"Thank you so much, my little Eluby, this news you brought is very important, and I will tell Salian sooner and plot with him how to use the 'Certificate of Atonement'. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ”

"Hehe, and because the Gospel of Salvation is now focused on selling the 'proof of atonement,' the hunt for us has been significantly relaxed, and this is a great opportunity to grow the organization. ”

"Oh, yes, little Eluby, at least in some ways, the 'certificate of atonement' is still a good thing!"

"That's true. Oh, by the way, there's one thing I almost forgot, I taught you the 'Sound Magic', right?!You're a powerful control horror knight known as the 'Soul Reager', and you're sure to learn it in no time!" Elubi said to Sebastian with sudden excitement.

"Ahh

"Hehe, the power of your control type horror knight is very special, and it is not inferior to our witch in soul comprehension, I have been studying with Teresa for a long time, and I will finally master the method of using 'sound transmission magic' through spiritual power, as long as the spiritual power is strong enough, you can use it, you can try it quickly!"

"Oh, Teresa, one of Salian's lovers, she is said to be the ultimate genius among the dark magicians. ”

"Whew! That's her. Sebastian, you can't be like that playboy from Salian! ”

The Imperial Count von Ridlingen realized that he had just said the wrong thing, and immediately hugged the fairy girl tightly and said to her.

"My dearest little Eluby, please teach me quickly!"

"Hey, hey, hate, you scoundrel. ”

Sebastian certainly wouldn't tell Eluby what he wanted, not only did he not lose to the Duke of New Mark in politics, but he also didn't want to lose to the Duke of New Mark.

After a brief lull, Sebastian left, and he still had too much to do this summer. And Elubi has to continue to run for the cause of witches. At the time of their parting, Elulby gave him something else, a gift to Salian, something that Duke New Mark had not expected at all, but had never forgotten.

In this way, the team set out again and stepped into the territory of the Duchy of Vürroburg in the east of Schwartenn, a beautiful region surrounded by rivers and forests, still ruled by the incompetent Ulrich and now even more oppressed by the Church. Ulrich's uncle, Bishop Jurgen, was one of the main promoters of the "certificate of indulgence".

As soon as he entered the area, Sebastian found that many fertile lands were uncultivated, and the villages and towns were depressed, and there were few people to be found.

"Marko, you see that this is no longer a country of gardens, the people are so scattered that they have little chance of surviving except to leave. ”

"Well, we can't help it. ”

Just as the two of them sighed, Miss Ruth, who was beside her, spoke.

"Sebastian, I feel a lot of people gathering in front of me near the bank of the river. "Ruth, as a power-type horror knight, has the strongest sensory ability among them, and suddenly has some unusual senses.

As an added note, Marco is also a control horror knight, and his family is known for their ability to control flying items, so they often use bows and arrows to fight. Just as Salian excels at physically deflecting the power of his opponents, Sebastian excels at playing with souls.

"Marco, you stay here with the men, and I'll go over and see what happens. ”

"Okay, be careful yourself. "Viscount von Gertz is now fully Sebastian's lieutenant.

Sebastian sneaked up on a secluded lawn near the upper reaches of the Lynn River to find a large number of peasants sitting side by side, listening to a man in a blue wide-brimmed hat, a bright yellow and blue cut-out suit, and white leggings playing the flute. In contrast to him, the surrounding peasants were in rags, and it could be seen that they were all from poor families.

Then, when the piper had finished the song, he put down the flute, and he stood on a stone and began to speak to the peasants below.

"My fellow citizens, pious poor people, I am Joss the Piper, and I have traveled far and wide to many parts of the Empire, but nowhere have the peasants been as poor and miserable as you, and the incompetent lord and his money-hungry and lustful bishop uncle have made you suffer so much!

Sebastian understood that this was a dangerous agitator who wanted the people of the Duchy of Froburg to revolt. Although they were in opposing classes, Sebastian, as a representative of the small lord class, actually sympathized with these peasants in his heart.

Instigated by this man's brilliant eloquence, the peasants were so excited that they were eager to tear the Duke of Ulrich apart now. When he saw that his purpose was almost complete, he continued.

"Rest easy, everyone, it is not yet time, I have many comrades who are gathering their companions in various places, and you should also go home and mobilize more people, of course, those who are the most reliable partners, and must not be known to the priests and priests!

Soon after, after the men had dispersed, Sebastian intercepted the agitator who was walking alone on the mountain trail.

