Chapter 686: Change

In the year of the advent of demons, along with the war with demons, the first divinities appeared in the human world.

They can turn into demons, draw power from killing and blood, and of course, the fastest way to do this is to kill each other.

The most important thing is that the divinity gives them enough ability to disguise, and they are usually completely mortal images, as long as they don't take the initiative to show it, even the priest's divine skills can't be distinguished, unless they are carefully examined by the legendary priest, or enter the realm of the true god!

As more and more infected people appeared, the Church of the Reaper, which carried out the 'purification order', became the target of public criticism, and had to voluntarily withdraw the staff of the Inquisition.

After all, the infection rate of demonic disease is too high, and there is no effective and convenient means of protection and treatment, if it is really implemented, no soldiers will be willing to go to war in the future.

This is also one of the characteristics of the source force, the terrible contagion, and the almost irreversible irreversibility.

Of course, the demonization process created by the combination of secondary source power and demon placenta is not impossible to alleviate, at least the divine power of the true god can definitely be expelled, but there is a problem of efficiency and cost.

Even for the most ordinary soldier to 'exorcise', it requires the intervention of a priest at the bishop level, and looking at the number of people in the sea of people, if any true god dares to do this, the final result will definitely be beyond his means, and his divine power will be bankrupt.

In addition, the soldiers who have demonization disease just look a little stranger, their minds are still sober, and even the transcendent can take the initiative to suppress these anomalies, which is no different from normal people, and they are gradually accepted by the world, and they no longer deliberately shout and kill.

Of course, in the various churches, although the monitoring of this demonic disease has been relaxed, the supervision of the divine has been greatly strengthened, and once discovered, it must be arrested and burned at the stake, which is the unanimous decision of the true gods!

As a result, the hidden dangers of the divinity became more hidden, and the contradictions between them and the gods of the church also accumulated more and more.

……

Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, the year 2670 of the solar god calendar has passed, and four years have passed since the day of the evil star.

Duchy of Stan, Storm Hills.

Fang Yuan's incarnated knight of Lune rode a horse and patrolled back and forth in the territory.

Four years has not allowed his body to age, but has become much more mature and attractive.

At this time, as far as the eye can see, the grain in the territory grows, the breeze blows, the golden wheat waves roll, and the dock fort not far away is faintly visible.

Of course, this is Fang Yuan's design, to gather the originally scattered serfs, unified management, build a high wall around it, and have a watchtower in the middle, once something happens, you can immediately raise an alarm and let the serfs retreat into the dock fort to defend.

The appearance of such trenches and high walls suddenly made the originally splendid pastoral scenery full of war and fighting.

But there is no way, in order to deal with a possible demon attack, this is a necessary measure, and it has been learned by many nearby lords, and continues to spread among the principalities of Stan.

"I'm relieved to see that this year's harvest is okay!"

Fang Yuan stopped on a hill, overlooking the wheat field, and couldn't help but smile.

"Yes, my lord, after the land inspection, after merging Storm Hills and Whistling Manor, we have two thousand acres of arable land, and five hundred acres of slope fields!"

For hilly land, Fang Yuan naturally will not abandon the wasteland, but try to use it as much as possible, and reclaim what can be cultivated, it is really not possible, and you can also plant fruit trees and the like.

2,500 acres of land, converted into 15,000 acres in ancient China, can be regarded as a powerful landlord with 10,000 acres of land.

After a little estimate, Fang Yuan knew that this year's territory was a bumper harvest, and there could be a crop harvest of nearly two million catties, which was the result of his means of increasing production, but unfortunately it was still troublesome to promote, and it couldn't be too attention-grabbing, but if there were no natural or man-made disasters in the coming year, he would definitely be able to harvest more.

This kind of production, if it is full, is enough to raise 5,000 people.

But in fact, in the current territory, there are only about 3,000 people, and there is a standing army of 300 people, which can be called a desperate army.

But in the wartime years, this is the only way.

In fact, compared to other knights and even viscounts, the people under Fang Yuan's command were already very happy.

At the very least, there is a safe dock to live in, and if a demon is discovered, the Knights of Rune will immediately go with an army to deal with it.

In the heart of the continent, in several human empires, the demonic plague is very violent, and it is said that several kingdoms have been destroyed, and many nobles and royal families have to flee.

On the contrary, in areas such as the Principality of Stan, because it is located on the edge of human civilization, there are few people and a wide area, and the situation of the demon disaster is not too serious.

"It's just...... Such a good day will finally come to an end! ”

Although there were still various reports from Marseille in his ears, Fang Yuan couldn't help but sigh.

