Chapter 55: The Original Intention of Colonizing Port Sevit
Maybe Agrice didn't think so much, what chaos what church what king and so on, in his opinion from the "higher civilization", it was just a trick of those ignorant primitives to deceive themselves. Convinced that he could never go back, he just wanted to make the second half of his life more comfortable, without more extravagant hopes.
As for why the species on this planet are so genetically similar to those on the home planet of the Kata Alliance, he is not too interested in digging into the deeper reason. It was the witchcraft on this planet that intrigued him, and at first he thought it was just some trick to deceive people, but later he realized that it was all true. However, after discovering that he had no talent for witchcraft, he gave up the idea of studying these strange techniques.
Getting back to the point, Agris, dressed in fancy dress and with a foreign face, quickly attracted the attention of His Majesty's courtiers. Although he was initially allowed to appear as a court jester, he soon showed his superiority and was appreciated by a baron.
That baron was Baron Fred.
Don't look at the fact that he only has the title of baron, in the Rick Kingdom, there is another layer of wizard apprenticeship, but even His Majesty the King has to give three points of courtesy. Not only that, but with the backing of the Vicky family, his wealth is far beyond the reach of ordinary barons.
It was with the support of this Baron Fred that Captain Agrice completed his sailing plan and discovered the Isle of Crocodile, a hundred nautical miles from the continent of Aditya...... Well, in fact, before the escape pod landed, he had already seen this half-sized island.
As the main funder of Captain Agris's sailing program, the discovery of Crocodile Island paid off handsomely for Baron Fred. However, it was not the rewards that really mattered to Baron Fred, but the island far from the control of the Church.
Under the persuasion of Baron Fred, His Majesty finally approved the colonization plan proposed by Captain Agris. As the discoverer of Crocodile Island, Captain Agris, named the first governor of Port Sevit, sailed across the ocean with a hundred colonists to establish a new home on this strange island.
As for what happened next, you can guess with your toes.
When everything was in place in the port of Sevit, Baron Fred designed to kill Captain Agris, and blamed Captain Agris's death on the half-elves who had been holding back the colonists' progress into the forest.
A tragic war broke out between the two sides, and the outcome of the war was unknown, and the final result was that the colonists and the half-elves in the jungle completely drew a line of separation, and they did not communicate with each other until today, more than a hundred years later, and there has been no change in the slightest.
From the very beginning, Baron Fred's original intention of establishing Port Sevit was to offer sacrifices to Solol, to sacrifice the blood of the living, and to exchange power from Solol's hands. Outwardly he was a wise governor, but that was a disguise of his true identity, and deep down, he never really cared about the boom or bust of Port Sevet.
Although there was no way to deal with the Chaos enemy, the half-elves, the war at least prevented communication between the half-elves and the colonists. It can be said that Baron Fred's plan was basically a complete success, and even Captain Agris, who came from the "High Civilization", was planted in his hands.
Over the past 100 years, Baron Fred has continued to grow old and regain his youth with the help of Tinia. As for the rest of the manor, they were nothing more than Tinia's toys, and when they got tired of it, they sacrificed to the great god of blood and destruction, Solore, either to make a gargoyles to suck her blood in her place, or to arrange a plausible cause of death for the dead.
Even occasionally, Tinia would even make a body out of marble for herself, and then possess it on it, playing the role of Baron Fred's child, experiencing a life she had never experienced before, and passing the time of boredom.
No one noticed the anomaly at all, and it was not uncommon for a father to pass on his name to his son, which was not uncommon in the Rick Kingdom and even in the entire Aditya continent. The colonists in Port Servit would never have imagined that Baron Fred, who had ruled them for more than a hundred years, was the same person.
The whole plan was seamless, and only on the day of the prophesied blood moon, the passage between Chaos and this world was opened again, and the cursed realm arranged by Tinya sacrificed the colonists of the entire port of Sevet, and the great Solol would descend on this world, and Baron Fred would get his wish and receive the reward that was rightfully his.
It's just that he couldn't have imagined it, and he couldn't have known that this marginal planet was unexpectedly lively.
A hundred years later, another escape pod visited here, and it was none other than Jiang Feng from another plane who came out of the escape pod.
It was this only variable that made his plan for the 100-year plan fall short......
"It's no wonder that the port of Sevit is not small, but the huge church has only one priest." Closing the book, Jiang Feng sighed softly.
He felt that he had finished reading an epic poem that spanned a hundred years in one afternoon.
"Lord Wizard, dinner time is almost coming, ...... you look" Seeing Jiang Feng's movement of turning the book stop, Kuian cautiously reminded on the side.
Although it was ostensibly reminding Jiang Feng that it was time for dinner, the real implication was that it was getting dark.
Jiang Feng nodded, and was about to get up, when his eyes fell on the wooden door at the end of the collection room, and he asked.
"Where does this door lead?"
Quian was stunned for a moment, and quickly replied.
"It should be the baron's cellar."
"Wine cellar ...... Is it? ”
From behind that door, Jiang Feng felt a trace of evil aura.
This trace of evil aura is faint, and it is similar to Solore's soul fragment in the frequency of mental fluctuations. Curious to see what was behind the door, his instincts told him that if he did it unprepared, it could be dangerous.
Looking at the sky outside the window, Jiang Feng then looked at Kuian.
"That's all for today, it's time to go back."
"Okay!"
Hearing Jiang Feng say this, the young man breathed a sigh of relief.
Behind that door is the source of the curse. As an ordinary person, just standing here has endured a lot of mental pressure. What's more, such a tragic tragedy happened here not long ago.
After leaving the Baron's Manor, the gloomy atmosphere was swept away, and even the air was much fresher.
When he stepped through the main gate of the manor again, Jiang Feng looked back at the blackened main building that had been burned.
Although the aura of negative spiritual energy was already quite weakened, a faint black aura could still be seen swirling under the shadows.
"It seems that the night does have a bonus effect on negative spiritual power, and when I came here at noon, I obviously didn't have such a huge spiritual force field. Tinia must have been hiding behind that door, just unable to get out of there for some reason. ”
Silently writing these down in his heart, Jiang Feng threw two silver coins to Kuian and said in his flattered gaze.
"Don't be surprised, you deserve it."
"However, the Governor's Palace has paid me a silver coin." Kuian stared at the two silver coins in his hand with wide eyes and looked at Jiang Feng in embarrassment.
"Take it, it's a reward for your bravery."
Nodding at the boy whose face turned red from being praised, Jiang Feng turned around and walked in the direction of the Governor's Palace.
