A large number of people returned to White Rock Town.

The people of Baishi Town were still panicked at first, but when they saw that this team was not a bandit, but a humanoid convoy transporting supplies, their panic faded a lot, and they were replaced by curiosity, and they came one after another to watch strongly.

Bai Xiaowen stood on top of one of the piles of timber and gave a condescending speech.

"My people, from this day onwards, the miserable life will be gone forever. ”

"Look at these people, they used to be members of the biggest bandit gang in town, the Black Wind Bandits! Yes, Ian, the leader of the Black Wind Bandits, has been ambushed, and this evil bandit group has become the dust of history!"

"This is just the beginning. Next, we need to capture and recruit more robbers to enrich the Baishi Town Construction Corps. We will build a large number of houses for homeless refugees and vagrants, we will open up more farmland for farmers who have lost their land to cultivate, we will open up trade routes, and more traveling caravans will come and trade with us in exchange for the necessities of life. ”

"I, Whitestone Lord Dio Skelboom, walk the talk. Any household that has no home and endures the cold winds of the Northland can go to my housekeeper, Harvey, and apply to build a wooden house. ”

In the crowd, the silver miner Anton couldn't hold back the excitement in his heart, and walked over and knelt at Bai Xiaowen's feet: "Your strength and kindness, we will always remember, Lord Lord!"

Originally, Anton had a side mission to exterminate the Black Wind Bandits. He didn't expect that Bai Xiaowen refused the task on the face, but in fact, he rushed to the cliff mine overnight and took down the rampant Black Wind bandit group in one fell swoop.

After receiving Anton's favorability prompt, Bai Xiaowen jumped off the pile of wood, nodded and said, "Harvey, Anton, a worker in the Baishi Silver Mine, recently burned his home by the Black Wind Bandits, so let's make him the first family to apply to build a wooden house." ”

Harvey had already recovered from his surprise and replied loudly, "Yes, my lord." Mr. Anton will surely own one of the sturdiest wooden houses in White Rock Town. ”

Anton was so excited that he burst into tears, knelt down and kissed Bai Xiaowen's shoes.

With Anton's example, other lords rushed up and applied to build wooden houses. For a while, Harvey was a little scrambling.

Some of the lords boldly said, "My lord, we have no food, and we have to endure hunger every day. Can you give us the hut for food?"

Kitts glared and said, "You are not satisfied with the gift of the lord, are you bargaining here?"

Bai Xiaowen had already had a problem with this, smiled and raised his hand and said, "Don't be nervous, there will be a wooden house, and there will be food." Any well-being of the Lords can apply to join the Baishi Town Construction Corps and exchange their labor for rations!"

At present, the five teams under the command of the "Construction Corps" are all born as robbers and have a single composition. Bai Xiaowen plans to recruit a group of leaders and fill them into the construction corps, so that they will be more assured to use.

In the near future, Bai Xiaowen has already formulated a phalanx for development, that is, to feed the war with war, to incorporate other bandit dens, and to buy food to feed the soldiers through the captured money.

This method is certainly not a long-term solution, once the bandits' dens are cleared, the territory of Baishi Town, which lacks continuous income, will definitely fall into the dilemma of money and food shortage, but that will be many days later.

Besides, after Bai Xiaowen recruited a certain number of troops, he planned to go to the Black Rock Defense Line. When the time comes, I joined the Terran United Army, and I am still worried that there is no food?

After this speech, Bai Xiaowen, the lord, can be regarded as a big brush in Baishi Town, and his lord page has also changed.

The population column has increased from 7 to 183, and the number is still jumping and rising. This means that the number of people who are willing to obey his orders and are radiated by his influence is increasing.

In the building materials column, the number displayed is 36, which is the wood materials dismantled from the camp of the Black Wind Bandit Group, and after inquiry, the number of "36" represents enough to build 36 wooden houses.

The grain column has increased to 783, which is also the stock of grain brought back from the camp of the Black Wind Bandit Regiment, which is needed by the construction corps, and it is no problem to support it for a few days. Of course, now we have to think about buying food.

The people's heart column has been raised to 15, Bai Xiaowen couldn't help but sigh a little, the people are really easy to satisfy.

