Tribulation of Mysteries - Chapter 1107

[Chapter 1104 Diary (1800 2000 supplement)]

[I decided to start writing a diary. Uh, the paper is a bit expensive, but Aunt Sophia gave me a discount…]

[Well, the rye beer in the pub is really low quality. I don’t know how much water is mixed in it… No, how much alcohol is mixed in the water… But Winnie’s waist is really coquettish. I decided to go again next time…]

[I’m dying. Baron Lancaster’s subjects don’t have any sense of time. They don’t know what year it is now… I can only count from the day Baron Lancaster became a baron. So now is the ninth year of his appointment. It’s the month of sowing. Nothing happened today…]

[The month of sowing, on the 12th, another guest arrived. The other party had diarrhea due to drinking raw water, and was bled to death by an unscrupulous doctor… Fortunately, the other party’s family gave a generous tip and chose a good grave for him.]

[Go to the pub…]

[Go to the pub…]

[I found that there was a new waitress in the pub. Winnie seemed a little jealous…]

[No money, start working hard… No wonder! I found a wooden sword and started to find my previous skills… Maybe I can dig a few graves to see if there are any buried weapons? 】

【It’s a hot summer month, it’s so hot… The tomb-robbing plan is in progress, just to be on the safe side… I deliberately boasted that a certain unlucky guy was buried with a bag full of silver coins as a burial object, people are always greedy… Tonight, someone will come to rob the tomb. 】

【Continued from the previous article, at night, there were indeed tomb robbers, and then… that ghoul appeared again! I am completely sure of one thing – that ghoul has a certain pattern of action, it is guarding this cemetery! Or… those corpses! This is really an incredible thing, if it has no self-awareness, it must be raised by someone! 】

【No more tomb-robbing, depressed…】

【No money to go to the tavern, even more depressed! 】

【In the harvest month, the wheat we sowed had a bumper harvest. After all, I have mastered the technology of composting and soil fertilizer, and I know how to farm scientifically… The price of wheat this year is good, I made a fortune, and went to the blacksmith shop to buy myself an iron sword…】

【On the 17th, Baron Lancaster did not hold the harvest celebration as usual, because an unfortunate thing happened. One of his heirs just died! The burial this time was large, and many nobles and knights came… I also learned from Ivy that the baron currently has only three daughters, and is in a very embarrassing situation… This incident should have hit him hard, right? 】

【But I saw that the baron’s son died, and the people didn’t care about it at all. They were even quite happy because the harvest this year was good…】

…

【In the ten years since I became a baron, in the spring month, many old people who couldn’t survive the winter died, but not everyone has the money to buy a cemetery… Fortunately, spring is here, everything is getting better, and I can finally be a little less busy. Recently, I rarely even go to the tavern. 】

【I went for a walk near the forest and found some herbs. Through simple identification, I feel that I can create a herbal medicine discipline… I heard that the reason why those demon hunters have strong physiques, in addition to hard training, is also related to taking decoctions… Perhaps, I can also develop a decoction system for myself to strengthen my body? 】

【I really want to meet a demon hunter… Unfortunately, according to Grandpa Aisen, the oldest in town, the demon hunters are erratic, and the last time a demon hunter visited our town of Yharnam was more than 20 years ago… Well, this damn, poor, backward feudal society…】

【Summer Moon, continue to collect herbs and find small animals to test drugs…】

【Winnie is actually married, so sad… It is said that she found an honest man, I wish her a happy wedding… The new Tracy in the tavern is really good-looking, but her skin is a little darker…】

…

【After eleven years of being a noble, after countless attempts, my personal attribute panel finally recognized my herbalism and formed a skill… It is worth commemorating, and I went to the tavern to celebrate…】

【Aunt Sophia always says that I should get married, but I don’t want to find a suitable marriage partner, and I can’t find a suitable marriage partner… Ordinary women always have a little discrimination against the work of gravekeeping, and… I don’t like those village women…】

【Combined with several observations, I am more and more sure that the ghoul is raised by someone… After figuring out its behavior pattern, I think it is good to have such a guard, which makes people feel at ease. 】

