Chapter 467: "Strange Things" in Gulain City
Living on the outskirts of Gulain, Riddle's family runs a small ranch with unicorns endemic to the Southern Continent.
The unicorn sheep is not only strong and has excellent endurance, it is a good choice for pulling and renting a black coffin, but also the meat is very chewy, which is quite popular with some gentlemen from the Northern Continent.
Of course, there are also fresh ladies and ladies who feed them as pets, but after all, they are in the minority...... After all, although the unicorn is special, it is not so cute when it grows up.
Relying on the income from the ranch, the Riddle family stepped into the ranks of the middle class, not only did they have no worries about food and clothing, but also occasionally traveled to the Rhodes Islands and went on vacation.
But lately, Riddle has been so troubled that he often can't sleep, and even his favorite little daughter, Valeria, doesn't dare to speak loudly at home.
Because his one-horned sheep had an unknown disease, they were losing weight day by day, and even a few of them could not even stand up, and could die at any time.
For Riddle, he couldn't accept the loss of any sheep, especially now that everything was wrong...... If he doesn't find a solution, he will probably go bankrupt as a result, and it will be difficult to keep even this small ranch......
Therefore, in the past few days, he has been going to the city every day to find various experts, scholars, doctors, and even priests from the "Lord of the Storm" church to find a solution, but the problem has not been solved after spending a lot of money.
And yesterday, after going into the city again to find a solution, he heard his youngest daughter Valeria say that she had picked up a silver card, and just as she was about to return it to its owner, the gentleman disappeared - Valeria had come to buy food, so she was separated from her father who had gone to the city for help.
Riddle didn't take it seriously, but he praised his daughter's behavior, and thought that the gentleman was right, and that her quality was more dazzling than the silver glittering card.
But what he didn't expect was that late that night, when he was still too troubled to sleep, Valeria ran into his bedroom in high spirits, took him by the hand and told a strange story.
She said that she had been taken by the card to a wonderful place that could not be described in words, and there she saw again the gentleman who had dropped the card.
The man who calls himself Doctor Strange says that anyone who gets his card and comes to his mysterious abode can get an answer to any question from him, if he can answer it.
Valeria was stunned by the scene, and even though the mysterious gentleman's tone was gentle throughout, she was still very nervous......
However, as her father's favorite daughter, she knew what problems her father had been bothering her recently, so she asked the question of how to cure the unicorn without much thought.
And "Doctor Strange" asked the symptoms of those sheep in detail, and quickly gave a solution: a method of preparing potions.
It wasn't until Valeria confirmed that she had memorized the recipe for the potion that she snapped to her senses.
At first, Valeria thought it was just a dream, but soon she noticed that the card in her hand was gone.
Therefore, Valeria, who was completely convinced that she had an adventure, excitedly went to her parents' bedroom and woke up her father.
Riddle was skeptical of his daughter's words, thinking that what she said was too unbelievable...... If he hadn't known that his daughter never lied, he wouldn't even have "half-believed".
But after listening to the recipe, he found that the herbs were not difficult to find, and thought of the dying unicorn sheep in his pasture, Riddle finally decided to "treat the dead sheep as a live sheep doctor" and try the effect.
He searched for all the herbs he needed overnight, and fed them to a few sheep that were dying of illness just as the sun was about to rise over the horizon.
The sheep didn't change much at first, but at one point Riddle was so disappointed that he thought he was so stupid that he would be busy in the middle of the night to believe a prescription of unknown origin.
But about an hour later, the sheep that had drunk the medicine suddenly changed their previous loss of appetite and took the initiative to eat the feed, and one of them was even able to stand up swayingly.
Riddle was overjoyed by this scene, and hurriedly prepared all the remaining herbs into a potion and fed them to the sheep with mild symptoms, and in less than half a day, they were cured!
Riddle only then truly believed that his daughter really had an "adventure", so he took her into the city again, hoping to find the "Doctor Strange" that Valeria had met...... It's a pity that I didn't find it.
