I'm an Aristocrat, but I've Started a Farming System - Chapter 163
c163 natural priest
Free people can leave at will without any control, but generally speaking they will not leave a place easily, let alone a city in the earl territory. The large-scale escape can only mean one thing, the situation is not Generally serious.
In the city of Aulis, there are clergymen patrolling every day, and some relatively powerful businessmen will buy the magic scrolls sold by the church. As long as they hang the scrolls in their homes, they can be protected.
At first, the price of the magic scroll was relatively cheap, but as the situation became more and more serious, the price of the magic scroll soared, reaching the point where ordinary people could not afford it.
Noli and his family have lived in Oris City for a long time and have a lot of savings. They spent a lot of money to buy a scroll and several small badges with magic circles engraved on them. They thought that this would be the end of it. It was safe and there would be no danger, but his neighbor also bought it and disappeared.
The city manager and the church clergy all said that they were missing, but for ordinary people, missing meant death.
Noli finally couldn’t bear it anymore and lived in fear every day. He might as well leave, so he fled the city of Oris with his family.
Strangely enough, Olis City did not restrict their departure.
Logically speaking, these free citizens are part of the city’s development, and the taxes they pay are an integral part of the city’s economy. When something like this happens, someone will restrict them, or at least they will not let them leave casually. .
Not only him, but also the owners of many shops on Tulip Avenue have closed their doors and left.
They left Olis City and walked out, only to find that people were missing in several surrounding towns.
Although the number was relatively small, the local townspeople thought it was nothing, but they did not dare to stay and continued walking out.
However, they also had arguments about where to go. Some people thought it would be better to leave Earl Aulis’ territory directly and go to other noble territories, while others were unwilling to go that far.
Noli and the others went all the way down the Rhine River and arrived at Ashes Town.
If someone disappeared here, they would also choose to leave, but in a different direction, because they would have to pass through the Sunset Forest if they went further down.
Listening to what they said, Linn’s brows never relaxed.
He chatted with Harlin for a long time that day and learned a lot about the Dark Cult. Although it did not involve their core secrets, at least a lot of peripheral information was revealed by Harlin on his own initiative.
The Dark Church is divided into multiple factions. To put it simply, they are the radical faction, the stability-maintaining faction, the change-seeking faction, etc. Harlem belongs to the stability-maintaining faction and the change-seeking faction. While stabilizing the dark believers, he is also looking for ways to change.
The Kingdom of Kais and several other kingdoms that are against the church are one of the main results of the Change Faction. There are a large number of Dark Church members in the core circles of these kingdoms. They control many keys, and these people are really doing things. , helping the kingdom become stronger.
The radicals will do some overly extreme things, and some of these projects are even treated as cults. Even the members of the Dark Church can’t stand it, and even condemn them, but they don’t care and still go their own way.
But it has to be said that the radicals have achieved the most results, and they have played an indispensable role in the current survival of the Dark Church.
At first, she was surprised that the Lone Wolf wanted to use her to kill Phoenix, but she didn’t think much about it. Later, she discussed it with Linn and thought that this might be a conspiracy of the church to cause civil strife in the Kingdom of Kais, and informed her of this speculation. senior members of the kingdom.
But a series of things that happened now made her realize that something was wrong. Although the several factions of the Dark Church had different ideas, they had a common view, that is, the so-called Holy Church was their eternal enemy.
The Kingdom of Kais is the result of the Change Faction, which has involved a lot of energy in the church and is also helpful to the development of other factions of the Dark Church. No matter how radical the radicals are, they will not be stupid enough to destroy this achievement.
This confirmed the conspiracy of the Holy Church. Harlem left here after completing the arrangement of the magic circle. She had to deal with this matter.
What is strange to Linn now is that the Kingdom of Kais has not paid attention to this matter. There is a problem in the territory of an earl, causing civil strife, which may lead to big trouble in the entire kingdom.
Harlem also wanted to investigate this issue.
Although Ash Town is located in the Sunset Forest and is at the edge of the Earl’s territory, it will definitely be involved in the event of a war. Fortunately, the emergence of magic crystal pistols and the start of mass production gave him a little peace of mind.
After Noli finished speaking, they waited uneasily. They were really afraid that someone would disappear here and they would need to go to another town.
Lin En naturally knew what they were thinking and said, “Don’t worry, there are no disappearances in Ashes Town. You are safe here. If anyone wants to stay, you can stay.”
Hearing the noble lord’s words, Noli and the others were all relieved.
It is safe here, and they must stay. After all, they are taking risks along the way, for fear that bandits will appear. Perhaps because of the dark cultists, they did not encounter bandits and came here safely.
Because the dark cultists left, but thanks to their appearance to scare away the robbers.
“Karis, take them to register and arrange these people.”
“Yeah.” Karis nodded.
Linn walked towards the castle with a thoughtful expression on his face.
Suddenly, he dodged to the side and stretched out his foot.
Harvey rushed out from behind, tripped and fell directly to the ground.
“Ouch!” Harvey got up from the ground, “How come your perception is so sharp? You are obviously thinking about something, but you can even hide from it.”
“Your stealth is so bad. As an assassin, you can’t even master the most basic skills.” Lin En complained casually.
Harvey immediately put his hands on his hips and said, “I’m not a professional assassin, I’m just a part-timer, you know what part-time job is.”
“Where’s your job?”
“Of course, naturally.” As if he thought of something, Harvey coughed twice, “Why should I tell you? You don’t give me money.”
“If you don’t tell me, don’t tell me.” Linn knew that Harvey, this little kid, was very mysterious. He was not as innocent as he appeared. Even if he asked himself, he would definitely not tell.
