Chapter 19: The Thorn of Thorns

Walking through the luxurious streets of Uptown, Leitch couldn't help but feel a lot of emotion in his heart, although it has been less than ten days since he crossed over, but his experience is enough to write a bad street travel novel - the head of the mercenary group, the top union member, the baron on the ground - he almost miraculously achieved the goal that most people have worked hard for in their lives.

But no one knew that behind this seemingly light, Richie had an anxiety that ordinary people could not understand—the faceless king and his followers of the demon god, the abyss that was about to move, and the union facing great trouble****** in front of these, Richie had a deep powerlessness, like a drowning man struggling powerlessly in the water******

Well, Reich's literary pretensions were over, for the destination had arrived—his new mansion in Uptown, the Rose of Thorns—one of the gifts of the Grand Duke.

As Luck had predicted, the catch he had blocked for Kenneth in the Obsidian Temple had now paid him a huge reward - the lord of the Darkwind Realm, in addition to a reward of 10,000 gold coins and a new mansion in Uptown. And this new house is worth at least 10,000 gold coins! Leitch felt that he had taken another big step away from being rich and handsome.

Unlike Baixi Village, which is almost entirely wooden, the houses in Shangcheng are all stone attics - plain white walls, pale cyan glass spires, and a few green vines climbing on either side of the main entrance, above which is an open balcony. From Leitch's point of view, this attic is estimated to have only been built for a year or two, and he is extremely satisfied with this two-story attic.

Entering the attic, there is a large white marble staircase in front, a brown-red fireplace on the right, in front of which two finely made pale red wooden chairs are placed opposite the figure of eight, and on the left are several pale red new bookshelves, arranged in a quarter circle, with a glass round table and two wooden chairs in the middle of the bookshelves. There is also a small room on the left, which Leitch presumably is where the kitchen and dining room are located.

There are only three rooms on the second floor, the master bedroom faces the main entrance on the first floor, and a guest room in front of the left side, more than ten steps opposite the guest room, and a vacant room, which Reitch plans to use as an alchemy room and enchantment room in the future.

In fact, above the fireplace, in the middle of the staircase, in the bedroom, and in several places, there are vacant weapon racks, which are used to store weapons, especially those of the ancient nobles, each of which is equivalent to a page of family legend. But Leitch doesn't have anything to put on at the moment, so is it possible to put a few iron swords on the shelf to embarrass people?

Luck put the wooden box in his hand on the ground, and one of them jumped down on the wide bed, and the softness suddenly made Ricky feel bad - he could finally get rid of those goddamn hard wooden beds now! and the bed was big enough******

The wooden box that Leitch brought back was about the same size as the suitcase commonly used in gangster trading in Earth movies, and it contained the rewards that Leitch had received today—10,000 gold coins, a noble medal, and a house deed.

Leitch's Baronial Medal is a bronze medallion, about the size of a palm, with a Cosla beast on the front - the Totem of the Bartret family with the word Baron engraved on it, and a lightning dragon on the back, which is the exclusive totem of Leitch. Like the Thor Order, this Order of Nobility is also an alchemical item that contains a full-body mirror image of Leitch, name, title, and territory.

It is worth mentioning that when he was made a baron, Leitch also lit an everlasting lamp. This lantern is also called the natal lamp, the lamp oil is extracted from the deep sea mermaid - a strange fish with human limbs, after the mark of life, the lamp of the lamp is equivalent to the fire of life of the lamp owner, once the lamp is extinguished, this indicates that the lamp owner has died. At this time, the court will inform the lord's family and choose a new heir.

Actually, there is a similar link in the Thor Guild, but according to Owendo, Leitch's ceremony will not be carried out until a month later, after the recruitment of new recruits is completed.

At about two o'clock in the afternoon, Carl, Arthur, and Bill appeared together at Leitch's new mansion - this was the morning when Leitch had summoned a beggar with a silver coin - in fact the silver coin was given by Carl, because, according to Leitch, cash on delivery - of course, the beggar listened to him because of his nobility, after all, a nobleman would not be fooled for a silver coin.

