I, a fallen nobleman, started the farming system

Chapter 124 It Turned Out to be Myopia

It was an ancient aristocratic family named Hope, located in the northern mountains. Although it was close to the place where the orcs were, the two seemed to have a contract, and the orcs would not invade their territory.

After the battle with the orcs, Matthew was ready to look for the next target. On the way, he encountered a strange thing. A large number of local women disappeared, and they were all pregnant women. The nobles in the territory even offered a reward. If you find a trace, you can get a hundred gold coins.

Matthew was not interested in the bounty and was about to leave, but the people from the local Church of the God of Knights saw him and hoped to help. Come down and help.

After this investigation, he was surprised to find that pregnant women have been missing here all the time, but the number used to be relatively small, so if you can't find them, you don't look for them. This time, the number is extremely terrifying, and even the wives of nobles have disappeared.

Matthew felt strange. He thought this was something that cultists would do. He and the church personnel investigated outwards from this center, until they reached the earl's territory in the distance, where there was a bustling city with a permanent population of tens of thousands. above.

There have also been disappearances in this city, and after investigation, the disappearance has even lasted for a hundred years. There is an old man in the mercenary union who said that he took over the mission back then, and he has been searching for several months without finding the reason. He found some traces.

According to the information from the investigation, Matthew found a territory, which is a barony of the Hope family. The area of ​​the territory is not large. It mainly grows potions, and the quantity and quality of potions produced are quite high.

Relying on the ability of the knight, Matthew noticed something was wrong. He borrowed the shadow potion to make himself invisible, entered the castle, and followed the baron deep into the ground.

It turns out that there is another world under the castle. There are a lot of prisons built here, and those missing pregnant women live in them.

In a room, there are a lot of alchemy facilities, and many people are doing research in it.

Matthew saw children with horns and children with bat wings. They were no longer purely human, but more like a hybrid.

The point is that these children are different from half-orcs, and Matthew doesn't know how to describe them. He has seen half-orcs, and the aura of the two is completely different. The latter is completely dark and evil, and what they eat is raw meat.

And after every weird child is successfully born, the first thing to do is to eat the mother's body.

After seeing it, Matthew knew that the nobles here were doing evil research, especially this kind of thing done with the human body, which is absolutely not allowed, but if it is known by others, it will cause joint attacks from all the churches.

The same is true of Matthew, but he is not stupid. Knowing that such a place must be guarded by stronger cultists, he was about to leave and tell the church about it, but unexpectedly, a child found him.

It was a boy about five or six years old, no different from ordinary children, and there were no horns, wings, tails, etc. on his body, only a black swirl on his abdomen.

He pointed directly to where he was, and the cultist appeared.

Matthew had no choice but to fight with the opponent. The strength of the opponent was not very strong, but he was able to use some weird abilities, which made him very uncomfortable. He fought and retreated, and wanted to leave before making plans.

Just as he left the underground and returned to the castle, a female wizard cast a curse and blew a cloud of magic dust into his eyes, making him feel blurred and unable to see clearly.

Fortunately, his strength is good, he successfully left the castle, and then notified the people of the church. Hearing that there were heretics gathered here, the people of the Church of the God of Knights informed other churches.

Members of multiple churches came to the castle together and found that it had been destroyed, the damage was so complete that there were no traces at all.

The Pope of the church directly found the Hope family, who said that Baron Carter had been expelled long ago, and they didn't know what the other party was doing, and they hadn't seen each other for many years.

Although the church wanted to judge, but they couldn't find anyone, they couldn't judge the Hope family.

Moreover, Matthew can roughly guess from the church's attitude that the Hope family is not that simple, otherwise the power of the church will not compromise.

This matter was never resolved. Since then, Matthew has been feeling uncomfortable in his eyes. At first, it was not a big problem. Slowly, he found that his vision became more and more blurred, and he could only squint his eyes when reading. to see.

He had sought treatment from the clergy of the church, but it was of no use at all. He had also sought out elves and druids, but it was still useless.

Matthew found the wizard who had discussed with him before, and the other party said that the puff of magic dust only affected the vision for a short period of time. It stands to reason that it would have been invalid by now. Just to be on the safe side, he checked it again , No trace of dark energy was found on Matthew's eyes.

