Chapter 330 The Unintentional
The grand festival ended successfully, Zhenbeicheng once again returned to its busy schedule, and Sulun followed Chris to the underground world.
He was going to try to breed underground spiders. It was not easy to use underground spider silk to weave stockings, and also used alchemy. Each pair of spider silk stockings sold from the dark area is more than fifty jinnals. Even so, there is still a shortage of supply, mainly because the quality of this thing is not good, and it is basically a one-time job.
Sulun plans to divide an area in the underground world, specifically for breeding underground spiders, and the spider silk produced is used to weave stockings. The drow elves are very experienced in breeding spiders. Although the drow elves in Zhenbeicheng have been away from the underground world for a long time and have even been mixed with humans, the method of breeding spiders has been passed down.
The underground spider is a large spider that looks a bit ferocious on the outside. It has eight arthropods, about one meter long legs, and its body in the middle is about bigger than a dog, with a large abdomen, and its body is covered with dense black and gray short hairs. It looks ferocious and terrifying on the outside. This spider has eight eyes and a pair of hideous poisonous fangs on its mouth. It is the kind of monster that looks like it can leave a psychological shadow.
Although this underground spider looks extremely ferocious on the outside, this kind of spider is vegetarian and likes to eat mushroom grass and various fungi. Although it is toxic, it is their self-defense weapon. There is a silk sac on the abdomen of the underground spider, and some spider silk will be produced every day. However, this spider silk cannot be used directly. They are too sticky and need to be processed.
After learning about the living habits of this spider, Sulun built a large farm outside Crete City. At the same time, he allocated some drow elves to be responsible for production. Currently, there are more than 100 underground spiders in this spider farm, and the monthly production capacity can be made about 300 pairs of stockings.
In fact, the raw materials for producing stockings are easy to solve, but the production is difficult. Hathaway cannot spend a lot of time and energy to use alchemy to process these spider silks. Fortunately, the part of using alchemy is not a very difficult spell. It mainly eliminates the stickiness of spider silks. It took two days to create a rune array, and only needs to activate the rune array to process these spider silks.
This kind of work can be done by handing it to a wizard apprentice. As for weaving stockings, they are half-elf weavers. Although the weaving bureau in Zhenbeicheng is not well-known, it can produce silk, linen, cotton, etc., but because of the lack of manpower, the production is not high.
Currently, only a few half-elf weaver masters can do the fine work of weaving stockings, so Sulun can only ask them to try to train some weaver apprentices.
Just as Sulun was preparing to build the internal facilities of the Wizard Tower with Hathaway and others, a guard hurried over.
"Sir, the security team found some bodies in the city."
"Have you caught the murderer?" Su Lun said without raising his head. There are not many occasional murders in a city with more than 100,000 people. Although the laws in Zhenbeicheng are strict, there are still people who do not believe in evil and want to try it.
"Sorry, sir, we didn't find the murderer, and there were a lot of deaths."
"How many? Do you have any clues?"
"Twenty-four people! No clues have been found yet."
Hearing this number, Su Lun suddenly raised his head, "Twenty-four people were killed, you have no clues."
"I'm sorry, I've disappointed you."
"Where is the body? Take me there."
Under the leadership of the guards, Su Lun soon arrived at the crime site. At this time, the crime site had been isolated by the public security team. As soon as he entered here, Su Lun smelled a strong smell of blood. After seeing the corpses on the ground clearly, his face turned even more gloomy and terrifying.
"All the corpses of lord were killed in one blow, and the hearts of all corpses were dug out." Harrison walked forward and said.
Su Lun came to observe and saw that these corpses were both men and women, about thirty years old, and they were in their prime. They had traces of fighting on them. From the traces of struggle in some places, some people were even dug out of their hearts while they were alive, and there was a lot of blood on the scene.
"Who discovered the body first?" Su Lun asked.
"It's Bobby." Harrison waved to a middle-aged man next to him who looked a little timid and asked him to come.
"Sir, come to me." Poppy nodded and said.
"Say what you know about these corpses again."
"Okay sir..." Soon Poppy told the story from beginning to end, and Sulun didn't find any clues.
"These people are just ordinary refugees. Who will kill them and dig up their hearts?" Su Lun said with a frown.
"Sir, I know some clues." Just then, outside the quarantine circle, an adventurer-like man waving his arms, but the soldier in front of him did not allow him to approach the quarantine circle.
