-113- The Count is unharmed

It's been a while since I've been in Castel.

If you count the months of slumber, it has been half a year since Charlotte returned to the territory.

In half a year, the number of her followers also grew, from about 200 at the beginning to about 700.

To be honest, this growth rate is very slow.

Charlotte didn't figure out what the purpose of faith and believers was, so she didn't make spreading faith and developing believers her main plan at the moment, and because of that, she didn't spread her faith in a big way.

As for the hundreds of believers who have grown up, the bloodwolf tribe that migrated from Boulder to Castel has secretly developed on their own under the leadership of Werewolf Luff.

Of course, although it is secretly developed, Charlotte will also use the power of the Blood Sacred Book to do something that a "god" should do from time to time.

In addition to the months when she was asleep, she would take time out every week to focus on her followers, sometimes listening to the prayers of the believers, performing "miracles" and bestowing divine graces......

This is a world with transcendence, and the gods are real.

Without the slightest miracle or benefit, it is difficult to be convincing in proselytizing.

However, because the main force of the development of believers are all subhumans who migrated from the blood wolf tribe of Boulder, most of Charlotte's newly developed believers in the past six months are still mainly werewolf miners from the Castel silver mine.

Luckily, as one of the cash cows of the Crescent royal family, the Castel Silver Mine is protected by the Kingdom's army.

After the rebels launched a rebellion to the south, they did not dare to set foot in the Castel silver mines, but only dared to cut off the North Harbor from the silver mines.

And this has made the silver mining area centered on the silver mining city a "paradise" in a sense.

The hundreds of Charlotte's followers were fortunate not to be caught up in the war.

Now that Northport is cut off from the mines, Charlotte wants to send someone to the Kingdom garrison camp in the Castell Silver Mine to find out the news, and there is no one better suited than her fellow believers in the Mithril Mines.

Thinking of this, Charlotte cast her consciousness on the hundreds of light clusters representing believers, and followed the memory of the breath to find the one that represented the werewolf Luf.

With a flick, she extended her consciousness......

……

Castel leads to the northeast, and the city of silver is mined.

As the famous Mithril mining area of Siyunnet, the Silver Mining City at this moment is much noisier than usual.

In the city, ragged and scrawny beggars can be seen almost everywhere in the streets and alleys, and outside the city walls, simple tents of all sizes have been set up along the city.

These are refugees who fled from all over the North as the fighting spreads.

The disruption of order by war is devastating.

The armies and mercenaries led by the nobles did not have the so-called military discipline, and everywhere they went was a complete mess.

Even if Castel was only a partial rebellion, the fighting still caused a wave of refugees wherever it spread.

As a Castel Mithril mining area protected by the kingdom's army, it has naturally become the best place for refugees to flee in the Castel war zone.

In the month leading up to the war, refugees from all over the city filled almost the entire city.

Refugees also bring pressure on law and order, and in order to maintain order, the city hall of Silver Mining City eventually had to turn to the nearby Kingdom Army for help and send troops to maintain order.

In this way, it can be regarded as not causing greater chaos in the silver mining city.

Outside the Silver Mining City, on the side of the Castel Mining District.

Outside a rugged tent, scrawny refugees lined up in a long line, eager to look at the desk at the front of the line.

On the desk, a hill of black bread was piled up, and next to the black bread was a huge clay jar filled with gruel.

Behind the desk, several tall werewolves and humans in the uniforms of the Castel mining workshop stewards were busy distributing food to the refugees in line.

In the distance, the rough voices of the werewolves maintaining order on both sides of the refugee team could be heard:

"Don't rush! Don't mess around! There's something for everyone! ”

"A person can only receive a bowl of gruel or a piece of black bread, and he cannot receive more than one or steal!"

With the already scary-looking werewolf miners and the heavily armed Castel guards, although there are many refugees in line, the order of the scene is not chaotic at all.

Watching the refugees receive food one by one, weeping gratefully to the mining workshop where the food was distributed, and shouting praises to the benevolent lord of Castel, Hank de Lien-Castel, the acting general manager of the mining workshop, said with emotion to the tall werewolf miner beside him:

"Your Excellency Lufu, I really want to thank you for your help, now almost all the guards in the mine have been transferred to the city, if it weren't for you, I'm afraid it would have been chaos a long time ago."

Werewolf Luffy smiled innocently and said:

"Mr. Hank, this is as it should be, every refugee is a citizen of Castel, and as a follower of Lord Earl, it is right to participate in relief."

"This is what Lord Earl has always requested, and when I was still in Boulder, I had already followed Lord Count to participate in many slum reliefs."

Steward Hank also nodded slightly and sighed:

"Yes, Lord Earl is merciful, when she left the mining workshop, she repeatedly hinted that I should take care of the lives of the poor and miners here in Silver City."

"Although because of its proximity to the Grand Duchy of the North and East Yunet, there are often refugees gathering in Silver City, but there are so many ...... It's the first time I've seen you, and I really hope the rebellion ends soon......"

Luff nodded, and said with a firm expression:

"It will definitely end, and all those who betray Lord Earl will eventually pay their due price!"

Steward Hank sighed:

"Alas, I hope the Earl is safe and sound, the rumors have been boiling in the north recently, and the people in the city are unstable, and I don't know what is going on outside."

Luffy comforted:

"Lord Count is naturally safe and sound, we just need to do what we can, just take care of the Castel silver mine for Lord Earl, there is a garrison of the kingdom, and those rebellions dare not mess around."

Looking at the confident appearance of the werewolf miner, Steward Hank's heart moved slightly, and he was very curious:

"Lord Louv, it sounds ...... You seem to know the news of Lord Earl? ”

Luffy shook his head and said meaningfully:

"There's no news, but ...... The Earl is not very human, but a holy man who walks on the earth, and is certainly safe and sound. ”

After listening to Luffy's words, Steward Hank nodded secretly after thinking for a while:

"You're right, Lord Count is a living saint, even if it is a rebel of the Legris family, I'm afraid he won't dare to anger the gods!"

Luffy smiled slightly.

He did not explain that what he meant was sacred was not the same thing as what he understood to be sacred.

Although the other party is the acting steward personally appointed by His Majesty the True Ancestor, it is not yet the time for the other party to know everything.

This kind of ambiguous misunderstanding is also misunderstood.

It's just that, despite his faith in the Great True Ancestor, even he, the de facto tribal priest, hasn't received a new oracle for three or four months.

Even though the True Ancestor had foretold it months ago, as time passed, Luff's heart still felt a little uneasy.

"Your Majesty the True Ancestor...... Castel is in turmoil, and I'm still following your oracle and spreading your faith in the mines, but ...... When will you wake up? ”

Luffy sighed inwardly.

However, at this time, an extremely familiar feeling suddenly descended on his heart.
