Krafft's Anomaly Notes

Chapter 149 Inspiration from the Flintfire
"So this is where the gold coin is painted?" Cooper asked uncertainly.He only remembered mentioning once, when talking about the gold coins, that it was a bit difficult to connect the somewhat abstract pattern with the complex fortress he was in.

"Yes, and I remember you asked once yesterday." Kraft answered while lifting the wooden scroll-like item onto the table, which was handed to him by Wilbert after a night of hard work. It was delivered at the same time as two kitchen menus and a list of interviewees, "Temporary spot check, how do you spell the castle?"

"what?"

Unprepared, Kupp was caught off guard.Since leaving Port of Comfort, Kraft's strictness in homework has become increasingly difficult to resist, and spot checks are pervasive. Who would have expected that an encounter would be triggered as soon as he opened his mouth.

And Yvonne, who seemed not to notice this side and had been bowing his head to read silently, quickly raised his head and raised his hand to attract Kraft's attention.

However, she probably wasn't prepared enough, and she struggled to get the spelling together, and even missed a letter.Kupp was prompted, and later posted the correct answer.

"It can be more detailed, it's still very good." Kraft thought for a while, just about to clear the table, so he handed the fruit plate to Yvonne, "The winner takes all, today's fruit belongs to you."

Encouraged by her small victory, she happily took the plate, showing a rare smile that was less sweet than the sweetness of wild blueberries, and returned the plate to Kraft after taking a ripe orange.

It's rare, the last time I saw Yvonne showing a clear happy mood, it seemed like she was playing with a rusty dagger that she hadn't lost yet.As a self-proclaimed half-guardian, I always feel that this child is good at everything, motivated and sensible, but a little... introverted.

According to someone's only surviving educational knowledge, psychological guidance to children should focus on affirming and positively motivating correct behavior.

In the confusion of Kupp questioning the fairness and legitimacy of the game, Kraft gave him a look of "Are you embarrassed to compare with children?", pulled out one end of the scroll and handed it to him, "Help me hold that side, thank you. This It doesn’t seem too small, what exactly is it?”

The wooden scroll rolls away on the table, revealing the contents inside, roughly an oval drawing around a blue line.

The title just above reveals its identity - a map of the Westminster region.

This somewhat puzzled Kraft.There is a black line on it that is consistent with the ink on other papers. It starts from the place where the fortress pattern is in the middle, goes around half of the map, passes through a series of marked points with or without names, and then circles back to the fortress.

"What does this mean?" Kraft flipped through the list and the menu, and finally found the source on the last piece of paper that listed more than ten place names and notes.

Seems like a travel route?
It is mentioned in the remarks that the duke does not live in the castle all year round, and routinely visits the territory directly under him, and goes to the countryside to spend some leisure time along the way.

This directly declared Kraft's retroactive environmental plan bankrupt. During the period from winter to early spring three months ago, patients were running around all over the territory.Tuberculosis did not prevent him from wandering from one settlement to another in a carriage, and the furthest he traveled was a logging estate on the edge of the forest.

With the current progress, although the Duke has lasted so long and won't die within a month, even if Kraft is given wings, it is not enough for him to fly this line once.

"Sigh." He let out a helpless sigh, opened the Duke's menu, and browsed through it roughly.

The degree of overlap with the banquet is quite high, but as a daily diet, the categories are reduced each time, but the overall richness is increased.

Single-meat birds include golden pheasants, teals, sparrows, swans, and even peacocks.The last two items are also indicated to be served only in small gatherings.Fish generally appear on the table as a side dish and accompaniment, except for a grilled dolphin that challenged imagination as a main course.

In addition to common pigs and cattle, beasts include rabbit meat, bear meat, and horse meat.The part selection shows a high degree of openness, including legs, spine, head, tail, heart, liver and even another tail.

Benefiting from the local natural environment, the vegetarian dishes have not lost a page. It is common practice to add fruit to the meat to reconcile the greasy, and there is even food such as apple broth that hits the soul of the other world.In contrast, the cooking with various fungi is much more normal. Even the mushroom sweet pie is not unacceptable, and the raw white-bellied mushroom dipping sauce is just right.

In the brain-upgraded reading experience, the consciousness drifts over the outrageous dishes one by one, and gradually gives up understanding.

But this explains why the Duke was still able to wander around before. With this appetite and a protein-rich diet, it was no accident that he survived the tuberculosis, and it was no fluke to survive the bloodletting.If it weren't for the new condition, the general condition would be very suitable for treatment.

Messy and unimaginable recipes are intertwined in consciousness.Considering the standard view, there are too many risk factors, especially meat from various sources, but none of them fit the existing clues.

A lot of information is scattered into the mind, like particles in Brownian motion scurrying in the mind, colliding or passing by randomly, forming effective or invalid combination results.

They collide with those regular and orderly specialized knowledge, and are accompanied by the abnormal lesions seen by the spiritual senses.

It is impossible to know whether these contents are driven by oneself, or wandering outside the frame of thought out of control, creating some contents that cannot be reached by consciousness, and then feed back to itself with some kind of revelation.Something like intuition guides him, from which he discovers...

【inspiration】

For no reason, Kraft felt that there was a direction in his hand, that there was the end of the thread he wanted in this ball of wool, but he would not be able to find it for a while.

For this reason, he needs more information and brings more inspiration. Those information may be below, just go to the next step...

"Boom boom boom!"

A knock on the door interrupted his thinking, and Martin's voice came from outside the door, "Professor Kraft, good day."

"I'm sorry to bother you. I know that everyone is busy with the Duke's affairs, but this news makes me feel...huh?"

The Duke's knight pushed open the door and found that Kraft was bent over a few pieces of paper without saying a word, while one of the two attendants was leaning on the edge of the table and almost fell asleep, while the other was flipping through the pamphlet in a low voice, apparently maintaining their own business The condition has improved for a while.

"Oh, Knight Martin, please tell me." Kraft swept away the pages he had written down, and sat back on his chair with a slightly dazed expression. These were all in line with Martin's impression of those academics who were always immersed in their own world .

"If you don't have any necessary activities recently, it's best not to leave Westminster." He was still wearing the armor he had yesterday, but he had changed into a burqa, and he wore an armed helmet with blue-dyed feathers under his armpit.

"what happened?"

"We went to the servant's residence, and the neighbor said that he has shown a special interest in the church recently, and often goes out to participate in the assembly and pray." Martin watched Kraft seriously, and the latter immediately understood what he meant.

The uncooled thinking started to work again, putting more weight into the new information, and he grasped a factor that seemed to have nothing to do with it.

"Martin, when did the paganism you mentioned recently active in the land of Westminster start its activities?"

……

Some sort of inspiration, indeed, but the intuition is still whispering, it's not the original "inspiration".
