Chapter 97: The Burned Earl Witch (9)

There is no doubt that Ding Shui definitely does not want to run around alone to save those witches in the future.

She doesn't feel like she has to rely on herself.

Can reverse the current situation.

As the saying goes, it takes three to make a hero. No matter how powerful Liu Bang, Li Shimin and others were, their strength lay in knowing how to use people and having enough talented people to help them. If they relied on one person alone, they would never be able to unify the world even if they worked themselves to death.

Although Ding Shui had no intention of rebelling, it was not realistic to expect her to handle everything alone.

Have more capable people be her subordinates.

Wouldn't she be relieved?

Anyway, Hansen has already started the process of granting others superpowers, or witchcraft, so it’s no big deal to grant witchcraft to more people next time.

But obviously, Ding Shui was not willing to grant superpowers to everyone. Regardless of their own abilities, at least they should be a little tougher in their mentality, have the idea of self-rescue and independence, and even have the idea of helping their own kind.

If you don't even have these thoughts and just want to live an honest life, then there is no need to force others to take risks!

After Ding Shui finished speaking, seeing that no one present reacted for a moment, he added, "Don't worry about anything. Just follow your heart. If you can't help at all and still insist on going with me to rescue people, you're just hindering us and causing trouble."

With this, everyone feels much more at ease.

The witches present quickly formed their own lines, with the vast majority standing on the left. This was normal; after all, they were just ordinary women. If they hadn't been slandered as witches, they would still be living normal lives, cooking, working, and taking care of children at home.

After experiencing these, you will have the courage to resist and fight.

It has been relatively rare since ancient times.

In the end, only nine people stood on the right side, but Ding Shui was already quite satisfied. It was good enough to have some. She hadn't expected many to stand there. She was a little worried that it would be awkward if there weren't any. Now that there were nine people standing on the right side, it was already good. It was unexpectedly good.
"Very good, the nine of you stay here and don't move.

The rest of you will go find the housekeeper later and register with him/her, telling him/her your name, age, what you will be doing and other detailed information.

This will also make it easier to arrange your work.

In addition, I will arrange your accommodation before dark at night. You can discuss later whether you want to live alone, find a companion, or live with three or four people. These are all possible as long as you make it clear in advance.

Please inform the housekeeper when checking in.

Okay, there's nothing left for you to do.

Go back first, pack your things, and then go to the housekeeper to register. After registering, wait for notification."

After arranging the 118 witches standing on the left and waiting for them to leave, Ding Shui walked up to the remaining nine people and said with a smile:

"Very good, you have passed the first level.

Next, I need to check your memories to make sure you haven't done anything seriously evil. That should be fine. If you don't want to, you can quit.

Just tell me directly, no need to stand in line."

After hearing this, the nine people present were not surprised or frightened, but rather delighted. Among them, Harry asked quickly, "My Lord Earl, you are a real witch, you are a real witch with witchcraft, right?

I knew it, I knew you must be.

Otherwise, there is no way they could have saved us."

As early as the day she was rescued, Harry guessed that Ding Shui must be a truly capable witch, not ordinary people like them who were slandered as witches out of thin air. When she learned from the maids in the castle that they were now in the territory of Earl of Floating Light, she became even more certain of this.

Because she knew very well that she had originally lived in the Earldom of Sherman, and the two places were hundreds of kilometers apart, not even in the same country. When her husband had told her about the glory of the family, he had specifically mentioned the Earldom of Floating Light.

It is said that they were one family more than two hundred years ago.

Even drew a rough sketch.

So she knew the distance between the two sides.

Being able to travel hundreds of kilometers from the Earldom of Sherman to the Earldom of Floating Light in such a short time, she would believe it even if it was said to be a miracle of light!
So at this time Ding Shui said he wanted to check their memories.

In addition to being further certain that Ding Shui was definitely a witch, Harry also had a vague feeling in her heart that Ding Shui was so cautious that it was impossible for her to just let them die.

At least teach them something.

Maybe they too could become witches!

Not a witch who can be slaughtered at will, but a witch who can seek revenge, a witch with truly terrifying witchcraft.

"So is there anyone who is unwilling?"

Ding Shui didn't say much, but just continued to ask.

All nine people present shook their heads, indicating that they were willing. Then, of course, Ding Shui would directly look through their memories, without looking at any private information. His main purpose was to see if they had done anything evil, even if the possibility was small. What if she really created an evil witch?

Won’t ordinary people still be the victims then?
Because it was just a cursory check, it was quite quick and painless. It was done in ten minutes. They were all ordinary people. Even if they were not particularly kind, at least they had not done anything evil. Therefore, they were naturally considered to have passed. Ding Shui quickly continued:

"One last question. Are you willing to become a witch? A real witch, a witch with special abilities like me who can cast spells?

If you don’t want to, I won’t force you.”

Even though the nine people present had already had some vague guesses about what Ding Shui might do, they were still quite excited when they actually heard Ding Shui officially say it. At the same time, no one hesitated, and they all said they agreed with all certainty.