The three of them looked around at Leitch's new house, and then at Leitch, who was sitting lazily on a wooden chair and leisurely drinking wine, and their eyes couldn't help but show admiration. If at the beginning, the three of them only glanced at Leitch slightly, then now after learning about the rumors about Leqi, the three of them can't help but be convinced - whether it is saving the son of the Grand Duke at the hands of the Abyss Knight, joining the Thor Guild, or even obtaining the title of Baron, these are simply miracles in the eyes of ordinary people.

"Sit down. Feeling that the three of them had invisibly changed their attitudes towards themselves, Leitch's mood couldn't help but become more pleasant.

"I guess you already know that I'm a member of the Thor Guild. "Although the rumors about Leqi have gradually spread in Lei Man City, but now that they heard it from Lei Qi's mouth, the three of them couldn't help but show envy, you must know that it is the Thor Guild, which has an extremely high status in the entire Federation!

"It's a surprise that I was able to get this opportunity, if you want to join, you can only honestly participate in the selection in more than twenty days, but I will try my best to fight for you. Seeing the three of them showing gratitude, Leitch just smiled helplessly, "Don't expect too much from me, you must know that I am also a new person." ”

"But nothing is absolute in this world, and if any of you loses the election, I can give you two choices, one is to continue to manage the mercenary group, and the other is to join my guardian knights. Seeing the changes in the expressions of the three of them, Lei Qi continued, "Let's not talk about this, this is a thousand gold coins, and after you go back, you will fill up the vacant places in the group, and recruit as many young people as possible." Sensing a look of seriousness in Carl's eyes as he took the coin, Retch couldn't help but appreciate him more and more. Among the three, Leitch is most optimistic about Carl, a young man who looks a little wooden, but hides infinite wisdom.

Carl understood what Reitch meant by being full. There are many unwritten rules outside of federal law. Although it is only an unspoken rule, few people dare to disobey it. For example, the number of mercenaries in mercenary groups at all levels - within 30 awakened people at level D, 200 at level C, 500 at level B, and 1000 at level A. It doesn't have to be strictly adhered to, but if it is overextended, then the fate that awaits it will be obliterated, and the reasons are often bizarre.

The Guardian Knights of the nobility are clearly limited, with a maximum of 50 Guardian Knights for the Baron, 500 for the Viscount, and 1000 for the Count. Of course, each Guardian Knight can also be equipped with three Knight Servants. But in fact, this is only for ordinary forces, and it is absolutely not applicable to those top forces who are fighting in different planes, after all, after the battle, they still need to be heavily guarded.

After sending Carl and the three of them away, Leitch began to prepare to solve the task assigned by Rowling. In fact, he's going to take over the Black Wind Territory. It's not that he gets carried away because of his lust, but that the task assigned by Rowling is really urgent in his opinion - every day, villagers disappear for no reason, and when they are found, they are sucked dry of blood****** whether they are vampires or not, he has to go to check, and if he can't solve it, he will report back to the union.

Because it was most likely a vampire who was playing tricks, Retch didn't dare to be careless, so he went to the alchemy shop to buy a bottle of anti-disease elixir. I have to say that alchemy elixir is indeed not cheap, a bottle of anti-disease potion actually costs a gold coin, it is almost like robbing money, you must know that the treatment of those light magicians is free! However, it is impossible for Leqi to fool a sorcerer to go on a mission with him, but Leqi has an extremely strong idea of learning alchemy in his heart - in the novels he read in his previous life, Lei Qi admired Han Lao Mo who relied on continuous drug use to become an immortal******

It is said that silver weapons are more lethal to vampires, and Luck remembered the blood dragon sword he got in the ancient tomb, which looked like it was made of silver, but he didn't know how effective it was. But fortunately, vampires are not only silver weapons can kill, but silver weapons are more effective, it seems that vampires are still afraid of flames******* so Leitch spent ten gold coins in extreme pain to buy a spell book of the first-order magic fireball spell in the bookstore.
