Release that Witch

124. Chapter 124 returns to small town

聽聽聽聽“This is probably the day I have seen you lie the most,” Nightingale said from the fog after Taylor left.

聽聽聽聽“Whoever is coming is Church’s High Priest,” Roland said, “How can you tell the other person’s lie?”

聽聽聽聽“No, the scene around him was absorbed by the God Punishment Stone. I can only see a darkness.”

聽聽聽聽Unfortunately, High Priest can’t be treated like noble, Roland regrets. He put the two balls on the table. “You said, is this thing really amazing as they say?”

聽聽聽聽To alleviate the pain, morphine can be done. As for the soldiers to become more powerful, it sounds like the effect of adrenal hormones. The problem is to extract these two substances into pills. Church has long been conquering the world with this level of technology.

聽聽聽聽waitRoland suddenly thought of a possibility, would it be related to magic power?

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

聽聽聽聽Nightingale took a closer look. “I can’t see magic power, but it’s a bit like God Punishment Stone.”

聽聽聽聽鈥淕od Punishment Stone?鈥漅oland stunned.

聽聽聽聽“Well,” she nodded. “You have also seen the world under the fog. There are only black and white, but the black is different from the darkness formed by the God Punishment Stone. The latter is more like a hollow, bringing the world around. Swallow it. I don’t know how to describe that feeling…”Nightingale hesitated. “It’s better to say that there is nothing in it, even if it is dark in the hole.”

聽聽聽聽“nothingness?”

聽聽聽聽“Yes, it is nothingness,” she nodded. “These two balls also have vain traces, but they are extremely subtle, and…It is also a non-circular hollow, which is like a black filament with a throttle. 鈥?/p>

聽聽聽聽鈥淒o these vain influences your ability?鈥?/p>

聽聽聽聽Nightingale grabbed the meatballs, unfolded the fog, and quickly retreated. “It seems to have no effect.”

聽聽聽聽“It seems necessary to find a prisoner of death to try the two pills to try out the effect,” Roland carefully wrapped the meatballs in paper and broke into his arms.

聽聽聽聽“I didn’t expect Church to be so optimistic about you,” Nightingale sat back to the prince, a little depressed.

聽聽聽聽“If High Priest doesn’t wear God Punishment Stone, I bet ten sentences and nine sentences are lies.”Roland grinned. “The most important thing is that what they do and what they ask for is not right.”

聽聽聽聽鈥淲hy?鈥?/p>

聽聽聽聽“Look at what they want: more churches, more believers, a prince or King who is supported by themselves, and from then on. A stable country is more conducive to their development of believers and development. Otherwise, churches and monasteries will become targets of looting for refugees and nobles. 鈥?/p>

聽聽聽聽“But they are not exactly fancy, can you bring a stable life to the people?”

聽聽聽聽鈥淣ot so,鈥?Roland shook his head. 鈥淪tability comes from unity or balance. Even if the king eats, drinks, and plays every day, the people of the united kingdom are better than the refugees in the war. So they support Second Prince. It’s not surprising that it’s not surprising to support Third Princess. It’s weird to run to support me鈥攅specially when Garcia wins. 鈥?/p>

聽聽聽聽At this time, if Church fully supports Garcia, I am afraid that Kingdom Capital and the Eastern Line will be swallowed by her for less than half a year. Seventy percent of the Kingdom of Greycastle will be owned by Queen of Clear Water, and Roland thinks the pressure on him will increase. Instead of helping the strong, instead of choosing the one that seems to be the weakest at the moment, it seems that Church鈥檚 decision is in his own favor. If you accept their support, the situation of the two kings of Greycastle will become more chaotic. The direct consequence of the three countries in the same version is that the population will drop sharply, the wealth will be quickly lost, the war will spread to the whole country, and the unified date will be delayed. drag.

聽聽聽聽What good is this for Church? Not to mention the expansion of believers, I am afraid that churches built in various places will be dismantled.

聽聽聽聽“I don’t understand your noble thoughts, I always bend around,” Nightingale sighed.

聽聽聽聽鈥淲ell,鈥?Roland said with a smile. 鈥淏esides me.鈥?/p>

聽聽聽聽“…”witch squinted and slammed the prince for a long time. “Strange, why is this sentence true?”

聽聽聽聽Three days later, Roland finally emptied the castle and the stronghold library and sat on the way to HMS Little Town.

聽聽聽聽As the Scarlet Water River approaches the Border Town, the scenes on both sides of the river have changed. On the empty ground burned by Anna across the town, many people are busy 鈥?look at the dress, they should be the serfs first shipped to the small town. On the side of the Impassable Mountain Range, there are many simple wooden sheds, and there are hidden activities in the wooden shed. Roland guesses that those people are the families of the serfs.

聽聽聽聽These people have been tied to the land for generations, and the children born are also serfs. Because they do not see hope, most people live a numb life. The trend is that they are not eager from the heart, but the skin in the hands of the slave owners. Whip and rope sets. Low production efficiency is a great waste of human natural resources.

聽聽聽聽There is no doubt that slavery is the enemy of industrial production and a system that must be abolished. But Roland does not intend to let them all become free people, but to provide a channel for them to see the hope of being promoted to free people–because there is a precedent for the master’s good intentions to get slaves out of slavery, a compromise that will not have much effect if it spreads out. , so that the other noble think they are just a bad guy.

聽聽聽聽When the time is ripe in the future, he will fully implement the abolition law, and the resistance will be much smaller.

聽聽聽聽The dock nearby is full of sailboats, and it is clear that this little dock can no longer afford such heavy traffic pressure. Fortunately, HMS Little Town has a shallow draught and can be docked directly without a dock. It seems that the expansion of the dock also needs to be on the schedule, Roland thought.

聽聽聽聽After the group returned to the castle, he couldn’t take a break. When he returned to the office, he immediately called Barov and asked him to report on the situation of the materials.

聽聽聽聽The Assistant Minister was also prepared to take a roll of parchment from his pocket and spread it out on a large wooden table.

聽聽聽聽“His Highness, For several days, what you transported back to the castle is really scaring me,” said the pleats on his face, but he sold his feelings. “Twelve apprentices tossed for one night before they put it on.” Various types of coins are counted out, totaling more than 14,000 gold royal! Your Highness, this is equivalent to the income of a regular town for one year! 鈥?/p>

聽聽聽聽Duke’s accumulation of these gold royals may have been spent for more than two decades, Roland thought, from the search, plunder and exploitation of the people of the Western Region. They must turn them into food, steel and machinery as soon as possible. “What about gems, jewelry and crafts? 鈥?/p>

聽聽聽聽“I haven’t had time to convert it, but the conservative estimate is also around 10,000 gold royal. If you send it to Kingdom Capital for auction, the price will be higher. They are now stored in the basement of your castle,” Barov paused. “However, the room that was originally used to store food is not enough. I suggest you expand the castle area and cover the warehouse to store other supplies. 鈥?/p>
