Chapter 687: Meeting Crow on the Way to Magic Island
The next morning, Kashin said goodbye to his grandfather and left after saying some parting words. The old man was in good health, so there was no need to worry too much.
I'll go see the assassin Crow on the way. I've been drinking with Mr. Crow quite often these days. This time I'm going to the Magic Island, so I'll ask him if he needs anything before leaving.
In a village near Sheldon, there lived a mysterious crow. Every day, he would come to the river and fish leisurely, as if that was all he lived for. No one knew where he came from, except that he was a special consultant for Emily's herb farm, but that was just one theory.
But as time went on, the villagers came to accept this unusual neighbor, a quiet but friendly man who seemed to have an almost obsessive love for fishing.
On this day, Crow sat by the river as usual, holding a fishing rod and staring at the water surface intently. However, what was different from the past was that there was a hunting falcon beside him. This hunting falcon was not an ordinary species, but was imported from abroad and raised near Sheldon Castle, becoming a standard pet for scouts.
Just as the crow was concentrating on fishing, a voice suddenly came: "Hey! Mr. Crow, how is the catch?" The person who spoke was Kashin, who jumped lightly onto Mr. Crow's small fishing boat.
The crow turned his head, a smile appeared on his face, and replied: "Haha, my friend, I have just started fishing, but I believe that it should not be a problem to make a gold coin every day!"
After hearing this, Kashin couldn't help laughing: "Crow, you are so rich, is it necessary to pretend like this? What does a gold coin mean to you? You act as if you are really a fisherman."
The crow laughed loudly, and his laughter echoed on the river: "Hahaha, this is the joy of life, Sir Cashen, you will never understand. Being an ordinary person, feeling this kind of ordinary life, the taste of it is endless!"
"Your crow is pretty good, why do you also train a falcon? This one is very ordinary."
"Sir, to train it, we just need to catch some game to eat. It won't delay anything. I'm not a scout in your army, so I can only buy an ordinary one. Everything depends on human efforts. Anyway, I have nothing to do, so I can train it slowly for fun..."
"Okay! I need a good quality one, so I'll get you one before I leave, okay!" He took out his special kraft paper and wrote on it...
Of course the crow wanted a high-quality one, so it waited silently. With Sir Kashen's letter, the competent department would definitely be concerned about the excellent breed, so it was looking forward to it.
Ordinary hunting falcons can be adopted by civilians and are more than sufficient for hunting, but they are all low-level species that cannot be used in the military.
After stamping it, Kashin smiled and handed the kraft paper to the crow: "Haha, take a high-quality one and raise it. If it is well trained and wins a place in the competition, it will automatically become a breeding bird. You can also apply for bird training subsidies to participate in breeding and cultivate better varieties!"
"Thank you sir, I'm really looking forward to it now, I'll try my luck later!".
Kashin smiled faintly and said: "If you feel that you have had enough experience as a fisherman and want to do something, you can ask my wife for a job. My wife knows your deeds..."
"I've long been tired of killing. This kind of life is very comfortable, so I don't want to work, but I have enough money to spend. I'm really in love with the novelist's daughter. I want to get married and have children, forget about my career as a killer, and live the rest of my life in mediocrity..."
Kashin nodded: "Well, you are so lucky, just disappear among the common people! I will have to work for the people for a while, and finally return to peace and enjoy life! Well, whatever Brother Crow likes...".
"Sir Cashen, my lover is a widow whose husband died in the war. Her future father-in-law writes books for Sheldon Castle, so she has read a lot of stories about the hero's heroic deeds during this period..."
"Haha! Novelists exaggerate, you don't have to take it seriously, Brother Crow. Novels are one of the castle's businesses, and they sell well all over the country. They can't be sold without making up stories, so I don't dare to read those novels..."
Kashin chatted with Mr. Crow for more than an hour and was ready to leave, hoping that the crow would secretly observe the strangers in the folk. In short, Sheldon Castle was complicated now, and they had to guard against strangers infiltrating.
If necessary, if there are strangers, I hope Crow can check...
Kashen rode the silver wolf to the teleportation array in Shadow Moon City and went to the city gate to complete the formalities. He looked up and saw that the guards were all women. Kashen could only sigh inwardly that the decision he made at that time led to this situation.
You know what, they looked very professional, standing in the wind, looking very heroic, which made the people queuing to enter the city maintain much better order.
Now that there are a large number of new citizens in the city, there is no shortage of men, and this system will continue. Female soldiers will be appointed as crossbowmen and garrisons, which can save a lot of labor.
After entering the city, Kashen planned to go to Rossi Trading Company to meet Miss Lillian, who was Blainey's personal maid and cousin. She had taken good care of him in the past. If he had the chance, he would ask her what message he needed to take to the Magic Island.
On the city wall, a pair of sharp eyes stared at Kashin, causing him to shudder...
As mentioned in the previous article, Saint Rice of the church was unfortunately arrested. When she was subjected to cruel torture, she resolutely chose to seek death and finally successfully ended her life.
However, unexpectedly, she was saved by the god of the Sun God Cult.
This mysterious god not only pulled her back from the brink of death, but also specially arranged a new identity for her - she took over the body of the daughter of a candy flavorist who had just died.
In this way, Rice began her new life with the new name of Mayana. After Shadowmoon City experienced a terrible plague, due to the large population reduction, Sheldon Castle began to recruit female soldiers to supplement the army. Mayana took the opportunity to infiltrate this team and became a crossbowman. Everything went very smoothly.
Just today, when she was on duty, a familiar figure suddenly appeared in front of her - Kashin entered the city! Instantly, Mayana's heart surged with a strong urge, and she almost wanted to take action immediately, but she finally held back. She silently watched Kashin walking away with the silver wolf, her heart filled with complicated emotions.
The reason why he didn't act immediately was mainly because Mayana was not yet completely sure that she could kill with one blow.
She knew very well that she was shouldering an important mission given by the gods: to eliminate the future God of Martial Arts, God of Magic, and God of War within eight years, completely disrupt the timing of human awakening, reorganize the Sun God Cult that had gone astray, and then spread the pure teachings given by the gods.
Only by completing these tasks can she be promoted to a god with this merit. She observed the governance of Shadowmoon City and recognized that this was the hope for human happiness...
However, the chances of the three mortals to become gods must be interrupted, because if they succeed, the church will never have a chance to rise again, so they must be killed.
These correct methods of governing a country should be promoted by oneself. In this way, one will be the true God who saves mankind.
In order to save humanity, the three mortals went against the church and had to kill all the church's armed forces and believers. Human thought was liberated and happiness naturally returned.
In fact, the existence of the church is redundant. There are too many believers who get something for nothing and need to be supported by humans. People are becoming increasingly overwhelmed. The saint knows that this is a heresy and must change course.
