My farm does not raise idle dragons

Xiuge scratched his head in embarrassment, "Then I'll bring them back."

Lu Xi sighed and waved his hand, "No, let Marco and Cross go out to look for it later. I have other things to trouble you with."

As he said that, Lu Xi asked about the "painting scroll", but didn't say much about Lihua.

Although Xiuge's identity is very trustworthy and there is no need to worry about betrayal, the fewer people who know about what happened on the farm before, the less trouble Lu Xi will have.

The more you know about the farm, the easier it will be to find something wrong with Lu Xi.

Fortunately, in the previous test, Lu Xi already knew that his identity, except for the last letter about inheriting the farm, had nothing to do with the Porberstein family.

For the Porberstein family, "Miss Lucy" is a completely unfamiliar identity. Even Lord Danoy, who wrote to "Lucy" personally, only had a few contacts with "Lucy" when she was a child.

Arranging for Shuge to become "Lucy"'s knight was Danoy's selfish intention. He did not want anything to happen to the descendants who inherited Lady Charlotte's farm.

On this basis, it was the recognition of the Popstein family. They recognized the value of "Lucy" and agreed to this matter.

Therefore, in Xiuge's case, in addition to his own allegiance and Lord Danoy's care, there was also the interests of the Porberstein family. Lu Xi had to consider these issues.

Xiuge was not stupid, but he had chosen to be loyal to Lu Xi as a knight, and they were naturally close by blood. Even if he knew that Lu Xi had something that he didn't intend to tell him, he just did as Lu Xi said. Didn't think much about it.

"Rubbing scroll? I have it. Miss Lucy, do you want to use it?"

As a member of the Royal Knights, Shuge carries many of the standard tools of the Knights, such as rubbing scrolls.

Because members of the Royal Knights often need to go out to perform various tasks, some are to hunt down certain monsters that harm humans, and some are to deal with dirty things among nobles, among which the preservation of evidence is a very important one. link.

Xiuge not only had rubbing scrolls in his hand, but he also had several kinds of scrolls, including those who took the initiative to rub scrolls and didn't care much about hurting others, and some who were forced to rub certain messages and didn't care about hurting others.

The introduction to rubbing scrolls that Lu Xi saw in the book was actually just the simplest and primitive kind. As time went by, different forms had developed.

Lu Xi naturally chose the least harmful one. Xiuge took out a scroll-like item from his contract package that was a hundred square meters in size, and handed Lu Xi a green-red fruit that was only the size of a thumb.

Like an apple that is half green but not red.

"After eating this Dima fruit, you can reduce the mental pain." Seeing Lu Xi choose the one with the least damage, Xiuge knew that this was not to torture the enemy.

Then the attitude was very clear, so he wisely took out the fruit of their Royal Knights, which can reduce pain. Although it has no recovery effect, it is good to not feel pain.

Lu Xi accepted it without any politeness, called Li Hua, handed the thing to her, and told her how to use it, without avoiding Xiuge in the process.

Xiuge knew what Lu Xi was going to do from the time Lu Xi asked for the rubbing of the painting, and avoiding him would be a bit deceptive.

It's just that Lu Xi didn't intend to tell the reason, so Xiuge didn't ask. Xiuge was used to this when he was doing tasks in the Royal Knights.

The leader of the Royal Knights was always like this when dealing with noble matters. After discovering something, he suddenly became silent.

No one will delve into the reasons. Those who should know will always know, and those who should not know will always disappear.

Lihua took the rubbing scroll without saying a word, unfolded the scroll according to Xiuge's instructions, closed her eyes and recalled that day four months ago.

Every night when she woke up, Lihua had the scene of that day in her mind. It was effortless to recall it. Soon, Lihua recalled the appearance of that person in her mind.

But it was not the day when the farm was destroyed... but the person who visited the farm as a guest two days before that.

Lihua said she was a slave, but her status was different from that of an ordinary slave. She had been with Mrs. Charlotte as a personal maid, and studied writing for a period of time before being assigned to a nursery.

Therefore, she could talk to the people who were in charge of the farm. She happened to go to report on the nursery that day and saw the appearance of the visiting guests.

