40 The Road to Hell

Shepp still thinks it's all stupid.

Why waste days with precious bread when something that can be accomplished with a whip alone?

What a waste of time and money.

Is......

Stupid......

But he can't draw a line with the Idiot Demon King now, because ......

He looked sadly at a row of strangely shaped crockpots rising from the mist.

The crockpots were stacked two by two and set up over the fire, with water in the lower crockpots and chopped reeds in the upper ones.

The surface of the crockpot was painted with strange symbols by the Demon King with charcoal.

The Baroness claimed that she was experimenting with the recipe for that pulp.

But this scene looks like witchcraft......

And that's not counting the damn witch......

While showing the Baroness all the gelatinous plants she had collected over the past few days, she refused to give up and said to the priest: "I see that Jenny from a certain village is good, and she is so strong that she can carry a millstone with one hand!" The babies born in custody are as strong as bears...... Margaret from a certain village is good, her hands and feet are small, she has no village spirit, and she spun yarn well, so she can be not only the wife of Mr. Priest, but also the wife of Lord Bishop......"

Shepp fled.

Mrs. Hansen has two stunts, one is to talk to two people at the same time, and she can talk so much that neither of them can interject, as if she had two tongues, and the other is that she can hear a needle falling into the straw a mile away when she is happy, and when she is unhappy, even if the priest wears out his mouth and says that he has taken a single vow, it is completely in his ears.

These two stunts were performed together, and the priest had no other idea than to run for his life.

It was really a run for her life, but fortunately the hostess told her to listen and must stay with the baroness to accompany her in the experiment.

Otherwise, Shepp was very suspicious that there was such a spirit behind him, and he would be able to live for a few days.

But leaving the paper workshop, the air outside is not much fresher.

Black smoke is billowing from the brick kiln.

Thinking of the scene in the paper mill just now, the priest suddenly felt that the devil had slowly opened the gates of hell......

He walked forward quickly, not daring to think about it.

I want to go crazy.

Then he froze.

"What's that?"

Three people in the swamp are waving strange things.

It seems to have been fitted with a long handle for the sickle.

Which one is this?

Before he could see the reason, a servant came, and he was looking for a visit from his mistress, the merchant Jacob the Elder.

Jacob Sr. brought a cart of coal and baskets of seeds.

The Baroness happily paid for the coal and promised to sign a writ of habeas corpus for old Jacob after the seed had sprouted into the grass she needed.

"What's the benefit?" As he left, the question that had been haunting him and his family for many days was still swirling in his mind.

The baroness paid for the coal, so it must not have been to joke with him as a pagan, where was the silver to joke?

But where exactly are the benefits?

Even his own family, the most learned priest of the clan, could not see anything special about this weed.

I can't figure it out.

If he knew that Luo Yi would next turn over the fallow land and plant this weed, he would probably be even more puzzled.
