Chapter Seventy-One: Grace and Might
Night. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
In the square at the entrance of Faro Village, a bonfire was blazing, and the villagers looked at Jacob on the stage with fear and numbness.
Jacob's toned appearance had a majesty that was different from ordinary people, and he stood there, completely suppressing the momentum of hundreds of villagers.
"I'm Jacob, Knight of the Federation. We're here to deliver orders from the Federation, and in three days' time, a horde of mutated creatures will be coming here. ”
Jacob's words caused a commotion.
"Quiet. Jacob once again suppressed all the villagers in the audience, he looked around the audience, and said sharply, "If there is any more noisy, they will be charged with insulting the federal knights." ”
As he spoke, the slab shattered at Jacob's feet.
The exclamation came from the mouths of the villagers, and under the light of the bonfire, there was already a look of uneasiness in the eyes of the villagers.
Jacob was somewhat satisfied with his performance, and then said, "Next, please ask my comrade-in-arms, Lucien, to explain it in detail for you." ”
If Jacob is majesty, then Lucien is favor. Unlike Jacob, fourteen-year-old Lucien was fully grown, but the freckles on his face and the smile on his lips made him look very kind.
Lucien pulled Old Jack on the stage together, he looked at the audience with a smile, and said kindly: "Actually, you don't have to worry too much about the mutant creatures, because the Federation's troops will return here in about a week, and the Federation will subsidize everyone's losses in this battle." Of course, I understand your concerns, and if you have a choice, you can also flee, but ......"
Old Jack had already drunk some wine brought by Lucien at the dinner just now, this kind of delicacy that he hadn't encountered for decades made his brain a little dizzy, seeing Lucian's appearance of wanting to speak and stopping, Old Jack hurriedly added: "A few knights and I have analyzed just now, the scale of the mutant creatures this time is not too large, with the combat power of a few adults, it can definitely drag the arrival of a large army, and, think about it, if we escape, what will happen to our land? What about our homeland?" Are we going to become homeless beggars and go to the big city to beg?"
The homeland is difficult to leave, and the attachment to the land is deeply engraved in the hearts of the villagers, and Old Jack's words make the villagers fall silent.
Lucien was satisfied to see that Old Jack could recite him fluently, and after seeing Old Jack finish speaking, Lucian immediately followed and said: "Actually, don't worry about the future, we have decided to recruit soldiers and strong men in the village, of course, this kind of thing will not be done in vain, we will provide you with a good reward......
Money!
-- And it's a lot of money.
These poor and uninformed villagers quickly turned their attention to "a lot of money", and Lilian and the others on the side looked at each other and smiled.
"This Lucien, the psychological grasp of these farmers is still very accurate, and it is estimated that they were sold, and these villagers themselves don't know. Feller laughed.
Hearing this, Lillian shook her head and said, "You're wrong, Phil. Lucien is not a conspiracy, this is a conspiracy, and if it is a conspiracy, he will resort to force and will overwhelm the minimum. And now Lucien has paid enough money for these villagers to immigrate to the big city and live a new life in the future. As long as these villagers still have a little ideal in their hearts, they will not give up such hope. ”
Lillian looked at Lucien on the stage, and her heart fell into deep thought.
Lucian, are you telling me that you have found hope?
Lucian, I hope you don't let me down.
Under the vast sky, Lucian's figure, although weak, was unusually tall.
.........
After the goal is defined, the hearts and minds of the people are bought with money, the grievances are suppressed by force, and then the regulations of rewards and punishments are promulgated, and the hierarchical relationship between the upper and lower levels is finally determined, then the rudiments of an organization are established.
In order to complete the task, Lucien and his party brought more than ten carriages, which contained weapons, potions, medicinal materials and other items, all of which were exchanged by Lucien and his party in the academy in order to complete the task.
Early the next morning, after observing the terrain of Farrow Village, Lucien and the others felt that it was too difficult to stick to this flat village road, so Lillian took Phile and Math to explore the terrain, hoping to find a suitable terrain nearby.
Although the mutant creatures were released today, it would take several days for them to arrive here, so there was still some time for Lucien and his party to prepare.
As for the reinforcements or something, they were just empty words to comfort this group of villagers.
However, there is one point, the money given is real money, which has not wavered at Lucian's insistence. Giving hope to anyone at the bottom is the bottom line that Lucien has always adhered to.
Lillian went out with the Brothers Grimm and Maze, while Phil trained the villagers while Lucien stayed in the village, helping Amy with potions and finding maps hidden in the village.
Amy is now concocting a potion called "mist", the main effect is to remove the smell of people, Lucien and the others have no intention of fighting the mutant creatures to the end, if the mutant creatures can't find them, it is the best result.
A raging fire burned under the cauldron, and Lucien followed Amy's command and became a porter.
"100 standard parts of poisonous weed mushrooms, 75 standard parts of four-legged poisonous frog feet, 45 standard parts of vampire bat wings, 12 standard parts of weeping grass ......"
Amy's attainments in pharmacy are very profound, and her method of refining potions is already at the peak level among the students of the outer court, so the process of blending is very smooth.
"I can do the rest of the work alone, Lucian, you go about your business. After finishing her focused work, Amy immediately noticed that Lucien was beside her, blushed again, and busily chased Lucien away.
Lucien looked at Amy's shy cheeks, remembered the weird song she sang that night, and was a little unsure which was the real Amy.
This family is really weirder than the other.
However, Lucien still said without moving: "Then I'll go find the map, you can call me if you have something." ”
"Hmm!"
Leaving Amy, Lucien began to wander around the village.
The clues of the map are in the puzzle, and it is not difficult to say,
The whole sentence of the puzzle is: the map is hidden, and the light of the sun god is used to measure infinity.
The puzzle is very simple, the light of the sun god is the sun's rays, and infinity refers to time, which together is a riddle - the sundial, a timekeeping instrument that measures time with the shadow of the sun, so logically speaking, the map should be hidden near the sundial.
But Lucien walked around the village and found no timekeeping tools resembling a sundial.
It seemed that it was necessary to find a local to inquire about the situation, and thinking of this, Lucien, who was sitting on the sand dunes resting, beckoned and called the girl in the distance who had met in the field at the beginning.
Seeing the little girl running over, Lucien showed a kind smile on his face and said, "What's your name?" ”
"My name is Vivien, Lord Knight. ”