On the day the farm was wiped out, the man was flying in the sky, and he could see it as soon as he raised his head. If he had not seen that man, Lihua would not have known what he looked like amid the flashes of fire and thunder.

But they had just met him two days ago, so how could Lihua not recognize that person's appearance?

The rubbing scroll flashed with light and closed naturally, indicating that the rubbing was successful. Lihua opened her eyes, and just as she was about to move, her body fell weak. She gritted her teeth hard to steady her body, and rubbed the rubbing that looked like an enemy. The printed scroll was handed to Lu Xi.

Lu Xi took it and opened the scroll in front of Xiuge, not guarding against Xiuge - she also wanted to know if Xiuge might have seen this person. Anyway, she hadn't told Xiuge what happened.

On the rubbing scroll, there is a very clear full-length portrait of a character. Compared to a 2D flat painting, it is more like a real 3D model, with a sense of "reality" that is ready to move at any time.

The person on the scroll is a middle-aged man, older, looking to be in his 40s, but not strong, thin, and not tall, only about 1.7 meters tall.

The white robe on his body has no obvious identifier, so it is impossible to guess the other party's identity from the clothes.

As for the face, it was very ordinary, so ordinary that Lu Xi even subconsciously ignored the other person's appearance, unable to find a single feature worth discussing.

No, Lu Xi couldn't help but shake his head, trying to wake himself up from this hypnotic feeling.

It seems that the image Lihua saw may not be the true appearance of that person. An elemental mage who can destroy the farm certainly cannot be so easily remembered by a slave.

What's more, before doing the thing of exterminating the family, he had visited the house openly and openly, so he must have covered it up with reasonable means.

Lu Xi twitched her lips helplessly. She knew that it was not that simple to know who the "murderer" was. How could she find the murderer's self-portrait without any investigation at all.

Lu Xi looked at Xiuge, who had already frowned. Thinking of the hypnotic effect above, Xiuge was already aware of it, but for some reason, he didn't know it as quickly as Lu Xi.

Lu Xi looked over at first glance and immediately realized something was wrong. He quickly woke up, but Xiuge seemed to still be struggling.

Lu Xi did not dare to intervene easily in this situation, so she looked at Li Hua again. Li Hua stared at the portraits on the scroll with hatred in her eyes, but she didn't feel anything was wrong at all. In her eyes, the portraits on the rubbing scrolls, It was exactly the enemy she remembered.

Lu Xi thought it was very strange, so that person was actually guarding against ordinary people like Li Hua?If you give yourself something like a hypnotic illusion, even if someone sees it, what you recall afterwards will only be an illusion in the eyes of ordinary people.Therefore, the figures on this rubbing scroll are indeed the scene that Lihua saw in his eyes at that time. However, people with low mental strength will not notice the hypnotic power on it. Only people with strong mental strength can detect it. Not right.

Am I mentally strong?Lu Xi found it funny, probably more because of his golden finger.

Xiuge opened his eyes suddenly and woke up completely. He pursed his lips and looked at the scroll defensively, then looked at Lu Xi, "Miss Lucy, who is this? This is not what he looks like."

Lu Xi naturally knew it, but she seemed to remember it being mentioned in some book that the effects of elemental spells like this were flawed. For example, if the appearance of the face was ignored, there must be nothing hidden on the body.

That's why this man wears a white robe that doesn't reveal anything.

"One, enemy." Lu Xi looked at Li Hua and replied to Xiuge.

After all, she inherited the identity of "Lucy Rolette" and lived in this world, and inherited this farm with many secrets, so she had to accept the grudges that resulted from it.

The figures on the rubbing scrolls have a hypnotic effect. Even if Lu Xi wakes up soon, the influence is still there when he looks at it again, making it difficult to see the details.

Xiuge was stunned for a moment. He probably didn't expect Lu Xi's answer to be so simple. He scratched his head and said, "I remember, Miss Lucy."

I don’t know what I remembered.

Lihua, who had already eaten the Dima fruit and although she had not recovered, could no longer feel the pain, looked over hesitantly after hearing the conversation.

His eyes fell on the rubbing scroll, and he couldn't believe the content of the conversation, "False? Did I remember it wrong?"

