It is about ten days from Xianyu Port to Baicheng. These ten days are just fleeting for Gray. After all, if you accidentally sleep overdosed, more than a hundred years have passed.

The same ten days are a long nightmare for the Black Cat. Because it has to face Grey all the time. Or to be more precise, it is facing Grey's endless problems.

Standing under the night, Gray looked up and saw the full moon, so he asked, "Why are the colors of the moon different every day, sometimes red, sometimes silver, sometimes blue?"

"There are three colors of the moon, red represents blood, silver represents luck, and blue represents peace."

“Is there any basis?”

"You ask me who will I ask?"

"Do you believe it without evidence?" Gray exclaimed in surprise, with contempt in his tone.

This made the black cat extremely indignant. It is not scary to have a fool, but what is scary is that this fool actually despises you. This experience is very bad.

...

Passing by the cemetery, Gray saw the funeral procession crying, so he asked, "What are they crying?"

"Don't you cry when your loved one dies?"

"Why do you cry?"

"Because their relatives have left them forever, they miss their relatives!"

"Let me help them." Grey pointed his finger lightly, and the corpse in the coffin suddenly bounced up and turned into a zombie. He scared his relatives and friends and friends to escape in scattered, and the scene was very chaotic.

"Uh... they don't seem to miss it very much."

The black cat looked at it numbly.

...

Seeing a couple snuggling together by a man and a woman, Gray asked, “What are they doing?”

"fall in love."

"What?"

"A prelude to some kind of reproduction."

"I see."

Turning his head, Gray saw two men snuggling together again.

"What about these two?"

"Don't ask, I don't know anything!" The black cat was furious.

For a young lich, the entire ground world is novel and there are countless questions to ask at all times.

For a ghost accompanying the Lich, these problems are completely a nightmare. Yes, a nightmare. As Gray thinks he is already familiar with various nouns in the human world, he begins to move towards a deeper level, trying to analyze all the "common sense", analyze the meaning and value in it bit by bit, and understand it with the Lich's thinking.

This made the ghost feel that his entire value was about to collapse, although he had no values ​​at all.

After passing by a town, after learning that it was Sunday, Gray insisted that he had to do a week like a knight and listen to the priest's sermon.

"As a knight, worshiping is the most basic thing. Isn't there still 'faith' in my knight's oath?" In order to prove his piety, Gray took out the paper that copied the oath and pointed it to others.

Although in fact he is the only one who insists on doing this.

Yilin agreed. Yes, she agreed. Although she was a little hesitant, she finally agreed. The entire army stopped to wait for Gray to worship. I have to say that Yilin was also very accommodating to this "pious" knight.

So more than a thousand people surrounded the entire church.

That day, only Gray and Elin came to worship, and took a black cat. Because no one else could get in. The priest's voice began to tremble when preaching.

“What is the point of human faith in the Holy Spirit?”

"The Holy Spirit will protect mankind."

"How to protect yourself? Do you use magic?"

"Use holy art."

"Do those killed knights also have the Holy Spirit to protect?"

"Maybe they are not religious enough, so they are not blessed."

"How to distinguish between piety and ungod?"

“For example, have you been doing a week or not.”

Originally, the priest wanted to guide him kindly, and then told Gray: "Don't worry about a knight as devout as you." As a result, Gray suddenly made such a sentence...

"That's bad. I'm the only one of us who is 'pious'. Wouldn't we fail?"

This is very embarrassing.

The pastor saw Elin standing behind Grey looking at him coldly, and kept sweating and did not dare to respond, so he could only smile awkwardly. This made Grey fall into deep thought.

"I seem to have discovered a secret about theology," Grey whispered to the Black Cat.

"Shut up, everyone has discovered this secret." The black cat replied in a low voice.

"Mr. Pastor, I hope to discuss the topic of holy art with you next time I come back. I am more interested in this topic."

The pastor hesitated and said, "Actually... there are churches in many places, so you don't have to come to me."

"Why?" Gray's soul fire turned into a question mark again.

Of course there will be no answer to this question.

