The Invincible Overlord of Heroes

"I invited Bishop Elena to come over. When the temple wanted to build a church in my Qingfeng City, I said that Bishop Elena has the obligation to assist me in governing and appeasing the people."

Elena was indeed invited by Xu Lai. She didn't want to come at first. It was at Xu Lai's "sincere" invitation that she made this trip for the sake of their "friendship".

People are "loving and righteous", and Xu Lai couldn't let Elena be punished because of him, so he took the blame on himself without hesitation.

Pella frowned and said: “This is an obligation that every bishop and every priest must accept.

But Your Excellency Xu Lai, this obligation must be limited. Staying at a fixed office location is the temple's restriction for every priest who is qualified to handle parish affairs independently.

Otherwise, when you or others need a pastor, why don't you search all over the world? "

What Pella said made sense, but it wasn't what Xu Lai wanted.

If this guy just wanted to punish Xu Lai, Xu Lai could hold his nose and endure it for the sake of Elena's future life in the temple.

But from the look of this guy, it was obvious that he was here to cause trouble.

And he also knew that he had no good solution to Xu Lai, so he caught the unruly Elena talking.

If Xu Lai let Elena be punished because of him, wouldn't it chill other people's hearts?

"What Bishop Pella said is wrong. What the temple requires is Bishop Elena to assist me.

Is there anything wrong with Bishop Elena being in my city? "

"The bishop of the temple is not your personal tool. How could it be that wherever you are, we will follow you!"

"Ahem, what I just said may not be accurate.

I mean, from this moment on, Conaston is already my city.

So, Bishop Elena is here to assist me, is there anything wrong with that? "

"The city you rule? If I remember correctly, this city was built brick by brick by the Aini family.

What qualifications do you have to become the ruler of this city? This is a serious violation of the noble spirit and noble agreement. "

Xu Lai was too lazy to argue with him, but he also didn't want to quarrel with Pella, so he said to him:

"Bishop Pella, because of my status as an honorary knight of the temple, I have repeatedly tolerated your Excellency.

But if you insist on provoking me again and again, then I will have no choice but to be rude. "

Pella was stunned and said in surprise as if she didn't understand:

"Your Excellency Xu Lai, do you want to listen to what you are talking about?"

Xu Lai smiled and said: "I don't have to listen, I know exactly what I said.

On the contrary, if you don't understand, you can choose to go back to the office and listen slowly, or sit on the transmission array and listen wherever you like! "

After opening the city gate, Elvi led the Seraphs to occupy and close the teleportation array.

If this end of the teleportation array is occupied, no one can come to the city through the teleportation array without Xu Lai's permission, including using teleportation spells.

Of course, if Count Aini had other positioning points besides the teleportation array, Xu Lai would have no choice.

And if Pella is to be sent away, the teleportation array must also be activated.

If someone suddenly returns at this time, there will be certain risks.

However, there were 30 Seraphs and Elvi there, so Xu Lai expected that Aini would come back at this time.

Seeing the aggressive Xu Lai and Roland beside him, who wanted to come over and take him away at any time, Perla had to bow her head first.

Otherwise, Xu Lai would really lock him in the office, or even send him away directly, without him even having a chance to speak.

The most important thing is that Pera knows that Xu Lai dares to do this.

"Your Excellency Xu Lai, please calm down.

I know you're angry right now, but anger doesn't solve the problem.

Count Ani has just contacted me using magic communication. He said that he is willing to sit down and talk with you, and is also willing to compensate you. "

"Sit down and talk to me? Make amends with me?"

Perla said: "Yes."

"What's the condition? Do I have to quit Conaston?"

Pella nodded and said: "Yes, even if you occupy Conaston now, there is no legal basis for your rule.

In addition, you will also need to be resisted by all the imperial nobles, and you will suffer the reputation of the following sins, which is not worth the loss at all.

And if you are willing to give up Conaston, Earl Aini is willing to entrust you with your current territory of Qingfeng City, which extends all the way to Stone Castle and nearby towns and villages.

