Chapter 351 Abnormal beast disaster

"Roland, look, our current home is in front of us.

We originally lived on the street side of the market, but thanks to Lord Howlis's help and the help of everyone from the Chamber of Commerce, we moved to the big house here. They are all warm-hearted and good people. "

His predecessor's father, Old Horry, held Roland's hand and took him home happily. As he walked, he pointed to the big house in front and introduced him.

"It's all as it should be, as it should be."

Everyone was laughing and chiming in a word or two from time to time.

Ever since Roland became famous, Old Horry's family has been blessed with good luck, and all they meet are kind people who are eager to help.

They only spent some gold coins to buy large fields around the town, as well as houses with street shops in the center of the town.

After Roland took charge of East Lena Mage Tower, his old father accidentally complained that the house facing the street was a bit noisy, so he moved out of Halls' house and lived in another quieter noble mansion with the help of enthusiastic people. .

This is the hometown of a Viscount in the territory of Larus.

His family has declined, and the descendants have moved elsewhere, so he might as well just be a favor.

In addition, Roland's brother Halls also runs a tavern in the town that requires both black and white food to be opened. He even serves as a director of the local Adventurer's Guild, and he is already a leader among the local squires. Successful people.

The wonderful thing about these things is that there are always people who do good deeds without leaving their names, without expecting anything in return, and just help to get them done quietly. What matters is that they are gentle and gentle.

What a simple and honest Larousse who is willing to help others in Baisong Town!

Roland learned from Old Horry's excited introduction that in order to renovate this aristocratic mansion, the Larousse officials also allocated funds to pave bridges and build roads, opening up local trade routes to many major cities in the south.

These investments have greatly developed the commercial value of the town.

Not only did the transport fleets of several forest farms and mines pass through here, but even several large chambers of commerce rushed to set up strongholds in the town, open shops, and use this place as a warehouse even if it was nearby, radiating to many surrounding towns and cities. Business.

Over time, small traders from all over the country gathered, driving the development of more industries.

Even in the aristocratic circles of many surrounding kingdoms, some new hobbies based on local specialties have become popular. When building a house, the white pine wood, a specialty of Baisong Town, has become popular.

This small town was able to visibly prosper in just a few years.

What Roland sees now is a new atmosphere that can be said to be a harmonious government and prosperous business.

"I vaguely remember that when I was young, I only had the opportunity to come to the town every time I went to the market. At that time, even here there were still mud roads, far from being so prosperous and lively."

Roland searched for the memories in his mind and sighed sincerely.

No wonder people say that if they become successful, they will benefit not only themselves but also their fellow villagers.

Atali was equally emotional.

She hasn't been back to her hometown very often over the years, and every time it's a completely different place.

She knew who the nobles led by Larus were trying their best to please, and she couldn't help but cast her sights on Roland.

But he saw that Roland also seemed to have a tacit understanding and looked over: "Atali, your home is nearby, right? I'll give you a day off and go back to accompany Sir Morisson.

Everyone has worked hard, so please go and have some rest. I will invite you all to share lunch at noon tomorrow. "

Everyone agreed, leaving space for Roland and his family to be alone.

On this day, Roland had a good reunion with his predecessor's family in Baisong Town, and he was able to settle his worries.

Starting from the next day, he met with everyone from Baisong Town and Larus.

The old dean of the local college, the low-level mage stationed in the town, the envoy of the Adventurer's Guild, and the heads of major chambers of commerce.

It is worth mentioning that the local Mages Guild already has several trainee members who have passed the Level [-] exam and can speak to him fluently in Seris.

It is not difficult to understand. The reason why Roland won the Arcane Star Award lies in the Seris language.

Baisong Town, Yourongyan, and even the entire Larus Territory are vigorously promoting related education.

Nowadays, there are many ordinary people who can reach the first and second level, and they can communicate in daily spoken English. Civil servants, nobles and scholars, etc., can even reach the third or fourth level.

Even the youngest son "Robin" who was born to Halls in the past few years did not recognize Roland. When he tugged at the corner of his clothes and curiously asked where his uncle came from, he also used correct words and phrases. Lysian.

This is the credit of the tutor.

