Chapter 41: Awakening 2
Countess Elijah sent quite a few things. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
About half of the fruits in this world Stephen knew, and the other half didn't know but had eaten similar tastes. It is worth mentioning that the shrimp in this world are very large, close to the size of an adult's palm, and look very much like a lobster, which can easily clip off people's fingers. In terms of vegetables, it is relatively barren, and the aborigines of this world have not domesticated too many vegetables, and there are only so many kinds of cabbage lettuce or radish sprouts. The most frustrating thing is that there are no chili peppers in the north, which are very expensive and can only be shipped from the south.
Stephen tasted it casually and picked out a large red apple.
Apples are a good thing, not only nutritious but also have other uses, and the Stephens have mastered a unique alchemy technique that can refine ordinary apples into a powerful and rare treasure.
Today, the platforms and stairs of the mine are complete.
The guards sent by Countess Illya to deliver things were a little dumbfounded when they looked at the greatly changed mining area, and they couldn't believe that the silver mine had changed so much in just a few days. A neat marble staircase leads up to the mountainside, the platform has more than doubled in size, and a three-story house has been built and looks ready to be built up. They didn't know what the mine track was, but they had a feeling of uncertainty when they looked at the steel track. The awe of the wizard kept the guards from asking, but the changes here were a bit beyond their imagination.
Stephen didn't care about the aborigines' surprise, as if the ancients saw the TV and must have thought it was an artifact too!
During this time, the collection of Mithril Associated Ore has restored his strength a lot, and he has now reached the level of a level 7 alchemist. But rare minerals are still a few after all, and it is estimated that all the mining of this Mithril associated ore will only be enough for him to reach about level 10, and it will still take a lot of time to recover to the legendary level. For Stephen, mining and working is like meditation, because meditation itself is something that requires extreme concentration, and that's what he does at work. According to his own calculations, by the time he completes a wizard tower, he can slowly recover to a strength of around level 15 with the help of leyline energy and elemental passages.
This is roughly equivalent to the high-level mages of the Arcane Council, which belong to the third-order wizards in this aboriginal world.
"Lord Stephen!"
Just as Stephen was about to return to work in the mines, a knight rode to the mine, hurriedly asked the guards, and then hurried over, and said anxiously, "Lady Illya asked me to give you these two letters." ”
Could something have happened?
Stephen frowned and reached out to take the letter, opened it and suddenly realized, "So this is the case." ”
Eventually, something happened to the Golden Creek Manor.
Although Stephen doesn't know what Butler Bernard is doing secretly, it must have something to do with the experiments of the Aboriginal wizards. Miss Tinax's sudden death alerted him to the evil spirits behind his sudden death, so he immediately left with Countess Elijah. After Stephen left, Steward Berner apparently did not stop his experiments, and even used his influence in the manor to temporarily block the news of Miss Tinax's death. He was the uncle of the old Earl of Sutton, and although he looked a little younger, that was only the appearance of a wizard, and there were many ways for wizards to slow down their own aging. It was because of this identity that he suppressed the others and did not let the news spread, and the old Earl Sutton didn't notice the manor because he had just captured Windwind City and had too many things to deal with.
Until now, the old Earl of Sutton has been busy wooing powerful nobles and military officials.
But this situation was not until the Bernard steward himself had an accident, and finally it could no longer be covered up!
Ever since Miss Tinax's unexpected death, people have been dying or missing in the Golden Creek Manor, and the Butler Bernard has become more and more paranoid, relying on the power of wizards to restrict the freedom of others, and even seriously injuring a knight's servant. The atmosphere of terror and oppression frightened many in the manor, and eventually even led some servants to flee secretly. And the day before the letter was delivered to Stephen, a strange event happened in the Golden Creek Manor, and Miss Tinax, who was the first to die unexpectedly, actually disappeared.
Her body is gone!
This incident ignited pent-up fears and caused everyone's emotions to explode.
But before anyone else could react, Butler Berner was found dead in the back garden of Jinxi Manor the next day.
The scene of Bernard's butler's death is very strange, he was hanged from a laurel tree, his face was blue, his lips were black and purple, and his eyes were protruding, he did not hang himself with a rope, but was hanged by a strange vine around his neck. By the time the guards found him the next day, Bernard's body's body was already cold.
At this time, everything that happened during this time in the Golden Creek Manor was urgently sent to the old Earl Sutton in Windy City.
The old Earl of Sutton was stunned when he saw it!
Everything in Windwind City needs him to take over after Earl Keaton's death, and those cunning nobles need him to deal with them one by one, so he hasn't been back since he entered Windwind City. But what he never expected was that in just a few days, such a big thing happened in his manor. Not only did his daughter, Miss Tinax, die unexpectedly, but even the Bernard butler, whom his uncle had always trusted so much, died a strange death. In addition, in the past few days, seven or eight people have disappeared and died in Jinxi Manor, and now many servants and attendants have fled there.
But that's not the scariest thing!
What's even more terrifying is that yesterday a squire died in the back garden of the Windy Mansion after going to Windwind City to deliver a letter to the old Earl Sutton.
At this moment, the old Earl Sutton was completely panicked.
Nowadays, anyone who is not an idiot can realize that the matter is very serious, so after the initial panic, the old Earl of Sutton first thought of the mysterious Wizard Stephen. He personally went to Countess Elija to ask for help, but Stephen had been living in the mining area for a long time, and Lady Elijah could only send a letter to deliver it quickly, and at the same time wrote the details of what had happened.
"Miss Tinax's body is missing?"
"Did you come back to life?"
Stephen's resurrection naturally does not refer to the real resurrection, but to those resurrected dead, there is an eighty percent chance that there are parasitic evil spirits in Golden Creek Manor, and Miss Tinax's body seems to have become the hostel of evil spirits. All the people in the manor were riddled with evil thoughts, and it was for this reason that Stephen would immediately give Lady Elija and her daughter a little aftermath after leaving. The evil sigil left by the evil spirit will lock on these people, which is why some people are also killed after leaving the Golden Creek Manor. The old Earl of Sutton was now frightened, and wrote anxiously begging him to go back and help with the matter.
