Seeing Rudolph waiting at the intersection early, Steward Nairn's mood was strange for a moment, but he quickly adjusted it: "Mr. Rudolph, I asked the dockyard, and when you come back, the Bauhinia will be completed."
Modification.”
Rudolf felt that given Nairn's age and the kindness of saving Rudolf's life, there was no need to use honorifics like "you". Maybe it was because he was a little moved to see Rudolf being so proactive and waiting at the intersection early.
Bar···
"It doesn't matter. Master Kedrick's safety is the most important. It's okay for the Bauhinia to leave a few days later."
Only Cedric really didn't want Rudolph to leave: "Mr. Rudolph, I hope you can stay in the manor for a few more days, so that I can ask you many things. Oh, by the way, Ursula didn't come with her.
There are still many questions she wants to ask you, and before she left, she even listed a piece of paper full of wizard questions."
Butler Nairn looked at Kedric with satisfaction, hoping that Kedric could let the wizard stay for a few more days.
Several people left the dock and the city of Navier on horseback. Nairn's clipper left the port of Navier in advance to prepare the manor to welcome the young master.
"Mr. Rudolph, our destination is the Golden Anchor Family Doc Manor. Doc Manor has 30,000 acres of grape plantations and is one of the top ten wine estates in the Southern Continent."
When the numerical value reaches a certain level, it is difficult to establish an intuitive impression of the numerical value. A plantation of 30,000 acres sounds very large, and is so large that it exceeds most people's imagination.
Doc Manor is not far from the city of Navier. If you ride a horse, you can reach Doc Manor in four days.
Rudolph saw very few people along the way. The population density of the southern continent was not very high, and there were more plantations.
The large and small tributaries on both sides of the Suluo River belong to the sphere of influence of the Oblivion Church. The Suluo River and its tributaries have nurtured many surrounding farmlands.
While passing through a town, Rudolf said: "While I have a rest tonight, I want to see the customs and customs of the Southern Continent. Butler Nairn, do you have any suggestions? Is there anything I need to pay attention to in advance?"
"Hmm..." Steward Nairn was thinking. He didn't want to be troublesome. He just wanted to reach Doc Manor as soon as possible. However, he did not restrain Rudolph: "My suggestion is, don't be captured by the church and become the Lord of Nothingness.
believers."
"This is absolutely impossible. I am an atheist and I believe in my own abilities. In the myths of more than two thousand years ago, wasn't Emperor Alek capable of killing gods? This proves that gods are not terrible."
Steward Nairn shook his head: "Don't underestimate each church. Their preaching methods have been practiced and improved for thousands of years and are very efficient. Maybe after something happens, your mentality changes, and you will become a god of nothingness from now on."
Believers of the Lord, the best way is to avoid priests and avoid their preaching."
"I am a wizard and cannot become a priest. Can I still believe in the Lord of Nothingness?"
"Priests are clergy who shepherd sheep in place of the evil god. You cannot become a priest, but you can become a fanatical believer who has made great contributions to the church. Once other apostles believe in the evil god, they will be cared for by the church. Sooner or later, they will become fanatics and devote themselves wholeheartedly to the church.
Apostolic power.”
Seeing Rudolph's indifferent expression, Butler Nairn said nothing more.
Rudolf really didn't worry about which evil god he would believe in. He was a staunch materialist atheist. However, when he thought about it, there was nothing 'materialistic' about time travel. Perhaps only the Almighty God could allow a person to time travel.
After settling down in the evening, Rudolf left the tavern and wandered around the town. Ten minutes after walking out, he found that Kedric had followed him.
"I don't want to be restricted by the housekeeper all the time, and I also want to know what's going on here."
Before his sixteenth-year-old coming-of-age ceremony, Kedrick didn't want to go back to the Northern Continent. Anyway, he was just waiting everywhere. It was better to stay here, away from the castle, and be more free.
The two of them walked towards the center of the town together. If they wanted to observe the operation here, the best way would be to find the core of the town's operation, the church of the Oblivion Church.
Just like what we saw in Port Navier, the church of the Oblivion Church is not a building, but a circle of stone pillars.
There is a circular altar on the nine steps. Surrounding the altar are twelve stone pillars. These stone pillars are all selected from stone pillars in the wild. They have natural outlines many times and have a rough beauty. The priest carved on the stone pillars
Various oracles from the Lord of Nothingness.
When the bright moon rises, all the lights around the Stone Pillar Array are extinguished, and groups of believers walk out of the streets and alleys toward the Stone Pillar Array Square.
There are many children in the crowd. The people here have been indoctrinated into the teachings of the Oblivion Church since they were young, and have devoted their faith to the Lord of Nothingness since they were young.
