Chapter 101 Someone is calculating
Chapter 101 Someone is planning
The southwestern province of the Kingdom of Bemon, Grey.
When Leon walked out of the lord's mansion, the afternoon sun shone on him, warm and gentle.
Holding the two certificates in his hand, he felt unreal.
Originally, when he came to Grey City, Leon just wanted to win a place for the Mad Hammer Tribe, but now he got a title and a territory. The gap between goals and results is unimaginable.
Even though this tempting big cake might contain poisonous stuffing, Leon resolutely wanted to swallow it.
We have a good appetite and strong resistance!
"Congratulations, Baron Leon..." Priest Critina smiled and said, "Sar leads the first lord!"
Thrall is the name of the new territory. When signing the documents, Leon asked Clitina to name his new territory - an honor that represents Leon's gratitude to the priest of the temple.
Among the oldest divine words of Mongolia, Thrall represents hope and light.
"Thank you! Lord Klitina, I really thank you this time. If it weren't for you, I really don't know when I would get what I want." Leon expressed his gratitude again.
"I'm just doing what I can..." Kreitina shook her head and said, "You deserve it, whether it's a title or a territory. Although this territory is large, it's not good. She even needs 10,000 gold coins a year. They are deliberately making things difficult for you!"
"Even my Gray Temple can't afford that much money at once!"
The priest was confused. Yesterday, Earl Astin clearly showed a sense of surrender, but today his attitude was completely different. He was facing her with a firm back and without compromise, which must be a special reason.
If Leon had not accepted this territory and unexpectedly took out a hundred magic crystal coins, the final result would have been to go back with the baron's empty title.
She had some thoughts in her mind, but it was hard to tell Leon.
In fact, even if she didn't say it, Leon could guess something.
The kingdom of Bemon kingdom and the divine power are coexisting, and the kingdom, army and temple are interdependent and checked and balanced, and there are many factions to keep internal friction. This is one of the important reasons why the Bemon beast tribe repeatedly retreated in the face of the elves.
Obviously, the difficulties that Earl Astin has made against him are most likely due to the instruction of a major figure, otherwise he would have been full and obviously had a carriage against Kreitina and Archbishop Farns?
This may in turn involve some power struggles within the kingdom.
To be honest, Leon is very disgusted with these intrigues. Under the pressure of the enemy, the Bimon Beasts cannot unite, which is simply a way to die.
But the facts forced him to make a choice. If he wanted to survive here and had no backing behind him, he would sooner or later be swallowed up, such as the Colinworth Leader who was eyeing the Crazy Hammer Tribe.
At least for now, in the eyes of others, he must be in the camp of the temple, and at least Archbishop Farns is inseparable.
"By the way, Lord Kreitina, this is my little intention to worship the Temple Hall." Leon took out a pocket of animal skin from his arms and handed it to Kreitina: "Please accept it!"
The animal skin pocket also contains magic crystal coins worth 10,000 gold coins. After coming to Grey City, Leon directly exchanged the gold bars and mitral he carried with him through the Chamber of Commerce of Grey City to easy-to-carry magic crystal coins and gold coins.
It is easier to do things with money. In order to win a piece of land for the Mad Hammer Tribe, at the critical moment, Leon didn't mind using money to pave the way.
However, his plan has not been officially implemented yet, and the appearance of Kretina has brought a huge turnaround. Of course, this money has been saved, so after paying this year's territory tax, he is still very affordable.
"There are too many..." Holding a heavy wallet filled with magic crystal coins, the beautiful priest was a little embarrassed: "I have received your feelings for the Holy Church, but you should keep this money for taking care of the tribe!"
The income of the temple mainly comes from the worship of believers. The temples in the five major provinces are definitely not short of money, but the temples placed below will never be able to make money, because in addition to themselves, the church also manages and supports grassroots missionaries and churches.
Priests, Templars' usual expenses are not small. If a priest is not good at managing, it is normal to lose money.
That's why Kritina was so angry when she heard Earl Astin demanding an annual tax of 10,000 gold coins.
"You may not know that our tribe is not short of money for spending." Leon smiled and said, "Not long ago, I led the tribe's Thunder Beast Battle Camp to capture the city of Dorae, occupied by the Goblin Diya tribe, and obtained more than 100,000 gold coins of trophy."
"It is precisely because of this reason that the Third Legion of the Elf Unicorns sent troops to encircle and suppress us, so I took the Mad Hammer Tribe to find a way to cross the Nucang River and migrate here."
