Chapter 288 Developing the Wilderness

Hamlet is not big, but the vigor it shows is not even comparable to that of a big city.

Amanda was walking on the street, and it was the first time she saw so many people with smiles on their faces, and they were very friendly to each other.

The people who work are also working very hard, and there is no sign of laziness at all. What is even more strange is that there is no church in this small town, and even the grave has been dug.

You must know that she has been to so many places, you may not have administrative bureaucrats, but there will definitely be churches of churches and walking clergy, they are the real controllers at the bottom.

But here, I didn't even see half of the clergy, and the people responsible for managing the operation of the town were ordinary people.

They walked in Hamlet, everything in the town was well organized, and there was no trace of bureaucracy in those administrative staff.

Here, she also didn't see those soldiers who couldn't stand up straight and had pale faces, nor did she see those brutal and chaotic mercenaries who appeared everywhere.

They were replaced by security guards. These people were professional enough to be private soldiers of nobles, but here they were only used to maintain law and order.

And under their maintenance, Hamlet's level of law and order simply exceeded Amanda's understanding.

There are no thieves, no gangsters, no gangsters, no fights, everyone gets along very well, and it can be called peaceful and peaceful.

Of course, that's because Amanda came late. This has just gone through a round of crackdown, and those guys who have just become bureaucratic are still digging mushrooms in the wilderness.

Similarly, those who dared to disturb the law and order were all hit hard, a tough method under peace and stability.

To some extent, this can be regarded as a wonderful misunderstanding, but it also made Amanda have a lot of good feelings for this place.

Except for some anti-social guys, people always instinctively tend to be beautiful.

The better the town behaves, the more curious she is about this place and the man standing behind Hamlet.

But after walking around, Amanda found a very embarrassing situation, that is, those people showed resistance to herself as a foreigner, especially when they asked about things in the town, they would attract vigilant eyes.

He even alarmed the sheriff, and after being taken for questioning, he knew that he was suspected of being a cult member.

It's just that Amanda didn't have the slightest timidity, but instead spoke to the sheriff confidently.

"Your Lord Lance and I are friends, you can ask him if you don't believe me."

"The lord hasn't come back yet, I'll go and notify Sergeant William." The sheriff seemed a little helpless, but he didn't expect his inadvertent sentence to expose the lord's whereabouts.

Amanda also confirmed something when she heard this. The army had returned last night, but the lord was not there, which is very strange.

According to the guarantee that there will be a vacation after the operation, William was also on vacation after attending the celebration banquet last night, but came immediately after hearing that a woman in a strange dress was brought back to the sheriff's stronghold.

He knew a little bit about Amanda. This was a killer who hunted down the Roma, but he was imprisoned by the lord for wounding people in Hamlet. How could he be released so quickly?

William didn't want to be involved in their conflicts, but Hamlet's security regulations absolutely did not allow provocation!

It's just that when William arrived, she was chatting with a sheriff, and she didn't have the slightest sense of distance from a stranger in that way.

"Cough cough!"

William reminded, the sudden appearance of the leader caused the sheriff to issue an order, and he suddenly stood up to report.

"Hi Sheriff!"

William didn't pay attention to the greetings from his subordinates, but looked at Amanda, his scrutinizing eyes were full of distrust, who told her that she had just been released?
But he still put it back on the sheriff, "You come out with me first."

"So what happened?"

"We have received reports from the masses..."

At first he thought that Amanda was arrested for making trouble, but now he found out that the killer didn't make trouble, but was reported by the townspeople because of his suspicious behavior, so he was brought back for questioning.

As for the result of the question...

From the look of the sheriff, William knew that the young man had been fooled by the woman, and there was a somewhat angry look on his face.

"What did she ask you? What did you tell her? I hope you remember the confidentiality regulations."

"No! No! What she asked was very common, things that everyone knew, and I didn't say anything about other things."

In any case, he has been trained in secrecy, so he won't lose his mind with a few words.

"You go back and write a report detailing the conversation you just had."

"Yes!" Although the magistrate was a little helpless, he still agreed.

William's way of justice is facing anyone, and he will not relax his requirements just because he is his subordinate. On the contrary, he needs to demand them more severely.

Because they are responsible for the security of Hamlet, a slight mishandling may cause chaos.

There was almost a problem that time before, but it was Leonard who reacted quickly and dispatched the army to suppress it.

Although the lord did not criticize this matter, he praised him for his good work.

In fact, William knew that what he had done was not good enough, otherwise he would not have dispatched troops for things that belonged to his work.

And the reaction of his subordinates just now also reminded him of Leonard's words at the award meeting. He knew that some people were relaxed, but the danger never disappeared. It was just that the lord stood at the front and blocked the danger. So they can feel stable.

The existing professional quality is no longer enough. The security team cannot hold back the lord. It must strengthen training and dig deeper into how to perform its functions.

But now we have to deal with this trouble first.

After sending his men away, William re-entered, looking at Amanda was also a bit of a headache.

He doesn't like killers and people who have committed crimes. If he can be sure, he will be locked up and dealt with when the lord returns.

But Hamlet is not one of those places. She has done nothing wrong, so she cannot be detained for no reason.

So he could only take out Hamlet's rules and regulations and hand them over, emphasizing: "These rules must be followed in Hamlet."

Amanda walked out of the sheriff's quarters, somewhat bewildered herself.

Originally, I wanted to find someone to learn about this town. Ordinary people didn't want to tell her, so they should ask the sheriff, but they turned around before they were sent out.

Although she didn't understand these people to some extent, these sheriffs were all well-behaved and didn't make things difficult for herself, which made it a little difficult for her.

Amanda has never been a nice person, and her view of the bureaucracy is not even a prejudice, but a law.

If those sheriffs made it difficult for her just now, they would make her find an excuse.

