Necromancer Farming Notes Figure Master
Chapter 523 Pressure from Public Opinion
Outside the manor, the group of uninvited guests was stopped by the Cuckoo Knights.
"What emblem is this? I don't think I've seen it before." One of the uninvited guests said, staring at the emblem on the shield of the Cuckoo Knight.
"Haha, it's just the emblem of a mercenary. It's not the emblem of a noble. It's normal that you haven't seen it before." Another person said disdainfully.
And their conversation also made the Cuckoo Knights a little angry.
"Haha, a group of watchdogs, how dare you do anything?" The knight on the opposite side continued to taunt.
The one-eyed dragon knight in the Cuckoo Knights couldn't stand it. "Hmph! You don't have all your hair! How dare you be so provocative! I'm going to fight you..."
"Shut up!" The regiment leader arrived in time and interrupted his subordinate's reckless speech.
The knight opposite saw that the duel invitation was interrupted, so he raised his eyebrows.
He looked at the group leader with a look in his eyes.
"Haha, I finally saw someone with a brain." He ignored the one-eyed dragon and got off his horse.
He turned his gaze around the group leader and looked at Rico next to him.
"Hello, Hundred-Faced Witch Doctor!" He bowed slightly.
Then he bowed to Michaela again.
The leader's expression was a little cold because he was ignored.
And I don’t know if the guy opposite did it on purpose. He first saluted Rico and then Mikayla. This may also be a provocation.
But it is estimated that His Highness Mikala can't see it at all. This is probably to show flattery to a blind man.
The leader said to the visitor: "Which noble are you under?"
The knight opposite tapped his breastplate, which had a noble emblem on it.
"You should add to your poor knowledge. Can't you recognize such a prominent emblem?"
Before the leader could speak, Michaela's curious voice came.
"I'm sorry, I really don't recognize this badge...can you tell me what it stands for?"
The expression on the knight's face turned ugly for a moment, and he looked at Mikaela with squinted eyes.
But he found that Mikayla's expression was very sincere and did not look like she was making fun of him. This made his expression even more ugly.
The group leader standing aside silently gave a thumbs up. Her Highness Michaela's reply really hits the mark.
"...It doesn't matter whose subordinate I am, I just represent all the nobles to convey a message to you." The knight was obviously disturbed, and his expression became a little impetuous.
"If you are watching the game alone, we will not have any problem. But if you watch the game with some unclear people, then we will take action."
Michaela frowned when she heard this. She couldn't understand what the other person was talking about.
These people are always like this, saying some unintelligible things.
Seeing Michaela frowning, the knight opposite smiled slightly. It seems that his warning has made His Highness understand something.
"My words have been conveyed. I hope you can keep yourselves clean and don't gather any rabble."
"Farewell, Your Highness!"
After the knight finished speaking, he wanted to turn around and leave.
"Please wait a moment." The leader suddenly said.
"Huh? You have..." The knight just turned around when a white glove fell on his face.
"You!" The knight was furious! This ignorant thing! How dare you challenge yourself!
"Your arrogance and rudeness will not be looked down upon by His Highness, but as His Highness's attendant, I will never tolerate such behavior!" the leader said coldly.
"Haha! Very good!" The knight crushed the white gloves that fell on the ground with his feet. "I will let you know the difference between the regular army and the wild army!"
"How to compete?" asked the leader.
"Full armor!"
"no problem."
After saying that, the two of them led the horses and prepared to go to a wide place.
Michaela, who was standing aside, looked confused. "Huh? What are they doing?"
"Uh... they... are going to hold a knight's duel..." Rico spoke intermittently, and the hateful pain came again!
Although he was very angry just now, he was in so much pain that it was difficult for him to keep his face expressionless.
Michaela seemed to understand. But from the looks of them, they must be about to fight.
Michaela hid behind Rico with some fear.
The two parties in the duel distanced themselves and stared at each other face to face.
"There is no special duel ground here, so we can't prepare uniform lances. I won't bully you, I will compete with you with the worst lance." The knight casually took a very short lance and gestured.
The leader was expressionless. "My lance is broken, I'll just use my rapier."
The knight opposite showed an angry look. He felt that the leader looked down on him.
"You are asking for death! Huh! Let's start! Let's start counting to three!"
"it is good."
"Three! Two! One! Charge!"
The two of them rode toward each other on horseback at the same time.
The knight on the opposite side suddenly released a heavy pressure during the charge.
The leader's momentum instantly slowed down.
"Hmph! Trash!" The knight opposite showed a ferocious smile. He thought the leader was so strong, but in the end he couldn't even let go of his momentum!
