Chapter 15 Kneel down

Farr and his wife Tiny were both freedmen. They once lived in another town. Later, because the lord there increased taxes, the money they earned every day was not enough to pay the taxes, so they had to move away.

After wandering for a while, his wife became pregnant. Farr knew that he could not continue like this, so he came to Ashes Town.

At that time, the town was relatively stable. There was no specific lord here, and the landowner, the Earl, would not come over. Only the appointed mayor managed the entire town.

He relied on his skills to build furniture for the townspeople, and soon settled down. He could live a stable life with the money he earned, and he could often eat leavened bread mixed with white flour.

Although the town is close to the Sunset Forest and there are monsters in and out, they have not encountered them, but there are mostly wild beasts. Every time a wild beast comes, the mayor will lead the adults in the town to round up, and then hold a bonfire party in the center of the town to kill the wild beasts.

barbecue.

The townspeople will also take out the food at home and sit around the bonfire to drink and eat meat.

Later, monsters appeared and killed many people, including the mayor. The land was cursed and plants could not grow. Beasts came in one after another, and the townspeople did not dare to take action. The cattle, sheep, and chickens raised at home were destroyed.

The crops were destroyed and some people couldn't bear it and left.

Farr also thought about leaving Ashes Town with his wife and children. That year, the child fell ill, so they had to stay temporarily. After the child recovered from the illness, they heard another news that the roads leading to the outside world were infested with monsters.

A family saw the bitten corpses of townspeople on the road.

It is for this reason that the townspeople dare not leave easily.

This time the lord came to Ashes Town, which was a good thing for Farr. He felt that this place had finally received attention, and the lord had solved the problem of the land curse as soon as he came, and he would definitely be able to deal with the Warcraft.

"The furniture at home has become like this for no reason. Are we also suffering from a curse?"

Far scolded, "Don't talk nonsense, don't even mention the curse. Once the mayor thinks we have been cursed, the whole family will be burned to death."

Tiny covered her mouth and nodded her head like a chicken pecking at rice. The mayor had burned serfs before. Although she didn't see it, she could hear the distorted screams of pain when people described being burned.

She didn't want to experience something like this.

"But what should we do? We can't leave the town."

A knock on the door interrupted her.

"Who will come over at this time?" Tiny looked confused.

"Is Far at home? Hurry up and open the door to greet the lord." Karis's voice came from outside.

"Lord?" Tiny's eyes widened, "Did he know that we were cursed and wanted to come here to capture us and burn us to death?"

Far's heart thumped and he comforted: "Don't think so wildly, it might be something else."

His tone was trembling, and he was obviously scared.

The knock on the door rang again, Farr tried his best to calm down and opened the door.

Karis had a dissatisfied look on his face and said in a bad tone, "You should be hanged if you, a small citizen, neglect your lord like this."

Farr quickly explained, "Dear Lord, because I have been working all day long, the opening of the door is a little slow. I hope you will forgive me."

Lin En waved his hand, indicating that he didn't care, and walked in directly.

The house is very simple, there is not much furniture, and some tools are hung on the walls, which is a bit inconsistent with his status as a carpenter.

Tiny's body was trembling constantly, and she was terrified at the thought of her family being burned to death.

Lynn noticed something was wrong with her and asked, "What's wrong with her?"

"No, it's nothing. Maybe it's your majesty, Lord, that makes Tiny admire her from the bottom of her heart. In order not to affect you, let her leave here." Farr gave Tiny a look and told her to get out quickly.

"No!" Linn said, turning to look at Tiny.

He could naturally see that the other party was not worshiping, but was afraid deep down, but why he was afraid of himself was a bit puzzling to him.

There is a status gap between free people and nobles, but as long as they are not tyrannical lords, they will be friendly to free people to a certain extent because they can bring a lot of tax revenue to the territory.

Seeing that Farr didn't mean to explain, Linn thought for a while and didn't ask. Instead, he talked about the purpose of coming here.

"I heard you had a problem at home."

Before he finished speaking, he heard two bangs.

Farr and Tiny knelt on the ground. Karis on the other side was stunned, not knowing why they suddenly acted like this.

"Sir, we are really not cursed. Please believe us."

"Don't burn us, don't burn my children."

The words of the two people immediately startled Karis, and his voice became sharp, "What, a curse!"

"Master, let's get out of here quickly."

He took a quick step and wanted to pull Linn away, but he didn't pull him.

Lin En frowned slightly and looked serious, "Tell me carefully what is going on."

Since the mission does not indicate a curse, but uses troublesome things to illustrate it, then it shouldn't be a curse issue.

Farr did not expect that the lord was really willing to listen to their explanation, so he hurriedly told the reason of the matter in one breath, fearing that the lord would be impatient and label the matter as a curse.

"You said the furniture turned into pieces for no reason?" Lynn asked.

"Yes!" Farr nodded, "I don't know what happened. When I woke up, the packed furniture at home turned into a pile of debris."

"Do you still have the scraps?"

Farr quickly brought the container over, which contained a large amount of powder. Some were in the form of lumps with traces on them, while others were in the form of powder. Linn rubbed it with his fingers, leaving traces on his fingers.

A layer of fine powder.

Looking at these scraps, Lin En had some guesses in his mind.

Karis on one side said: "This is not a curse. Only a curse can do such a thing. Master, let's hurry up and leave. If you are contaminated by the curse, you will die miserably."

Farr was worried. He was really afraid that the adults would say curse words, because it meant that their whole family would be burned alive.

Lin En was speechless, stood up, looked around, and landed on the window.

He picked up the chair and hit it hard.

The window sill shattered, and a large amount of powder floated out. There was a smile on Linn's lips, and it was exactly what he thought.

He put down the chair and said: "The problem has been found. The root cause of the furniture turning into pieces is not the curse, but them."
