I'm an Aristocrat, but I've Started a Farming System

As night falls, the sky is filled with dark clouds, giving people an airtight and depressing feeling, as if it will rain heavily next moment.

Vito came out of the room with the help of magic effects, looked around to make sure there was no one, and then left quietly.

After drinking the shadow potion, he walked in the darkness without being noticed.

Vito had been to the castle when he was a child. At that time, he played very well with the sons of Count Aulis. Later, due to distance issues and his identity, he never contacted them again.

This time he thought about asking the count's children, but he didn't expect any of them to be there.

The more this happens, the more serious the problem in the castle is.

According to his memory, Vito came to the corridor opposite the Earl's room. There were two junior knights standing at the door of the room. They seemed to be too bored and they were still chatting.

Vito hesitated for a moment, but still gave up going forward. Although he could easily subdue the two knights, they would definitely tell the story after they woke up.

Breaking into an earl's room without permission, even if he was a member of the royal family, was considered a violation of noble code.

He took a step forward, and in the next moment, he came to the back of the room. There was a window blocked by a wooden board. He easily broke the wooden board and entered the room.

There was thick purple mist floating in the room. Vito just smelled it, and his expression immediately changed. He covered his mouth and nose with an expression of disbelief on his face.

As a dark cultist, a member of the royal family, and an alchemist in the territory, he knew very well what this purple mist was.

Purple Dark Fairy Dust!

An alchemical product used for treatment and medicine. It requires many rare materials to make it. It has a paralyzing effect on living creatures and can relieve pain. However, once it is overdosed, it will have the opposite effect and the user will become addicted.

If it is controlled in time, this problem can be solved. Once it is used too much and for too long, the whole person's thinking will change and it will be difficult to get out of it.

There was once a dark cultist who studied fairy dust and wanted to use it in other places. He used living creatures to conduct experiments. After the amount reached a certain level, ordinary people and animals would lose their minds and become mindless monsters.

Extraordinary beings with strong willpower such as knights and mages are very resistant, but they still cannot completely fight against them. However, they will retain a certain amount of sanity. After they become addicted, the dark cultists will lock them up and use various methods to control them. Various methods can be used to eliminate it, including the divine protection of clergy, the natural light of elves, and even the war horns of orcs, but they only have a slight effect and cannot completely cure it.

The fog filling the room in front of him could only mean one thing. The other party had been using pixie dust for a long time.

Vito walked towards the bed step by step, used magic, and a stream of wind blew through, carrying purple mist and drifting out of the window.

The bed became clearer, and Vito also saw the person lying on it.

this

The moment he saw it, Vito's blue pupils trembled, his body trembled, and he even took two steps back.

How can it be!

He made a questioning sound.

Lying on the bed was a skinny man, with obvious bones visible under his skin. His face was pale, but his lips were purple. He held a long tube in both hands, took a sip, and then spit out purple mist.

The man had a satisfied expression on his face, his eyes were dull and his eyelids were drooped. When he heard the voice, he reluctantly raised his eyelids and saw him.

who are you?

The vicissitudes of life, weakness, and powerlessness sounded, and it was difficult to imagine that the former earl was a legend in the Kingdom of Kais.

Vito could not imagine seeing the count like this again. The portrait of Count Aulis hung in the royal family, holding a heavy sword and wearing armor, with the corpses of enemies under his feet.

But now, it's really hard for him to connect the two people's looks.

Earl, you... Vito still broke through, Why do you know how to use fairy dust? Don't you know its function?

Who are you? The count did not answer his question, but asked again.

I'm Vito.

Vito? The count thought for a moment, as if he had not thought of this person, then took another puff and exhaled the smoke.

How about you have some too?

Vito felt like he was collapsing. He thought the count was in poor health and it was an injury caused by the war in the early years. He didn't expect it to be like this.

He murmured and used magic.

I can't watch you continue like this, I must rescue you.

Just when he was about to use magic, a shadow came quickly from the count and rushed towards Vito.

The magic defense on his body was automatically activated to block the opponent, but it only lasted for a second before being broken through.

Vito was shocked, Shadow creature!

The door opened and Shani came in from the outside. The two knights guarding her had gone to nowhere.

She looked at the count lying on the bed, still holding the long tube there, as if the battle just now had not affected him at all.

Vito has fallen into a coma, shrouded in shadow.

Shani walked over and reached out to touch Vito's cheek, He looks pretty good, but it's a pity that you came to the wrong place. But for me, you came to the right place. If you didn't come, it would be difficult to implement the plan.

Lock him up!

The shadows flowed like water, carrying Vito away.

Shani stood in front of the bed and said lovingly: My dear, it won't take long for you to be free, but before that, I will let you see a good show.

She left the room.

The Earl on the bed did not continue to smoke, a trace of sadness flashed in his eyes, and then disappeared.

Shani was in a pretty good mood. His Royal Highness came and provided a key link in the realization of her plan. Now she only needed to lock him up and wait for the experiment to succeed, and then she could implement the plan.

By that time, the entire city of Oris will become a demon's lair.

In the distance, Galvin, hiding in the shadows, saw this scene. He turned around and left, returning to his room.

As an old butler of the castle, his room was very simple, and it was still on the ground floor of the castle. This should be where the servants lived, but Galvin had never changed his room.

Hey! Galvin sighed.

Things became more complicated. He did not expect that His Highness the Third Prince would come here, which forced him to change his previous plan.

