Chapter 2 The Witch Anna (1)
In the following time, he locked himself in the room and recalled the world carefully. The dinner was sent directly by the servants.
With the strong idea of wanting to survive, Roland suppressed his fear and discomfort towards unfamiliar environments after traveling through time. He knew very well that mastering more information as soon as possible could reduce the risk of exposure.
It has to be said that the Fourth Prince had nothing else in his mind except to fool around with the group of young men. Roland went over and over again and again without recalling any valuable information - such as aristocratic experiences, political situations, diplomacy of neighboring countries. As for some basic common sense, such as city names and major events, he could not connect with the European history he knew.
It seems that this person is definitely not able to get the throne. Perhaps the King of Gray Castle also knows this and throws him into such a ghost place - even if he lets his mind do whatever he wants, there will be no great damage.
And those brothers and sisters... Roland thought about it for a moment and was left with only laughter and cry.
The eldest brother has high force, the second brother is very sinister, the third sister is so fierce, and the fifth sister is too smart. This is the impression left by the fourth prince before. What should he say? After more than ten years of getting along, the final impression was summarized in just a few short words. I don’t know what forces they have cultivated, who are their subordinates, and what they are good at doing.
It was only three months after I arrived in Bianfeng Town, and the nobles here no longer concealed their contempt. It can be seen that the fourth prince was indeed not a leader. Fortunately, when he left the royal city, Wimbledon III also provided one civil and one martial artist to help him, otherwise it would be a shame.
The next morning, the maid Tyr reminded Roland repeatedly that the minister's assistant wanted to see him. It seemed that he could not drag him any longer. He touched the maid's butt according to the usual practice in his memory and asked her to inform Barov to go to the living room to wait.
Seeing Tyre walking out the door with a red face, Roland suddenly remembered that since he was farming, would there be a system or something? He yawned and silently recited the system in his mind dozens of times, but nothing happened.
As expected, novels are all deceitful.
************************
Barov, who was waiting in the living room, had already been restless. As soon as he saw Roland appear, he came forward, "Your Highness, why didn't he order the execution of hanging yesterday?"
"What does it matter if it's going to be early or late," Roland clapped his hands and ordered the servants to serve breakfast, "Sit down and say slowly."
It seems to match the impression in memory. He thought that the Chief Knight always likes to question it in person when encountering problems, while the assistant minister would explain it to himself privately. In any case, the two of them were still reliable in their loyalty to themselves - although it is very likely for the sake of the king.
"One day later may attract other witches, Your Highness! This is different from those little things before, so you can't just do whatever you want!"
"Why do you even say this?" Roland asked with a frown. "I thought you could distinguish rumors from facts."
Barov looked confused, "What rumors?"
"Evil witches, the devil's messenger," Roland said disapprovingly, "Isn't this all the propaganda of the church? I think it's better to be the opposite if they don't interfere here. They promote witches as evil, so we don't hunt witches, and we also want to preach to the people of the territory these are shameless rumors spread by the church."
Barov was stunned, "Ko... But the witch is indeed..."
"It's indeed evil?" Roland asked, "For example?"
The assistant minister was silent for a moment, as if he was wondering whether the prince was deliberately trying to make fun of him. "Your Highness, this kind of issue can be discussed later. I know you don't like the church, but this way of resistance will only backfire."
It seems that reversing the inherent concepts cannot be done overnight. Roland curled his lips, but did not continue to care about this.
At this time, breakfast was set on the table, a plate of fried bread, a plate of fried eggs, and a can of milk. He first filled a cup of the minister's assistant and pushed it to the other party.
"Have you eaten yet? You're talking while eating." According to the maid, Barov rushed outside the palace to ask for a meeting at dawn. He probably hadn't eaten yet. Although he decided to imitate the way the fourth princes acted first, the change had to start a little bit. The assistant minister was a good goal. He thought that if you think that you value them, they would be more motivated to serve you.
Subjective initiative has always been the most efficient, right?
Barov took the cup but did not drink it. He said anxiously, "Your Highness, we are in trouble. Three days ago, the guards reported that a camp suspected of witches was found in the forest in the west. They walked in a hurry and did not clear the remaining traces. The guards found this in the camp."
He took out a coin from his arms and put it in front of Roland.
It was not a common currency, at least in Roland's memory, he had never seen such a currency-it was not even like a metal product.
Holding it in his hand, he was surprised to find that this thing was heating up, definitely not the residual heat of the minister's assistant, the heat was at least over forty degrees. This moment reminded him of the warm baby.
"What's this?"
"I thought it was just a evil thing made by some witch, but things were even worse than I thought," Barov wiped his forehead. "The pattern on it... is the seal of the Holy Mountain and the Demon Eyes, which is the emblem of the Witch Co-support Association."
Roland rubbed the uneven surface of the coin and guessed that it was probably made of ceramic. The center of the coin was indeed carved with a "mountain" pattern - three triangles paralleled, and an eye was in the center of the triangle. The outline of the pattern was very rough and should have been hand-polished.
He recalled the two terms "Holy Mountain and Demon Eye" and "Witch Co-support Association" and did not find any relevant information. It seems that the points added by the Four Princes in the mystery are zero.
Barov didn't expect Roland to know, and he continued, "Your Highness, you have never seen a real witch, so you don't agree with them. Indeed, they will be injured and bleeding, which is not harder than ordinary people to kill, but they are witches who cannot resist. The witches who receive the devil's insemination will have a very short lifespan, but they will also gain terrible power, which ordinary people cannot match. Once the witches become adults, even the army will pay a heavy price. Their desires are almost uncontrollable, and they will eventually fall into the devil's minions."
"The church has therefore formed a judgment army. If a woman is found to be a witch, she can be arrested and executed. The king also agrees with this matter. In fact, these measures are effective. There are much fewer witch rampant incidents than a hundred years ago. The rumors about the Holy Mountain, or the Gate of Hell, are from ancient books of that era."
Roland gnawed the bread with his mouth, sneering in his heart. Although the background of this world is very different from what he knows, the historical development trajectory is still surprisingly similar. The church, and it is also the church, he knew that religion is the devil's minion and the real source of sin. If you find signs, you can die? In the name of God, you will combine law, arrest, judgment, and punishment, which is itself a kind of depravity. The prince's memory of the abuse of power also verifies his own view.
"The ancient books record that only when witches go to the Holy Mountain can they obtain true peace. There is no backlash of magic, nor will they be trapped by the rising desires. There is no doubt that the so-called holy mountain in the book must be the birthplace of evil and the entrance to hell on earth. I think only hell will not punish these fallen people."
"What about the witches' co-support association? What does it have to do with Holy Mountain?"
