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

The carriage stopped, and in front of Linn's eyes were large areas of farmland and scattered dilapidated houses.

This is the main crop planting area of ​​Ash Town. Most of the crops are grown, harvested and transported out here. The serfs living in the house are born for this.

Karis said: Master, the crops grown in Ash Town are mainly wheat, soybeans and peas. Many years ago, the town would also provide the castle with a batch of crops during the annual harvest season. Later, it became less and less until there was no more. According to The mayor reported that this place was attacked by monsters, and the serfs were killed and injured numerous times. The farmland was also polluted by monsters, making it difficult for crops to grow.

Lin En walked towards the farmland. It was the season for sowing, but the land was only plowed briefly, and there was a strange smell in the air, which made him feel a little familiar.

Hearing the noise outside, the serfs came out of the house and saw each other's clothes. They immediately knew that it was the nobles who were coming, and hurriedly knelt down, not daring to say anything.

Lynn asked, “Why aren’t you sowing seeds now?”

The serfs did not raise their heads for fear that they would tarnish the honor of the nobles.

Karis scolded, The lord is asking you something, just say it if you don't want to be hanged.

Then an old man with a thin body and wrinkles on his face raised his head and said in a trembling voice: Sir, it's not that we don't plant, it's that the seeds won't grow at all if they are planted.

He crawled forward on his knees until he reached the farmland. He stretched out his chapped hands to dig into the soil, and a large number of insects and unrotted wheat straw were turned up.

Insects were constantly squirming on the ground, and there were so many of them that it was quite disgusting to look at.

This land has been polluted by monsters, and there are a lot of bugs. No matter what you plant, they won't survive. The old man explained.

Linn frowned. He knew why the smell here was so familiar. He squatted down and reached out to dig in the soil.

Karis quickly shouted: Master, don't touch it, it's dirty.

Before he finished speaking, Linn had already dug up a small piece of soil. It was just a palm's worth of soil, but there were at least dozens of insects.

Linn threw away the bugs in his hands and understood the problem. This matter was very familiar to him. He had encountered similar situations before when he farmed with his parents.

Just when he was about to say how to deal with it, he heard a voice.

Sir, why did you come to this polluted land?

Rafe, who was as big as a wine barrel, ran over panting, with a worried look on his face, and said out of breath: You are a noble, you must not be affected by this place.

Why do you say that? Linn became interested.

Rafe took a few breaths and said, This field was previously polluted by monsters. Not only were crops unable to grow on it, but anyone who came into contact with the land would be cursed and would develop strange diseases for no reason. Several serfs were already affected. died.

The serfs kneeling on the ground nodded wildly.

Hearing this, Karis immediately became nervous, Master, let's go back to the castle quickly and let the adults take a look at it for you. This is a curse.

He not only cares about the young master, but also cares about himself. Curses are the most terrifying kind of magic. I heard that people who are struck by it are extremely miserable and die in pain. He still wants to return to the castle.

Lin En was unmoved and instead asked, What kind of strange disease?

Raf paused and said hesitantly: There seem to be a lot of weird lines on the body. I was afraid that it would be contagious, so I burned all these people. You won't touch the soil.

He knelt down and said, Sir, for the sake of your health, it's best to go back and take a look. I believe that with your status, you can definitely remove the curse.

Is this the pattern you're talking about? Linn pointed at a serf.

The others immediately looked over and discovered that there were red lines on his neck, which were usually not easy to see, but they were exposed because he was kneeling.

The servants exclaimed, while Karis persuaded again.

After Raf saw it, he jumped up in fear and was more agile than a rabbit.

Rafe immediately realized that the Lord was still there and knelt down again.

The serfs were trembling, and they wanted to escape, but they knew that any movement they made would be regarded as disrespectful to the nobles, and this was a crime punishable by hanging.

As for the serf pointed out by Lin En, he was in a panic, his body was shaking like a sieve, and he didn't dare to speak. A smell filled the air, and he was frightened to the point of peeing.

Karis frowned and said seriously: If you do such a disrespectful thing in front of the nobles, you should be hanged on the gallows.

Lin En said: You can actually make him wet his pants in fear. Doesn't it prove the majesty of the nobility?

Karis was speechless and wanted to refute, but he didn't know what to say for a moment, and he felt that this sentence seemed right.

Linn looked at the serf and said, I'll give you a chance to explain. Say it. No matter what, I won't kill you.

The Lord Lord said so, and the serf said with a cry: I just feel that my neck is very itchy. I don't know if it is a curse.

This is the curse! Rafe suddenly spoke, with a fearful expression on his face, Sir, please leave here and don't be contaminated by the curse.

Nonsense, do you know the price of twisting the facts? Linn angrily yelled in vain.

Rafe was immediately startled, and subconsciously stretched out his hand to hold his waist. As if he had realized something, he lay tightly on the ground and did not dare to speak.

Lin En said: The lines on his neck are obviously blood marks from scratching. He did this because of itching, but you said he was contaminated with a curse and deceived the nobles. You should be hanged!

When they were describing the lines, Linn really thought there was a curse here. Only after looking at the blood marks on the serf's neck did he understand the root cause.

These serfs seldom bathe, and their bodies are covered with thick dirt and smelly. In addition, living next to farmland, the bugs will inevitably enter their houses, which of course will cause their bodies to itch and scratch. It doesn't just form weird lines.

Raph lowered his head, wishing there was a big hole in the ground for him to stuff his head into.

Karis looked hesitant, as if he wanted to say something.

Lin En noticed his expression and took the initiative to say: Are you trying to say that since it's not a curse, why are there so many bugs in this farmland?

Karis nodded, Master, curse is an indescribable energy, we still have to be cautious.

I don't care if there is a curse here. You guys immediately go find firewood and burn this farmland in all directions. Don't miss anything.

Linn added and shouted impassionedly: The flames burn the sins. In front of the noble nobles, no sins can be done wantonly!
