Being a lord in another world begins with farming

Chapter 354 Three years after the big change

"Stop outsiders." The captain of the guard, holding a sword hilt, stared at Owen vigilantly and said. The two guards behind him took a step forward at the same time, forming a half encircling circle. It was obvious from a glance that they had been in actual combat.

"What's the matter?" Owen slowly raised his head, revealing his smooth chin and pink lips, and a mischievous strand of hair slipped from the hood, which made the captain of the guard stare blankly. At the same time, there was something in his heart. A question arises, is this a man or a woman?

"Spellcasters are not welcome in Shilun Town. If you have nothing to do, leave as soon as possible." The captain of the guard, who was affected by the charm, softened his tone, but the principle remained the same, warning.

"Thank you for reminding me, I will leave early tomorrow morning." Owen was not angry because of this. First, the other party was carrying out the order of the local lord, and second, it might be the influence of the undead village.

Warriors don't turn people into undead, only spellcasters have this ability, so it's normal for the locals to hate spellcasters.

To be honest, the lord here didn't hang or drive away all the spellcasters he saw, so his temper was pretty good.

Of course, it is also possible that they are afraid of not being able to beat them. After all, spell casters are not easy to provoke, so they can live a long life by staying alive.

Owen entered Stone Wheel Town, instead of going to the tavern, he went to buy some books first.

Fortunately, although there is no special library here, there are also places that sell books, but the price is a bit expensive.

After all, because of the low communication method, high price, and poor literacy rate, books can be classified as luxury goods here, and most people really don't buy them.

After a brief look, many books Owen found familiar. He had obviously read them before he was involved in the turbulence. Fortunately, the appearance of a few diaries prevented him from returning empty-handed.

These diaries were left by an old wizard who died in the undead village. Because the people who picked them up couldn't read, they brought them back as books. Unfortunately, they only exchanged for two glasses of ale.

The reason Owen bought it was that the old wizard died in the undead village last month. As long as he goes forward, he may be able to determine how many years have passed in this world.

Came to the tavern, ordered a glass of the best wine, sat down at the small round table in the corner, and Owen took out the diary and began to look through it.

The diary is not cheap, and it is also used as a study note, so a few diaries are full of dry goods, which makes Owen gain a lot.

It doesn't matter what the old wizard's name is, what matters is that he lived long enough, and the great changes in the world before have had too much impact, which is naturally recorded on it, so Owen can be sure that he has stayed in the turbulence for about 30 years.

Because it was too shocking, the old wizard used a lot of space to record it, and after many years, he would repeatedly mention what happened that year, and also pursued the secret of the great change in the world.

According to the records of the old wizard, the disappearance of the Academy City was too sudden, and the appearance of countless demons was too sudden, which caused the imperial capital to fail to react. In addition, the evil organizations such as the head of the demons, the church of flesh and blood, and the church of natural disasters jointly promoted it. The plan was shattered, and the imperial capital fell.

Knowing that the defensive measures of the imperial capital are sufficient to withstand the siege of millions of troops, one can imagine the shock caused by this incident when it spread.

The great changes in the world originally caused widespread chaos, and the fall of the imperial capital was the last straw that broke the camel's back. The entire empire was torn apart in just a few years, and the duke and prince with strong control over the territory were extremely powerful. Time calls Wang Jianguo, and a large-scale war breaks out between them.

The war lasted for ten years, during which many people died. In the end, there were only five kingdoms left. Except for the kingdom of elves and the kingdom of dwarves, the remaining three kingdoms were established by two grand dukes and one prince. .

The earls and marquises at the next level also followed suit to build a country, but their strength could not support their ambitions, so they respectively expanded their power around cities, and formed an alliance of hundreds of cities in order to resist the Seven Kingdoms.

It's a pity that the old wizard is only active in the south and has never been to the north. He is not very clear about the situation in the north. He only knows that the barbarians in the north went south again and were defeated by the three alliances there.

Seeing this, Owen knew in his heart, so he focused on other contents of the diary. Among them, what impressed him most was the old wizard's ridicule of the mage.

In addition to the spiritual power to leverage elements to transform magic power, the foundation of a mage is knowledge.

Theoretically speaking, spiritual power is only the foundation of a mage, and knowledge is the upper limit of a mage.

But since the great change in the world, the knowledge of mages is not good enough. Several famous legendary mages even blew themselves up on the spot, and those who were still alive had to choose to seal themselves. Dare to go out and walk.

However, wizards didn't get complacent for too long, because the world soon ushered in the outbreak period of professionals, and the professionals who were once selected in a thousand became one in a hundred, and the number increased by more than ten times.

As long as anyone with a bit of talent is willing to practice and has someone to teach them, they can almost touch the threshold of an extraordinary profession.

The wizard's spellcasting ability is cumbersome and not suitable for combat. Now facing the competition from many professionals, it has become a little transparent. On the contrary, warlocks are becoming more and more popular, except for demon warlocks.

Under such circumstances, the old wizard was not reconciled, and he did not know where to get part of the necromancer's inheritance, and tried to struggle again, but the result was obvious, and he was afraid that he would get rid of it.

Seeing this, it was almost getting dark, and there were more and more guests in the tavern. Owen, who monopolized a table, was a little conspicuous, but that elegant posture was obviously not something that a gray robe could block, so those who wanted to share a table Often stay away.

Owen put away a table of diaries, went back to the tavern room, released the slime maid, and transformed into a soft beanbag sofa. The whole person fell on it to relax, but his mind kept spinning rapidly.

The territory must go back and have a look. Only after confirming the situation of the territory can he proceed with the next plan.

However, Owen will not be in a hurry. He needs to observe the changes in the world with his own eyes. Only in this way can he know what is going on. Otherwise, staying in a safe castle and just reading the report will be divorced from reality.

Because of the super high attribute, although it was late at night, Owen didn't feel sleepy, but even if he fell asleep, he would be awakened by the sound of climbing the window.

Shaking his long ears, receiving the subtle sound waves from the outside world and constructing them in his mind, Owen could hear a skinny man who was not too old crawling carefully from the corner to his window, and took out a gun from his close-fitting pocket. A hollow, slender wooden tube.

You don't need to think about it to know what this wooden pipe is for, but Owen doesn't even know that thieves in this world can also use incense.

"Interesting." Owen whispered to himself.

Because the night was quiet, although the sound was not loud, it was still heard by people outside, and suddenly froze, not daring to take chances, pushed against the wall and fell to the ground, rolled on the ground and ran away.

The whole process was extremely smooth, obviously he had practiced a lot, but a thick and long rope flying over interrupted his escape plan, and he was tied tightly.

Just when Owen was about to take him back, the other party broke free from the rope like a loach, leaving only one piece of clothing behind, then popped a smoke bomb, and managed to escape under the cover of smoke, which stunned him for a moment.

"Even thieves are professionals now?" This method is obviously not available to ordinary people, so Owen said with some surprise.

As for being targeted by others, he didn't really care much. After all, no matter his posture or some details, he couldn't conceal his good background and arrogance. It was normal to be targeted.
