[Comprehensive] The painting style of time travel is wrong

Different from the wizarding world where good and evil are clearly distinguished and life is joyful 1000 years later, in this dark age, the wizarding world is far darker than it will be a thousand years later.

The lineage of family, pure blood and magic, all of these are much more than what they literally mean.

Sometimes it is even so heavy that the person in it can't breathe...

"Godric? Godric?"

"Huh? What?"

When Godric woke up from the sleepwalking state, he realized that it was already the next day, and several companions who were sitting around the table were looking at him with concern.

Rubbing his forehead, he said to his companions with a smile:

"Sorry, I didn't rest last night and my mind was distracted. What's the matter?"

"is it?"

Rowena, who seemed to be a little suspicious, tilted his head, and unobtrusively turned his questioning gaze to Salazar with a gloomy expression, but only got a cold snort from the other party. .

"Do you know? I actually bought fresh chicken and pepper at the market this morning!"

On the contrary, Helga didn't seem to notice the weird atmosphere, showing off the results of her purchase like a treasure offering:

A bunch of small green peppercorns in the cloth bag in her hand exudes a charming fragrance.

"what?"

Now even Godric was surprised, fresh chicken may be available sometimes, but pepper as a valuable spice (Note 1) is very precious, even the general lords may not have much in their hands, and now they can Bought in a small village?

"Is this one of the places where pepper is produced?"

"No, but this is one of the largest markets in England, and their specialties are very famous."

Rowena threw a piece of fruit after speaking, and Godric subconsciously took it in his hand.

“And their specialty is this”

"Is this...an apple...?"

Looking at the fruit in his hands curiously, Godric noticed the difference almost immediately.

It was a little bigger than the ones he had seen before, but this was normal, but what was strange was that a line of writing was clearly displayed in the veins on the apple.

—God bless you—

"It's interesting, while Helga was shopping in the morning, I also spent a little time asking about a lot of interesting things:

do you know?It was a very small village about two years ago, and then the sage of the earth appeared, and she cast a series of 'spells' at the cost of three annual harvests - such as inserting old tree branches into saplings, As a result, the small sapling actually produced fruit in the second year; for example, using human and animal feces to 'expel the evil spirits inhabiting the farmland' resulted in a good harvest in the second year; for example, sacrificing the young fruit on the tree to the God of the Earth As a result, the yield of the fruit has increased instead (Note 2)..."

Rowena pointed to the apple in Godric's hand with a sly smile:

"Another example is this - let the miracle be displayed on the apple. (Note 3)

Such an apple actually asked me for a gold coin! (Note 4)

And it is said that I was lucky to come early, and then there were merchants from all over the world and even Byzantine merchants who came to purchase it, and it would be sold out soon!

With this kind of business that is more profitable than being a robber, it is no wonder that the market here is so lively. "

After she finished speaking, she glanced at Godric, who was still staring at the Apple research, and added:

"I've checked, it shouldn't be done by magic, although I don't think that wizard would cast magic on hundreds of apples one by one even if it could be done."

"And what about the lord of the fief here?"

He raised the apple that "grows" blessings in his hand and asked.

During these years of traveling, he knew the style of these "nobles" very well.

"Didn't they intervene when something like this happened?"

"Of course... yes. Of course, those wild dog-like guys will not miss this opportunity."

After Rowena made a sideways movement, Salazar took over the bloody topic, and as a man who seemed quite aristocratic, it was more difficult for him to inquire about these things than Rowena, who was a woman. Much more convenient:

"I heard that they came here three times:

The first time they brought a priest to announce that the village was 'cursed' by the witch and needed to be purified. They burned the village and killed half of the people in the village. They also brought stakes and a stake to prepare to 'burn the evil' The witch', and it seemed that they obviously underestimated the power of the Muggle sage, a group of a dozen farmers and soldiers and the little nobleman in the lead were all hung on the big tree at the entrance of the village.

The second time was when the heir of the previous lord came to 'wash away the shame'. This time, there was finally a knight in iron armor. In the end, that idiot knight disappeared into the vast forest with a dozen of their attendants. No one knows their whereabouts.

The last time, because it seemed that various rumors spread, several nearby lords who were jealous but did not dare to act alone united and dispatched an army of nearly 300 people (Note 5), and then the two sides were in a stalemate. "

"Stall?"