When His Highness the Third was arrested, the other party would never lock him up so simply. They must have their own purpose.

Galvin kept thinking and struggling.

Ever since the count became ill and disappeared, he felt strange. He tried to go to the count many times to find out what was going on, and also asked friends to treat him, but it had no effect at all.

At that time, he didn't understand why his druid friend said such a thing, but later Master Linn reminded him.

Fairy dust, Galvin never expected that the master would be affected by such a thing. He had been with the master for so long and had been on the battlefield together, so he knew very well what kind of person the master was.

There is absolutely no way he is addicted to pixie dust, there must be something wrong with it.

During this period of time, he had been conducting continuous investigations and finally discovered some problems.

The basement of the castle has been re-enchanted and is inaccessible. This has never happened before, and it can only mean that Shani is doing something here.

He wanted to go in and take a look many times, but after thinking about it, he decided to forget it. He only had one chance and he didn't want to waste it.

The Third Prince entered the Earl's room and was arrested, indicating that he knew something. Shani wanted to plot this. If he was rescued, it would ruin the other party's plan.

Galvin stopped, his eyes firm, he only had one chance, and he would use it at this time.

He walked to the bed and turned the candlestick on the wall. With the sound, the floor under the bed moved, revealing a downward staircase.

The entire castle was designed and built by the Earl and him, and the serfs who built it were killed. Even the Earl's children did not know the structure inside the castle.

The reason why he has been living in this room is that there is a secret passage here.

Galvin entered the secret passage with the candle and went down the stairs.

A corridor is winding and divided into multiple intersections. Because no one has been here for a long time, the air seems a little turbid.

He made a distinction and walked forward.

This corridor is independent of the entire underground and can lead to every room. When it was built, magic exploration was considered, so magic materials were used in some places.

When he walked somewhere, he smelled blood.

Galvin turned around and looked over. This was a prison, responsible for imprisoning some people who made mistakes, but it had been abandoned for a long time. The smell of blood came from inside. It was obvious that Shani was using it to imprison someone.

He looked at the wall, and on the other side of the wall were the missing refugees.

Galvin turned and left. Although he was curious, he knew what he should do.

After walking for a while, Galvin took out a spar badge from his pocket, which was trembling slightly and glowing faintly.

After His Highness the Third Highness called him to the room to inquire about things and left, Galvin discovered the spar badge in his pocket. At first, he didn't understand its use, but now that he thought about it, His Highness already knew that something would happen to him.

He moved the spar badge, and when the brightness of the light stabilized, he could be sure that the other party was being held behind the wall.

Vito woke up and looked at the surrounding environment with a complicated expression on his face.

The count's changes were beyond his understanding, and the appearance of shadow creatures made him extremely confused.

Shadow creatures can be summoned as summons and attack enemies, but they have never been controlled. The most they can do is sign a contract, which is extremely rare.

He knew that only a few shadow masters could sign contracts with shadow creatures. If such people were planning here, only the archbishop level could solve the problems here.

A county should not dispatch the Shadow Master.

If it is true, then he has no hope of escaping, and the other party's plan will proceed smoothly. The Kingdom of Kais will be in civil strife, and their achievements will be destroyed.

If not, then how did the shadow creatures come from.

In his opinion, the countess knew all this, she might be the executor of the plan, and it was because of her that the count became what he was.

This matter must be communicated to the upper echelons of the church so that they know and prepare.

But he was imprisoned here, seriously injured, and his magic power was even more restricted.

At this moment, a voice came from behind.

A stone door moved on the wall, and Galvin's voice sounded, Your Highness.

Vito turned to look at Galvin, who still held his contact badge in his hand, and said in shock: Why are you here.

I saw you being arrested and found you with this badge. Galvin explained.

Actually, this badge is for you to contact others. It can prove my identity.

When Vito did this, he was holding back, but he didn't mean to let Galvin save him.

Galvin helped Vito up, Let's go, it's not safe here.

They leave and the stone door closes.

Half an hour later, Shani came here with a smile on her face, Your Highness, you.

Her smile stopped suddenly and turned into anger, Where are the people!

castle.

The countess issued an order. The old housekeeper Galvin murdered the third prince and fled in fear of the crime. Whoever catches him will be rewarded with a hundred gold coins.

The knights and mages of the castle were stunned. They knew very well about this old butler. Although the loyal earl was strict, he managed the castle very well, and there was no problem of bullying and oppression.

The old butler has a higher position in their hearts, and they all obey the old butler's words more than the earl.

Now it is too outrageous to say that the old butler killed the Third Highness.

Moreover, the Countess is not good enough and does not regard these people as human beings at all.

Comparing the two, many people still feel that the old housekeeper would not do such a thing.

In the hall, Shani threw things angrily.

Damn it, you all deserve to die!

There was anger on her face that these people in the castle didn't listen to her.

When the plan is completed, you people will know the consequences of offending me.

Shani calmed down. She had already sent her men to find Galvin and Vito. In order to prevent the matter from being exposed and causing the plan to fail, she even sent out the shadow guards guarding the count.

She was confused as to why Galvin knew where Vito was being held and how he got in by bypassing the security.

There are many secrets in this castle that she has not discovered. In order to avoid this happening again, she must search carefully.

Shani frowned, Vito was an indispensable part of the plan and there must be no problems.

Although the plan was progressing so smoothly, something still went wrong. Shani felt that she had to speed up the plan again to avoid accidents happening again.