Four years have passed, and after paying a huge price, the world has gradually adapted to the demonic disaster, and many things and contradictions that had been delayed before have also surfaced on the surface.

For example, the collapse of many core kingdoms of human civilization has caused a large amount of power to spread to the periphery.

Even the original Kingdom of Notte has been coveted by a lot.

Although in the eyes of the previous central nobles, the Kingdom of Nott can only be regarded as a poor country, and the Duchy of Stan is a barbaric land that is not even a poor country at all, but it can't stand the fact that it is not affected by demons here!

At this time, without discrimination, these original 'wild places' have become paradises.

There are quite a few nobles who plan to get a few pieces of land here, and even move the entire family here.

For the indigenous aristocracy, this is naturally a catastrophe, even for the country - the size of the Kingdom of Ennot, which could not stop the invasion and control of many originally land powers, has almost become a semi-puppet regime at this time.

Although under the threat of demons, there is still deceit and power in the human kingdom, how to look like death, but things still happen, and it is helpless.

And after the Kingdom of Nott was controlled, the former 'Principality of Stan Raiders' was about to be activated again.

And this time, it's definitely not a petty fight, but a battle of life and death!

"What's even more tragic is that even at this time, the nobles in the Principality of Stan are still in chaos and infighting...... Or do they actually know about the impending danger, but they choose an ostrich-like way of escaping, thinking that they can get away by burying their heads in the sand and pretending not to know anything? ”

Sighing silently, Fang Yuan returned to the dock fort.

"Your Excellency is back!"

A noble lady in a loose robe, supported by several maids, stepped forward to greet her with a smile.

This is Tanya, the daughter of Baron Shawshank and the current wife of Knight Rune.

At this point, her lower abdomen bulged, and it was clear that a new life had been conceived in it.

For a feudal lord, this is undoubtedly the most important, with descendants, his subordinates have the object of continued loyalty, and the relationship between the feudal lord and the vassal can be maintained, and even passed on for thousands of years.

At least, Fang Yuan felt that after he got married, and even after Tanya became pregnant, his subordinates became more diligent and willing to behave.

If you change it to data, it is probably that loyalty has risen by a few percentage points.

"Well, you've worked hard!"

The way of the saint is to move with the world, and he is not tired of love.

Fang Yuan showed a gentle smile on his face, and stepped forward to help Tanya: "How are you feeling today?" ”

"Good!"

Tanya smiled, her face almost filled with a smile.

Fang Yuan was not from this world after all, and he was also very considerate and respectful of women, and that feeling suddenly made this noble girl full of happiness, especially after comparing it with other nobles.

In fact, she didn't know that Fang Yuan at this time was just trying his best to play the identity of a knight of Rune.

It's like a god coming to the mortal world, and the love in the mortal world can only stay in the mortal world after all, and once the life passes, it will pass.

After having dinner with Madame Sir and having a conversation with her, Fang Yuan went to the study and began to deal with the day's official business.

Gals, Marseille and several other henchmen stood respectfully and waited.

"That relative of mine, the current Baron Shawshank, sent me an invitation!"

Fang Yuan quickly reviewed the documents and saw the final invitation: "He is about to hold a wedding, Marseille, you go down and prepare a gift!" ”

That Timo picked up a title for nothing, but the power of the barony has always been in the hands of the original baroness.

But now, she has to hand it over, after all, it is said that her health is getting worse and worse, besides, no matter what, after marriage, it is a sign of a man's adulthood, and the baroness has no excuse to resist.

"It's this lady of Teemo, it's very interesting!"

Fang Yuan thought of more.

Originally, according to Teemo's identity, he could marry the daughter of a baron or a viscount, and the Earl and Marquis were a bit high.

But in the invitation, it was explained that his new lady was actually the daughter of Duke Stan!

The smell of politics and shady trading in this can be clearly smelled even by the uninitiated.

Or ...... Will there be upheaval in the Principality of Stan? ”

Fang Yuan watched coldly, how did he think there was something wrong with this marriage.

Of course, he has been in this world for more than four years, and even if he only farms as a knight of Rune, he does not do nothing.

Soon, an up-to-date piece of information came to him, and he was lost in thought.

"The Church of the Grim Reaper headquarters moved? The direction is undecided, and it is very likely that it is the location of the principality of Nott and Stan, which is ...... Where do you start? ”

Obviously, because of the previous purification order, the Church of the Death has been severely hit and hostile, and Hess is seriously injured and sleeping, the situation is not optimistic.

Even, it has degenerated from the previous super-first-class force in the mainland to a second- or third-rate, and it can't fight against the demons in the mainland, so it can only move out, and it looks like it's about to hit the street.