Since then, he has become less and less able to see clearly, and he is not completely blind, but can still see vague things.

And for some unknown reason, his strength continued to decline, and he was challenged by the knights he looked down on, and he kept losing. His self-confidence was greatly damaged, and he gradually deteriorated.

"Actually, I'm also worried about the Hope family's revenge." After hesitating, Matthew said this sentence, "I always feel that the experiments of the cultists have something to do with the Hope family, because I destroyed their plan, They will definitely not let me go, for various reasons, I became like this."

Lynn had a strange expression on his face, "You said reading?"

"Yes, what's so strange about this, to become a high-level knight, you must have the ability to read and write." Matthew said.

"You have been squinting to read a book, so how about this frequency?"

Matthew thought for a while, and replied, "At that time, I was very puzzled about the cultists, so I looked up books in the church, and read them from morning to night for a long time."

Lynn looked at Matthew carefully, focused on his eyes, stretched out his hand and waved it, "Can you see clearly?"

"Can't see clearly!" Matthew shook his head, "I can only see a little blur."

Lynn took a few steps back, then continued to wave, "What about now?"

"I can't see at all."

Lynn returned, "From just now until now, you have been saying that you can't see clearly, not that you can't see, right?"

Matthew said angrily: "That's right, I'm not blind, but this appearance is no different from a blind man."

Lynn thought about it and said, "I think you can still be saved."

"What do you mean?"

"You seem to be short-sighted like this, rather than being cursed, but the specific situation will not be determined until after the experiment."

"Myopia, what is that?" Matthew wondered, it was the first time he heard this word.

"How can I put it this way, it's a problem that many people have, but I didn't expect it to happen to a high-level knight."

Matthew: "."

"Let's go, let me see if I'm short-sighted." Lynn said.

Lynn brought Matthew to Kiel's blacksmith's shop. At this time, he was concentrating on polishing a tubular iron tool with special care, trying to make sure there was no deviation.

Lynn didn't bother him, but waited.

Matthew was curious, "What are we doing here, and then?"

"He is making a very powerful weapon. If it is successful, even a knight will not be its opponent." Lynn said.

Matthew frowned, "No matter what kind of weapon it is, the key lies in the user. If the person who uses it is not strong, it will not be able to exert the power of the weapon at all."

"Maybe, there will be accidents."

The conversation between the two brought Keir out of his state. He looked at Lynn and said, "My lord, I haven't made the things in the drawings you gave me yet."

Lynn waved his hand, "Don't worry, I'm here this time to let you polish something."

He put the two glasses on the table.

Fortunately, there is glass in this world, but most of them are stained glass full of impurities and not clear enough. They are generally used for decoration. A small part of transparent glass is expensive. Only churches, nobles, and some wealthy businessmen talent can be used.

Therefore, alchemists are often able to take on the role of rich people, because people without money can't even afford glass products.

Lynn told Keil the grinding method, and he himself took a piece of papyrus and pasted it on the wall, with some upside-down symbols drawn on the paper.

Keel polished the glass very carefully. He knew that this thing was expensive, and if it was broken, he would have no way to pay for it.

He used a kind of stone, which is relatively hard and can fully grind glass.

Lynn looked at his skillful look, a little surprised, "Have you done it before?"

"Well, I helped others to grind glass before, but that kind of glass is colored."

Lynn froze for a moment, feeling that this kind of conversation was a bit familiar. The reason why he came to look for Keir was mainly because Willie was not there, and he was more careful and serious in his work, and he did not expect to have unexpected gains.

After grinding for a while, Lynn asked him to stop, then placed two pieces of glass in front of Matthew's eyes, and asked, "Can you see things clearly?"

Matthew was a little surprised, "It's clearer than before, what are you doing and how did you do it?"

Lynn gave the glass to Keir to continue grinding.

After grinding for many times, Lin En held the glass again and asked, "Can I see clearly now?"

Matthew didn't speak, his body was shaking, his hands stretched out, holding the glass very carefully, as if he was afraid of breaking it.

There was shock, disbelief, and joy on his face.

"I see!" Matthew exclaimed.
