Did the lord get rid of poverty and become rich today?

The warehouse fire had a great impact on Susan.

Even though Qiao Yi and the workers did not blame Susan, the huge psychological pressure still kept Susan awake at night.

She even came to the castle with red eyes the next day, begging Joe to remove her post.

In fact, Qiao Yi never had such a plan.

Regardless of what is behind this matter, Susan's own work ability is very good.

She can accurately calculate the various raw materials needed for each batch of goods, and even plan the shipment of each doll in the next season according to the types of orders from merchants.

It is precisely because of this that the monthly salary of the workers in the cloth art factory has also been increased to 100 silver coins. If it is not for the limitation of raw materials and production speed, their salary will be higher.

Storm collar does not produce cotton and linen, and there are not many sheep. Many materials need to be transported from the south, which takes up a lot of raw material expenses.

This year, Qiao Yi is planning to promote sheep farming and try cotton and hemp cultivation.

To the north of the manor, there is still a large piece of wasteland that has not been cultivated. The ground there is mixed with gravel, and it is almost impossible to grow crops.

But in Qiao Yi's view, these are problems that can be solved.

What needs to be done now is to find the guy who set the fire.

So the next morning after the workers were settled and the warehouse was cleaned up, the elf Lancaster came to Stormland again.

To be honest, Qiao Yi didn't want to owe this elf too much favor, but the development of the matter obviously involved Qiao Yi's blind spot in knowledge.

In order to express his gratitude, Qiao Yi specially prepared a sumptuous lunch for Lancaster.

Before that, they need to catch that bad guy who was evaluated by the system as [likes to play pranks] as soon as possible.

Qiao Yi felt that he needed to use his fists to tell him what the consequences of going too far with a prank would be.

So, after looking at the situation in the warehouse, Qiao Yi took Lancaster to the kitchen.

The scorched color on the cabinet was exactly the same as that on the warehouse door frame, and the half-burned tree branch was also placed on the counter.

Lancaster pinched the half of the branch, and wiped the scorched spot with his fingers.

"Maybe... it's the Fire Spirit."

"Fire spirit?" Qiao Yi rubbed the burnt ashes on his hands: "Is it the kind of leaves?"

"No." Lancaster shook his head: "It's not the same. The fire spirit... is an unwilling soul that died in the fire, and then turned into fire, wandering in the world."

Joe One: ...

Ghost or something, it's better not to have such a sudden change in style.

Speaking of which, if it's a ghost, if you kill it, can you still do a lucky draw for the illustrated book?

【Anecdote of death cannot be used to make illustrated books】

Joe One: ...

[Successfully purify the contaminated anecdote, you can get double rewards]

Joe one:!

……

It is not an easy task to find a fire spirit who is good at hiding and who is erratic and probably not clear-headed.

It wasn't until near noon that Qiao Yi roughly determined the range of the fire spirit's activities based on the distribution of the circular scorched marks.

"Generally speaking, the fire spirit will be trapped near the place where it died, and the possibility of going further away is not ruled out, but it is still centered on the place of death."

In the study, Lancaster tapped the map of Stormland with his finger.

Many places on the map are marked with circles, and these are the places where scorched marks were found.

"here."

Qiao Yi's eyes lit up, and he pointed at the center of those marks

The former Guangming Holy See is now a fabric workshop.

However, has there ever been a fire in the Holy See?

At least in the memory of the original owner, it had been abandoned for many years, and no accident had happened.

According to Lancaster, the Fire Spirit can be purified, but it needs to find out the Fire Spirit's obsession before it can arouse its true heart.

Therefore, they need to know what happened that year.

However, they asked many old people, many years after the church left here, there has never been a fire there.

That can only be what happened when the Holy See was still here.

But the time is too long, and the Holy See has left the Stormwind Territory for many years, so where can I find it?

"Master, you may need this."

Just when things were at an impasse, Old Gener pushed the door open and entered.

He held a thick stack of notes in his hand, covered with dust.

""Church Diary"?"

Qiao shook the dust on it, coughed twice, and saw the writing on the cover clearly.

"The bishop of the Holy See keeps a diary every day to record what happened that day. Maybe something can be found." Old Gener took out a copy and gently wiped the remaining ash on it with a flannel cloth.

Joe One: ...a lot.

Looking at the big pile, there are at least a dozen or twenty books.

Looking at the sun that was gradually moving overhead, Qiao Yi tugged on Lancaster's sleeve: "How about... eat first?"

……

Meal time is always the most enjoyable moment in the castle.

Especially when the elves are here as guests.

Because this means that the lord is going to cook himself again!

Barton went hunting in the mountains yesterday, and when he came down, he came over to give away two pheasants.

Qiao Yi's iron pot has created a lot of income for Barton's blacksmith shop. He is very grateful to Qiao Yi. When the harvest is relatively rich, he will come to distribute some small prey to the lord's mansion.

