I, a fallen nobleman, started the farming system

Chapter 162 The Refugees from Olis City
In Orlis City, the original bustling streets have changed. There are fewer pedestrians, shops are closed, and a few scattered people walk quickly when they come out, as if they are afraid of what will happen to them in the next moment.

The rubbish that can be seen everywhere was blown by the wind and rolled away on the ground, curled up, and floated into the distance.

There are only a few large shops in the whole street that are still open and their lights are on, but there are very few customers inside.

Inside the store, two female shop assistants were lying at the door and looking outside.

"Ossana, what's going on these days, why is there no one suddenly?"

The female shop assistant called Ossana had a worried expression on her face, and a trace of fear and panic flashed in her eyes.

"It's okay, Fenner, it might be because of the dark believers, but there are several churches built in the city, and the clergy have been looking for them everywhere. I believe they will be caught soon."

Fenner nodded, and whispered, "I want to go to the Church of the Holy Light, do you want to go?"

"Don't go!" Ossana directly stopped, "You should know that this kind of thing is not allowed here, what if you are found and you are hanged?"

"But, I saw a lot of people going."

"That's someone else!"

"Boom!"

The sound of thunder sounded from the sky, interrupting the conversation between the two of them. They looked at the sky, and the dark clouds were gloomy, which made people feel depressed.

"It's going to rain, are you still going home, or wait until tomorrow?" Fenner asked.

"Well, go home, it's okay."

Ossana wrapped her clothes tightly and walked on the street with dark clouds above her head. She didn't dare to stop, she just wanted to get home quickly.

Heavy raindrops fell and slapped on her body. Seeing that the rain was getting heavier and heavier, and even her sight was affected, Ossana had no choice but to find a place to shelter from the rain.

She looked at the sky and the continuous heavy rain, feeling very anxious in her heart. She thought that if she walked quickly, she would be able to get home, but she didn't expect the rain to fall so suddenly.

The rainwater washed over the street, washing away the hardened dirt on it, and then smashed it into tiny lumps, which were impulsively flowed towards the low-lying places in the continuous decomposition.

There was a weird smell in the air, and Ossana couldn't help pinching her nose.

It was a smell of something that had been left for a long time, but it was washed away by the rain and mixed with the smell of soil, which was strange beyond description.

Ossana watched the ground become clean, and her mood eased a little. She likes rain very much, because only when it rains can the surrounding smell be washed away. After the strange incident, she didn't dare to stay outside for a long time.

I don't know when the rain will stop, Ossana is going to wait until she is a little smaller and can see the road clearly before leaving.

At this moment, she heard the sound of stones moving, and a black shadow appeared in front of her. Due to the distance, she couldn't see what it was. She could only see the black shadow staying in place for a while, as if paying attention When he got to her, he began to move a little closer to her.

Ossana felt strange, was the other party rushing to take shelter from the rain too?

Before she could think about other possibilities, she saw the black shadow speeding up and rushing towards this side.

It was a distorted face with red eyes and a wide open mouth with sharp teeth.

"Ah!" Ossana screamed, facing such a terrifying thing, she wanted to run away, but her legs were weak and she fell to the ground.

The monster rushed towards her.

I don't know how long it has passed, Ossana slowly opened her eyes, she thought of the monster, and immediately looked around in horror, but there was no trace of the monster at all.

She didn't know if she was hallucinating or what was going on, she didn't dare to stay here any longer, she got up quickly and staggered away.

"boom!"

The sound of an explosion sounded.

Matthew looked at the ground outside the knight's guard as if it had been bombarded by magic, with a shocked expression on his face.

After removing the guard of the knight, Matthew came out and stood on the edge of the pit.

Lynn and Roland came over and stood beside him, also looking at the pit.

"Is this magic?" Matthew asked with a special tone.

"Yes, but this kind of magic is common people's magic." Lynn replied.

"Civilians' magic." Matthew murmured twice, "Personal knights can also use the magic they use."

Lynn has no words. What he wants more is magic that ordinary people can use, but it is still unattainable at present, at least the results achieved so far are quite good.

Matthew looked at Lynn and said, "Do you know what impact the appearance of this weapon will have?"

He didn't wait for Lynn to answer, but said to himself, "My current strength has returned to the middle-level knight, and the knight protection I use is stronger than the regular knight's defense of the same level, but under this magic, I can't stick to it. In a short time, if it was replaced by a junior knight, it would be blasted a few times at most. If the body of a junior knight faced the explosion, it would be seriously injured just once, and completely dead if it happened twice.

If it explodes on the head, there is no possibility of survival at all. This is still a knight. If they attack a mage, as long as they do not use the magic barrier, they will die with one shot. "

After a pause, Matthew continued: "If the number increases to a certain level, knights don't need to fight close to each other at all, and can directly shoot from a distance. A knight who has mastered melee combat and long-range spellcasting is unimaginable."

Even a knight like Matthew, who has a lot of knowledge and has fought countless strong men, was shocked at this moment.

It is also because he has a lot of knowledge and foresight that he can imagine what the future war will look like.

Just like him, fighting with senior knights of the same level, he took out the magic crystal pistol and shot a few times in a row, catching the opponent off guard, so he could take the opportunity to shoot.

Or if the two fight to the end and neither can win, then the magic crystal pistol is the key to victory.

Moreover, the spar explosion power of the magic crystal pistol is extremely powerful, and there is still room for improvement. A junior knight can use this to easily kill knights of the same level, and it is also worthwhile against intermediate knights.

If there were ten, fifty, or a hundred knights, if they fired a volley, the senior knights would also be blown to pieces.

