"Your kindness is so impressive"
Just when Landen was thinking about how to use the cooperation model to tap the Magic Plant production of surrounding neighbors, a deep voice sounded around him. The speaker was Paladin Bert·Kaul.
"You are exaggerating, Mr. Knight." In the past two days, Hark told Landen about various things that happened in Northwest Territory in the past two months, especially the two senior priests who saved Wild Bear Ridge Baron, and Dragon Girl singled out five Barbarian. "Compared to your rescue of Baron Jeo, I am nothing."
"Ah, you are so humble. Many times it is easier to save people than to transfer benefits." Paladin shook Landen's hand, "What's more, what I am really grateful for is that you have saved so many True God believers. I believe any great person will feel gratified to know that these believers have been liberated from the plight of slaves."
"This is what I, as a lord and a believer of His Majesty, should do," Landen said very firmly, as if he had been a believer of God Emperor since his mother's womb.
"Of course" said Paladin and transformed into a very simple Magic Potion bottle.
"Is it space equipment again? You are so rich," Landen thought to himself.
Albert told him that space equipment can only be sold in Dragon Tooth City or larger cities, and one piece costs 1000 Gold Coin. Just now Landen also gave Antrechi 1000 Gold Coin, asking him to buy one on his behalf and deliver it when Landen went to Blue Dragon City later.
"This is a bottle of Intermediate Knight potion. After drinking it, it will produce a special magic effect, making people feel magic or full of Battle Qi for a long time. After drinking Junior Knight, there is a high probability that it will break through to Intermediate Knight."
"This... I'm a little embarrassed about this, right?" Landen was indeed moved.
"This is the reward Holy See issued after I reported it to Holy See," Bert said, "His Majesty is also Holy See's most important True God. Saving his followers is a credit to Holy See."
So what is the relationship between Holy See and royal power? The emperor is a god, and Holy See also believes in the emperor, so this is the state religion of the empire?
Landen took the bottle while thinking about the relationship between the empire and Temple Alliance. From any point of view, it can be said that the two are closely related. A large number of aristocratic descendants of the empire are in the Temple Alliance holds teaching positions in religious institutions at all levels, and many of the True God who serve in religion are also True God and Demigod who are still "employed" in various institutions in the empire.
"In addition, I would also like to thank you for taking care of Light." Paladin did not notice Landen's thinking.
"That's even more unnecessary. Light Ascetic Monk truly cares about the common people. Every Human Race 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, Landen's smile froze, but it was only for less than a second. "Look what you said, everyone in our territory regards Light as a family member. Of course, family members should take care of each other."
"That's great" Paladin said with a smile.
Landen felt a huge wave in his heart. Are you really not going to take your children away? The food on the plains is so poor. What should you do if you lose weight due to hunger?
"By the way, I saw a distant relative of mine at Bristle-Wolf City. His name is Ben, and he is a demon Mage"
"Devil Mage?"
"Yes, the intermediate demon Mage is especially good at drawing Magic Array and Magic Pattern. Two days ago, he told me that he wanted to visit Gallop Plains. It is estimated that he will come to your territory in the next two months. Can you help me take care of it?"
"Of course" Landen is very welcome this time. After all, there is no loss in having one more Mage.
Before the traditional open-air dinner, Landen met the last guest of the day. This guest was a Mana-Less subordinate of Viscount Elk who would leave tomorrow and was responsible for Viscount's carriage and horses.
However, when he found Landen alone, his true height was revealed.
"Sir Landen Viscount, on behalf of the Palace Front Department I would like to say hello to you." The representative of the Palace Front Department explained his identity directly.
"I have heard about you guys on Grassland, but unfortunately I have never met the real Palace Front Department people."
"Although I don't know what you have heard, there are indeed many misunderstandings about the Palace Front Department."
"If you are like Salt and Iron Department and only focus on mining, where did you get so many misunderstandings?" Landen did not say this.
"But I think there is no conflict of interest between the Palace Front Department and Viscount," the representative continued.
"Of course" Landen replied, and said the rest of the sentence in his heart, except that your conspiracy almost killed me.
"Since Viscount you think so too, I would like to point out that Count Bristle-Wolf has always occupied the southern entrance of Gallop Plains, while Girislav Kingdom's Western Region Count Larzan Ka Troll occupies the east entrance of Gallop Plains. These big families regard Barbarian on the plain as their domestic slaves.
Now that you have unified the southern part of Gallop, the two great nobles will not sit back and watch you grow bigger, but Palace Front Department 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," Landen thought to himself without saying a word.
"... As long as... as long as you can provide some positions to some civilian Knight and demon Mage" Palace Front Department messenger saw that Landen didn't answer, so he went on.
"Thank you for your suggestion, I will consider it. I have been providing positions for the lowest level Knight. After all, my subordinates were once slaves and miners at the lowest level." Landen said perfunctorily and prepared to send the envoy away.
"I hope you will really consider it. People who refuse Palace Front Department's kindness will usually have bad consequences." The messenger made a vague threat.
"Those who accepted Palace Front Department's kindness were praised, such as Head Goose." Landen still didn't speak, and just sent the messenger away with gestures.
Landen, who had watched too many spy movies in his previous life, came to Gandalf and Wendy to check if there were any abnormal monsters in his house after the messenger left. Magic Array, Gandalf also said with a smile Landen was too sensitive, but then Wendy did find a suspicious seed on the ground. There was nothing strange about the seed's appearance, but Wendy felt that there were Magic Power fluctuations inside the seed.
Before evening, Viscount Elk discovered that one of his Mana-Less coachmen was missing.
However, Palace Front Department's haze did not last longer. After all, Landen's 30-meter-long mast stood outside the castle. Palace Front Department The messenger first pretended to be Mana-Less, and then jumped into the nearby river to escape were completely monitored. The hidden magic of this Junior Mage could not escape the surveillance of Mage's Eye drawn by Archmage.
Landen doesn't know Palace Front Department's real plan, but he doesn't believe that Palace Front Department is here to help the poor.
Snowflakes continued to fall, and white smoke from campfires rose in large tent camps.
Landen is sitting in the lord's room of the castle, looking at the camp outside the castle from the window.
Behind Landen are Hark, Ryan, Obert, Raul, Albert, Pete, Fang, Neil, Mace, Lannia, Makoto, Wendy, Mevenan and other Intermediate Knight, Mana-Less Butler, Light 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 Royal Capital again, and I'll have to pass by Bristle-Wolf City when I come back. If it's fast, it's one month, if it's slow, it's two months." Landen looked at the room full of his relatives, followers, guests and confidants.
"During my absence, major matters in the camp will be decided by my father Hark Baron. Lannia will be responsible for the specific arrangements. Gandalf Mage will leave the camp with me. Bristle-Wolf City is not far away and my absence will not be long. I hope that when I come back, all people and things will be implemented as planned."