Just in time for the harvest of peppers and spices two days ago, Qiao Yi came up with the idea of ​​a large plate of chicken.

For this reason, he also specially ordered two more bags of wheat flour.

Now, there is a plate of scrambled eggs with green peppers, a plate of twice-cooked pork, and tomato and egg soup on the table.

A pot of meat simmering on the stove exudes a strong aroma, and the chewy noodles on the other side are ready.

With Dean's voice "It's time to eat", the chicken and potatoes wrapped in thick sauce were served in a huge rice bowl.

The large pieces of chicken are steaming, and the soft and glutinous potatoes are soaked in the smell of chicken soup, accompanied by the spicy aroma of chili and spices, permeating the small room.

The noodles were mixed in the sauce, and they were smooth and chewy. Qiao Yi held two small wooden sticks under everyone's strange eyes, and ate with great pleasure.

To be fair, it is really inhumane to eat lasagna with a knife and fork.

Eating a large plate of chicken with a knife and fork is an extremely weird thing.

Dean was the first to give up. He wiped his mouth, took out the chopstick cage that Qiao Yi had planned to keep there for a long time, but almost no one used it from the cupboard, took out two chopsticks, and learned how to use them clumsily.

Then El gave up too.

Ten minutes later, Qiao Yi raised his eyebrows and curled the corners of his mouth as he looked at everyone present, including the elves, who were using chopsticks.

Ha, when Joe used chopsticks to eat, they said that Joe was neither fish nor fowl!

Facts have proved that no matter which world you are in, the essence of human beings includes the true incense theorem.

"pat-"

Something fell out of the cupboard.

When Joe turned to look, Dean had picked it up.

A brown spherical object.

Joe frowned.

What is this?

"Master, the green fruit that Ye Zi gave seems to be broken." Dean pinched the fruit that had been sunken in his hand, and the peel was all pulled together: "Do you want to throw it away?"

"Ah. I remembered."

Joe patted his head one by one.

When Ye Zi came to "surrender", he seemed to have given him a few fruits.

It's just that after he put it in the cupboard, he didn't care about it anymore.

"Huh? There seems to be something in it. Is it a seed?"

Dean held the fruit and broke it apart.

A sweet smell pervaded the air.

In the tan peel, several finger-sized milky white fruits are squeezed close together.

"It smells good? I'll try it."

Qiao Yi: "Hey, don't!"

But it was too late to stop it.

Dean had chewed and swallowed.

There was a brief silence in the room, and everyone stared at Dean nervously.

"...Who told you to eat indiscriminately!

Joe just felt his head buzzing, a little bit up.

Ye Zi wasn't there today, so he couldn't ask for clarification on the spot.

How did this kid live to be so big?Is he really not the reincarnation of Husky? ? ?

"...The things Ye Zi sent should be fine." Dean smacked his mouth: "Well, it's a bit sweet...no taste."

Joe One: ...

[It costs 20 gold coins to detect this item, do you want to detect it immediately? 】Joe One: Has the price increased? !It was not at this price last time! !

[Do you want to test immediately?Note: This system can also provide you with funeral services, flip coffin 998, sliding coffin 1988, crystal ice coffin...] Shut up!detect!Now!immediately!

【payment successful.Checking in progress, please wait. 】

Qiao Yi clutched his aching heart: Bah, profiteer!

[Prop name: Leaf's Green Fruit.Toxicity: Non-toxic (raw food may cause diarrhea) Corresponding props: cocoa fruit. 】 Cocoa fruit.

Qiao Yi picked up a green fruit and looked at Ye Zi who had just been dragged into the door by Xiao Fei, as if seeing a walking chocolate making machine.

As for Dean.

Qiao Yi looked at him with some sympathy, this guy who didn't know his fate for the next three days.

...I hope that after three days, your little flower is still fine.

……

The dozen or so diaries in the study were opened again after the meal.

Everyone joins in the search for clues.

These diaries all have a common signature: Fleming Boughton.

The bishop who came to Stormwind to preach.

The title page of the diary reads:

"We are the children of the light, and the light is the child of God. God blesses the light in the world, and will descend upon His angels..."

"...children are angels descended from God..."

Fleming's handwriting is smooth and elegant, and he looks very comfortable. Every day, he writes about some interesting things that happened in the Storm Neck or the church.

Until Joe opened the diary on August 8rd, a new name appeared in the diary: "Welcome my little angel—Susie. This is your home, and I will give you all my love and warmth, Believe me."

After that, the contents of the diary mentioned Suzy almost every day.

"Susie wants a pony buggy, but you can't get one here. Sorry, my angel."

"Susie broke the bowl again today, what a naughty kid. But angels should always be forgiven, right? It's okay, it's just a bowl."

"Why is Suzy crying today? Angels are supposed to be happy forever. It's my fault."
