Chapter 400: Second meeting with the above (13)
"I want to talk to the village chief." said Deputy Minister Su of the General Staff.
Ye Na nodded, gave Deputy Minister Su a fruit salt, and signaled the village chief to follow him.
"Who does Vice Minister Fan want to find as a tour guide?"
"Help me find someone who is familiar with the environment outside the village."
Ye Nai took out another piece of fruit salt and said, "Is there anyone else who wants to take the job? I want someone who is familiar with the environment outside the village to take this officer for a walk outside the village and take a look at the surrounding environment."
"I, I, I, I come, I come. I am not only familiar with the areas outside the village, I am also familiar with other villages."
"I'll come, I'll come. I know the location of every rabbit hole outside the village."
"I'm not here to hunt. You're useless. I'll do it."
Seeing that the great witch was really offering rewards, more and more people jumped out to compete for the last chance, and men and women pushed and shoved each other.
"Huh?" Ye Nai grunted threateningly, and the crowd that was making a lot of noise immediately stopped.
Deputy Minister Fan and the others glanced at Ye Nai with a little surprise. They didn't expect that she would have such a deterrent power here. However, no one of them said anything.
In the end, the boy who claimed that he was familiar with all the rabbit holes outside the village was picked up by Deputy Minister Fan, and Captain Lin went with him.
After Ye Na packed up her car and sent the villagers away, she opened the portal openly and left alone.
This time, she went directly to the former knight's country estate.
Fortunately, she had been here last time, and the spores left behind helped her locate the portal, so the portal was directly opened in the attic of the manor house.
She stopped and made sure that no one was in the attic. There were only a few beds for servants and some simple furniture inside.
Afterwards, she immediately communicated with the fungal mat that had grown on its own in the soil outside over the past few years, released spores, and took all the men, women, and children in the mansion into the space.
A few seconds later, people came into the space with a crackling sound.
After no one else entered, Ye Nai slowly walked down the stairs to the lobby on the first floor.
As she walked along the way, comparing the knight's mansion with her memory, she found that the house had been renovated, the wall coverings were new, and the portraits and various decorations on the walls were also new.
Fortunately, the layout of the room has not changed. Ye Nai walked into the large living room. The four large windows on the left had new window frames, the fireplace on the right had also been replaced with a new style, the sofa under the window and the bookshelf and chaise longue on the wall opposite the door were all brand new.
The whole living room gave people a completely different feeling from the last time. It seemed younger and there was no sign of the heritage of several generations of old aristocrats.
Ye Nai had no intention of finding out who this new noble was. Instead, she opened up the space and piled all the people who had just been taken in into the spacious transition area between the sofa, coffee table and fireplace wall.
Then, she picked and chose, and separated all the masters' families from the men and women dressed as servants.
Before putting it into the space, Ye Na took a look. It was a middle-aged couple with four children, one girl and three boys, with the daughter being the oldest.
As for why the male owner was at home instead of going to the battlefield, Ye Nai was not curious. She put these people into the space, opened the portal to the Dongling Secret Realm, and threw them into the prisoner camp where the former knights were.
When Ye Na and his group came over earlier, the bright light woke them up. Now, just after they had slept for a while, the light came on again.
Several young men climbed out of the tent to take a look.
"Great Witch, is there something that brings you back again?" "Nothing, just to bring in a new prisoner."
"New prisoners? Where were they captured?"
"Haha, this family got the former knight's territory."
Ye Na threw down these words, left behind the new prisoners, three military tents and a pile of daily necessities, clapped his hands like wiping away dust, and walked through the portal.
The women and children of the former knight's family came over quickly, and the other onlookers stood by with torches in hand, watching from a distance, feeling a sense of gloating.
The ones who felt the happiest were naturally the former knight's family, but Yenne didn't care how they would torment this new family of companions. She was only thinking about one thing now - to confiscate their property.
They copied everything the same way they had copied it last time. All the guards patrolling the manor were knocked unconscious and thrown to the ground, and all the warehouses, cellars and wine cellars were emptied.
After moving, Ye Na was still not satisfied, thinking there were too few things. After all, she was new and didn't have much experience.
After confirming that everything was done, Yenne opened the portal and headed back to the small square in the center of Bergen Village.
When the villagers saw the chief witch coming back, they were all very calm and bowed or knelt to greet her as they passed by her.
Ye Na nodded in return, walked to the edge of the square and put up the apricot awning to provide shade, then took out the long table and ton-barrel water tower, washed all the cups, leisurely boiled water to make tea again, and played the video game while waiting for the deputy ministers to come back.
From time to time, children would come over attracted by the sound of the game console, and Ye Na would give them some fruits from another world and let them go play on the side.
The villagers of this era did not have very good hygiene habits, so it was normal for Ye Nai not to want people to get too close.
After sitting like this for more than half an hour, the two deputy ministers Su and Cheng who had been visiting the village came back first. The secretaries and staff officers took a lot of photos, and while sitting down to rest, they imported the photos into their laptop computers, which they always carried with them. They also highly praised Ye Nai for the great usefulness of the translation mushrooms.
The village chief sat beside her cautiously, and Ye Na asked him to go home and get a cup of water so that they could drink some water and chat.
More than twenty minutes later, Vice Minister Fan and his group returned.
As soon as they sat down, Yenne put away the game console and asked where they wanted to go next.
"Well, does the high witch have any suggestions?" Deputy Minister Fan broke out of the sweat, took out the notebook in his arms and used it as a fan, fanning himself gently.
As they visited the place separately, they found out why Yenna was called "the Great Priestess" here, and they all smiled.
"Want to check out the former knight's territory? I just cleaned it up."
"...Ah?!" The village chief who was sitting next to him was so scared that he stood up and asked, "High Witch, when did you go there?"
"You guys go and visit separately and I'll go over. I've been sitting here for a long time since I came back."
Ministers Su and Cheng, who had returned earlier, only then remembered, "When we came back, we saw you sitting here and thought you had been waiting here. It turns out you had already been there and came back?"
"Yeah, I'm very fast in combat."
Ye Na smiled and nodded to everyone, then turned to the village chief and said.
"Bergen Village is next to Bergen Fort, which is about to be put into use, so I will protect you. If everything goes well for me, maybe you will have new opportunities to make money."
Ye Nai was not making empty promises to the village chief. Instead, according to the practice of the Dahua Kingdom, once they started growing mushrooms here, as the scale of cultivation expanded, they would inevitably need to hire local workers.