Looking at the regiment leader who was getting closer and closer, he suddenly thrust out the lance in his hand.
However, to his surprise, the group leader nimbly dodged the blow.
The knight instantly knew that the opponent's attack was coming, so he controlled his mount to move sideways.
He knew that according to the attack distance of the captain's rapier, it was impossible to hurt him.
Sure enough, the leader drew out his rapier and slashed the knight's neck.
The sword edge grazed his neck.
The knight smiled coldly, and the two sides passed each other.
"Haha, you're not bad, you can dodge one of my attacks!"
The leader sheathed his sword, his expression a bit inexplicable.
"What do you mean?" The knight frowned.
"I advise you to find a better doctor for treatment." said the group leader.
"What..." The knight suddenly found some blood flowing from his neck.
"Impossible! You obviously didn't touch me!"
"It's just a small sword energy." The leader instantly drew his sword and slashed at the grass on the ground.
The edge of his sword was still half a meter away from Xiaocao, but Xiaocao was cut in half.
Seeing this scene, the knight's neck instantly felt chilly.
If the opponent had used all his strength just now, I would have been covered in blood.
While he was in a daze, he felt more and more blood flowing from his neck.
Seeing this, Michaela hurriedly gave him a healing prayer from the air.
The knight's injury healed instantly.
"Thank you, Your Highness..." His expression was a little gloomy, and he knew that he had completely lost this time.
He gritted his teeth and left with his men.
Seeing the people leaving in embarrassment, the Cuckoo Knights burst into cheers.
The leader ignored his men, got off his horse, knelt down on one knee in front of Mikaela.
"Your Highness, please forgive me for letting you see a violent scene."
"It's okay! Although I don't know much about the situation, my uncle looked so handsome just now!"
"As long as you don't hate it." The group leader also smiled.
Rico also gave the group leader a thumbs up, but he was in too much pain and was too lazy to speak.
The leader slowly stood up, knowing that his goal had been achieved.
This not only demonstrated his ability, but also did not offend the nobles on the opposite side.
It's just that the leader is still a little unwilling in his heart. His power of blessing is very weak, and he just relied on deception to win.
There was a thin wire in his rapier. When he swings the rapier at high speed, the wire will be spit out.
The operation of cutting off the grass just now was done through the wire in the rapier. The so-called sword energy was just made up by him.
"When can I truly defeat the enemy with my own strength?" the regiment leader thought to himself.
He knew the huge gap between his own order and the regular order. The existence of his men is more to build up his momentum.
So he will never conflict with the nobles.
After chatting with Michaela for a while, the leader returned to his camp and began to explain some things to his subordinates.
"I hope more people will know about today's duel." The leader took out a money bag and put it on the table.
"No problem!" The eyes of the boys around him suddenly lit up.
Their combat skills may be mediocre, but their ability to fish in troubled waters is very strong!
The brothers poured out the money from the bag, divided it up and immediately took off their bluffing armor, put on their casual clothes, and headed into the city.
A few days later, the details of the battle were spread throughout the city.
Many people heard the news about Her Highness Michaela, so they couldn't help but want to go there and have a look.
In the past, they did not dare to take refuge in Mikaela, entirely because the other party was unable to protect themselves.
But now, the other party seems to have some ability to protect themselves. This gave people some hope, so many people who had no property in the city took the risk and left the city and took refuge in Michaela's manor.
Michaela was very happy to see so many people coming, and she accepted them all.
It's just that not all of these people are people who sincerely want to take refuge in Mikaela, there are also many spies of the nobles among them.
Rico was sitting on the hot stone, watching the people around him building the estate.
He also wants to do his part, but now he is powerless.
"Everything is getting better..." Rico smiled.
At this time, a dull-looking old farmer came over to Li Ke.
"Sir Rico, I'm sick." The old farmer said.
"Huh? What's wrong with you?" Rico asked.
At the same time he called Micaela in his dream.
"My heart aches." The old farmer's dull expression suddenly became sharp.
"Huh?" Li Ke didn't respond.
"If I remember correctly, you were a glorious knight before, right? Why have you fallen to this level now?" the old farmer said.
Rico's expression changed.
"who are you?"
"Haha, maybe you haven't seen me. But we served the same master before!"
"The only difference between us is that you fight for the master, and I spy for the master."
With the old farmer's words in mind, Rico finally understood who the other party was.
The nobleman whom Rico followed unexpectedly found him again.
"Your leaving without saying goodbye made the master very sad. Now you have two choices. The first is to make up for your mistakes, and the second is to make the same mistake again and again."
"How are you going to choose?"
"What are your plans?" Rico asked calmly.
