Chapter 187: Lake Norwich
Two days later, Jason took hundreds of soldiers and a huge net that had already been completed, and drove for a day and a night to the frozen lake west of the Iron Fang, accompanied by Beowulf and Hassan.
Ronnat stayed in Ironfang, and the day after Mr. Feige reappeared, he hurried out to find his favorite student.
In addition to his superb medical skills, he also combined his extraordinary strength and medical skills to create his own school, so he was eager to find a disciple who was talented in this area.
Then he looked at the big lake in front of him with a thick layer of ice and asked, "Is there any name for this glacial lake?"
"Your Excellency, the name of this lake is Norwich, which means the jewel of the north. The villager guide they found hurriedly replied with some excitement.
There is a small fishing village next to Lake Norwich, where every family has a small boat, and they usually depend on the fish caught in this large lake, but in the winter they have nothing to do with the fish under the ice.
"Immediately tell the soldiers to set up tents for the night, we will spend the next few days here. Jason nodded, then ordered.
"My lord, you can live in the village. The villager answered nervously as soon as Jason finished speaking.
"No, I'm going to look at how to do winter fishing here. ”
Jason smiled at him, in fact, he felt that living in the village with more than 100 people would cause a lot of inconvenience to the villagers, at least there would be not enough accommodation.
The villagers had to give them their lodgings, and he thought it would be better not to disturb them, because they had enough tents anyway.
After saying that, Jason took a few steps forward and looked at the ice under his feet, although it had not snowed recently, the temperature was still cold, and hundreds of people stood on the ice without pressure.
"My lord, the thickness of the ice has been measured, and the average is about one meter. ”
At this moment a soldier ran over, still holding a metal fork in his hand.
"Do you remember the process I taught you?" Jason nodded, and with such a thick layer of ice, he didn't have to worry about accidents in the middle of the fishing.
"Remember, sir. ”
The soldier said in a deep voice, before he came, Jason had divided the labor among them, and the work of digging holes, lowering nets, and collecting nets was clearly assigned.
"Beowulf!" Jason turned his head and shouted at Beowulf, who was closing his eyes and not knowing what he was doing, "It's up to you and Hassan to help me locate the fish!"
Because Jason didn't know how to locate the fish nest, he could only choose this more brutal method, relying on the transcendent perception of their earth knights to locate the fish.
"Don't worry, sir. ”
Beowulf opened his eyes, he had just tried to see if he could sense the fluctuations of life under the ice, and now he was sure that he could do it, as long as a large number of life gathered under the ice could be detected by him.
Then he ran as fast as he could on the ice, his huge perception covering a hundred meters around his body, and the wind and grass in this range could not hide from him.
The rest of the people hurriedly packed up their tools and prepared for the work that would come in a moment. Jason watched as Beowulf rushed out and turned to the soldiers beside him.
"Yes, sir. The soldier immediately turned and left.
As for where Hassan went, Jason said that he didn't know either, this person's concealment ability was even more perverted than Morando, and he disappeared at every turn, maybe now she is standing by Jason's side.
This is one of the reasons why Beowulf does not consider himself his opponent.
The villagers on the side were confused, looking at the huge fishing net in the distance and feeling a little incredible, could this be because it was impossible to fish in winter?
Soon after, Beowulf returned, his expression a little surprised: "My lord, I have found a place where life energy is very dense, roughly estimated to be in the thousands. ”
"It's good to have someone bring our nets and we'll go over now. Jason was also full of excitement, but he was ready for the first few nets, after all, he had no experience before.
Their nets are hundreds of meters long, with heavy loads hanging from the bottom, and on top are wooden poles for leading ropes, which are gradually moved from the inlet to the outlet.
Dozens of soldiers followed Beowulf to the fish nest he had chosen, and began to make holes in the ice following the marks he had left behind, leaving a thirty-centimeter-sized hole every ten meters or so, leaving hundreds of such holes in the ice.
"Ready to start netting. Jason looked at the entrance to the net in front of him, took a deep breath, and said in a deep voice.
Because the nets were too big and heavy, they needed more than a dozen people to drag the steel ropes to slowly lower the nets into place, and because of their lack of experience and improper operation, this process alone took them nearly four or five hours.
"My lord, the net has been laid out, and it is ready to be closed at any time. ”
After nearly a day of work, Jason returned to the tent to rest because the net process was too long, when a soldier came to report the news on the ice to him.
In a few moments, Jason rode to the lower net, and looked at the tired soldiers, who were so tired from their work that their armor was taken off to the side.
"Start closing the net. ”
Jason looked at them and whispered, but by this time his mood had calmed down.
"Start closing the net!" a soldier mounted his horse and ran towards the exit of the net, shouting as he ran.
There were more than a dozen soldiers and more than a dozen horses on the other side of the net, and after receiving the order, they immediately replaced the rope with a thick hemp rope, and slowly pulled the fishing net out of the water with the horse winch.
Jason and the others also hurriedly followed, and when they arrived at the net outlet, the fishing net had already been pulled out of the water.
It's just that there is still not a single fish in sight for the time being, everyone is holding their breath and just staring at the water, and there is only the sound of the winch turning in the field.
Suddenly, Jason seemed to see something moving under the water, and he almost jumped up in excitement.
But one soldier was even more agitated than him, pointing to the water and shouting, "There's something! There's something moving under the water!"
They had a busy day, and the last thing they wanted to waste was these hundred soldiers.
As soon as he finished speaking, a fish was dragged out from under the water, and the ground was instantly frozen and stiff by the cold temperature.
And then the second, and the third...... More and more fish are being pulled out from under the surface, and there are even fish that are half a meter long.
"Oh!!"
The soldiers couldn't help but hug each other and cheered.
A black light flashed, and Hassan appeared next to Jason, startling Jason.
Hassan watched in surprise at the growing catch in the net, and couldn't help but turn his head to look at Jason, who was a little distrustful when he first learned of Jason's plan.
Fortunately, he didn't raise any objections at the time, otherwise he would have been slapped in the face.
"This, this, this ......"
The villager guide watched this scene in amazement, how could a fish still be caught like this?
"Go back and inform your villagers, and bring the guys here to get fish for the winter. Jason also smiled and patted the villager on the shoulder.
"Huh?" The villager first looked at Jason with his mouth wide open, and only after a while did he react, he was instantly filled with a huge surprise, and quickly bowed and thanked: "Thank you, thank you for your generosity!"
Then he turned and ran in the direction of the village.
