Although the change in Eileen happened late at night, and many people in the castle had already rested, there were still many people who were still awake. These people saw the entire castle become transparent under the red light.

Yes, a few of the unlucky ones accidentally lowered their heads and saw the darkness and depth underground.

That kind of dark and profound scene would make even Leo with such a strong willpower feel uncomfortable after seeing it, let alone a few ordinary people, so those unlucky ones fell into a coma at that time, and on the second day

After waking up every day, without exception, everyone went crazy.

The red light erupted at night, the castle became transparent, and suddenly someone went crazy. All kinds of strange things happened together, which made people have to make some associations. So some rumors spread in the castle, some rumors about Sylvia.

It was also mentioned again and connected, causing panic in the entire castle.

When Sylvia first obtained the fiefdom of Randall, many people in the kingdom were envious and jealous. Many people even obstructed her when she took over Randall and created various rumors that were not favorable to her.

, such as deliberately leaking her identity as a witch and creating various rumors based on her identity.

Although the Orthodox Church has stopped hunting witches for many years, legends and stories related to witch hunting continue to circulate among the people in the world of Velen, and many of these stories have become well-known folk tales.

In all the stories, witches, without exception, like to do evil things such as refining harmful poisons, torturing ordinary people, and even spreading plagues. Therefore, the attitude of the people towards witches is full of hatred and disgust.

Faced with this rumor, Sylvia used the most direct method to crack it. She directly put on the attire of the Adjudicator of the Orthodox Church and walked directly through the center of Randall, accompanied by the chief priest of the Poseidon Church and

Other church clergy.

Although the people in Randall did not know much about the Orthodox Church and could not possibly understand what the Adjudicator's clothes were like, they were able to identify the church emblems on the clothes, and the presence of the chief priest and clergy of the Poseidon Church showed even more.

With the church's attitude, those rumors about witches are naturally disproven.

However, even if the rumor was broken, it did not disappear. It was still used as a topic of conversation among Randall's people, but no one believed it anymore.

But what is happening now makes people feel weird no matter what, and it is so similar to the description of the witch harming people in the story, so the legend of the witch that had been silent came to mind again.

However, the only people affected by the witch's story are the servants and workers of the outer and inner castles. As for the housekeepers and servants of the main castle, they all know the identity of Sylvia the Witch. After Sylvia's various loyalty tests, she is

Sylvia trusts people, so it doesn't have much influence.

"Aren't you going to take care of it?" In the early morning, Leo's extraordinary hearing heard some servants talking about last night's incident, and turned to ask Sylvia who was washing up with the help of the maid.

Sylvia said calmly: "It doesn't matter. Their discussion like this will not have any impact on me. As for my reputation, I have been too kind in the past few years. It's time to add some dignity." As she said that, she turned her head.

He looked at Leo, who had already put on his clothes, and said, "If you go to the port, some of the officials there may deliberately make things difficult for you. You don't have to be polite. Just use your own method to solve the problem."

Leo nodded, left the room, and came to the courtyard of the main castle. At this time, the butler had prepared the carriage and attendants. Leo got on the carriage and directly ordered to go to the municipal archives. The attendant jumped on the seat in front of the carriage,

The carriage started slowly and drove towards the outside of the castle.

Congwanghai Cliff is located on the northwest side of Randall Port, separated by a forest and plantations. Just like most of the seaside areas at the southern end of the Velen continent, the plantations here are also planted with grapes, and the grapes here are also famous.

The variety was transplanted from the Porto region by the French royal family. After hundreds of years of improvement, it has now become a new grape variety.

Every year the grapes here are brewed into fine wine by Castle Black and named after Castle Black.

Many wine lovers once believed that the value of this grape plantation far exceeded the value of Castle Black itself, and many of those who were jealous of Sylvia's acquisition of the Randall fiefdom were jealous of her.

Acquired this grape plantation.

Because of the cold weather, all grape vines need to be kept warm. In addition to covering all the grape trellises with a layer of breathable and light-transmitting gauze, they also lighted up the surrounding planting areas at night.

Some fire pots were installed to increase the temperature, which also doubled the manpower needed for the plantation. Many unemployed fishermen in Landauer Port came here to work part-time.

The blockage of the sea surface by gray fog is a fatal blow to all navigation industries. Almost the entire navigation industry in the Velen world is in dire straits. Now it can only rely on some shipping in the offshore to support the entire industry on the verge of extinction.

The fishery industry is also in dire straits. Those fishermen who make a living by fishing at sea have all lost their source of income. Although they can catch some fish in the sea near the shore, the amount of fish caught is less than that of offshore and offshore fishing.

Compared with the harvest brought by fish, the status is insignificant.

And I don’t know if it’s because they concentrated on fishing too much, or if the fish have learned to be smart. All in all, there are very few fish that can be caught near the coast. A skilled old fisherman can catch dozens of them at a time when he goes to sea, which is pretty good.

, many fishermen usually catch nothing.

As a result, these idle fishermen have become a security risk in almost all port cities. These fishermen hang out in taverns all day long, drinking cheap home-made wine, confused and fearful of the future, and all kinds of pressure fall on them. When they are drunk,

Finally, all these pressures are released, and the way to release them is to fight.

In addition, some fishermen who were unable to make a living would also appear as robbers and thieves, which quickly filled the local prisons with people.

A few days ago, Sylvia could see from the documents obtained by the intelligence agency that these fishermen had become a big trouble within the United Kingdom, making the United Kingdom somewhat unstable.

However, Rupert Fitz seemed to have found a solution. He approved a large number of infrastructure construction within the kingdom, such as the urban sewer widening plan, the Kingdom Avenue plan, the urban slum reconstruction plan, and other costly kingdom construction plans.

