Chapter 109: A Bizarre Case
After the dinner, Ole rushed back from the field.
When he learned that Willy had been promoted to knight, Ole's reaction was exactly the same as Baron Kells had predicted.
Pride, joy and some embarrassment, as if the student has not taught anything yet, the student has become a teacher on his own.
It's a strange feeling that's hard to describe.
After saying goodbye to the Baron's family and Ole, Willy also returned to Fandoutun with Vilia.
In the next half month, Willy let himself relax, he did not rush to continue to practice the intermediate stage of the Frost Knight Breathing Method, but carefully surveyed Fandoutun for some days, and discussed a lot of things about the future development of Fandoutun with Old York and Lake.
Originally, Willy wanted to continue to rest at home for a while, but Dahn came to Fandoutun to visit, and tactfully told Willy that at the beginning of the new year, as the deputy captain of the pro-military department, he should work hard.
He had to set an example of hard work.
Although Willy was reluctant to live this kind of leisurely life, Dahn's kind reminder that he still had to accept it.
On the twentieth day after the end of the New Year, Willy returned to the pro-military department.
Pro-Military Agency, inside Vaeley's office.
Stacks of thick papers lay out on Willy's desk, almost half of the tabletop.
These were all the documents that Sandor handled on his behalf during the days when he was not in the pro-military department, and he needed to review them again at this time.
"Thanks to Sandor ......"
Willy muttered under his breath as he flipped through the pages, the dry words making him feel very bored. If it weren't for the fact that he wanted to create an image of diligence in front of his subordinates, he really wanted to leave here directly.
Willy flipped through boredly, and suddenly, when he flipped to a roundup of policing cases in Diamond Town, an interested look appeared on his face.
Diamond Town, as well as the surrounding villages and tunzi, security is done by the guards. Although the pro-soldier signature is called the work place of the pro-soldier, it also includes the guards under its command. Therefore, the summary of the security incidents of the guards must be reported to the pro-military department.
On the last day of each month, the guards report on the various law and order incidents that occurred that month in a simplified version for Willy to see.
And the case that made Willy interested appeared in the briefing.
"The ...... of the mysterious disappearance of poultry"
Willy sat up straight and read the entire brief description word for word.
In Stone Village, south of Diamond Town, a series of rather strange things happened a few years ago. The poultry in the village, from one day on, began to disappear continuously. But every next morning, there was no trace of hacking in the stolen villagers' homes.
So some villagers began to squat in the middle of the night, trying to catch the thief directly. But when that night came, the villagers who were squatting in the middle of the night were frightened.
According to the villager's recollection, that night the dark clouds were thick and the stars were dim, and only a ray of white moonlight shone through the clouds, enveloping the entire village.
The chickens and ducks that were sleeping soundly in the yard seemed to have received some kind of mysterious call at the same time. They got up at the same time, lined up, and marched forward in perfect unison, following the planks on the wall, jumping out of the courtyard and disappearing into the night.
This bizarre and absurd statement was described by the villager when he came to Diamond Town early the next morning to report to the guards.
He also said that he was completely frightened at that time, and he didn't even dare to pant loudly, he didn't sleep all night, and he didn't dare to come out of the house until dawn.
The guards who received the report did not believe it at first, but because of the regulations, they sent two or three people to verify the situation.
After investigation, it was found that the theft of poultry did happen. But that strange scene was only seen by the villagers who reported the crime.
Under the pleading of the villagers, a guard was stationed in the stone village for three days. But during these three days, the poultry loss did not happen again, and the guards returned to Diamond Town.
That is, the case is now at an unresolved stage.
The guards involved in the investigation, including Sandor, who approved and verified on behalf of Wiley, all believed that the reporter in this case was mentally disturbed and had difficulty providing effective evidence in his words.
But in Willy's opinion, this is not the case, and what the villager said is likely to be true.
Because of this seemingly bizarre method, he can do it himself.
The knowledge and animal taming techniques conferred by the title of Intermediate Beast Tamer allow Willy to cultivate through specific unconscious habits, allowing these birds to form some kind of conditioned reflexes. This degree of manipulation can also be achieved after making some animals instinctively combine with the external environment and emit certain signals.
The villager may have been frightened by what was happening at the time, so he didn't notice if there was any specific signal coming out.
For example, there are frequent sounds or other signs.
"Very interesting......
Willy finally found something of interest.
Could it be that in the small stone village, there will also be a master of animal taming?
Wei Li, who had been going back and forth between Diamond Town and Fandoutun, suddenly felt that he could take advantage of this opportunity to start the road of patrolling the villages and tunzi under his rule.
"Guards!"
Willy shouted.
Immediately after, a guard with a crossed sword at his waist walked in.
"Lord Willy. ”
The guards bowed and waited for Willy's orders.
"Call Dahn. ”
Willy commanded.
Sandor usually deals with more government affairs, and Dahn is relatively relaxed, so he chooses to let Dahn be in charge of arranging this matter.
"Yes. ”
Soon after the guards left, Dahn hurried in.
"Captain, what are your instructions?"
Dahn asked.
"Look at this. ”
Willy handed Dahn the roundup of the strange cases.
Dahn had a strange expression, as if Willy had never been concerned about the work of the pro-military department, let alone seen him carefully examine the documents several times.
Still, he took the review and looked down at it in detail.
"I remember that the case seemed to have been settled by default, after all, there was no subsequent loss of poultry. ”
Dahn was also impressed by the case and said to Willy.
In this era, petty troubles no longer happen, and the guards will no longer spend manpower to deal with this matter, after all, it is too insignificant.
"This case is very interesting, you can arrange a few people for me......"
After a pause, Willy changed his words again: "Just you and me, let's go to Stone Village together to investigate the whole story." ”
"You ......"
Dahn was a little incredulous for a while, for this small case, the captain who has always ignored government affairs wants to investigate it personally?
