Chapter 90 87.Guests 2
“Your kindness is so impressive”
Just as Lant was thinking about how to use the cooperative mode to tap the magic plant production of his surrounding neighbors, a rich voice sounded beside him, and the speaker was the paladin Bert Call.
"You are exaggerating, Mr. Knight." In the past two days, Huck told Lant about various things in the Northwest Territory in the past two months, especially the rescue of the Baron of Wild Bear Ridge by the two senior priests and the duel between the dragon and the female.
The matter of 5 barbarians. "Compared to you rescuing Baron Geo, I am nothing."
"Ah, you are so humble. Many times it is easier to save people than to transfer benefits." The Paladin shook Lant's hand, "What's more, what I am really grateful for is that you have saved so many believers of the Righteous God. Knowing that
I believe any great man would be pleased that these believers were liberated from the plight of slaves."
"This is what I, as a lord and a believer of His Majesty, should do," Lant said very firmly, as if he had been a believer of the God Emperor since his mother's womb.
"Of course" the paladin said, conjuring up a very simple potion bottle.
"Is it space equipment again? You are so rich," Lant thought to himself.
Albert told him that space equipment can only be sold in Dragon Tooth City or larger cities, and one piece costs 1,000 gold coins. Just now, Rand gave Antreq 1,000 gold coins and asked him to buy one on his behalf.
And it will be delivered when Rand goes to Blue Dragon City later.
"This is a bottle of intermediate knight potion. After drinking it, it will produce a special magical effect, making people feel full of magic or fighting spirit for a long time. After drinking it, a junior knight will have a high probability of breaking through to an intermediate knight."
"This...I'm a little embarrassed about this, right?" Lant was indeed moved.
"This is a reward issued by the Holy See after I reported it to the Holy See," Bert said. "His Majesty is also an important righteous god of the Holy See. Saving His believers is a meritorious service to the Holy See."
So what is the relationship between the Holy See and the royal power? The emperor is a god, and the Holy See also believes in the emperor, so this is the state religion of the empire?
While taking the bottle, Lant was thinking about the relationship between the Empire and the Temple Alliance. From any point of view, it can be said that the two are closely related. A large number of the noble descendants of the Empire are in the religious institutions of the Temple Alliance at all levels.
Many of the true gods who hold teaching positions and are worshiped by religion are also true gods and demigods who are still "on duty" in various institutions of the empire.
"Also, I would like to thank you for taking care of Lite." The Paladin did not notice Lant's thinking.
"That's not necessary. Brother Wright truly cares about the common people. Every human and barbarian in the entire salt mine is grateful for his kindness and equality."
"Then I would like to thank you even more for continuing to take care of him."
For a moment, Lant's smile froze, but it was only for less than a second, "Look what you said, everyone in our territory regards Lite as family, and it is natural for family members to take care of each other."
"That's great," the paladin said with a smile.
There was a huge wave in Lant's heart. Are you really not going to take your children away? The food on the plains is so poor. What should I do if I lose weight due to hunger?
"By the way, I saw a distant relative of mine in Maned Wolf City. His name is Ben, and he is a magician."
"Magician?"
"Yes, an intermediate magician, especially good at drawing magic circles and magic patterns. Two days ago, he told me that he wanted to go to the Galloping Horse Plains. I estimate that he will be in your territory in the next two months. Can you help me take care of it?
?"
"Of course" Lant is very welcome this time. After all, there is no loss in having one more magician.
....
Before the traditional open-air dinner, Lant met the last guest of the day. This guest was a non-magic subordinate of Viscount Elk who would leave tomorrow and was responsible for the Viscount's carriage and horses.
However, when he found Lant alone, his true height was revealed.
"Your Majesty, Viscount Lant, on behalf of the Front Office, I would like to say hello to you." The representative of the Front Office explained his identity directly.
"I have heard about you on the grassland, but unfortunately I have never met anyone who is a real Dianqiansi."
"Although I don't know what you have heard, but the outside world does have many misunderstandings about Dianqianji."
"If you were like the Salt and Iron Company and only focused on mining, how could you have so many misunderstandings?" Lant did not say this.
"But I don't think there is any conflict of interest between the Foreman and you, the Viscount." The representative continued.
"Of course" Lant replied, and said the rest of the sentence in his heart, except that your conspiracy almost killed me.
"Since you, Viscount, think so, I would like to point out that the Earl of the Maned Wolf has been occupying the southern entrance of the Galloping Horse Plains, while Larzan Cattrall, the western count of the Kingdom of Kirislav, has occupied the eastern entrance of the Galloping Horse Plains.
, these big families regard the barbarians on the plains as their domestic slaves.
Now that you have unified the southern part of Benma, the two great nobles will not sit back and watch you grow bigger, but the Palace Secretary is willing to support your development and help you achieve greater success."
"This sounds like the rhetoric of loan sharking, low interest rate, high credit limit, as long as you dare to sign, it will be easy to destroy your family and your life," Lant thought to himself without saying a word.
"...As long as...as long as you can provide some positions to some knights and magicians of the civilian class." The envoy from the front office saw that Lant didn't answer, so he went on.
"Thank you for your suggestion, I will consider it. I have been providing positions for the lowest knights. After all, my subordinates were once slaves and miners at the lowest level." Lant said perfunctorily, preparing to send the envoy away.
"I hope you will really consider it. People who refuse the good intentions of the front minister usually have bad consequences." The messenger said with a vague threat.
"Those who accepted the kindness of the front minister were praised, such as the head goose." Lant still didn't say anything, but just sent the envoy away with gestures.
Rant, who had watched too many spy movies in his previous life, came to Gandalf and Wendy to check if there were any abnormal magic circles in his house after the messenger left. Gandalf also laughed and said that Rant was too sensitive, but Wendy was indeed there afterwards.
A suspicious seed was found on the ground. There was nothing strange about the seed's appearance, but Wendy felt that there were magical fluctuations inside the seed.
Before evening, Viscount Elk discovered that one of his demon-free coachmen was missing.
However, the gloom of the Front Office did not last longer. After all, Lant's 30-meter-long mast was erected outside the castle. The envoys of the Front Office first pretended to be demon-free, and then jumped into the nearby river to escape. All of this was completely monitored.
The hidden magic of a junior mage cannot escape the surveillance of the mage's eye drawn by the magister.
Lant didn't know the real plan of Dianqiansi, but he didn't believe that Dianqiansi was here to help the poor.
.....
Snowflakes continued to fall, and white smoke from campfires rose in large tent camps.
Lant was sitting in the lord's room of the castle, looking out the window at the camp outside the castle.
Behind Rant are Huck, Ryan, Obote, Rohr, Albert, Peter, Dogtooth, Neil, Metz, Lanya, Makoto, Wendy, Mei Wennan and other intermediate knights,
The Demonless Butler, Wright and Gandalf are also there.
"Everyone, I'm going to Blue Dragon City in the next two days. I'll probably have to go to the royal capital and pass through Maned Wolf City when I come back. If it's fast, it'll be one month, if slow, it'll be two months," Lant looked at the crowd.
The house's own relatives, closest followers, guests and confidants.
"During my absence, major matters in the camp are subject to the orders of my father, Baron Harker. The specific arrangements will be made by Lanya. Master Gandalf will leave the camp with me. Maned Wolf City is not too far away, and the time of my departure will not be too far.
It will be a long time, and hopefully when I come back, everything and everyone will be implemented as planned."
