Chapter 106 Funeral?

The next morning.

There were many people standing at the gate of the castle, all looking at Linn.

When Lin En saw their appearance, he couldn't help complaining, "What's wrong with you? You just went back, why are you acting like you're in mourning?"

Karis immediately spat, "Ah, you can't say that."

Lynn: "."

It seems that in this regard, no matter which world, there is consistency.

Linn came to Karis and said: "While I am away, the town will be left to you. Make statistics and I have given you the specific plan. Just follow what is written above."

Karis nodded, "Master, don't worry, I have to protect the town even if it means risking my life."

Linn coughed and said, "Don't say that, don't be so exaggerated. Miles has become a knight, and the militia is still there, so there won't be any problems."

He paused, then cast his gaze on Matthew, who was not far away, and walked over, "Do you still remember what you said before? Miles, who was not favored, condensed the seeds of life and became a knight. He changed

After deciding his own destiny, he will embark on a new path from now on.

And you, do you think you still want to continue to degenerate like this and don’t want to seek any change?”

Matthew's face was expressionless and he didn't speak.

Lin En didn't say anything more. He just said, "I hope I can hear your good news when I come back."

He looked around at the others, mounted his horse, and left.

Karis and the others just stared at him until his figure disappeared into the forest.

"Jimmy, when do you think the adults will come back?" Qiansha asked with moist eyes.

Jimmy shook his head, "I don't know either, but I'm sure the adults will come back after handling the matter."

Karis waved his hand, "Okay, don't stay here anymore, let's go and do our own things."

The servants left, and Jack and Miles went to train the militia.

Karis looked into the distance. He didn't know why, but he always felt a little uneasy in his heart. What the Lord told him yesterday was really shocking. It has been a long time since a noble was killed, especially when another earl was involved.

.

He couldn't recognize the emblem that the adults showed him, which family's symbol it was.

When the Lord returns, he needs to develop the town well during this period and cannot let down the Lord's trust.

He noticed that Matthew was staring blankly in front of him. He didn't say anything and was busy with his own affairs. He still needed to make detailed statistics on the people he brought back yesterday.

Matthew murmured: "Change. But I have asked people from many churches to treat me, but they are of no use. Even the natural magic of elves has no effect at all. If you can't see it, it means you can't fight. It's just a human."

Just useless people.

However, that Miles has little potential but became a knight. Can Lynn really make people change?"

He didn't move for a long time and stayed here.

On the road, a horse passed quickly.

Lin En watched the trees around him recede rapidly, feeling a little mixed in his heart. When he first came to Ashes Town, he was still scared and nervous, not knowing what would happen or who he would meet.

But now, he has become a powerful knight, masters many combat skills, and has changed the town of Ashes and put the town on the road of development.

For him, Ash Town is his home, and his status in that cold Earl's Castle is just a passerby after all.

He stopped and took out a piece of parchment with a map drawn on it. This was drawn by the townspeople of Riverbend Town. It was not very accurate because they had never been to Ashes Town.

After figuring out the direction, Linn set off again.

The water in the wide Sangheili River flows slowly, and there are many women on the riverside beating their clothes with clothes-beating sticks.

From time to time, they raised their heads to look at the boats floating on the water, and waved their hands to say hello.

A large city stands on the river, with bridges spanning both sides, connecting the two sides of the river.

The streets were filled with the sounds of hawking, shop doors opened, and apprentices began their busy day.

A horse was walking on the street, and pedestrians along the road were trying to avoid it.

Lin En looked around. He used to live in the castle most of the time, but he would sneak out whenever he had time. In his opinion, this lively place was much better than the castle.

He took a long detour to Hebend Town, which was in ruins, but did not find anyone.

Freshly baked white bread was placed in the house, and the aroma spread, and soon people came to buy it.

Exquisite textiles are hung on the walls, waiting for customers to arrive.

Tall buildings stand in clusters, forming a residential community.

The city's economy under the count's rule was prosperous and developed. A large number of merchants sold goods here, and caravans could be seen everywhere. While they brought goods to the city, they also had to pay taxes and fees.

