Conquering alien worlds starts from the game

Different from the incident of "Red Wall Farm" which was checked clearly and clearly by the night watchman before it was included in the unresolved file, and even judged that there was a sealed item causing trouble, the incident of "Mist Shadow Forest" is a standard, even the source of the incident Unsolved unsolved cases.

The Bancroft family who owned the Red Wall Farm were foreigners. After Master William was involved in a strange incident and died, the Bancroft family avoided the Red Wall Farm and were unwilling to send their children over to manage it. The low price sold this ferocious land to the Gold Coin Church. After the incident is resolved, the Gold Coin Church will be able to own a farm worth a thousand dollars for nothing. Of course, they are willing to do their best.

In contrast, most of the terrain in the Mist Shadow Forest is poor woodland on slopes that cannot be developed into fields. Of course, there is not much motivation on the side of the night watchman...not to mention that the owner has no intention of selling it at a low price, after all That was all that was left of the Corff family.

Of course, the Night Watch organization still talks about martial arts. No matter how you say it, they have indeed conducted a detailed investigation. The investigators who participated in the investigation of the incident before filing have sorted out dozens of pages of investigation reports. In the black leather book, when the church is willing to deal with it, there will be more comprehensive information to support the restart of the investigation.

In other words, the information in this black book is indeed really messy, with all kinds of information, and it seems that it has nothing to do with the incident. It is no wonder that Qin Guan usually does little writing work. (Writing video copywriting) The UP master can't stand it.

In the serious game, the task text should be written as concisely and smoothly as possible, and the important content must be marked in red fonts!In this way, there are still many players who have to run the map for a long time, and they are willing to take a serious look when they can't find the quest monster...

The entropy does not increase. This Xueba does not have the problem of "headache after reading too many words". After patiently going through all the documents, she has keenly found out the key parts of the redundant information.

"First is the seventh page." Entropy does not increase and shows the opened page to Qin Guan, "This is the record of the investigator 'Mountain Mouse''s questioning of the former lumber farm workers, see the fourth paragraph."

"Hmm..." Qin Guan leaned over impatiently, rubbing his chin to read the words on it.

"... Carl: I don't know, sir, our day job is very tiring, and at night we just want to sleep and have no energy to run around."

"Then how did you know someone was here at night?"

"Carl: Because the rope I put on the tree stump is missing. It is the hemp rope made by old Hume. It is more than four meters long. The squirrels and foxes in the mountains will not steal this thing."

"Who do you think stole the rope?"

"Carl: Who knows? It's really annoying. There are clumps of wild hemp growing in the ravine over there, so why can't you rub it yourself?"

"Has anyone from the nearby villages ever stolen from the lumberyard?"

"Carl (he suddenly became excited): Yes! Sir! Last month, someone who came to the mountains to collect firewood stole the machete that Old Hume forgot to take back, and even the broken saw blade was left silently. Instead of blaming the thieves who stole the sheep, the foreman made us responsible for the lost things and deducted our wages!"

"People from nearby villages will come to steal things from the logging camp, is this a clue?" Qin Guan asked.

There is no explanation for the lack of entropy. Turn to page No.14: "Look here again."

"...Kaludo: How could someone die in the woods? Don't listen to the nonsense of those people outside, sir, since I became the housekeeper of the Korff family 20 years ago, I have never heard of the Korff family. Something happened to the Misty Shadow Forest. As you know, I am the only butler left in the Corfu family, and there are only two servants. If something happens to the important property of the family, I will definitely know."

"Then why does the village next door say that the Mist Shadow Forest can eat people? Before the thick fog in the forest became abnormal, this saying had already been spread in the village."

"Kaludo: That's just a nonsense made up by those foolish people who are crazy, let alone someone who died, the Foggy Shadow Logging Farm has never had any major incidents worth mentioning since the Baron's father's generation, and the most serious accident is also It was just a worker who accidentally cut off his own toe a few years ago."

"What about the worker who lost his toe?"

"Caludo: Healed up and back to work, of course, and worked on the lumberyard until the damn fog made it impossible to work, look over there, the one in the yard has a ridiculous distiller's lees No, that's old Hume who's always blaming people."

[The recorder called Old Xiumu into the living room, asked him to take off his shoes to check, and confirmed that it was correct. 】

"Kaludo: These workers have been working for the Korff family for four or five years. Although the forest farm cannot be started, the Baron still decided to continue to pay the workers the minimum wage. I hope you can help out because the Baron is so kind. Help the Corffs, Mister Mountain Rat."

"I will do my best, Steward Kaludo."

Qin Guan carefully read the section where the entropy does not increase and showed him, but he still didn't understand what the clue was, and looked at the entropy not increasing.

Entropy does not increase, turn to page No.30, and hand the black book to Qin Guan: "This part is the inquiry of the 'Mountain Mouse' investigators to the nearby villages. You can read the next few pages together."

Qin Guan had no choice but to be patient, and slowly flipped through the black book in his hand.

The content of the second page of No.30 is as follows:

"... Weber: I'm not lying, sir, it's true, there really are monsters that cannibalize people in the Misty Shadow Forest!"

"Have you seen it with your own eyes, what does that monster look like?"

"Weber: Strong as a bear, with a nimble tail like a leopard, a head as big as a millstone, and teeth longer than a child's legs, although I didn't see it with my own eyes, but the hunter did, and he told us so of!"