God knows, when they were slandered as witches and put on the stake, how much they wished they were really witches, really knew witchcraft, and could really curse them, even if it meant selling their souls to the devil.

Even if your soul is scattered after death and falls into hell.

At that time they only hated the devil for not responding?

Although they have been rescued now, the desires they had in their hearts before being burned to death remain unchanged.

Seeing their excited faces, Ding Shui was quite moved. "Don't get excited. Take your time. Calm down and listen to me. There are many different types of witchcraft. You have limited energy. It will be difficult to learn them all. It may even hinder your progress. So for now, I can only teach you one type so that you can use one type of witchcraft. Then listen to my detailed explanation.

After listening to it, tell me which kind of witchcraft you want to choose!"

The Sun's energy was boundless, so Ding Shui had no problem transforming five supernatural organs at once, cultivating the Five Elements supernatural powers, and the process was also very fast. In the previous world, her daughter and others who were cultivating the Five Elements supernatural powers had large amounts of wood-attributed energy liquid or various high-energy nutritional supplements, so their cultivation speed was also not too slow. But this was not the case here.

Putting aside the question of whether there is enough food, even if there is no limit on the amount, the energy they absorb from eating noodles for three or four hours in a row is probably about the same as one hundred milliliters of high-energy nutritional supplements. With such an inefficient energy absorption rate, practicing five superpowers at the same time is too slow.

It is difficult to achieve any results in a year or two.

So at the beginning, Ding Shui could only let them cultivate one attribute of supernatural power, and when they had time in the future, they could slowly transform the other four supernatural organs by themselves.

Soon, Ding Shui told them what the Five Elements witchcraft was and what it could do. He also told them how to cooperate in order to cast wind-attribute witchcraft.

The next step is to wait for them to make their own choice.

The other nine people including Harry were very cautious and considered more. They not only considered what kind of witchcraft they liked, but also considered that one of the five elements witchcraft must not be missing, otherwise there would be no way to coordinate the use of wind and thunder witchcraft. So after some discussion, they finally gave up the gold and earth attributes that had little effect on them. The nine people formed groups of three, with six choosing wood and fire attributes respectively, and the remaining three all choosing water attributes.

The reason is simple. If you want to cast wind-attribute witchcraft, you must have the combination of wood and fire attributes.

Without wind-attribute magic, they had no way of quickly traveling to other places to rescue other witches who had been harmed. Water-attribute magic, on the other hand, could not only instantly extinguish the flames on the stake but also provide a certain healing effect.

Wood attributes also have healing effects.

This combination makes it easier for them to rescue people.

And ensure that those people can survive. It can be said that they really listened to what Ding Shui said and were willing to help him. Otherwise, they would not have made such a choice.

Ding Shui was really pleased about this.

Although Ding Shui wouldn't say anything if they didn't choose to do so, much less forcefully intervene, their choice was indeed pleasing. The result of Ding Shui's happiness was that he not only helped them mutate their organs on the spot, but also gave them a lot of extra energy.

It would save them at least half a year's effort.

The price was that all the sun essence that Ding Shui had accumulated in recent times was completely consumed, but it didn't matter, as there would be plenty of time to recover in the future anyway.

After that, Ding Shui of course taught them some methods of using the Five Elements witchcraft and arranged new accommodation for them. They no longer had to live in the original large dormitory. Each of them was given a single room, and the dietary standards were also improved.

"You have only one task left. Work hard to master your abilities and the witchcraft I've taught you. You must especially master the wind-attributed witchcraft that requires coordination with each other. Don't let yourself fall.

Once you become proficient, I will notify you immediately if anyone is slandered as a witch and is to be burned to death.

You rush to the rescue!

For now, you just need to focus on this one thing, don’t worry about anything else, just eat when you should, drink when you should, and practice witchcraft when you should.

Okay, go back and move quickly!"

After explaining all this, Ding Shui turned around and went to find Hansen, asking him to give him the registration information of the other one hundred fake witches so that it would be easier to build dormitories for them.

Although there are still many empty rooms in the castle, more and more people will be rescued in the future. It is impossible to let everyone live in the castle, and the castle will definitely not be able to accommodate them. So it is better to divide it from the beginning. Those with superpowers live in the castle, and those without superpowers live outside.

There may be demand for setting up factories in the future.

Just think of it as building the staff dormitory in advance.

After all, with more than a hundred people now, Ding Shui can barely find some work for them, but if the number continues to grow and increases to three to five hundred or even a thousand, how can Ding Shui provide them with so much work to do in such a small castle!
We can't just drive them all out to farm, right?

If they go to farm, what will happen to the serfs?
Therefore, future upgrades and industrialization to find jobs for them should be the inevitable outcome.

Otherwise, you can't just keep it like this.

This time, Hansen had no objections. He simply handed Ding Shui what she wanted and went back to work. He was so busy overseeing the execution of the plans Ding Shui had put into his head that morning that he had no time to think about it.

