Chapter 165： What happened to Kant’s collar?

It is a well-prepared dagger. Although it is not an enchanted weapon, the material is blended with a small amount of fine gold and purple steel, which makes it reflect a unique lavender in the light. This material is a weapon. It does not bring about the bonus of extraordinary power, but if you want to deal with the enchanted armor, it will always have a good effect.

On the handle of the dagger, Gao Wen found a mark like a brown bear's head, and there was a circle of garland decorations around the mark.

In this era, many emblems are indiscriminately used. A considerable part of the beasts and flowers are regarded as the "private symbol" of the nobility. The mark that combines the head of the beast and the flowers and plants in many cases means the mark of a certain family. The random use of these marks by the civilians will inadvertently violate the rights of the nobility. According to the heraldry and the Ansu noble law, which is controlled by Gao Wen, the mark on this dagger is obviously a family mark.

For seven hundred years, the family imprint of these nobles still follows ancient traditions.

This dagger should come from the "giving" of a nobleman. According to Gao Wen, the nobles have very strict rules when giving weapons to others: the weapons such as the tomahawk, the warhammer, and the long scorpion are only authorized by the king. And will only be given to the aristocrats with warfare; various types of swords (mainly long swords) are more common gifts, and any nobleman can give others a sword for any reason, but the person who accepts the gift must also An aristocrat must at least reach the knight class; while weapons such as daggers, knives, and short bows are considered "not on the table," and the nobility will give such things to the "civilians" they like, and the goal is usually Excellent performance, escort, or... eagle dog.

"It looks like I judged that the mercenaries were 'domestic' by the aristocratic family," Gao Wen took the dagger and looked at it carefully. "Just don't know if they are loyal to a family, or they are loyal to several at the same time." family……"

"Do you know the mark on this?" Amber curiously came over. "Oh, I started to look at this thing nicely..."

"I don't know," Gao Wen carefully identified, and finally shook his head. "When I am alive, this family should not appear yet. You should call Herti, she should know more about the nobles in the South."

Soon, Hetty came to Gao Wen’s tent.

After carefully identifying the mark on the dagger, she said with certainty: "This is the emblem of the Kant family."

"Kant family?" Gao Wen frowned and recalled, finally found the source of the name in the recent common sense of commonplace, "the viscount north of the Leslie family?"

"Yes, over the wilderness forests in the northern part of the White River, just before you bring back those displaced people to the north, it is the territory of the Kant family," Hetty began to introduce the simple situation of the Kant family. "That is one in three." The family that emerged a hundred years ago was sealed here because of the military exploits. When the Cecil family 'had an accident,' they were loyal to the current royal family, so they escaped the southern cleansing. It is currently a few on the south side of the land. One of the families with a history of more than 100 years."

Gao Wen casually asked: "How is their relationship with the Cecil family?"

“It’s not too far, it’s not close,” Herti replied. “One hundred years ago, when they were cleaning up in the South, they didn’t help, and they didn’t fall into the rocks. They were always neutral. It’s a mysterious family, they are There are not many outsiders, and family members rarely appear in the upper social circles. Although the upper social circles in the South are very loose, the Kant family still has the fewest."

“What are their main industries? Fields? Mines? Or pastures?”

“Kant’s collar produces mainly food, as well as a variety of high-quality herbs, including potions, but no mines.”

"There is a problem, the problem is big..." Gao Wen knocked on the table. "A no-mine, relying mainly on the aristocratic collar of the field, what is the intention of plundering a large group of slaves before winter? And judging from this dagger This group of mercenaries is dedicated to helping the Kant family. They are certainly not the first time to take slaves in the wilderness. So many slaves are sent to Kant. What are they doing?"

“This...” Hetty also realized the strangeness of the problem and suddenly remembered another thing. “It’s strange to say that Kant’s main output has always been food, and herbs and potions are just Sideline, but in recent years, the number of herbs and potions sold abroad has increased year by year, especially the potions, not only has the output doubled, the quality has improved, and the looming has exceeded their food output. It became the main pillar of the Kant family. But from the law of magical distribution, this situation is difficult to explain..."

Due to the existence of various supernatural forces, there are two kinds of "medicinal plants" in the world. In addition to the herbs with general effects, there are also "magic drugs" that can be used in various magical rituals or directly as casting materials. One said that under normal circumstances, the growth of potions is very limited by the local magic environment. Its production will have an upper limit. If the magic environment is not good, then no matter how intensive or improved the seeds, it is impossible to increase the yield of the potion. The quantity may instead lead to a reduction in magic in the medicine.

