Release that Witch - Chapter 125

[Chapter 124 Returning to the Town]

“This is probably the day I’ve seen you lie the most,” Nightingale said after Taylor left.

“Who told the person who came to be the high priest of the church?” Roland spread his hands, “How about it, can you tell the other party’s lies?

” Darkness.” It’s

a pity that the high priest cannot be treated like a nobleman, Roland thought regretfully.

He put the two pills on the table, “Tell me, this thing is really as magical as they say?”

Morphine can relieve the pain, but it sounds like adrenaline to make the soldiers stronger. Effect, the question is to extract these two substances to make a pill?

The Church should have conquered the world long ago with this level of technology.

Wait… Roland suddenly thought of a possibility, could it be related to magic power?

“Can you see the flow of magic power?” He looked at Nightingale, “Is there any magic power on these two balls?”

Nightingale observed carefully for a while, “I can’t see magic power, but it is a bit like God’s Stone of Retaliation. ”

God’s Stone of Retaliation?” Roland was stunned.

“Well,” she nodded, “You have also seen the world under the mist, only black and white, but that kind of black is different from the darkness formed by God’s Stone of Retaliation, the latter is more like a hollow, turning the surrounding The world was swallowed into it. I don’t know how to describe that feeling…” Nightingale hesitated, “Rather than saying that the cave is pitch black, it would be better to say that there is nothing inside.”

“Nothingness?”

“Yes, nothingness, “She nodded and said, “These two balls also have traces of nothingness, but they are extremely subtle, and…not round holes, but rather black filaments flowing.”

“These nothingness can affect you .

ability?”

Nightingale grabbed the pills, opened the mist, and quickly retreated, “It doesn’t seem to have any effect.”

“It seems that it is necessary to find a death row prisoner to try these two pills to see the effect,” Roland said. The paper carefully wrapped the balls and put them in his arms.

“I didn’t expect the church to be so optimistic about you,” Nightingale sat back beside the prince, and said gloomily.

“If the high priest didn’t wear God’s Stone of Retaliation, I bet nine out of ten sentences are lies.” Roland curled his lips, “The most important point is that what they did and what they asked for did not match up at all. ”

Why?”

“Look at what they want: more churches, more believers, a prince or king supported by themselves, and from now on, they will be able to fulfill the propaganda of the divine right of kings. A stable country is more conducive to their development Believers, develop your power. Otherwise, churches and monasteries will become targets of robbery by refugees and nobles under the years of war.”

“But don’t they just see that you can bring a stable life to the people?”

“Not really,” Roland shook his head, “Stability comes from unity or balance. Even if the king eats, drinks and has fun every day, the people of the unified country are better off than the refugees in the flames of war. So it’s not surprising that they support the second prince, and it’s not surprising that they support the third princess. It would be too strange to support me—especially when Garcia won a big victory.”

If the church fully supports Garcia at this time, I am afraid that the royal capital and the Eastern Front will be swallowed by her in less than half a year.

At that time, 70% of the land in the Kingdom of Graycastle will belong to the Queen of Clear Water. Roland thought that the pressure he would face would also increase greatly.

Instead of helping the strong, I choose myself who seems to be the weakest at present. It seems that the decision of the church is beneficial to me.

But assuming that I accept their support, the situation of the battle between the two kings of Graycastle will become more chaotic. The direct consequence of staging the alien version of the Three Kingdoms is that the population will drop sharply, the wealth will be lost rapidly, the war will spread to the whole country, and the unification date will be delayed Procrastinate.

How does this benefit the church?

Not to mention expanding believers, I am afraid that all the churches built in various places will be demolished.

“I don’t understand how you nobles think, and you always go around in circles,” Nightingale sighed.

“Well,” Roland replied with a smile, “except for me.”

“…” The witch narrowed her eyes and turned her head to stare at the prince for a long time. “Strange, why is this sentence true?”

Three days later, Roland finally emptied the castle and the library of the fortress, and set off on the small town with satisfaction.

As they approached Border Town along the Chishui River, the scene on both sides of the river had changed. In the open space burned by Anna opposite the town, many people were busy – judging by their attire, they should be the serfs transported to the town first.

On the side close to the Impassable Mountain Range, many simple wooden sheds had been set up, and there were faint activities in the wooden sheds. Roland guessed that those people were the families of the serfs.

These people have been tied to the land for generations, and their children are also serfs. Because they have no hope, most of them live a life of numbness. What tends to be their labor is not the desire from the heart, but the skin in the hands of the slave owners. Whip and noose.

Low production efficiency is simply a great waste of human resources.

There is no doubt that slavery is the enemy of industrial production and is an institution that must be abolished.

But Roland didn’t intend to turn them all into freemen with a wave of his hand, but to provide a channel for them to see the hope of being promoted to freemen – because there is a precedent for the master to show kindness and let the slaves get out of slavery As a rule, even if this kind of compromise is spread, it will not have much impact. At most, it will make other nobles feel that they are just a good person.

When the time is right in the future, if he fully implements the abolition of slavery, the resistance will be much smaller.

The pier was crowded with sailboats. Obviously, this small pier could no longer bear such a heavy transportation pressure.

Fortunately, the small town has a relatively shallow draft and can dock directly without a pier.

It seems that the expansion of the pier also needs to be on the schedule, Roland thought.

After the group returned to the castle, he didn’t have time to rest, UU reading www.sonicmtl.

com After returning to the office, he immediately called Barov and asked him to report on the situation of receiving supplies.

The minister’s assistant was also prepared, took out a roll of parchment from his pocket, and spread it out on the large wooden table.

“Your Highness, the things you brought back to the castle these days are really frightening me.” Having said that, the wrinkles on his face betrayed his mood, “Twelve apprentices tossed all night to get each According to the statistics of traditional coins, there are more than 14,000 golden dragons in total! Your Highness, this is equivalent to the annual income of an ordinary town!”

It may have taken the Duke more than twenty years to accumulate these golden dragons, Roland thought, because they looted, plundered and exploited the people of the western border.

I have to turn them into food, steel and machines as soon as possible.

“Where are those gems, jewelry, and handicrafts?”

“I haven’t had time to convert them, but it is conservatively estimated that they are around 10,000 gold dragons. If they are sent to the capital for auction, the price will be higher. Now they are all stored in the basement of your castle.” “” Barov paused, “But in this way, the room originally used to store food will not be enough. I suggest you expand the castle area and build a warehouse to store other materials.” (To be continued.)
