Demon Sage

The night was spent in meditation. The study in the spiritual world failed to return to its original state. Although the demon did not appear, the erosion continued.

Can church baptism really solve this problem?

Donald is a little skeptical, in case they can’t do it, 50 gold pounds is not a small amount… when the time comes is it going to try a ceremony that costs hundreds of gold pounds?

second day Early in the morning, Sherlock still maintained his habit of getting up at 7:30. According to him, this is called the law of life, which is good for the body.

I told Steward about going to the town in advance, and old Hobo was waiting outside in a donkey cart.

Breakfast was too late to sit down and enjoy it slowly. Donald drank the milk from the glass in one gulp, followed Sherlock out with a piece of bread in his hand.

“Mr. Hooper, take us directly to the church in the town. By the way, which church does the church in the town belong to?”

Opening the tarp, the rain passed through the night It turned into a drizzle, and there was no cover on the donkey cart, so we could only rely on umbrellas.

“It belongs to the revival church.”

“Okay, it’s good to revive the church.”

If Justice Church has close ties with the official government, then the bottom Most of the farmers and pastors believe in the goddess of the earth, the goddess of the earth, that is, the god of the resurrection church.

“What’s the good thing?”

Donald has some doubts. Regarding the resurrection of the church, he only knows that because of the teachings, there are very few of their churches in the cities, and most of them are built in the townships.

“The Revival Church has always advocated peace and friendliness. Even non-believers will maintain a friendly attitude. My success rate when I ask them for something will be much higher… Forgot to tell you, you All I have to do later is go to the medicine ingredient store in town, the grocery store, etc. and ask Miss Audrey if she has bought some ingredients from them.”

“Materials? Sherlock, can you? Tell me something? Just ask in such a foggy way, maybe you will miss the key information.”

Adjusted the seat, closer to Sherlock, the edge of the two umbrellas together.

“Well, this is just a discussion between me and you, no third person can know… The monster we met last night was called in some books: blood beast , this kind of monster does not exist in our world in the strict sense, but it has a very close relationship with a special race. I won’t go into details with you. The key is that they often appear as hunters of blood, simple For example, the blood of the creatures killed by them will be absorbed, and the blood beasts feed on blood, but if they want, they can also collect the blood, store it in their own bodies, and then go through some such and such changes. Forming a kind of existence called ‘blood crystal’, this thing has a great effect. It is recorded in the book that a nobleman once summoned several blood beasts through evil methods, and relied on them to worship ‘blood crystals’ and maintained a long youth. …even changing appearances!”

Legends often come from exaggerated adaptations of some real events. The story about the scarlet count told by Sherlock is widely circulated in this world, and people’s attention There are two, the first is the existence of blood beasts, and the second is the effect of youth stasis.

“You mean Miss Audrey…summon blood beast?”

“It’s just a guess, that’s why I asked you to look for clues in these stores , In addition, there are still many questions that have not been resolved, such as how did she have the method to summon the blood beast? That is a taboo ceremony. If it is discovered by the church, there is no room for refutation. Besides, why is the blood beast attacking cattle and sheep? If people want to use ‘blood crystals’, they must be formed from the blood of the same race.”

“What will happen to different races?”

Donald was too lazy at this time. Ask Sherlock why he knows so many strange things. If there is such information in the book, he must find a few books to study it in the future.

“Inject the blood of cattle and sheep into your body, what do you think will happen?”

“Death?”

“No, it’s more than that It’s going to be miserable…”

The “blood crystal” formed by the blood brewed by the blood beast will become something that the human body can accept, that is to say, the human body has accepted the blood of cattle and sheep. .

This behavior is equivalent to pouring soy sauce into lemonade, and the mixed drink can take people to the hospital!

Near Ryffindor Farm is a small town called Wheat Valley. It is not small in scale. Although it is much worse than the city of Preston, it is not enough and more than the lower. For some nearby For a small village, this is already a town with a slightly urban style.

“Two gentlemen, we are here.”

The donkey cart drove directly into the town of Maigu and stopped on the side of the street.

“Excuse Mr. Hooper to take me to church, you can stop here, most of the shops are open at 8 o’clock.”

Donald got up and jumped out of the donkey cart , carefully avoiding the pond beside his feet, now the clothes and shoes on him are not his own.

The donkey cart stopped in front of a carving shop. This is not the shop to ask about, and the number of grocery stores and medicine ingredient stores that Donald really goes to is not as many as he imagined, especially the latter, medicine The ingredient store does not mean the sale of medicines. It is full of raw raw materials that have not been thought out. The corresponding market is so large, and this type of store is destined to not open more.

So after asking a few people who went out to inspect fields in the morning, Donald decided to start with a medicine ingredient store.

