Creating a Sandbox World Chapter 65: The worst era
There was an inexplicable silence in the castle study.
The butler glanced at the master's face that was suddenly pale as paper, and then thought of something that had happened in the past two days, with some subtle changes in his expression.
"Master?"
He called out softly, and then Baron Carter regained his senses. He uttered a little hastily, stretched out a slightly trembling hand to take the document, and concealed, "I'm a little tired, you go down Right."
"Yes."
waited for the butler to walk out of the study, go downstairs and leave, only the baron was left in the dark brown house.
This slightly blessed middle-aged man suddenly seemed to be holding his breath, his entire face flushed, and he felt that the official document in his hand was hot, and there was an urge to throw it away.
But he finally managed to control it. After a few seconds of silence, he walked to the desk by the window with heavy steps, and opened the window hard.
Although it is spring, the winter chill has not yet dissipated. Especially in this early morning, the exciting cold wind blows on his face, making Baron Carter's confused thoughts finally clear.
dragging the heavy wooden chair, he slowly sat down and unfolded the official document from the church. Because of his nervousness, he did not notice the slight damage to the seal.
The official document is very short and very official.
The approximate meaning of is to ask the local lord, Baron Carter, to cooperate with the church knights to further search for heretical wizards suspected of hiding in Oaktown on the wanted order.
"Sure enough..." With trembling hands, he put down the thin, cool paper, Carter leaned back and closed his eyes in pain.
Everything was as he had guessed, and the church really came to the door.
is not unexpected. In fact, from the time when the church headquarters issued the "Heritic Judgment Order", Baron Carter had already vaguely felt this day.
When the change happened, he didn't know.
In his memory, the entire kingdom was originally considered peaceful. Until a year ago, the Royal Capital Church headquarters suddenly announced that it had received an oracle from the **** of creation.
The specific content of the oracle is not clear. The general meaning is that the devil is resurrecting in the dark, and the group of wizards all over the mainland has long secretly become the servants of the evil spirits.
In order to save mankind from being eroded by evil spirits, the church and the king signed and issued the "Heritage Judgment Order."
So, the church's Templars with extraordinary powers, with the permission of the king, began to hunt and kill wizards in the whole territory.
All this happened very suddenly, without any warning.
The shamans in the sand were caught off guard, completely unable to withstand the menacing Templars. The search began in the royal capital and soon expanded to the entire kingdom.
Because of poor information exchange, news from various places is seriously delayed.
The wizards in many places finally learned the news until the church chased them to the door. I don't know how many wizards were captured and killed throughout the year.
Incidentally, the relatives and families of the wizards have suffered all sorts of incredible injuries together.
In addition, during the raid, some nobles colluded with the church and used the name of the oracle to eradicate dissidents, which made all the people panic.
The whole kingdom is caught in a kind of "white terror".
The wizards who responded were not allowed to leave their homes, hide around, and escape the chase of the church. Gradually, this prairie fire burned from the prosperous place of the royal capital to all corners of the kingdom.
As soon as he got the news, Carter hurriedly passed a letter, suggesting that the brothers and wizards who were far away were hiding in hiding. However, shortly after the letter was sent, he heard bad news.
In the process of being chased by the church, my brother, in order to protect a pair of children who were also wizards, died together with his wife, and a pair of siblings and heirs were also missing.
After all, his news was too late.
The only fortunate thing is that not long ago, his missing nephew and niece quietly fled to Oaktown and rushed to this castle, hungry, cold and scarred.
Carter was surprised and delighted, and hurriedly settled down in the back house of the castle.
In order to avoid being seen by outsiders, he hides in a secret room all day, and Carter personally delivers food every day.
Originally, in his plan, as long as he hid patiently for a while, after the gust of wind passed, then he would find a way to send his nephew out of the Drai Kingdom to the safer southern continent.
However, what Carter did not expect was that just yesterday, the Knights Templar came to town with the wizards captured along the way and claimed to be hunting down a pair of wizards.
This kept Carter awake at night. He didn't know how much information the church had. He was even more worried. In his sleep, he was rushed into the castle by the terrifying knights to hide and hang him.
never thought that he didn't wait for the intrusion of the Knights, but in this morning, he got a letter from the church.
It seems that the other party should not be clear about the connection between the wizard he is chasing and him... This is the only thing that comforts Baron Carter a little.
However, facing the terrifying knights, this little lord could not control the fear in his heart after all.
Once the crime of hiding the wizard is discovered... Then...
Thinking of this, the Baron Carter sitting in front of the window shivered fiercely, his heart pounding, and cold sweat on his forehead could not stop flowing.
