Transcendent Noble

West of Raven Town, Paladin Station.

"Lord Kent, this is a close-fitting soft armor tanned from giant anaconda skin. The giant anacondas in the lizard swamp are strong as an ox, blades and swords find it difficult to cut. Their leather is extremely tenacious , It has strong resistance to slashing and puncture damage, but the thickness of anaconda skin is not enough, and there is no good way to bludgeon damage. But also because the skin is thin and smooth, it can be worn as a close-fitting soft armor inside the armor. The craftsmen of the York family used a special process to combine two layers of anaconda skin into a whole, sandwiching a layer of finely woven Cassang silk rattan armor with sweat-absorbent light and soft antelope leather inside to make this soft anaconda skin armor. After testing, this soft shell of anaconda can resist the crossbow’s fire at close range. If it is equipped with a dragon lizard skin outer armor, even a military heavy crossbow can’t penetrate it 150 meters away."

Victor presented the gift and looked at Kent, the Templar Level 6 combat priest.

He is about 60 years old, wearing an exquisitely shaped dragon lizard leather armor, and a purple light shimmering fine gold chain mail. He is tall and sturdy, with full and well-proportioned muscles, which makes him strong and flexible. , The exposed skin presents an oily bronze color, which is the characteristic of experiencing three body reshaping and applying the secret medicine of the church.

Level 6 priests are called Legendary priests. This is not to say that the personal martial power of Level 6 priests is comparable to Legendary Knight. In fact, their battle strength is not as good as ordinary Knight. However, Level 6 priests have a greater role on the battlefield than Golden Knight, and have the ability of Legendary powerhouse to turn the tide of battle.

However, combat priests fight full-time, and their martial skills are much stronger than ordinary priests, and they can basically reach the level of a beginner knight. However, the battle priest will be taken care of by the orc powerhouse on the battlefield. A combat priest who can be successfully promoted to Level 6 is indispensable for luck, personal strength, wisdom, and combat experience.

So, Level 6 combat pastors play the role of Templar commanders in the church's priest, and their number is much smaller and much younger than Level 6 missionary pastors.

Kent is the well-known figure in the battle priest. He was born in a family of ordinary vassals in Tatun dukedom. Because he had no background, he could only work as a fighting priest of the Templar squad. He experienced countless fierce battles. He was promoted step by step with his personal efforts and the grace of battle. It is a Level 6 priest.

As an ordinary person priest, Kent ignited the fire of the soul in the fight with the orc tribe. The secret method of the Church's Body Refinement allowed his physical fitness to break through the limit of a mortal, reaching the level of a senior trainee Knight. With his martial skill alone, he can strive for high and low with the elementary Knight. If he inspires the high-level Paladin crystals and cooperates with the divine technique of the Level 6 priest, he even has an amazing record of dealing with the same golden-level centaur Khan. .

Today, Kent serves as Assistant Commander Wallace of the Templar Army, under his command there are 200 Horned Wolf Paladin and 1,800 Elementary Paladin. His extraordinary power and social status are equivalent to Golden Knight.

Victor looked at the priest Kent, and Kent secretly observed the famous Viscount Randal.

This black hair black-eyed young lord has a beauty that transcends the mundane. His skin is white and shiny, shining with the luster of life, and the occasional breeze surrounds his body, highlighting the mysterious noble temperament. , Under the slender and straight eyebrows are a pair of dark and deep eyes. His eyes are calm and deep, as if he possesses the extraordinary ability to insight into the truth. He is clearly looking straight, but it gives people a condescending sense of scrutiny.

Kent couldn't help being a little discouraged. Moon elves originally belonged to the silver-level longevity race, and their Life Level was naturally higher than that of humans. Even if Viscount Randal is not a pure moon elf Royal Family, it is not much different. All he has made friends with are the powerful Peak figures. In front of him, a Level 6 combat priest is not enough to be proud, even at a disadvantage.

As soon as that fellow Wallace left, Viscount Randal came to the door...Nothing good!

Kent murmured in his heart, with a cordial smile on his face, holding the soft armor of anacondas, and admiring: "It's a good thing... The fighting priest is not as strong as Paladin, and can't be worn heavy. In the fight at close quarters, dexterity is more important than strong defense. In order to confuse the orcs, the battle priest usually imitates Paladin and wears only leather armor. This is also the sacrifice of the battle priest. The main reason. If this soft armor can be popularized, it can save the lives of many fighting priests."

"The number of giant anacles is not large, they are still very dangerous."

Victor shook the head, said embarrassingly: "The swamp scouts of the Randal Family only captured 3 giant anacondas last year, and sacrificed 2 lives for this. The leather of 3 giant anacles can only make 8 sets of soft armor... …I’m afraid it’s hard to spread the soft armor of the acne skin."

Kent sighed and said with a smile: "The rattan hard armor of Centaur Hills is also very good... I just don’t know, when will Centaur Hills come? I am willing to make the vine leather armor made public."

The Kent pastor was reluctant to get to the point, but Victor had enough patience. He shook his head and said with a smile: "This is almost It is impossible, unless the church can persuade other families to disclose its technology...including the church’s monastery."