The city of Aulis, named after the nobles of Aulis, has been here for hundreds of years and is also known as the Pearl of the River.

Every free citizen yearns for this place, and if they have the ability, they will move here.

Even ordinary civilians can find some jobs here to support themselves and their families.

This is the importance of a city's reputation. There is no need to deliberately promote it, and a large number of people will come.

Lin En's eyes narrowed and he saw a church being built not far away.

This is a strange thing. The Kingdom of Kais has an unfriendly attitude towards the church. Although the church is allowed to exist, it cannot build a large number of church buildings. As the earl of the kingdom, the Aulis nobles naturally strictly abide by this point.

But now it has changed, and the church is located in a conspicuous place like a city avenue.

Linn didn't quite understand, could it be that the relationship between the Kingdom of Kais and the church had eased during his absence.

"Did you hear that a nobleman died?"

"Ah, who was it? When did it happen?"

The two men in front were discussing in a low voice. They didn't know that a nobleman was listening not far away.

"Baron Phoenix, the earl's son, is the news that came back two days ago."

"It's true or not, the noble Lord is still dead. Is he suffering from some disease?"

"I don't know, but it seems like he was killed."

"Don't talk nonsense here. If you discuss the life and death of nobles casually, you will be hanged."

"One of my sisters works as a servant in the castle. She said it seems that she is preparing for a funeral these days."

"Oh God, it's actually true."

He wanted to continue asking, looked around, and found a man on a horse paying attention not far away. He quickly said: "Stop discussing this, let's talk about why the church was suddenly built."

Linn left with a puzzled expression on his face. Before heading to the castle, he encountered things that made him even more puzzled.

Phoenix is ​​dead. Logically speaking, the news should not have reached here so quickly.

Riverbend Town is located far away from Orlis City. It is similar to Ember Town in that it is a remote place, but it is a plain and there is no threat from monsters.

Now that information circulation is underdeveloped, it often takes many days for something to reach here. What's more, there are no knights around Phoenix, and those ordinary civilians are not qualified to report the news here. Who could tell it?

It was clearly daytime, but in Lin En's eyes, the city seemed to be shrouded in fog.

He slapped his horse and headed towards the castle.

The grand and majestic castle stands high, with large bricks and stones piled up layer upon layer, covered with mottled marks of time and carrying the weight of history.

The construction of a castle for every family is a top priority, because it not only represents status, but also has defensive functionality.

Linn looked up. There were many guarding knights standing on the high tower of the castle. Each of them was a specially trained formal knight. They were loyal to the Aulis family and would never betray.

After verifying Linn's identity, the door to the castle opened and he walked inside.

After being away for so long, Lin En came back again, and what he saw made his pupils shrink suddenly.

The decoration in the castle is the preparation ceremony for the funeral, and everyone is busy.

He stood here, feeling out of place.

"Master, you are back."

An old butler walked over from the side. It was Galvin, the old butler in the Earl's castle. His face was expressionless, but his eyes were full of exhaustion.

Lin En nodded and asked, "What's going on?"

He did not tell what he knew because it was too unbelievable.

"Master Phoenix was killed by the Dark Cult. Just a few days ago, news came from the knights in Riverside Town." The old butler replied with a sad tone.

"What!" Linn was shocked.

It's not just about the dark cultists, the key is the knights.

Is there a knight protecting Phoenix?

He suddenly thought of Jack and Miles, and cursed himself in his heart, because they were just knights' retinues, and they also brought a disabled knight, which made him ignore this matter.

The earl suddenly realized his conscience and sent a formal knight carrying a large amount of gold coins and supplies to his children.

But in this case, the problem becomes more serious. The lone wolf is not very strong, and even the knights sent there are of average strength, but with the retinue, there is no problem in escorting Phoenix to escape.

"Master, I know you are sad."

Linn interrupted him, "Where is the knight?"

"He was cursed and managed to get to the city. When he realized that he was about to die, he told the people on the street and asked them to report to the castle."

"Is he dead?" Lynn asked.

Galvin nodded and looked at Lin En with a trace of doubt in his eyes, "Master, do you have something to say?"
