Chapter 49: No Peace
"What?!"
Although Claes is young, he is already a qualified businessman. Businessmen value profit over righteousness, and they don't like to offend people the most. The same is true of Claes, who is the most prudent and prudent in his work, and this time Cinnroth has entrusted him with the task of negotiating with the church. In addition to the intention of honing him, more than that, I hope he will go out for a walk and open his eyes. A person with such a powerful trait as the [Stone to Gold] cannot be restrained by the small place of Desmond.
It's not that Sinlos himself is lazy and doesn't want to deal with those god sticks.
But now, someone sued him. Claes was arrested and thrown into prison. It's no wonder that Sinloth was surprised, he had his own protector. Even if he really did something wrong, he should have been put under house arrest, and then the other party came to negotiate with him. How could he be thrown directly into prison without saying a word?
What is the difference between such behavior and hitting him in the face?
The young man looked panicked, but fortunately, the coherence was still clear: "My lord, it's true. I saw with my own eyes a man dressed as a priest, with a group of soldiers, who seized Master Claes and said that he would throw him into prison. I went up to stop them, but I didn't know what to do if I couldn't beat them, so I came back, my lord, and you must save Lord Claes! โ
The man whimpered, telling everything he knew.
"Claes didn't tell them that I was his protector?"
By this point, Sinloth had believed ninety percent of the time. The young man in front of him, he had a slight impression, and it was indeed a subordinate that Claes had specially found before he set off. Now it seems that Claes's vision is still good.
"They know that when Lord Claes took me to the monastery on the first day, the abbot sent a priest and received us very politely, and Lord Claes didn't know what he said to the priest inside, but at that time he came out with a smile The priest asked me many questions in private, I didn't dare to say more, I just answered him indiscriminately, he didn't say anything, smiled and walked away, my lord, this is what the priest gave me."
As if to prove that he was not lying, the man pulled out a gold coin with a golden eagle on it from his pocket. Sinloth took it and found that it was indeed a genuine Imperial gold coin. With Desmond's barrenness, it was almost impossible for the lords to have such a thing as gold.
so
Xinluo rubbed his eyebrows and said expressionlessly: "I understand, you go down and rest first." I'll get ready and go. By the way, which monastery was Claes kept in? โ
"It's the Great Abbey of Kildel."
"Kildel?"

Swinging the retinue away, Cynroth dressed himself as he thought back to the new spell Prescia had taught him. As usual, the legendary spell of Yishui does not even have a single low-level magic.
"Since you can't use magic facilities on a large scale to improve labor efficiency, it's also necessary to use some magic technology to increase production, but what's going on with these spells! Just listening to the name, each one is more terrifying than the other. Except for that path precognition, the other spells are simply calamity-level spells, right, even if I learn these spells, does it really matter? Will the bet not be affected? โ
"It won't have an impact. In my opinion, there is nothing wrong with the teachings of the Archmage Prescia. โ
"I've never studied magic! At least from the fireball technique, how can anyone directly teach people legendary spells! โ
"Contractor, what is magic in your eyes?"
The voice of the ball of light was as cold as ever, and it was impossible to hear the emotion. But inexplicably, Xinluo always felt that this time the ball of light seemed to be extra serious. Affected by this strange mood, Xinluo also became stern: "Magic is the way to manipulate the elements of magic." โ
"Correct, but also wrong."
"Huh?"
"The path of magic, from the very beginning, has had only one goal, which is to grasp the truth of the world. But the path to truth is bound to be bumpy, so many categories of magic have been spawned, which are used by the caster to protect themselves and accelerate their own improvement. Due to the limitations of the short species, the caster will choose one or two factions to delve into magic. This in itself is true, but it is like a blind man touching an elephant, only a part of the truth can be glimpsed, not the whole picture. This method will indeed accelerate the caster's research on magic in the early stages, but it will face extremely strong resistance when it comes to attacking the truth. โ
"So, Prescia?"
"From the very beginning, she taught you the truth of the world. Having started learning legendary spells, you knew from the beginning that you were facing an elephant. Even if the details aren't clear, you already have an advantage over other spellcasters. โ
Sinloth scratched his hair in some annoyance, and when he heard the ball of light say this, it seemed that this was indeed the case. If you can really know all these legendary spells, then it must be extremely easy to learn other low-level spells, right? But in Xinluos's heart, he always felt a little weird, and this feeling was really uncomfortable.
That's right
"How could a low-level mage really learn legendary spells! Let's not talk about the magic required, and the understanding of spells. With that will, it is impossible for a low-level mage to be satisfied! โ
"Contractor, you have me."
"Sure enough, the premise of this qiฤ is you."
