Chapter 109: bizarre case
After the banquet was over, Ole came back from the dusty place.
When he learned that Willy was promoted to a knight, Ole's reaction was exactly as Baron Kells predicted.
Pride, joy, and some embarrassment, as if he hadn't taught anything yet, the students started teaching by themselves.
This is a strange feeling that is hard to describe.
After saying goodbye to the Baron's family and Ole, Willy also returned to Fandoutun with Veria.
In the next half month, Willy let himself relax for a while. He did not rush to continue to practice the intermediate stage of Frost Knight's breathing method, but carefully surveyed Fandoutun for some days, and talked with Old Joel and Lake. We discussed a lot about the future development of Fandoutun.
Originally, Willy wanted to continue to rest at home for a while, but Dan came to Fandoutun specifically to visit, and told Willy euphemistically that at the beginning of the new year, as the vice-captain of the Guards Department, he should work diligently.
He had to set an example of hard work.
Although Willy was very reluctant to spend such a leisurely day, Dahn's kindness reminded him that he still had to accept it.
On the twentieth day after the end of the new year, Willy returned to the Janissaries.
Guards Department, in Willy's office.
Stacks of thick documents were placed on Willy's desk, almost filling up half of the desk.
These were the days when he was not in the GI, and Sandor handled the various documents on his behalf. At this time, he needed to review it again.
"Thanks to Sandor..."
Willy muttered in a low voice as he turned the pages. These boring words made him feel very boring. If it weren't for the fact that he wanted to create a diligent image in front of his subordinates, he really wanted to leave here.
Willy flipped through it boredly, and suddenly, when he flipped to a summary of police cases in Diamond Town, an interested expression appeared on his face.
The security of Diamond Town and the surrounding villages and villages is completed by the guards. Although the personal soldiers are signed as the working places of the personal soldiers, their subordinates also include the guards. Therefore, the summary of the security incidents of the Guards must be reported to the Guards Department.
On the last day of each month, the guards report all security incidents that happened that month into a simplified version for Willy to see in person.
And the case that made Willie interested appeared in the briefing.
"Mysteriously missing poultry..."
Willy sat up straight and read the entire brief without a word.
In Stone Village, south of Diamond Town, a series of rather bizarre things happened a few years ago. The poultry in the village have been disappearing continuously since one day. But every morning, the villagers' homes that were stolen did not show any signs of being tricked.
So some villagers began to stand guard in the middle of the night, trying to catch the thief directly. But when that night came, the villagers who were standing guard in the middle of the night were frightened.
According to the villager's recollection, that night, the dark clouds were thick and the stars were dim, and only a faint cloud of pale moonlight shrouded the entire village.
The chickens and ducks, who were sleeping in the yard originally, seemed to be ordered by some kind of mysterious call at the same time. They got up at the same time, lined up in a line, and stepped forward in exactly the same movement, following the planks against the wall, jumping out of the yard and disappearing into the darkness.
This seemingly bizarre and absurd statement was described by the villager when he came to Diamond Town early the next morning to report to the guards.
He also said that at that time, he was completely frightened, he didn't even dare to breathe aloud, he hadn't slept all night, and he didn't dare to come out of the house until dawn.
The guards who received the report didn't believe it at first, but because of regulations, they sent two or three people to verify the situation.
After investigation, the poultry theft did happen. But that weird scene was only seen by the villager who reported the case.
Under the begging of the villagers, a guard was stationed in Stone Village for three days. But during those three days, the poultry loss never happened again, and the guards returned to Diamond Town.
That said, the case is now at an unresolved stage.
The guards who participated in the investigation, including Sandor, who reviewed and verified on behalf of Willy, all believed that the reporter of this case was insane, and it was difficult to provide valid evidence with words.
But in Willy's view, this is not the case. What the villager said is likely to be true.
Because of this seemingly bizarre method, he can do it himself.
The knowledge and animal taming techniques conferred by the title of intermediate animal trainer can allow Willy to cultivate certain unconscious habits and make these poultry form a certain conditioned reflex. This degree of manipulation can also be achieved after making some animals instinctively combine with the external environment and emit certain signals.
The villagers may have been frightened by the situation at the time, so they did not pay attention to whether there were any specific signals at that time.
For example, there is a frequency of sound or other signs.
"It is interesting……"
Willy finally found something of interest.
Could it be that in a small stone village, there will also be a master animal trainer?
Willie, who has been going back and forth between Diamond Town and Fandoutun, suddenly felt that he could use this opportunity to start a tour of the villages and villages under his control.
"Guards!"
Willie shouted.
Immediately afterwards, a guard with a crossed sword on his waist walked in.
"Master Willy."
The guard bowed and saluted, waiting for Willy's order.
"Call Dahn."
Willie ordered.
Sandor usually handles a lot of government affairs, and Dahn is relatively relaxed, so he chose to let Dahn be in charge of the arrangement for this matter.
"Yes."
Not long after the guards left, Dahn came in a hurry.
"Captain, what instructions do you have?"
Dan asked.
"Look at this."
Willy handed Dahn the summary of the bizarre case.
Dahn showed a strange expression. In his impression, it seemed that Willie had never cared about the work of the Guards Department, and he had never seen him seriously examine the documents several times.
However, he still took the overview and looked down at it in detail.
"I remember that this case seems to have been resolved by default. After all, there is no subsequent loss of poultry in the future."
Dahn also had an impression of this case and said to Willy.
In this era, small troubles no longer occur, and the guards will no longer consume manpower to deal with this matter, after all, it is too trivial.
"This case is very interesting. You arrange a few people for me..."
After a pause, Willy changed his words again: "Just you and me, let's go to Stone Village together to investigate the beginning and end of this matter."
"you……"
Dahn was in disbelief for a while. As for this small case, the captain, who has always been ignorant of government affairs, actually wanted to investigate it himself?