Pastor Kent laughed and shook his head: "I’ve always been puzzled. The lord and the church have common enemies. , Why are everyone unwilling to share each other’s achievements? Although I have repeatedly appealed to Church to disclose some secrets to the secular lords, they were all rejected by the Cardinal."

Victor thought for a while, and said: "I admire your character and virtue, but it is necessary to cherish secret skills. If everyone can wait for others to invent and create, then no one is willing to innovate. Take vine leather armor as an example, if the Temple Army is willing to invest Purchasing rattan leather armor, Centaur Hills can expand the scale of production and reduce production costs. Only when the York family makes money, they are willing to invest more Kinsoul, fund the family scholar, and engage in technological innovation. The lord of Centaur Hills has become rich. The church’s eleven taxes have naturally increased. This is actually a win-win cooperation method."

Kent froze for a long time, muttered: "I think your opinion is very reasonable... But, the Supreme Lord 'S servant cannot run a business to avoid being greedy Corrupted faith. "

"Of course, servants of the Supreme Lord cannot engage in trade. "

Victor said with a smile: "But you can pay attention to the method, for example, the lord donates vine leather armor, the church gives rewards or...relief. "

Pastor Kent put down the soft armor of the acne in his hand, shook his head solemnly and said: "Donations are piety to the Lord, and selfishness should not be mixed." "

Victor suffocated slightly, then stood up, stroked his chest and saluted, and said sincerely, "Sorry, I was the one who made a mistake." "

"Your Excellency is also kind..." Kent waved his hand and said seriously: "However, the Lord's teachings cannot be overstepped!" "His eyes faintly revealed some regrets and distress.

Victor sat down again and said with a smile: "Then, by specifying the Eleven Taxes, the Templars will get a sufficient amount of vines. leather armor. "

"What? "Reverend Kent lifts the head with a stunned expression on his face.

Victor lightly said with a smile: "The Cardinal issued a decree to allow Sasan Empire to purchase vine leather hard armor from Centaur Hills as the eleventh tax. Give it to Paladin of the Templar. "

"Yes, this is such a great idea!" "

Pastor Kent stood up excitedly, hands behind ones back, pacing back and forth in the room. After he stopped, said with a laugh: "Your Excellency Randal, you really helped me a lot. "

Kent is over sixty years old, his physical fitness has declined, his personal strength has passed the Peak period, and he is no longer suitable for the battle priest of the Templar. The Radiance Knight regiment sent him to guard Barbarian for the purpose of protection. When Barbarian crosses the river south, it’s when he leaves the Templar. Patriarch Friedes intends to let Kent out of any bishop, but Kent believes that Level 6 priests should have at least a red-clothed Archbishop position. He even hopes that he can be a cardinal. The Senate Council got a seat. However, Kent is now far away from the command center of the Templar Army and has no chance of activities. He urgently needs to put forward his own political propositions and re-enter the vision of the Radiance Knight regiment.

Victor's proposal is in Kent's arms. Regardless of whether the Cardinal Council accepts the proposal to specify the Eleventh Tax, Kent's backer in the Radiance Knight regiment-the Eresrell family can speak for him.

Kent The pastor naturally lifted his guard, returned to his chair, and asked enthusiastically: "Your Excellency Randal, what are you looking for this time? "

Victor has already figured out the details of Kent through Sylvia and Sophia. He may be an excellent military commander, but his political wisdom and historical knowledge are far inferior to those of the Eresreal family Victor wanted to confirm the relationship between Alchemy Empire and Harlots Fortress from Barbarian Elder's mouth. But due to the existence of Wallace, Victor has not had a face-to-face communication with Harald Elder to avoid being caught The Erresreal family sees the weak spot.

Wallace accompanied Sophia on his visit to the Sasan Empire, and Victor finally had the opportunity to visit Barbarian Elder.

In fact, the proposal to specify the 11th tax It was not Victor’s temporary decision. It was a matter discussed by him, Sylvia and Sophia.

For a long time, the resident priest can always master the non-core skills of each family through the master’s craftsman. The church. There is no need to change the tax collection method for a new product. However, the rattan leather armor is indeed a good thing, but the church will not stimulate the Spiritual God Knight for the production technology of the rattan leather house. Centaur Hills has an empty rattan leather armor, But there is no big order, which is a problem after all.

If the church issues a decreed specifying that the lord of Sasan Empire shall pay the eleven tax with rattan leather armor, then Centaur Hills will be able to bypass the Gambis royal family’s arms export ban. There are more buyers, and the price of rattan leather armor will naturally increase, thereby increasing the financial income of Centaur Hills. In the same way, the lord of Gambis can also purchase technical products from other kingdoms in the name of paying the eleventh tax. In the background of the great development Next, as long as everyone is willing to sit down and talk, nothing can’t be exchanged.

Frequent business activities not only create favorable conditions for the development of the Golden Group, but the Cardinal also needs to entrust a neutral business organization to Tax commodities are settled and transported. The Golden Group cooperates with the church and will inevitably become a Hegemon-like business organization.