"Where to go, you rebel!"

The man suddenly saw a knight in armor appear in front of him, and immediately understood that his identity was exposed, he had obviously experienced many winds and waves, and he did not have a trace of fear, but drew the short sword at his waist and rushed towards the knight in front of him.

"Lackeys of the Empire, die!"

"Hehe, it's not a small amount of guts, but it's really your misfortune to fall into my hands!"

However, the difference in strength between the two sides is too great, although this person is considered good among ordinary people, but in Sebastian's eyes, it is not worth mentioning at all. Soon he broke his left hand and fell to his knees.

Due to some ulterior motives, Sebastian did not directly read the opponent's memories with a terrifying secret technique that destroyed brain function, and he needed to spare this person's life, which was still useful.

"If you don't want to die, tell me everything you know!"

"Don't think!" Despite the fact that his left hand was broken, the man was very stubborn and endured the severe pain, and did not want to tell Sebastian anything.

"Hehe, you are very bold, I appreciate it, but unfortunately waking up and extorting confessions is what our control horror knights are best at. And to put it mildly, my family is also the most fearsome torturer in the entire Divine Grace Empire. I've got a lot of ways to get you to speak. ”

He adjusted his tone and continued.

"However, I have heard your speech just now, it is very good, and I do not like what the Duke of Ulrich has done, and I sympathize with the poor peasants here, maybe we are on the same page!"

"Who the hell are you?" asked the flute, a little confused.

"My name is Sebastian von Riddlelingen, and I am the Imperial Count of South Central and not the Lord of Schwartenn. ”

"Hmph, I heard of this surname when I was a mercenary, did your father ever be the captain of the Third Mobile Brigade. ”

"Yes, my father participated in several battles as a cavalryman under the emperor. Sebastian replied proudly.

"That's right, I served under your father. Hehe, I have seen him torture prisoners of war with my own eyes, and I know your family's methods. ”

He quietly looked up and forgot to glance at Sebastian before continuing.

"Well, I'll trust you for now. But don't betray me, for if you deceive me, I'll curse you to hell at the cost of my own life. ”

"Reasonable, so please tell me why you're here!"

"My name is Joss Kimmich. People call me 'Joss the Piper'. More than 10 years ago, when the large-scale war was over, I put down my sword and left the army. With the money I had saved from years of bloodshed, I bought a small plot of land in the western countryside, married a girl from a local miller's family, and had two children," he said melancholy, "but the lord of the church, the abbot of Hakmaar, took a fancy to my wife during a sermon. ”

Hearing this, Sebastian already understood that this was another tragedy caused by a rotten church. Sure enough, after some moving telling, the answer appeared.

"When I saw the bodies of my wife and two children dumped on the side of the road, I vowed to kill all the priests. Eventually, I escaped from the abbot's domain and waited incognito for my chance. Eventually, on the way to the escape, I met many people who had a similar experience to me, and we formed the 'Shoe Society', an organization of peasant revolts against the lords, representing us with a peasant shoe, and now there are our comrades everywhere to stir up discontent in areas where the peasants live in hardship!"

"Hehe, for those poor people who are illiterate, this level of rhetoric is indeed enough. ”

"Well, this Duke of Ulrich is one of the most unpopular rulers in the empire today, and his insatiable uncle!" said Joss hatefully.

"I totally understand, you go. I will do what I say and I will not tell you. Oh, by the way, and this bag of money, you can take it too, how to use it You should understand, it's time for the lord here to change it!" he took out a bag of gold coins from his bosom and threw it to the Piper.

Sebastian not only let Joss go, but also gave money, in a sense conniving at the peasant uprising in the Froburg area. And none of his companions knew about it.

After riding back to his group, he simply said: "Some peasants gathered by the river to listen to a passing artist play the flute, I was afraid that they had some conspiracy, so I eavesdropped on the side for a while, and now that the gang has dispersed, no problem, let's go." ”

The group then made their way west along the valley of the upper Rin, and when they reached Sindelbronn, the capital of Ulrich, they also paid a visit to the Duke. The Duke entertained the procession warmly, and everyone was given a sumptuous dinner, and even every horse was given fine oats and wine.

After leaving with a full meal, Sebastian couldn't help but think. The source of Duke Ulrich's hospitality was that he didn't care about money, and the money he was able to spend without restraint came from the oppression of his own people, and it was better for this kind of lord who only knew how to ask for it to die sooner.
