Chapter 360: The Ring of Deception
The negotiation went smoothly and ended in less than an hour.
The charr did not ask for a sky-high price, and the Platinum Church did not come over with a dragon slayer, and the atmosphere of the discussion was harmonious.
In the end, the conditions on Charles's side are as follows:
The Platinum Church in Comanso did everything in its power to mobilize an intelligence network to find the exact location of the 'Hill of Dawn'.
Maple Grove Township has a 30% tax share.
There is also a deputy mayor who is a member of the 'Crown of Nodashir'.
The Platinum Church has taken full control of Maple Grove, and can claim that Maple Grove is jointly ruled by the Platinum Church and the Church of the God of Knowledge. That's what Patriarch Ted meant by borrowing the name of the Church of the God of Knowledge.
The deputy mayor was, of course, Barraza. Charles took the opportunity to open up the invitation to the Platinum Church, but this time Barraza did not refuse, and after a little thought, he agreed to Charles's invitation.
Even if Barasa is a paladin, he is still a player at heart, and Charr's move is equivalent to setting up a team branch in Maple Grove Town, or in Comanso, and if a member of the team comes to Comantor to travel and adventure in the future, it will not be without a fixed foothold.
Of the three conditions, the second one that the Platinum Church really wants to cut the flesh of. 30% of the territory's taxes are siphoned off. This value happens to be within the acceptable range of the Platinum Church, and it is raised to 40%, 50%, and there must be some criticism within the church. As a result, Charles offered 30% and refused to make a counteroffer, and Patriarch Teide, who represented the Platinum Church, could only smile wryly and write his name on the deed of the transaction.
After the contract was completed, Charles immediately handed over the lord's seal to the Platinum Church, so that all the affairs of the territory were thrown away. The charr is refreshed. Meet Barraza and his quest companions in his room.
"You......"
Barraza shook his head and smiled wryly as he entered the door. "The 30% tax is not a lion's mouth. But no matter how you say it, it's a wolf tearing meat...... Alas, it's a deal between the Platinum Church and the Church of Knowledge anyway, and I can't get involved. ”
"I'm listening to the wind in the night rain." Another human paladin player sat next to Barasa and introduced himself, "Thirteenth level Paladin, advanced class is Templar. ”
"Templar ...... Templars in Bahamut? "Charles glanced at Nightrain's modified bracers and gloves, and if he was in combat, the player's weapon would have been Claws.
The Templar is actually based on the Paladin profession, which further strengthens the melee combat ability of the Templar.
For example, after advancement. Templars gain the [Powerful Strike] specialty, which increases the damage of normal attacks and skill attacks, and the passive ability of [Damage Reduction], which changes with level, cannot be ignored.
Weapon specialization is also one of the free specialties that Templars get. For example, 'Listening to the Wind in the Night Rain' believes in the platinum dragon god, and the god of Bahamut prefers the weapon "Claw", then this specialty becomes [Weapon Specialization - Claw].
When leveled up, good Templars will also receive an additional number of uses of [Hexabusive Slash] per day. When you first advance to lv1, you will get 1 extra time, and at lv5 you will increase it to 2 times...... As the level increases, the melee ability of the Templar increases significantly.
"I can fight and resist, and I'm a very good teammate." Charles' eyes lit up. I shook hands with 'Night Rain and Listening to the Wind' amicably.
Balasa just brought his partner over to get to know each other, and his ass was not hot yet. The two were called away by the Platinum Church's pastor trainee. After taking over Maple Grove, the entire Platinum Church was up and running, and according to Patriarch Ted, he had already applied for assistance from the mainland headquarters, and at least one model would arrive in Maple Grove as a helper in a few days.
In this way, Charles patiently waited in Maple Grove for three days.
In the past three days, he has gnawed down the scrolls of the [Expulsion Technique] and the [Anti-Death Enchantment], and the current record of the Four Rings Divine Skill Position has become like this:
[Divine Power], [Dimensional Anchor], [Expulsion], [Death-proof Enchantment].
The location of the Four Rings is recorded alternately between the [Arbitrary Gate] and the [Prophecy].
On the evening of the third day, the pastor of the Platinum Church finally knocked on the door and sent the intelligence documents. Charles stared at the hand-drawn maps and documents on his desk, frowning.
"Is it in the position of the Lost Strono?"
Fingers tapped lightly on the table.
The sunset shines through the glass window on the map on the table, and next to the mark of Mistrono, an area marked with a red pen reflects the glow.
Call.
Misty Strono.
In fact, the last thing Charles wanted to go was this route, and in his opinion, the terrible magic traps in the ruins of Mistrono were far more dangerous than the third route from north to south, which passed through the Valley of Lost Sound.
Although the Valley of Silence is a sacred forbidden place for elves, and even Drow avoids it, it is filled with ancient elven ghosts and various guardian spirits, but Charles still has the confidence to pass through the Valley of Silence.
Mistron is different. Some of the Sun and Moon Elves have returned to Comanso and reclaimed parts of Mystrono, but that place may be nothing more than a peeling scale to the once-glorious Great Forest City.
Now the city rebuilt by the elves is filled with adventurers and mercenaries, attracted by the gold and magical objects of the Lost Trono, flocked from all over the continent. At present, I am afraid that only the elves who believe in Corellon can maintain the security of that city.
"Pack up and leave tomorrow morning......"
No matter what danger awaits the Charles, they must be crossed, and this hurdle must be crossed. Putting away the intelligence papers, the priest glanced at the female blood who was leaning against the doorframe of the room, clutching a white bone necklace and bowing her head.
[Viren's Boun's Gift] can only be used by professionals in the evil camp, and Charles is not short of money, so he does not intend to throw this practical jewelry necklace to the exchange and sell it, so he naturally gives it to the female blood to use. Mahi is a mage herself, and she is a magician, skilled in the use of magical treasures.
As for the three drops contributed by Beast Ghost Wilde, the Adamantite Staff and the Robe Charles were lost to the Yaling Warlock, and the last Ring of Radiance was worn by him.

Charles found that he had a deep relationship with ring jewelry, and so far, he has collected the rings of [Aquatic Ring], [Ring of the Four Winds], [Ring of the Black Moon], and [Purple Dragon Seal Ring].
Counting this [Ring of Deception] and a homemade decorative crystal ring, Charles wore a total of six rings on his hands, although only 2 of them could be equipped, but in this way, he could quickly change the accessories suitable for this battle before entering the battle.
"Let's go, go to the town's exchange." Charles woke up the Female Blood, and when he passed by the noble lady's room, he did not forget to call her, and the three of them walked out of the castle together. (To be continued......)