After getting the registration form and knowing the accommodation needs of the 118 fake witches, Ding Shui quickly walked to the public bathroom and began to build a dormitory building.

There are single dormitories, double dormitories, and quadruple dormitories, and it is very fair, with the average accommodation area being the same.

They are all fifteen square meters.

A single dormitory is 15 square meters, a double dormitory is 30 square meters, and a quadruple dormitory is 60 square meters.

Water, toilets, plumbing and other facilities are all available.

In this era anyway.

The accommodation conditions are already quite good.

After the dormitory was repaired, of course the housekeeper would arrange for the fake witches to move in, and would be responsible for arranging their work and wages. Those who didn't know how to do things or didn't have good skills would be taught by the maids who had been indoctrinated with Dingshui's skills. In short, everyone had to get busy.

Otherwise Ding Shui would feel really uncomfortable.

After all, if others are not busy, then she, the earl with the highest status, will be the busiest.

How can this be possible!!!

……

On the other hand, Father Tavis was worried that the bishop his grandfather mentioned might die at any time and he might be transferred back at any time, so after receiving the appointment letter, he changed his previous leisurely and slow attitude.

Ride at full speed towards Earl Fuguang's territory.

According to the speed at which he had traveled and played in the past, it would have taken him more than half a month to get there. However, it only took him four days to get there successfully. This was because the paladin who had traveled with him was dissatisfied with not being able to rest on the road.

Otherwise it might arrive in two days.

When they arrived near Floating Light City, Father Tavis slowed down his pace and stopped to rest. He also sent a paladin in disguise to go into the city in advance to gather information and see if the guards were there.

He planned to act according to the information obtained by the Paladin.

Be flexible and change your plans!
More than half an hour later, the Paladin responsible for gathering information finally hurried back and began to report the situation:

"Everything in the city is normal, not at all like a recent plague. I secretly asked residents in various districts, and most of them said they hadn't heard of any recent plague outbreaks. Only a few people mentioned that there seemed to be a plague in Floating Light's castle.

Many missionaries and paladins died of illness there.

Some people also said that recently Earl Fuguang's castle sent people to buy a lot of things. He is really a big money man. He bought tens of thousands of kilograms of firewood alone, and also bought hundreds of barrels of oil, thousands of pieces of linen, etc. The quantity is too large. I didn't count it, but anyway, it cost a lot of money.

The merchants on that street all praised Earl Fu Guang when they mentioned him.

Say she's generous or something."

"? That's not right. Logically speaking, didn't many people die in the castle because of the plague? At least that's what the official letter says. Even if no one died, they shouldn't have bought so many things. How long will it take to use them? No, there's something wrong with this Count Fuguang!"

Father Tavis was very keenly aware that something was amiss. Although these items didn't involve food, most of them were daily necessities. Such a large quantity couldn't possibly be used by just the few dozen people in the castle, or even used to provide welfare for all the serfs. That was impossible.

"My lord, it's more than that!"

The Paladin in charge of gathering information continued:
"I also heard that Countess Fuguang secretly sent people to buy a lot of iron, as well as a lot of cattle, sheep, and horses. Although it seems outrageous, I have a suspicion that she is planning a rebellion. She may be secretly raising thousands of knights in the castle."

You can't blame him for thinking too much. He bought iron, cattle, sheep, and horses, and then bought a lot of daily necessities. It really looked like he was making weapons, and there were a lot of people in the castle who needed to feed.

"You bought iron? And cattle and sheep?"

"Iron can be used to forge weapons and armor, but ordinary servants and slaves aren't entitled to meat. Only elite knights are given meat. Could it be that Count Fuguang is secretly plotting a rebellion?"

These days, ordinary knights can only barely eat enough and have a pair of leather armor and an iron sword. Anyone with a complete set of armor can be considered an elite knight. Among the thirty paladins Tavis brought this time, only two had a full set of armor, and the rest were just wearing leather armor.

At the same time, their daily meals are not very good.

Only the Knight Commander and the Deputy Knight Commander could have a meal of meat every now and then, while the other knights were lucky enough to have enough to eat on a regular basis.

Only the most elite Knights of Judgment of the Holy See.

Only then are you qualified to eat meat every meal.

At the same time, they are the elite among the elite.

They had no habit of using cattle to plow the fields. Cattle and sheep were meant to be eaten, so Father Tavis naturally assumed that the cattle and sheep purchased by Dingshui's men were killed for meat and used to train elite knights.

But in fact, sheep do eat.

But Ding Shui took all the cows to plow the fields.

It's just a matter of adding a nose ring.

"Sir, do we still need to deal with Count Fuguang? If it's really as you suspect, it would be useless for the thirty of us to go there. We might even be infected with the plague and die. What do you think?"

At this time, the Knight Commander next to him had already regretted it!
I shouldn't have come here if I had known. I thought it was a sure thing that I could make money, but how come it suddenly became so troublesome? I don't want to lose my life again.
