I'm an Aristocrat, but I've Started a Farming System - Chapter 167

c167 save

Roland sighed, “Yes, loyalty is the most important. If you can’t guarantee this, sooner or later it will be backlashed.”

It can be seen that something happened to him, and maybe his escape was not that simple.

Lin En had no intention of getting to the bottom of it. The matter was over, and bringing up someone else’s sad story would really rub salt into the wound.

“By the way, there is also a semi-finished product for you to see.”

Roland took Linn into the workshop, where there was a dark steel cannon.

“Is this?” Linn was surprised.

“I restored it based on the cannon you mentioned, but it can’t be used yet. Compared with a pistol, it requires a stronger driving force to launch the ammunition inside.”

“Isn’t it also possible to repel runes?”

“Okay or not, the effect of the repelling runes is still too weak. I currently have two ideas. One is to strengthen the effect of the runes and see how far it can be pushed. The other is to replace the runes and use a magic circle. You I just said that there is no need to consider the cost of this weapon, so the only problem is that we lack high-level mages.”

Roland patted the cannon and made a dull sound, “There are still too few mages in the territory. Although Hamid used to be a high-level mage, he was affected. Now he can’t use high-level magic at all. Those you found Low-level spellcasters also have their own shortcomings.

However, Hamid still has experience in casting spells, and he did provide some suggestions. However, it requires the use of a large amount of magic materials, which is also the most lacking thing in the territory. Without materials, there is no way to conduct experiments. ”

Roland paused, “Even if you have the materials, you may not be able to succeed. What’s most scary is that a lot of precious materials have been used but haven’t been researched.”

Lin En nodded, “This is not a small problem. Currently, due to the influence of the Dark Cult, market transactions in various places are about to close, and the caravans that come and go are leaving. They will not come here until the situation is stable. These high-level magics Materials can only be purchased from other places, so let’s start with other aspects first.”

Linn was also helpless. High-end spellcasting materials were too precious and would not be sold in small places. The nearest large city was Oris City, where caravans coming and going brought materials from all over the place.

However, Olis City is now in an unstable state. Even if no one explains the situation in the city in detail, Linn can guess that those large chambers of commerce have left long ago.

These businessmen have a great sense of money, and at the same time they have a sense of crisis that far exceeds that of others.

If not, they would have died long ago.

As for trading across territories to other cities, the current caravan capabilities of Ashes Town are not enough.

“Yes, but I have a hunch that once this kind of cannon is made and successfully fired, it will definitely be a very powerful weapon.”

Roland has forged countless weapons. His knowledge is not comparable to that of ordinary blacksmiths, and he has always implemented the idea of ​​​​learning. It is his attitude that allows him to continuously increase his forging skills and become a master respected by everyone.

But when facing Lin En, he felt the aura of looking up to the stars. The ideas proposed by him were too advanced and completely independent of this continent.

But as he experimented with these ideas, he realized that Linn was right, and it was also extremely scary.

The current magic crystal pistol and long-range No. 2 shooting gun are so powerful that knights and spellcasters of the same level cannot withstand a single shot, but the ammunition can be continuously replaced.

A junior knight holding a magic crystal pistol is enough to kill a dozen beings of the same level.

If someone uses the long-range No. 2 shooting gun to hide and carry out a sneak attack, with its power, it can completely kill the high-level transcendent before he has no defense.

However, the probability of this is extremely rare. If you can become a high-level transcendent, there is no fool.

If a cannon is made and its power is several times higher than that of a long-range No. 2 shooting gun, does that mean that even if it has defense, it will be blown to pieces?

Roland felt like he was back as an apprentice, constantly studying and learning. This feeling made him particularly intoxicated.

“That’s natural,” Lynn replied.

When the cannon is fired, ten thousand taels of gold not only means spending a lot of money, but also means plundering wealth.

Linn did not continue to disturb Roland here, but went to the workshop where Hamid was.

