Chapter 352: Self-defilement

When Leitch and his party returned to the pass guarded by the old urchin, they found that the pass was full of limb wreckage and weapon fragments left by various dead spirits, obviously there must have been a large-scale battle here not long ago! But looking at the number of defenders, it seems that there is no obvious attrition, which can't help but make Leitch feel relieved, obviously the defenders still have an advantage in the case of occupying the geographical advantage, and it can be seen that he chose the old urchin to lead the troops, and he is not wrong!

Soon after, Archdeacon Clark of the territory appeared in front of Leitch with several deacons, which surprised both Leitch and Davis. Leitch smiled at Clarke, "I didn't expect the Great Guardian and a few Guardians to appear here, but I guess a few of them didn't come here to deliver potions for me?"

Hearing Leitch's joke, several deacons behind Clark all smiled cooperatively, only Clark's face was still calm, and he even glanced at Leitch with a rather complicated look - he noticed that Leitch was referring to them by 'guard', not the usual 'deacon'. This was obviously a reference to the formation of the 'Black Wind Guardian' that the Viscount had mentioned earlier, but now it seems that he is far from just talking.

On the surface, whether they are called 'deacons' or guards, their duties are similar, mainly responsible for the stability of the territory, fighting against powerful invaders, and there are not many specific things that they are usually responsible for. And in the past, they were more active in the shadows, just like him, the archdeacon, many people in the whole territory had not even heard of it, but now, Leitch not only put them in the open, but even promoted them to the position of 'guardian', which is respected and used, and this does make many deacons feel quite useful, after all, not everyone is as indifferent to fame and fortune as he is. But how could these foolish fellows understand the meaning behind the Viscount's actions, or were they all well aware of it, but were happy to bask in the false illusion that the Viscount had created for them?

Although the Viscount has only been in the territory for a short time, judging from his series of actions, this young viscount undoubtedly has a considerable amount of centralized power**, or this is his instinct - if the other party proposes to establish the 'Black Wind Guardian', it is to try to weaken the influence of the original deacon in the territory, or to weaken the power in the hands of the deacon. And he obviously didn't deliberately hide his purpose, and put his purpose on the surface in an almost conspiratorial way, making people know that it was a cup of poisonous wine but couldn't help but drink it!

However, Akiwin didn't care much about these things, he didn't have much desire for power in the first place, otherwise he wouldn't have been the archdeacon for so many years but he had been obscure in the territory, and he knew one thing at the same time, when the entire Dawn Valley was about to fall into great turmoil, the territory really needed a man with skill and courage to take the helm! Mavis Naniko was not bad, but it was also in peacetime, and she still lacked courage in times of turmoil.

"Lord Viscount, we did send you the alchemy potion you need. As he spoke, a dark color suddenly appeared in Clark's hand, and it was not difficult to tell from the degree of deformation that it was filled with bottles.

"Thank you. Leitch smiled and took the bag from Clark's hand.

Later, Reich and Clark chatted, and learned that the battle that broke out at the pass after they left, and that the old urchin had accidentally broken through to the demi-saint realm.

"At such a moment, it is undoubtedly a great thing that the territory can have an additional demi-saint. Leitch laughed.

Indeed, many deacons even linked the matter to themselves, saying that it was a change brought about by the viscount for the realm. Clark said with a smile as he secretly observed Rich's facial expression.

Who knew that Lei Qi was dumbfounded, shook his head and said: "This is too much to elevate me, I have been in Lei Man City for nearly eighteen years, but I have never heard of a sixth-order powerhouse who has entered the half-saint realm. ”

Clarke didn't make any comments on Leitch's statement, in fact, his focus was never on the point of 'it was Leitch who brought about the change', because this kind of thing was too ethereal, even he, a genuine half-saint, didn't dare to say anything, let alone the battle mage in front of him who was only a third-order! He was concerned about Leitch's attitude, ordinary people were more or less smug when they heard this kind of almost flattering words, but the young viscount in front of him had the slightest reaction, and this kind of false honor obviously couldn't control his reason.

"Lord Viscount, I think your next move is a bit extreme, and while your intentions are good, this cruel approach will indeed have an extremely negative impact on your reputation. At this point, there were only two people around, Leitch and Clark, so he didn't have much scruples about talking, and he was obviously referring to the bloody massacre that Leitch was about to carry out on the Cryptmen.