Rowena asked curiously:

"How many people does that sage have under his command?"

"About a dozen villagers who fled to her side."

Salazar's answer was clear.

"Then how did she do it?"

Helga on the side hurriedly asked about the development of the story.

"The team of the lords burned down the village and burned down the original tree house of the 'sage', but they didn't burn anything except for a few unlucky ones who were caught by them when they ran too slowly."

Salazar accentuated his voice with a sneer on his face, as if deliberately imitating those lords and said:

"'The pious nobles received a revelation: the god appeared in the night and showed his power, and the knights followed his teachings and mercifully forgave the sinners.'

— This is what they say, but what I understand is:

Contrary to their expectations of easily winning and occupying this place comparable to a gold mine, they occupied the village and got nothing, no food, no livestock, except for a few pieces of iron that were not well hidden and found. Nothing was found.

——Probably because of the experience of the previous two times, the villagers are prepared this time.

At the same time, every time the team that encircled and suppressed the girl entered the mountain, there would be various casualties: being led by a few figures whose exact number was unclear in circles in the mountain forest full of traps, and they would be occupied if they scattered and tried to encircle them. Attacks by the outnumbered villagers.

And once they are stationed alone, if they can't hold on, there will be attacks on horses at night, and various diseases will spread wildly among the attendants.

After two months of stalemate, they finally waited until autumn. They were disappointed to find that the miracle on the apple did not appear this time, which made the nobles lose their money. . "

"So then they made peace and the villagers lived happily ever after?"

Helga looked like she was listening to a bedside fairy tale, but even for the four wizards, the girl's past really looked like a legend.

If they hadn't seen the girl and clearly knew the girl's Muggle identity, I believe even they would have recognized the girl as a powerful wizard.

"Of course not, the retreating nobles were ambushed by that girl.

It is said that when the black-haired and black-eyed girl rushed out from the side of the road leading people, the noble coalition army, which had been tortured by disease and harassment for two months, instantly collapsed. "

Salazar shook his head.

"Later, in order to redeem them, the nobles in the vicinity also invited people from the church (Note 6) to mediate."

"Oh, I understand, the nobles who were scared after being beaten beg for mercy."

The lower limit for those barbaric, rude and stupid illiterate nobles is very clear.

——They found out more than once after defeating the robbers that just now they had to wait for others to leave money and women, and now the guy who was kneeling down and begging for mercy was the local lord.

"Yes, so she became the 'Sage of the Earth' recognized by the church, and this place became the 'Land of Miracles' jointly protected by the church and the lord."

Salazar continued:

"The 'sage' finally put up a sign at the gate of the village, saying 'Don't Disturb the Sleeping Dragon' to warn those guys who are about to move."

After listening to a few people's words, Godric realized that he had missed something. He got up and came to the door. He looked outside at the town rather than a village. He heard various cries and the neighing of livestock. When people went to the bustling scene, his depressed mood suddenly became better.

He turned to those who followed him and said:

"Salazar, your chances of getting the secret technique you want have increased a lot."

"Of course I understand this, but I am more concerned about another thing..."

Salazar came to Godric and asked slowly:

"Godric, if you are facing a knight in armor with a crossbow and a sword rushing towards you, how many people can you deal with?"

"There are many obstacles, remove your weapon and add a sleeping spell."

Godric thought for a while and replied:

"There are about 20 people, it's hard to say if there are more, but as long as you are not surrounded by hundreds of people, there should be no problem in leaving safely."

"Rowena's answer was about fifteen, Helga's about twelve, and me, like you, about twenty."

After speaking, Salazar didn't even explain his reason for asking this question, and then asked:

"So what do you see from this town now?"

"Prosperity, the kind of prosperity brought about by the 'scientific' secret method-this place is no worse than some big cities we have seen."

Godric smiled and replied:

"Maybe in tomorrow's meeting, we can exchange more information on the other uses of scientific secrets besides the secrets of destroying the enemy."

"is it?"

Salazar nodded noncommittally, then turned and returned to the room.

"So Salazar, what do you see here?"

Godric suddenly asked the same question as he turned to Salazar's leaving back.

"a lot of."

Salazar sent his answer without looking back.

"A lot of things you don't like."

Then his figure disappeared in the shadow of the room, leaving only Godric with a thoughtful face.
