I'm an Aristocrat, but I've Started a Farming System - Chapter 159
c159 Is it possible that the gods are dead?
This sentence surprised Linn and glanced at Levin again.
You old boy has hidden a lot of things. You said before that the craftsman who wanted to find the orcs would come back again and again and would not come back until winter. Now you said that you might bring the orcs here with you.
It seems that the prolific yield of potatoes made Levin realize that they can have enough to eat in Ash Town without worrying about lack of food.
“Okay, you’re very welcome, but you have to be clear. People in the territory are not free earners. As long as you come here, you need to work.” Lin En reminded.
Levin nodded, “I know, it doesn’t matter whether they mine or do other things, or even become your guards, as long as they choose.”
“Don’t worry, I won’t force them. Just bring them here with peace of mind. How long will it take?”
“In about ten days, I will try to speed up the process.” Levin thought for a while and replied.
“good!”
Linn was looking forward to it. From Hamid, he learned the general situation of the orcs.
There are many groups of half-orcs, divided according to their different abilities, divided into fighting, planting, management, scouting, etc. Generally speaking, half-rabbits like Levin are responsible for planting crops and running tribes.
Half-bears are a standard fighting clan. It is said that adult half-bears without any training are stronger than intermediate knights, and even high-level knights do not dare to compete with them.
However, if the knights mastered combat skills and relied on them, the half-bears would not be their opponents.
However, due to their own special characteristics, half-orcs are not favored by both orcs and humans. In addition, some half-orcs are slaves of orcs. They obey the orders of orcs and have fought against elves and dwarves. These two races also have different feelings about them. not too good.
According to Hamid, the origin of the orcs is a mystery. He prefers that the other party comes from another continent, because the orcs are not welcomed by the gods. This has led to the attitude of the major churches towards the orcs being in a relatively ambiguous state. In their opinion, half-orcs are just like serfs.
Over a long period of time, the number of orcs has dropped sharply. As Levin said, the orcs who can hide their marks have chosen to leave the tribe and find a place to settle, or become mercenaries to make money to support themselves. .
Lin En has no discrimination against orcs. On the contrary, he welcomes them. As long as they can do things for the territory, there will be no problem.
After eating the potatoes, Linn served another bowl of potato and beef soup with seasonings in it. It tasted quite good.
After eating, Levin left. He wanted to bring the half-bears here quickly, because he knew that the half-bears were not good at planting. After the ravages of winter, they were at their weakest. If they were slower, Maybe some members of the tribe will starve to death.
night.
Lin En raised her head and looked at Harlin who came in from outside. She was still dressed in a neutral dress, making it impossible to distinguish between male and female.
Harlem waved his hand and the door closed.
“Sit down, it seems you want to tell me.” Linn pointed to the seat.
Harlin sat down and said in a solemn tone, “You have to know that some secrets will bring you trouble.”
“Oh, that’s it. It doesn’t matter. Have you ever seen a noble lord take in an orc?”
“I know, now I believe you have no faith.” Harlin spoke slowly. Let me ask you a question first, “What kind of existence do you think potion is?”
Lin En didn’t understand, “I don’t understand what you’re saying.”
Harlin continued: “There is the God of Holy Light, the God of Nature, the God of Forging, and the Goddess of Wealth. Potions are a very broad concept. The clergy call the water given by God holy water, but it It can also be regarded as a medicine, because it can have an effect on people, and medicines made by people are also medicines, but have you ever heard of the God of Medicine?”
Linn shook his head. He really hadn’t heard it.
“This potion should be a way to use it.” Linn paused, and he thought of forging again.
Forging is also a way to utilize ores, so why is there a God of Forging?
“We suspect that there was a potion god before, but he died.” Harlin expressed their speculation.
Linn didn’t have any shocked expression, his face was calm, and it wasn’t even as big as the mood swings he had when he knew Levin was going to bring the half-bears.
Instead, Harlem was puzzled, “Why aren’t you surprised?”
“Why should you be surprised?” Lin En asked back, “It is not normal for gods to die. People will die, animals will die, even the elves and dragons with the longest lifespan will die sometimes, and gods are no exception. Is it difficult? Otherwise, do you think that gods will last forever?”
Harlem: “.”
She calmed down her emotions and said, “It seems that you really have no faith at all, but anyone who has some faith will be afraid when they know about the death of gods.”
Lin En smiled, “Because the gods they believe in are high above the world, and all believers believe that the gods are omnipotent, and death is even more impossible. The death of other gods means that the gods they believe in will also die.
This idea is ridiculous, what have the gods given you, or what does your life have to do with the gods.”
After a pause, Linn said: “Sorry, I forgot that you have faith.”
Harlem: “This is really the first time I’ve met a person without faith.”
“There are many firsts in a person’s life, and you will see many more firsts in the future.” Lin En took a sip of milk and moistened her throat.
Harlin breathed out, “When I talk to you, I feel like I am facing the Archbishop. Let’s go back to the previous topic. We suspect that the God of Pharmacy has fallen, so both humans and other races can use the materials to prepare them. Potions, at the same time, can also use magic circles to impart potion effects.
Note that this magic circle does not require any rituals or worship. ”
Linn became interested and asked, “Can we do an experiment?”
“Can!”
Harlin drew a simple magic array on the table, added magic crystals, and formed the array. Then he took the milk in front of Lin En and placed it inside.
The magic power continued to gather, and after a few seconds, Harlem took out the milk and said, “Try it!”
Linn took a sip and said with surprise, “Recovery potion, but the effect is not very good.”
“It’s a matter of time. If you leave it for a while, the effect will be the same as a normal potion.”
Lynn looked at the milk, then at the magic circle, and finally fell on Harlin’s face, looking directly into her eyes, “Things are a bit serious. I’m curious, why are you telling me This kind of thing should be your secret, and you should know what consequences this method of batch-making potions will have once word spreads.”
“I know, that’s why we became dark cultists.” Harlem shrugged, “Of course, the worst thing we can do is to be labeled as a cultist.”
Promoting the death of the gods, and potions, which are considered gifts from the gods, can also be produced in batches through magic circles, which will cause encirclement and suppression by major churches.
Lynn tapped her fingers on the table, “The magic circle is.”
“Don’t look at me drawing it so simply. In fact, this is not an ordinary magic circle. In addition, ordinary people cannot use it.”
“Oh, what should I say?”
“We have gone through many experiments and found that only those who know the inversion of the gods can use the magic circle, and other people cannot use it at all,” Harlin said.
“Know what, Upside Down?”
As soon as these words came out, Harlin stood up instantly, with shock and fear on his face, and even subconsciously used defensive magic.
“What’s wrong with you?” Linn didn’t know why.
“You can actually hear what I’m saying. How is this possible? You haven’t seen it with your own eyes.”
“Have you ever seen something where the gods are upside down?” Lin En became even more confused.
Harlin shook his head wildly, “Stop talking, don’t mention this again, just think I said something wrong.”
Seeing her look, Lin En had no choice but to give up, “Okay, let’s not talk about this anymore, let’s talk about the potion.”
Harlem sat down, looking shocked.
“I won’t stay here for too long, but I can carve a stable magic circle for you. You only need to add magic crystals to keep it running. Add ordinary water to it to have a restorative effect. But if you use materials to make it, The effect will be better.”
