Kebi began to explain, "The wood used by Jatu when attacking the city was cut down outside Black Forest. Now the outside of Black Forest has been chopped clean, and if the woodcutter wants to get the wood, he can only continue to go deeper."
"I understand." Dick nodded, "Do you want me to eradicate that Leshen?"
"I... don't mean that now. Let's think about it again." Kebi replied.
"By the way, there are still some Jatu bandits who have gone somewhere. And we don't have enough troops now, so we can't go out hastily.
"Even if Queen Meve left us some of Order of the Falcon's knights, this power is only enough to guard Odinburg.
"So Dick, if you stay away from Odinburg, you should also be careful when executing the commission."
"I understand, that's it. I'm going to look for a demon hunting mission now."
After saying that, Dick stood up directly and walked out of the castle.
"Then I wish you a safe journey." The two laughed.
Dick waved his hand gently to say goodbye.
Opening the door and walking to the gate of Odinburg, I met another acquaintance.
"It's a disaster, it's a disaster, Master Dick." Sheriff O'Neill looked anxious.
"What happened? O'Neill, is there another Foglet?"
"No, this time it's not Master Foglet, Dick. You already cleaned them up yesterday.
"The problem this time is that the river near our fishing village is clogged with corpses. The corpses are slowly disappearing."
"Isn't this a good thing? You don't have to go downstream to find new fishing spots."
"But those corpses were eaten by the newly emerged Drowner. One Drowner reached out from the middle of the river and directly pulled the corpses into the water.
"I don't know if it's because of the war, but there are more Drowner.
"And now besides those Drowner, there are other monsters."
"What kind of monster? Tell me." Dick asked with raised eyebrows.
"That monster looks like an old lady, with a stooped waist."
I'm afraid it's Broom Witch again?
Dick's expression turned serious, "Then is she holding a broom in her hand?"
"I didn't bring a broom. I was dirty all over, and I was holding a dirty black crutch in my hand."
Dick immediately understood what kind of monster he was talking about, it should be Water Hag.
Although Water Hag and Broom Witch are both called witches, they are completely different types of monsters.
The former belongs to [Necrophages], while the latter belongs to [Relicts].
Water Hag are generally not tall. They mainly rely on controlling the mud around the river bank to attack. They can wave their crutches to cover their prey's face with mud, blocking their sight, or they can summon Earth Elemental to form a mud ball as big as a fist to attack their prey.
Generally speaking, its aggressiveness is not too strong. It mainly commands Drowner and assists Drowner during the battle.
Therefore, if you want to deal with Drowner, it is best to kill it first, because it is equivalent to the external brain of Drowner.
"I understand, then this is also considered a monster hunting commission?"
"It's a demon hunting commission. I understand the rules. But Master Dick, you also know that there have been wars in the past few days, and many people have died. We don't have that much money. What do you think the villagers have pooled together 30 Kelang?"
"I accepted this commission." Dick took Kelang and put it in his pocket, and then returned to the fishing village west of Odinburg with O'Neill.
Seeing Dick's arrival, several young fishermen quickly looked respectful. "Master Dick, I'm troubling you again. Please eradicate the monsters as soon as possible."
O'Neill on the side waved his hand and said, "Don't disturb Master Dick, just go about your own business."
A young man muttered, "I make a living by fishing, and now the river is blocked, what else can I do?"
But despite saying this, several young men moved their steps and planned to go home.
At this time, Dick spoke, "Wait a minute, I need your help with something."
O'Neill looked surprised and quickly reminded, "Dick, they are just ordinary fishermen and cannot help you deal with those monsters."
"Don't worry, I won't put them in danger. Just hear me out, okay?"
"Okay."
O'Neill was really worried that someone else would die in the village, so he felt relieved when Dick said this.
Several young men turned around with excitement. "That's great, we can actually help Master Dick. Master Dick, please feel free to give us your orders."
"Let's go to the top of the hill first."
After a while, these five or six people came to the hillside to look down.
There were several bloated floating corpses floating around in the center of the river bank, their bodies chewed to the point of disfigurement.
On the shore, there were seven or eight Drowner wandering back and forth blindly, like a group of idle street wanderers.
Near the Drowner group on the shore, there was an old woman with a stooped, dirty body and a cane - it was Water Hag.
"Have you seen that witch?"
"I saw it, Master Dick." A fisherman replied, "The dirty old lady appeared out of nowhere and was mixed with Drowner."
"It's also a monster, don't underestimate it just because of its small size.
"These Drowners have low IQs and are disorganized in their attacks, so I can easily deal with these seven or eight Drowners.
"But with the command of Water Hag, it will be a little difficult, so I need you..."
"Kill that Water Hag?" a fisherman answered excitedly.
"What a fool." Dick whispered in Chinese.
"Master Dick, are you saying a spell?" the fisherman asked strangely.
Dick shook his head helplessly, "I need you to attract those Drowner. Of course I don't want you to get close. By the way, which one of you can use a bow and arrow or a short crossbow?"
The fishermen shook their heads one after another. Just when Dick was a little disappointed, one of the fishermen replied, "Master Dick, we are fishermen. We usually use harpoons when fishing. Although we don't know how to use bows and arrows, we are good at throwing."
"Great, you will do this later..." Dick then ordered in a low voice.
Beside the river bank, Drowner people walked around repeatedly after eating and drinking.
One of them, Drowner, was leisurely thinking about life with its marble-like walnut kernels when a harpoon passed by.
Then human laughter came from a distance, and we looked in the direction.
On a high slope dozens of meters away, three fishermen were pointing at him and laughing loudly.
This Drowner got angry out of instinct and was about to chase after him, but was stopped by the old woman with a hoarse voice behind him.
This witch was originally the leader of Drowner. Drowner suppressed her anger and ignored the provocations of the fishermen.
But just as he turned his head, another stone passed by, then a third, a fourth...
And the fishermen smashed not just one Drowner, but this group.
Even the usually serious Sheriff O'Neill was helping throw stones.