Seeing that he didn’t ask, Harvey felt a little uncomfortable, “How about you give me money and I’ll tell you, like this, one gold coin.”
He held up a finger.
Linn walked straight over and ignored him.
“How about ten silver coins, three for five, that’s the minimum I can get.”
“Forget it, let me tell you directly, who makes me a good person? I am a natural priest.” Harvey said proudly.
Lynn still ignored him.
“You should give me some reaction.”
Linn stopped, with deep eyes, “Then, what can you do, or what are you going to do?”
He looked into Harvey’s eyes and said, “Harvey, the profession of natural priest is not simple. It represents a special meaning. Before, you have always concealed your identity and even used dye to smear your skin. That is You don’t want others to know your identity, so if you tell me now, then naturally you will have your thoughts, so tell me.”
Harvey felt a little guilty due to his series of words, but he still raised his head and said firmly: “I think you are trustworthy and you can protect my safety.”
Linn didn’t answer, but walked forward, “Let’s talk about it in the castle.”
Harvey didn’t know what he meant, but he followed him anyway.
Back at the castle, Linn sat at the table, and Ellie brought hot milk and canned honey.
Lynn added a spoonful of honey to the milk, stirred it, and then said, “Do you see any change in the milk?”
Harvey didn’t know why and shook his head, “No change, maybe it just got sweeter?”
“That’s right, it looks unchanged from the outside, but the taste has changed inside. It’s like a secret. A secret that is revealed is no longer a secret. You should also know that there are many magics that can steal information. You Now that your identity has been revealed, if someone is interested in you in the future, they will be able to find out through special means. Are you still willing to continue telling me?”
After speaking, Linn took a sip of milk. The milk with honey added tasted quite good.
Harvey didn’t think twice and answered directly, “Yes, I will wash off the paint on my body in the future and help you with the help of natural magic.”
“This is all your sister”
“ah?”
“Let me borrow what your brother said.” Lin En finally rounded off the sentence, “Harlem left to investigate the dark cult. She must not trust you. You can ensure safety in Ash Town, but she thinks You are not important enough. If you want me to pay more attention to you, you can only reveal your identity.”
Harvey curled his lips, “You are really powerful, that’s what he said, obviously I can protect myself.”
“Harlin is right. The current form is different from before. I have no problem with you wanting to wash off the paint. This thing is not good for the body, but you should try to keep your identity secret and don’t tell others. Also, tell me. It’s the ability of the natural priest.”
“I can control plants and promote their growth. That old man Levin’s natural spells are not as good as mine at all, but he is more experienced. I can also apply auras, including recovery auras, healing auras, and spiritual auras.”
“How long does it last?” Lynn asked.
“About a minute or so.” Harvey thought for a moment.
“It’s been a long time. How many auras can you use at once?”
“I haven’t tried it. The most I’ve ever had is six.”
Linn nodded, “Go on.”
Harvey flexed his fingers and talked about his abilities. He glanced at Linn secretly. The other person’s expression was very dull, as if these were not enough.
“I can also mutate plants.” Harvey gritted his teeth and revealed this ability.
“What do you mean?” Linn was confused.
“That’s it. That’s how you put it.” Harvey scratched his head. He thought of what Harlin had said. If necessary, you can speak out about your talent.
“This is my talent. Harlem said, don’t tell others casually. I can change the nature of plants. I have tried it several times before. The barley changed and the wheat produced in the end was bitter.”
“Bitter?” Lin En was surprised.
“Yeah.” Harvey felt very embarrassed, “I can’t control this talent, but Harlem said it’s very important anyway.”
Linn groped his chin and muttered, “Mutation is full of uncertainty, which means we don’t know what kind of changes will happen. This is equivalent to gambling.”
Harvey no longer looked as proud as before. He always felt that this talent was of no use.
“It’s okay, just bet.” Lin En looked at Harvey, “You are still very weak now. When your strength improves, you may be able to control your talents. I will specially divide an area for you, where you can plant With all kinds of plants, you can just experiment in it at your leisure. Don’t worry about the results, just focus on the process.
In addition, in fact, you two brothers don’t have to worry about safety at all. If you do things for me, I will naturally protect you. ”
“That’s what I said, but Harlem just doesn’t think it’s enough,” Harvey kept complaining.
Lynn can naturally understand what Harlin means. She hopes that she can ensure Harvey’s safety, so that she can be sure that Harvey’s identity is very special.
Harlin is a Dark Cult, a pure human, while Harvey has green skin and is related to elves. The two are definitely not biological siblings. For Harlin to care so much, maybe Harvey’s identity involves some members of the Dark Church. secret.
Linn didn’t care about this, as long as Harvey could do things for him.
“Master!” Karis walked in.
Harvey immediately closed his mouth, drank all the milk in front of Linn, and ran out.
Karis put the paper on the table, “This is their registration information. These people are not ordinary refugees. Everyone has their own craft. I arranged a place for them to live and informed them of the rules of Ashes Town.”
Lynn picked up the white paper, “Noli, baker, Gaolan, carpenter, Kurban, winemaker, Ashley, tailor, Osana, crystal apprentice.”
“Actually, it’s about selling crystals,” Karis explained.
“Well, settle these people. If my guess is correct, more refugees will come here in the future.”
Karis said: “This is more cost-effective than buying serfs. We don’t spend any money, and we can get so many skilled people.”
“It’s a good thing and a bad thing.” Lin En sighed, “Don’t go too far to trade during this period. When you go to other towns, you must pay more attention. In addition, try to find out more about Olis City. matter.”
Karis nodded, “Sir, something big has happened in Aulis City. Do you want to go back and have a look? After all, you are the son of an earl.”
