Unparalleled Beast Soul

Chapter [-] Someone is calculating

The southwestern province of Beamon Kingdom, Grai City. 【】

When Leon walked out of the city lord's mansion, the afternoon sun shone on him, making it warm and warm.

Holding the two certificates in his hand, he had a feeling of unreality.

Originally, when he came to Grai City, Leon just wanted to fight for a shelter for the Kuanghammer tribe, but now what he got was a title and a territory. The gap between the goal and the result was unimaginable.

Even if this tempting big cake might contain poisonous ingredients, Leon would still hesitate to swallow it.

We have a good appetite and strong resistance!

"Congratulations, Baron Leon..." Priest Christina smiled and said, "The first lord of Thrall!"

Thrall is the name of the new territory. When signing the document, Leon asked Christina to name his new territory. This is an honor and represents Leon's gratitude to the priest of the temple.

In the divine language older than Mongolia, Thrall represents hope and light.

"Thank you! Christina-sama, thank you very much this time. Without you, I really don't know when I would be able to fulfill my wish." Leon expressed his gratitude again.

"I'm just doing what I can..." Christina shook her head and said, "You deserve both the title and the territory, and even though this territory is big, it's not good, and it costs [-] gold coins a year." Taxes, they are deliberately making things difficult for you!"

"Even if it's my Grai Temple, I can't spend such a large amount of money at once!"

The officiant had doubts in his heart. Yesterday, Earl Astin clearly showed his intention to give in, but today his attitude is completely different. It must be a special reason for him to confront her head-on without compromise.

If Leon hadn't accepted this territory, and unexpectedly took out a hundred magic crystal coins, the final result could only be to go back with the empty title of baron.

She vaguely had some thoughts in her mind, but it was difficult to tell Leon directly.

In fact, even if she didn't say anything, Leon could still guess something.

King Behemoth's royal power and divine power stand side by side, the kingdom, army, and temple are interdependent and check and balance each other, and there are many factions and internal frictions. This is one of the important reasons why the Behemoth orcs have repeatedly retreated from the elves.

Obviously, Earl Astin's making things difficult for him was most likely at the behest of a certain important figure, otherwise he would be full to show that he was against Christina and Archbishop Farnes?

This in turn may involve some power struggle within the kingdom.

To be honest, Leon hated these intrigues very much. Under the pressure of the enemy, if the Beamon orcs could not unite as one, they would simply be seeking their own death.

But the facts forced him to make a choice. If he wanted to survive here without any backing, he would be swallowed up sooner or later, 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, at least Archbishop Farnes has an inseparable relationship.

"By the way, Lady Christina, this is my wish for the temple." Leon took out an animal skin bag from his bosom and handed it to Christina: "Please accept it!"

This animal skin pocket also contained magic crystal coins worth [-] gold coins. After Leon came to Grai City, he exchanged the gold bars and mithril with him through the Chamber of Commerce in Grai City for easy-to-carry magic crystals. coins and gold coins.

Money is the only way to do things. In order to win a piece of territory for the Kuanghammer tribe, Leon doesn't mind using money to pave the way at critical moments.

However, his plan has not yet been formally implemented. Christina's appearance has brought about a great turnaround. Of course, this money has been saved, so after paying this year's territory tax, he is still very rich.

"That's too much..." Holding the money bag heavily filled with magic crystal coins, the beautiful priest was a little embarrassed: "I have received your love for the temple, but you should keep the money to take care of the tribe! "

The income of the temple mainly comes from the worship of the believers. The temples in the five major provinces are definitely not short of money, but the church below will definitely not have enough money, because apart from itself, the temple also manages and supports the missionary work at the grassroots level So and Church.

The usual expenses of priests and templars are not a small amount. If a priest is not good at management, it is normal to have a deficit.

That's why Christina was so angry when she heard Earl Astin's request for an annual tax of [-] gold coins.

"You may not know that our tribe is not short of money." Leon said with a smile: "Not long ago, I led the tribe's Thunder Beast camp to capture the Dolei City occupied by the goblin and goblin tribe, and gained more than ten The spoils of ten thousand gold coins."

