I'm an Aristocrat, but I've Started a Farming System - Chapter 168

c168 monster

In Ash Town, at the gate of the castle, Karis has been standing here, walking around, and looking at the end of the road from time to time.

He was very worried and couldn’t sleep at all. He had to wait until the master came back.

Not only him, but the servants also woke up from their sleep, looking up and waiting.

Finally, the sound of horse hooves sounded.

Karis immediately looked over and saw two horses heading this way.

When they got closer and saw that the master was safe and sound, Karis was relieved.

“Master, it’ll be good if you come back, I.”

Before he finished speaking, Caris saw the person on the horse and said in shock: “Is this the Galvin steward of the castle?”

“What’s going on?” Karis was completely confused. The master went out just to bring the old housekeeper back, but why was he injured.

With a series of questions in his mind, Karis also knew that now was not the time to ask, and quickly helped the other person to the hall.

Lin En asked the maid to make some food and boil some water, and then took out a recovery potion for the two of them.

After Galvin and Vito drank the recovery potion, they felt a little better.

At least he wasn’t as pale as before.

Linn asked: “What happened to you, and why are you being hunted?”

Galvin sighed and recounted their experience.

Vito didn’t speak the whole time, but was observing Lin En. They met when they were young. How should I put it, he didn’t have much impression of Lin En and didn’t have much contact with her. However, several of his brothers and sisters were very famous. big.

Some time ago, the earl separated all his children. He knew about this, but he didn’t expect that Linn would be assigned to the Sunset Forest. This was obviously letting the children die.

Thinking of the count’s appearance, Vito no longer felt strange.

The more Linn listened, the more outrageous he felt. He never expected that such a thing would happen. The count’s wife would be such a person. From their description, it seemed that the other party was planning something.

Even the Third Highness of the Kingdom of Kais was arrested and said that this was one of the keys. It seemed that all the things that happened in Aulis City were related to her.

No wonder even the clergy couldn’t find the missing person. Behind it was the Earl’s Castle. How could they investigate?

Lin En even wondered whether these clergymen were colluding with Shani.

Their purpose is to break the city of Aulis and the Kingdom of Kais and cause civil strife.

After Galvin finished telling what he knew, he looked at Vito again, “This is Vito Case, the third highness of the Kingdom of Case.”

Lin En nodded without any respectful expression.

Vito was a little surprised, but he didn’t say anything. The other party saved his life, so he didn’t need to worry about these trivial matters.

“Your Highness, I would like to know what you saw in the earl’s room?” Galvin asked.

Vito exhaled slowly and said, “The Count is addicted to pixie dust.”

He described the Count’s appearance.

What surprised him was that Galvin and Linn didn’t have any shocked expressions, as if they had known about it for a long time.

“Do you know?” Vito couldn’t help asking.

Galvin replied, “Master Linn reminded me before, and I knew that everyone who is addicted to fairy dust will become like this.”

Linn said: “The last time I returned to the castle because of Phoenix, I felt something was wrong, so I went to investigate. When I saw his appearance, I was very angry. On the way back, I kept thinking, he is not the kind of person who is easily People affected by pixie dust should have something to hide.”

“You’re right!” Vito said, “I originally wanted to restore the Count’s consciousness, but I didn’t expect to be attacked by a shadow creature. The shadow creature was hiding in the Count’s shadow and seemed to be monitoring him.”

“So that’s it. No wonder I felt like I was being watched at that time.” Lin En said thoughtfully.

“Shadow creatures are summoned to attack the enemy, and will return after completion. Very few people can sign a contract with shadow creatures. For example, the creature that attacked us can exist in the real world in time, so it must have a contract effect, but Shani does not It’s not like someone who can sign a contract with a shadow creature for a long time.

I suspect that there are others behind Shani, and that all the things that happened in Oris City and surrounding towns are related to them. ”

Vito spoke his mind.

Linn suddenly asked: “Why did the Kingdom of Kais send you to Olis City to investigate?”

Vito was stunned. They were discussing Shani’s affairs. He didn’t expect to ask this question suddenly. He paused before answering, “My father arranged for me to go.”

Lin En had been observing his expression and knew it after seeing his expression move slightly.

The message sent by Harlem was indeed received, but I didn’t expect that the upper echelon of the Dark Church in the Kingdom of Kais would be a His Highness.

Knowing his identity as a dark cultist, Linn said: “What is Shani doing all this for, civil strife?”

Galvin’s face changed greatly, “No, this. Oris City does not have the strength to have civil strife at all, and once there is civil strife, the Kingdom of Kais will fall into war, which will only give opportunities to those kingdoms that are watching them.”

“Isn’t this exactly what they think?” Linn asked back, “The Kingdom of Kaisi has always been in an opposition position to the church. The church has wanted to capture the kingdom for a long time. Now that there is civil strife, it just gives the church an opportunity. Otherwise, why would Ollie There will be so many churches in this city.

Now that the count has become like that, it means that Shani did these things. ”

Galvin was speechless. As an old butler who had fought with the earl on the battlefield, he knew exactly what the consequences would be.

The Aulis family is no match for the Kingdom of Kais at all, and no matter which kingdom will tolerate rebellion, they will eventually kill all the people of Aulis, including the servants.

If the Kingdom of Kais suffers from civil strife and is in a state of severe damage, the church will take this opportunity to attack.

The Kingdom of Kais was originally weaker than the Church, and now it is even less likely to be their opponent.

What a terrible plan.

“But why are so many people missing?” Vito asked a question he had always had. “Since they want to cause civil strife, there is no need to arrest so many people.”

“I don’t know.” Lin En shook his head, “I always feel that there is something wrong here.”

