Chapter 2: 2. Wicked witch?

For the rest of the time, he locked himself in his room, recalling the world well, and the servants brought dinner directly in.

Under the strong thought of wanting to live, Roland forcibly suppressed the fear and discomfort of the unfamiliar environment after crossing. He is very clear in his heart that getting more information as soon as possible can reduce the risk of exposure.

He had to, the fourth prince had nothing else in his head except fooling around with the group of sons and brothers, and Roland couldn't recall any valuable information - such as the knowledge of the nobles, the political situation, the diplomacy of neighboring countries, and so on. As for some basic common sense, such as city names and the year of major events, he was also unable to connect with the European history he knew.

It seems that this person is absolutely unworthy of the throne. Perhaps the King of Greycastle also knew this, so let him throw him in such a hellish place - even if he acts recklessly, it will not cause too much damage.

And those brothers and sisters... Roland thought about it for a while, and he could only laugh and cry.

The eldest brother is powerful, the second brother is very insidious, the third sister is murderous, and the fifth sister is too smart. This is the impression left by the fourth prince before. What should he do? After more than ten years of getting along, the final impression was summed up in just a few words. They don't know what forces they have cultivated, who their competent subordinates are, and what they are good at.

It's only been three months since they came to Border Town, and the nobles here no longer hide their contempt. It can be seen that the fourth prince is indeed not a leader. Fortunately, when he left the royal city, Wimbledon III also sent two people to assist him, otherwise it would be a smear.

Early the next morning, Tyr, the maid, reminded Roland repeatedly that the assistant minister wanted to see him. It seemed that he couldn't drag it any longer. He touched two maids' butts as he remembered, and told her to tell Barov to wait in the parlour.

Seeing Tyr walking out of the door with a blushing face, Roland suddenly remembered, since it is farming, will it come with a system or something? He yawned and recited the system in his mind dozens of times, but nothing happened.

It's all deceptive indeed.

*****************

Barov, who was waiting in the living room, was already restless. As soon as he saw Roland, he came forward and said, "Your Highness, why didn't you order the execution yesterday?"

"It doesn't matter how sooner or later," Roland clapped his hands and ordered the attendant to serve breakfast, "Sit down and take your time."

It seems to match the impression in his memory, he thought, the chief knight always likes to question face to face when he encounters a problem, while the assistant minister will explain it to himself in private. In any case, the duo's loyalty to themselves is solid - though probably for the king's sake.

"One day later, it may attract other witches, His Royal Highness! This is different from those little things before, and it can't be messed with!"

"Why do you do this too?" Roland frowned and asked, "I thought you could tell the difference between rumors and facts."

Barov looked confused, "What rumor?"

"Evil witch, devil's messenger," Roland said indifferently, "Isn't this all propaganda from the church? If you want them not to interfere here, I think it's better to do the opposite. They propagate witches as evil, We just don't hunt witches, and we have to spread the word to the people in the territory that these are all shameless rumors spread by the church."

Barov was stunned, "But...but the witch is indeed..."

"Really evil?" Roland asked back, "Like?"

The assistant minister was silent for a moment, as if wondering if the prince was deliberately making fun of him, "Your Highness, this kind of issue can be discussed later. I know you don't like the church, but this method of conflict will only be counterproductive."

It seems that it is not something that can be done overnight. Roland pouted, but did not continue to care about this point.

At this time breakfast was on the table, a plate of fried bread, a plate of fried eggs, and a jug of milk. He first poured a glass for the assistant minister and pushed it to him.

"Have you eaten yet? Eat while you're at it." According to the maid's method, Barov rushed outside the palace to see him as soon as the day dawned, and he probably hadn't eaten yet. Although he decided to imitate the fourth prince's way of doing things first, he had to make changes little by little. Assistant ministers would be a good target, he thought, so they would be more motivated to work for you by making them feel that you value them.

Subjectivity is always the most productive, isn't it?

Barov took the cup but didn't drink it. He anxiously said, "Your Highness, we are in trouble. Three days ago, the guards reported that a suspected witch camp was found in the western forest. They walked in a hurry and did not clean up 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 wasn't a common currency, at least in Roland's memory, he had never seen such a currency - it didn't even look like a metal product.

Holding it in his hand, he was surprised to find that this thing was heating up. It was definitely not the residual temperature on the assistant minister's body.

"what is this?"

"I thought it was just an evil thing made by a witch, but the matter is more serious than I thought," Barov wiped his forehead, "The pattern on it... is the seal of the holy mountain and the devil's eye, which is Emblem of the Witches Guild."

Roland rubbed the uneven surface of the coin, guessing that it was probably fired from ceramics. The center of the coin does feature a "mountain" pattern - three triangles juxtaposed with an eye in the center. The outline of the pattern is very rough and should have been polished by hand.

He recalled the terms "Going Down the Holy Mountain" and "Magic Eye" and "Witch Helping Association", but did not find any relevant information. It seems that the fourth prince's addition to the mystery is zero.

Barov didn't expect Roland to know, and he continued, "Your Highness, you have never seen a real witch, so you don't take them seriously. It is true that they can also be injured and bleed, and they are not harder to kill than us ordinary people, but That is a witch who cannot resist. A witch who is inspired by the devil will have a very short lifespan, but will also gain terrifying power that ordinary people cannot match. Once a witch reaches adulthood, even the army will pay a heavy price. Their* *It is almost impossible to restrain, and eventually they all fall into the hands of the devil."

"The church has therefore set up a trial army. If it is found that a woman may be transformed into a witch, it can be arrested and executed. The king also agrees with this. In fact, these measures are very effective, and there have been much fewer witch-infested incidents than a hundred years ago. Holy Mountain, Or the rumors of Hell's Gate are ancient books from that era."

Roland nibbled at the bread, sneering in his heart. Although the background of this world is very different from what I know, the historical trajectories are still strikingly similar. Execution for finding signs? This in itself is a depravity.

"It is recorded in ancient books that witches can only gain real peace by going to the holy mountain. There is no magic backlash. There is no doubt that the so-called holy mountain in the book must be the birthplace of evil and the entrance to hell in the world. I think only Hell will not punish these fallen ones."

"What about the Witches Guild? What does it have to do with the Holy Mountain?"

Barov said with a bitter face, "Before the witches escaped or lived in seclusion, they all acted alone. But the mutual aid society that has appeared in recent years is different. It wants to gather all the witches and find the holy mountain together. For this For this purpose, the people of the mutual aid association will even take the initiative to lure others into becoming witches. Didn’t there have been a mass disappearance of baby girls in Bishuigang a year ago, there are rumors that they did it.”
