Chapter 3 The Number of Demons (3)

Gregory shouted excitedly: "To approach God with human wisdom? It's simply arrogant!"

Clodis seemed to have expected Gregory's reaction. He took long strides, crossed the sun, moon and stars, and stepped into Gregory's space.

He walked all the way to Gregory and whispered in Gregory's ear: "Gregory, don't you know? Not all of the documents about Yahweh are included in the Old Testament. Some documents seem to have been deliberately

It is excluded from the outside, and is only in the hands of the ancient Abrahamic church. From what I know so far, there are "The Art of Enoch", "The Ascension of Isaiah" and the like."

"Isaiah? The great prophet from more than sixteen hundred years ago?"

The doubts in his heart made Gregory's strength suddenly weaken a lot. The starry sky of Clodis once again swallowed up his little house and surrounded the whole world.

But Gregory's focus was no longer here. He asked Clodis: "Claudius, tell me, where can I find these documents?"

"What? Are you very interested? I heard that it records ways for people to become gods. Do you want to destroy it, or do you want to see the wisdom in it?"

"Wisdom? No - I just want to see how many ridiculous fallacies it is filled with, and then refute it completely!"

"Well, where is it?" Clodis pretended to think. When Gregory was already impatient, he said, "Let me think about it, the one closest to here should be in

In the village of Brizania, a man named Gottfried was a believer in the Ancient Church of Abraham."

Gregory immediately lowered his head and closed his eyes. He was not taking a nap, but sensing the "location" of Brizania Village. Brizania Village was a land that had been missionary, and he could in an instant

Move your "location" from Cologne to the village of Brizania.

However, before he was about to leave, Clodis reached out and grabbed him.

"Those conservative believers don't like our Abrahamic Orthodox Church. If you want to get any secrets out of them, it's best to hide your identity."

"I have my own sense of discretion. As for why you came here to tell me this -" Gregory glanced at Clodis, "When I come back, I will definitely let you explain it clearly."

Brizania Village. This is an inconspicuous small village on the plains. It is no different from most other villages. If it has a little more reputation than other ordinary villages, that is because

Its radish.

The radishes produced in Brizania Village are crisp and refreshing, sweet in the mouth, and can even be eaten as fruit. Unfortunately, there are only about fifty households in Brizania Village, and they cannot produce many radishes a year. Although these radishes taste good,

But it's not a delicacy, and it's not worth the price.

Some businessmen once purchased radish seedlings from the villagers at high prices, hoping to cultivate them on a large scale outside the village. But for some reason, as soon as they left the land of Brizania Village, the radishes became bitter and astringent, and they could only be fed to pigs.

have eaten.

The villagers did not think too much about this. In the eyes of hard-working and simple farmers, radishes are just radishes. The radishes grown at home are more delicious than those in other villages, and being able to sell them for more money is enough to make them proud and make them proud.

Satisfied.

And this village is Ella's current destination.

After intercepting the radish bill made by the Count of Île-de-France as a joke, Ella went around asking about the radish production areas nearby. There were many villages that produced radishes, but most of them were invisible to people. A group of bandits suddenly appeared and asked where the radishes were produced. People

The immediate reaction was only from the village of Brizania.

Valley shrew

"We took advantage of the opportunity when this bill was intercepted by us to buy radishes at a low price. When radishes really become the currency of the Alemannic Federation, the profit will be more than ten times that of the Alemannic Federation. Maybe we can pay off our debts in one fell swoop."

indefinite!"

Of course, Ella also considered whether such a crazy law could be implemented smoothly. But after careful thinking, she came to the conclusion that "even if there is no law, it can be sold as an ordinary carrot."

As a result, her goal shifted from selling goods to purchasing radishes.

"In order to prevent the villagers from running away, we need to surround the village of Brizania first. Then we will secretly ambush until night, wait until the villagers are sleeping, and then launch a surprise attack. When we burst into the village, they will all be killed one by one.

Can’t run away!”

Ella stated her plan to Amy.

"Your Majesty! Are you really here to buy radishes? Are you really here to rob your family?"

Amy complained on the sidelines. However, she had to admit that under the current circumstances, in terms of the number of radishes to acquire, Ella's proposal was the best one.

"I also heard that there is a famous mathematician living in the village of Brizania. I think he may be a member of the Pythagoreans. I want to pay a visit first after arriving in the village of Brizania.

He, Amy, you should hide far away from the village first. You have to keep an eye on these soldiers and don't let them get close to the village until dark!"

The Pythagoreans were the earliest magic society in history and a very mysterious society. They believed that "everything is number", and all members of the society focused on mathematical research, and it is said that their magic system was also based on numbers.

superior.

"Your Majesty, don't you think about your own safety at this time?"

"It's just a small village, what danger can there be?"

Even the soldiers spoke to Ella on the side: "It doesn't matter, this is the brave King of Sweden. Not to mention a small village, even the capital of Alemanni can come and go freely!"

Amy choked for a moment. After a while, she sighed and said, "Understood, Your Majesty. I'll go pick out a gift first for you to take."

Amy knew that the Scipio family had been powerful magicians for generations. As a descendant of Scipio, it was impossible for Ella not to regret that she did not know magic. In fact, Ella had been begging Amy to teach her magic.

, but no matter how hard Amy tried to teach, Ella couldn't learn it.

Ella has little respect for God, which is probably why she doesn't know magic. But if it's Pythagorean magic based on numbers... maybe her Majesty can really learn it.

Amy took out a jar of honey from the goods for Ella. If sold in the world, its value would be around three nomisms, equivalent to a farmer's two years' income. Considering that the other party may become Ella

For a magic tutor, a gift of this value is absolutely necessary.

However, Ella was not satisfied with such a gift. She rummaged through the goods and took out a large fur coat. Its price was about fifteen nommes, which was the income of an ordinary farmer in ten years.

After having the soldiers ambush far away from the village as planned, Ella walked into the village of Brizania with furs and honey in her hands. She did not let any soldiers accompany her because she understood that these soldiers who were pirates were

What kind of virtue did she have? She didn't let Amy follow her because only Amy could control the soldiers after she left.

In Ella's mind, the Pythagoreans were probably her last chance to learn magic, and she hoped to treat this meeting more seriously.