Some of the manpower required in these plans are ordinary people in need of relief, another part are prisoners in prisons, and the last part are idle fishermen.

This greatly alleviated the pressure on prison accommodation and urban security. The only thing that needed to be paid was enough money. For Rupert Fitz, this was the least headache.

The situation in Randall is slightly different from that of other fishing ports. Although the fishery here has also been hit, and some fishermen have already started business, due to the Poseidon Church, the vast majority of fishermen can still fish offshore.

The number of fish is no longer what it used to be.

The Poseidon Church holds a ceremony every month. In this ceremony, they will bless some fishing boats. After the blessed fishing boats enter the fog, as long as they are not too far away from Randall Port, they will not lose their way and will not lose their way.

You will not be attacked by unknown entities in the black fog, and you can fish in offshore waters with confidence.

Although the catch is much less than before, the income of these fishermen who have a good relationship with the Poseidon Church has not decreased much, because as the gray fog seals the sea, the seafood products are decreasing rapidly, whether in the United

In both the Kingdom and the French Empire, seafood is in short supply. The price of an ordinary marine fish has increased several times, and the growth rate shows no signs of slowing down or even declining.

There are also some fishing boats that are very unlucky. It is not their turn to receive the blessings of the Poseidon Church every time. Most of the fishermen on these fishing boats have been diverted by the municipal construction plan of Randall Port, and the rest are also used for grape planting.

Industries like the park have been absorbed. In short, even if the gray fog seals the sea for such a long time, the public security of Landauer Port, a major fishing port, can still remain stable, and there are no signs of panic in the market like other places.

And the more important thing that affects people's hearts is that it is not a bad thing in Randall Port. Not only are the mutants here not subject to discrimination and suppression like other places, but they have become the envy of others, because in Randall Port

In this city where the Poseidon Church occupies an absolute dominant position, the mutants without exception all show mutations in the direction of the Poseidon Familia. Some have grown scales like sea fish on their bodies, and some have acquired the ability of fish to breathe in the sea.

wait.

After the Poseidon Church verified that these mutants had indeed mutated in the direction of the Poseidon Familia, they would publicly admit that these people had become Poseidon Familia, and incorporated them into the Poseidon Church, becoming one of the clergy that everyone envied, so now in Lan

On the streets of Doyle, you can see many mutants wearing the attire of Poseidon Church clergy preaching in various squares.

"Stop." When the carriage passed a small square, Leo knocked on the carriage and ordered.

The carriage quickly stopped, and its position was just at the outer edge of the small square, just enough to hear the mutant clergy loudly preaching doctrine on the pulpit in the middle of the square.

This mutant cleric's head has shown obvious fish-like mutations, such as growing scales, ears becoming fin-like, and an extra layer of webbing on the palms, etc. However, the overall appearance is still similar to that of humans.

Although he has just joined the Poseidon Church and has not been a clergyman for a long time, he is very familiar with the Poseidon classics. During his sermons, he can casually tell a story from the classics. This shows that he was already a member of the Poseidon Church before he became a mutant.

devout believers.

The citizens of Port Randall standing around him did not show any disgust or disgust towards the mutant in front of them. Instead, they looked at him with reverence and envy. Every time the other person recited the name of God, he would be extremely pious.

The Poseidon emblem is painted on the chest.

Leo listened for a while, but only heard some sparse and ordinary sermon content, so he lost interest in continuing to listen and was about to leave.

Just when he was about to tell the driver to move on, the mutant's sermon caught his attention again.

It turns out that the content of the sermon preached by this mutant is no longer the sermon content of the Poseidon Church in the past, but a rewritten sermon based on the current situation of gray fog sealing the sea.

In the sermon, the gray fog is described as a test and a gift from the God of the Sea to mankind. Only devout believers who pass the test can receive the blessings of the gods.

Generally, anyone with a little bit of brains would not believe such a temporary sermon that is full of loopholes, but the problem is that among all the churches of gods in the entire Velen continent, only the Church of Poseidon can bless the sea through rituals.

The ship can sail safely in the fog-covered sea, which no other spiritual church can do, which also gives this sermon full of loopholes innate evidence to prove its authenticity.

Because of this, among the Poseidon Church believers in Randall Port, some people continue to become extremely devout believers, and many even become fanatic believers. Moreover, Poseidon Church has also developed its faith to surrounding cities for the first time.

"Is the Poseidon Church planning to take advantage of the changes in the world to expand its faith?" After listening to the new sermon, Leo ordered the coachman to continue heading towards the archives, and he had a trace of doubt in his heart.

The Poseidon Faith is one of the oldest beliefs in the world of Velen, and it is also one of the largest churches. The Poseidon Church not only has church churches in the surrounding port cities on the three continents, but also the two maritime overlords of the Kingdom of Inge and the Kingdom of Sigmar.

The country has the Church of Poseidon as its state religion, and there are countless believers. Almost everyone who makes a living at sea believes in Poseidon to some extent.

Although the scale of Poseidon Church is so large, because the beliefs are too scattered, Poseidon Church has never had a unified general church, which also makes Poseidon Church look like a piece of scattered sand.

The Kingdom of Inge and the Kingdom of Sigmar both consider themselves to be the orthodox members of the Poseidon Church, and the churches in these two countries are also opposed to each other, and both have established holy places in their own countries. The situation of the Poseidon Church on the three continents is similar, and each has its own

The holy places do not belong to each other.

As a direct result of this, the status of the Poseidon Church within the Orthodox Church has always been in the middle, and even the number of devout believers has been shrinking year by year. This is definitely bad news for the Poseidon Church, and the best way to solve this declining situation is