At the same time, the people in the city who have picked up the card or unknowingly felt that the card has solved the problem that plagued them that night.
Among them are scholars, who have suddenly opened up on a difficult problem; There are young girls who do not want to accept the marriage arranged by their parents, and they are given a practical plan of struggle and set about to implement it; There is a drunkard who died inexplicably due to his family before, and he completely changed this night and embarked on the road of revenge......
Things didn't cause much trouble at first, but as more and more people discovered that the knowledge they had gained in their dreams was really feasible, it became difficult to keep the secret, after all, many "changes" were visible to the naked eye.
As a result, the name "Doctor Strange" spread throughout the city of Gullayin......
This naturally attracted the attention of the "night watchmen" and "punishers" in the city.
A civilian member of the Nightwatchman team also picked up the card, though she didn't see "Doctor Strange" last night, but the card disappeared when she woke up.
Because of the terrible events he had experienced in the past, this civilian did not dare to slack off, and immediately reported it to Tina Incas, the captain of the "Night Watchman" team in Gulayin City.

Left Ear Zone, 11 Earlobe Street.
In a conference room beneath the Storm Lord's Church, night watchmen and substitutes gather to discuss the incident that occurred last night.
A middle-aged night watchman stood up, opened the preliminary investigation report, and introduced it to everyone present:
"Case 1: The curing of the rancher Riddle's unicorn ...... As a result, the sheep that had contracted the disease were in better condition, no 'depravity' or 'evil' was detected, and the potion formula provided was purely herbal and did not involve extraordinary effects.
Case 2: Engineer Zela's New Design Ideas Incident...... As a result, Zela's plant has seen a 10% increase in productivity and a quarter of a cost saving...... As a result, Zela's salary doubled...... No extraordinary involvement.
"Case 3: The Drunkard Old Tony Incident...... The death of Tony's family was determined to have been an accident, and we have confirmed it...... But the 'Doctor Strange' gave a 'reasoning' of the 'instigator' to commit the crime, which was logical, and Tony found decisive evidence according to the other party's prompts after sobering up...... We have decided to reopen the investigation into this case.
Case 4......
Case 5......
"Case 6, the incident of Ex's identification of the potion formula from the Baron...... Ackes received the Celebrant potion recipe from the Baron from Doctor Strange, which was later found to be genuine and effective......
"Case 7: Suzanne was not called...... Susanna, a civilian on duty at night, picked up the card and did not enter the so-called 'residence' of Doctor Strange, as the other party seemed to be deliberately avoiding the righteous guards. ”
"To sum up, first of all, the 'Doctor Strange' who suddenly appeared will 'summon' the person holding his card to the so-called 'residence' through a dream, and will answer a question from the other party...... So far, there is nothing he can't answer.
"Secondly, the card is only spread in the city of Gulain, and not everyone who gets the card will be 'summoned' by him...... Regardless of whether summoned or not, the card will disappear before dawn, and the specific reason is unknown and is yet to be investigated.
"In the end, although he has not yet caused harm to ordinary people, his mind is unpredictable, this kind of behavior is very dangerous, and must be stopped, otherwise it may cause a great disaster."
After the night watchman finished reporting, the rest of the people whispered for a while, and soon found the entry point of the investigation:
"Only in Gulain, and it came out of nowhere...... Then the extraordinary person codenamed 'Doctor Strange' is likely to have recently arrived in the city by ship...... We can start with the hotel customer records and rental records! ”
There is no disagreement with this, and in the absence of a clue, this is the most practical and effective approach.

Byam, Aromatic Estate.
Abner, who had just gotten out of his bed, had just gotten out of his bed, and he couldn't help but smile as he recalled last night's "harvest".
The essence of the "play" of "erudite" really lies in the word "erudite", which is not just "erudition" in the occult field, but to cover all aspects...... And "apply what you have learned", help others solve problems, and give others their own "erudite" cognition.
This is probably the most important part of the "polymath" play.