The livability suddenly increased to 13, a full increase of ten points. This is enough to show that the Black Wind Bandit Group has a great influence on the territory of White Rock Town.

What hasn't changed is the Prosperity Rating, which is still only 5 points. However, when the grain trade route is established, there will be caravans, and the prosperity will definitely increase.

Bai Xiaowen left Kitts, Bernita, Harvey and others to preside over the order, and he and Li Shuyi entered the lord's mansion. The treasure chest that killed Ian and his elite bandits hasn't been opened yet.

Bai Xiaowen first opened Ian's golden treasure chest.

The battle rating is A, a total of ten gold cards, and there are three draws without byes.

However, before the extraction, Bai Xiaowen got a prompt:

"You got a special item: Ian's Journal. This item is guaranteed to drop and will not be included in the loot draw list. ”

Bai Xiaowen narrowed his eyes.

"This bandit leader Ian is really not an ordinary bandit, but has a hidden secret. ”

Bai Xiaowen opened the log and skimmed it roughly.

On the title page of the journal, there is a paragraph:

[I, Ian Benedict, swear to remain faithful to the Light and to be knightly until the end of my life. 】

Li Shuyi frowned: "This passage ...... It's really weird. When Ian became a thief, didn't he feel ashamed to look at this log every day?"

Bai Xiaowen turned the page back.

The journal has been torn up a lot, and the remaining pages are all records of a robbery of a certain place on a certain day of the month. However, when looking at the records carefully, Bai Xiaowen found some suspicious points.

For example, on one page, the date is October 16, 982 in the Kane calendar:

[Blackthorn Farm has a big problem. 】

[I raided Blackthorn Farm and detected a batch of plague grains. Burn the plague grains and return home. No spreaders have been found. 】

Another example is the penultimate page, dated January 7, 983 in the Kane calendar.

[The White Stone Silver Mine is suspected. 】

[Raid the White Stone Silver Mine, probe the miners, and find two guards infected by the necromantic plague.] 】

[I killed the guards, burned the silver mine house, and returned. 】

On the next page, there were only a few scribbles that were crossed out.

The crossed-out sentence is identified as follows: "I don't know if there is any point in doing this, but I feel that I am getting farther and farther away from the Holy Light, from the way of knighthood. 】

And at the back, Ian wrote another line with force:

[Archbishop Arlo will not be wrong, I repent of my doubts. I will try to fulfill my oath and that of six other compatriots to investigate the source of the necromantic plague. 】

[The glory of the Black Edge will always be in my heart. 】

After flipping through the logs, suddenly, a spiritual rule prompt message was passed to the two of them at the same time.

"[Heroic Side Quest Step 1: The Truth About the Plague] opens. ”

"Objective: Investigate the truth about the necromantic plague and find out who is the true spreader. ”

"Difficulty: B. ”

"Duration of the mandate: 10 days. ”

"Mission Reward: Unknown. ”

Bai Xiaowen and Li Shuyi's faces changed at the same time, heroic mission! This is the first time they have encountered it.

Li Shuyi said confusedly: "What's the matter? After reading the log, it made me even more confused." What is the Necromantic Plague, and is Ian a good guy or a bad guy?"

Bai Xiaowen sorted out his thoughts a little and said:

"My previous questions have basically been answered. In fact, Ian is a knight of the Holy See of Light, and instead of defecting, he actively disguises himself as a bandit. In order to investigate the truth of this 'necromantic plague'. ”

Li Shuyi frowned: "Why is he pretending to be a robber?"

Bai Xiaowen speculated: "Maybe it's to facilitate the movement. Based on the records in the journal and Anton's previous statements, I can tell that the people and grains infected by the necromantic plague should have an incubation period for a period of time, and there is no problem to see, but it can be detected by some means...... And the next thing to burn the grain and kill the infected is, in the eyes of many, to kill innocent human beings, incomprehensible. ”

Li Shuyi understood: "Ian, as a knight of the Holy Light Sect, can't search casually, let alone kill civilians, and hinder everywhere. And if he disguises himself as a bandit, he will not have such scruples, and he will not damage the reputation of the Holy Light Sect. ”

Bai Xiaowen nodded and said: "That's right, there are six people like him who have changed their identities, and they should be scattered throughout the northern Xinjiang." Black Blade is their code name. ”

"Oops...... Killed a good guy by mistake. Li Shuyi was a little annoyed.