This was obviously a huge blow. Lu Xi quickly opened his mouth and briefly explained that what Li Hua saw was indeed the murderer himself, but because the other party concealed his appearance, the appearance on the portrait could not be believed.

However, other than the appearance, there is no cover, so if clues can be found elsewhere on the body, the identity of the person can still be determined, but it is not as direct as the appearance.

After listening to Lu Xi's explanation, Li Hua still looked disappointed. It was hard to imagine that what she tried hard to remember was just a fake appearance.

Lu Xi looked at Li Hua and shook her head. She didn't try to persuade her anymore. She still had to figure this out on her own, and looked at the rubbing scroll again.

Since there is no way to check the details of an authentic product, then... will the scanned image still have that hypnotic effect?

Lu Xi did what he thought of, brought up the system panel, scanned the portrait of the person on the rubbing scroll, and then used the system panel to view the portrait.

Not to mention, although the picture scanned by the system showed the person's ordinary appearance after disguise, the strange hypnotic effect was really gone.

Through the system panel, Lu Xi zoomed in and out on the entire character, and the details that were difficult to detect in every corner were revealed.

After all, there is no frame loss in the images scanned by the system, and there will be no blur when magnified hundreds of times.

After looking at it like this, Lu Xi really discovered a lot of things.

Although this extremely ordinary-looking appearance was not believable, Lu Xi found a less obvious feature in his body shape that could easily be thought to be an angle problem.

That is, this person's shoulders are a little biased, high on the left and low on the right. It is most likely a sequelae of an injury that was not treated in time, or he was born with it and has some defects.

And this person seemed to know it, and even put something on his low shoulders to cover up this difference - it is naturally difficult for ordinary people to detect these details.

Then Lu Xi noticed that the height of this man's shoes was wrong, as if they had thick soles.

So, this murderer is not even 1.7 meters tall?Needless to say, this height suddenly shortened Lu Xi's target range.

Who makes the average height of people in this other world relatively high? Very few adult males are less than 1.7 meters tall, especially nobles with status. How can they grow short if they are well-fed, well-fed, and well-nourished?
So once there is someone who meets the conditions, it will definitely be quite conspicuous.

Lu Xi also discovered some other details, such as a necklace with a corner exposed on the neck, and dark marks on the edge of the wrist similar to birthmarks...

But Lu Xi didn't say any of this. He just mentioned that the shoes were a little too high, which was the easiest thing to discover.

Li Hua remained silent, and Lu Xi did not try to persuade her too much. She put away the portrait of the murderer and Lu Xi prepared for dinner.

Even if the world is destroyed tomorrow, you still have to eat today’s dinner, not to mention the world will not be destroyed tomorrow.

Li Hua followed Lu Xi and helped her. After a while, Li Hua became Lu Xi's maid. She would go back to Midori's family in the evening as usual and just come over at 05:30 every morning.

Lu Xi only uses Li Hua to help with cooking and washing dishes after meals, plus a little cleaning at most. So in fact, Li Hua can stay with Lu Xi before and after meals every day. Normally, he goes home to do things. also.

After a busy afternoon, with the help of Marco's patrol team, the villagers of Xinwa Village in Ling'an Farm Square had packed up their things and returned to Xinwa Village.

Now Lingxuan Farm is clean and has restored its original image.

Cross and Marco responded to Lu Xi's summons and came over just as dinner was being prepared.

Lu Xi told Xiuge that he had cleaned up the monsters, so that the two of them could take people outside the farm to pick up the corpses of the monsters and bring them back to avoid waste.

Dozens of gold coins are nothing to Lu Xi, but to the members of Marco's patrol, one gold coin per person is very valuable. Their monthly salary is not even one gold coin.

Their value to Kroos is even less so.

And Shuge cleared away the monsters outside the farm, which means that even if no one protects them when they go out, they will not encounter any danger, and they can go out and pick up the monster corpses with confidence.

At the same time, Lu Xi looked at Marco and said, "Without further delay, starting tomorrow, you can take people to harvest the farmland."

After a while, Lu Xi suddenly remembered that Luo Weimu seemed to have suggested that he go to the craftsman Uga before. There were some tools that could help with harvesting, right?
I took a look at the sky and then at the dinner, so let’s go over there after dinner.