"Haha, it seems that you have made a wise choice. I hope you can monitor Mikaela and report to me as soon as possible if she has any changes! Do you understand?"
"What is a strange movement?" Tolena's clear voice came, startling the old farmer.
He hurriedly looked around, but found no trace of His Highness. So he glared at Rico angrily.
"Why haven't I discovered that you have such a skill before? Huh! I'll forgive your joke this time. If there is a next time, you'd better think about your relatives!"
The old farmer made a threat and left quickly.
Rico's expression was a little dark.
He had no feelings for those so-called relatives, but the threat from them still made him a little angry.
"Your Highness, it seems those guys still don't trust us! Our development has aroused their vigilance!"
"But we just want to live a happy life in peace, and we didn't provoke them." Tolena was a little confused.
"Alas! Some people don't like others!" Rico sighed.
And Tolena couldn't understand why there were such people.
"What should we do now?" Tolena asked.
"Let's ask the leader of the Cuckoo Knights first! He is on the same front as us now!"
"it is good!"
So the two quickly found the group leader. and explained the situation to him.
The leader showed a reassuring smile.
"Don't worry, as long as we don't expand our armaments, they won't do anything to us."
Rico frowned, he felt something was wrong.
"Don't worry! Leave this matter to me." The leader said seriously.
In fact, the leader already had a way to deal with the current problem when he asked his subordinates to spread the news.
Before he spread the rumors, he had already sent his men to deliver a message to the hostile nobles in another territory.
The content of the letter was also very simple. He succinctly explained the miserable situation of His Highness Michaela. He hoped that the other party could help His Highness Michaela regain her territory.
Counting the time, the other party should have already received the letter and should have made some reaction.
In fact, the group leader just gave the other party a warning.
His Highness Michaela's identity can be used, after all, this territory nominally belongs to His Highness Michaela.
Sure enough, there were also smart people on the other side, and they instantly understood what the group leader meant.
So the other side publicly stated that they would support His Highness Michaela in regaining her territory.
And they also sent a large number of spies to slander those who abused Her Highness Michaela.
"His Royal Highness Michaela is a demigod, but she was exiled to the wild by that gang of shameless people! Which of the people in the territory would treat their lord like this!"
"Think about it! Your Highness Michaela is innocent and innocent, but she spends her whole day with jackals. What a tragic thing it is!"
"..."
Sure enough, as soon as these speeches came out, the people in the whole city became excited.
They all subconsciously thought that as a demigod, His Highness Michaela should be the stronger one.
But now they were nudged, and they instantly noticed Michaela's other identity, a young girl.
Moreover, His Highness Michaela never complained to them. Her Highness Michaela even provided jobs and food for people out of her own pocket.
What a wonderful person this is! Those nobles who robbed Mikaela's territory are really nothing!
The nobles were a little confused when they heard this speech.
They have lived here for generations, and Michaela is considered an airborne lord. Why should they give up their territory?
But people all agree with the rule of the golden tree. Mikaela is a demigod and represents half of the golden tree, so people subconsciously think that these territories belong to Mikaela!
"Really! Your Highness Michaela's identity requires our enemies to wake us up! This is so ironic!"
"But what can we do? It is impossible for noble gentlemen to welcome Her Highness Michaela back."
"Oh~ it's true! Maybe I should buy some of His Highness Michaela's wine to support His Highness."
"Your Highness Michaela also makes wine? How come I haven't heard of it?"
"Well, that's a niche brand, I guess it's called Golden Grape Liquid?"
"It's all coolie people who like to drink it. I always thought it was an unfashionable thing."
"But now in order to support His Highness Mikala, I'd better buy some!"
"Okay! I'll buy some too..."
Some wealthy businessmen decided to express their support for His Highness Michaela in this way.
Driven by these businessmen, some ordinary citizens also began to follow suit.
In an instant, the golden grapes brewed by Michaela also became popular.
And people were surprised to find that the wine tasted quite good, and even got better the more they drank. If you don’t drink for a day, you will feel uncomfortable all over!
So the nobles were horrified to find that their wine sales had plummeted.
Golden Grape Liquid has seized a large number of markets!
The huge shortage of funds made them less confident for the war.
They all wanted to know what Michaela's recipe was. So they stepped up their spies to steal each other's formula.
So a group of public thieves appeared in the manor, and they often worked overtime and worked hard. This made other fishermen very embarrassed and joined the ranks of working overtime.
This makes Michaela feel a little dizzy! She felt something was wrong with everyone.
Everyone used to be very happy, but now everyone has no time for entertainment. The whole person also looked a little tired and tense.
