Tribulation of Mysteries - Chapter 37

[Chapter 37 Iman]

Blackstone Manor.

“Olivia can’t get out of the car. As a person blessed by God, her car door is welded shut…”

With a smile, Aaron woke up.

He watched Olivia go from wavering to determined, and he also planned to assist Lin in developing the ‘Light of Redemption’.

Moreover, after returning to the ‘Headquarters’, he held a thank you ceremony to himself and sacrificed a little bit of the spirituality and secret transmission of ‘Chrysalis’.

“‘Chrysalis’ is life and change…At the same time, it also has the characteristics of immutability.”

Aaron looked at his skin, and with a slight thought, he felt that every hair on his skin became extremely sensitive, and could even capture The subtle gas flow in the air is used to determine the movement of various objects within a certain range.

“In addition, using the characteristics of ‘Chrysalis’, it should be possible to harden the skin within a certain range…gain defensive power.”

“Of course, close range musket shooting cannot be defended at low stages…but Ollie Wei was beaten so many times at close range and didn’t die. She was only seriously injured, which is enough to prove the problem. Her defense is not bad!”

He looked at his palm and found that there were translucent hairs between his fingers. –silk?

“I’m…Spider Man!”

Aaron growled. As soon as he raised his hand, a silk thread shot out and stuck to the clothes on the hanger. He pulled hard.

Snapped!

The thread is broken…

broken…

broken…

“After all, in the dream world, I am just a mortal who has just begun to awaken to spirituality. If I want to cut monsters with silk thread like Olivia, there is still a long way to go. There is a journey to be walked…”

A wry smile appeared at the corner of Aaron’s mouth: “And… the spirituality of ‘Chrysalis’ is also constantly dissipating. I even doubt that even if you use rituals to advance and fix the path in reality, you will still be beaten. Fall down…”

“This world is so depressing…”

After he sighed, he regained his composure not long after, summoning the maid Dai Li to come in, serve and dress him, and then ask about today’s schedule during breakfast.

Basically, as a noble in this era, daily life is very leisurely. It is normal to do nothing all day long and hang out in hunting and banquets.

Occasionally, as a lord, he patrols the territory, or plays the role of a chief judge and handles disputes among the people in the territory, as a pastime.

Compared to other lords, Aaron should be considered a more diligent one.

At this time, the fat bachelor Albert, who was wearing a gray bachelor’s robe, said: “Lord Baron, you have a visitor today, the Knight Iman of the Emerald Territory…”

He is Aaron’s neighbor and was originally loyal to the Davis family. , later surrendered early in the ‘Black Crow War’ and was able to retain the fiefdom.

Of course, the fiefdom was retained, but this time Theodore’s title was released, and he did not have a share.

“Is it the season to visit friends?”

Aaron murmured.

“Actually, it should have started a long time ago, but because of the various sequelae caused by the war, especially the various minor commotions in the Upper Green Forest, it has been delayed until now…”

Albert replied softly.

“A bunch of scum, they lost the war, what else do they want?”

Aaron sneered. These opponents included the remnants of the Davis family and the landless nobles.

Unwilling to lose the war, they hid in the mountains and forests and became actual bandits.

Of course, this is a security issue.

Except for the few direct areas under the Sotos family, the rest is left to the lords of each district.

“What’s the reputation of Knight Iman?”

Aaron thought for a while and asked.

These surrenderers and the rebels originally had a good relationship, were closely related by blood, and might even be a family.

There is no guarantee that there will be no cover-up.

In their eyes, it was completely unknown what attitude they would have toward Aaron, a member of the Sothos family, the culprit responsible for the failure of the war, and the occupier who had seized their territory.

“Knight Iman is a benevolent lord, possessing powerful force and good at teaching students. His disciple Mika achieved good results in the last martial arts competition.”

Bachelor Albert said: ” And…he is actively showing goodwill to us. “

So, you think he is a firm defector?”

Aaron said with a playful expression.

“Yes, after all, anyone with knowledge can see that the Green Forest now belongs to the Sotos family. As long as you know how to choose interests, you will not go against this general trend… In other words, go against the general trend…” This powerful person will be crushed to death mercilessly,”

Albert said.

“Then, I’m looking forward to today’s meeting.”

Aaron closed his eyes and could feel Albert’s even breathing and heartbeat. It was obvious that he should have said this sincerely.

‘Is this also the ability of ‘Chrysalis’? I take back my previous judgment. Olivia is a dumber woman than Lin. With such ability, would she be tricked by a group of ordinary people and trust others too much? Or is it that after the ceremony, the spirit is too exhausted to sense these things? ‘

…

At this time, not far from the Blackstone Manor, a convoy was slowly moving forward. The Rangers raised their heads and held a flag with a double-horned ax pattern on it, but the original blue background was replaced by dark green. , represents some kind of change.

In the motorcade, a carriage suddenly opened its curtains, revealing a beautiful girl’s face: “How long will it take to arrive?”

“Dear Miss Monica, please be patient for the time being and wait until the sun rises to the middle. We will definitely get there.”

A knight rode forward and answered the other party’s question softly. He watched the car curtain lowered and the pretty face disappeared. The expression on his face remained unchanged, but he secretly tightened his grip on the reins.

“The black stone collar is ahead. It’s polite to stop and rest and let someone report the news!”

Knight Yiman is a middle-aged man in his forties. Half of his short hair is gray, but he is in good spirits. Shi waved his hand and ordered the convoy to stop.

The group of people stopped to rest, some fed the horses, and some drank water.

The young knight from before walked to the river to get water, looked around, and turned into a bush.

In the shadows, another man dressed as a farmer but with delicate and smooth skin was waiting for him.

“Understand everything!”

The knight spoke first.

“See everything! Mika… I’m glad to meet you. We have always seen your loyalty to the Davis family.”

The man smiled, with aristocratic arrogance still remaining in his tone.

“How is the plan going?”

“It’s not going well. Although Knight Iman sympathizes with the Davis family, he doesn’t seem to want to start another war… He has decided to fully support the Sotos family. This A trip to the Black Stone Territory, with the intention of arranging a marriage for Miss Monica…”

A trace of pain appeared in Mika’s eyes.

“That damn old dog.” The man cursed: “There is also the same damn Aaron Sotos!”

He thought of his previous attempts to incite the Blackstone Territory people to rebel and overthrow the rule of the ‘outsiders’, but failed. It was a shameful failure.

Last winter was originally the best opportunity, but Aaron directly borrowed grain, and then those ignorant servants followed him, and they simply threw their loyalty into the mud!

Then, this year, due to the bumper grain harvest and reduced taxes, those servants did not want to change. They were indeed a bunch of mudbloods who should rot in the mud for the rest of their lives!
