Chapter 35: The Dark Pilgrims

"And until then, we need a piece of land, we need to be self-sufficient." The deacon said.

"But we don't have any land anymore." The youngest son said.

"We have! It's just that the earl has taken over! The deacon was furious when he heard this, and said, "We all know what kind of virtue Nofifi is, and the heretics who colluded with him don't have that ability at all, he is a scapegoat who has been falsely accused!" ”

"But there is no way, the church has already decided." The youngest son said.

"I know the laws of nobility, the heir has the right to trace the cause of death of the previous lord, and your mother is the sister of the Baroness of Nofififi, the daughter of the previous baron, this status is useful." The deacon said.

"Collusion with the devil, mutilating the lord, and no reason to protect the vassals are untenable, I will contact the bounty hunter to investigate!" The deacon gritted his teeth.

"And what if the bounty hunter doesn't have a clue either?" The youngest son said that to be honest, he didn't like the countryside.

"There will be." The deacon said in a deep voice, "Even if I don't, I will negotiate with the new baron and ask him to give me some land... Here you go. ”

Bounty hunters, the type of people who live on bounties, they can be anyone, priests, farmers, beggars, courtesans, heretics and even dark creatures, the former can receive the bounty without any scruples, and the latter requires a little thought, after all, they have been on the bounty list for a long time.

Compared to the town hall, the chamber of commerce's bounty tends to be more popular, and as for the church, there are occasional bounties, but they are always hung on the municipal side, and it rarely happens, such as this one.

The deacon's bounty was not originally accepted, because the Black Death spread in the Kingdom of Cold, and the Church increased hunting, which caused the wizards who could tell the bad luck to flee to the holy land in the dark, the witch forest in the Great Wasteland.

"The Church means that we should arrest the real heretics, the ones that ordinary people can't catch." A warrior in cracked leather armor said to the deacon, "So you know what I mean, right? ”

Ordinary people can't catch the real heretics, they may just be old women with cats, widows with no help, and girls who don't sleep, these people are often because of that pitiful fortune that leads to their doom, and those who are real heretics often become fish that slip through the net.

The dogma of the church is often enforced from below and becomes something else, and it has always been.

But that doesn't stop the church from punishing wizards who actually commit witchcraft because they're distracting from their beliefs.

"I know this, after all, you live in the land of God's faith, and the dogma of the church must be implemented first." The deacon nodded, and he pushed his hat, "But the Great Badlands is passing through the Barony of Nofifife, and you can get a bounty of a thousand thalers if you just look into the news, and I think it's much easier than catching a few witches who can be poisoned." ”

"The same danger, the Dark Sage who could assassinate eight Templars." The warrior tapped on his helmet and said, "The kind that has iron all over its body." ”

"I'm just asking for the exact information that the Baron has been wronged, not for you to arrest him." The deacon smiled as he tossed the warrior a bag of copper marks.

"I'll tell the other bounty hunters." The warrior said.

"I'm waiting for your good news." The deacon smiled, he looked at the dark clouds hanging over the royal capital, and couldn't help sighing, wizards and dark creatures from all over the world are gathering here, the royal family has entered a state of war readiness, even if ten thousand pigs come, it can be worrying.

Barony of Widdy, there are two propaganda teams, one is the trio of Dark Sages, who prophesy the arrival of epidemics and popularize health knowledge under the pretext of promoting oracles, while the other team is descending with the Dark Sage, and the world will be lost to the witches of chaos and darkness.

On the stage, Mul was giving a passionate speech, while the woods and savages were eating nuts and watching a few beautiful witches shuttle through the countryside.

In the countryside, even the gods do not occupy all their beliefs, and witchcraft, especially the healing and divination, is often popular with everyone.

"We're promoting hygiene, they're promoting us, savages, why do you say that?" Hammer asked, smashing the nuts with a sledgehammer.

"Mul says it's his credit, the Dark Knight personality who has subdued the witches." The savage said.

"Do you believe it?" "There is no such thing as a free lunch. ”

"Of course not." The savage snorted, "If you surrender, it will also be your prestige as a Sage. ”

Hearing this, he was stunned, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help twitching, could his prestige even be fooled by witches?

However, the publicity has been very effective in the recent phase, and people have begun to resume bathing.

The only difficult point is to drink hot water, and the firewood at this time seems to be a valuable material, and it seems that the next time I marked it, that is, the effect of drinking hot water after it is heated and cooled is the same.

At noon, the knight's team came to patrol as usual, and Muer symbolically ran a few hundred meters, and the patrolling team did not bother to chase after him, and the son of the father's butler, who was no longer a bachelor, after sweeping the woods, ordered the others to continue patrolling, and he himself rushed towards them.

"Sage, Mr. Baron asked me to take him to say hello." Hu Cong said.

"You're okay too." Tusese smiled, "Is there any news?" ”

"Don't publicize it in the territory for a while now, don't even go back to your lair, go farther." "The Church has increased hunting in the plagued areas, resulting in the loss of the living ground for those wizards, who are migrating to the Great Wasteland, and attracting a large number of witchers. ”

"I see." Hearing this, he nodded, "Thank you Baron Wadi on my behalf, and I have nothing to do with him." ”

"It's not just you, but the people of the Starfall Land will have nothing to do with the Baron." Hu Cong said.

"Baron Wadey doesn't need them?" Shocked when he heard this.

"No, but they have to be let out." "The witchers have the right to bishop, and they can search the nobles, and with their level of expertise, there is no problem in finding the hidden heretics in the Baron's castle. ”

"Heh, aren't you protesting?" Hearing this, he laughed, "That's private territory. ”

"The royal capital has now begun martial law, according to the Pope's order, there are teams going out every day to intercept the wizards who enter the country, and the king now only drinks wine from stock, for fear of being poisoned in this wave."

"But even that hasn't stopped these dark pilgrims."
