Release that Witch

8. Chapter 8 Months of Demon (on)

    If you want to develop well, you must take root here. If the land is not good, you can open wasteland. If the territory is too small, it can expand outwards, but people are empty talk.

    If a piece of territory may be abandoned at any time, then who is willing to buy a home here, who is willing to produce with peace of mind?

    After the Assistant Minister retired, Roland called Carter Lannis, his Chief Knight.

    “Take your people, find me local guards, hunters or farmers. They have been here for more than five years and have experienced Months of Demon. It would be best if someone had fought with Evil Beast. ”

    Knight took the lead and Roland licked his forehead and continued to look at the aggregated information.

    Border Town’s main output is mineral and animal fur, and the bulk import is grain. All shipments are via Scarlet Water River to Longsong Stronghold or Willow Town. All kinds of ore in minerals, iron, copper, sulfur, crystal, red gem, blue gem…This has completely exceeded the concept of associated minerals. He also remembered that Anna had said that the Northern Slope Mining area was said to have been the nest of unknown monsters in the underground. Until now, it has not fully explored how many ramps on the bottom of the mine.

    Turning to the food item, Roland frowned. Most of the ore was sold to Longsong Stronghold, but the other party did not pay with the kingdom gold royal, but used grain to offset the price. It is reasonable to say that gem and the like can be regarded as luxury goods. In the past few years, Border Town has not saved much grain and has no surplus in fiscal revenue.

    In other words, Border Town’s annual mining output only exchanges rations for two thousand residents a year. Considering that before the prince airborne, the feudal lord itself was a Longsong Duke, and it was understandable to produce and sell. Anyway, they think that it is cheaper to save more food in this place.

    The fur trade belongs to the local people’s own input. They enter the Hidden Forest westward, hunt some birds and beasts, sell them to Longsong Stronghold’s acquirers, or sell them to Willow Town residents. Border Town did not set a tax on this transaction because there was no supervision at all.

    Roland thought about it. Since he came, the ore output could no longer be used to offset the price. The branch of the Scarlet Water River runs through the entire kingdom, and traffic is not occluded. With this transport artery, even if Longsong Stronghold no longer provides food, he can also buy it from other places.

    The premise is that he can be here, in Border Town, to block the damn monsters.

    Carter’s movements were quick, and The next day found two guards and a local hunter. “These two are Border Town’s patrol Captain, and the annual bonfire is responsible for their release. The hunter said that he had handed over Evil Beast* and had cut off an Evil Beast’s head. ”

    The three men bowed together.

    Roland nodded and let them go back to the side, one by one.

    ZunPrince of Esteemed…”His Royal Highness,” the first guard who was called up was so nervous that he couldn’t tell. “I and Brian both…They are all people here, uh…When it snows, we…They will travel to the Northern Slope Mining area…Beacon There can be the first…The first time I saw the movement of the monsters, if they crossed the fascination…Hidden Forest, we will point…Ignite the bonfire, from a young age…The road was withdrawn, and the fast boat prepared before boarding was away…Leave

    “Since it’s all together, ask your partner to answer it,” Roland shook his head and shook his head. “What do Evil Beast look like, can they be killed?”

    Although the other guard was very nervous, at least he did not stutter. “His Royal Highness, it should be possible.” They were originally ordinary animals in the forest. Although infected by Breath of Hell became arrogant and fierce, they can still be killed. Every year after Months of Demon, Longsong Stronghold sent a cavalry to clean the stronghold to the remaining Evil Beast on the Border Town. ”

    “How long will Months of Demon last?”

    “It usually takes two to three months…It depends on the sun,” Brian said.

    “Look at the sun?”Roland wondered.

    “Yes,” the guard explained. “His Royal Highness has just arrived here, so I don’t know.” Once the Border Town snows, it won’t stop until the sun returns to its glory and the snow will go away. ”

    “When it’s snowing, is it the end of Months of Demon?”Roland recalls, at least Greycastle’s snow is not the case, basically The next day is gone, and there is no change in the sun.

    “This is the case. The longest Months of Demon I experienced was two years ago, and it lasted for nearly four months, and many people couldn’t support it.”

    “Why, is Longsong Stronghold not even having a month of grain reserves?”Roland asked.

    Brian’s face is getting a bit worse, “They have it. But Freno, the city official responsible for replenishment at the time, said that the ore we produced in the fall was only enough to buy three months of grain, and the fourth month had to wait for a new batch of ore to be released. Months of Demon is not over yet, we can’t leave stronghold at all. ”

    “So that’s it ……Got it

    It is simply an idiot from the people. If Longsong Stronghold treats these people as warm as the spring breeze, it’s not easy to leave them behind, but now it seems that the guys who are behind the wall are not good things. Roland gestured to the last person to answer the question, but he remembered the name in his heart.

    The third person was so powerful that he was close to six feet when standing straight, which made Roland feel stressed. Fortunately, he walked forward and kneeled on one knee.

    “You said you killed Evil Beast?”

    “Yes, Your Highness,” his voice was low and hoarse. “A Wild boar species, a Wolf species.”

    KindsRoland repeated, “What does it mean ?”

    “This is hunter to Evil Beast’s title, Your Highness. The more ferocious animals before the mutation, the more difficult it is to mutate. And they will magnify the body’s original advantages. Like the Wild boar species, its back fur is extremely hard, and it is difficult to penetrate even the sacral arch 50 meters away. The Wolf species is even more awkward, running at an incredible speed, and you need to set traps in advance to kill it. ”

    “Strongly stronger, faster and faster,” Roland nodded. “But it’s still an animal.”

    “That’s it, they are not the most terrible enemy,” Hunter said, swallowing his mouth. “The most terrible thing is the hybrid species.”

    “They are the incarnation of Devil, only hell can create such a horrible monster. I have seen a hybrid species that not only has a strong limb like a beast, but also has a pair of huge wings behind it that can fly short distances. And it’s like knowing where I am, no matter how I hide, it can pull me out. It is not preying, Your Highness, it is just teasing prey. ”Hunter picked up his clothes and saw a huge scar extending from the abdomen to the chest. “I jumped into the Scarlet Water River before I was in a coma before I survived.”

    “There are still such monsters,” Roland thinks the world is becoming more and more fantastic. A solid wall can block all common Evil Beast, but what about flying? “Hybrid species should be rare? ”
