Chapter Twenty-Three: The Chestnut Tree Monster, a sawmill outside the city

"Can you tell me what kind of monster it is?" Leon said in the carriage to Qasim, who was sitting across from him.

"It's an infected chestnut tree, as long as you get close to it, a lot of chestnuts will come down from the tree and bite people, I organized a few workers to wear thicker clothes and get close to it, they will be whipped by the roots of the chestnut tree, and they can't get close to it at all. Qasim said.

Li Ang was calm for a while, in fact, he didn't think about anything, it seemed that things were a little difficult, and a gold coin was not a hundred flowers.

"I've dealt with a similar infected monster, it's supposed to be an animated tree, what if the materials for this tree belong to me then?"

When Qasim heard this, he immediately replied, "Yes, Section Chief Leon. ”

When he heard that the materials belonged to Li Ang, he knew that the monster could be solved, not to mention that the materials belonged to Li Ang, even if he mentioned some other conditions, he would agree, but he didn't expect that Li Ang just asked for the materials of the monster tree.

Qasim opened the drawer in the carriage, took out some pastries, and said, "Chief Leon, you haven't eaten dinner yet, let's eat some pastries first, and then I'll be able to entertain you well when I get to my manor outside the city." ”

"Good!" Leon took some pastries and ate them, he was indeed a little hungry.

"It tastes good. Leon said after eating a few pieces, swallowing the pastry in his mouth.

"It's made with almonds and cream and eggs, flour and rice flour, if you like it, I'll ask the chef to make more and you'll be able to eat it when you come back tomorrow." Qasim said.

"Thank you, but you can't eat too much of this kind of thing, it's better to eat it once. Leon said.

There is no meat in such pastries, and there are many fats and materials, and they will be very expensive, and Leon doesn't want superfluous things, so he can go to the bakery and buy them if he likes to eat.

Ten minutes later, the carriage arrived at the arrest hall.

Li Ang got out of the carriage and walked into the arrest hall, and the night guard guarding the door said, "Section Chief Li Ang." ”

"Yes, I'll get something. Leon said.

He went straight to the warehouse in the basement, and there were also people on duty in the arrest hall at night, and Li Ang greeted several people on duty.

"Tuk tuk!" Leon knocked on the door of the warehouse.

The door of the warehouse opened, and a middle-aged man with thinning hair walked out, his face was a little confused, and he showed a smile after seeing that it was Li Ang: "Section Chief Li Ang, do you have a task at night?"

Leon said, "It's you, Seth. My friend has an infected monster in a sawmill outside the city that needs me to deal with it and come and get a weapon. ”

Seth said, "Yes, Chief Li Ang, what do you think you need?"

Leon said, "Get me an axe." ”

Seth said, "Okay, Section Chief Li Ang, please sign this piece of paper." ”

After signing the letter, Leon walked out of the warehouse with an axe.

This axe is used to cut trees, and the weapons in the inspection hall are of high quality, and this axe is also mixed with some alloys, which is very hard.

"Mr. Qasim, I have already agreed with the people in the Arrest Department, if I don't come back tomorrow, it won't affect my work, let's go. Leon deliberately said one more word.

He didn't come to the arrest hall to get weapons, he had been here once, and if Kassym had any bad thoughts, he could put them away, and he had to guard against people.

"It's really troublesome Section Chief Li Ang. Qasim said with a smile.

"Don't bother, I also received the gold coins. Li Ang also said with a smile.

"We are in business thanks to your protection to be so stable, otherwise it would be nice not to lose money. Qasim said.

Li Ang also complimented: "You are not afraid of monsters to do business, so that the city prospered, and the peasants and workers also had work. ”

......

It's a long way to the sawmill outside the city, and Qasim is a furniture merchant, and he can always talk to Leon's heart, and he is not too boring along the way.

When the carriage reached the outside of the city, it was dark, and the road was bumpy, and neither of them was talking.

When Leon was about to fall asleep, the coachman said, "Mr. Qasim, the sawmill has arrived. ”

When Kasim and Leon heard this, they both became energetic, and although they were sitting in the carriage, they were also quite tired, and their butts were about to hurt.

When the coachman stopped the carriage, he lifted the curtain, and both Leon and Qasim dismounted.

The sawmill was in a wasteland, and there was a large forest behind the wasteland, and by the evening moonlight I could only look at a black tree, and I don't know what it was.

It was pitch black inside the sawmill, but there were a few tents outside, and a little light was leaking.

Qasim said: "Chief Leon, now that the sawmill can't be entered, a lot of chestnuts will pounce and bite people when they get close. ”

Leon looked at it and said, "I'll take a look later." ”

A man came running from a distance, looking a little fat, wearing overalls, and bent slightly to Qasim and said, "Sir, you are back." ”

Qasim stepped forward, patted him on the shoulder with both hands, and said, "Hamid, you have worked hard. ”

When Hamid heard it, he said movingly: "Master, I don't work hard, it's all I should do." ”

Qasim said, "Hamid, tell me how the situation is now, and how many workers are left. ”

"There are still 32 workers left, and a few more ran away after you left, and they said they were worried about the monster," Hamid said. ”

Qasim said: "They are all ignorant people, and in the future, our sawmill will not recruit those who have run away, and the rest of the workers will each be rewarded with 50 copper coins, Hamid, you are 1 silver coin." ”

Hamid stooped down and said, "Thank you so much, merciful lord, for your generosity is beyond my words. ”

Qasim smiled and said, "I have hired a section chief in the city who can deal with monsters, and told the workers not to worry, they are all ready, our sawmill is going to be recaptured." ”

"This is Lord Leon, he looks so young. Hamid glanced at Leon and thought to himself.

Hamid walked towards the tent and shouted loudly, "Guys, get up, my lord has brought in Lord Leon, who can handle monsters, and our sawmill will be recaptured." ”

One by one, the workers came out of their tents and looked at Hamid.

"Foreman Hamid, can you really kill that chestnut tree monster?" asked one of the workers.

Hamid said: "Surely, this is the lord who went to the city today, and there is good news, the lord said that the workers who left will not come back." ”

"That's some good news, I thought Master Qasim was going to give us a few more copper coins. A worker muttered.

"What do you want to do good? How can you be given more copper coins, and if you don't work for a few days, maybe you will deduct copper coins. ”

Hamid waved his hand and said, "This time you are right, the master said, each of you who stays will be rewarded with 50 copper coins." ”

"Long live Lord Qasim!"

"Thank you, merciful Lord Qasim!"

“......”

When the workers heard this, they all excitedly said words of thanks.
