I'm an Aristocrat, but I've Started a Farming System - Chapter 160

c160 empty town

Two carriages were driving on the road, with several people guarding them.

Bob was riding on the horse, holding the knight’s sword firmly with one hand and looking around vigilantly.

“You don’t have to be so nervous. I’ve never seen you like this before when we were in the tavern.” Crow next to him complained, “If the people in the tavern knew about it, I’m afraid they wouldn’t believe it.”

“Cro, this is the first time we have followed the caravan out. You should know the importance. This means that the lord trusts us, but it also represents an assessment. If it is successfully completed, we will pass the assessment. If something goes wrong, maybe we will There is no way to stay in Ash Town.” Bob shook his head and said seriously.

“You’re right. I don’t want to go back. Ash Town is a really special place. I like it very much. I’m going to bring my family here over time.” Crowe expressed his thoughts, “My My wife is an excellent seamstress and I believe she can find a suitable job here.”

“Nonsense, so many waterwheels were built along the Rhine River just for weaving. Tailors are especially welcome to come. I have the same idea as you and want to bring my family over, but it is difficult for my son to agree.” Bob felt worried.

“Your son has the talent of a mage. He should soon become an official mage, right?”

“How is it possible? The mage is not that simple. He is still an apprentice. But I believe that with his talent, he will definitely be able to break through. Our family really did not expect that there would be a spell caster. All the money I earned before was given to him. I also made a lot of money working in Ashes Town during this period, and I plan to send it over after a while.”

Bob’s face showed pride when he mentioned his son.

The status of mages is much higher than that of knights, and mages are more likely to be favored by nobles, and they may be named nobles.

“I’m so envious!” Crowe said from the bottom of his heart.

The two chatted and did not relax their vigilance about their surroundings.

The two of them were assigned to guard the caravan, which was an obvious sign. As Bob said, the Lord not only trusted them but also tested them.

Karis in the carriage listened to the conversation of the knights outside, and was thinking in his heart.

He has been to three towns and sold a large number of products. Among them, cloth sold the most, and glass sold part of it. No one bought perfume at all because the price was too expensive and only nobles could afford it.

After preparing to go to the next town, he headed to the nearest city, where he believed he could sell all the remaining products.

In addition, he also needs to purchase a batch of supplies. The Red Heart Lion Caravan has not come back for some time, so he has to buy some rare things by himself.

The carriage stopped, and Karis heard surprised sounds outside.

“What’s wrong?”

Caris came out of the carriage.

Bob’s face was serious, “Something’s wrong, Crow, you watch here, I’ll go over and take a look.”

He rode into the town.

This town is called Violet Town. There is a violet flower field. It not only sells violet flowers, but also sells a kind of perfume. The price is not expensive and is especially popular among free people. Because of this, every household will plant violets. For other products, There are also more demands.

The town is not big, but you can tell from the houses on both sides of the street that the people living here live a pretty good life.

But now there is no one on the street, it is empty, the wind blows, and the violets are blown up.

Bob drew his knight’s sword and looked around with vigilance. He saw the door of the bakery open, white bread scattered on the ground, and the cloth in the tailor’s shop was cut, as if it was a battle.

Not only the shops, but also the houses were empty of people.

Bob checked around, returned to the caravan, and told the steward about the situation in the town.

After hearing this, Karis asked them to take him to see it.

Seeing the appearance of the town, Karis did not hesitate and asked them to leave immediately.

He didn’t even go to the city, but returned directly to Ashes Town.

“Master, something happened.” Karis shouted.

Linn was looking at the potion when he heard Karis say, “What’s the matter?”

Karis told all the strange things about Violet Town, and he said worriedly: “Could it be the Dark Cult? I have been to the town many times, and there are at least hundreds of people there, but now everyone is gone. ”

“Is there any sign of anything wrong?”

Lynn asked Bob and Crow to come over and question them.

Bob thought about it carefully and said what he found wrong, “I found traces of fighting, but there was no blood, and there were no traces of dragging on the ground. It seemed like these people had resisted.” , but when they resisted, they suddenly fainted.”

“Who do you think did it?” Lynn asked.

Bob shook his head, “I don’t know, even the most powerful thieves would not do such a thing. As for the mercenaries who catch people and sell them, it is impossible to attack a town, because the town belongs to the lord, so The result will only be that they die faster.

I think the person who takes action is very special, there may be a spell caster, otherwise it would not be possible to achieve this level. ”

“Are there any traces around the town?”

“I checked around the town and there are no traces of leaving the main road. I don’t rule out that the other party used special means to erase them.” Bob answered.

“That’s the Dark Cult.” Karis said, “Only they can do such a thing.”

“But why do they do this? The dark cultists are now rats in the sewers and cannot see the light at all. What’s more, there are clergymen of the church who are looking for them, but they attack the town, so they are not afraid of being found?” Lynn said .

Karis thought about it and realized that this was indeed the case, but who else could do such a thing besides the dark cultists.

“Hundreds of people disappeared. They did not take away any money. The other party was obviously not a mercenary, nor was it anyone organized. After all, even a knight would not miss gold coins when doing such a thing. That is to say, the other party only targets people.” Lin En expressed his guess.

“You go back first and don’t make any noise about this matter.”

Linn left the castle and walked towards the workshop area.

He came to the place where Harlin worked, an ordinary house, but with a huge magic circle carved in the middle. The magic circle had not been completed yet, and Harlin was resting and recovering his magic power.

“Why are you here suddenly?”

“Karis encountered something when he went out. I thought it was a little strange and wanted to come over and ask you.” Lynn told the story in detail.
