A large number of people returned to Baishi Town in a mighty manner.
The citizens of Baishi Town were panicked at first, but when they saw that this team was not bandits, but a humanoid convoy transporting supplies, their panic faded a lot and was replaced by curiosity. They came one after another to watch.
.
Bai Xiaowen stood on top of one of the piles of wood and gave a condescending speech.
"My people, from today on, the miserable life will be gone forever."
"Look at these people. They were once members of the Black Wind Bandits, the largest bandit gang in this town! But now they have been influenced by me, accepted my adaptation, and become glorious warriors of the Baishi Town Construction Corps. Yes, Black Wind Bandits
Ian, the leader of the Wind Bandits, has been executed, and this evil bandit group has become the dust of history!"
"This is just the beginning. Next, we will arrest and recruit more bandits and strengthen the Baishi Town Construction Corps. We will build a large number of houses for homeless refugees and vagrants to live in, and we will reclaim more land.
There will be more farmland for farmers who have lost their land to cultivate, and we will open up trade routes to allow more traveling caravans to come and trade with us in exchange for the necessities of life."
"I, Lord Dio Skelboom of Whitestone Town, will do what I say. Any citizen of Whitestone Town who has no home and endures the cold wind in the north can go to my butler Harvey and apply to build a house.
A log cabin.”
Among the crowd, silver miner Anton could no longer suppress the excitement in his heart. He came over and knelt at Bai Xiaowen's feet: "We will always remember your strength and kindness, Lord!"
Originally, Anton had a side mission to annihilate the Black Wind Bandit Group. He did not expect that Bai Xiaowen rejected the mission on the surface, but actually rushed to the cliff mine overnight to take down the rampant Black Wind Bandit Group in one fell swoop.
Down.
After receiving Anton's favorability reminder, Bai Xiaowen jumped off the wood pile, nodded and said: "Harvey, Anton, a worker at Baishi Silver Mine, recently had his home burned down by the Black Wind bandits, so he was the first household to apply to build a wooden house.
family."
Harvey had already recovered from his surprise and replied loudly: "Yes, Lord. Mr. Anton will definitely own the strongest wooden house in Whitestone Town."
Anton was so excited that tears filled his eyes. He knelt down and kissed Bai Xiaowen's shoes.
Following Anton's example, other residents came forward one after another and applied to build wooden houses. For a while, Harvey was in a hurry.
Some people in the territory boldly said: "Lord, we have no food and have to endure hunger every day. Can you exchange the wooden houses for us with food?"
Kitts glared and said: "You are not satisfied with the gift from the lord, why are you bargaining here?"
Bai Xiaowen had already known about this, raised his hand with a smile and said: "Don't be nervous, there will be wooden houses, and there will be food. Any local citizen who is in good health can apply to join the Baishi Town Construction Corps and work in exchange for rations!
"
There are currently five teams under the "Construction Corps", all of which are bandits and have a single composition. Bai Xiaowen plans to recruit a group of local people and fill them into the Construction Corps, so that they can use them more safely.
In the near future, Bai Xiaowen has formulated a development strategy, which is to support war with war, incorporate other bandit dens, and use captured money to purchase food to support troops.
This method is of course not a long-term solution. Once the bandit dens are cleared out, the territory of Baishi Town, which lacks continuous income, will definitely fall into the dilemma of money and food shortages, but that will be many days later.
Besides, after Bai Xiaowen has recruited a certain number of troops, he plans to go to the Black Rock Defense Line. After joining the Human Alliance Army, will he still worry about having no food? Non-existent.
After this speech, the lord Bai Xiaowen gained a lot of popularity in Baishi Town, and his lord page also changed.
The population column has increased from the original 7 to 183, and the number is still rising. This means that more and more people are willing to obey his orders and be radiated by his influence.
In the building materials column, the number displayed is 36, which is the timber materials dismantled from the Black Wind Bandit Group's camp. After inquiry, the number of "36" means that it is enough to build 36 wooden houses.
The food column has increased to 783. This is also the food stock brought back from the Black Wind Bandit Group's camp to supply the needs of the construction corps. It will last for a few days. Of course, now we have to consider buying food.
