Chapter 1947 100 Years Ago II
Seeing the confidence that Farmer Vincent had, Lord Wheatica can only visit another day. The territory lord knew that pushing Farmer Vincent might really end up with the latter leaving. The territory lord knew that Farmer Vincent is the only reason that he is enjoying such a life right now. All of the crops that Farmer Vincent is paying as tax are being sold by him at a higher price in other territories.
The crops that Farmer Vincent can harvest are out of the ordinary as all of them have special effects. The special effects might not be as good as potions but continuous exposure to the crops is making the residents of the village become stronger. The effect might not be as apparent now but the children that are getting the priority nutrition in the territory are vastly stronger and more intelligent than others.
This is also the reason why the Church of Light and the imperial family are in haste to relocate near Wheatville. Lord Wheatica even heard that his current territory was being planned to be the next capital as the old capital was ravaged by an attack by a devil. Lord Wheatica knows that he might get promoted to the status of a duke if that happens. Still, he knows that he needs Farmer Vincent in order to make that dream a reality.
"My lord. I know just the person to contact if you have trouble getting that commoner to agree with you." One of the knights stated.
"What can that person even do? I tried enticing that brat with riches and even planned to engage one of my daughters to him, but he even rejected me. He knows that he has the upper hand because he is the one growing such delicious and nutritious things." Lord Wheatica grumbled as he found it incredibly unnerving to be polite to a mere farmer.
"I know of a contact that can get us the help of a witch. We can get the witch to user her heretical magic to control that brat." The knight stated in a whisper which made Lord Wheatica tremble as the Church of Light hates witches to the point that they are burned alive.
"If the Church of Light learns that we used the services of a witch then not only me, but you would be subjected to the wrath of the Inquisition!" Lord Wheatica replied via whispering as well.
"Do not worry, my lord. I will make sure that the witch does not get noticed. She merely needs some objects to bind that brat to do her bidding. If you want, I can even make sure that you would be able to command that brat when the witch is finished. I just ask for at least 20% of the proceeds that you will get from that brat's labor." The knight stated which enticed Lord Wheatica.
"If you can make sure that there are no traces of witchcraft is involved before the members of the Church of Light gets here then you have my permission. Although, if you are caught then you must never tell them that I knew of this or else your precious son that I enrolled in the knight school might suddenly die due to unknown means." Lord Wheatica stated as he is still a cunning person despite being incredibly fat.
"Do not worry, my lord. If I do get caught, then I will take all the blame but please make sure that the money you will receive in the future would be sent to my son. I vow all of this to the gods above." The knight stated with a vow to seal the deal.
"I will vow to the gods above as well to keep the promise should something happen to you. Now make haste and get me the way to control that arrogant and dirty farming brat." Lord Wheatica stated as the knight that suggested to get a witch immediately went away to do his promise.
Lord Wheatica did not show it to the knight, but he was chuckling gleefully that he did not need to do it himself. He was also planning to use some form of dark magic to control the dirty farming brat, but he was still on the fence. He is more afraid of the Church of Light than the dirty farming brat. He knows of what the Inquisition does when deals with devils are involved.
"Now that I only need to wait, what should I food should I eat when I get to my mansion? That brat even dared to reject my beautiful daughter. I could care less if he becomes a mindless farmer only obeying my every desires." Lord Wheatica stated as he chuckled loudly that he almost choked.
What the territory lord or the knight did not know is that there are ears in the shadows. Sirius' eyes could be seen plastered on the shadows created by the light of the candle in the carriage. Adrian was also connected to Sirius all this time and listened to the conversation that has happened.
"Wow! Even a hundred years in the past has such juicy drama. Anyways, I will not be here as I am just going to pick this as the first dawn has arrived." Adrian stated as he immediately snapped one golden wheat stalk as soon as the morning light came.
[You have picked a stalk of Golden Wheat during the first sunlight.]
[Unable to use the specific crop as it can only be exclusively used by Farmer Vincent unless he gives permission.]
[A stalk of Golden Wheat has been sealed temporarily.]
"Hey you! Are you one of those nature spirits!? Here to steal one of my crops again!" Farmer Vincent stated as he could actually see Adrian even though he was in his spirit form.
"Did he think that I am a nature spirit because I am in my Aetheros Form?" Adrian thought as he met the eyes of Farmer Vincent which meant that the young farmer does indeed see him.