However, Kant’s production of potions has increased year by year.

In this age of lack of statistics, except for businessmen who specialize in doing business, the nobility rarely realizes the fluctuations in crop yields in the surrounding territories (in fact, they do not necessarily know the crop yields of their own territory, It is the concern of the consultant and the general manager), but Herti is a magician, and is a magician in the family. Usually, he will naturally pay attention to the changes in the surrounding potion market, and he will be acutely aware of this anomaly.

Amber was just boring to listen to it, but her sharp ears suddenly shook a bit, and her face looked horrified: "Mom! The Kant family should not take the living as a fertilizer, right?" !"

"...I think that they can really think of such things with the morality of some nobles, but it is still impossible to make them," Gao Wen’s eyes swayed and waved. "The fields where the potions are planted are usually not hidden. Outsiders can see at a glance, and living people can not improve the concentration of the magic environment when they are fertilizers... Which is the black magic?"

Gao Wen is talking about this. Suddenly Betty’s voice came out of the tent: "Master! Master! Pitman is coming to see you!"

Gao Wenyi, remembering the task he had just handed over to the Druid, couldn't help but smile at his face: "It seems that his "special effect medicine" has worked."

Because it was already expected that ordinary torture would not have any effect on the mercenaries, from the beginning Gao Wen asked Pitman to find a way to deal with the two "captures" that were caught back.

Druids are not a profession that is good at "torture" intelligence. Their spells are far less than the blood **** believers or the undead masters who specialize in torture and pain. But just change your mind and get information. There is only one way to "torture".

At least in the memory of Gao Wen Cecil, there are many ways to use Druid pharmacy and rituals to extract intelligence from the enemy's mouth. These methods are just as good for seven hundred years.

In a hut that was temporarily used as a prison, Gao Wen saw two captured mercenaries who had been given potions, applied ointments on their foreheads, and were scented by the ritual for a whole hour.

The two men are already unconscious at this time.

Pittman also stood by and showed off: "I will tell you, my potions and rituals are very useful, especially this incense, and strong people will lose themselves in its magic..."

Indeed, as the old man said, at the moment, the whole house is filled with a strong and almost irritating smell of incense. Even if Pitman’s ritual is over, this incense no longer has the magical power to interfere with the mind. Gao Wen still The frown that was smoked by this smell, even the amber next to it shouted: "Wow, old man, are you going to be bacon?"

"According to your smoking method, even if you don't need to fill the potion, most people may have recruited it." Gao Wen had to add a breath-protecting effect to himself to stand in the house. "I even suspect that this ceremony is Directly stunned people, what is magic?..."

Pittman nodded and smiled. "You really said that the idea was actually improved many years ago. I thought that even if I didn't use the potion, it would be a pity that I would give it to the target." I was beaten by my own tutor and I had to give up. But you reminded me this time, maybe..."

"Do you dare to practice a try?!" Gao Wenyi listened to this moment and glared at the little old man. "You really smoked the two people for an hour, even if they are willing to recruit me, they are not willing to ask!"

Pittman suddenly narrowed his neck and carefully looked at Gao Wen's scorpion meat. He initially judged that this unearthed legend could at least hit his mentor twenty, and decided to give up his bold "improvement ceremony" plan.

Gao Wen frowned and looked at the two mercenary prisoners who had already lost their eyes. They looked at the ground in front of them with a dull look. The power of magic potions, ointments and incense had already been Drag them into a state of reality and dreams, in which they can't tell whether they are answering questions in reality or reading their memories in a dream, before the magical powers fade away from them. Almost everything will be answered.

"It is the Kant family..." Gao Wenfa asked, but when he just opened his mouth, he suddenly forgot what the current power of the Kant family called, and then turned a little bit awkwardly. "Hetty, who is the Kant family now?" ”

Herti leaned slightly: "Victor Kant, the old prince of age."

"Yes, Victor Kant," Gao Wen turned to two mercenaries. "Is he sending you to capture slaves?"

The mages in the two mercenaries seemed to have some resistance, but the mercenary leader first spoke up: "Yes... Viscount Victor Kant sent us to capture the refugees in the wilderness... but not as slave."

"Not as a slave?" Gao Wen frowned. "What is it?"

"Help him..." The mercenary leader replied with a dull look at the beginning, but the second half of the sentence suddenly looked up, his eyes staring straight at Gao Wen, his face showing a strange smile, "Dream , Lord Gavin Cecil."8)
