I was regarded as a demon god by a witch

Chapter 129 Snow Mountain Law and the Restricted Scale of War (5108)

Ivita stayed in Parvega for two more days.

He has stayed in Parvega for six days, but he has visited the Parvega market for two days, but he has not found a mirror that can only be purchased with a hundred gold.

The market is mainly full of crops and handicrafts from all over the world, as well as a large number of weapons, as well as strange objects from all over the place, as well as a circus performing along the street.

At this time, Ivita was already preparing to set off to go back tomorrow morning.

But a lot has happened in the past two days.

First, the grain in the fields of the villages and small towns near Parvega began to suffer from a wide range of insect diseases;

Second, the Ambrose City Council actually issued orders for conscription and taxation to major cities and territories. Similarly, the Viscount Winchester was not to be outdone, and followed closely behind to impose orders on the entire territory and cities of Ambrose. , issued tax and conscription orders.

Both sides acted as if they were rulers of Ambrose;
The third is that the Pope has brought a new Golden Seal Royal Order to all the cities and baronial territories of Ambrose - the pope's will is to restrict the participation of professionals of the fourth level and above the fourth level The war, while banning Ambrose, involved a total of more than 20 men.

Those who violated the order would be excommunicated by the Pope.

Ivita also doesn't know why the Pope calculated the maximum number of people allowed in this war.

But there must be some reason for that.

At the same time, he felt even more the horror of the coming war.

He and his barony are still too insignificant in such a war.

When he fought the Son of the Forest before, there were only more than 200 troops defending the city.

In the terrible coup d'etat in Parvega, the soldiers who fought on both sides amounted to more than 7000 people.

Now, the Pope forbids the number of people participating in a single battle between Ambrose and Ambrose to be less than 20.

This shows that if the Pope does not limit, then the number of Ambrose participants in the war will increase a lot.

To be honest, even if these 20 people are an army composed of ordinary people, they can easily destroy Parvega or his own territory.

What's more, these armies often have a large number of low-level professionals mixed in, and may also be equipped with some magic items and magic weapons.

At dusk at sunset, before the silky calm river of Parvega.

Mrs. Alice said to Evita: "This is the lifeline of our city, a tributary of the Po River, which runs through all the cities in Ambrose."

"Countless ships set off from here every day to transport goods to various places, and countless ships come here."

"The Pope's messenger, Ambrose's city council, and Viscount Winchester's orders are all sent to everyone through this river. If it is urgent, special ships on the Po River can go within a day. All over the Po River Basin and the Ambrose Basin."

"It can be said that the Po River is the blood vessel on the Ambrose Plain."

Evita thought about it. "No wonder, Parvega has been receiving letters from all over the past few days."

"If you travel by water, it is indeed much faster than by land."

"So, all the important cities and territories of Ambrose are located by the river. That is to say, as long as the river is controlled, it is tantamount to controlling the lifeline of Ambrose."

Mrs. Alice nodded and said, "Look, the special organization on that ship."

Ivita looked at Mrs. Alice, and in the direction he was pointing, he saw a boat with eight wooden oars protruding from both sides, and a huge waterwheel-like mechanism on the rear side.

This windmill-like mechanism hangs a small wooden cup at the end of each leaf, so that after the wooden cup is filled with water, it will automatically pour into the groove next to the waterwheel, and the water in the groove will flow into another waterwheel Then another water wheel drives the wooden gear to rotate, and finally through a series of mechanical structures, the propellers on both sides of the boat in Parvega on the Po River are rotated.

The energy source of this special mechanical structure is only water flow.

In fact, it is a waterwheel, plus the transmission and propeller of the waterwheel version.

Evita frowned. "A boat like this is very useful, but the premise is that there must be enough water flow in the Po River to allow the mechanical structure of the boat on the Po River to work."

Lady Alice chuckled. "Ivita, your territory is in the mountains, so you may not understand."

"Actually, the humans in Ambrose are allies with the ice witch on the snow mountain."

"The source of the Po River is the palace of the Ice Witch on the snow-capped mountains. All the river water flows out of that palace. Therefore, the Ice Witch blessed all human ships on the Po River. vessel."

"Speed ​​up the ship."

"That's why we designed automatic waterwheels and automatic propellers for ships, because human ships are always supported by the current in the Po River, and by using this current, the ships in the Po River Basin can all be automatic and fast. driving."

"Huh?" Ivita was a little confused.

Because the Ice Witch has too many allies.

The Son of the Forest is an ally of the Ice Witch, Viscount Winchester is an ally of the Ice Witch, and now the entire human race of Ambrose is an ally of the Ice Witch.

Then he figured it out. Originally, he thought that the Ice Witch was the enemy of mankind, but now it seems that the co-author is a neutral force.

Because she bets on both sides, she becomes a neutral force.

It's just that I don't know why the Ice Witch would do this?
Ivita looked at the old witch, "Is it an official witch with such great power to bless thousands of ships in the Po River Basin?"