Rudolf felt a little uncomfortable about children joining the church. When these children had no ability to discern, they were influenced by the people around them and ignorantly took everything they saw for granted. It was natural that grandpa should believe in the Lord of Nothingness.
, parents should naturally believe in the Lord of Nothingness, and everyone in the brothers, sisters, and family should naturally believe in the Lord of Nothingness.
Rudolf and Kedric retreated to the distance, hiding in the shadows in the distance. There were people kneeling around the pillar square, and it would have been strange for the two of them not to kneel.
Two sacrifices were sent to the stone pillar formation, which were two naked men and women. The Lord of Nothingness believes that people come naked and should leave naked. Everything a person experiences in this life is nothingness, and the ultimate development of all things is
Nirvana.
People are always impressed by the refinement and profundity of oracles. However, people may not need to live so profoundly. If they all act according to the oracles, everything will become too cold.
For example, now, black and unknown smoke is rising from the top of each stone pillar. The smoke slowly moves toward the center, eventually forming a vortex.
The black smoke vortex is said to be the realm of silence created by the Lord of Nothingness. The two naked sacrifices slowly floated up and disappeared little by little into the black vortex of silence.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Rudolph's level 4 wolf boy gave him very good eyesight. After the heads of the two people disappeared, they saw tiny twitches in their limbs.
It is a precursor to death.
The believers around the stone pillar array raised their heads and saluted the whirlpool of smoke. The dark and deep whirlpool was a miracle performed by the great Lord of Nothingness.
"Let's go, don't stay here."
Rudolf has already noticed that Nairn cannot stay here for long.
As the level increases, you feel more and more the pressure from the evil god. The evil god is unknown where he is, but he can use his divine power to affect this remote town. This ability is so powerful that it is unimaginable. The evil god can also do this
Staring directly at a certain priest gives the priest extremely powerful magical powers.
Perhaps two thousand years ago, it was in the face of this absolute coercion and in despair that the entire Northern Continent united behind Emperor Alek and declared war on the evil god.
On the way back, Rudolf asked: "Steward Nien, the Mogwen Emperor who lives in the North, is this the reason why the evil gods did not counterattack the Northern Continent?"
"Yes, during the constitutional movement two hundred years ago, Mogwen XI told his people that if he did not retain an empire of knights, the evil gods in the southern continent would build temples again.
, occupying the northern continent. This is also the reason why the Mogwen Empire has existed for the past two hundred years. The Alchemy Councils of the various kingdoms and the United States have a tacit agreement not to take action against the Mogwen Empire. Of course, their actions are not necessarily from the Mogwen Empire.
opponent."
The Mogwen Empire is located in the snowfields and pine forests. The conditions there are difficult. It is said that some knights can be promoted by challenging avalanches. It is the last paradise of knights.
"Our King, Carolingian XVI must become the great emperor. The Kingdom of Elba is the bridgehead against the evil god. Those greedy alchemists only know how to collect money and minerals. They don't understand at all. If the evil god counterattacks the northern continent,
When Emperor Mogwen leads his cavalry south, half of the northern continent will be reduced to ruins."
Both knights and alchemists have reasons to become masters. Knights are born kings, and alchemists bring technology and innovation. They all feel that they are standing on the top of a moral mountain.
When Rudolph saw the Doak Manor... he still had no concept of the size of 30,000 acres. The entire plantation had no boundaries, no end in any direction, and neat rows of grapevines everywhere.
It's not the time for grape picking yet. There are many people working in the vines, whether they are spraying pesticides or pruning them.
"Welcome to Doc Manor! Doc Manor will provide you with unlimited amounts of fine wine!"
The servants of the earl's palace, the knights of the manor, and the earl's vassals here formed a long queue to greet Master Kedrick.
Kedrick was so excited, he liked the feeling of being a master. Before Caleb became the new Earl, he was the son of the Earl and one of the owners here... Hundreds of years ago, the ancestors of the family
He captured and firmly occupied this grape plantation, bringing a huge amount of wealth to the Golden Anchor family.
No matter how powerful Nirn is, he can walk in front of Nirn and enjoy Nirn's services. When his father dies, he will no longer be the owner here. The masters here belong to Kaleb and his son.
After passing a stone-paved road and passing through a large grape plantation, you will soon enter the manor complex.
This is one of the palaces of Count Pallu. When the northern continent enters winter, Count Pallu comes here to spend the winter every year. The seasons in the northern and southern continents are opposite, and the winter in the northern continent is the summer here.
The manor steward and cavalry captain of Doc Manor accompanied them all the way to greet Master Kedrick and the traveling steward Nairn.
