From pioneer lord to king

Chapter 81 Emergencies
Seeing Hevian's seriousness, Ryan put away his joking thoughts and said, "What's the matter, is it a construction problem?"

Hevian nodded and said: "It's a problem with the cemetery. This evening, when the person in charge of the cemetery was finishing work, a slave was attacked by an unknown creature while washing his hands by the Linton River. He was bitten from the neck. broken.

The people in the company said that they saw a black shadow in the water, and that person's head was bitten off in just an instant, very fast. "

Drey touched his chin and said, "Could it be an attack from a water demon or a monster?"

"Has anyone else been attacked? Did you see what it was like?" Ryan's thinking was a little different from Dreyer's. Although the Linton River was not small, he had never heard of water monsters and monsters. It can't just appear out of nowhere, right?
"The man was quite frightened. I had asked carefully before coming here. It was just a fleeting black shadow. I didn't see anything else. There was no report of anyone being attacked."

Hevian spread his hands, and he was helpless in this situation, so he came to ask Ryan for help.

"Could it be that the people in the same company committed the murder? After all, there are no other witnesses." Hans just came over to get a drink at this time, and stopped to listen for a while.

"It's unlikely. I've found someone to look at it. The man's wound has obvious marks of sharp teeth biting, and it doesn't seem to be caused by manpower."

Hevian shook his head. He has always been considerate in his work. If it weren't for his helplessness, he would never have come to Ryan.

"Tomorrow, I'll take a team to see it myself. It might be a single monster or something. Don't get close to it." Hans took over the job without hesitation. After the last battle, he broke through the confusion for a long time. The bottleneck has broken through to the middle-level knights, and there is no problem dealing with ordinary monsters.

"That's the only way to go." Hevian agreed helplessly, and there was no better way than this.

"Okay, don't be frowning. It's a coincidence that you came here. The stewed food in the kitchen is almost ready. Sit down and have a few drinks with us."

Ryan got up and poured wine for Hevian himself, which flattered the latter.

Seeing his panicked and surprised expression, Ryan smiled and said, "You've been so busy these days, you've worked hard, and I should pour you a glass of wine."

After finishing speaking, he turned his eyes to Joel, who was somewhat reserved, and said, "Why did you and Hevian come here again, didn't I tell you to disperse first?"

Hevian got up quickly, and said with some shame: "I met him on the road. He said he was the chef in your castle. He knew I was coming here and he wanted to go with me. I saw that he knew your whereabouts. Didn't pursue much..."

At this moment, he could also see that this person had obviously tricked him, so he couldn't help being confused and brought him in so casually.

Ryan didn't expect Hevian to have such a careless side, so he couldn't help but nodded and said: "You, forget it this time, and pay attention next time, so be careful."

"Let's talk about it, why do you want to lie to people? You must know that it is already a bad intention to deceive officials. I can definitely sentence you to hang."

Ryan didn't scare him at all, that is, when he met him, another nobleman, Joel, would have the rope around his neck.

"I'm not lying. You said that you want me to come to your castle. You want to hire me as the chief chef." Joel immediately knelt on the ground and shouted for grievances.

Ryan thought for a while, and he seemed to have said such a thing, and corrected: "I said that if you have real skills, I will hire you. You haven't proved it yet, so of course it can't be counted. Why isn't it a lie?"

"My lord, I will definitely satisfy you. If you don't believe me, I can prove it to you right now." Joel said confidently.

"Oh, well then, just go and try."

This was just a small episode for everyone, they didn't care, and started chatting.

Among the few, Dreyer had to be considered rich in experience. His footprints covered the west, north, south, and middle regions of the kingdom, which was beyond the reach of everyone present.

In this era of backward transportation development, people's footprints are often limited to the territory or the surrounding territories, and generally do not exceed the scope of a county.

Even Ryan has only learned about this world in books. In fact, he has not traveled many places himself, not even comparable to Allen.

He also listened with relish to Drey's stories of strange customs, strange people and strange things.

The few people stopped drinking and started eating and drinking. The freshly baked bread is the most delicious.

Hevian took a green plant out of nowhere and gnawed it in his mouth. It looked like some kind of tree vine, as thick as two thumbs, with smooth skin. He tore open the green plant with his teeth. The skin reveals the pale green stems inside.

He took a bite of it, chewed it carefully, and ate it with relish.

Ryan looked curiously, can this thing be eaten?

"Mr. Hevian, what is that thing in your hand?" He seemed to have seen this thing when he first came to Kana before, it was everywhere, and it looked like a vine attached to a tree.

"Uh, what do you mean? This is called a green pole. There are also green vines and rattan poles. There is no specific name. They are everywhere in Linton County.

It doesn't seem to affect the growth all year round, and the speed is very fast, which annoys the farmers because they often encroach on the cultivated land, and they have to organize people to cut down on a large scale every early spring.

But it is not useless, it has a lot of water, and it has a sweet taste. It is sweet and juicy when chewed. In the field, people often use it to quench their thirst or to satisfy children's hunger.

I saw it when I came back from the cemetery today, so I brought one back with me. As expected, Hevian has been the village chief for several years, and he knows all these things well. After all, he used to organize people to "cut poles" every spring.

The more Ryan listened, the more weird his face became. This thing is so familiar.

"This thing is a bit new, you can try it for us." Drey has traveled to many places, but he has never heard of such a thing, and he is curious to try it, and Ryan also has the same meaning.

Hevian just tore a section casually, and seeing that they were all interested, he picked up a meat-cutting dagger and cut two sections.

Hans is a local, and he has no interest in this thing for a long time. Moreover, this thing is called a "snack" for the poor in Linton County, which does not fit his status.

The green pole is cold to the touch, and the skin is still stained with some juice from the cutting process, and it has a faint blue color by the light of the fire.

Following Hevian's method, he peeled off the skin and took a bite. The fibers inside were very hard, and it took a bit of effort to bite. The sweetness was not very obvious, far less than the sugarcane in his previous life, but the juice was much richer. Chewing with his upper and lower teeth, squeezed Drain the last bit of juice and spit out the dregs, which is no different from eating sugar cane.

"Isn't this the sugar cane from another world?"