Hamid didn’t seem to be surprised at all by his arrival. Instead, he asked, “Come and see the spar production?”

“Um.”

“The output of spar is relatively stable, and we have added a few more blast furnaces. The blast furnaces perfected by Master Roland are so easy to use, and he truly deserves to be a master.” Hamid sighed.

“As long as it’s stable, there will be more times to use crystals in the future.”

“It’s a war.” Hamid’s tone was full of affirmation, “For hundreds of years, the war has not stopped, but since the Holy War, it has settled down. It is not surprising that it will happen now. After all, the church is not stable. ”

Linn raised his eyebrows, “It seems like you know a lot of things.”

“This is not a secret, but all high-level transcendental beings know that after the Holy War, the church on the righteous side is collectively called the Holy Church, and the loser is called the Dark Church. The two are in opposition.

The Holy Church has always wanted to completely kill the Dark Church, but these dark believers are like rats in the sewers and are scattered in the dark areas of various cities. They are endlessly killing them. After killing one group, another group pops up. It’s really I don’t know how many these dark cultists there are.

It is said that due to the existence of gods, there is no way to completely eliminate the dark cultists. Over the years, the people of the Holy Church are still doing the same thing, and the dark cultists have also fallen silent. Now that they appear, they are still so unscrupulous, which is quite good. Strange. ”

Linn asked: “What are your views on the Dark Church and the Holy Church?”

Hamid glanced at Linn and said: “There are good and bad. It does not mean that the clergy in the Holy Church are necessarily good. At least I have seen many clergy doing things that are against the doctrine. As for the dark believers, , and there are indeed good people.

In the past, I had a friend who was a dark cultist. ”

“Oh, I didn’t expect that.”

“Actually, for people like us, we all have our own ability to judge. We all know who is good and who is bad. However, at certain times, we will also be affected by mainstream ideas, just like the dark cultists. Although I am with the other party We are friends, but I will never tell his true identity because I think he will not harm others, but others are different.

In particular, the bounty offered by Dark Cultists is extremely high, and few people can withstand the temptation of the bounty. ”

Hamid had a special tone and an expression on his face full of memories.

“Your friend was arrested?” Linn heard the meaning of his words.

“Well, he was also friends with another person. The other person told the church about his identity. After he was caught, he was locked up in the church and endured all kinds of torture. Then he was burned to ashes on Kingdom Avenue. The one who informed him People rely on their contributions to successfully enter the church and become a bishop.”

Hamid let out a long sigh, “Let’s not talk about this anymore. The matter has passed and there is no use in talking about it. I just want to say one thing. In order for the Holy Church to achieve its own goals, it will not stop even if tens of thousands of people die. care.”

“The Holy Church is so powerful, why has it never destroyed those kingdoms that openly resisted?” Linn raised his own doubts.

“It is said that the archbishops and popes of the Holy Church are busy with other things. I don’t know what they are. The power used by the church now is only one percent of what it was in its heyday. That’s how those kingdoms can exist. When they wait Once the matter is dealt with, the kingdom will be destroyed.” Hamid replied.

“So that’s it.” Linn thought thoughtfully.

In other words, there is not much time left for him.

What he did can be described as deviant, and it is absolutely not allowed on this continent. Now he is in the Kingdom of Kais, protected by the Kingdom, opposed to the church, and on the edge of the territory, in the Sunset Forest. Only then Able to develop steadily.

But once civil strife breaks out and a war breaks out in the Kingdom of Kais, it will be impossible to continue to develop smoothly.

Lynn left here.

Hamid looked at his back and naturally knew what Linn was worried about. In fact, he also liked this place very much. It was completely different from other territories.

If a war really breaks out, this place will definitely be involved.

“Hey!” Hamid sighed.

“Holy Church, what happened? Why did even the doctrine change? What happened in the Holy War back then.” Hamid murmured.