"I asked the hunter in your village. He has never told anyone that he saw monsters in the forest over there. He said that the bigger prey in this area of ​​the Misty Glade are only rabbits and foxes. You have to turn over the other side. You can only see wild deer if you have to climb a mountain, and if you want to hunt a wild boar, you have to climb at least two mountains."

"Weber (he blushes and stutters): This, this, these, I actually heard from the drunkard Mike, he said that these are what the hunter told him when he invited the hunter to drink...Damn, this guy usually I'm so stingy that I have to go to other people's fields to pull shallots to make soup, how could I be willing to invite others to drink, this bastard must be bragging and fooling me!"

The contents of the three pages of No.30 are as follows:

"... Needham: It's all idlers in the village talking to pass the time when they are bored. A few years ago, when the Baron Korff's family started working on the Misty Shadow Forest, not many people cared about that end. My young From time to time, I went to pick up some firewood, but I never encountered anything that could scare people."

"Have you been in the forest over there during the years when the lumber mill was open?"

"Needam: Around the planting festival, I will go to pick some mushrooms and find some wild vegetables. In autumn, I will also go around there to see if the wild sorbets have grown well. Master Jeff's second wife likes to use those wild sorbets. When making fruit wine, they will generously exchange salt with the wild pears we picked.”

"Does Mr. Robert Jeff often live in the village?"

"Needham: I come back to live for a month or two every year. Most of the time I live in the city. Usually, only Mrs. Jeff lives in the big house of Jeff's house. We are close to the city, and Mrs. Jeff often goes back to the city. She is very kind and willing to let the villagers give her a ride every time she goes to the city."

"Major Needham, do you think Robert Jeff is a benevolent lord?"

"Needham: Of course, sir. Since our village was transferred to Master Jeff's fief more than ten years ago, we don't have to be tossed about every year when we pay the autumn tax."

Qin Guan was startled when he saw this part: "Damn it? The lord of a village? Is the lord so worthless?"

"It's a family knight entrusted by the local nobles." Entropy does not increase, "Robert Jeff is a family knight of the Darcy family. Viscount Darcy bought a village for this knight. In the last few pages of the list of related parties There is an introduction."

Qin Guan hurriedly turned to the back, and sure enough, he saw the name Robert Jeff in the list of suspected related persons listed by the investigator "Mountain Mouse", and there was a long list of background information under the name.

Regardless of whether the overall ethos of the Gold Coin Church is based on gold coins, the Night Watch organization still pays attention to details. Investigator "Mountain Rat" not only listed the background of Robert Jeff, who had personally investigated it, but also analyzed why the fief In Kane Town, Viscount Darcy's family did not allocate a piece of land to "Master Jeff" on their own land, but bought a village on someone else's land——

To put it simply, "Mountain Mouse" thinks that the Darcy family intends to focus on cultivating Robert Jeff, and wants to support this family knight to strive for the top and compete with the colff family who occupies the title but is on the verge of collapse—— Around the Misty Woodland The countryside in this area was originally the fiefdom of the Korff family, so people in this area take it for granted that they go to the Misty Shadow Forest to gather firewood and hunt, because the people in this area originally had to pay taxes to the Korff family. It's all other people's property.

Theoretically, there is nothing directly "owning" their little nobles in the tax paid by the people in the fief, because [-]% of the tax stipulated by the Rhine Kingdom law belongs to the church, [-]% to the king, and [-]% to the local big lord, such as Adela III before, now Rex.

But, when the people in the fief want to pay the autumn tax, they can only sell the grain to the little nobles who directly "own" them, and then use the money from the grain sales to pay the tax. There is a lot of room for manipulation here... Local officials of the Huaxia feudal dynasty They dared to openly play kicks and fights when harvesting grain. These little nobles without supervision could do whatever they wanted.

When Rex said that he didn’t want his part of the tax, he was actually “forcing” Yang Qiu not to take off the skin of the Westem people and suck the blood of the Westem people when collecting taxes...

Qin Guan carefully read the introduction of Robert Jeff, the knight lord, and turned a few more pages to read the information of other people.

Other suspected related persons, such as the Korff family, the housekeeper of the Korff family, the foreman of the lumber mill, the workers, the village head of the hunter village that "Mountain Rat" mainly questioned, etc., were all found out by this investigator by running errands. However, none of them are as detailed as Robert Jeff’s introduction, and they are so accurate that there are even several mistresses (little wives).

"So, the investigator 'Mountain Mouse' suspects that Robert is the key person?" Qin Guan's eyes lit up.

"The investigator should not be sure. He didn't find any evidence." Entropy Buzhang shook his head, "Otherwise this investigation report would not be pointless and list all the information in detail."

"Anyway, you think Robert is the key person, right!" Qin Guan didn't bother to think deeply.

"I do have this idea, but my starting point is different from that of the investigator 'Mountain Mouse'. Of course, I have no evidence, so it's hard to say." No increase in entropy, he nodded first, then shook his head, "In short, we try to find Look for that 'rope', if you can find this missing 'rope', half of the mission will be solved this time."

Qin Guan broke out in a cold sweat at that time: "Hey, don't be joking, sister, do you think how big this place is, and finding a rope in such a big forest? It's too foolish!"

"You don't need to search all of them, just look around the lumber camp... well, within 200... [-] meters." Entropy Buchan raised his head and looked in front of the crowd, "Here we are, that's the lumber camp, right?"

At the end of the path, on a slightly flat open space, there were a few solitary log cabins, and a few piles of logs that were too late to be transported away, and were randomly placed in the sunny place.
