Medieval Reiki Revival

The Innsmouth River is a large inland river in Pilsen. The upper reaches are the Taipra Vltava River and the Studena Vltava River in the Bohemian Forest. Basically, a small half of the city's population is It ate by the Innsmouth River.

But this situation has changed a few months ago. Some people who rely on water for food have lost their jobs. Many people who sensed the danger left here with their families. The whole city has become depressed at a speed visible to the naked eye. .

When Ivan was a Pilsen, he found that everyone in the city was downcast.

They are very wary of outsiders.

Everyone was talking in low voices, but when they saw Ivan approaching, they closed their mouths tacitly.

"They're terrified of me."

Ivan withdrew his gaze: "No, they are afraid of outsiders. According to the news I received before, there seem to be murlocs in Pilsen. Could it be that these murlocs are related to outsiders."

He didn't rush to inquire about the information, instead he found a hotel to stay in normally.

There were a few rags of batik printing outside the hotel, and several gypsies were talking to the rags, and when the ceremony was almost over, they left a pendant with tassels to the hotel owner.

The innkeeper was very grateful, and took out a bag of money from his pocket to give them.

Seeing how he gritted his teeth and felt distressed, it is probably not a small sum.

Ivan didn't go until the gypsy left.

"Boss, I want to stay in a hotel."

Unlike other residents in the city, the innkeeper is open for business after all, so he must not be as indifferent to strangers as other residents.

The boss came over and enthusiastically led the way: "Sir, how long do you plan to stay?"

"A week or so ago, I met a friend here. I heard that the jewelry here is very beautiful. I plan to look for some samples. It would be great if I could bring it to my hometown for sale."

"You came at the wrong time, the workshop for making garnets has closed down."

The blood-red garnet is an authoritative local specialty. The red bloodstone is soaked with dense luster. The local people believe that it has the special effect of boosting blood and strengthening the heart. It is most suitable for women who are weak and chilly.

The boss explained: "That is the largest ruby ​​workshop in our place. It was all gone last week, and even the gems inside were looted by others."

"Who has the guts to rob the workshop?"

The boss smiled wryly: "Who else is there, those gypsies."

"In the past, the mayor or the governor was the boss of Pilsen, but now the gypsies are the boss. They run amok and like to blackmail the residents. Fortunately, they all live around the Innsmouth River. You basically go out. Can't touch it."

Ivan thought: "No wonder Carmen went directly to Innsmouth."

The room has arrived.

The room here is huge.

One berth, two desks, three tapestries.

Two elegant oil paintings.

According to the money Ivan paid, he would not be able to live in such a high-class room. The murloc incident had seriously affected Pilsen's economy. The boss hoped that his super-standard treatment would allow this distinguished guest to stay for a few more days.

"The deposit is 5 gold lang."

Fortunately, Jinlang is accepted here, otherwise Ivan would have to exchange currency.

Ivan wanted to chat with the boss for a while, but he seemed to have other things to do, so he left in a hurry, but he was still holding the jewelry given by the gypsy when he left.

"What should we do?"

A faint sigh.

When Ivan came out of the hotel, he saw a beggar near the door of the shop.

The face is sad, and the body is not dirty.

Ivan looked curiously and found that he also had gypsy jewelry in his hand.

Ivan turned his mind around, and he said in a roundabout way: "Excuse me, do you sell what you have?"

The beggar looked stiff: "You mean the things in my hand."

"Yes, I am willing to offer ten gold coins."

"If it was a month ago, I would have sold it to you without hesitation, but now this is something I have exchanged for all my property. Unless I want money or my life, I will never give it to you."

"Ten gold coins is not a small amount, unless you feel that if you take this money, you will die."

The beggar touched his arm with one hand and shivered.

Ivan turned around: "But I'm very curious about how you bought this jewelry. If you are willing to tell me the whole cause and effect, then I can give you one of these ten gold coins."

"Really, well, don't lie to me."

"You have nothing to lie to, how about finding a place to eat and chat."

Inside the room, the beggar devoured a lot of things on the table. He stuffed bread and meat into his mouth as much as possible, for fear that Ivan would repent.

"Okay, now you should tell me something."

The beggar nodded hurriedly.

Ivan already knew some things about the murlocs through some channels, but this beggar named Michael knew more. He was a local resident and used to be a mine worker. Later, the murlocs attacked there. He lost his job.

Michael had seen murlocs with his own eyes, they were ugly and disgusting.

The upper body of the murloc was slippery and full of mucus, but at the same time, they were taller and bigger, and their arms could bend a shovel.

Moreover, there are a lot of murlocs, and they like to go all out.

"Where do they live?"

"In the Innsmouth River, this lake is very big. I don't know how many murlocs there are."

Michael coughed up the vegetables in his throat, he wiped his mouth, his eyes were bright and healthy, at this time Ivan saw a kind of unwilling anger reflected in those pupils, their conversation seemed to wake up the young man Enraged.

In addition to the above incident, Michael also told Ivan that there was no one near the Innsmouth River.

Only the gypsies still live there now.

It is said that they made a deal with the murlocs in the river.

Murlocs will not harm them.

But there may be a price of some kind.

Ivan prepared: "What price?"

Michael shook his head: "I don't know, but I know that the purpose of those murlocs is not so simple. The gypsies use his relationship to extort financial reports from the residents of the entire city. It is this kind of amulet. If there is no amulet, then say at night. It might be attacked by murlocs."

"Since you have money to buy lucky charms, why don't you get out of here?"

Michael sneered: "The most convenient way to leave Pilsen is by water, which is gone now. As for leaving here by land, it is simply not affordable for ordinary people."

"There are still a lot of people left in Pilsen, can't these people afford it?"

"Some of them have never seen a murloc, and some of them are lucky. There are also many like me who spend a lot of money to buy amulets."

"Actually, some murlocs will pretend to be humans, and they hide in Devil's Reef."

Next, Ivan asked him when the murlocs would appear.

Michael said that he would see them when he wandered by the lake at night, and sometimes murlocs would break into residential areas, but they didn't seem to like land very much, and generally speaking, they didn't stay for a long time.

As for the relationship between gypsies and murlocs.

In his mouth, it is a bit like the relationship between the dark wizard and the devil in fairy tales.

Gypsies extort money and work for murlocs.

Unexpectedly, there will be a large-scale sacrifice in a few days, which is dedicated to the murlocs.