As a royal librarian, he knows a lot of knowledge and has even read some taboo knowledge. The taboo he came into contact with that time caused his strength to decline and he was cursed, but he also got a glimpse of the secrets.

The gods seemed to have had an accident.

The night is dark, the moonlight is blocked, and the earth is dark.

Linn woke up from her sleep and looked at the panel in front of her.

“Special Mission: Rescue, Vito and Galvin are hunted, on the run, save their lives, the mission rewards the truth.”

A new task appeared on the task panel that had not been updated for a long time, which surprised Linn.

Especially the content of the mission made him puzzled. Why was Galvin being hunted down? He was the old butler of the castle. Who was Vito?

In addition to the missions, there is also a map.

This made Linn even more confused. This was probably the first time that the system had given out detailed routes so considerately. In the past, he would have needed to investigate in person.

The more this is the case, the more it proves that this task is not simple.

Linn didn’t hesitate, got up directly, brought the weapon, and called Karis up.

Karis still looked sleepy.

“I’ll go out for a while, and you can take good care of the territory.”

Hearing this, Karis immediately woke up and said, “Master, you want to go to Olis City? No, absolutely not.”

“Don’t worry, I’m not going there.”

Karis felt relieved now.

Linn went to find Matthew, saying that he needed help with something, and the two of them left Ember Town in a hurry on horseback.

Karis, who was standing at the gate of the castle, looked worriedly at the two people who were gradually walking away. He knew that the master must have something important to do when he left so late.

Karis prayed silently, hoping that they would come back safely.

In the forest, two horses passed by at high speed. Matthew said nothing and just followed Linn closely.

Linn looked at the map and followed the directions on it.

“puff!”

A mouthful of blood spurted out. Vito’s breath was weak. His magic power was sealed. During this period, he had been using various methods to break it. Fortunately, he had mastered various spells and managed to break it open a little. He used magic to kill the pursuers. The enemy was defeated and the teleportation scroll was used to forcefully move the space.

After several invocations of magic power, his body could no longer bear it.

Galvin helped Vito, and the two were on the verge of a dead end. He prepared a lot of magic scrolls before going to rescue Vito, but no matter how much he prepared, it was not enough.

Vito himself had many powerful scrolls and magic items, but he couldn’t use them at all.

Feeling the breath coming from behind, Vito felt a little desperate, “It seems we are going to die here.”

Although Galvin wanted to say not to give up, in the current situation, it was useless for him to say such words.

“Escape as long as you can.” Galvin just said this.

The aura behind him was getting closer and closer, and in the darkness, a shadow was spreading rapidly.

The two stopped, and the shadow creature had come to them and restricted their movements.

They couldn’t even speak, only their eyes were filled with despair.

The shadow creatures stood up from their shadows. Their bodies were completely made of darkness. They had no faces, and it was impossible to tell what they looked like.

It made a hissing sound just as it reached out to cover their heads, trying to take away their memories.

A stream of light appeared, penetrated into the shadow creature’s head, and exploded instantly.

The incident happened so suddenly that no one reacted.

Vito and Galvin were no longer under control and wanted to leave immediately, but they were too seriously injured and couldn’t run fast at all.

Two figures appeared in the bushes in the distance, it was Linn and Matthew.

Matthew looked at the spear in his hand with surprise on his face. This weapon was more powerful than the magic crystal pistol.

They came to the two men.

Galvin was shocked, “Master, why are you here?”

“Who came to save you, what is that thing that is chasing you?”

“Shadow creature.” It was Matthew who spoke. He looked at the shadow that exploded into pieces in the distance with a solemn expression. “Hurry up and move away. The shadow creature is not killed so easily. It is reorganizing its body.”

Linn casually took out the magic crystal pistol and fired a few more shots, which only shattered the shadows again, but you could still see the shadows squirming and converging in the middle.

“Walk!”

Lin En had no ink stains and helped the two of them leave.

Just a few minutes after they left, the shadow grouped together and stood up again. It looked around, but could not find their breath.