【In the autumn month, I heard that there was a water ghost in the neighboring Roland territory. A passing demon hunter solved the water ghost, but when I chased him, the demon hunter had already left… This damn information transmission speed! 】

【By the way, I delayed the autumn harvest in order to chase the demon hunter. Fortunately, I found Ivy to help me. For this, I asked him three times! Three times! 】

…

【After twelve years of being a baron, the baron looks more and more old. He has been suffering from the problem of not having an heir, and his relatives are greedily eyeing his position, especially his two sons-in-law…】

【I feel the coming of the storm, maybe… It’s time to leave? 】

…

In the gravekeeper’s hut.

Aaron put down the quill pen, and on the paper, what he left was a square pictographic font, a system completely different from the local alphabetic characters, ensuring that no one who saw it could recognize what he wrote.

However, to be on the safe side, Aaron still put away the diary.

He wrote a diary for a long time, sometimes only one entry a month, and at this time it only occupied half of the diary. In fact

, a large part of it was the key herbal formula. Even

so, once it was seen by outsiders, there would be suspicion of communicating with the devil – don’t underestimate the ignorance of human beings and the fear of the unknown!

Therefore, he still hid the diary carefully.

Then, he walked outside, fetched a basin of water, and started the daily cleaning work.

In the water, a young man with ordinary features and deep contours was clearly reflected.

In this era, when approaching the age of thirty, most people look old and enter the category of middle-aged and elderly.

It is a rare thing for Aaron to be so young and energetic, as if he is always eighteen years old.

However, after washing, he habitually took out a ball of ointment from the small jar next to him and evenly applied it on his face.

This is a by-product made by Aaron when he identified herbs and developed various medicines. It is rich in herbal essences and collagen, moisturizing the skin, non-toxic and without side effects…

No, there are still some side effects.

After applying it, his skin color gradually became a little rough, with faint wrinkles and his hair slightly gray.

This is the image of a middle-aged citizen!

After doing all this, Aaron glanced at the attribute panel:

[Name: Aaron (Zorro)]

[Talent: Immortality]

[Age: 28]

[Skills: Reading and Writing (Proficient), Herbalism (Beginner), Swordsmanship (Proficient)]

…

“I picked up swordsmanship again… Now I can be considered a master of swordsmanship.”

Aaron took out the blacksmith shop to build it, spending his The iron sword with a lot of silver coins was tied with a few sword flowers.

A cold light bloomed above the sword blade.

This is a set of swordsmanship that he has rediscovered based on his native body. He is best at finding weaknesses and attacking enemies!

After a little exercise in the morning, he started to have breakfast.

The staple food for breakfast has become wheat bread, accompanied by a cup of unpleasant-smelling medicinal soup.

All the herbs in this medicinal soup were found by Aaron himself.

Is it effective?

“It’s probably better than not drinking at all… Damn it, I need a truly extraordinary book or inheritance before I can localize my knowledge… But in this whole town, there’s not even a damn book It’s hard to find…”

“The place where good things are really likely to appear is in the Baron’s castle… Recently, the Baron’s health seems to be not very good. After all, he is in his forties…”

The heir’s Disputes, coupled with his older age, have caused undercurrents throughout Lancaster territory.

This is also Aaron’s chance.

However, he was not prepared to take advantage of the chaos to attack the Baron’s castle – it was too dangerous!

He wanted to wait until the Baron’s castle was breached or in chaos, and then go to the black market to collect relevant books…

After all, he had unlimited time and was very patient.

This was also the reason why he didn’t plot against the ghoul.

As long as you don’t gamble, you will never lose!

If the boat capsizes, you will really die!

The job of a tombkeeper is very leisurely, or in other words, as long as few people die, they can fish openly.

Especially after knowing that there was a ghoul specially designed to deal with tomb robbers…

Aaron completely gave up his night patrol work.

Sleeping until dawn every day.

Then exercise, have breakfast, and then have a leisurely morning and afternoon to study herbal medicine. Then at night, there is no light, so you can only sleep – the lamp oil is basically sold by Aaron and turned into research and entertainment expenses. .

morning.

