The knights hunted in the front and killed the monsters that could harm ordinary people. The soldiers were responsible for cutting down trees and processing the prey in the rear, and the ordinary workers transported food and wood back to Adry in carts.
The collection of winter supplies is proceeding in an orderly manner.
Lin Xiaoman and his companions were always "pulling weeds" in the forest. Because there were teams of knights leading the way ahead, they did not encounter any danger. From time to time, they could see soldiers carrying prey back.
Around the 10th day, after seeing a certain black plant, Lin Xiaoman's eyes lit up. He quickly hid a few small fruits and quickly pulled Olina beside him, "Olina, look, does this plant look like the 'black devil' recorded in the book!"
"What is the Black Devil?" Olina, a poor student, looked bewildered. After taking a closer look, her expression turned to fear. "Ah! This plant gives me a bad feeling. I'm sure it's poisonous! It's terrifying!"
"Of course, the black devil is terrifying. The book says that if you accidentally eat its fruit, the magician will lose his magic power!"
Learning is definitely not in vain, and her books are definitely not read in vain. Lin Xiaoman found a special existence in the magic book, a black devil that can make the magician lose his magic power.
Of course, she didn’t know whether it was true or not, but that’s what it said in the book.
Now that she was lucky enough to see the real thing, she had to show off her knowledge. Well, she said it on purpose for Olena to hear.
"Fruit, is that the one?" Orina pointed at the small black fruit the size of a fingernail and tilted her head in confusion. It felt scary, but... if she wasn't a magician, would she not have to participate in the battle and face the terrible monsters?
"Yes."
"Really? Will it lose its magic power?" Orina excitedly grabbed Lin Xiaoman's arm with both hands.
"Olina, you're pushing too hard."
Realizing belatedly that she had overreacted, Olena let go of her hand and quickly explained, "I, I just think this is too scary!"
"That's what the book says, but I don't know if it's true. I'll go find Grandpa Colin to take a look." After explaining, Lin Xiaoman turned and ran away.
"Yeah, okay." Orina stood there, looking at the dark plant in front of her timidly. She wanted to pick it, but was afraid of being discovered.
Lin Xiaoman ran towards Kelin joyfully, then deliberately fell down, "Ouch!"
A shout and a loud noise immediately attracted the attention of others.
Opportunity!!
Olena no longer hesitated. While no one was paying attention, she quickly picked three small fruits like a thief and hid them in her pocket.
Catching her little movements out of the corner of his eye, Lin Xiaoman happily made a "yeah" gesture in his heart!
"Amy, are you okay?" Angel immediately ran over and asked worriedly, "Are you hurt?"
"No, no." Lin Xiaoman stood up and patted his clothes.
"This is a forest, be careful!"
"I know, I'm just too excited." Lin Xiaoman smiled, then waved excitedly at Colin, "Grandpa Colin, come here quickly, I found a 'Black Devil'!"
"Black Devil?" Colin was surprised and walked over with a serious expression.
"Here, here." Lin Xiaoman pulled Colin to see the black plant.
"Let me see..." Colin stared at it intently for a long moment, then nodded. "It really is the 'Black Devil' recorded in the book. Ange, Olena, both of you stay away from it."
"Teacher, what is the black devil?" Ang, an illiterate who doesn't like reading, obviously doesn't know what this thing is.
"This is a terrifying existence that can cause people to lose their magic power. It's a devil sealed in hell by the God of Light!" Colin said this with a pious look of feudal superstition. "Oh, may the God of Light bless us!"
"Grandpa Colin, what if the monster eats its fruit? Will it die?" Lin Xiaoman asked with curiosity.
"Yes, teacher, if there is a high-level magical beast during the next blood moon, and we throw this black devil into its mouth, will the high-level magical beast also lose its magic power?" Ang asked excitedly.
"Amy, Ange, I'm sorry to tell you that the Black Devil has no effect on Warcraft, but..." Colin changed the subject with a hint of a smile, "I think we're lucky. The Black Devil and the Angel's Smile coexist. Look, that's the Angel's Smile."
At the root of the black plant, there is a small plant with pure white leaves. It is very small, just like a mimosa, and it is difficult to find without careful observation.
"Angel, Olena, stay away from it. Don't touch it." Colin urged the two to move away for a distance. Then he waved to the apprentices and ordered, "Moby, come here and take a good look. This is the Black Devil. It has a very unique appearance and is easy to recognize. Now, Moby, pull it out and tear it apart to kill it. Don't worry, it has no effect on ordinary people. If you encounter it next time, remember to kill it. Don't forget the angel's smile."
After the black devil was pulled out, Colin squatted down and carefully dug at the roots of the small white plant with a small shovel. Soon, the whole small white plant was dug out. Like a radish, the plant had a thumb-sized rhizome.
"Look, these are the little angels that the God of Light has sent to the world. After they are made into potions, they can enhance the magician's strength." Colin happily introduced them to everyone.
“It’s amazing.”
"Oh, this plant really does look a bit like a little angel!"
…
"Okay, let's go."
After this little episode, everyone continued to collect herbs.
Day after day, they were picking herbs everywhere, but nothing happened. Lin Xiaoman was a little anxious because Orina didn't move!
Is she going to do it herself?
If she secretly gave the fruit to Orina, would God punish her?
A little bit irritable.
This went on until October. On this day, Colin announced, "Children, the Knights have found traces of the Longclaw Giant Wolf in the north, so we will have to fight in the next few days."
"Oh! That's great!!" Angel cheered with a happy face.
Olena forced a smile, but she didn't have the courage to oppose Colin's decision.
In this way, the "weeding" work came to a temporary end, and the team was streamlined except for the eight medical apprentices, leaving only seven of them.
At daybreak, the group set out with teams of knights. After walking for two or three hours, they arrived at the area where traces of the long-clawed giant wolf were found. Then, the teams dispersed.
Angel was at the front, Thor and Leah were on the left and right, the three of them formed a triangle, Colin, Olena, Lin Xiaoman and Finger were in the center of the triangle, and the triangular formation moved slowly.
From time to time, the howling of wild beasts could be heard from afar.
