Chapter 1952 How the Legendary Farmer was Found
"I am not in any dealings with a witch! If you are looking for a witch, then that woman that you brought here was the witch! She tried to curse me, but it backfired on her because I am protected by nature spirits!" Farmer Vincent stated to prove his innocence.
"I believe you." The leader of the paladins stated.
"Really! Thank goodness." Farmer Vincent stated but he noticed that the paladins were still gripping on their swords.
"If you believe me then why are you still pointing your swords at me!" Farmer Vincent stated.
"I might believe you, but we must put that woman to trial to make sure. What if you are not telling the truth? We must detain you in order to make sure. Well, we might set you free if you pledge to the gods that your crops will solely belong to us." The leader of the paladins stated.
"You! I thought people of the church should not be greedy but all of you are like that pig of a noble!" Farmer Vincent shouted.
"It seems that I need to cut your tongue in order to make you more subservient!" The paladin leader stated as he swung his sword toward Farmer Vincent's chest in order to scare him.
The leader of the paladins knew that he can just heal the farmer later, but he did not expect the sudden appearance of the barrier of vines. The leader of the paladins was shocked to the point that he was unable to control his strength. The force of the swing made the vines push Farmer Vincent back which made him teeter towards the edge.
"No!" Farmer Vincent stated as he started to feel weak as his mana was still used to create that vine barrier.
In the end, Farmer Vincent was unable to push his body up. He fell down the cliff with his head full of remorse. Farmer Vincent finally started to cry like a teenager as his bravado was all a front to make him look stronger. In the end, he can see the rocks below as his cause of death.
"I do not want to die! Quin... help me!" Farmer Vincent shouted with what he can muster as he was running out of breath.
"If you give me permission to use your crops then I might help you." Adrian stated as he suddenly made time stop with only him and Farmer Vincent suspended in the air.
[You have produced a time anomaly.]
[Calculating the effect on the timeline should Farmer Vincent live...]
[Detected major changes in the timeline should Farmer Vincent live.]
[Danger of existence will be purged by the Time Wraiths in an hour.]
"Wow! They are gone. Thank you so much!" Farmer Vincent stated but he saw that Adrian was incredibly serious.
"What are you planning to do now?" Adrian asked.
"I can just assume another identity and go to another territory to live quietly. Maybe even start a family." Farmer Vincent stated.
"I am sorry, but you cannot do that because Time Wraiths will kill you in an hour if you do something like that." Adrian stated.
"Time Wraiths? What are those?" Farmer Vincent asked with a worried expression.
"They are scraps of fallen time gods that make sure that the timeline is preserved. I do not want to tell you this, but this is the past and I am a being from the future of this timeline. I can kill you myself but that would leave a bad taste in my mouth." Adrian stated.
"Kill me! You helped me live and now you want to kill me? Are you a demon!?" Farmer Vincent exclaimed.
"Yes, I am a demon. And even if I do not kill you, the Time Wraiths will. So, you should keep quiet while I think of a way." Adrian stated as Farmer Vincent started crying again.
