Chapter 1950: How the Legendary Farmer was Lost II

Adrian looked closely and a crop was suddenly growing from the neck of the witch. Since he was not able to see it, Sirius was the one that observed from the shadows. Sirius fed the memories that he had on what happened earlier and Adrian could not believe it himself.

It was not Farmer Vincent that created such an event but one of the blessings that was given to him. When the witch tried to inject some of her mana into the body of Farmer Vincent, the blessing activated, and her spell backfired. Not only did the spell backfire but the blessing of the fae activated to put a natural curse on the witch.

A natural curse is different from a curse from a devil contractor. Natural curses are life forces of nature forced upon an individual and it can vary in range. Some fae can even curse you with always being drenched in the rain with worse cases being subjected to a lightning strike. This is the reason why natural curses are more in the realm of death magic which means that Farmer Vincent was blessed by a Faekin using death magic.

"Help me! Farmer Vincent is being helped by a witch!" The witch shouted out loud as she could not understand what was the curse that affected her neck.

The crop that was growing on the neck of the witch was a rhubarb plant. It was getting germinated and absorbing nutrients from the life force of the witch. It was not deadly, but it would slowly feed on her life force until she becomes too weak to even move. She tried pulling out the plant but all she felt was extreme pain.

"I would not pull that out if I were you. You will have a bloody neck and potentially die. You will remain like that for a month until the crop pops out of your body. Let this be a warning for daring to even harm me. How did I know that?" Farmer Vincent stated as if he has known it for so long.

The witch looked at Farmer Vincent with a terrified expression as she could see a small mushroom entity sitting on his shoulder while smiling eerily. The witch was able to see the entity or rather the Faekin that gave him the blessing. She can only run towards the town and yell that Farmer Vincent is conspiring with a witch.

She even shouted out loud that the crops that he planted were all grown due to the blood of the living. She might have embellished some things, but the news of a witch is something that terrifies everyone in this time. The Church of Light has painted all witches to be evil even though not all of them have contracts with the devil.

Witches are just a group of women that has a specialized field of magic study. The townspeople did not immediately believe that Farmer Vincent was conspiring with a witch because a lot of people have been smearing him. Still, the plant growing on the neck of the yelling woman was something that made others believe it to be real.

Unfortunately for Farmer Vincent, a group of paladins from the Church of Light was already there. A group of five paladins were first sent to the town to check. These paladins were hungry for any achievement as they wanted to become Exalted Paladins who guard the pope. As soon as they heard the news of a witch or a witch' helper, the five paladins immediately started to mount and head towards the farm.

"Cursed woman! Take us to the witch' helper and we might cleanse you of the curse that is affecting you." The leader of the paladins stated as the witch immediately bowed to them and led the way.

"It might not have been part of the plan, but I shall have that brat die because of what he has done!" The witch thought but what she did not know is that her devil contractor already abandoned her. The devils hated the church of light and do not want any interaction with them. It also meant that the life force getting sucked from her became stronger, but she could not feel it because of the punishment of the devil.

"You should start running away now." Adrian stated as he appeared before Farmer Vincent.

"They would not believe her. She is not even from this town which is why they would ignore her." Farmer Vincent stated as he picked up his trowel.

"A plant is literally growing from her neck because of you. The witch that tried to harm you has entered the town and told the people that you are a witch' helper." Adrian stated as he suddenly went quiet which made Farmer Vincent feel anxious.

"Why did you suddenly become quiet?" Farmer Vincent asked as he knew that the nature spirit (Adrian) in front of him would like to have access to the golden wheat that he stole.

"I really think that you should start running away now. She made contact with paladins of the Church of Light." Adrian stated which made Farmer Vincent's face become pale.

"Even if she told them, I did nothing wrong. You told me that she is a witch! I can tell them that." Farmer Vincent stated.

"Between you who can make powerful crops grow and a wailing woman with a crop growing from her neck, which one of you will you think paladins that want achievement want to believe? Due to the natural curse that your blessing has done to the witch, you are giving a faint sense of death energy. They might mistake it for the power of the devil as they are dumb about things like that." Adrian stated which suddenly made Farmer Vincent weak in the knees.

"Oh! They are here!" Adrian stated as a loud voice could suddenly be heard from outside the farm.

"Farmer Vincent! We have testimonies that you have colluded with a witch!"