The popular support column has been raised to 15. Bai Xiaowen couldn't help but sigh a little, the people are really easily satisfied.
The habitability suddenly increased to 13, a full increase of ten points. This is enough to show the great influence of the Black Wind Bandit Group on the territory of White Rock Town.
What remains unchanged is the prosperity, which is still only 5 points. However, when the grain trade line is established, caravans will come, and the prosperity will definitely increase.
Bai Xiaowen left Kits, Bonita, Harvey and others to take charge of the order. He and Li Shuyi entered the lord's house. The treasure chest that killed Ian and his elite bandits has not yet been opened.
Bai Xiaowen first opened Ian's gold treasure chest.
The battle score is A, there are ten gold cards in total, and there are three chances to draw without byes.
However, before the extraction, Bai Xiaowen got the prompt message:
"You have obtained a special item: Ian's journal. This item will definitely drop and will not be included in the loot draw list."
Bai Xiaowen narrowed his eyes.
"This bandit leader Ian is indeed no ordinary bandit. He has a hidden agenda."
Bai Xiaowen opened the log and browsed it briefly.
On the title page of the diary, there is a paragraph written:
[I, Ian Benedict, swear to be forever loyal to the Holy Light and to practice the ways of chivalry until the end of my life.]
Li Shuyi frowned: "This passage... is really strange. When Ian became a thief, didn't you feel ashamed when you looked at this diary every day?"
Bai Xiaowen turned back the page.
A lot of the diary was torn up, and the remaining pages contained records of robbing a certain place on a certain day of the month. However, when he looked closely at the records, Bai Xiaowen discovered some doubts.
For example, on one page, the date is October 16, 982 in the Kane calendar:
【Blackthorn Farm has a big problem.】
[I raided the Blackthorn Farm and detected a batch of plague grains. I burned the plague grains and returned. No spreaders were found.]
Another example is the third to last page, the date is January 7, 983 in the Cairn calendar.
[The Shiraishi Silver Mine is suspected.]
[Raid the White Rock Silver Mine, detected the miners, and found two guards infected by the undead plague. 】
[I killed the guards, burned the silver mine house, and returned.]
On the next page, there were just some scribbles, which were then heavily crossed out.
The crossed-out sentences are identified as follows: [I don’t know if this makes sense. I just feel that I am getting farther and farther away from the Holy Light and the way of knighthood.]
At the back, Ian wrote another line with force:
[Archbishop Arlo is not wrong. I regret my doubts. I will work hard to fulfill the oaths of myself and the other six compatriots and investigate the source of the undead plague. 】
【The glory of Heifeng will always be in my heart.】
After flipping through the log, suddenly, a message prompting the rules of the spirit world was sent to the two of them at the same time.
"[Heroic side mission step 1: The truth about the plague] is started."
"Mission goal: Investigate the truth about the undead plague and find the real spreader."
"Task difficulty: b."
"Mission period: 10 days."
"Task reward: unknown."
The expressions of Bai Xiaowen and Li Shuyi changed at the same time, a heroic mission! This is the first time they have encountered it.
Li Shuyi said in confusion: "What's going on? After reading the log, it made me even more confused. What is the undead plague? Is Ian a good guy or a bad guy?"
Bai Xiaowen sorted out his thoughts and said:
"My previous questions have basically been answered. In fact, Ian is a knight of the Holy Light Holy See. He did not defect, but actively disguised himself as a robber. In order to investigate this man's name
The truth about the undead plague'."
Li Shuyi frowned: "Why did he pretend to be a robber?"
Bai Xiaowen speculated: "Perhaps it is to facilitate movement. According to the records in the log and Anton's previous remarks, I can judge that the people and grains infected by the undead plague should have an incubation period for a period of time, and there is no problem.
, but it can be detected in some way... and the next step is to burn the grain and kill the infected. In the eyes of many people, it means killing innocent humans, which is incomprehensible."
Li Shuyi understood: "As a knight of the Holy Light Church, Ian is not allowed to search casually, let alone kill civilians, and is restricted at every turn. But since he pretends to be a robber, he has no such scruples and will not damage the reputation of the Holy Light Church.
.”
