Chapter 131 Dark Cult Druid

Inside the fence, a fat old sow was lying on the ground, and a strong wild boar was constantly moving. There were wild boars waiting next to it. From time to time, they would dig at the ground and spit out white air. They looked quite impatient.

The three old sows were surrounded by a dozen wild boars. They were lining up, waiting for the last one to finish.

The sound of humming kept going on, and the old sow didn't even move, as if she was letting them do what they did.

Lin En looked at this scene and really didn't know what to say.

Is there no reproductive isolation between sows and wild boars?

He thought about it, and thought that there seemed to be breeders who crossed sows and wild boars in the past, and actually gave birth to a hybrid pig.

Karis said with an unbelievable tone: "How can these two kinds of pigs get together? This...this..."

He didn't know how to evaluate it either.

"They are all pigs, why can't they be together? These wild boars must be the wild boar group discovered before, right?" Linn asked.

"It should be, it's not far from here, but why did they suddenly come here, and... uh..." Karis paused.

Because he saw a wild boar shouting excitedly, and then left, and then the wild boar behind him came up again.

Linn was reminded by Karis and felt a little strange. These wild boars would not suddenly change their living place. They must have encountered something.

And, are these wild boars so hungry?

He thought something was strange, so he went to the location where the wild boar had been.

There is a quagmire here, and there are traces of mud splashing around it. It is relatively fresh, which means that it happened last night at most.

Looking at the mud traces, Linn speculated that the wild boar should have encountered something, became particularly frightened, and then fled.

He looked forward, walked forward, and saw a withered plant, all their vitality had been extracted, and there was no life energy.

Lin En didn't get close, he just fiddled with it with his long sword, and the plant instantly turned into ashes.

Karis saw it and asked, "What's going on?"

"It's okay, let's go back."

Lin En's face was a little solemn. He had just learned about the Dark Cult's operations in the Sunset Forest from Jeffrey, but he didn't expect to see it now.

If he guessed correctly, this blighted area was caused by dark cultists, and the wild boars were afraid to run away after seeing each other.

But why didn't the other party enter Ashes Town? It's not too far from the town.

In addition, he thought that the other party should be injured and in a state of escape, so the person chasing him was not a clergy member of the church.

Linn couldn't guarantee whether his guess was correct, but he knew one thing, his territory was in danger.

Returning to the livestock area, Linn told Karis, "Build this area, corral the wild boars, and see if you can get the old sows pregnant. If you can, buy more old sows."

Karis nodded, and then asked softly: "Master, is there something wrong?"

Lin En glanced at him and knew that he saw her expression, and said: "It has something to do with the Dark Cult, but don't tell anyone. I'll go find Matthew."

Karis's heart tightened, as expected, "Should we let the militia team check the situation in the town at night?"

"No need, they sleep and rest normally. No one else needs to tell this except us and Matthew."

Dark cultists are equivalent to a death threat to ordinary people. Once they know about it, they will leave. Although the serfs will not escape, their enthusiasm for working will definitely be greatly reduced.

Now we have just found some traces, but they are not sure yet, so naturally we can't let them know.

Linn came to the training place of the militia team and saw Matthew, with a look of surprise on his face.

He called Matthew over, "Did you break through?"

"That's right!" Matthew replied, "Since wearing glasses, I have found that the life seeds have gradually begun to recover, and the speed is quite fast. Now I have reached the top of a junior knight, and I estimate that I can become an intermediate knight in a few days."

This was good news for Lynn, who informed him in detail about the blight trail.

"Do you know which dark cultist this magic belongs to?"

"I'd have to see it myself to know for sure," Matthew said.

They returned to the area where the withered plants were. After taking a few glances, Matthew looked up and looked ahead. He picked up speed and ran towards the depths of the Sunset Forest. He passed through trees and finally stopped.

This is a battlefield, with a lot of withered bushes, fallen trees, and magical elements still lingering in the air.

Lin En sensed it carefully and said, "Holy Light!"

"Yes, it is the power of the Holy Light." Matthew looked around, "It seems that the clergy of the Holy See were tracking the dark cultists here, but they did not catch them. The dark cultists escaped with the help of the forest environment. Just now I was just suspicious. , now it has been determined that this dark cultist should be a druid."