On these lands, there is a fortress-level city, two towns, and double-digit villages.

Such a vast territory, if placed in a plain area, would already be the size of a territory that could only be enjoyed by an earl.

Of course, Count Aini himself cannot make you a count, but he can help you promote him to a viscount. "

Xu Lai touched his chin. The capital offered by Aini was not small. It stretched from Qingfeng City to Hard Rock Castle. This territory was not accessible to ordinary earls in the plain area.

Moreover, going west from the Stone Castle, there were some towns and villages that used to be there, but now they have been attacked by the orcs, and no nobles can care about them anymore.

If the land to the west of Stone Castle is also included, it is not a county, and even an average marquis does not have such a large territory.

But grasslands have always been vast and sparsely populated, and the land is not that precious.

The Magical World does not have to live by water like Earth, but there are really few places suitable for building cities, especially big cities.

The key is that this is border territory. If Xu Lai takes it in, he will inevitably have to bear the obligation to fight against the orcs.

Of course, even if he doesn't take the responsibility, the orcs will harm him as soon as they cross the border.

"Exchanging Stone Castle for Conaston, Ani made a good calculation."

"Don't worry, in addition to land and title, Count Aini has other compensation."

"Then Bishop Pera, you might as well explain it clearly."

Time was in a hurry, and Pella didn't have time to understand it clearly, so she could only say vaguely:

"As far as I know, the Aini family has accumulated quite a lot over the years, and I think the monetary compensation will not be small."

Xu Lai raised his head and looked at the towering castle in front of him, and suddenly said to Pella: "The wealth the bishop mentioned is not in that castle."

Pella's expression changed, and she said to Xu Lai with fear on her face: "Xu Lai, what do you want to do?"

Xu Lai was stunned and said with a smile: "Your Excellency, Bishop, what are you doing? I just asked a question."

Pella said with an ugly face: "Xu Lai, do you know why the temple has no response to the evidence you submitted?"

Originally Xu Lai had no intention of talking nonsense with Pella, but his words just aroused Xu Lai's interest again.

"It seems that Your Excellency the Bishop is very clear."

Pella nodded and said: "We are not just excusing Aini, what Aini did is definitely wrong.

For this reason, the temple has withdrawn all support for Count Aini.

If you have time, you can make some inquiries in Conaston and you should know whether I have lied to you. "

Xu Lai said nonchalantly: "I'm not interested in knowing this. Bishop, please continue."

Pella hesitated for a moment and had no choice but to continue: "The temple originally wanted to wait until the war was over before asking Count Aini to give an explanation to you and the temple.

You must also be very aware of the current situation, Mr. Xu Lai.

Now, not only the empire, but the entire human camp has fallen into a full-scale war, and we are now in an extremely weak period.

The reason why several crimson bishops treated you coldly is because they hope you can exercise enough restraint.

Neither the empire nor humanity can withstand any internal strife now, not to mention that Count Aini is now willing to give in and give you adequate compensation. "

"What kind of compensation is enough?"

Pella was stunned and replied: "Your Excellency Xu Lai, if you have any conditions, you can definitely put them forward.

If you don't want to talk to Count Aini, our temple is willing to convey it to you. "

Xu Lai ignored what Pera just said and continued to ask: "Let me ask you, what kind of compensation is enough?"

Pella didn't understand what was going on with Xu Lai, and said in confusion:

"Your Excellency Xu Lai..."

"I ask you, what kind of compensation can be worth my life?

What kind of compensation can be worth the lives of tens of thousands of people in Qingfeng City? "

Pella swallowed and carefully explained: "Your Excellency Xu Lai, aren't you fine now?

As far as I know, Qingfeng City didn't seem to lose anything under the attack of the orcs. "

"Yes, because I came back in time, not many people died in Qingfeng City.

But what if I don’t have time to come back? "

Pella was speechless for a moment, not knowing how to answer Xu Lai.

“When Aini colluded with the orcs and wanted to kill Qingfeng City, why didn’t your temple tell him not to fight internally?

