I, a fallen nobleman, started the farming system

Chapter 16 Lord Lord Will Not Lie To You
Lynn pointed to the window, and Carliss and Farr all looked along.

The powder gradually fell, and they finally saw what was on the windowsill.

Slender white worms wriggled inside the broken wood, making one's scalp tingle.

The moment Karis saw the worm, he took a step back in fear. There were dense worms on the ground before.

He still feels that this is a curse, otherwise why are they all bugs.

There was thought on Farr's face, as if he had thought of something.

Tini breathed a sigh of relief, "My lord, you said the problem is not the curse, but these bugs?"

"Yes!" Lynn nodded.

Tiny fell limply on the ground again, this time he was not frightened, but relieved that his family would not be burned to death.

Before Lin En came here, he wondered what the problem might be, but he didn't expect it to be termites. He had encountered a similar situation when he lived in his hometown in the mountain village.

Termites like wood. As long as there are termites in the home, wooden furniture cannot escape the result of being mothed.

The termites in this world seem to be more powerful, and the damage to wood products is more serious.

However, Lynn was a little puzzled. Farr was a carpenter. Didn't he know termites? Didn't this kind of thing happen before?
Farr finally recalled, "When I was very young, I heard from my father that there is a kind of insect that has a natural restraint on wood, but wherever the insect passes, the wood will become dust, also known as the wood destroyer. "

"Wood Destroyer?" Lin En laughed twice, and had to say, this title is really suitable for termites.

"Thank God, as long as it's not a curse." Fall muttered.

Immediately, he realized that the lord is still around, and immediately said: "Thank you, lord, you helped us find out the problem. Your wisdom is like the sun in the sky, shining on our way forward."

Lynn said: "Burn these bugs to death, by the way, haven't you encountered this kind of bugs before?"

"No." Farr shook his head. "After our family came to Ashes Town, this is the first time I saw this kind of bug. My father is a senior carpenter. He has traveled to many places and only saw it It’s only been a few times, but I didn’t expect it to appear here.”

Lynn was even more puzzled. Termites lived in groups. Once they appeared, it meant that there was at least one termite nest nearby, and they would spread to the surroundings with a crazy growth trend.

They are amazingly destructive to wood, and most of the houses in Ash Town are made of wood.

If the termites were not cleaned up, the entire Ashes Town would be devoured.

"When was the first time furniture was mothed?"

Farr thought for a while, and said uncertainly: "It should be a month ago, I couldn't find the wooden spoon, I only saw a pile of scraps, and then it became more and more serious, and the furniture I beat all turned into pieces. It became like this, but I couldn’t find the reason, and I was afraid that it was a curse, and I didn’t dare to tell others, because there were serfs who were cursed and burned to death by the mayor before.”

Panic, fear, and not wanting to be burned to death, this has led them to keep this matter secret.

It has been so long, Lynn looked up at the house and shook his head slightly.

"What did you do a month ago?" Lynn added, "For example, you went out to pick up some wood, or you dug some soil and put it in your home."

He needs to know the origin of the termites, whether they exist in the town or brought them from outside. The latter is okay, but if it is the former, he can give up the town.

Farr thought about it carefully.

Tini said, "I remember that time when you came back from picking up a piece of wood and said you wanted to make a toy for the child, but the wood disappeared after a few days."

"Didn't you burn it?" Far's tone was a little dissatisfied, "I was thinking of making a wooden horse for my child to play with, and I told her all about it, but the wood was gone, and now I'm still clamoring for it."

"I didn't burn it!" Tiny stomped his feet angrily. "My lord is here. I swear, if it burns, I will hang me."

When Farr saw his wife say this, he scratched his head, "Could it be eaten by bugs, but why didn't I see the broken pieces?"

After listening to their conversation, Lynn could probably be sure that the problem was the piece of wood. As for why there was no debris, maybe they didn't pay special attention to it.

"Where did you get the wood?"

"It's in the forest."

"Take me there tomorrow."

"Ah, my lord, there are monsters in the forest, it's very dangerous."

"Just go and have a look. Besides, you will come back safe and sound." Lynn must know where the termite nest is and get rid of it, otherwise the town will really be rotted into scum.

Faer didn't dare to disobey his lord's order, so he nodded in agreement.

Karis pushed the door to leave, and due to a little more strength, fine powder fell down.

Lynn noticed this and said, "You also have problems with this house, you'd better check it out."

Lynn's figure disappeared into the street, only the voice fell on Farr and Tini's ears.

The two looked at each other, seeing the doubt in their eyes.

"What does the lord mean by this sentence?" Tini asked, she looked at the house, "Is there something wrong with our house?"

Farr shook his head, "How is that possible? When I built the house, I chose the best wood, and I also painted it with insect-proof plant juice. There will never be any problems. The lord may just say it casually."

"But there are bugs in the window sills."

Farr still shook his head, "The wood used for the window sill is ordinary wood, which is different from that of the house. If you don't believe it, then try it. Just like this door, even if soldiers hit it, it can hold up."

As Farr spoke, he slapped the door hard.

Click!

There was a cracking sound, praised by Farr, who believed that there would be absolutely no problem, the door just shattered and fell to the ground with a bang.

There were many bugs falling from it, so frightened that Tini backed up again and again, kept jumping, and jumped onto the chair.

The chair shattered, and Tini was caught off guard and fell directly towards the wall behind.

She hit the wooden wall, and a crack appeared on the wall that Farr thought was absolutely solid, and a large amount of debris fell down, covering Tini's head and face.

Tiny stared at Farr with his head full of debris, and said through gritted teeth, "That's what you said, there will be absolutely no problems. The lord will not lie to us. If he says there is a problem, there must be a problem!"