The Halls family had no success and no reputation, but they were able to hire a third-level mage-level tutor.

Just because the other party was an informal member of the joint research group and assigned to a small guild in a remote rural area and had nothing else to do, he was very happy to serve the leader's family.

What Roland didn't know was that this "opportunity" was obtained by a few people who fought openly and secretly to finally win.

Roland became very interested and wrote a poem:
  "When I was young, I left home and my boss returned. My local pronunciation has not changed and my hair on my temples has faded.

Children who don't recognize each other laugh and ask where the guest is from. "

Everyone was stunned. Regardless of whether they understood or not, they clapped their hands and praised him.

"The poetry of Siris is so wonderful!"

Atali stared at Roland in confusion. This guy's hair wasn't white either. Where was his hair on his temples?
  Literary people really dare to talk about anything just to rhyme!

……

That afternoon, Roland made a special trip to Morrison's home to visit Atali's injured brother Theda.

When the other party learned that Roland had arrived, he was so shocked that he stood up regardless of the wooden boards still tied to his legs.

"Luo...Sir Roland!"

"Brother Xida, there is no need to be polite. Sit down and talk."

Roland quickly supported him and said.

In fact, he had no friendship with the other party at all. This was entirely to give Atali face.

After some consolation, Roland casually asked about the current situation of the town, but Xida said excitedly: "The beasts we encountered are very strange, and there may be some special power behind them.

Mr. Roland, please be sure to send experts into the mountain to investigate and find out the whole story. "

Everyone looked a little strange after hearing this.

Mr. Roland went back to his hometown to visit relatives, and he didn't specialize in dealing with these trivial matters. Why should he dump all the troublesome things in front of him and ruin his good mood for no reason?
  Let's all have fun with Hemeimei. Wouldn't you like to spend this holiday to the fullest?
  And if you say this, doesn't it mean that you are the only one who is worried about your hometown and is proactive and serious, while everyone else is perfunctory?

Seada, Seada, you are so ignorant!

But since he has already mentioned this matter, it is impossible for the people who followed him to pretend that nothing happened.

A member of the local Mages Guild explained: "Beast disasters are not uncommon in the first place. After the number of monsters in the mountains increased sharply, food was scarce. Some of them were born with intelligence, so they tried to drive the beasts to places where humans live. , killing the same kind with the help of human beings, and making a profit." Roland said: "I have read about this in the book. Logically speaking, it won't be too big."

Xida said: "It's the abyss! The power of the abyss has infected those beasts!"

"Oh?" Roland looked surprised, and others were also moved.

"Xida, I have said several times that if the abyss's demonic energy infects the beasts, it will not be a beast disaster, but a demon disaster! If that is the case, the scale will be much larger than it is now!
  Moreover, if the abyssal legions you encountered were really infected by the abyss's demonic energy, would it be so easy to escape with your life? "

A guild member said with some dissatisfaction.

If this really was a demonic disaster and they didn't report it, wouldn't it seem like they were derelict in their duties?

"But..." Xida was speechless, "Those monsters in the forest are really unusual.

They even know how to take away the corpses of their fallen comrades and prevent us from bringing them back for dissection and study! "

"It may also be affected by other factors. The earth veins in the deep mountains are complicated and there are many magical beasts. It is not surprising that some mutations occasionally appear.

Moreover, while you were recuperating, we also sent people to investigate the place where you were attacked, but nothing was found. "

"Sida, Sida, we are also very sad that your team members were killed and sacrificed, but if someone was killed and sacrificed, should we just leave everything behind and go deep into the forest to avenge them?
  Do you know how many supplies are prepared for a dispatch, and how many spell props and magic materials are mobilized? "

"You are a wounded person now. You should rest peacefully and recover and strive to recover as soon as possible."

"According to the usual rules, the herds of beasts will not invade on a large scale until autumn or winter arrives. Then you will naturally have a chance to show off."

"As for what you said about Warcraft taking away the bodies of their comrades who died in battle... These days, even man-bears who are not Warcraft will trick people into eating them on foggy days. There are also some highly intelligent beasts among ordinary beasts, so there is no need. What a fuss.”

"Yes, those beasts are just here for a bite to eat. How can there be so many conspiracies and tricks?"