"Speaking of which, I was distressed by my own fire magic before. When I was on fire, it was you who responded to the magic power of the ice witch and turned a stream into a river, which extinguished the flames on my body."

Evita runs her fingers to her chin. "In this case, I should thank the Ice Witch."

The Hearthstone Witch was extremely jealous and gritted her teeth. "Thank you for what she is doing, my lord, of course a mere official witch has no such magic power, it is the law, and she is just a puppet under the law."

"It is the Law of the Snow Mountain. Controlling the Po River Basin is an important subsidiary law of the Law of the Snow Mountain, and it is also a compromise of the Law of the Snow Mountain to the fire of the law: the thousand-year-old fire."

The great witch of Hearthstone said: "Legends say that after the sea of ​​redwood trees disappeared, Ambrose was turned into a world of ice and snow for a while. For the Po River."

"The Ice Witch is the protector of the law of the snow mountain. She can do this kind of thing only with the help of the law of the snow mountain. If I also have such a law, I will be even better."

The old witch said a little sourly: "If I had the Snow Mountain Law, I might be the High Witch by now."

"I really don't know why the ice witch on the mountain is still an ordinary witch after so many years."

Evita blushed.

He changed the subject so that some of the people around him would not be too sour.

Ivita said to Mrs. Alice: "I see that redwood trees have also begun to grow on the bottom of the Po River. Mrs. Alice, you'd better prepare for it-even if the Po River is unusable, it will not affect the river. Trade to Parvega."

Mrs. Alice raised her left eyebrow in surprise, showing a funny expression, and she laughed. "It's good to think too much, but Iveta doesn't have to be so worried about things that never happen."

"The Po River is 400 meters wide at its widest point and tens of meters at its narrowest point. Historically, there has been almost no sign of congestion."

"You're worrying too much."

Evita didn't want to argue with her. "Speaking of which, it would be great if the Po River could reach the gate of my territory."

"This saves us the time of traveling."

If you start from your own territory and use a horse-drawn carriage to go to Parvega by land, and it takes four days to go back and forth, then using the Po River, the automatic propeller boat with a special structure, and the blessings of the Ice Witch and the Snow Mountain Law on human ships, then it is possible to go back and forth. It only takes half a day.

No wonder, the commerce and trade in the Ambrose Basin are so developed. It seems that this is not only because of the special humanistic habits, but also because of the unique environment.

This means that the entire Ambrose has a very developed highway system.

In the previous life on Earth, there was a famous saying - if you want to be rich, build roads first.

The Ambrose Basin naturally enjoys this unique water transport, and it is really lucky.

Mrs. Alice suddenly said to Evita, "Yes. But you may have to spend millions of gold pounds."

Seeing Ivita's puzzled expression, Mrs. Alice replied: "Ivita, the Po River on the Ambrose Plain has been remodeled."

"You know, ancient civilization?"

"This used to be the administrative center of the ancient civilization for a certain period of time. It took the ancient civilization thousands of years to dig ditches here little by little, and this shaped the current Po River Basin."

"In other words, if you want to have a river like this in your territory, the best way is to hire someone to dig it yourself."

"However, it is estimated that such a huge project will be completed decades later. This is something that will benefit future generations."

Evita smiled, but didn't speak.

The dome murals in the Flame Sacrifice once showed that Chitose Fire was invited into the pantheon of ancient civilizations.

The ancient civilizations did use this as their administrative center, but for some unknown reason, it was later removed from here.

After all, I don't even know the reason for the collapse of the ancient civilization.

"Pan said that the same tragedies are happening now." Ivita thought in a low voice. "Could it be that the mysterious demise of the ancient civilization and the ancient world is similar to the civil war happening in Ambrose now?"

"Did the Chitose Fire begin to decline because of the civil war?"

its not right.

If so, 400 years ago, in the extinct war created by Witch Anna's conspiracy, why didn't the Chitose Fire decline?
This shows that the direct cause of Chitose Fire's decline should not be civil strife.

It is very likely that I have reversed the logical order.

That is, it is likely that the Chitose Fire declined first, and then the demons and ghosts hiding in the shadows appeared, and caused the current civil strife in Ambrose.

Ivita couldn't figure it out for a while, stretched his waist, and planned to return to the house prepared for him by the blacksmith's guild.

"Mrs. Alice, I want to go back. I will leave this city tomorrow morning."

"In the future, we can use carrier pigeons to communicate. If there is no important matter, the people who trade with our guild will generally be Griffin knights."

Doing business in this era still requires some strength.

Otherwise, the goods may be robbed on the road.

Therefore, he needs Griffin Knights to escort his caravan.

Lady Alice came up a few steps. "Master Ivita, I don't know much...I don't quite understand, what do you think of the current situation?"

said Mrs. Alice gently.

As partners, they better understand where the other side stands.

Now Parvega's position is very obvious, that is, he is on the side of the Ambrose City Council. If Ivita is on the side of Viscount Winchester, the relationship between the two parties will be very strange.

