Chapter 149: How to deal with werewolves
On the chest of the silver-armored man, there was a half-moon-shaped silver medal, just when Lin Chen thought that this guy was preparing to kill and seize the throne, the silver-armored man in front of him took down the delicate helmet that only showed his eyes, and saluted Lin Chen slightly, while the two rows of soldiers behind him all knelt on one knee!
Hidden under the helmet was a young and handsome face, with blonde hair and blue eyes.
"Crescent Knight, I want to know, how much silver is left in my territory?"
Lin Chen's unfocused gaze fell on the handsome face of the Crescent Moon Knight, he was always thinking about his identity, taking the position of this lord, just to win an excellent assassination opportunity, that's all!
"You all go out, and no one is allowed to enter without my orders, and those who forcibly trespass will be killed!"
The Crescent Moon Knight turned his head with a fierce expression and shouted at the soldiers behind him.
"Yes!"
The two rows of ironclad soldiers behind the Crescent Moon Knight received the order, and their actions were vigorous and resolute, and in the blink of an eye, they retreated cleanly like a tide!
"This ...... Considered ultra vires, right? ”
Lin Chen didn't bother to care, when the Crescent Moon Knight's gaze fell on the dozen or so "guards" behind Lin Chen, Lin Chen spoke: "They are my guards, find someone to take them to equip their weapons, and then settle down." ”
The existence of the abyssal lingua franca avoids language and cultural differences very well, so that the guys on the mission plane, even if they have not been exposed to Chinese language and culture, can understand Lin Chen's meaning without any obstacles.
The Crescent Moon Knight immediately summoned an ironclad soldier and took away the Dawn behind Lin Chen.
"Can you say it now?"
One-on-one, facing an ordinary human, even if he is very strong, he is by no means Lin Chen's opponent!
The armor on the Crescent Moon Knight's body, under Lin Chen's short sword, was no different from a piece of paper!
"My lord, now we are facing something more important."
The Crescent Moon Knight's face looked extremely serious, and he took a step forward and said, "A deadly plague is spreading in our territory!" ”
"Huh?"
Lin Chen keenly noticed his choice of words, "our", could it be that he still has a stake in this territory?
"It was the king's secret letter that said that the lord he sent had a solution, so I would give up the inheritance of the territory and wait for your arrival."
"Oh?"
After listening to the New Moon Knight's explanation, Lin Chen vaguely knew something, this guy, could it be the illegitimate son of his predecessor? Is it only because of the werewolves in the territory that they will give up the position of the lord?
This one......
Lin Chen's thoughts swirled in his heart, organizing the language.
"As far as I know, didn't my territory pay a large amount of silver coins to the Great Lord of Weiktor in order to seek protection?"
"Viktor?"
The Crescent Knight's blue eyes were full of mockery, and he sneered, "That insatiable guy is about to drain the territory. And ......"
The Crescent Moon Knight ignored Lin Chen's temptation, and did not react at all to Lin Chen's removal of the prefix of "we" in front of the territory and turning it into his own territory.
"Moreover, there have been fewer and fewer patrol soldiers he has sent to our territory recently, and it is estimated that those infected people have also made him feel a lot of pressure, he is no longer able to protect us, we must rely on ourselves, what do you say, Lord Lord?"
The Crescent Moon Knight said, turning around and walking towards one of the gates connected to the castle hall, and said, "Moreover, there is not much silver left in the territory, just enough to pay it again in exchange for that little protection!" ”
The Crescent Moon Knight said as he led Lin Chen to a passage in the castle and opened a small door with the key.
At the entrance, there is a small basement, simply decorated, made of large stones, and placed with a few wooden boxes!
"These, these, these......"
The Crescent Moon Knight opened the wooden boxes one by one, and in the two large wooden boxes, the flashing metallic light made Lin Chen feel a little dazzling!
Among them were silver coins, one of which was already full, and the other was only half of it.
