Strange Star Witch

Under the leadership of botanical expert Jessica, Rudolph came to Sir's farm.

It is May, the month of Taurus, and in the wheat field, the wheat has grown to knee height.

But what is painful is that the wheat leaves are drooping under the burden.

Rudolf opened a leaf and found a group of strange black aphids behind the leaf.

There are black spots on the stems and leaves of these wheats, which are necrotic spots left by aphids after feeding.

Rudolf looked at the wheat fields that were sure to be barren, feeling a little desperate. The wheat fields were vast and endless, but the leaves were all drooping on one side, with dots of black spots.

Sir’s butler said from the side:

"Mr. Patrolman, I have already written to Mayor Faqinan and Chief Claude. We are not intentionally driving up the price of grain.

Of course, we do not rule out other farms doing this, but none of our five farms do this and will never do this.

As you can see, this year's grain harvest will definitely be affected and may even result in no harvest.

In order to cope with this situation, the output of grain from the granary has slowed down, so the price has increased. There is nothing we can do about it.

Sir Jennifer and Ms. Jessica both mean to deal with the pests first and even prepare for harvesting next year."

"Is the situation so serious..." Rudolf sighed:

"The surrounding farms have been unable to maintain normal operations under the threat of werewolf riots. Unexpectedly, the farms around the town have encountered pests again.

If this continues, people will starve to death..."

The housekeeper said doubtfully: "It shouldn't be possible for people to starve to death. There should be at least 6 months of food stored in the grain depots throughout the town."

"I heard a saying..." Rudolph said:

“When there is a shortage of one-tenth of the food, the price does not rise by one-tenth, but rises until one-tenth of the people cannot afford it, and the price rises until one-tenth of the people cannot afford it, and the price rises to the point where one-tenth of the people starve, or even starve to death.

"

The housekeeper also thinks this matter is serious, but they still have a lot of food in the Jazz Castle, so they are not the most anxious. They still have more than a year's worth of food in stock.

In the farmland, there are still farmers cleaning bugs from wheat seedling to wheat seedling, but this efficiency is too low.

The wheat seedlings cleaned today will be covered with black aphids again tomorrow. The reproductive capacity of aphids is much faster than human cleaning.

Seeing Rudolf's eyes on the farmers, the steward explained:

"Those farmers signed a subcontracting contract with Jazz Castle. They grow food for us. They can get about 40% of the food, and the rest is handed over to Jazz Castle."

Rudolf shook his head, what a poor farmer.

He turned to Jessica: "Ms. Jessica, is there any good solution now?"

Jessica pushed up her glasses and said:

"I'm preparing pesticides and hope to have results next week.

This kind of black aphids are rare. Most aphids are green or yellow. This kind of black aphids have stronger vitality. I cannot guarantee that the insecticide is absolutely effective."

Rudolf asked the butler to help him get a bottle, and he took some samples from the back of a leaf.

Seeing Rudolph's behavior, Jessica asked in confusion: "Does Patrolman Rudolph also conduct research on insects?"

"Insects? There is no research, no research at all." Rudolph said: "It just so happens that there is a person in the police station now. With him, it is easy to find where these insects come from."

Rudolph didn't want to contact Kevin, but the impact of this incident was too great, so he had to ask Kevin for help.

The housekeeper watched Rudolph and Yin Fengna leave with a sad face, wondering if the police station could provide any substantial help.

Ms. Jessica looked at Rudolph's back with interest.

After Rudolf returned to the police station, he asked Yin Fenggna to leave first, and then went to wait for Yan Lingwen Kevin alone.

Yinkabod and Kevin were hunting down the werewolf, and Rudolph waited for two days before waiting for Kevin.

"Mr. Kevin, would you mind working overtime?"

"mind."

"Since you don't mind, then it's hard work."

"I said I mind!"

"You said you don't mind very much? That's really troublesome."

Rudolph handed the bottle containing black aphids to Kevin:

"Don't worry! I've asked the police chief to write out the approval form. There's a workload and it counts against performance. You won't let your work go in vain."

Yinkabod glanced at the glass bottle and saw black aphids inside, without saying anything else.

It is very common for the witch hunters of the Cooperation Agency to cooperate with the police station in doing some things, especially with the signature of the police chief, so he has to work overtime.

"Mr. Kevin, this kind of black aphid has appeared on the farms around Laimang Town. If it is not controlled, there will be no harvest this fall.

So, I hope Mr. Kevin can use your ability to find out where this black aphid comes from."

Kevin shook the bottle and found that the aphids in the bottle were suffocated to death. He said:

"Then it's best to find some live insects for divination. Dead ones are not as effective as alive ones."

"Then let's go to the farm tonight."

Late at night, Rudolph and Kevin came to Sir Jennifer's farm. Sir Jennifer's farm is the nearest and largest farm.

After asking the housekeeper to make sure there was no one within a few hundred meters, Rudolph found a plate of live bugs for Kevin.

Rudolf hid far away and left Kevin to divine alone.

He looked around, wary of his surroundings.

He really wanted to take out the spiritual pet crystal, which would be more efficient.

But using a witchcraft in front of the spirit is obviously a very risky behavior.

Rudolf was able to sense changes in star power through star charts, and he knew that Yan Ling used star power for divination. He wondered if Yan Ling could also perceive changes in surrounding star power.

In the sparse wheat field, Kevin took out the crystal ball, and a blue-white light glowed around him.

Soon, the light there turned dim.

After the divination, Rudolph walked towards Kevin.

At this time, Kevin frowned, as if the result was very bad.

Rudolf couldn't help but ask: "What's going on?"

"The Insect's Hive...is also the priest of the Evil God's Insect's Hive..."

"Is it the insect nest again? Direction? Where can I find the insect nest priest?"

"That's the problem." Kevin replied: "In all directions, everywhere, there are hive priests everywhere..."

After thinking about it, Kevin said:

"Rudolph, the official mission of Inkabod and I is to investigate the origin of those werewolves.

The matter of black aphids needs to be handled by your local police station.

But you must be careful, there are an abnormal number of these black aphids, and the number of priests in the insect nest is also very large, and the number is abnormal. It feels like a temple in the evil god's insect nest is in action, sending all the low-level priests nearby.

"

Rudolph sighed, what a troublesome thing.

He could only console himself with:

"Kevin, Sheriff Claude said that there was an insect infestation not only in Laimang Town, but also in other towns in Fabro City.

At least it's not the most special one coming to Mang Town, so it shouldn't be that scary."

As the two of them were walking outside the farm, they saw a woman walking towards the farmland holding a kerosene lamp.
