Weird Star Witch

"I have worked hard for a year, but I am still hungry. I eat in sorrow, and I laugh in pain."

I don't know which bad author changed a good sonnet beyond recognition and turned it into an ugly hymn.

However, the hymn was effective and resonated emotionally with the farmers.

Facing the sectarian gathering of hundreds of people, Rudolf had no good solution: "Let's go back first. This is not a simple grain riot."

After quickly returning to the police station, Rudolph told Chief Claude about the Harvest Goddess and stood quietly behind him.

Rudolph has been working under Sheriff Claude for almost a year. This is the first time Rudolph has seen Sheriff Claude so serious.

He stood by the window and looked out over the town of Leman.

There were several smoke pillars in the distance, and there was a faint sound of clanging. I didn't know which store was in trouble again. It was obviously a peaceful time, but it felt like a war.

"I've been the Sheriff of Lemont Township for over a dozen years, and this is the worst destruction that Lemont Township has ever seen."

Rudolf also looked out the window:

“Someone instigated people to smash, smash and loot.

They used Molotov cocktails and burned down a dozen bakeries.

They used guns and opened fire in the town of Leman, killing two grain merchants openly.

It is conceivable that in the future, in order to deal with these thugs, store owners in Leman Town will also have to carry guns. "

Although the Alchemy Council does not prohibit people from holding guns, too many people holding guns will eventually affect normal people's lives.

Sheriff Claude asked: "In other words, there is a belief called the 'Harvest Goddess'?"

"Yes. Their teachings are still very simple. The main teaching is this: Any farmer who believes in the goddess of harvest will avoid insect plagues on his land; anyone who does not believe in the goddess of harvest will have all their crops destroyed by insect plagues.

This is a good time to spread faith. The werewolf riots and insect plagues from last year to this year have made the harvest in the fields barren. "

"We underestimated those level 1 priests from the Evil God's Nest. We didn't expect them to make such a big noise."

Rudolph was also a little confused:

"If it were just the fear of insect pests, it would be impossible to incite so many people.

We have eliminated most of the insect infestation, but we have not saved the crops.

Sheriff, I have seen priests of another kind of evil god, the White Demon, in the wilderness. They always have shaved heads.

Is it possible that several evil gods and priests are committing crimes at the same time? "

The Sheriff nodded:

"I think so. The Evil God Hive, the Evil God White Demon, and possibly other priests, and the cooperation of multiple evil gods can have such a strong bewitching ability.

If it were just a heretic apostle, then it would be fine just to kill him.

If many ordinary people follow the evil god, if it is not handled well, it will turn into a more serious riot. "

After thinking about something, Sheriff Claude said:

“However, we cannot be impatient.

Wait for two days and see what's going on in the city of Fabro and what's going on in other towns.

If possible, apply for support as much as possible. Our police department alone is unable to deal with the unknown number of evil god priests in the wilderness.

Get to know the situation first, investigate first, and grasp the specific situation. "

"Okay, got it."

Rudolph left the Sheriff's Office, and Claude frowned alone. The more he thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong. Why was there so much chaos around Fabro City this year?

In the evening, before the town of Leman could receive support from the city police department and judicial office, many people took refuge.

Rudolf stood on the road outside the town and watched people entering Leman Town in carriages or on foot.

Before the grain riots in Leman Town, the grain riots broke out in Fabro City. Fabro City has a larger population. Once food shortage occurs, it will be much more serious than Leman Town.

Those who thought the city was no longer safe left the city with their families. At this time, although the living conditions on the farm of poor relatives were not good, at least they had something to eat. Unlike Fabro City, if the food supply is cut off, there will really be nothing to eat.

Rudolph sighed while maintaining order:

"Yvonne, why do I feel like eating roast goose in the Jazz Castle a few days ago, like it happened a long time ago."

"Yeah, I haven't eaten anything good since I left the Jazz Castle. The contrast is too strong." Many people poured into the town, which increased safety risks.

Rudolf saw a group of ragged children with dirty faces entering the town of Leman with the migrating team.

“Poverty makes men down and out. In the past few days, I have seen too many down-and-out men stealing and robbing.

The darkness makes children weak, and now we see children begging.

I don’t think it’s far away that hunger will corrupt women. "

Yvonne just felt sorry for those little kids.

After the beggars entered Leman Town, a child who looked to be only 6 or 7 years old said to the leading child: "Zach, I'm hungry..."

The lead child is named Zach, and he is a few years older. This does not make him hungry. Eating the same small amount of food will only make him hungrier.

Zach just turned around and glanced at a man with a stooped waist not far behind.

That was the human trafficker Townsend, also known as Townsend Halfhand, so named because he had a broken hand, and he was the master of these beggars.

In his good hand, he held an ordinary-looking wooden stick, but Zach knew how painful it would be if the stick hit someone, and it was not a pain that could be endured by gritting one's teeth.

After entering Leman Town, Handless Townsend first gathered all the beggars in an alley full of trash cans.

Handless Townsend had a sinister look in his eyes: "Start working, I'm hungry. Also, observe this town and tell me all the situations in the town."

He knocked the ground with a wooden stick to drive the beggars away.

No one dared to say a word. It was this wooden stick that made many beggars disabled.

Zach and other beggars said: "You must be careful. This is not a street we are familiar with. In a strange town, we don't know who we will meet."

These beggars wandered on the streets, followed the gentlemen and ladies, and began to rush into shops to beg for some food.

After seeing the beggars leave, Zack looked at the alley where Handless Townsend was with hatred.

How could he not hate? Half of these beggars were disabled because they did not complete the quotas they submitted and were disabled by Handless Townsend.

"Disability will attract sympathy, which is useful for your begging."

These are the original words of the handicapped Thomson.

A few hours later, it was already dark, and there were few people on the streets that were already deserted because of the riot.

A dozen beggars gathered together, trembling with fear.

"What should we do, Zack? We can't fulfill the handicapped's request, oo..."

Zack also drooped his face. He didn't expect Leman Town to be so poor. Now it's a mess everywhere. These beggars didn't get much food.

He asked around and found out that the grain riot happened in Leman Town yesterday, two days later than Fabro City.

Zack gritted his teeth. He was the oldest child here. He was already 12 years old:

"Wait for me, I'll go steal. As long as I steal some money, it will be enough to pay the quota for the handicapped."

Zack knew that it was almost midnight. At this time, there were two places where money could be stolen.

One was the tavern, but those drunk people were not careful, which was a bit dangerous.

The other one is the bathhouse.

Zach came to the bathhouse and stared at the door, waiting for a prey to come out.

He saw a man in a suit coming out and followed him.