"I know," Leech's expression was still the same, he nodded very calmly, and said, "Of course I know the result of this, but I have to do it, and this matter will spread throughout the Federation, and it will become a great stain on my Viscount Black Wind." ”

"Oh, why is that?" Clarke's face couldn't help but show a hint of surprise when he heard this, and he said curiously, "If the Viscount is worried about manpower, you can inform the Earl and ask her to send a group of high-level witchers over, and the Lord also knows the magic of 'Aerial Sucking', and when the time comes, it will be good for the witchers waiting outside the cave to suck out the humans who came out of the cave - the 'Air Suck' scroll, the territory still has a considerable amount of storage." ”

The magic of the air suck is naturally no stranger, and even he himself can, the veteran level 'air sucker' can move a mortal to a distance of more than ten meters, and it is naturally not a problem to face those humans who have temporarily lost their combat effectiveness. And the magic that each witcher can master is limited, and Raidy is sure that there are very few people who have truly mastered the mysterious magic of telekinesis, and Clark can make this promise with all his promise, which shows that the original Lyra Territory has extremely rich reserves!

But Ratche still shook his head and said, "Thank you for the kindness of the Great Guardian, but I still have to do it." ”

Seeing Clark looking at him suspiciously, Luck said lightly: "Does the Great Guardian know what self-pollution is?"

"Stain yourself, defile yourself?" Clark said suspiciously.

"That's right, it's the Viscount who stains himself. Luck nodded, "The Great Guardian may wonder why I did this? I want to ask the Great Guardian a question - do you think I'm climbing fast?"

Seeing Clark nodding slightly, Leitch smiled faintly: "Actually, even I feel that I am very fast-I have climbed to the current high position in just two years, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a legend for many people! From the change of the Obsidian Temple to the rebellion of the blood mage, I have played a big role in this major event related to the safety of the entire Federation, which made me jump from a civilian to the vision of the entire Federation, and use this to climb quickly, and it can indeed be called a meeting of the storm!"

"Maybe those ordinary people will envy me, but they have forgotten that not long ago, I was just a commoner like them, and now I have trampled many noble people under my feet, and they will be indifferent to this?"

Hearing this, Clarke's eyes flashed, and he said with a hint of deep meaning: "So you gave away a large part of the credit to the Viscount before, such as the return of the 'Book of Tranquility'?"

"Great Guardian, you are indeed wise. In response to Clark's speculation, Leitch only smiled slightly, and it was all laughter.

"Then why do you want to defile yourself now, Lord Viscount?"

"That's not even the matter of the 'Kuroshio' that is too important!" Leitch smiled bitterly and shook his head, "If we fail to resist the Kuroshio this time, let's not talk about it, if we succeed in stopping the outbreak of the Kuroshio, think about it, if it is spread to the mainland, it will be enough to be compiled into an epic chapter by those troubadours! And the protagonist of this epic chapter is me, Viscount Blackwind! At that time, I will become a hero praised by countless people, and a savior in the eyes of countless civilians!"

Looking at Leitch's expression, a hint of clarity appeared on Clark's face, but then he quipped with a hint of a smile: "Isn't this a good thing for Lord Viscount?"

"Is it a good thing?" Leitch shrugged his shoulders and pouted, "Perhaps, after all, who doesn't want to be a hero! Kuroshio Terminator, listen to how loud this head is, it will overshadow the prestige of the Ten Lords! I am a viscount with a territory of no more than 100,000 square meters, and in some respects my prestige is higher than that of the Ten Lords, do you think the Ten Lords will be happy to see this? Maybe some of them are indeed broad-minded, but as long as one of them looks at me unpleasantly, it is enough for me to drink a pot - now I am no different from an ant in front of the Ten Lords!"

"So, Lord Viscount, you're trying to defile yourself to protect yourself?" asked Clarke.

"That's right, that's what I mean. Although my blood is nothing in the eyes of many compared to the achievement of ending the Kuroshio, this world is often more mean than tolerant, more demanding than grateful, and those who look at me will surely work hard to publicize my inhumane deeds, and I will become a cruel lord in the mouths of many!" said Retche with a hint of mockery on his face.

"And for the Ten Lords, a perfect subordinate is obviously not a good one, and I, at best, can only be regarded as a capable, but rather simple and crude officer. ”

ps: I have to say here that breaking off is really not a good habit, after a few days, there will be a sense of rustiness, perhaps this is also one of the important reasons for many final eunuchs - because I don't remember what I wrote for a long time...... I apologize to everyone for the interruption, but if you look at the number of followers I have, you can see that I can't make any money with this book, and the reason why I keep writing is purely because of my love for creation. And to be honest, I do like the world I'm currently imagining, so I'll stick to the finish of it, and as for updates, all I can say is to make it as good as possible.
