Everyone checked everywhere in the village and asked the villagers to understand the situation, but found nothing unusual.
After regrouping, Reinhard said doubtfully: "No one's behavior is abnormal. Who is the poisoner?"
"Let's find out the cause of the poisoning first!" Renn advised him. "If we find out how the villagers were poisoned, we might be able to get clues."
"In a large-scale event like this, if it's not direct poisoning, it's most likely going to be food and water!" Christine came over and said.
"Village chief, take us to check each kitchen." Reinhard ordered decisively.
"Yes!" The village chief personally led the team to assist Reinhardt in investigating the matter.
I carefully checked the kitchens of many villagers and found that the food was all right, so the only possibility was the water source!
Ren's perspective is different from others. When he focuses on something, he can view detailed information.
Before, those foods were labeled "normal", but when he focused on the bucket in the corner of the kitchen, which looked fine, the prefix "poisonous" appeared in front of his eyes.
"The water is poisonous!" he told Reinhard immediately.
"Everyone, please don't get close. Water contaminated by devil's vine will be poisoned just by touching it." Reinhardt immediately ordered, "Go to other villagers' homes to investigate whether there is really a problem with the water source."
Investigating various kitchens together, Ren found that the water contained in containers by most villagers was highly toxic, and told Reinhard this discovery.
Reinhard immediately called the village chief and said to him: "Where do you usually get water? Maybe someone deliberately poisoned the water source."
The village chief was frightened when he heard this and quickly replied: "There is only one available water source nearby, which is at the foot of the mountain in the south."
"Go over and have a look!"
"Yes!" The village chief led the way and left the village with Reinhard and others, arriving at the foot of the mountain south of the village.
There is a pond at the foot of the mountain. It doesn't look big, so it's no problem for the villagers to use it for daily use.
The water in the pond is very clear, but Ren can see the "toxic" prefix, indicating that the water here is also polluted!
"How's it going?" Reinhard came over to ask, because Renn directly pointed out that there was a problem with the water, which should be the result of the power given by God.
"The water source is polluted and highly toxic!" Ren replied.
The village chief's expression changed instantly: "This is the only source of water. How can we live without it?"
"Are there no other water sources nearby?" Reinhard asked him.
"Your Highness, we are short of water here and we only have this pond!" the village chief replied, "Can you please ask the priest to clean the pond for us and restore it to its original state?"
"Ask Bishop Jerug!" Reinhard ordered to his confidants.
"Yes!" Reinhard's men immediately returned to the village to find Yerug who was treating the poisoned villagers.
He himself, together with Lane and others, carefully investigated around the pond and looked for clues.
Ren used the system function to check carefully, and soon discovered that there were many existences called devil vines on the west side of the pond, mixed among ordinary plants, and quickly reminded Reinhard: "There are a lot of devil vines here, pay attention to safety!"
"Are you saying that the devil's vine grows on the edge of the pond and it's not like someone put it into the water?" Reinhard asked in surprise.
"That's right!" Ren pointed to the lush grass beside the pond, where there were many devil vines.
"Your Highness, maybe it wasn't someone who deliberately poisoned the place, but the devil vine appeared here unexpectedly for some unknown reason!" One of Reinhard's accompanying subordinates said to him.
"No!" Reinhard shook his head in denial, "It's not that simple. The thing from the abyss cannot appear out of nowhere. I'm afraid someone deliberately planted it here, and there must be some ulterior secret!"
"Indeed, things from the abyss will not appear without reason." Kristen nodded, "It's just that there are no other clues except the devil vine. The person behind the scenes is not simple!"
"The Devil's Vine is very dangerous and should not be contacted at close range. It is very poisonous!" Reinhardt turned to Virut, "General Virut, take your people with you and burn down the Devil's Vine while ensuring your own safety. Immediately
action!"
"Yes!" Virut immediately summoned his dwarf army, prepared torches and went to the west side of the pond, igniting all nearby plants to burn out the devil vines.
They know very little about devil's vine and think that any plant, even if it comes from the abyss, can be destroyed by fire.
It was found that the normal plants were burned to ashes, but the devil's vine remained unchanged in the fire.
This situation made Reinhardt and everyone at the scene look shocked at the same time. They couldn't believe that there were plants that could remain motionless and unaffected by the fire.
Virut and his dwarf soldiers were also surprised because they didn't know much about things in the abyss. They had only heard of the name Devil Vine and had no idea that it could withstand fire.
In order to eradicate them, Virut walked forward with his soldiers and wanted to eliminate them directly by chopping them. As a result, during the chopping process, several dwarf soldiers were poisoned and fell to the ground struggling in pain.
Reinhard was frightened, and quickly asked Virut to retreat, and asked him to take the poisoned soldiers to the village to find Yerug for treatment to prevent them from being poisoned and dying.
After Virut returned to the village, Reinhardt's confidant rushed back to the pond to report to him: "Your Highness, Master Yerug asked me to send a message. He can barely cure the villagers who were poisoned by the devil's vine, but he can't purify the water source! Possession
The only person with powerful purification magic is Lord Spike, the Holy Light Bishop of the Andrea Empire."
"Can't purify the water source? It seems that we have to give up here." Reinhardt frowned, "But this poisonous water will always exist, and the devil vine cannot be burned. When the time comes, it will stretch outwards, and the consequences will be disastrous!"
"Your Highness, our ancestors have been here for generations, please help us!" the village chief begged, obviously not wanting to lead the villagers to flee their hometown.
Reinhard had a headache. This matter was not trivial. Even Bishop Jerug could not purify the water source, and the devil vines could not be eradicated. Even if they were touched at close range through clothes, they would be poisoned. What should I do?
He turned his attention to Renn, hoping that this being with "god-given power" would give him a solution.
Ren thought carefully and did not disappoint Reinhard: "I have a way to get rid of these devil vines, and maybe I can also solve the water source problem."
"Oh? Do you have any idea?" Reinhard asked hurriedly.
"I can try!" Ren replied.
"Devil's vine is not a joke, is it really okay?" Charlotte next to her was worried and reminded in a low voice.
"Don't worry!" Renn took out a shovel and walked straight to the location covered with devil vines.
All he has to do is destroy the dirt blocks with devil vines growing on them. As long as he doesn't come into contact with this poisonous plant, there should be no problem.
Sure enough, Ren used the shovel to dig out the dirt blocks. Every time a block was destroyed, he immediately got a dirt block and devil vine.
Because it is directly entered into the virtual backpack, no touching is required, and Renn is not poisoned.
