I, a fallen nobleman, started the farming system

Chapter 160 The Empty Town
Two carriages were driving on the road, surrounded by several guards.

Bob was riding on the horse, holding the knight's sword firmly in one hand, and looked around vigilantly.

"You don't have to be so nervous. I didn't see you like this when I was still in the tavern before." Crowe complained next to him, "If you let those people in the tavern know, I'm afraid they won't believe it."

"Crow, this is the first time we have come out with a caravan. You should know the importance. This means that the lord trusts us, but it also represents an assessment. If it is successfully completed, we will pass the assessment. If something goes wrong, maybe There is no way to stay in Ashes Town." Bob shook his head and said seriously.

"You're right. I don't want to go back. Ash Town is really special. I like it very much. I plan to take over my family after a while." Crowe said his thoughts, "My The wife is an excellent seamstress and I am sure she will find a suitable job here."

"Nonsense, so many waterwheels were built along the Rhine River just for weaving. Tailors are especially welcome. I think the same as you. I also want to bring my family here, but my son is hard to agree." Bob worried.

"Your son has the talent of a mage, so he should soon become an official mage?"

"How is it possible? The mage is not that simple. He is still an apprentice, but I believe that with his talent, he will definitely be able to break through. Our family really did not expect a spellcaster to appear. I gave him all the money I earned before. I also made a lot of money working in Ashes Town during this period, and I plan to send it after a while."

When he mentioned his son, Bob had a look of pride on his face.

The status of mages is much higher than that of knights, and mages are more likely to be favored by nobles, and they may be named nobles.

"I'm really envious!" Crowe said from the bottom of his heart.

The two chatted, but did not relax their vigilance about the surroundings.

The two of them were assigned to guard the caravan, which was an obvious signal. As Bob said, the lord's trust in them was also an assessment.

Karis in the carriage listened to the conversation of the knights outside, but was thinking in his heart.

He has been to three towns and sold a large number of products, among which cloth is the most sold, glass is partly sold, and no one buys perfume at all, because the price is too expensive, only nobles can afford it.

After he was going to the next town, he went to the nearest city, believing that there he could sell all the remaining products.

In addition, he had to purchase a batch of supplies. The Red Heart Lion Caravan didn't know what was going on, and they hadn't come back during this period of time. As a result, they had to buy some rare things by themselves.

The carriage stopped, and Karis heard a surprised voice outside.

"what happened?"

Carliss got out of the carriage.

Bob looked serious, "Something's wrong, Crowe, you watch here, I'll go over and have a look."

He rode into town.

This town is called Violet Town, and there is a violet flower field. Not only does it sell violet flowers, but it also sells a kind of fragrance liquid, which is not expensive, and is especially popular among free people. It is just like this that every household will grow violets. For other products There are also more demands.

The town is not big, but from the houses on both sides of the street, it can be seen that the lives of the people living here are pretty good.

But now there is no one on the street, it is empty, the wind blows, and the violets are blown up.

Bob drew out the knight sword and looked around vigilantly. He saw the door of the bakery opened, white bread scattered on the ground, and the cloth in the tailor's shop was cut open, as if he had encountered some kind of battle.

Not only the shops, but even the houses are empty.

Bob checked around, returned to the caravan, and told the steward about the situation in the town.

After hearing this, Karis asked them to take him to see it.

Seeing the appearance of the town, Karis didn't hesitate and told them to leave immediately.

He didn't go to the city again, but returned directly to Ashes Town.

"My lord, something has happened," Callis called.

Lynn was looking at the potion, and heard Karis's words, "What's the matter?"

Carliss told all about the strangeness of Violet Town, and he said worriedly: "Could it be a dark cultist? I have been to the town many times, and there are at least a few hundred people there, but now everyone is gone. "

"Is there any trace of something wrong?"

Lynn called Bob and Crowe over and questioned them.

Bob thought about it carefully, and said something wrong that he found, "I found traces of fighting, but I didn't see blood, and there were no traces of dragging on the ground, as if these people had resisted. , but when they resisted, they suddenly fainted."

"Who do you think did it?" Lynn asked.

Bob shook his head, "I don't know, even the most powerful thieves would not do such a thing, as for those mercenaries who arrest people and sell them, it is even more impossible to attack a town, because the town belongs to the lord, so What they do will only make them die faster.

I think it's not easy for the person who makes the shot, there may be a spell caster, otherwise it would not be possible to achieve this level. "

"Are there any traces around the town?"

"I checked in the town, and there is no footprint left on the main road. It is not ruled out that the other party used special means to erase it." Bob replied.

"That's the Dark Cultist." Carliss said, "Only they can do such a thing."

"But why did they do this? The Dark Cultists are now sewer rats, and they can't see the light at all. What's more, there are church clergymen looking for them, but they attack the town, so they are not afraid of being found?" Lynn said. .

Carliss thought for a while, and it was true, but who else could do such a thing except the dark believers.

"Hundreds of people have all disappeared. They didn't take any money with them. The other party was obviously not a mercenary, nor would it be any organized person. After all, even a knight would not miss gold coins when doing such a thing, nor That is to say, the other party only targets people." Lin En expressed his guess.

"Go back first, don't say anything about this."

Lynn left the castle and walked towards the workshop area.

He came to the place where Harlem worked, an ordinary house, but there was a huge magic circle engraved in the middle. The magic circle was not completed yet, and Harlem was resting and recovering his magic power.

"Why did you come here suddenly?"

"When Carliss went out, I encountered some things. I thought it was a bit weird, and I wanted to come and ask you." Lynn explained the matter in detail.