Bai Xiaowen smiled bitterly and shook his head: "When fighting, who can know that he is 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." ”

"That'...... Do you want to take this hero-level side quest?" asked Li Shuyi.

"If you take the mission, you should be able to extract Ian's props to detect the necromantic plague from the treasure chest," Bai Xiaowen thought for a while, "Take it, there is no reason not to do it when you dig up the hero-level mission, not to mention that this is a continuous mission, and the rewards are generally relatively rich." ”

After both of them took on the "Truth About the Plague" quest, they began to draw loot cards. Sure enough, as Bai Xiaowen had speculated, the first one took out the [Plague Detector], which was a monocle with a faint glow on the frame.

[Plague Detector: A special item that can be activated for 60 seconds, you can see people or things infected by the Necromantic Plague.] After each use, it takes 10 minutes of prayer to recharge, and only 1 charge per day. Currently, 0/1 of the number of times can be used. 】

"The limitations of this thing are a bit big, it can only be used for 60 seconds in 10 minutes, and it can only be charged once a day...... It's no wonder that Ian has been busy for months and has not made much progress. Bai Xiaowen shook his head and tried to recharge.

Tooltip: "You do not have faith in the Light, and cannot be charged. ”

"I'll go, I have to have a special interface......" Bai Xiaowen spit out, "Fortunately, I kidnapped a trainee knight, otherwise this task would not have been possible." ”

Next, Ian's treasure chest has two more chances to draw, and Bai Xiaowen and Li Shuyi decided to do one for each person.

Li Shuyi drew first, and the card turned around, it was a necklace, and the high-end atmosphere and high-grade golden light slowly faded.

【Adjudicator's Determination (Pick Up and Bind)】

[Quality: Heroic (Gold)]

[Equipment Position: Neck]

[Equipment Requirements: Basic Constitution 15 points]

[Attribute: Constitution +3]

[Additional Skill: Shelter: Summons the Holy Light, forming a shield of light around your body for 30 seconds.] Shield absorption is based on your Constitution*2. Cooldown time 24 hours. 】

[Durability: 40/40]

[Description: Each knight of the Black Blade Adjudicator has an unparalleled firm belief.] 】

"A superb necklace. Bai Xiaowen gave an evaluation and gave Li Shuyi a thumbs up.

Gold equipment, some add attribute points, and some add skills. Generally speaking, gold equipment with about 5 attributes is called the best.

Of course, although Li Shuyi's [Feather Necklace] has no additional attributes, it has an extremely practical life-saving skill, which is also considered the best equipment.

And this necklace [Adjudicator's Determination] not only adds 3 points of Constitution, but also has a practical shield skill! Although the cooldown time of the skill is as high as 24 hours, which is a bit long, it can still be regarded as a super piece of equipment, and the value is only higher than that of the [Feather Necklace].

Li Shuyi smiled sweetly: "I have a necklace, this necklace will be given to you...... Your dog collar is ugly, change it out. ”

Bai Xiaowen smiled and changed into the [Adjudicator's Determination] necklace, and his physique reached 20 points, which was comparable to a level 3 tank-type profession, not to mention that he also had a skill with 40 shield points.

In the last draw, Bai Xiaowen clicked on the card.

"You have received a special item: the Oath of Brokenness. ”

Li Shuyi glanced at it, and suddenly exclaimed: "Team building props!"

[Broken Oath: Allow the Awoken to form a temporary team to explore the spirit realm together.] The number of squads must not exceed (2), and the level of the Awakened cannot exceed (6). After an exploration of the spirit plane, the team was automatically disbanded. This item disappears when used. 】

"It's just a temporary team building prop, and it's not bad to limit the level 6," Bai Xiaowen quickly judged the value of this item, "In order to maximize the benefits, it should be to save the psionic points needed for two level 6 hero professions to form a team...... 48000 points. Of course, there is usually not such a big benefit, and for the two of us, using it at level 6 can save about 36,000 psionic points. ”

"It's already remarkable, more than 30,000 alas. Li Shuyi's eyes narrowed when she smiled.