There are a total of three medicine ingredient stores in the whole Maigu town, and the second one will respond.

“Miss Audrey? I’ve been here. About a week ago, she went to my store to buy some medicine ingredients. There were a lot of them. It only takes a few ounces, so I am very impressed with her, you ask me what to do with this? Is it that Miss Audrey wants to buy it again?”

The store manager chose some fresh gifts in his hand. The medicine ingredient that came, looked at Donald expectantly.

“I want to know what the medicine ingredients that Miss Audrey bought before, you are the store manager, you should be familiar with this kind of things, right?”

Audrey ·The medicine ingredient that Bartley purchases here is not just one kind. As long as there is a combination, as a store manager, he always knows a little bit about pharmacology.

“Well, my memory….”

The hand choosing the medicine ingredient stopped, and the two fingers twisted each other.

“Yes, it’s a reward.”

Put a penny on the counter.

“Privacy about this…”

Not enough.

“So?”

Add a penny.

“Oh, I seem to remember something, and I feel a little bit worse, what do you think?”

This is insatiable.

“Do you like it?”

I grabbed the coin and went out. I’m not the person handling the case. Why didn’t I get a penny and still put money in it? ?

“Wait, I remember!”

2p is money.

“Conditioning women’s physiology….Is that so?”

After listening to the store manager’s analysis, the final result is that Miss Audrey’s monthly It’s been a few days, and I need to buy some medicine ingredients to make up.

“Yes, this store is handed down from my grandfather. I grew up here, and most of the medicine ingredients in the store work for me. We all know that all the herbs that Miss Audrey bought are blood-activating and blood-enriching herbs, generally speaking, only people who have lost too much blood will need it, and she has no injuries on her body, so it can only be used to condition her body.”

“What did you just say? The effects of those medicine ingredients…”

Capturing the sensitive words in the store manager’s words and confirming again.

“Activating blood and nourishing blood are both common medicine ingredients, so I won’t admit it wrong. I also clearly told her that the amount should not be too large, otherwise it will be a problem if the effect is too good.”

“Thank you for your help, this information is very important.”

Write down what the store manager said in the notebook. According to Sherlock, the blood beast condenses into “blood crystals” for the ordinary person to swallow, Maybe this kind of blood-activating medicine ingredient is needed to assist and speed up the distribution of the effect.

The third medicine ingredient store did not gain anything. Miss Audrey only went to one store.

Then there is the grocery store, and it is still a family to ask.

“Miss Audrey didn’t see it, but other people from Ryffindor Farm visited…Mr. Aldridge, I remember him because he wanted something special. I don’t have it here, but I picked it up from Mr. Thane’s house in town for a full six shillings.”

“Six shillings? What’s so expensive?”

Donald estimated in his heart that the monthly salary of farm workers, excluding room and board, should be around 15 shillings. The shopkeeper took 6 shillings and sold it. It shouldn’t be the original price. Aldridge wants to buy it. It is estimated that it will cost nearly half of the monthly salary. This is a grocery store, not a jewelry store.

“The wild goat horn, more than five years old, is not an ordinary thing. It is rare in the whole town. Mr. Sean is a famous hunter in the town, and he hunted it in the mountains before. The goat, the horn, the grey and black, tsk tsk…just not the same as the domestic ones.”

“Did he say what he was going to do?”

“Decoration, that’s what he said, although I don’t know what’s so beautiful about this goat horn, but he’s willing to pay, and of course I’m willing to sell it.”

Used for decoration? I’m afraid it’s just an excuse, these farm workers all live together, the house is unified, to say that the middle class people in order to adjust their lives, give the house wildness to buy a hanging, Donald letter, a farm worker, spend half a month’s salary , buy a wild goat horn, and then spend money to carve it?

Of course, Donald can’t rule out that Aldrich has this kind of hobby, art, regardless of the high or the low, tentatively write it down first, and then go back to the Ryffindor farm and check it again.

“Mr. Grant, I don’t think you need to ask me. Look, isn’t that Mr. Aldridge? If you have any questions, just ask him.”

“Huh?”

Turn around, Donald saw only the corners of his clothes flashing outside the store, and he charged ahead quickly, but what he saw was a silhouette running wildly in the rain, running more than ten meters away , turned directly onto the horse.

Aldrich!

“Oops, he actually came to town.”

Seeing myself stopping in this grocery store, turning around and leaving, if there is no ghost in my heart, what are you afraid of?

And he came here specially on horseback. It is very likely that he and Sherlock came to the small town of Wheat Valley after learning that he and Sherlock came to the Ryffindor farm to catch up.

The 5-year-old wild goat horn is definitely hidden.