Not to mention Kretina, even the entire Beaumont Kingdom is unknown. In fact, such military achievements make Leon a viscount.
But it is too difficult to get the recognition of the kingdom for this record. There are many reasons. Leon understands it a little bit now, while Kretina understands it completely.
She glanced at Leon deeply and said in a slight angrily: "So what else did you not tell me?"
A strange feeling appeared in Leon's heart. This Kretina seemed to be a gentle and friendly elder sister, complaining about her naughty brother, but blamed her for caring.
Although the two have only been together for one or two days, their relationship quickly becomes closer, or this is fate.
From another perspective, Leon's development in the Gray area will inevitably lead to the support of the Temple and Kretina in the future, so he can take out even 10,000 gold coins without the support of 100,000 gold coins.
"No more!" Leon smiled and said, "So you can accept it with confidence, don't worry that I will have no money to spend it!"
"Okay! Then I'm not polite. The expenses in the church have been a little nervous recently!" Kritina took the money.
She knew that Leon was not the kind of person who was good at getting a bargain. Since she was dedicating to the temple, she had no reason to refuse.
The two walked along the street and talked. Leon asked Kreitina a lot of things related to the territory, while Kreitina knew everything.
The Swan clan is a superior clan, and Kretina is from a famous family. Although she is a priest, she is not unfamiliar with these things, which makes Leon more familiar with the nobles and territorial systems.
Since he had obtained the territory, Leon was about to set off to return to Colinworth immediately, and thousands of tribes from the Mad Hammer Tribe were waiting for his return.
"Uncle, uncle!"
Just as Leon wanted to say goodbye to Kretina, a familiar soft call suddenly came from next to him.
He turned his head and found that the kitten girl Xiao Mi was poking her head out of the alley next to the hotel, looking very nervous, looking around and looking around, as if she was alert to something.
"Sir Kritina, please wait for me."
Leon's heart moved and he immediately walked towards the alley.
Intuition told him that there must be an important reason for this kitten woman to look for him.
The cat girl little loli shrank to a dark corner, with only a pair of big eyes flashing with a glimmer of light. She hurriedly grabbed Leon's hand and said, "Uncle, you are in danger. I heard someone is going to deal with you!"
"Treat me?" Leon couldn't help but be stunned: "Who is it?"
"I just heard that I saw several Black Jack's men here, and they were very scary..." A hint of fear appeared in the catwoman's eyes: "You must be careful!"
Suddenly, Leon felt a little alert in his heart, and a cold gaze seemed to fall on his back and disappeared in an instant.
Being targeted! Leon's heart is shiny.
The kitten girl did not deceive herself. She found that there was danger and ran over to warn her.
"Aren't you afraid that they will find out you'll sue me?" Leon couldn't help but reach out and touched her little head.
Xiao Mi bit her lip and murmured, "Xiao Mi is not afraid, Xiao Mi runs very fast!"
She said she was not afraid, but her thin body was trembling. It was obvious that the black Jack gave her a great intimidation.
But even so, she still made a choice in action.
Leon felt warm in his heart, leaned over and grabbed her little hand and said, "You go with me, this place is not suitable for you to stay any longer. I will take you to a place where no one bullies you."
The kitten woman was very obedient and asked Leon to pull her. She raised her small face and asked softly: "Can you have enough food there? If you can, I will go!"
"You can eat as much as you want!" Leon smiled and took her out of the alley.
Leon felt the cold gaze again, like a snake letter lurking in the darkness.
Leon turned around suddenly, his dark eyes revealed his murderous intent!
Passing by the corner of the street on the other side, a man in gray turned around and hurriedly mingled into the crowd.
Leon slowly withdrew his gaze and kept taking Xiao Mi back to the hotel door.
He said in surprise to the priestess, "Mr. Kritina, I want to ask you for a favor."
Colinworth Castle, Lord's Mansion.
In the study, Viscount Meller had just finished his afternoon tea, which was his usual habit of not being able to shake.
Viscount put down his napkin and suddenly asked, "Disel, there is no problem with the city of Gray?"
"Please rest assured..." The young warrior standing beside said in a deep voice: "The people I sent out last night just returned, and the matter has been done. I think the Crazy Hammer Tribe will never wait until their leader returns!"
"Vissue!" Viscount smiled satisfied.