"Let him come in!" Su Lun thought for a moment and said to the soldier, and then the soldiers made way.
"Hello Lord Lord, I am Lun. I am very happy to see you. I am a wanderer..." The adventurer said respectfully.
Su Lun waved his hand: "I'm not interested in these things. You said you have clues, tell me now."
"Well, Lord Lord, I do have some clues about those murderers, but..." Lun said and made a general gesture.
"As long as the clue you said is true and can help us find the murderer, I can make the decision to give you a thousand gold ner as a reward, how about it?"
"Trade is completed!" Lu En nodded quickly and said, "Sir, do you know if you have heard of some rumors?"
"What rumors?" Su Lun asked with his eyebrows raised.
Lu En looked around cautiously, then whispered: "The unintentional one!"
Sulun was a little confused. He had never heard of this name. Seeing Sulun's expression, Lun continued: "You don't know, it's not surprising that this unintentional person is actually a church of evil gods. They were often active on the southern coast before, but later they did some things, causing a large number of civilian casualties and were jointly hunted down by forces on the southern coast."
"They often dig out the hearts of living people and then sacrifice to the evil god, so they are also called the unintentional ones." According to Lu En's explanation, Su Lun finally figured out who the so-called unintentional ones were.
These people believe in an evil god, and the favorite sacrifice of this evil god is the heart. Therefore, after defeating the enemy, these people will dig out their hearts, or sacrifice the evil god they believe in with a killing. In the end, they will dig out their hearts as sacrifices.
There are many kinds of gods in this world, and even the orthodox gods are divided into many combinations, such as kindness, evil, neutrality, orderliness, chaos, etc. In addition to these gods, there are also some evil gods that are not recognized. These evil gods have part of the power of gods and like blood sacrifices. Orthodox gods have divine character, priesthood, and divine power, while the evil gods only have part of it.
Although the evil god will respond to believers and give them power, he will eventually swallow the power and believers together. Even if the person who uses the power of the evil god is not killed by others, the evil god will seize his soul.
"You mean those unintentional evil god believers have come to Zhenbei City?" Su Lun said.
"It seems that's true!" Luen nodded and said, "I suggest you seek the help of the temple. Those who are unintentional are not weak."
"You are a wanderer, you should be proficient in tracking. You are also very strong. Help me find the traces of those evil god believers." Su Lun looked at the wanderer in front of him and said. This wanderer was a level 3 extraordinary professional, and he was familiar with the style of the unintentional people, so he asked him to find it very suitable. As for seeking the help of the church, Su Lun did not consider it for the time being.
The church is indeed willing to help Sulun solve these evil gods, but in this way the church will have the opportunity to interfere in Zhenbeicheng, which is unacceptable to Sulun.
"Okay, but tracking also requires a reward, and this task is very dangerous. I want two thousand gold ner!" Luen hesitated for a moment and nodded in agreement.
"Yes." Sulun nodded and agreed.
Next, after Sulun paid a commission of 1,000 kin, Lun began to work formally.
As a wanderer who is proficient in tracking, Lun is still very reliable. After a while, he discovered some clues and then began to track them along the remaining clues. Sulun followed only with a barbarian guard.
Following the remaining traces, everyone soon came outside the city. After arriving outside the city, the traces of tracking became more and more obvious. It was obvious that after leaving the city, these people no longer hid their traces.
After a while, Su Lun suddenly discovered that they came to a cemetery, which was used by Zhenbei City to bury the dead. There are also cemeteries in Zhenbei City, but if they want to be buried in those cemeteries, they can only be soldiers who died in battle or citizens who paid a large sum of money. Ordinary refugees, including serfs and monster slaves, were buried outside the city.
Although Zhenbeicheng has just been established less than two years ago, this cemetery has buried many people. Because it is a cemetery, it is indeed hidden and rarely visited.
The wanderer walking in the front suddenly stopped and then quickly walked to a cemetery and said in a deep voice: "Look at these graves! The tombstones have been for a long time, but the soil underground has been turned up recently!"
Hearing his voice, everyone stepped forward, and it was confirmed that something was wrong with the soil here.
"It should be the last two days!"
Luen squatted down, twisted some soil with his hands and asked, then pulled away the weeds in front of the tombstone, and there were obvious traces of moving under the tombstone.
"At most three days ago, someone opened this grave."
