I'm an Aristocrat, but I've Started a Farming System - Chapter 145
c145 Attack from Dark Cultists
As night fell, a black shadow appeared in Ashes Town. It looked in the direction of the castle, murmured twice, and then rushed over.
In the room, Linn opened his eyes. He could feel someone at the window and reached out to grab the knight’s sword placed next to him.
Since the last time Rafe made a sneak attack in the dark, he had made full preparations, sealed the windows tightly, and always had weapons around him.
The black shadow reached out and touched the window, and the surrounding boards began to rot and turn into ashes. Just when he was about to rush in, a fierce attack came from behind.
He rolled over and entered the castle, followed closely by Matthew.
Linn jumped up from the bed, pointing the knight sword at the opponent, “Who are you?”
Behind the black shadow, Matthew felt the energy radiating around him and said, “Be careful, it’s a dark cultist.”
Linn raised his eyebrows. He thought it was the clergy’s revenge, but he didn’t expect the dark cultists to come here.
The shadow was silent and wanted to leave.
The knight’s sword in Matthew’s hand condensed fire, and a large amount of fire elements gathered on the sword. A red lotus bloomed, and followed the blade towards the black shadow.
The shadow was filled with black energy, but it was not stable and its movements were slow. It staggered a little and was directly bombarded by Red Lotus.
Linn’s Knight Sword followed closely, stabbing straight into the opponent’s chest.
The shadow evaded hastily, but was still stabbed in the arm. With Lin En’s long sword, most of the black robe on the opponent’s body was cut open.
Matthew a knight charges.
Lynn shouted: “Keep him alive.”
After Matthew heard this, the long sword in his hand turned into a thorn and slapped the opponent hard.
A powerful force came, and the black shadow was directly bombarded against the wall. After struggling for a few times, he fell to the ground.
“Huh?” Linn was confused.
Matthew said: “He was too seriously injured. He was in the weakest state when he fought with us just now.”
He stepped forward and pulled apart all of the other party’s black robe, revealing a pale face with his eyes closed tightly and without much breath.
There were injuries all over his body, all caused by Holy Light spells, several of which were still working, preventing the opponent from recovering from his injuries.
“This is the dark cultist tracked by the church. What is he doing here?” Matthew was surprised.
“I don’t know, but he must have something to ask for. He came here with a seriously injured body. Maybe he wanted to threaten me to give him a hiding place, or even help him treat his injuries. Maybe he saw me teaching those two clergymen during the day. , thinking that I am different from other nobles.”
Lin En mentioned two possibilities. The former is the most likely, but it also means that the other party is betting on his lack of strength.
But this dark cultist should have also seen Matthew. The two knights are here, and the probability of his bet succeeding is too low.
“Maybe, he has other reasons.” Linn said uncertainly.
“How to deal with him? This is a dark cultist, an enemy of all churches. If he is really the person with a bounty on his head in Aulis City, you can take him to collect the bounty. Moreover, he killed your brother, kill him, You take revenge,” Matthew said.
Linn shook his head, “No, Phoenix was not killed by the dark cultists, but by the lone wolf.”
He told the general story so that Matthew would not misunderstand.
Matthew’s tone was somewhat serious, “According to my intuition, this matter is very involved and may eventually affect the kingdom and the church.”
“I think so too.” Linn nodded.
One inconspicuous little thing may be over in the past, but when many little things add up, it will be different.
Phoenix’s death was like a trigger, first instigating the relationship between the earl and the royal family, and then the Kingdom of Kais and the church.
The dispute between divine power and royal power cannot be settled, especially in this world where gods and supernatural beings exist.
If it had been left in the past, Matthew wouldn’t have cared about this at all. It didn’t matter who he fought with, as long as it didn’t affect his battle. But now that he has become Linn’s knight, he must fully consider his Safety.
“Sir, what are you going to do with this dark cultist? Should you hand it over, or”
“Stay and let him live.” Linn said, “This is the first time I have come into contact with dark cultists. I remember someone said before that not all dark cultists are evil. Besides, there are some things I still want to ask him. ”
Lin En walked over and took out the recovery potion. This thing was quite scarce, and he didn’t have many in his hands now.
The other party had fallen into a coma and could not drink it by himself. Lin En simply helped with his hands, opening the other party’s mouth and pouring the potion in.
Fortunately, he wasn’t in a coma and couldn’t even drink the potion.
Karis’s voice came from downstairs, and he heard the fight here.
“Go and explain.”
Matthew went out and stopped Caris.
Linn tore his torn clothes apart, preparing to see other injuries on his body before further treatment.
When his clothes were torn open, two bright, oversized rice balls came into view.
Lin En was stunned for a moment, and then put his clothes back on. He didn’t expect that the other person would be a woman.
Karis and Matthew came in as well.
Seeing the dark cultist lying on the ground, Karis said: “Master, I strongly recommend that you build a strong castle, at least to avoid such a thing from happening.”
Lin En held his head and said, “Let’s talk about the castle later. There is no rush now. There is no danger here. Go to bed quickly.”
Karis said quite honestly: “Something happens every night these days, which makes me afraid to sleep.”
“Ahem, don’t worry too much, sleep peacefully.” Lin En coughed twice, feeling a little embarrassed.
Karis then left.
Harlin slowly opened her eyes and felt that her body had recovered a little. She wanted to get up, but found that she was tightly tied.
A red-haired tiger cub in front of her was looking at her curiously.
There was a sound, and a man came in from outside the house and put down a plate of goat’s milk. The little tiger rushed over and drank it in big gulps.
“You’re awake,” Linn said, “Are you hungry? Do you want something to eat?”
“Oh, you are still tied up and can’t eat.” Linn added.
Harlem: “.”
She struggled for a few times and found that there was no way to break free. There was magic protection on the rope. She could use magic to break it, but she also knew that if she dared to do so, the other party would definitely kill her.
“Tell me why you come here.” Linn took a piece of white bread with honey and jam and ate it with big mouthfuls.
After two bites, drink a sip of milk.
Harlem just wanted to speak.
“Gululu~~”
Her stomach growled unsatisfactorily, and she felt a little embarrassed.