"At present, it can only be used by extraordinary people. We are studying the method for ordinary people to use it. It is hard to say when we will be able to research it." Lynn said.

"Still letting ordinary people use it?" Matthew didn't know what to say.

He admitted that he still underestimated Lynn.

Lynn didn't say too much on this, but turned to the next topic, "Recently, you took Miles and Darcy to find Warcraft, and killed two of them?"

"They are all the lowest-level monsters, and their combat power is not strong, but in the process of fighting monsters, they can improve their actual combat experience, especially Darcy, whose progress is quite fast, beyond my expectations, I can be sure , he was able to enter the senior knight."

It is not an easy thing to be praised so much by Matthew.

After Lynn nodded slightly, he said, "This time I have asked you to come out. Apart from verifying the power of the magic crystal pistol, there is one more thing for you."

Matthew looked at him.

"I want to ensure the safety of this place. You lead a few other knights to form a team to kill monsters. I hope to clean up all the monsters around Ashes Town without leaving a single one."

"Okay, leave it to me." Matthew agreed.

He is hesitating.

"What's the matter, if you have something to say, just say it."

"What method do I use when I want to kill a monster?"

Lin En understood what he said, and said meaningfully: "Matthew Knight, the times have changed, don't think about it with the old thinking, just now your face is constantly changing, you should also think of the effect of the magic crystal pistol, you can use it to Deciding to win the battle, why not use it."

"I see." Matthew replied.

Lin En left the workshop, and he went to the spar production workshop again. Hamid and several other casters were continuously making spar, polishing the spar, and finally becoming usable ammunition.

He came to a house piled up with a lot of iron lumps again, and sighed.

After Harvey brought those people, Lynn asked the casters to use the hands of a mage to shape them. He wanted to make a steam engine, and relying on the hands of a mage, he successfully made the simplest steam engine.

However, there is no effect.

Steam can appear, but it can't be used. The steam seems to have special energy. After it is dispersed, it cannot be condensed.

He discussed it with Hamid, and agreed that steam is also a form of magic power. Although water is turned into steam through a large iron lump, it does not get rid of the category of natural magic power. It is nothing more than changing a thing. But the essence remains the same.

Natural magic can be used, but it has its own characteristics, which is the reason for failure.

It was this incident that made Lin En realize again that there is magic in this world, and some technologies cannot be realized through conventional means, but he doesn't know which one works or which one doesn't, so he can only try one by one.

Anyway, try a few more times, there is nothing wrong.

There was a noisy sound in the distance. Lin En walked along and saw a lot of people on the road into the town. They were carrying big and small bags, dragging their families with them as if they were fleeing famine.

"What's going on?" Lynn asked.

Karis said quickly: "My lord, you are here."

Hearing that it was the nobles, all these people knelt down.

"My lord, they are refugees." Karis informed.

"What?" Lynn froze for a moment, "You said they were refugees, how could that be possible!"

These people in front of them are not to mention dressed gorgeously, at least they are dressed like ordinary civilians. They have ruddy faces, bright eyes, and strong bodies. It is impossible for them to be refugees.

Lynn has seen refugees. Compared with serfs, these people have the status of free people. To a certain extent, their life is not as good as that of serfs.

These dozens of people are all well-off free citizens.

Karis also felt strange and replied, "I don't know what's going on. I was busy in the paper mill. Little Tom came and said that there were many people here. I came to ask them and found out that they were refugees. I have other questions." I didn't have time to ask."

Lynn said, "Get up, all of you."

The kneeling people looked at me and I looked at you, and then they stood up, but they didn't dare to look directly at the noble lord, fearing that they would be hanged.

"Where do you all come from?"

"Olis City." A man answered tremblingly.

Lynn frowned, and Carliss yelled out in shock, "What nonsense, Orlis City is the territory of the Earl of Orlis, where the economy is stable and food is plentiful, and only refugees have passed by, and no refugees have escaped yet. "

"My lord, we are really from the city of Olis."

The man knelt down and said in a crying voice: "My name is Nolly Johnson. I am the owner of the bakery on Tulip Avenue in Orlis City. I have delivered bread to the Earl's Castle before. I am not talking nonsense."

Karis looked at him with a look of reminiscence on his face. He remembered that he had indeed met each other before.

"Your bread-baking skills are very good, you don't have to worry about life problems at all, why are you still here?" Karis asked puzzled.

"It's because of the Dark Cultist." Noli's body was shaking with fear.

"Tell me what's going on." Lynn asked in a deep voice.

Noli and the others began to talk, explaining all the reasons why they came here.

The more Lin En heard it, the more ugly his face became. He didn't expect the matter to be so serious.

According to Noli, the city of Orlis is now completely shrouded in threats from the dark cultists. The refugees on the street have disappeared, and even their bodies can't be found. No one knows where they went.

But they are clear that these refugees will not leave for no reason. Many refugees have even stayed in the city for several years. If they leave the city, they will not survive at all.

At the beginning, some refugees who had just arrived in Olis City disappeared, and no one cared about it. Later, those refugees who often sat on the street disappeared. Many people think that the disappearance of these people is a good thing. I think the street will become more comfortable without them.

But slowly, some people who went home at night did not get home, and disappeared on the way back.

The families of these people called detectives, but there were no leads at all.

Many people went to the church, hoping that the clergy could help them find it. They also made promises, but after so long, there was still no news.

In the past few days, more and more people have disappeared, even some shop owners.

Just yesterday, Noli's neighbor, the owner of a tailor shop, and his family all disappeared. He was afraid and didn't dare to stay any longer, so he ran out with his family.
