I'm an Aristocrat, but I've Started a Farming System - Chapter 164
c164 Visitors from the royal family
Lin En shook his head. He had no idea of going back because he knew that even if he went back, it would be useless.
Now the actual control of the Earl’s castle is in the hands of Shani Belrain. The Earl is smoking fairy dust in the room. Even the old butler Galvin doesn’t know about it. This shows one thing. The situation inside and outside the entire castle has changed. Known by Galvin.
Even if Matthew returned to his status as a senior knight and carried a magic crystal pistol, he would not be able to make waves in an earl territory.
He might as well stay in Ash Town and develop well, at least the control here is in his own hands.
“Take care of yourself first, and we’ll talk about other things later,” Linn said.
Karis didn’t say anything more, left the castle, and went to work on the affairs of the refugees.
Lin En got up, walked upstairs, and came to the storage room, where there were more than twenty bottles of recovery potions piled up. Although they were all low-level potions with average effects, they were not cheap.
This is the potion converted by the magic circle left by Harlem. According to statistics, the number of low-level recovery potions that can be produced every day is ten bottles. However, the effect of this potion is lower than that made by the pharmacist, but it is definitely better than those mixed with water. The potion is very effective.
Part of the potion produced every day is brought here, and the remaining part is left in the magic circle to continuously enhance the effect of the potion.
Thanks to the production of glass, long-term storage of pharmaceuticals has become a reality.
As long as you have enough time, you can accumulate a large amount of potions.
It is because the magic crystals are consumed relatively quickly. Perhaps this is why the Dark Church masters this kind of magic circle but does not make potions in batches.
Many things that happened during this period made Lin realize that civil strife might really break out in the Kingdom of Kais.
He must be fully prepared for the war to come in the future.
Feeling friction on her legs, Linn knelt down and picked up the little tiger.
Although the Warcraft grows rapidly, the little tiger still cannot develop obvious combat effectiveness. It is not known when the scene of fighting on the flaming tiger will be realized.
Putting down the little tiger, Linn brought up the panel and looked at the information on it.
During this period of time, he had been busy with various workshops, but he had forgotten the system tasks. What puzzled him was that no new tasks had appeared for a long time, something was really wrong.
After he got the system, a large number of tasks were released every once in a while, and the rewards he got for completing the tasks helped him quickly develop his territory.
Now he is still thinking about relying on rewards to improve his technology, but the system does not give him this opportunity.
Linn canceled the panel and went downstairs. He wanted to see how far the explosive crystal reserves were.
The city of Aulis, compared to its previous bustle and bustling crowds, seemed extremely quiet at this moment.
Most of the shops on both sides of the street were closed, and the few shops were owned by nobles with background status.
The homeless people who could be seen everywhere in the past have disappeared, and even the pub, a place of entertainment, has closed its doors.
The sound of horse hooves hitting the ground sounded, and a carriage that looked unremarkable from the outside was driving on the street, heading quickly towards the Earl’s castle.
Not long after, the carriage arrived at the gate of the castle. After the guard learned the identity of the other party, the gate opened, and Countess Shani and Butler Galvin bowed their heads.
The carriage door opened, and a richly dressed man walked out, wearing high heels and a knight’s sword inlaid with magic crystals on his waist. He had a handsome face and a pair of blue eyes with a wise light.
“Your Highness, your arrival has brought light to the Aulis Castle that has been shrouded in darkness by the dark cultists once again.” Shani praised.
“Well, let’s go in.” The man said in a tone of voice.
Galvin followed them, feeling confused and strange.
The person coming is Vito Case, the third highness of the Kingdom of Case. Among the several highnesses, he is a very talented and flexible person. He helped the king handle affairs at a young age. When he became an adult, he directly announced that he would not fight for it. Instead of taking the throne, he asked for a relatively remote territory and became a lord.
It is said that King Kais opposed his decision, but His Highness the Third Prince was very strong, and no matter how much he objected, it was useless, so he had no choice but to agree to his request.
According to His Highness the Third Highness, he does not want to see several brothers fight for the throne with their heads broken, or even die. He will not ask others to do anything, but he will not commit fratricide. .
It was words like this that made the people of the Kingdom of Kais particularly respect him.
I heard that the territory of His Highness the Third Highness is different from other places. People there live a stable and happy life, and their safety is guaranteed. Many people went there spontaneously.
This time the three princes came here, presumably because of King Keith’s arrangement.
It seems that the kingdom has noticed what happened here.
Galvin was worried. Now it was not just about the raging dark cultists. The key issue was the construction of multiple churches in the city of Aulis.
Several people came to the living room of the castle. Vito sat in the count’s seat, glanced at everyone, and asked: “Where’s Count Aulis? Why didn’t you see him? My father heard that he was in poor health, so he asked him specially. I’ll come over and take a look.”
Shani quickly explained, “The Count is really in poor health and it’s not convenient for him to see people.”
“Then let me go and take a look. It not only represents my father, but also respects me as a younger generation.”
Vito stood up and walked out directly.
Shani didn’t expect that he would be so direct, without even giving her a chance to speak.
“Your Highness, the earl’s body does not allow him to touch others. This is his order. Even I am not allowed in.” Shani hurriedly stopped him.
Vito turned his head and looked at her, with no change in expression on his face. After a while, he walked back step by step, “In this case, I won’t go there, I will let the best pharmacist in the kingdom come over.”
“Thank you, Your Highness.” Shani sighed, with a hint of crying in her tone, “Ever since the count fell ill, we have also called pharmacists, clergy, and elves, but to no avail. I am really afraid of him. ”
Her tears fell and she burst into tears.
Vito frowned slightly, “Count Aulis is a legendary figure that the kingdom cannot lack. I believe there will be a way.”
