In the days of rebirth as a lord

After listening to Cecil's words, Nora froze for a moment: "Your Highness, are you going to teach everyone in the village how to read?"

Cecil didn't deny it: "Yes."

"Not only don't charge them any fees, but also reward them with beans?"

Cecil reaffirmed: "That's right."

Nora took a breath: "Your Highness, this is crazy, do you know?"

Of course Cecil knew.The system of this world is still a half-slave and half-feudal system. The rulers always like to control the people in a foolish way. Therefore, the people at the bottom have no access to any way to learn knowledge, and cultural inheritance is in the hands of the powerful.It is also for this reason that it seems that Cecil's desire to popularize education is so shocking.

However, Nora shouldn't be so surprised, after all—"As a slave girl, don't you know how to read and write?"

In this regard, Nora explained her background: "Your Highness, I used to be a maid in an earl's family in the Black Eagle Kingdom. Madame and Miss read the scriptures and teachings, and I had the honor to study with them."

Cecil then questioned: "How did the maid of the earl's family become a serf in Ott Village?"

Nora was silent for a moment before replying: "Because the lady I once served became a witch, in order to cover up the shameful news, the count sold all the servants who knew about it to the slave trader, and then let the slave trader Take it to other countries and sell it far away."

"Witch?" Cecil immediately regained her spirits.

It is said that there is indeed extraordinary power in this world. I heard that the senior bishops and popes of the Church of Light all possess extraordinary power, but Cecil, who is an unfavored prince, has never seen it. The legendary elves, treants, orcs, sea monsters, etc., are even more ignorant.Hearing that there really were witches now, Cecil naturally couldn't hold back his curiosity.

"Yes, that lady suddenly possessed a strange ability one morning. The Earl invited the priest to have a look. The priest said that the lady was possessed by an evil spirit and turned into a witch," Nora said.

"What kind of strange ability?" Cecil asked.

Nora thought about it for a while, and then said in an uncertain tone: "It seems to be the ability to turn stones into clay of several different colors?"

Can turn stones into dirt of several different colors?This sounds a lot like separating or purifying minerals!

"How is the young lady of the Earl's family?" Cecil asked eagerly.

The Black Eagle Kingdom is the birthplace of the Light God Religion. As early as decades ago, the title of King of the Black Eagle Kingdom needed to be crowned by the Pope. Now the power of the church has directly replaced the power of the king, and the royal family has existed in name only.In the Black Eagle Kingdom, where the power of the church is in full swing, the earl's daughter who suddenly turned into a witch will naturally not have a good end.

Sure enough, Nora said in a deep voice: "...the night before I was taken away by the slave trader, a fire broke out in Miss's bedroom, and I heard that I was burned to death."

Cecil couldn't hide his disappointment when he heard Nora's answer: "What a pity!"

"What a pity?" Nora seemed a little puzzled.

"If it's what I think, that lady's ability is very useful, it's a pity..."

Nora lowered her head and asked in a low voice, "But is that the power of a witch, or the power of an evil spirit?"