Michaela appealed to everyone not to work overtime, but everyone had no shame and refused to work overtime. Michaela was so anxious that she almost cried, and thought everyone was possessed.
The group leader did not expect that his letter would cause such a big stir.
The explosion of golden grape juice was something he didn't expect.
So he hurriedly reminded Michaela of the secret formula.
But Michaela was a little helpless, her formula was clearly stated on the surface. There should be no need to keep it secret...
Recently, the wine grapes in the manor have been ordinary grapes bought from the market.
After all, the wild grapes everyone planted are not yet ripe, so they need to wait for a while.
As the scale of production expanded, Michaela stepping on grapes became a symbolic ritual.
But strangely enough, without His Highness Mikala's stampeding, the wine produced would be simply unpalatable.
So everyone felt that His Highness Mikala must have hidden the real formula. What everyone sees on the surface is only a small part.
The spies had closely monitored all the processes, but they just couldn't find where the problem was.
They don’t believe that wine that has been stepped on by Michaela tastes good! This is so anti-human!
"Damn it! Which step did I miss? If I don't steal the formula, grandpa will definitely tear me apart!"
"If that doesn't work, I should try to steal some of Her Highness Michaela's feet..."
This group of spies had been tortured to the point of going crazy, so some of them with quick minds came up with some crooked ways.
They began to pay attention to Michaela's foot skin left on the ground...
The wine market was crazily crowded by golden grape juice, and the nobles were vomiting blood.
Most of their industries are medicinal materials and wine. Without the wine market, their financial income has been cut in half.
They never thought that Michaela, who looked harmless to humans and animals, would actually give them a fatal blow at a critical place!
And they can't target Mikaela yet, after all, the current public opinion almost all supports Mikaela.
So the nobles gathered and held a meeting overnight to discuss how to deal with this time.
"I don't think these schemes can be thought up by a little girl!" a noble said gloomily.
"Haha, everything started because we lost a duel." Another noble said with a hint.
"Oh? The leader of the Cuckoo Knights? It seems we have all underestimated him!"
"What should we do next?"
"Now that Michaela has won the hearts and minds of the people, we can only let nature take its course and make him our lord."
"Huh?" After hearing this, all the nobles fell into thinking.
"Haha! That's absolutely true! If Her Royal Highness Michaela can't stop the war, then people will be dissatisfied with her!"
"By then her advantage in public opinion will be gone!"
"Yes! And the Cuckoo Knights should also be exterminated. Sending them to the battlefield is the best thing! After all, as the Knights of His Highness Michaela, it is also their mission to repel the invading enemies!"
"..."
The eyes of the nobles moved back and forth, and they had already thought of ways to deal with this crisis.
Since Her Highness Mikala wanted to ascend, they would lift her up and roast her on the fire.
So early the next morning, the nobles drove to the remote Michaela Manor.
"Your Highness Michaela! We were too cautious before! We are here to apologize to you!"
"Yes! Please come back to live in the city! We have vacated the most luxurious palace in the city! That will be your residence!"
"Your Highness Michaela, please forgive us for our mistakes!"
The nobles started crying for their father and mother before they saw Michaela.
Seeing how sincere each of them is, people who don’t know better would think they are so sincere!
Michaela walked out with a confused look on her face, with Rico and the group leader serving beside her.
"What's wrong with you?" Michaela looked at these exaggerated-looking nobles and was a little at a loss.
This was the first time she saw such rich expressions on these people's faces. In the past, the expressions of these people were one of mild ridicule...
"Your Highness, please get in the car! The people of this territory need you!"
A nobleman stepped forward and wanted to pull Mikayla away.
But Rico spit out a mouthful of flame and sprayed it on his hand.
"Ah!!! You bastard..." He quickly changed his words mid-sentence. "Um, what do you mean by this?" His expression looked a little ferocious because of the pain.
"Oh, it's nothing. Your hands are a little dirty. I just disinfect them for you." Rico said calmly.
And Michaela released a healing prayer.
"Are you OK?"
"No...it's okay..." The noble looked at the healed hand with an ugly look on his face.
He didn't dare to touch Michaela anymore.
"Everyone, Your Highness Michaela is living very well here and has no plans to move to another place. You'd better please come back!" the group leader said lightly.
"Haha! Your Majesty's representative will not leave His Highness Michaela alone! We want Her Highness Michaela to make the decision herself!"
Michaela blinked her big eyes. "I won't leave! I like it here very much! Thank you all for giving me this manor!"
"..."
When the nobles around him heard this, their expressions turned ugly. They always felt that Michaela was a bit eccentric.
And the people around them looked at them with contempt.