When he left, the pastor sent Gray a Bible and said to him: "The Holy Spirit is above. Theology is endless. In fact, as a servant of God, I don't know much. If you have any questions, you can find the answers from the book yourself, or ask other pastors. Don't come here to me specifically."

"Mr. Pastor is such a humble person." Grey sighed sincerely.

"Tsk." This cut was sent by a black cat trapped by Gray on his back with his legs.

As soon as I stepped out of the church, the gate closed with a "bang". It was closed very quickly and even locked.

Grey looked back in a daze, and the question mark was almost turning into a lollipop.

For ten days, Gray spent most of her time asking why. Of course, the main target of suffering must be Black Cat. After all, Gray was not as brave as he could tell everyone a lot.

During the same ten days, Yilin's main energy was on "preparation".

In addition to rushing and very little sleep, she spent most of her time attending meetings, writing letters, and negotiating.

"According to custom, the king will preside over the festival himself, and he cannot leave the capital until the festival ends at the end of the month. This is our last time limit."

With an army of only one thousand people, one-third of the troops under Earl Casper, such forces must not be enough to be in the face of the king. Even when it was learned that Earl Casper was willing to hand over one-third of the troops, most of the people in the team felt desperate. Because, before, they had thought of countless ways, but none of them had received more support. This thousand military forces were likely to be all the troops they could obtain before the final showdown.

However, as the heir of the Beshir family, Yilin obviously doesn't think so. She has a greater purpose for this thousand troops.

Earl Casper's allegiance was written into a letter and sent to every corner of the principality and placed on the tables of nobles from all sides. Along the way, she began to use this thousand troops to force the weak nobles to express their opinions, and then unite with the small nobles to force the larger nobles to express their opinions.

"If Baron Idol is willing to support us, then I will promise to double his territory after I have obtained the Duke."

...

"Tell your master that he has only one hour to consider. If he refuses to acknowledge my identity as the sole heir of the Duke of Beshir, then my knight will hang his head on the spear."

...

"Yes, you're right. I'm likely not going to be able to eventually inherit the Principality of Beshir. But if you refuse to surrender to me, you will definitely not be able to see the sun of tomorrow. Even if you run away, I will let my knights rush into your territory, plunder your estate, and then distribute your wealth and weapons to the civilians who are willing to surrender to me."

...

"If Your Excellency Viscount is unwilling to accept a new agreement between you and me, then I don't mind changing a new negotiation partner. For example, your younger brother. As far as I know, he is very interested in inheriting your estate."

After each opponent's compromise, Yilin will reward the other party with some gold coins to show her generosity and financial resources. Of course, she will never forget to leave a little meaningful blood on the gold coins.

Every time the opponent is tough, Elin will order Gray to pull up a tree with his bare hands or defeat an opponent's knight to intimidate.

The girl, who was only seventeen years old, showed extraordinary sophistication.

"Is this really a woman?" Pas asked.

The only remaining knights at hand were all used as quick horse letters, except for those who were injured. Even the mercenaries under Halls and Pass were sent out.

If Pass hadn't been injured, he might have been sent out.

Insufficient staff, Elin's guard was the only one left. A lord only had one guard, commanding another soldier provided by a lord who could rebel at any time. This was almost impossible to happen in normal times.

However, it is not usual now. Moreover, after Grey did so many horrifying things, there may not be anyone who wants to attack the people he protects.

Along the way, in order to intimidate the little nobles, Gray had been ordered to pull out six big trees under the stunned gaze of everyone, defeated three knights, and carried two stone mills...

So, they rolled like snowflakes. Ten days later, when the team arrived in Baicheng, it had already changed from one thousand people at the beginning to three thousand people.

It is not too much to say more, and it is not too little to say less. In any case, it is at least as high as the level of Earl Casper's men. At the same time, Gray's reputation spread quickly with the intentional fuel of Irene.

Ten days later, a white city with birds singing and flowers appeared in front of Grey.

Layered houses, endless plains, vast farmland, fertile land, dense river networks pass by, and arch bridges are built around the city, with endless crowds of people. It has a completely different feeling from any town I encountered before.
