Aitburg, dark at night.

"A kind of grass?" Lin Ke let his expression relax as much as possible, and his smile became thicker, "Tell me, what kind of grass is it?"

The young man felt very good when he said this, and he was even more relaxed when he saw the noble lord smiling at him, "It's a grass I've never seen before, this kind of grass is about this long," he said with his two hands at a distance of about thirty centimeters, "The green leaves have red markings on them." ”

The other fellow, who had never dared to speak, also seemed to be encouraged and hurriedly said, "The roots are also red like blood, and the pigs and beasts fed with this grass grow fast and strong, but this grass matures a little slowly." ”

"Bloodveined Grass ......" Brooke was a little speechless for a moment, these guys actually used Bloodweed Grass to feed pigs and beasts!

"What is Bloodweed?" asked Linko.

"Blood-streaked grass is a precious magical medicinal material, which is generally grown in the wild, and there are not many in circulation on the market, so it is very valuable. The Blood Stripe Grass has a huge auxiliary effect on the cultivation of fire attribute spellcasters and fire attribute warriors, and some medicines refined with the Blood Pattern Grass as the main ingredient can even help fire attribute professionals break through the bottleneck," Brooke looked at the three of them viciously, he almost wanted to kill.

"Wait, it's usually wild-grown?" Linko looked at Brooke, and only after seeing the latter nod did he suppress his shock and gesture to him and Burton, and the two of them willingly transferred the surrounding guards and servants away, and only Linko, Cher, Lilith, Neil, Brooke and Burton and the three civilians were left on this section of the wall, and Linko said to the last of the three to speak, "You just said that this grass is a little slow to mature?"

The three of them were a little frightened by this strange atmosphere, and the guy who was originally the most timid hesitated for a while before he said with a little trembling, "Yes, sir." ”

"So that means you can grow this grass?" said Lin Ke.

The older man had already roughly understood what Lin Ke meant, and hurriedly said, "Yes sir, we have tried to grow this grass, and discovered its breeding methods and breeding conditions, we are willing to dedicate all this to you who are merciful!" After a moment's hesitation, he added, "We will bear the sin of inviting the beast tide, please don't blame our family!"

Lin Ke glanced at the older man meaningfully and said, "What's your name?"

"If you go back to the old man, my name is Peter, and you can call me old Peter," the middle-aged man calmed down a lot at this time.

"Who discovered this blood-streaked grass, and who cultivated it?" asked the other two.

The younger man was still stunned when he looked at everything in front of him, and said with a little stammering, "Yes, it was Old Peter, Old Peter found it, and it was also bred by Old Peter, and the two of us are his neighbors, and we have also fed pigs and beasts with this grass...... Honorable noble lord, please let us go, we all have a family to take care of, my lord!" the younger man and the two who didn't talk often fell to their knees and kowtowed.

Lin Ke didn't pay much attention to the two and just waved his hand to help them up, but the guards who stepped forward frightened the two of them, and thought that they were going to pull them out and cut off their heads, and it took a while to calm down.

Linko glanced at Old Peter with some surprise and instructed Burton, "Take Old Peter to a safe place, I'll ask him something later, and the other two will let them go back to where they should go." ”

"Yes, young master," Burton never hesitated or faux pas.

"Thank you, sir, thank you, sir!" the two of them seemed to have been pardoned, and then they looked at old Peter in unison, a little unbearable, but neither of them spoke again.

When the city walls became quiet again, Linko spoke again, "Uncle Brooke, can just the blood-streaked grass really attract such a large group of beasts?"

Brooke said with some uncertainty, "If there are a lot of them, there are some possibilities, maybe they alarmed a certain magical beast that happened to be passing by." ”

"I hope so," Linko muttered.

――――――――――――――――――――

The first rays of the morning sun illuminate Nausicaa.

The light shines on the huge windmill, leaving a huge shadow in the city.

Lynco stayed awake all night, standing on the rampart of the city wall and keeping an eye on the situation outside, and behind him Cher and Lilith and Neil never left half a step. Only Brooke and Burton left to settle the city's defenses and daily affairs.

"It's dawn, the beasts are almost scattered, Sister Xue'er, you and Lilith go back and rest for a while, there are probably some things to be busy during the day," Lin Ke looked at the tired but stubborn appearance of the two girls and felt a little helpless.

Cher pouted but stood still, and Lilith only shook her head slightly and ignored it.

I don't know how many times similar conversations have been conducted, but none of the three of them gave up, so Neil behind the three of them shook his head speechlessly and muttered to himself in his heart, but it attracted a roll of the eyes from Lin Ke.

"If you don't go, I'll go," Lin Ke stretched his waist, and he was not sleepy at this time, when he had always had a regular schedule.

"Where are you going, young master, but let your room go out for someone else to live in!" Cher reminded.

"Then go to your and Lilith's room and squeeze it," Linko said in a rare inconsistency look.

"I can still accept it," Cher blushed shyly, but stubbornly did not want to look down and looked at Lilith instead, but found that the latter didn't have much emotion at all, and nodded indifferently......

Lin Ke fled.