Among the earl's many butlers, the most powerful one is the butler Mr. Wenler, followed by itinerant butlers like Nairn, who can supervise and inspect many properties on behalf of the earl. After that are the manor stewards, who manage various properties on behalf of the earl.
What surprised Rudolph was that there were nearly 100 cavalrymen in Doc Manor, which was a complete cavalry company.
Many of these cavalry are formal knights. The knight's armor is very different from the armor of ordinary cavalry. The knight's armor is thicker and more powerful, and there is even an alchemical reinforcement circle on it.
No matter how anxious the war in the northern continent is, Count Pallu keeps an elite cavalry here, which shows how important this grape plantation is. The output here is very amazing, and it is one of the count's core interests.
Another reason is that the Southern Continent is too chaotic and does not have enough strength to deal with the crazy attacks of evil cultists.
The steward of the manor was serving Master Kedrick diligently. They knew about the war in the Northern Continent. They also sent a batch of supplies to the Northern Continent urgently. Now that Master Kedrick suddenly arrived, the steward of the manor was a little unresponsive. Could it be that the Earl was not interested in the war?
The expectations are very pessimistic. Use this method to preserve the bloodline of the Golden Anchor family?
You can only think about such questions in your own mind, but you don't dare to ask the itinerant butler Nairn.
This palace does not look like a castle, but more like a holiday estate. The magnificent buildings are scattered on the hillside, and it is not as tense as the land in the northern continent.
After entering the count's palace, Rudolph once again marveled at the count's wealth. The palace was so gorgeous, much more luxurious than a baron's mansion like Jennifer's. There were sterling silver lighting everywhere, carpets covering every room, and walls.
They are precious master paintings.
Entering the noble's mansion again, Rudolph suddenly thought of Jennifer.
I don’t know how Jennifer is doing in Fabro City, and whether she can deal with those old foxes. I don’t know if there is any head-on conflict between the nobles of the Carolingian Kingdom and the alchemists, and I don’t know if Jennifer will be affected.
The palace arranged a bedroom for Rudolf. It has a wide view and can see the plantations outside to the horizon. Carpets, velvet sofas, silver mirrors, Jennifer's maid outfit... Ahem, I'm thinking too much.
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! In the evening, Kedric knocked on the door and personally invited Rudolph to the dinner.
"Mr. Rudolph, there is a dinner specially prepared for you tonight! Please feel the enthusiasm of Doc Manor!"
Kedric's invitation was so sincere that Rudolph also felt Kedric's happiness.
The war ahead did not affect the palace. Whether it was Kedric, Butler Nairn, or other people in the palace, they all felt that the luxury here was a very normal thing.
The banquet hall was in a building a few hundred meters away, and servants carried the two of them there in a sedan chair. Rudolf did not refuse the service of the servants, and the guests of the nobles were equally distinguished.
In the banquet hall, there was only one long table, with two chairs on the left and right sides of the long table, one for Kedric and one for Rudolph.
Cedric was the host and Rudolf was the guest. Butler Nairn and the manor housekeeper stood aside, serving the two of them.
To be honest, Rudolf was not used to this kind of service. He preferred to do it himself. However, the manor housekeeper took a knife and fork and cut the roast goose for Rudolf.
Pure silver knives and forks shimmered with silver light in the candlelight.
"Mr. Rudolf, please be sure to taste the wine here. The wine from Doc Manor is the tribute wine of the Elba royal family and has a very good taste."
Facing Kedric's warm invitation, Rudolf smiled and took a sip of wine. The mellow aroma in the wine surprised him. Even a person who didn't understand wine could tell that it was a good wine.
After taking a sip, Rudolf held the wine glass and looked carefully at the crystal clear wine in the glass. This precious bright red liquid, obtained after countless labors, was emitting an alluring light in the candlelight.
The wine in the wine glass is rippling in circles, and something seems to be shaking this small water surface. This is Rudolph's vibration detection at work. A wizard's abilities are so diverse, the banquet hall
There were some footsteps outside, and no matter how carefully they landed on the carpet, Rudolf could detect them.
The manor's butler patiently cut the roast goose into rectangular cubes of the same size. Butler Nairn put a white handkerchief on his hand and looked down at the ground. He was the most well-trained and caring butler.
Rudolph raised his head and looked at Kedrick opposite. Kedrick looked proud and was waiting for Rudolph to praise the wine of Doc Manor, which is one of the signatures of the Golden Anchor family.
Before Kedrick noticed anything unusual, a sudden change occurred.
Kedrick did not wait for Rudolph's praise, but instead waited for the cold light of the silver knife!
