Soul echo

Chapter 221 Leisure time

"The lord of Vienna is a cultist?!"

Lilian couldn't help being dumbfounded by this shocking fact.

The thick cloth surrounding the shed kept the cold wind out, and the two hid in the small shed next to the carriage to warm up the fire, and the draft horse that pulled the carriage also hid here, and now it was lying on the animal skin that Zhong Ye had spread out for it. On, sleep soundly.

After Lilian asked about what happened today, Zhong Ye told her the truth.

"Yeah." Zhong Ye nodded, "At that time, I just wanted to trick him. I held back a little bit of strength when I drew the knife. If the barrier didn't appear on his body in time, I would have retracted the attack. But I didn't expect that, He turned out to be a cultist..."

The reason why Lilian was asked to prepare the carriage was because he had already revealed to the Lord of Vienna that he was the one who invaded the mansion, and even shot him. Even if the Lord of Vienna was not a cultist, he did not kill him , they will also want him.

Lilian blinked her eyes, and asked with some doubts: "Then are the words he said still believable?"

Zhong Ye shook his head, "I don't know, but this is also a clue, so I'm going to check it out."

Ah, this is Zhong Ye's style...

Although many times he will make a decision and act later, but 'action' accounts for far more than 'thinking' when he explores or investigates something.

If there is something that you don't understand for a while, you can let go of those thoughts without distraction, move on, gather more information, and then think about it.

"But until then, we have other things to do."

"What is it?" Lilian asked.

Is there anything more important than investigating the 'Military City' nobles?

Zhong Ye took out the map and showed it to Lilian, "One of the locations given by several scholars is near here, between Vienna and the 'Military City'."

It was only then that Lilian remembered that their main goal of leaving Lyon was to find the production base of hallucinogens, and it was incidental to investigate the nobles along the way.

Because they didn't have any clue about the top management of that organization, and those people certainly couldn't be found casually. In contrast, Zhong Ye was more inclined to look for the place where the hallucinogen was produced first.

"The flooding of hallucinogens in the southeastern region of the Kingdom of Gaul is very serious, which means that there is a huge demand for hallucinogens." Zhong Ye suddenly began to explain, "Because of the large demand, there must be manpower for planting, harvesting and processing. There are also many, and unless the production base can be self-sufficient, many traces are bound to be left behind.

"Many of the necessities such as food, clothing, salt, oil, etc. are difficult for them to produce independently - it is not a problem to want to produce independently, the problem is that once these things have to be produced by themselves, the area of ​​the production base will undoubtedly be huge, and it is easy to will be discovered."

Having said that, Zhong Ye glanced at Lilian and asked, "After hearing so much, do you have any thoughts?"

Lilian let out an "ah", it turned out to be another school exam...

Afterwards, the girl fell into contemplation. After thinking hard for a long time, she relied on her own wisdom to think of something.

"...It is difficult for humans and animals to coexist!" Lilian didn't have much confidence, so she whispered, "If there really is a production base of hallucinogens in that place, then the traces of surrounding animal activities can provide us with some clues..."

Hearing Lilian's answer, Zhong Ye smiled slightly, "And then?"

"Then……"

Seeing Zhong Ye's smile, Lilian felt the surge of courage, and raised her voice: "There should be patrolling people around the hallucinogen production base, and it's impossible for everyone in the patrol team to be master thieves who are good at hiding. , and no one has found them for so long, they may also slack off, so they are likely to leave some inconspicuous traces around."

"That's right." Zhong Ye nodded in agreement.

These conversations were guided through the school exam. Even if Lilian didn't think of these things, he would tell these methods of finding the hallucinogen production base and pass them on to the players who were doing these 'tasks' through the live broadcast.

The most serious problem of the proliferation of hallucinogens is in the southeast region, which does not mean that other regions do not have related problems.

In addition to the Southeast region, there must be production bases in other regions.

Although it is impossible for players to ask those scholars like him, as long as they are patient enough, they can get relevant information from the library and others, and then deduce the location of hallucinogen production bases in other regions.

This is the correct solution to the 'task', what Zhong Ye took is actually a shortcut.

"Sit down for a while and go to sleep." Zhong Ye chose to end the conversation tonight, "I still have to hurry tomorrow!"

Lilian nodded, greeted the audience, and clicked 'offline'.

After logging off, take off the game helmet and go to the bathroom to wash up.

Until she lay back on the bed, she was thinking about a problem in her mind, and she couldn't fall asleep.

——Zhong Ye, why doesn't it feel like the previous Zhong Ye?

…………

Early the next morning, Zhong Ye put away the movable roof and put 'clothes' on the horse so that it would not shiver in the cold wind.

Lilian went online soon, and then found that her game character was wiping the sweat off her body, so she didn't directly turn on the live broadcast.

This game has a 'disease system'. Once sick, the physical attributes will weaken, and then the system will automatically simulate the mental state of the player when sick, which will affect the player's control of the game character.

When she started the live broadcast, the carriage was already moving.

There has been no heavy snow in the past two days, and there is no snow on the road. Even the ground is dry and hard, which is very suitable for action.

The only thing that makes people more uncomfortable than the horse is the cold wind. Lilian is fine hiding in the carriage by herself, but Zhong Ye needs to sit outside.

Perhaps it was because Zhong Ye's physique was too strong, until now, he was still wearing only a coat, sitting outside the carriage against the low temperature and frost.

The scenery outside the window remained the same, and the stove fixed in the middle of the carriage exuded warmth. Lilian leaned comfortably on the back of the chair, narrowed her eyes slightly, and breathed slowly as the carriage shook.

After an unknown amount of time, the carriage slowed down. Lilian looked out the window and heard the sound of rippling water and flowing water.

Afterwards, the carriage turned as expected, and the carriage turned accordingly, and a river that was not frozen into ice came into Lilian's eyes.

Above the river, she clearly saw some light blue light spots floating around, as if a lively dance was going on - if it wasn't for her sharp eyes, she would almost see those light spots and the sky as one.

"Teacher, what are those on the river?" The girl didn't lean against the window, because that would cause the water vapor she breathed to spray onto the glass, and when it was cold to liquefy, the water vapor would cast a layer of 'fog' on the window.

She couldn't bear to take her eyes away, even for a moment, because those spots of light were too beautiful.

Zhong Ye glanced at it, "That's the 'Spirit of Flowing Water', the frozen water will bring inconvenience to the lives of people living along the river, so people pray that the river will never freeze, and the Spirit of Flowing Water was born out of such a wish of.

"They are both weak and strong, both humble and noble. As a kind of spiritual body, they have no consciousness and wisdom, but there are exceptions to everything. It is said that in some rivers, there is a kind of water spirit that transforms into a beautiful woman. , they are the family members of the Father of Nature, possessing the magical power to control the flow of water."

After a pause, Zhong Ye continued: "The existence of the spirit of flowing water here means that there are human settlements nearby, and I don't know if that settlement is on our way forward. If so, we can go there. Get some news."

"So it's like this..." Lilian had a feeling, and then looked at the barrage.

——[take notes, take notes! 】

——【It turns out that those spots of light are the spirits of flowing water. I threw stones at them last time...】

——[Among all the "Soul Echo" anchors, Lilian is the most comfortable to stay here, the adventure is always uninterrupted, and you can learn a lot of knowledge]

——[Yeah, thanks to Lilian and Zhong Ye, I brought my friends to upgrade a lot faster, and I will never fail my high math class again——My friend is a master of the Department of Mathematics! 】

Because of these bullet screens, the live broadcast room became hot again. In such a lively atmosphere, Zhong Ye drove the carriage to a small village...