Xinluo carefully put away the Qiyao Magic Stone, dressed up neatly, and then cleaned up his mood and went downstairs.
And Bismal and other knights have been waiting in the hall for a long time. Ditohart whispered to the attendant, and judging by his frowning brow, he also realized the seriousness of the matter.
"Guys, are you ready?"
The knights already knew the general situation of the matter, and knew that with the character of Xinluos, they would inevitably respond. Sure enough, their lord did not disappoint them, and the young lord did not choose to settle down. Obviously, he intends to do something more drastic. Thinking of this, the blood of the knights burned one after another. Hearing the lord's question, the knights hurriedly replied loudly, "It's all ready, ready to go." โ
"Very well, then we"
"Wait, Lord Sinloth!"
Ditohardt shouted loudly, blocking Cynloth's side. With his own positioning, this kind of behavior of directly blocking the lord is actually very contrary to his own heart. But now, with the three vassals in Sinloth Castle, Claes captured, and Bismal, as the leader of the knights, will not let go of this opportunity. Then, only he can intervene to stop him.
For the sake of his own ambitions, he must not allow Sinloth to fall here. The baron, though noble, would be unwise to confront a bishop head-on.
Ditohart stiffened his head and continued: "I think there must be some misunderstanding, there must be some misunderstanding. The Bishop could not have done so without a reason. As long as I don't send someone, I'll go for a trip. I still have a few sides to meet with the Bishop, and he will."
The bishop had a relationship with a slave trader? It's true.
Sinloth understood that Ditohart might be sincere this time, and he really didn't want Sinlos to offend such a figure like Bishop Kildel. Don't underestimate him as a mere bishop, the Church's network of relationships is as great as the complex web of blood ties between the nobility.
"I don't care about that, I just know. He has moved my people, and if he moves my people, he will have to pay the price. Don't tell me about the shady dealings between the nobles, my long whip, who doesn't recognize people. โ
Step back, step by step. Newcomers are always treated with all sorts of contempt, especially from a nascent family like Sinroth. He can back down this time, but what about next time? What about next time? For today's plan, I can only bite the bullet, and when the time comes, I will see the move.
Anyway, since the Great Schism, the Church and the Empire have almost torn their faces. The incense in the early years has long since been wiped out with the passage of time.
"Lord Sinloth"
Ditohardt muttered, and a bright light gradually rose from his brown pupils, glowing with a strange look. The man cracked the corners of his mouth and showed a hideous smile: "Ah, it's worthy of the people I follow, it's okay if that's it."
Ignoring the completely twisted fellow, Sinloth turned his head to look at the knights who were waiting for him. Bismalco, Jeremia, Gino, Ruziano, Roland
"Where's Arian Hurd?"
She took three of her men and went to the countryside to gather men. You used to talk about forming a standing army, and during this time, she took advantage of the patrol time to start training some soldiers. It's just that the time is still short, and it is not very useful. I'm afraid that this time things can't be good, pull more soldiers, and the other party will take more care of it. โ
The most terrifying thing about the fiefdom aristocracy is this. They have territory to support them, but they can form their own armies. Even if the emperor does not allow the nobles of the empire to go to war directly, force is the right to speak, and this will never change.
"It's fine."
Sinloth fastened his cloak and tied the Whip of Legends around his waist. He thought about it, and felt that it was inappropriate, and ordered the maid in the black dress who was quiet on the side: "Aynes, Enaya, and Dubari stay to guard the castle, and the others will leave the house with me, and the house will be handed over to you, if anyone comes to trouble and kills it." โ
As if she hadn't heard the gore in Sinloth's words, as usual, the maid bowed slightly, and her serene face did not change in the slightest.
"Your will, sir."
For some reason, Ditohardt, who had been completely burned, suddenly thought of something and whispered to Cynroth: "My lord, what if those people come?" โ
"Those people?" Sinloth blinked, and then remembered who Ditohart was talking about. The lord sneered: "Since you want to cooperate, then show the sincerity of cooperation." Without them, Desmond couldn't have developed? If they don't have even this sincerity, they themselves will be swallowed up by the Normans without my hands. โ
Bismal can be the first knight in the territory, so he naturally has to bring it. Although the martial arts of the three Aynes are not bad, in Ditohart's opinion, it is really reassuring to hand over the responsibility of staying behind to the three women. What's more, if those people do come
Ditohardt looked at Sinloth and saw a dark tide in the lord's dark eyes, and he didn't know what to think. It was just a very ordinary look, but it made him lose the courage to speak. He lowered his head and stopped talking.
After a while, there was a sound of people shouting and neighing horses outside the castle. The lord knew that it was Arian Hurd who had returned with his soldiers, and he pulled his cloak and strode out of the castle gates.
"Let's go!"
"Oh!"