Haven't you been emphasizing the rules all the time?Now it's your people who don't follow the rules.

This will be her bargaining chip with Lance, but Amanda has never forgotten about Tamara.

Since Tamara is hiding here by the rules, she just needs to break the rules and find loopholes.

It's a pity that those magistrates were very serious, they didn't ask for bribes and frame up, and they didn't make any moves. They just asked her a simple question, explained the rules to her, and then let her go.

Instead, she didn't know where to start.

Amanda knew that this guy Tamara would definitely not just leave this hard-won refuge.

Is it really just spending time with her here?

In this regard, she could only find her own car. This kind of car made by the Roma has special extraordinary power, and only the "key" can be used to get in and out, otherwise it will only trigger an alarm or a trap.

And Amanda didn't find any signs of forced entry. Could it be that the man really hasn't moved at all?

But at this time, I didn't care about these things anymore. When I got back, I took out the black crystal ball with a golden base and lit it with incense. With the help of the ceremony left in the car, Amanda quickly contacted the organization.

She has been missing for seven days, nothing has been completed, and what happened is too strange, she needs to ask the higher authorities whether to continue the task.

At the same time, she also needs to know what happened to the outside world during her detention.

Roma tribes wander around the world. For their own safety, they will deliberately collect all kinds of information in the world, and this means of communication also gives them the ability to transmit messages over long distances.

After years of development, this trend has gradually integrated into a huge information network, and omen seekers are actually "people looking for information".

That is to say, information dealers. They are world-renowned intelligence organizations, and their strength can be seen from Tamara, a guy who has left the organization and still knows a lot of information in the world.

And obviously, the information about Hamlet Town and Lance has also become an intelligence.

It is precisely because of its value that Amanda is willing to abide by the rules for the time being, and does not want to directly offend Lance, since Tamara can't escape anyway.

Of course, the premise of all this is the strength shown by Lance. If Lance couldn't beat her at the beginning, then Amanda would not care about a small town.

The message is being passed on...

After a night's rest, Lance led the team to continue to Hamlet.

The expected disturbance last night did not appear, and those members of the Ascension Cult completely disappeared into the dense forest in the wilderness as if they had really left.

After resting, the rest of the team also recovered. It has to be said that the demon hunter has a strong physique. He only needs to sleep for four hours to be full of energy, and his physical injuries recover quickly. Just heal the wounds from fighting the wizard.

Terrible recovery ability.

Lance feels that Geralt is not inferior to him in other aspects except that he is a little weaker than him in strength, and he has also mastered the ability of the seal. He is also a demon hunter with rich combat experience and proficient in killing. He is called [ Master] makes sense.

But he is not bad, the plug-in allows him to heal his injuries, and he has the ability to fight continuously without getting tired, and is immune to mental attacks.

Um~ That's right, stepping into the [Master] rank is all due to my own efforts.

"At that time, the Ascension Sect united with the cannibal witch hiding in the depths of the wilderness to spread the plague on Hamlet. Many people in the town were infected with blight. In order to save them, I led the team into the wilderness and killed the witch. Only then did I find the cure. s method……"

On the way back, it is inevitable to enter the corrupted area in the wilderness.

The development has not yet reached this point, and the horrible scene of being swallowed by fungi can still be seen. The twisted and weird mushrooms that can be as tall as a human have left a deep impression on Geralt and the others.

After losing the witch's control, it continued to spread outward at a steady speed, and the spore cloud covering this place did not know when it would dissipate.

And this is one of the directions that Lance is working hard for. If he wants to get to the old site, he must open up the wilderness.

Likewise, he did not choose this road to take a shortcut, but to investigate the road from Hamlet to the entrance of the beast den.

Although he doesn't intend to provoke the monsters in the beast den now, as the scope of wilderness development becomes larger and larger, he must deal with it at that time.

Do a good job of investigating now, then if you want to mobilize troops to wipe out them, at least you won't be ignorant of this.

Lance knows that he has no ability or talent, but he knows that as long as he prepares in advance, the victory will be tilted towards him.

The beast den is in the northwest of the wilderness, and the ruins are in the north of the wilderness. This road only needs to repair the old road leading to the north, and then open a westward road. There is no need to completely build a new road.

During this investigation, Lance and his party finally returned to the frontier development camp, which was very lively.

Trees were felled, shrubs and weeds were harvested, and those huge mushrooms were collected, and there were several tin buckets on the fire beside them.

This is a custom-made iron barrel, which is connected by dense rivets, supported by an iron frame, and there is an additional device like a draft tube on it. It looks somewhat wasteland metal style, and it is simply very ugly.

The wood in the corrupted area cannot be used for other purposes, but it can be used to burn charcoal, and the high temperature will clean up all the corrupted.

People cut and split the wood and stuffed it into the iron barrel, then closed it and sealed it with soil to completely isolate the air, and then set up a bonfire in the ground.

Only a small amount of firewood is needed to ignite, and the iron pipe on the top extends out, and wood gas is sprayed out through the furnace, and at the same time, black turbid viscous liquid drips from the other side, which is wood tar.

Use the wood gas produced by itself to complete the charcoal burning, saving most of the firewood, and at the same time will not emit waste gas to cause pollution.

And when it was about time, the mud was broken, and the wood inside had all turned into black charcoal, and the fungus that might have remained on it had already been reduced to ashes in the high temperature.

When the plants near one place are cut down, move the big iron stove to the next place, and then plan a place, and light the dried shrubs and weeds with a fire, and let the flame purify everything.

The scorched land began to be plowed, and the fermented organic fertilizer was mixed into it to open up square farmland.

There is also a part of the specially planned medicine field, which has been more carefully cultivated to prepare for transplanting and planting those herbs and precious plants that were discovered during the wilderness development.
