After listening to Lawrence’s request, the Paladin, who had a lot of field experience before, immediately grabbed a large beer jug ​​full of beer and walked over to the horsemen, and then chatted with them on the side of the bar. . Just seven or eight minutes later, the horseman who seemed to be the leader walked over with another younger subordinate.

"It's nice to meet you, Mr. August. I'm Greymane, the owner of Greymane Farm." The grey horseman in the lead came over and stretched out a hand and said to Lawrence. "I heard that you are the scholar who put forward the disinfection theory. Thanks to your theory, the survival rate of our livestock after giving birth has increased a lot than before."

Disinfection theory can be used not only for human infections, but also for animals. According to the news that Lawrence got from his ranches, after paying attention to cleaning and disinfection, the survival rate of the lambs and calves is much greater than in the previous dirty state, which is very helpful for animal reproduction.

"Yes, I did put forward the theory of disinfection." Lawrence nodded and admitted, then said humbly. "It's just that when I published my thesis, I only put forward a point of view based on human infection. Later, I slowly experimented with a series of knowledge about infection and disinfection and applied it to other things, like yours, which can learn and apply. It’s all because of your intelligence, and the knowledge I proposed doesn’t play a big role in it."

"Ah, scholars like you with knowledge in their heads are always so humble." After listening to Lawrence, the horseman did not look down on Lawrence's performance, but appeared more enthusiastic. "The feeling you give me is the same as the feeling that the big shaman over there gives me, both possessing profound wisdom like the sea."

After chatting enthusiastically with the horseman for a while, Lawrence casually asked about the harvest on the prairie this year under the pretext that he needed to investigate some information. After hearing Lawrence's question, the horseman named Greymane thought about it carefully and then asked the horseman behind. "Iron Leaf, have you found anything wrong in the north?"

"It feels like there is no difference compared to previous years." The horseman frowned and scratched his head and said, "Although there has been a little less rain this year, it hasn't affected the growth of pasture much. . At least this year’s cheese and your live cattle shipments are not much different from previous years."

"It's the same on our side." Graymane said to Lawrence after the black horseman called the iron leaf finished speaking. "The overall situation is not much different from previous years. Although the rain is slightly less, it is still within the normal range. It can be said that this year should be a fairly passable year."

After speaking, Greymane hesitated and asked Lawrence. "Mr. August, did you make this investigation because something happened with us? If you have any special findings, please tell me as much as possible. This will make it easier for us to prepare as much as possible in this regard."

"Actually, when I came, I heard that serious pests and diseases broke out in the cotton fields on the plains near Heraklion, so I was worried about whether this year's climate would be more suitable for the growth of those pests." Lawrence thought about it for a while and then confronted the horseman Speaking, "Now I'm relieved to hear you say this. It seems that the situation on your grassland should be fine."

After all, the people in the Fortune Church before collectively sent out to help on the farm, but they attracted the attention of everyone in the city of Heraklion. According to their habit, when they are dispatched, they naturally attract the attention of everyone in the city. Therefore, it seems very reasonable for Lawrence to use similar excuses to ask horses about diseases and insect pests at this time.

"Ah, is the situation over there so bad?" After hearing Lawrence's words, the two horsemen in front of them all showed nervous expressions. "We are going to the city this time to buy some cloth in addition to selling cows. Does this issue affect the price of cloth in the city?"

"At least not when I came out." Lawrence comforted the two horsemen, "because the diseases and insect pests may have extraordinary powers behind them, but as far as I know they have not affected the cotton harvest this season. So now the market The prices of all cotton or cotton products on the list have not fluctuated much."

"Ah, if that's the case. Ancestral spirit is here, and I hope that the pest crisis in the cotton field will pass quickly." After Lawrence said this, the expressions of the two horsemen relaxed a lot. Then Gray Mane said to Lawrence, "Our observations are rough. We will not observe the changes of insects on the grassland as long as they are not too severe. But the big shaman will have more detailed records in this regard. If you want to understand You can ask him about the situation in this regard."

After speaking, Gray Mane told Lawrence where the big shaman was now, and then everyone chatted for more than half an hour before they dispersed and prepared to rest. After leaving the lobby of the tavern, Lawrence ordered the paladin of the Church of Fortune, who was disguised as the security captain, to inform everyone that he would change his route a little bit the day after tomorrow and go around five or six kilometers to visit the great shaman.

"Why do we have to take a long way?" the paladin of the Fortune Church asked somewhat incomprehensibly. "Sir, this is not questioning you. But I think we'd better rush to the location of the pollution source as quickly as possible, and then solve the problem there, instead of delaying too much time on the details."

"The minutiae? No, it is not the minutiae." Lawrence looked at the paladin and said. He was not surprised why the paladin made such a point. After all, the armed forces of the Church of the Goddess of Fortune have always tended to rely on excellence. His equipment directly hit the enemy's face directly, so it is understandable that he is not satisfied with his current detour approach.

"First of all, we pretended to be a scientific research team this time. It would seem a bit too strange to go straight to the location of the pollution source." Lawrence explained carefully, although as the leader of the team, Lawrence can directly address the players. We gave orders, but he thought it would be better to explain many things clearly in this improvised team. "In order to pretend to take a little detour, it is necessary to waste some time."

"Secondly, we are all outsiders to this land, so we are not clear about many things. When we really encounter any danger, it is easy to cause unnecessary problems and even casualties. If we can ask those friendly locals in advance If the transcendents even get their help, these can actually be avoided~www.ltnovel.com~ Finally, and the most important point." Lawrence looked at the Paladin seriously. "The range of activities of these horses is much larger than that of our human beings. According to what the horses said earlier, they would often go to the edge of the dead Gobi to collect some herbs or specialties for witch doctors or shamans. There must be enough samples from the shaman for us to conduct detailed inspections."

"Please forgive my recklessness just now." After listening to Lawrence's explanation, the paladin apologized to him very seriously after thinking about it. "I did not think well in this aspect before, and then I will follow your orders completely." After saying that, he walked in the direction of the team without waiting for Lawrence to say anything, and seemed to be ready to inform the team. The next itinerary changes.

There was no word for a night, and after bidding farewell to Greymane and them early the next morning, Lawrence and the others continued on their journey westward. After spending a day walking through the valley. Under the shining red sunset, Lawrence and the others saw a flat grassland that was as graceful as the sea. Several small streams that flowed out from the mountains like silver belts were flowing quietly, nourishing the grassland.

"Let's go over there first." After looking at the scenery outside the mountain pass, Lawrence pointed to the west and said, "Now let's visit that shaman together. I hope we can get enough from her. The news creates better opportunities for our future actions."

"Good!" "No problem." The voice of support came from the crowd. Because the specific situation was clarified yesterday, everyone is more supportive of the change in today's itinerary. More importantly, everyone wants to rest in the settlements rather than in the wild. Soon, everyone rode on camels and drove over to the settlement where there was smoking.