He stood up and began to walk in the house, his face uncertain.
Finally, he gritted his teeth and made a decision.
turned his head and pushed the door, heading towards the back house.
He did not dare to risk being hanged!
Of course, as an uncle, it is impossible for him to personally hand over his brother's child.
Before the church was discovered, he was going to send the two children away, hide in the nearby pale mountains, wait for the church to leave, and then pick them up.
"Just do it...it must be fast and hidden...otherwise, once it is discovered..."
murmured these words vaguely and unconsciously. The middle-aged Baron Carter went downstairs a bit panicked, walked through the garden again, and entered the back house.
The servant of the back house has been arranged by him elsewhere, and he looked around vigilantly, then Carter quickly walked through the corridor, took out a key from his arms, and came to the storage room of the back house. .
But the moment he came outside the door, his whole body was suddenly struck by lightning, and his body became stiff!
I saw that the heavy wooden door in front of me was slightly opened, and the metal lock on it had been broken, and it seemed that it was forcibly twisted by some tyrannical external force!
"Ah...morey! Karina!"
In the next second, the middle-aged lord yanked out the short blade from his waist and opened the door of the room.
Then, I only saw a pair of young siblings lying on the floor, knowing whether they were alive or dead.
In the other corner of the room, a stranger, eccentrically dressed man was sitting leisurely at the table, flipping through a book.
"You...you are from the church..." At this moment, Baron Carter trembled all over, and the world was spinning, and the knife in his hand seemed to fall to the ground.
In his opinion, only the church hunting team can break into the castle silently and control the two wizards!
Although the clothes and looks of the people in front of me are a bit strange.
"Shhh, don't yell loudly, otherwise I will not be responsible for attracting others."
Lin Tuo, who was sitting at the table, slowly closed the book in his hand, and looked at the almost sluggish middle-aged man at the door with a smile and said in the local language he had just mastered.
paused, he tapped his forehead with his finger again, thinking and curious:
"Church? You mean the armor-clad guys in that kind of church in the center of town? So unfortunately, I don't know them."
don’t... know?
At the door, Baron Carter looked dazed and stayed in place for a while.
Seeing this scene, Lin Tuo sighed helplessly, put the knight novel in his hand aside, pointed to a chair next to him, and said lightly:
"I think you can sit down first and don't be so nervous, I have no intentions."
Baron Carter looked at the young brothers and sisters lying on the ground as though they were crying.
"Oh, this is just an accident." Lin Tuo coughed awkwardly, "I originally wanted to ask them about something, but unfortunately it was a young man who overreacted and had to faint.
But now, it’s the same to ask you, um, you should cooperate with me, right? "
While was speaking warmly, Lin Tuo slowly broke the corner of the solid wooden table beside him, watching Carter's eyelids jump.
"Dangling." After two seconds of silence, Baron Carter dropped his weapon and smiled bitterly, "What do you want to ask?"
Then, he got a weird answer:
"Everything."
……
……
Half an hour later, Lin Tuo finally got the information he wanted and established a preliminary understanding of this era.
Similarly, I finally found out that the unconscious young brother and sister on the ground are the so-called wizard.
恩... He just saw the two more obvious "Ethereum Lines~IndoMTL.com~" that floated above the castle, so he came here.
Unfortunately, the opponent's reaction was fierce. The moment he saw him, he launched an attack. Lin Tuo had no choice but to stun him.
asked a little lord, and the process went smoothly and much more enjoyable.
According to the little lord named Carter, this era is indeed similar to the Middle Ages, with nobles, commoners, and slaves. Of course, there are also extraordinary people.
Wizards, knights, and priests of the church all have power far beyond ordinary people, but there are differences.
The most significant difference between is that the power of knights and priests mostly comes from cultivation, absorb "magic power" from the natural world, and then achieve extraordinary effects by learning specific "combat skills" and "divine arts".
As for wizards, they also practice, but the difference is that these people are often born with some unique and strange abilities.
By learning the "practice method" the day after tomorrow, it is often just to improve the physical fitness and strengthen the effect of talent ability, and it is not very dependent on the spells learned the day after tomorrow.
Of course, the three are not so distinct.
This is consistent with Lin Tuo’s guess.
"It seems that wizards are the blood descendants of those genetically mutated and evolved with special abilities... and knights and priests are mainly ordinary people with cultivation talents.
As for'combat skills','divine arts', and'spells', they have different names, but they are essentially all generations of humans. They have been summed up through research and tinkered out, a kind of ability that can be learned..."
As for the so-called "magic power", it is obviously the name of "ether" in this era.
