Rorschach recalled his conversation with the Mill Master, who had mentioned the credit for the increased grain yield.
"What's this about the increased grain yield?"
"Some outsider brought some so-called Holy Water, saying that if you soaked the seeds in it, the wheat would grow more abundantly. The villagers were all skeptical. Even the ones who believed him the most didn't soak all their seeds, just tried it on a small patch of their fields."
The village chief recalled, then muttered in confusion, "But this year, every field had a bumper crop, regardless of whether the seeds were soaked in Holy Water or not..."
'A coincidence, or has the Mother Goddess's contamination already spread?'
Rorschach told them to hurry to the granary and check the new grain.
"No need! I saw we still had last year's grain left, so I used all of this year's harvest to make wine. It's all in the cellar..." Old Mercer dropped another bombshell.