In another small wooden box, there was a box full of paper, and Lin Chen's eyes were focused on it, all of which were the ownership certificates of some land and slaves.
"Before I give you the key......"
The Crescent Moon Knight turned his head and set his gaze on Lin Chen's body, those crimson pupils made his heart stun slightly!
"My lord, can you tell me how to deal with this damned plague?"
There was a hint of threat in the Crescent Moon Knight's tone, as if Lin Chen didn't give him an explanation, he wouldn't recognize Lin Chen's identity!
"Silver."
Lin Chen gently tapped the metal inlaid on the edge of the wooden box, and slowly spit out a syllable.
"Silver?"
The poor bastard apparently did not know the fact that werewolves were allergic to silver, and that Viktor had kept this fact well under wrap in order to protect his interests to the greatest extent.
"Don't you wonder why the soldiers of Viktor can easily kill those who are infected, but we can't?"
Lin Chen's gaze turned to the Crescent Moon Knight, took the key from his somewhat stiff hand, and said, "Because their weapons are plated with silver, and the infected, after encountering silver, it is as if they have encountered poison, and they will definitely die!" ”
Lin Chen said as he closed the full box of silver coins, and instead aimed half a box of silver coins at the Crescent Moon Knight.
"Trust me, it's a blessing from God."
"However, for some reason, those guys are always more and more, as if they can't be killed, originally the infected in our territory have been strangled by the army of Weikdo, but after a while, they have appeared again!"
The Crescent Moon Knight frowned and said a little tiredly, as if he were endlessly werewolves, leaving him exhausted.
"Uh...... You call them the intested, don't you know how they came to be? ”
"What?"
A trace of confusion flashed in the Crescent Moon Knight's eyes, and he looked at Lin Chen in confusion.
“……”
Lin Chen's thoughts were racing, and he instantly understood that this might be a problem in the translation of the abyssal lingua franca, in Lin Chen's understanding, it was the concept of "infected", but when he said it, it might be another name.
"The source of the infected is actually us humans! Maybe it's a soldier, maybe it's a slave, maybe it's a farmer, but any human killed by the infected will become a new infected person after a while! ”
"Before I entered town, I found several untreated corpses in the fields, did you do this in the hope that those guys would stop bothering you when they had had their fill?"
"Ahem!"
The Crescent Moon Knight, who was mentioned by Lin Chen, did have this kind of thought, but after being poked by Lin Chen, he looked a little embarrassed.
"Wrong! They will become new infected in a day or two! Because of this powerful infectious surname and the reason for their formation, I call them werewolves! ”
"What?! This...... This ......"
Lin Chen glanced at the Crescent Moon Knight, who was almost silent, and said, "In the future, if there is a corpse killed by a werewolf in the territory, or a human being who died due to a werewolf's scratch, don't bury it, just burn it with fire." ”
After a pause, Lin Chen pointed to the half box of silver coins and said: "Find a blacksmith to melt them, and only part of the melee weapons will be plated, the main thing is to plate all the arrows with silver, and use long-range attacks to kill, which can minimize the casualties in our territory!" ”
"This box, use it as a tribute, Weikeduo is far more terrible than werewolves."
"Uh......"
Lin Chen's continuous rhetoric seemed as if he had been studying to deal with werewolves for more than ten years, and the analysis of response and preventive measures was extremely clear, and he directly established the guiding ideology, and said that the Crescent Moon Knight was stunned, only feeling that his head was not enough, and he couldn't wait to remember everything Lin Chen said word for word!
The Crescent Moon Knight, whose thinking had not yet turned, naturally would not raise objections, and he was still combing through the information carried in Lin Chen's words.
"By the way, how long is it until the tribute from Viktor?"
After returning to the hall of the castle, Lin Chen asked.
Although it was not known why the new lord was so keen on paying tribute, the Crescent Knight was quick to answer.
"As is customary, they will send messengers to escort us to his castle tomorrow night." (To be continued.) )