After I submitted enough evidence to your temple, why didn't you warn him not to engage in internal conflict? Instead, you gave him the opportunity to assassinate me.

He could assassinate me the first time, but couldn't he assassinate me the second time?

Do I have to put my life in the hope that he won't do anything to me again? "

There were several questions that Pera didn't know how to answer.

But Xu Lai did not let the other party go, but continued:

"Didn't your temple say that you want to stop the internal strife? Then go and ask Aini to surrender.

I promise you that as long as he is willing to surrender, I can spare his life.

I can even let him take away his family and enough wealth for their whole family to live without worries for a lifetime.

This is my only and only condition.

If he is unwilling, then tell him for me that I will make him pay blood for blood and life for life! "

Xu Lai's complete unwillingness to communicate also completely angered Pella.

He suppressed his anger and said to Xu Lai: "Your Excellency Xu Lai, please calm down. Conaston has been the territory of the Aini family since ancient times, and it is impossible for Earl Aini to give in.

If you must do this, it is likely that the entire grassland will fall into the quagmire of war again.

Even if you get Kaunaston Castle, no noble will support you, they will only unite to attack you. "

Xu Lai ignored Pella, but nodded to Roland.

Under Xu Lai's mind control, Roland instantly understood Xu Lai's meaning.

He led several Holy Light Knights to dismount, one person at a time, grabbed Pella and other priests by their collars, and lifted them high.

Under the leadership of Roland, a dozen Holy Light Knights opened the way ahead, pushing aside the crowds blocking the way.

Roland and the others, holding Pella and others high, walked toward the teleportation array.

"You, what do you want to do?

Xu Lai, do you really want to be an enemy of the temple? "

As a dignified archbishop and the leader of faith in the entire grassland, Pella's status is so noble that in the eyes of the common people, he is even above the ruler Count Aini.

However, such a big shot was actually picked up like a little chicken today.

A golden light was flowing from the sacred staff in Pella's hand.

The seventh-level archbishop is still an archbishop who has trained on his own. The archbishop has the most luxurious mage equipment in the entire grassland. Even if he is approached by others, he may not be afraid of a recruited Holy Light Knight.

But as a holy unit, many of Pella's spells are not very effective against the Holy Light Knight, such as punishment and other spells.

But just when Pella's magic was about to be activated, Xu Lai suddenly pulled out the prophet sword in his hand and said loudly to Pella:

“I am an honorary knight personally consecrated by His Majesty the God of War and recognized by His Majesty the Pope.

Archbishop Pella, do you really want me to be an enemy of the temple? "

After Xu Lai's words fell, Pella seemed to be under a silent spell in an instant. She had already channeled almost all the spells, but she couldn't release them.

Xu Lai dared to go out on the street and humiliate him in public, but Pella did not dare to really provoke a war with Xu Lai.

First, Xu Lai was right. As an honorary knight, Xu Lai did not hold any real power in the temple, but his status was not low.

Moreover, Xu Lai was recognized by the God of War and the Pope, and had fought side by side with the Crimson Archbishops such as Duer, Kemel, Wright, and Neil in the temple.

After studying it, Wright and the Crimson Bishop decided to try their best to suppress it and prevent new internal strife between the empires, but they would never allow him to break with Xu Lai without authorization, or even become hostile.

Although Xu Lai's behavior at this time seriously hurt his own dignity and even the dignity of the temple, it did not really hurt his body after all.

So, whether this matter is big or small, it all depends on how Pera handles it.

Pella didn't want the temple and Xu Lai to completely split, at least not because of him.

First of all, the current temple has no time to deal with this kind of thing.

Secondly, if Xu Lai really goes to war with the temple, no matter whether he wins or loses, someone will definitely hold Pella responsible.

Therefore, he endured the loss of his dignity and was slapped and thrown into the teleportation array.

"Archangel, your lord, please send this person away."

Scanned by Elvi's fiery eyes, Pella and the others all lowered their heads in shame.

Elvi nodded and said: "Leave it to me." (End of Chapter)