Just as Aaron was looking at the herbal jar leisurely, a slender figure came over, it was Evie!

“Zorro, here are some more of the herbs you sold last time!”

Ivey said with uncontrollable excitement on his face: “The buyers all like it and say that the medicines have allowed them to regain the youthful vitality of their youth… …Although it is only for the bed, it is still priced at one silver coin per serving.” “Oh? But I do have insufficient raw materials here, and I have to be reluctant to sell them… It’s still the same as last

time

, only five decoctions per week.”

Lun replied unhurriedly.

This kind of decoction is also a special proportion he discovered. It has the effect of ‘aphrodisiac’. Once it was launched, it was immediately well received.

This also gave him the confidence to replace his daily brown bread with whole wheat bread.

“Then remember…the Sheriff, the Town Mayor, and the Tax Collector should all take care of themselves so that they don’t trouble you…”

Aaron grabbed Evie again and taught him life lessons.

“Don’t worry…those old men all have unspeakable secrets in this regard. Once your medicine is released, there will be absolutely no problem!”

Ivey assured her, patting her chest.

Immediately, a hint of joy appeared on his face: “Zorro… I’m getting married.”

“Huh? With whom?”

Aaron looked up blankly. It had to be said that he really didn’t care much about this little friend.

“It’s… Tracey.”

Ivey lowered her voice.

Aaron immediately thought of the slightly darker-skinned waitress: “It’s her… Do you… care?”

“I don’t care…” Ivey smiled bitterly: “After all… people like us, what choice do we have?” Where is the room?”

He has inherited his father’s profession and became a corpse-carrier in the town.

If you get closer, you can even smell the body stench, which is unwelcome in many places.

But in the cemetery, he lived very comfortably – after all, the eldest brother would not laugh at the second child.

Ivey looked at Aaron: “Zorro, you are getting old soon. If you have money… you can marry a better wife and have a child… In this life, at least we will be more successful than those old bachelors, right? At least …We have successfully continued our bloodline. Even if our descendants forget us in the future, our blood will still flow in their bodies…”

There was a hint of sadness in this tone.

Aaron looked at this little friend in surprise, wondering why the other party suddenly had such an opinion?

“Isn’t it awesome? My dad taught me this.”

However, the next moment, Evie’s true colors were revealed.

Aaron sighed: “Let me think about it again… There has been a lot of chaos in the barony recently.”

“Is it a battle for the heir? I heard that Miss Lilith’s husband has the support of a viscount… If he can’t be satisfied, in the end, even There is a possibility of a war!”

Ivey’s eyes lit up: “This is not a small fight to grab a few prey. Once a war starts, how many people will die? We will be too busy…”

“So this is what you care about. Is there a problem?”

Aaron was almost speechless: “Now…it depends on the old baron’s choice. By the way, don’t we have a superior noble here to mediate?”

“I haven’t heard of it… …Isn’t it normal for a lord to want to fight? Why do you want to mediate?”

Ivey asked.

Aaron couldn’t help but remain silent.

Well, times like this are very confusing!

…

In the blink of an eye, another few months passed.

Aaron went to attend the wedding of Evie and Tracey, blessed the two of them, and specially gave a large jar of decoction as a wedding gift.

And at the onset of winter, Baron Lancaster finally made a decision!

He made Catherine Lancaster his heir!

The entire territory was suddenly enveloped in an uneasy mood.

However, Aaron didn’t care about it.

Once a war breaks out, the first target is obviously the Baron’s Castle, and the second target is the wealthy town of Yanan, where his target is very small.

As long as it is not besieged by a large force and encounters some skirmishers, I am fully capable of solving them.

He was worried about other things.

For example… I have never been able to find a witcher to ask for advice.

As for the ghoul… the other party obviously couldn’t speak and couldn’t teach him anything.

At this time, Aaron had the idea of traveling around to study after leaving.

But soon, this idea disappeared. After all, it might be more dangerous outside!

‘Will this war… be an opportunity? ‘

‘However, the demon hunters don’t seem to participate in the war. They only fight against monsters… They are also a strange group of people…’