Bai Xiaowen nodded and said: "Yes, there are six more people like him who have changed their identities, and they should be scattered throughout Northern Xinjiang. Hei Feng is their code name."
"Oh... I killed a good person by mistake." Li Shuyi was a little annoyed.
Bai Xiaowen smiled bitterly and shook his head: "During the war, who would have known that he was a good person? For the sake of the reputation of the Holy Light Holy See, he will definitely not tell his true identity. There is only one way to go to the dark side."
"Then... do you want to take this heroic side mission?" Li Shuyi asked.
"If you accept the mission, you should be able to extract Ian's props for detecting the undead plague from the treasure box." Bai Xiaowen thought for a while, "Take it, there is no reason not to do it if you dig out the hero-level mission, not to mention this is a continuous
The rewards for tasks are generally quite generous.”
After both of them accepted the "Truth of the Plague" mission, they began to draw loot cards. As Bai Xiaowen had guessed, the first item they drew was the "Plague Detector", which was a monocle with a faint glow on the frame.
light.
[Plague Detector: A special prop. Within 60 seconds after activation, people or things infected by the undead plague can be seen. After each use, it requires 10 minutes of prayer to recharge, and can only be recharged once a day.
The current number of uses is 0/1.】
"This thing has a lot of limitations. It can only be used for 60 seconds after 10 minutes of charging, and it can only be charged once a day... No wonder Ian has been busy for several months without making any progress." Bai Xiaowen shook his head and tried to charge it.
Prompt message: "You do not have faith in the Holy Light and cannot recharge."
"If I go, I need a dedicated interface..." Bai Xiaowen complained, "Fortunately, I kidnapped a trainee knight, otherwise I wouldn't be able to complete this mission."
Next, there are two more chances to draw from Ian's treasure chest, and Bai Xiaowen and Li Shuyi decided to take one each.
Li Shuyi drew first, and when the card was turned around, it was a necklace. The high-end and classy golden light slowly faded away.
[Additional skills: Sanctuary: Call upon the Holy Light to form a shield of light surrounding your body, which lasts for 30 seconds. The absorption amount of the shield is your constitution*2. The cooling time is 24 hours. 】
[Durability: 40/40]
[Explanation: Every knight of the Black Blade Judge has an unparalleled firm belief.]
"Excellent necklace." Bai Xiaowen commented and gave Li Shuyi a thumbs up.
Some gold equipment adds attribute points, and some have additional skills. Generally speaking, gold equipment that adds about 5 attribute points can be considered the best.
Of course, although Li Shuyi's [Feathering Necklace] has no additional attributes, it has an extremely practical life-saving skill and is also considered top-notch equipment.
And this necklace [Judge's Determination] not only adds 3 points of physical fitness, but also has a practical shield skill! Although the cooldown time of the skill is up to 24 hours, which is a bit long, it can still be regarded as a super-quality equipment, compared to [
The value of the Feathering Necklace is higher than lower.
Li Shuyi smiled sweetly: "I have a necklace, so I'll give you this necklace... That dog collar of yours is so ugly, change it quickly."
Bai Xiaowen put on the [Judge's Determination] necklace with a smile, and his physical fitness reached 20 points, which was comparable to a level 3 tank profession, not to mention a skill with a shield value of 40 points.
For the last draw, Bai Xiaowen clicked on the card.
"You have obtained a special prop: Broken Oath."
Li Shuyi took a look and suddenly exclaimed: "Team building props!"
[Broken Oath: Allows the awakened person to establish a temporary team to explore the spiritual world together. The number of people in the team shall not exceed (2), and the level of the awakened person shall not exceed (6). After an exploration of the spiritual world plane, the team will automatically
Disband. The prop disappears after use.】
"It's just a temporary team building prop. It's limited to level 6, which is pretty good." Bai Xiaowen quickly judged the value of this item. "Considering maximizing profits, it should save the need for two level 6 heroes to form a team."
The power points... are 48,000 points. Of course, usually there will not be such a big benefit. For the two of us, using it at level 6 can save about 36,000 power points."
"It's already amazing, more than 30,000." Li Shuyi's eyes narrowed as she smiled.