Pastor Kent does not know that even if he does not make suggestions, there will be priests who will advise the Cardinal. Pope Clement will facilitate this. Because the neutral Golden Group can help him further expand the influence of the Cardinal.

Victor said with a faint smile: "Your Excellency Kent, I am here to thank you of . Paladin and Barbarian helped Raven Town excavate two stream reservoirs, one which solved the water problem in the town, and the other gave me an additional 21,000 acres of arable land. By the way, Paladin helped build the city wall in Raven Town..."

"The city wall is still half way short to close. However, please rest assured that Paladin will build the remaining city wall next year. Pastor Kent, leaning on his side, said with a smile to Victor: "Speaking of which, it is your wife's idea to ask Barbarian to help Raven Town repair the wall and dig the ditch." In fact, I am also worried that Barbarian will be bored and cause trouble. Viscount Randal asked Barbarian to mine useless softsilver ore and build a city wall, which helped me solve a big problem. "

Hehe, this is my idea... Victor smugly said in a polite manner: "Your Excellency Kent, I plan to visit Harald and express my gratitude to him personally. "

Kent's gray eyes shrunk, he sat upright, laughed dryly, and said, "Your Excellency, Harald Elder and Barbarian live in the Skylark Mountain to the west." Now that the mountains are covered by heavy snow, the mountain roads are hard to navigate... Why don't you visit Harald Elder again after the weather gets warmer and Barbarian goes down the mountain? "

"Then I will live in Raven Town for a month. Anyway, the season of water is not a few days away. "Victor said with a smile disapprovingly.

Kent frowned his bushy eyebrows. He calculated that Wallace would be impossible to return within a month. So he reluctantly shook the head and spoke. Said: "Viscount Randal, let me tell you that many lords are interested in Barbarian, but Barbarian has a great diplomatic relationship. It is best not to establish personal relations with Harald Elder directly, so as not to cause misunderstandings among other families. I think it is better for your Excellency to avoid suspicion. "

"This is Raven Town. "

"Barbarian's camp is located in Skylark Mountain, which is not the territory of the Randal Family. "

"As the lord of Raven Town, I should have a good relationship with strong neighbors. "

"Paladin will protect the safety of the townspeople. Moreover, His Royal Highness Sylvia and Harald Elder have reached an agreement not to harm each other. Pastor Kent shook his head repeatedly, refuse to yield an inch.

Victor narrowed his smile, tapped his index finger on the table, and said bluntly: "But I doubt your position. If Barbarian and my people are in conflict, I don't think Paladin can maintain justice. "

Kent was very annoyed by the young lord's overbearing attitude. He was silent for a long time and said dullly: "Viscount Randal, please take the overall situation first. Paused, then said: "Even if your Royal Highness Sylvia is in person, I can't agree. "

Victor stood up and narrated coldly: "Either you go with me, or I go by myself." "

Kent was angry in his heart, but he suddenly caught a golden streamer in Victor's eyes, and he immediately started it. Upon closer inspection, it was still a pair of dark and deep eyes, as if the golden streamer was just an illusion.

How could Pastor Legendary have hallucinations?

Kent was convinced that he was absolutely not looking at dazzling eyes. He pondered for a moment, met Victor’s surprised gaze, and said with a little formality: "Your Excellency, Please forgive me for being rude, if you agree to let me check your status with true vision, I can take you to see Harald Elder. "

Victor thought for a while, and nodded agreed.

A circle of tiny runes appeared in the eyes of Pastor Kent, dyed his gray eyes into sacred and solemn white golden. He After carefully examining Victor for a moment, White Golden's pupils gradually returned to normal.

"Is there anything wrong with my body?" Victor asked curiously.

"Ah, no, no problem. Your Excellency is very healthy. Pastor Kent woke up, frustrated and said, "This... If you have any doubts, you can ask Your Highness Sylvia... It's not convenient for me to talk about your affairs with His Highness Sylvia." "

"Why do you prepare first, let's set off right away to visit Harald Elder?" "Pastor Kent lowered his posture and consulted Victor.

Victor thought for a moment, and decided to go to see Harald first, then look back to Sylvia, and ask about the divine technique. He headed his jaw. : "Okay, I will go back to Raven Castle and prepare a gift. "

Pastor Kent personally sent Victor out of the Paladin resident gate, turned back to his study, took out the parchment and quill, and wrote at the desk: Viscount Victor. Color, there is a small piece of golden radiance in the brain area, spreading towards the eyes.

Kent put down the quill, rolled up the letterhead, covered it with fire paint, and shouted loudly outside the house: "Zman, Zman, look For the sake of my lord, roll over to me quickly. "

Not long after, a ruling warrior wearing a dragon lizard leather armor walked into the study and said, "My lord, what do you want me to do?" "

Kent put the letterhead in the wooden box, stuffed it to his confidant, patted his shoulder and said, "Send this letter to Master Erresrell. Remember, you can't let others see it. "

"The Lord Eresreal? Lord Wallace? "

"Idiot, would I call that fellow Wallace an adult?" I'm talking about His Royal Highness Erresel of the Radiance Knight regiment! "
