Chapter 263 113 The Earl Is Definitely Fine
Chapter 263 -113- The Earl is definitely fine
It has been a while since I came to Castel.
If you count the months of sleep, Charlotte has been back to the territory for half a year.
In the past six months, the number of her believers has also increased, from about 200 at the beginning to about 700.
To be honest, the growth rate is very slow.
Charlotte has not figured out the purpose of faith and believers, so she has not listed the spread of faith and the development of believers as her main plan at the moment, and therefore, she has not spread her faith on a large scale.
As for the hundreds of believers who have increased, they are all secretly developed by the Blood Wolf Tribe that migrated from Boulder to Castel under the leadership of the werewolf Luf.
Of course, although it is a secret development, Charlotte will occasionally use the power of the Holy Book of Blood to do some things that a "god" should do.
Except for the few months of sleep, she would take time out every week to look at her believers, sometimes listen to the believers' prayers, perform [Divine Blessing] to show "miracles", and grant divine grace...
This is a world with extraordinary things, and gods really exist.
If there is no miracle and benefit, it is difficult to convince people to preach.
However, because the main force of developing believers is the sub-humans of the Blood Wolf Tribe who migrated from Boulder, most of Charlotte's new believers in the past six months are still mainly werewolf miners from the Castel Silver Mine.
It is also fortunate that as one of the cash cows of the Crescent Royal Family, the Castel Silver Mine is protected by the Kingdom Army.
After the rebels launched the rebellion and went south, they did not dare to set foot in the Castel Silver Mine, but only dared to cut off the connection between North Port and the silver mine.
And this made the silver mining area centered on the Silver Mining City a "paradise" in a sense.
Charlotte's hundreds of believers were therefore fortunately not dragged into the war.
Now that the connection between North Port and the mine has been cut off, Charlotte wants to send someone to the Kingdom garrison camp of Castel Silver Mine to inquire about the news. No one is more suitable than her believers in the mithril mining area.
Thinking of this, Charlotte cast her consciousness on the hundreds of light balls representing the believers, and followed the memory of the breath to find the one representing the werewolf Luf.
She lightly tapped and extended her consciousness...
The northeast of Castel Territory, Mining Silver City.
As a famous mithril mining area in West Yunet, Mining Silver City at this moment is much noisier than usual.
In the city, ragged and skinny beggars can be seen almost everywhere in the streets and alleys, and outside the city walls, large and small simple tents are built along the city.
These are refugees who fled here from all over the north as the war spread.
The destruction of order by war is devastating.
The army and mercenaries led by the nobles have no so-called military discipline, and wherever they go, it can be said to be a mess.
Even though the rebellion in Castel was only a local one, the spread of the war still triggered a refugee wave.
As the Castel Mithril Mine, which was protected by the Kingdom Army, naturally became the best place for refugees from the Castel war zone to flee.
In the month after the war broke out, refugees from all directions almost filled the entire Silver City.
Refugees also brought pressure on public security. In order to maintain order, the City Hall of Silver City had to ask for help from the nearby Kingdom Army and sent troops to maintain order.
In this way, it was considered that there was no greater chaos in Silver City.
Outside the Silver City, on the side of the Castel Mine.
Outside a tent with a rough style, skinny refugees lined up in a long line, looking impatiently at the table at the front of the line.
On the table, there was a pile of black bread like a small mountain, and next to the black bread was a huge pottery jar filled with porridge.
Behind the table, several tall and strong werewolves and humans wearing the uniforms of the Castel Mining Workshop Manager were busy distributing food to the refugees in line.
From a distance, one could hear the rough and loud voices of the werewolves who were maintaining order on both sides of the refugee team:
"Don't be anxious! Don't make a mess! Everyone gets a share!"
"Each person can only get one bowl of porridge or a piece of black bread, no more, and no stealing!"
With the maintenance of the werewolf miners who already looked scary and the fully armed Castel guards, although there were many refugees in line, the order on the scene was not disordered at all.
Watching the refugees receive food one after another, and weep with gratitude to the mining workshop that distributes food, and loudly praise the kind Lord Castel, the acting general manager of the mining workshop, Hank de Lien-Castel, showed emotion and said to the tall werewolf miner beside him:
"Mr. Luf, I really want to thank you for your help. Now almost all the guards in the mine have been transferred to the city. If it weren't for you, I'm afraid it would have been a mess long ago."
The werewolf smiled honestly and said:
"Mr. Hank, this is what I should do. Every refugee is a citizen of Castel. As a follower of the Earl, it is my duty to participate in relief."
"This is also what the Earl has always asked. When I was still in Boulder, I had followed the Earl to participate in relief in the slums many times."
Manager Hank also nodded slightly and sighed:
"Yes, the Earl is kind. When she left the mining workshop, she hinted many times that I should deal with the living problems of the poor and miners in Mining Silver City."
"Although refugees often gather in Caiyin City because of its proximity to the Northern Grand Duchy and East Yunite, this is the first time I've seen so many of them. I really hope the rebellion will end soon..."
Luff nodded and said firmly:
"It will definitely end. All those who betrayed the Earl will eventually pay the price!"
Manager Hank sighed:
"Alas, I hope the Earl is safe. Recently, rumors have been rife in the north, and people in the city are also unstable. I don't know what's going on outside."
Luff comforted:
"The Earl is naturally safe. We just need to do what we can and keep an eye on Custer for the Earl. The silver mine is good. With the kingdom's garrison there, those rebels dare not mess around. "
Looking at the confident look of the werewolf miner, Hank's heart moved slightly, and he was very curious:
"Mr. Luf, it sounds like... you seem to know the news of the Earl?"
Luff shook his head and said meaningfully:
"There is no news, but... the Earl is not an ordinary person, but a sacred person walking on the earth, so he must be safe and sound."
After listening to Luf's words, Hank thought for a while and nodded secretly:
"You are right, the Earl is a living saint, even the rebels of the Legris family, I am afraid they dare not offend the gods!"
Luff smiled slightly.
He did not explain that the sacredness he mentioned and the so-called sacredness understood by the other party did not refer to the same thing.
Although the other party was the acting steward appointed by the True Ancestor himself, it was not the time for the other party to know everything.
This ambiguous misunderstanding, just let it be a misunderstanding.
However, although he had faith in the great True Ancestor, even he, the de facto tribal priest, had not received any new oracles for three or four months.
Even though the True Ancestor had predicted it several months ago, as time went by, Luffy became a little uneasy.
"Your Majesty the True Ancestor... Castel has become chaotic. I still follow your oracles and spread your faith in the mining area, but... when will you wake up?"
Luffy sighed in his heart.
However, at this moment, a very familiar feeling suddenly descended on his heart.
A friend recommended a book, "The Strategy Says, I Seem to Be the Lord of the Villains"
Go through the final boss of the first round and start the exciting story of the second round.