Hearing this, Xida gradually became sad.

Roland felt slightly moved after hearing this. After leaving the room, he asked in a low voice what was going on.

Someone replied: "Lord Roland didn't know something. Xida led several people from the security team into the mountain to investigate. As a result, two of the five people died and three were injured. Fortunately, they met another team and were able to survive..."

In front of Atali and Morrison, he didn't speak too clearly, but Roland understood.

The local mages' guild and militia suspected that Theda was deliberately exaggerating in order to avoid the direct responsibility of the squad leader.

In fact, it was an ordinary animal disaster. They were not well trained, not alert enough, or made mistakes in their decision-making at the last moment, so they were accidentally injured and bled, resulting in casualties.

Only by exaggerating the enemies you encounter will you not appear so incompetent.

Everyone was from the local area, and seeing that he was indeed injured and bleeding, no one wanted to hold him accountable. They just hoped that he could recover from his injuries in peace and cooperate with the militia organizations in the towns to resist the next animal disaster.

But he didn't expect it, and he was still clamoring for something to continue exploring.

No one has the time to pay attention.

Preventing animal disasters is a well-established matter. Now that the autumn harvest is approaching, there is no way to organize a large amount of manpower and material resources.

"I think Brother Xida is very precise in what he says. It's impossible to just talk nonsense. However, you do have your difficulties..."

Roland concluded in a leadership style.

Everyone listened and complained secretly.

It is true that listening to your words is better than just one word.

But then Roland said: "Let my security team members, Wind Eagle Knight Michus, and Silver Wolf Knight Wolft go have a look around."

Everyone was slightly startled, and then suddenly realized.

This is what Mr. Roland wants to show in front of Atali.

Then following Xida's words to investigate is not a boring and unnecessary thing, but a serious task.

Then Roland summoned Michus and Wolft and gave them some instructions.

This was not their duty originally. Since Roland had given the order and it concerned his colleague Atali, it was impossible for him to seriously refuse.

After thinking about it, I decided to take a trip into the mountains under the leadership of a local guide.

As a result, what no one expected was that when the sun was about to set, they actually brought back a special monster corpse.

"Is this an ordinary gray wolf? Why does it look like it has been dead for a long time?"

This is a large gray wolf carcass that is much larger than an ordinary gray wolf and has a faint rancid smell.

It looked like it had been dead for several days, and the flesh and blood on its body had begun to rot, but it seemed to have been affected by some force, making its skin rough and fleshy, and its muscles and bones solid.

This is very reminiscent of advanced zombies with copper skin and iron bones.

In the world of magic, zombies, ghosts and the like belong to the undead family, also known as "undead creatures".

In folklore, the dead who died unjustly crawled out of the soil to seek revenge on the living.

But arcane magic breaks down the feudal superstition and tells everyone that it is part of the necromancy magic, which is created by the former creatures being activated by spiritual or supernatural forces after their death.

Roland stepped forward and knocked with his staff. Sure enough, he felt that the other party's body was hard and not like an ordinary rotting corpse.

"Your Excellency, we have checked with the magic card "Detect Undead". This is indeed an undead creature created by necromancy magic. "

Seeing this, Michus reminded him in a low voice.

"Looking at it like this, it's very likely that there are one or more necromancers hiding nearby, secretly using the beast disaster to build an army!"

"If we don't get rid of these evil villains, they will become a big problem!"

Roland sighed.

If he had some intention of using Atali's official weapon for personal use before, now that he has discovered the signs of the Necromancer's existence, he has to really take it seriously.

"According to the Atrein Arcane Law, any unit or individual who studies forbidden magic such as necromancy, abyss magic, etc. should register in time and bear their own responsibility...

But as far as I know, the surrounding areas of White Pine Town and even the entire Larus Territory do not have the conditions for forbidden experiments. The undead creatures that appear here must be illegally produced.

As an alternate member, I cannot ignore things like this. "

At that moment, I personally wrote several warrants, stamped them with secret seals, and sent them to the mages' guilds in major nearby cities.

In addition, he also sent a recruitment order to the mage legion stationed in Angmor, the capital of Larus, intending to mobilize experts in corresponding subjects to serve.