"It is for this reason that the third legion of the elf unicorns sent troops to encircle and suppress us, so I took the Kuanghammer tribe to find a way to cross the Nucang River and migrate here."

Don't talk about Christina about this matter, even the entire Beamon Kingdom knows about it. In fact, with such a military record, there is no problem for Leon to be named a Viscount.

It's just that it's too difficult for this record to be recognized by the kingdom, and there are many reasons for it. Leon understands it now, and Christina fully understands it.

She gave Leon a deep look, and said angrily, "Then what else did you not tell me?"

There was a strange feeling in Leon's heart. This Christina seemed to be a gentle and amiable big sister, who was blaming her mischievous younger brother, but she cared about her.

Although the two have only known each other for a day or two, their relationship quickly became close, perhaps this is fate.

From another point of view, Leon's development in the Grai area will require the support of the temple and Christina in the future, so let alone [-] gold coins, he can readily take out even [-] gold coins.

"No more!" Leon said with a smile: "So you can accept it with confidence, don't worry that I will have no money to spend!"

"Okay! Then I won't be polite, the church's expenses are a little tight recently!" Christina took the money.

She knew that Leon wasn't the kind of person who would pretend to be obedient when he got a cheap offer. Since it was a dedication to the temple, she had no reason to refuse it.

The two talked while walking along the street. Leon asked Christina a lot of things related to the territory, but Christina knew everything.

The Swan family is a superior family, and Christina is even from a famous family. Although she is a priest, she is no stranger to these things, which made Leon understand a little bit more about the nobility and the territorial system.

Now that he has obtained the territory, Leon is ready to leave immediately and return to Colinworth Territory. Thousands of members of the Hammer tribe are waiting for his return.

"Uncle, uncle!"

Just when Leon was about to say goodbye to Christina, Leon's familiar soft call suddenly came from beside him.

He turned his head and found that the little cat girl Xiao Mi was poking her head out from the alley next to the hotel, her expression was very nervous, looking left and right as if she was on guard for something.

"Master Christina, please wait for me."

Leon's heart moved, and he immediately walked towards the alley.

His intuition told him that there must be an important reason for the little catwoman to find him.

Catwoman little loli shrank into a dark corner, only a pair of big eyes shimmering, she hurriedly grabbed Leon's hand and said: "Uncle, you are in danger, I heard that someone is going to deal with you!"

"Treat me?" Leon couldn't help being stunned: "Who is it?"

"I just heard that I got several Black Jack's subordinates here, and they are terrifying..." Kitty Catwoman's eyes showed a hint of fear: "You must be careful!"

Suddenly, Leon felt a sense of vigilance, as if a cold gaze fell on his back, and disappeared in an instant.

Someone is watching!Leon's heart is clear.

The little catwoman didn't lie to herself, she found danger and ran over to warn her.

"Aren't you afraid that they will find out that you have informed me?" Leon couldn't help but reached 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, obviously the black jack gave her a great deterrent.

But even so, she still made a choice in action.

Leon's heart warmed, he leaned over and grabbed her little hand and said, "Come 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."

Catwoman obediently let Leon pull her. She raised her small face and asked softly, "Is there enough food there? If I can, I'll go!"

"You can eat as much as you want!" Leon chuckled and led her out of the alley.

Leon felt that cold gaze again, like a snake letter spit out by a poisonous snake lurking in the darkness.

Leon suddenly turned his head, his dark eyes showing murderous intent!

Passing by on the other side of the street, a man in gray turned and hurriedly mixed into the crowd.

Leon slowly looked away, and walked back to the hotel door with Xiaomi without stopping.

He met the surprised eyes of the priestess and said, "Master Christina, I would like to ask you to do me a favor."

Collingworth Castle, Lord's House.

In the study, Viscount Mailer had just finished his afternoon tea, which was his usual habit.

The Viscount put down the napkin, and suddenly asked, "Desel, is there any problem with Gray City?"

"Please rest assured..." The young warrior standing aside said in a deep voice: "The people I sent out last night have just returned, and the matter has been settled. I think the Crazy Hammer tribe will never wait for their leader to return!"

"Very good!" The Viscount smiled with satisfaction.

"People from the Rock Fortress will arrive at night, and we can do it tomorrow!"
