Chapter 83 What the People Want
Chapter 83 What the People Want
Ivan noticed that the situation had changed and immediately jumped down, stepping lightly on other tree trunks to move down.
But he had already stirred up a hornet's nest.
'Bang bang bang. '
For some insect groups, the queen insect is their Achilles' heel. When the queen insect is captured, some wood silkworms pass the news to other wood silkworms in a secret way, and the originally clumsy wood silkworms immediately show their ferocious side.
They all transformed into moths and attacked like missiles when they found their enemies. Ivan raised his shield and there was a dense sound of collisions coming from the round shield.
The noise is getting louder and louder.
Ivan landed safely on the ground, but the moths were still chasing him, and their numbers were increasing.
All around, other mulberry trees also began to show unusual movements.
"Don't panic, Lord. We are here to support you."
Seeing that the lord was in unusual danger, several people came forward to help resist.
As he ran, Ivan ordered, "Retreat, run separately, don't follow me. Tell others not to get close to Sangling." He ran towards the back of Sangling.
After a few people evacuated, moths emerged from the mulberry trees and followed the scent of the queen insect.
After a while, Ivan ran to the back of Sangling, leaving the moth behind.
He quickly took out two potions, one to eliminate odors and the other to repel insects. He pointed his finger into the glass bottle and the potions turned into mist that diffused around his body, replacing the smell on his body.
He then retreated, and after a while he found that the moth had indeed stopped chasing him, and he secretly praised himself for his preparations having paid off.
While the moths were in chaos, he had already returned to the castle from the other side.
"We have to control the queen insects as soon as possible, otherwise we don't know what kind of trouble they will cause."
In the alchemy room on the fourth floor, Ivan looked at Mulberry Ridge from afar and witnessed the mulberry trees falling one after another. He knew that the moths had become crazy and only the Queen of Insects could calm them down.
Jiushi followed and said, "Did you succeed?"
Ivan was a little proud: "That's right, don't you see who your man is."
Jiushi nodded seriously: "Yes, I knew there would be no problem if you showed up."
Ivan was amused, and thought of something and ordered, "Go tell the people in the territory to go home, close the doors and windows, and don't go out for the time being."
Jiushiti also noticed the changes in Sangling. She believed that her man could solve the problem, so she turned and went downstairs to convey the lord's new order.
After she left, Ivan manipulated the water energy particles to turn into dew, cleansed his body, then manipulated the fire energy particles to evaporate the moisture on his body before starting to deal with the problem of the queen insect.
Insect Control, casting time 2 seconds, distance 20 meters. Consumption: 0.5 spirit point, 0.5 mana point.
The trouble with this spell is that you have to cast the insect control spell once for each insect, which consumes a lot of resources, but there is a probability of control failure.
The casting distance is the maximum distance at which commands can be conveyed when controlling insects, not the distance at which the insects can be controlled.
"It looks a bit stupid no matter how you look at it."
Ivan took some effort to confine the wood silkworm queen in another iron box, letting one end of it drill into the mulberry wood block and the other end sticking out, just like some kind of bird in danger.
A few seconds later, a black and red halo appeared at his fingertips, with faint rune patterns lingering in the halo.
He gently tapped the body of the wood silkworm queen.
"Mumble."
The wood silkworm queen trembled uncomfortably, crawled forward a few centimeters, and made a slight sound from her mouth. She sensed the presence of the evildoer and squirmed her head back into the mulberry wood.
Control failed. Ivan was not surprised by this. After a few seconds, he gently touched the wood silkworm queen with his finger.
The wood silkworm queen moved her fat body, and her insect-controlling magic collapsed and the spell failed again.
After several failed spellcastings, his mental and magical powers dropped to the bottom line, which made him realize that the wood silkworm queen looked harmless, but resisting magic control was rebelling against her will, and it was not an easy task to make her compromise.
It depends on who can outlast whom.
He must succeed in raising the silkworms today.
When your mental and magical powers are exhausted, you need to meditate to recover quickly, and then you can use the insect control technique.
Time passes little by little.
……
Sanggulingsi Village.
Among the four villages, Si Village is close to the front of Sangling Mountain.
The commotion on Sangling Mountain scared many villagers. Watching the mulberry trees that they once depended on for survival fall one by one, the villagers felt extremely complicated. Once upon a time, they were the villagers' treasures and the things that adults warned their children to protect.
"It's all ruined."
At the Si Village office, an old man looked outside through the window, slapped his legs in pain, and sighed.
"Old Jim, stop howling, or you might attract those things here." The chief of Si Village patiently advised. If Old Jim was not his elder and too old, he would have started to chase him away long ago.
He then sighed and said, "Those trees were dead in the first place. They are dead trees whether they are destroyed or not. Oh! I hope that the Lord can really solve the problem of Sangling. Then our Sanggu can return to the way it was a few years ago, when everyone raised silkworms, farmed, and hunted, instead of being in chaos like it is now."
Old Jim closed the window reluctantly and turned back to scold: "Your words are outrageous. Didn't you see that the Lord guards Sangling all night and doesn't go down the mountain until dawn every day? How could he not solve the problem? It's just that you little guys haven't grown up, otherwise there would be no need for the Lord to do it himself."
"You are right." The village chief couldn't refute. "That's why I hope that the Lord's efforts will not be wasted."
What Old Jim said was true. The lord had indeed not slept well since he came to the territory. He thought day and night about how to solve the problem of Sangling, which made the village heads feel ashamed.
"Just wait, the Lord will definitely be able to pacify Sangling."
"Yes, I can."
The chief of Si Village and Old Jim looked at each other and nodded heavily.
In the past few days, the news that the lord had worked hard to solve the Sangling problem had spread throughout the territory, allowing the people to see his determination and efforts.
The lord is young, but he is a good noble who truly cares about Sang Gu.
Unknowingly, Ivan has won a lot of people's support and has become a lord recognized by many people from the bottom of their hearts.
At this moment, Sangling is experiencing unprecedented changes, and coupled with the orders issued by the lord, the people in the territory feel uneasy when looking at Sangling, but they all hope that the lord can solve the problem in one fell swoop, dispel the haze covering Sangling, and bring a bright and sunny day to Sanggu.
This night was destined to be a sleepless night for the people of Sanggu.
Early in the morning of a new day, someone who had been secretly watching Sangling discovered that the turmoil on Sangling had subsided at daybreak, and no mulberry tree had fallen down.
"Quick! Come out, follow me to the castle. The lord has something to announce."
"Really? Has the problem in Sangling been solved? I see no movement there--"
"Don't talk nonsense, you will know when you go there."
At the call of the four village chiefs, the people of the territory came to the open space under the castle mountain with a feeling of trepidation and expectation, and stood in an orderly manner with the people of their own village, waiting for the appearance of the lord.