Seeing that the countess was crying, Vito looked at Galvin. He knew very well that the count’s castle could not achieve its current scale without the management of the other party. Even his father once praised him.
“Butler Galvin, I’m here not only to check on the count’s physical condition, but also to ask a few questions.”
Galvin nodded immediately, “Your Highness, you say.”
“What’s going on with the Dark Cult?”
Galvin guessed that he would ask this, so he told what happened in Aulis City recently.
“When I came here, I heard that many people in the city disappeared and were never found again?”
“Well, we have sent many people to search for it, but there is no trace at all.”
“Not even magic?”
“It’s no use.”
“So you just found the clergy?” Vito’s tone became serious.
Galvin said nothing, but looked at the countess.
Vito looked at the countess who was still crying with doubts in his eyes. He had done some research before coming here. According to his idea, the count was in poor health and could not manage the castle. The old butler Galvin should be in charge. .
After all, the development of the castle and the city of Aulis is inseparable from Galvin. Why is the situation wrong now? The management of the castle seems to be in the hands of the countess.
The relationship between the two doesn’t seem to be very good, at least it can be seen from Galvin’s performance at this moment.
Vito asked: “Madam, tell me what’s going on. You should know that the decree of the Kingdom of Kais does not allow the establishment of a large number of churches. If you violate it now, can you afford the consequences?”
Shani stopped crying and said with full of grievance, “I can’t help it. It’s the Count who insists on doing this. Dark cultists are raging in the city, and there is no trace of them at all. The mages and knights in the castle are doing it every day.” We were all searching outside, but there was no clue at all. I told the count about the situation, and he asked me to go find someone from the church.
The count said that we should first use the church to solve the problem of dark cultists, and then drive them out. ”
Galvin was silent, and there was no expression on his old face, which made Vito wonder what he was thinking.
But what the countess said is not unreasonable. It is indeed possible to use the church to fight against the dark cultists. The only people who know them best are their enemies.
However, it makes sense, but don’t forget one thing. Count Aulis is the count of the Kingdom of Kais, not other kingdoms.
If this happens to the earls of other kingdoms, they can ask for help from the church, but the Kingdom of Kais strictly prohibits the construction of churches and is even more hostile to the church.
Earl Aulis followed King Kais to develop the territory, relying on the territory gained in battles. He strictly enforced the kingdom’s decrees and never violated them.
Now it is not only violated, but also involves one of the fundamental government orders.
The earl could have asked for help from the kingdom, and the kingdom would definitely send relevant personnel to help. But now that he has bypassed the kingdom and asked for help from the church, the nature of this is different.
“Countess Aulis, are these all requested by the Earl?”
Shani nodded, “Although I help manage the castle now, these orders are all from him.”
“I’m tired, arrange a room for me to rest.” Vito did not ask again, but said slightly tiredly.
Galvin immediately took Vito to the room.
“Your Highness, you arrived suddenly. We have not prepared in advance. We hope you can stay temporarily. We will make arrangements tomorrow.”
Vito closed the door and motioned for Galvin to sit down, “What happened to the count? You should be very clear about the consequences of building a church in violation of the decree.”
“I don’t know either. I haven’t seen the count for a long time. The castle is currently managed by the lady.”
“You are the old butler of the castle, why aren’t you in charge?” Vito wondered.
“This is an order from the Earl.”
Vito’s expression was stagnant for a long time, and then he asked, “Do you have anything else to say to me?”
Galvin sighed, “I don’t know why he would do this, sir, but he is definitely loyal to the kingdom and has absolutely no other ideas.”
“Everyone knows Count Aulis’s loyalty, but after so many years, no one knows whether there has been any change. Do you have anything to add about the Dark Cult?”
“I’ll tell you everything I know.”
“Okay, get out.”
Seeing Galvin leaving, Vito rubbed his forehead. All the things happening here made him realize that there was a big problem. After receiving the news from the communication bird, he immediately went to find someone in the royal family, and through the other party Let my father know the general situation here.
His father arranged for him to come over to investigate, because his father had great trust in Count Aulis and believed that there would never be any problems with him and that everything he did must have his thoughts.
On the way here, he visited several towns and found that there were also problems of missing refugees in these towns. He deliberately took a long detour and circled around the city of Oris.
After investigation, he found that with Olis City as the center, there were more or less missing refugees in the surrounding towns. He finally came to Olis City. Without asking, he could tell just by looking at the street conditions. The problem is serious.
Both ordinary people, the countess, and the old butler Galvin all said that this was the reason why the dark cultists were wreaking havoc.
But Vito is a member of the Dark Church. He is a member of the Change Faction and will never allow their achievements to be destroyed. Moreover, even the crazy people among the Radical Faction will not conduct experiments here.
They are not fools. The Kingdom of Kais and other kingdoms that resist the church are their strong support. If even these kingdoms are occupied by the church, then they, the dark believers who exist in the dark, will be purged.
Since it’s not a dark cultist, then the question is, who could it be.
Doing things under the banner of dark cultists, and then asking church members to come and build churches, affecting the city of Oris step by step, is equivalent to driving a nail into their base camp.
Civil unrest!
There are these two words in the communication bird. In other words, the so-called dark believers are actually people from the Holy Church, but why do they have darkness and curse powers.
Vito thought that some people from the Dark Church might have chosen to betray.
No matter what the possibility was, he needed to see Count Aulis to find out what was going on with his body and why he gave such an order.
He couldn’t believe that a legendary figure could be so stupid and make such a choice that would lead to chaos.
Unless the other party really wants to betray.
If it’s the latter, then the problem is huge.
Vito felt a headache, and what was strange to him was that he did not see any of the count’s children in the castle, not even one.