――――――――――――――――――――

Outside Aetherburg, the herd of beasts gradually dispersed, and during the day, the few high-level Zerg demonic beasts only showed their heads from a distance and left, and they chose to retreat without trying to launch even one attack, which made the people in the castle somewhat happy.

The guards knights, who had taken turns resting for the night, began to sweep up all the lone beasts that had not left the large mound in the area surrounded by the river, and some of the daring hunters of Nausicaa also participated, and they dealt with the lone beasts that had been running around all night even more neatly than the guards knights.

When the last beast has been cleared, and Brooke, who was sent to work as a scout, has confirmed that the beast herd has indeed gone away, and the alarm has been lifted, the civilians of Nausicaa began to excitedly deal with the beast corpses that were killed in the wilderness, believing that they will not worry about food for a long time in the future, and the stumps and severed limbs all over the ground also make their eyes look at Linko and others more and more in awe.

After sending a few of Fort Ait's original guards to the surrounding commanding heights to be on guard, Lin Ke forced Cher and Lilith to catch up on sleep, and finally ended the repeated entanglement of the topic was Lin Ke's skin care from the earth.

Lynco himself, however, took Neil and Brooke and Burton to the place where old Peter was settled.

"Don't be nervous," Lin Ke said to old Peter who got up in a hurry, obviously he didn't sleep all night, "I'm just interested in the cultivation of bloodweed, of course, you should be able to understand, this kind of thing can't be known to too many people, so I'm sorry to keep you here waiting for me all night." ”

"Don't dare, it's my pleasure!" said old Peter.

"Let's talk about it, Brooke and I went to your yard to see it, and judging by the broken branches and leaves, it's indeed bloodweed, and of course, the garden where you planted exotic flowers and plants has been completely destroyed. ”

"Yes, noble lord," said old Peter very smoothly, and his thoughts were much clearer when he hadn't slept all night, "I stumbled upon the blood-streaked grass in a valley on the outskirts of Arashiyama, and I was just curious at first, thinking that it was a plant that I had never seen before, so I moved all three of them back with their roots, and I didn't take it too seriously, so I kept it as a hobby." Its breeding method is very peculiar, the conditions required are also relatively special, I found a little trick after combining its original growth environment and fiddling with two dead plants, I was lucky to complete the breeding, and lived two plants at once, originally this matter ended here, who knew that one day the captive pig beast jumped out of the circle and gnawed a lot of plants in the garden, I starved it for three days in a fit of anger, who knows," Old Peter cautiously glanced at Brooke who was standing behind Lin Ke, and found that the latter had a regretful expression, and couldn't help lowering his voice, "Who knew that the pig beast that had been hungry for three days not only did not have any discomfort, but grew up several times quickly, I just noticed these flowers and plants in the garden, and finally found that it was this blood pattern grass that made the pig beast grow up quickly, you have to believe me, I didn't know that this kind of grass would attract the monster to launch a beast tide to snatch it, if I knew, I wouldn't dare to plant it!"

"Okay, don't worry, it's hard to know for sure what the beast tide is, but after all, this is a false alarm that didn't cause too much damage, and I didn't intend to hold anyone responsible," Lin Ke saw that he still couldn't let go and had to reassure him again, "I have an idea that needs to be consulted by you, old Peter." ”

"You just say master!" Old Peter put down the big stone in his heart, and was immediately full of infinite gratitude to the benevolent and kind noble lord in front of him, "You can do whatever old Peter does, and we old Peter should not be qualified to express his opinions in front of you." ”

Burton, who was standing behind Lin Ke without saying a word, nodded with satisfaction, which made Old Peter, who had seen his behavior, feel a lot more settled.

"I want you to be officially loyal to the Mutes family and become a high-ranking servant of my Mutes family!" Linko said in a flat tone.

Old Peter was a little stunned for a while, in the eyes of these civilians, the guys who can enter and exit Aitburg to perform escort work on weekdays are already superior in the town, but Old Peter knows very well that none of them can be recognized by the family as an official guard, and the servants engaged in daily management in Aitburg are all sent from the big city where the Mutes family is located, and in the eyes of commoners like Old Peter, they are already considered big people, and now, in his eyes, the noble lord not only does not hold himself accountable for his own mistakes but gives himself a qualification to join the family！

A high-ranking minion! That's a different title that can be felt literally!

"What are you thinking about, big man, just a little bit!" Brooke didn't have a good impression of these guys who fed the pigs and beasts with fire attribute spirit grass.

"Yes, my lord, I do, I do!" said old Peter.

"Very well," Linko stood up and patted old Peter on the shoulder, this behavior that was originally rude to the earth made the latter almost jump with excitement, "Uncle Burton, I'll leave the rest to you, I've done enough to do it, I hope you don't blame me." ”

"How so, your will is our will," Burton saluted respectfully, wishing old Peter to go home and be reunited with his family, and not to mention anything about the Bloodweed to anyone, including his family, who went away rejoicing.

Only a few people were left in the room.

"Uncle Burton, I don't know what the family's finances are, and I don't plan to know too much, but you must do this hard work!" Lin Ke solemnly saluted Burton, leaving the latter busy for a while.

"Aitburg must become a new source of wealth for the family!"
