Mage Joan

Chapter 195: Miss Martha (Ⅱ)

Martha Castis noticed Joan's strange behavior.

She didn't understand why the gentle and quiet boy had to glance at the note before talking about the business, and the tone of the speech was slightly rigid. Like a person who was not good at speaking, he was forced to stage to recite the written manuscript written in advance.

The accomplishments of all the ladies have made Miss Martha hide the curiosity in her heart. She didn't pursue Joan's strange behavior. He listened carefully after he had finished speaking before answering.

"Mr. Vader, I have seen the figure of strange insects more than once across the glass window behind me. From a distance, they look like giant brown lobster shrimp."

"Please forgive me, I can't make a more detailed description, because I dare not get too close to those monsters, and they are very alert."

"I tried to shoot the monster through the window, but unfortunately a small lead shot could not kill the giant bug covered with a hard carapace, and when the gunshot sounded, the monster quickly drilled back to dig ahead In good caves, they can no longer be traced."

After listening to Miss Martha's story, Joan first confirmed that the monster lurking in the garden was indeed a "ground worm".

Miss Martha said that they are like "giant brown pipa shrimp", which is exactly the same as the illustration on "Monster Book"!

In addition, Joanne realized that Miss Martha was not as weak as it seemed.

A woman who dares to shoot a ground worm with a gun must have a strong heart.

"Miss Martha, do you know how many earthworms lurking in the garden?"

"These monsters all look about the same length. The exact number is uncertain. I have seen at most three monsters at the same time. The total number may be four or five."

Martha Castis noticed the change in Joan's complexion and hesitated for a few seconds before speaking again.

"Mr. Vader, please let me take the liberty to ask, do you have any other helpers?"

"I'm the only one." Joan confessed.

"Are you... sure to deal with so many monsters?"

Miss Martha frowned.

Joan had expected that she would have such concerns.

Although he didn't have enough confidence in his heart, in order to comfort Miss Martha, and to earn the 500 gold coins, he still pretended to be brave and took out a bottle of insecticide from the storage bag and showed it to her.

"This is a high-concentration special-effect pesticide I have formulated, and it is spilled on the earthworm. Even if it cannot be killed, it will at least make it weak and weak, and then it will be easy to deal with."

Miss Martha really turned his worries into joy as he wished, and said with a smile: "Since you have been prepared for a long time, I can rest assured."

Joan glanced at the note in his palm and raised his head to ask Miss Martha: "Can you take me to see the garden where the monsters infest?"

"Of course there is no problem."

Miss Martha got up and walked to the back door of the living room, stopped a little in front of the window, and waited for Joan to follow him, and said softly to him: "You can observe the movement in the garden through the glass window, look carefully across the pond, and there is a lot of gravel on the grass. heap."

Joan nodded and replied while looking through the window: "It looks like a large mole hole, one two three four... there are five holes in total."

"That's right, that's the tunnel exit excavated by the monsters. They are basically moving around the cave, and in a few days they ate the rabbits, lambs, cats and dogs in the garden..."

Miss Martha sighed.

"If my sister returns home and learns that her pets in the garden have been killed by strange insects, I don’t know how sad it is. Because of this, I have to make up a lie and tell her to stay at school on weekends and don’t go home for now. ."

"Lingmei will know the truth sooner or later." Joan disagreed with Miss Martha's approach.

"I also know that I can't lie to her all the time, but... Alas, my sister is not in good health and is easily susceptible to illness when she feels excited. Wait until this matter subsides and explain to her slowly."

Miss Martha didn't seem to want to talk to outsiders about her own troubles, and raised her hands to knock on the glass windows.

"The window looks fragile, but in fact it has been blessed with magic, it is very strong, and the monsters can't break in."

Joan had long noticed that the windows and the iron door leading to the garden exuded magical waves.

After listening to the introduction of Miss Martha, he concentrated on identifying carefully, and found that the doors and windows were fixed with a ring of "door sealing", which was indeed difficult to destroy by brute force alone.

Miss Martha led Joan to the iron gate, held the door handle, and chanted the opening mantra.

"Ando!"

The magic light that appeared on the surface of the iron gate immediately converged at the moment the curse sounded.

Miss Martha pushed forward, the iron door creaked open, and the fragrance of grass and flowers floated head-on.

Joan walked out the door and looked around.

There was stillness in the spacious garden. Shrubs that had not been trimmed for a long time obscured the winding path. The breeze blew through the treetops, revealing a breath of palpitation in the quietness.

Right next to the door, stood a "Activated Scarecrow" that Joan was no longer familiar with, holding a broom in his right hand, and a wooden pot lid that served as a shield in his left hand.

Hearing the door open, the activated Scarecrow turned awkwardly.

Mudiao's face did not show any expression, and two blue lights were emitted from the eye sockets inlaid with glass beads. After touching Miss Martha, she recognized the identity of the hostess and bowed deeply to her.

"This'Activated Scarecrow', named Tata, usually works for the gardener Boer in the garden."

Miss Martha looked sad.

"The day before yesterday, Old Boer was attacked by a monster and seriously injured. He is still lying in bed and unable to get up. Only Tata is looking after the garden.

"Skinny scarecrows can't deal with huge monsters. I'm worried that Tata will be swallowed by monsters, so let it stand at the gate and stand guard. If the monsters come close, knock the door with a broom and call the police."

"It's very competent, Miss Martha, can you leave Tata here, and I will need it to help when dealing with earthworms," ​​Joan said.

"Of course, but, I doubt how much help a scarecrow can give you, or should I call out a few servants to come over and take up arms to help you deal with the monsters?" Miss Martha asked with concern.

"That's not necessary, so that no one will be hurt by the earthworm."

Joan further explained his reasons for leaving Tata to help.

"The scarecrow is at least not afraid of pain, and I also noticed that it was equipped with a ‘spring barrel’, which was able to release ‘horror’ 3 times a day, and could be used to scare off ground worms if necessary.”

Miss Martha appeared suddenly and said a little embarrassedly: "I almost forgot that you are a student of Master Rawls and know the activated scarecrow better than me... This amulet is for you, you can order Tata with it ."

Joan took the ivory amulet from Miss Martha and found that a series of elven spells were engraved on it, which was the "secret key" used to direct the "activation of the scarecrow".
