Weird Star Witch
Chapter 56 Black Aphids
Under the leadership of botanical expert Jessica, Rudolph came to the Jazz'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 after aphids feed on them.
Rudolf looked at the wheat fields that were sure to be barren, feeling a little desperate. The wheat field is vast and stretches as far as the eye can see, but the leaves are 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 grain prices.
Of course, we do not rule out other farms doing this, but among our five farms, we definitely do not and will never do this.
As you can see, this year's grain harvest will definitely be affected and may even fail.
In order to cope with this situation, the output of grain from the granary has slowed down, so the price has increased. There is no way around it.
Sir Jennifer and Ms. Jessica both mean to deal with the pests first and even prepare to harvest the food 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 increase by one-tenth, but the price increases until one-tenth of the people cannot afford it, and the price increases until one-tenth of the people cannot afford it, and the price increases until 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 inventory.
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 anything you can do now?"
Jessica pushed up her glasses and said:
"I'm mixing the pesticide 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? 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 Yvonne leave with a sad expression, wondering if the police station could provide any substantial help.
Ms. Jessica looked at Rudolph's back with interest.
After Rudolph returned to the police station, he first asked Yvonne to leave, and then went to wait for Yanling Kevin alone.
Ichabod and Kevin were tracking down the werewolf, and Rudolph waited two days for Kevin.
"Mr. Kevin, would you mind working overtime?"
"mind."
"Since you don't mind, then it's hard work."
"I said I don't 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 as performance. You won't let your work go in vain."
Ichabod glanced at the glass bottle, which contained black aphids, and said nothing.
It is very common for the witch hunters of the Cooperation Agency to cooperate with the police station in doing some things, especially if they have 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 the town of Leman. If it is not controlled, there will be no harvest this fall.
So, I hope Mr. Kevin can use your abilities 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 butler to make sure there was no one within a few hundred meters, Rudolph found a plate of live bugs for Kevin.
Rudolph stayed away, leaving 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 Yanling is obviously a very risky behavior.
Rudolph was able to sense the changes in star power through the star map, and he realized that Yan Ling's divination used star power. I wonder if Yan Ling can also sense the changes in the 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 dimmed.
After the divination, Rudolph walked over to Kevin.
At this time, Kevin frowned, as if the result was not good.
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..."
"Another insect nest? Direction? Where can I find the insect nest priest?"
"That's the problem." Kevin replied: "In all directions, everywhere, there are hive priests everywhere..."
Kevin thought about it and said:
"Rudolph, Ichabod's official mission 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. "
Rudolf sighed, what a troublesome thing.
He could only console himself with:
"Kevin, Sheriff Claude said that there is an insect infestation not only in Leman Town, but also in other towns in Fabro City.
At least Leman Town is not the most special one, 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.
