Vanessa trembled all over and immediately released his hold on his mother's hand, while Yuanyuan immediately rushed over to protect Vanessa behind him.
"What's wrong with you? I want to eat domestic chicken, isn't it allowed?" Lady Amara said hesitantly.
"It's okay," Dick said in a deep voice, "Would you like to eat it raw or cooked?"
"Of course it's cooked, so why do people eat raw? Isn't that what wild animals do?"
Dick looked at Vanessa. The two looked at each other and smiled, knowing that Lady Amara was completely fine.
"Then I will ask the servant to tell the cook to stew a pot full of chicken for you now." Vanessa said happily.
"Wait a minute."
"What's wrong, Dick?"
"Lady Amara can eat chicken if she wants, but she should put less oil and make it lighter. And she hasn't eaten formally for a few days, she just ate some... In short, she should eat less and more on the first day."
"Thank you for the reminder." Then Vanessa shouted, "Maid."
A maid came in outside the door. After Vanessa gave her orders, she turned and left.
Vanessa looked at Lady Amara with uneasiness, "Mom, besides the bone pain, do you feel any discomfort?"
"Not really, but I feel very energetic now."
Then, Lady Amara got up from the bed and stood barefoot on the ground.
She told everyone, "I always feel that my body seems to be much softer and my muscles and bones have stretched a lot."
Ignoring everyone's surprised looks, he raised his right leg high and sat on the ground with his legs in a straight line.
"Mother!" Vanessa said in shock.
Lady Amara put his hands on the ground, stood up slowly, and smiled sheepishly at everyone:
"I just felt I could do this move, but I didn't expect it to happen."
Dick smiled and said:
"This is a blessing in disguise. Now your body is more flexible, your qi and blood will be stronger, and your body will recover better.
"What's more, stretching your arms and legs more every day can prolong your life and delay aging."
"Slows down aging! Really? That's great."
After a while, several people were at the dining table in the lobby on the first floor. They saw Lady Amara eating a small bowl full of chicken, and his face became slightly rosy.
Dick then stood up and said:
"Well, everyone, the matter is over and it's time for me to leave."
"Dick, I'll see you off in person." Lady Amara had already put on some decent clothes and stood up and said.
"That's fine." Dick did not refuse, and several people sent him to the courtyard of the castle.
Just as he was about to lead the horse away, a soldier rushed in from outside the courtyard in a panic, ran to Lady Amara, and shouted anxiously, "My lady is not good, something happened in the silver mine."
"What happened?" Madam stood up straight, no longer as friendly as she had been to Dick, but with a majestic air.
"All the miners in the silver mines are going to rebel!"
"Don't be anxious, speak slowly." Vanessa on the side comforted.
After hearing what the young lady said, the soldier wiped the sweat from his forehead, adjusted his breathing, and slowly said:
"Madam, were you not possessed by an evil spirit three days ago..."
"Don't say any more." Vanessa said quickly, looking at his mother with some worry.
"Don't worry, my dear, I remembered everything just now while eating.
"The crawling on the ceiling wasn't a hallucination, it was me being possessed by a demon."
"Mother..."
"It doesn't matter. I am Duke Amara's wife. I have never seen any big storms. This kind of thing will not hinder me at all.
"And didn't Dick also say that?"
Lady Amara looked at Dick again, "After being possessed this time, I also got benefits. My energy and blood will be stronger. This is a good thing, isn't it?"
Then she looked at the soldier in front of her. "Keep talking."
"Yes, madam, you were possessed by a demon in the mine three days ago. In the past few days, we have been directing the miners to continue mining while you were away. However, the demon's kin emerged from the depths of the mine, and there were twenty or thirty of them."
"You're saying there are plenty of possible possessed demons out there to show up again."
Dick asked with a frown, while secretly thinking:
If a large number of people are possessed, no matter how powerful you are, you won't be able to do it, and you will be in trouble.
"Who is this?"
"His name is Dick, he is a master demon hunter. He is the one who exorcised the demon for me."
"Oh! Master Dick, no, that's not what I meant. It's just that spiders similar to those that burrowed into Madam's ears appeared again."
"Purple and brown on the body?"
"Yeah."
"How big is it?"
The soldier made a shape with his hands, "It's as big as a stool."
"How do these spiders attack miners?"
"They will first hide in the shadowed corner of the mine, insidiously spitting out a spider web from their mouthparts, entangling the miners and sticking them to the ground.
"Then the spider Monster will approach the miners and bite them with the disgusting claws on their heads. After that, the miners will faint and then be dragged deep into the mine. We have already had five miners disappear because of this."
"It should be [Arachas], not a demon, and the 'big pincers' you are talking about are [Arachas]'s chelicerae, which can secrete venom to paralyze prey."
With a simple explanation, Dick signaled the soldier to continue.
"Yes, Master Dick.
"Although this happened, aren't we worried about the progress of mining? So...
"So you continue to let the miners mine silver in this dangerous mine."
"That's right."
"Didn't I give instructions before that mining should be temporarily stopped if there is an accident?" Lady Amara on the side asked.
The soldier quickly bent down and said respectfully:
"Madam, we are currently in a tight situation on the front line and urgently need the output of these silver mines.
"And those miners are all criminals. They are trying to atone for their sins. Even if they die for this, they have contributed to Northern Kingdoms."
"Absurd!"
Lady Amara said sternly, "Although these people are criminals, they are also human beings. Everyone is equal. Why can't you treat them as compatriots?"
"... Yes, that's what you said." The soldier lowered his head and did not dare to refute.
As for his views on Madam's concept of "everyone is equal", no one knows.
"Then Dick, can you go with us now?" Lady Amara said again.
"Okay."
"Dick, I may trouble you again this time.
"After I negotiate with those miners later, I would like to trouble you to deal with [Arachas] in the mine."
The soldier raised his head again and said eagerly, "Yes, Master Dick, you have to deal with those [Arachas] quickly."
"As soon as a war breaks out, a steady stream of crowns will be consumed, and this silver mine is one of the three major mineral veins in the north, and the production of many crowns depends on it."
"Okay, let's set off now."