Evita laughed: "My position is that I have no position."

Lady Alice was puzzled. "No position? Why?"

"Because I don't really want to mix with their war, so I don't plan to join this civil war." Ivita said: "If possible, I want to remain neutral."

A war with a total of 20 people...

Now that I and my territory can not join this kind of war, I will not join.

Moreover, Ivita knew that soon Ambrose's food would be scarce, the price of food would rise, and even the Po River would be stained with blood.

He'd better prepare more food.

The cast iron business is a long-term business, but if you want to get a large amount of money at once, and then use it all to buy food, you need to do something to get quick money.

Ivita walked and thought, what is the fastest way to get money?
When Mrs. Alice saw that Ivita was not going to join Viscount Winchester with obsessive-compulsive disorder, she immediately felt relieved. "If possible, I also want to keep Parvega neutral."

"Because when there is a war, the city council will tax everyone."

"And the bulk of the tax is always paid by those of us with a lot of wealth."

"But after this coup d'état launched by Prol, I know that Parvega will either choose to lay down his arms and be wantonly insulted and looted by the enemy, or he will raise his arms to fight. Iveta, I hope your territory will not cause trouble for both sides. attention."

"I hope." Ivita said to Mrs. Alice: "By the way, recently, take out the guild's gold pound reserve and exchange it for food. It's best to persuade the mayor to do the same. The food price will increase soon. The price is..."

And, there may be a shortage of supply.

Ivita can't go on talking anymore, and can't tell Mrs. Alice that he knows that the grain production in the entire Ambrose Basin will plummet in the future.

Although Mrs. Alice is her partner, she can't be completely defensive.

There are still boundaries to be had.

You must know that in times of famine, angry and hungry people will often vent their anger on the person who first warned them, and they will think that this person cursed the field.

Ivita must protect herself and not become the target of the irrational people venting.

Last time, I reported the information about the Sons of the Forest army to the city of Ambrose and Viscount Winchester. Both sides believed that Iveta was falsely reporting the record and expressed the so-called generous understanding to myself. Tower knew that if he dared to tell those two parties, there would be a famine in Ambrose in the future.

There is a great probability that these two parties will sell themselves when everyone is angry.

After all, it has always been the case that whoever asks a question solves it.

If you can't solve the problem, you are the problem.

In the final analysis, it is Iveta who is still too soft-spoken.

It would have been different if he had been the ruler of all Ambrose.

However, if he is a powerful lord or aristocrat, it will be very convenient for him to find a replacement for the dead ghost.

Mrs. Alice was thoughtful. "Grain reserves...I'll think about it."

Ivita nodded, and then left with the old witch.

After parting with Alice, Evita and the Hearthstone Witch returned to their accommodation.

The maids changed Ivita's sweat-stained clothes, and then prepared a wooden bucket for him to bathe in. The wooden bucket was filled with hot water and a white towel.

After Ivita changed his body, the blacksmith guild gave him the clean clothes that fit him, and after dinner, he read throwing magic on the bed in his bedroom, and read a book on fire magic. Close your eyes and go to sleep.

Read some magic books every day, so that you can increase your magic literacy.

Today is a full moon, the moonlight is too bright, and Ivita draws the curtains.

He fell asleep in a daze.

While half-asleep and half-awake, Ivita heard the sound of her door and window opening, and the cold wind from outside rushed in through the window, and the curtains fluttered in the wind like the arms of a giant waving.

Because at this time, it was raining lightly outside, so the wind and rain rushed into the room, filling the dark bedroom with moisture.

Ivita closed his left eye and got up from the bed, only to see a figure beside his window, and there was a pair of corners on the huge shadow cast on the ground by this figure.

Just don't know what angle it is.

"who are you?"

Ivita's magical hands grabbed the broken steel sword and the sword in flames on the bedside table.

In addition, the rose flower necklace you wear should also provide you with some protection.

The next moment, the uninvited guest who suddenly broke into his bedroom came out from the shadow by the window. In the moonlight, his horns were so strange, and his eyes were so magical, unfathomably like a wild vortex.

This is an unexpected acquaintance for Evita!
God Pan!

Ivita didn't expect to see God Pan here, and he immediately sank his face. Did the other party want to assassinate him, or avenge the Son of the Forest who died in the last battle?

Where did the old witch go?
God Pan approached, but she didn't respond at all. Could it be that God Pan killed her?

Ivatar twirled the Ring of Thunder Eye worn on her right finger.

Unexpectedly, Pan Shen suddenly raised his finger and put it on his lips. "Please wait a moment."

"Ivita, there is no need to use force."

"This time, I came to see you as your friend."

"As a friend, I know that you have been full of confusion recently, and even delayed in Parvega for two days, and have not returned to the territory for a long time."

"Oh, I just came here to solve your worries."

Ivita narrowed her eyes and said, "Are you spying on me?"