Galvin thought of the underground of the castle, “When I was rescuing His Highness, I walked through some rooms and smelled a strong smell of blood. However, these rooms were set up with magic circles. If you touch them, you will be discovered. I only have one chance.” , there was no investigation, I suspect that all those missing people were locked up inside.”

Vito recalled his investigation, “I don’t know the circumstances of the missing people in Aulis City, but the number of missing people in the surrounding towns is extremely large, at least more than 500.”

“More than a thousand people.” Galvin answered very briefly, but his tone was extremely solemn.

“In other words, there are at least a thousand people missing, so why are they arresting these people?” Vito was confused.

“Could it be that cultists use people for research?” Linn put forward his own idea.

Vito remained silent. As a dark cultist, he had been exposed to some radical experiments. Those people would use people to achieve their goals. It would not be an exaggeration to call them cultists.

What’s more, there are still some cultists who really have no humanity at all.

Seeing that neither of them spoke, Lin En also knew that they had no idea about Shani’s plan.

“You have been running away for so long. Eat something first, clean your wounds, and have a good sleep. We will talk about anything tomorrow.”

The next day.

Vito has almost recovered, but his own magic power is still imprisoned. He needs the help of a senior mage, which is not available here, so he can only rely on himself to grind it little by little.

Just last night, he had released the communication bird, presumably to notify the royal family.

On the way back, he would inevitably encounter enemies, so he was not in a hurry to return.

Walking on the streets, he found that this place was completely different from other places. Smooth and clean roads extended in all directions, each area was planned in an orderly manner, and the residents here seemed not to be affected and had no fear at all.

When he saw the serfs, Vito was even more shocked. Serfs with low status in other places were not here, and they even talked happily with some free people.

He saw the decree on the bulletin board. As long as he worked hard and earned work points, he could exchange for food, house, and even the status of a free citizen.

This is something that Vito cannot understand. Why should serfs be made freemen? Isn’t this an initiative to give away the property of noble lords?

What puzzled him even more was that these serfs were very motivated to work and did not need supervisors to watch them. Both the speed and quality were very high.

After looking around, Vito had such an idea in his mind.

Lin En is a maverick noble lord. What he does is completely different from others. If others know about it, they will definitely be boycotted or even start a war to destroy his heresy.

Just like the Holy Church, anyone who doesn’t obey them will be burned to death.

Just as he was thinking about it, there was a noise not far away, and he rushed over immediately.

The serfs were running away, and in front was a strange-looking woman. Her face was pale, but her eyes were red. Her mouth was open, and sharp and sharp teeth could be seen, and slender nails grew out of her fingers.

Her skin was an iron-green color, and she was in a state of complete loss of consciousness. However, she was not moving quickly, but staggered, as if she was not adapting.

Vito directly restrained it with a low-level magic, and he walked in to check.

The monster kept roaring.

It was struggling hard, and the low-level magic restraint had a tendency to split under its struggle.

Vito quickly bound it with two more magics, and then the monster stopped moving.

But its eyes kept turning, causing the blood to slip down and fall to the ground, making a sizzling sound.

Vito immediately shouted: “Stay away from here!”

At this time, Linn, Karis and others also came here.

“what happened?”

One of the serfs spoke about what had just happened. It turned out that they were going to work after breakfast, but the man’s behavior suddenly became weird. He shouted, said he was in pain, said he felt uncomfortable, and saw a monster.

People around her thought she was sick, and then saw the woman transform into a monster.

“Who is she and where is she from?” Lynn asked.

Karis thought about it for a moment and answered, “Osana, from Oris City, is a crystal apprentice.”

“Huh?” Linn frowned, “From Olis City?”

“Yes, a group of people came from there at that time.” Karis responded, “Master, are you suspicious?”

“Find all the people from Olis City and imprison them separately.” Linn said in a serious tone.

Karis immediately took action, called the patrol, and asked them to lock up the refugees from Olis City.

Fortunately, as soon as these people arrived in Ashes Town, Karis took notes for them, so that they could handle the matter quickly.

Inside the uninhabited concrete houses, there is a person locked in each room. Through the windows, you can look at the situation inside.

The imprisoned people were in a completely confused state, and they didn’t know why the lord did this.

Linn asked a middle-aged man, “Has anyone ever turned into a monster in Oris City?”

The middle-aged man shook his head repeatedly.

After asking multiple people in succession, they all said the same thing. There was no need for these people to lie in this regard. In other words, this was the first time that Osana turned into a monster.

Unfortunately, Osana has lost her mind and cannot communicate at all.

He came to the place where Osana was imprisoned. This was a prison that had been planned before, but only a few cells were built. After all, Linn did not expect that it would be used so soon.

In the prison, Osana was grabbing the wall. When she heard someone coming, she rushed over immediately, but unfortunately she was blocked by the iron fence and couldn’t get out at all.

Her mouth was drooling and her eyes were blood red.

Linn looked at her as if she were seeing a zombie, the two were so similar.

Vito said: “Could this be Shani’s plan?”

Lin En agreed with him, “Normal people will still have fear and fear, and will often choose to escape during battles, but if they become mindless monsters, it will be different. These monsters will continue to attack until they are completely dead.”

“These monsters have a certain degree of magic resistance, and low-level magic is not very effective against them,” Vito said.

“Their bodies are also stronger than ordinary people.”

As Linn said this, he took out his knight’s sword and cut off the monster’s arm.

The blood fell on the ground, corroding the ground, and the monster would feel pain, but it only aroused its ferocity, and Linn was surprised to find that its wounds healed at an extremely fast speed.

In a short period of time, the bleeding stopped.