"Druids?" Linn was surprised. "Don't druids admire natural life? How could they become dark cultists?"

Matthew explained as he walked back, "Dark Cultists is actually a general term. At the beginning, all churches that opposed the Holy Light were called Dark Cultists. Later, those who surrendered and abandoned their own doctrines and beliefs The creatures are also classified as dark cultists.

In the past few years, I have been living in different places, and I have found that the strength of the church is constantly increasing. In the past, it only verbally threatened those royal kingdoms, but now it feels like it needs to be suppressed forcefully. I feel that sooner or later, there will be a war between the Holy See and the kingdom. "

Lin En was not surprised by his feeling. There is no way for royal power and divine power to coexist in a balanced way. Either one suppresses the other or becomes a servant of the other. It would have been fine before. There is the threat of orcs in the north, which can unite them. stand up.

However, in recent decades, the orcs have been affected by the undead and are unable to continue attacking the human race, which has led to many internal fights among the human race during this period.

Thinking of this, Linn laughed and said with sarcasm: "Without the influence of external forces, the nature of human beings is to fight among themselves."

Matthew agreed with this statement, "However, the Kingdom of Kaisi has always been strong, and the church's power is not strong here."

"Well, let's talk about the dark cultists. The other party is hiding from the clergy in the Sunset Forest. I think they won't leave in a short time. They may even attack the town for food. We need to pay more attention these days. I will follow You guard together."

Matthew said: "As long as I get through this difficulty, when I regain the strength of a senior knight, I don't need to worry anymore. But, sir, have you ever thought about hiring knights and mages?"

"I thought about it, but the price was too expensive and they didn't want to come here," said Lynn.

Matthew shook his head, "You are thinking about the orthodox knights and mages. They all have favorable conditions and will naturally not leave. But have you ever thought about the civilian knights and wild mages who are not taken seriously?"

"Huh?" Linn was confused, he really hadn't thought about it.

"What you want is to hire high-level knights and mages. Nobles and lords will think so. It's not surprising, because they can come up with enough gold coins. I think you can also come up with so much money, but the reason why you didn't go If we do, we still want to focus on building the territory.”

Linn nodded, Matthew said it was indeed true, and he also realized where he was wrong.

Matthew continued: "The civilian knights have no identity and their own talents are not strong. The noble knights have a contemptuous attitude towards them. To be honest, I used to be like this too, but I have been willing to degenerate over the years, so I have recognized it. Issues.

As long as you spend a few gold coins, you can hire many civilian knights. Except for those who stay in big towns and hold the idea of ​​being valued by the nobles, others are willing to come here. As for the wild mages, they have no teachers to teach them. They are completely on their own and lack all kinds of magic materials. If you can provide them, they will naturally come here.

Judging from life in Ember Town, I don’t think they will leave. "

Matthew has stayed in many towns, and he has seen the lives of the people at the bottom. Except for some people who still have illusions, most knights just want a better life for themselves and their families, and do not expect too much.

As for those wild mages, they are the lowest level existences in the wizard circle, and are only a little better than some magicians.

Matthew's words made Linn understand. In fact, his thinking had been in an awkward state.

According to his idea, ordinary people were trained, then mined ores, found raw materials that could be used to make gunpowder, made guns, and let them hold guns to attack the enemy.

Training is in progress, but the materials have not been found.

It seems that the territory is developing very quickly, but in some aspects, there is not much progress.

Just like Matthew said, his thinking was influenced by the nobles and ignored the civilian knights and wild mages.

Lin En has always felt that he possesses advanced knowledge and can control everything, but in fact, he is also a human being, not a god, and cannot be omniscient and omnipotent. Some details are still ignored.

It seems that targeted changes must be made in the future.

"There will be meetings every seven days from now on to discuss what happened during this period and to check for things that were missed," Lynn said.

"Huh?" Matthew was stunned.

"It's okay. You'll know when the time comes. You're right to remind me. I'll let Karis hire him."

When the two returned to the town, they saw Far running from the castle, panting and saying: "Sir, I finally found you."

"What's wrong?"

"We have made the new spinning machine you asked us to study, but it is a little different from what you said. You still need to go and see it."

"Oh, so fast!" Linn was pleasantly surprised.
