Chapter 359: Trading
As Scrivener George had said, Charles could represent the Church of Ogmar and sit on the throne of Lord Maplewood, but the priest didn't want to be tied to Comanso.
On the one hand, it was because of the urging of Cathy's escort mission and his own advanced mission, and on the other hand, Maple Grove Town was too small, starting as a level 2 town with a population of no more than a thousand, and it was far more difficult to develop into a city in a dangerous environment like Comanso than to open up a territory by himself.
However, it is not easy for Charles to hand over Maple Grove to the Platinum Church, especially after obtaining the lord's seal, he can use the identity of Ogmar Divine Priest to negotiate a deal with the other party.
The golden emblem, the blessings of the gods, and the favor of the gods are all gathered in the charr, and before you know it, the charr's status in the knowledge church may be higher than that of the ordinary high priest. Therefore, Charles is fully qualified to represent the church and negotiate with other churches.
Anyway, Maple Grove Town will be handed over tomorrow, and Charles didn't bother to look through the territory information, so he instructed Clerk George to sort out the warehouse list in two, then found a vacant room, sat down and carefully studied the magic scroll.
George didn't dare to disturb him, and in the end he had to go to Miss Noble. Casey. After all, Carol was born into a famous family, and was strictly educated by the old witch since she was a child, at least she knew how to manage the territory. She took the warehouse record list, let George follow her, went into the warehouse, and counted the property of the territory.
As for Mahi, due to the lack of manpower in the territory, she could only make a temporary cameo appearance as a wardener for one night to watch over the group of mercenaries who surrendered.
The night passed.
Early the next morning, the news that Maplelinburg had changed hands again spread through the adventurers and mercenaries who had come out of the prison last night. Like a depth charge, it shook the town.
It was the priest of Ogmar who led the men to take Maplelyn!
Is the Church of the God of Knowledge going to meddle in the affairs of the Comanso region?
The ordinary residents of Maple Grove welcomed it. Ogmana, the god of knowledge, is an ancient god with [powerful divine powers]. Only gods like Corrylon, Sivannas, and Yodara can match it. Other gods with [medium divine power] and [weak divine power] are far from qualified. Everyone understands the principle that it is good to enjoy the shade with your back against a big tree.
"Ogmar's church is coming into Comanso?"
In the Tree Cave Hotel, a moon elf mage dressed in green gauze immediately narrowed his blue eyes and commanded in a deep voice after hearing the report from his subordinates: "Use the communication stone to send urgent information to the church headquarters of Mistrono, and ask Your Excellency the High Priest to decide!" Also, the Church's staff in Maple Grove is silent! ”
The strongholds of the Church of the Gods, such as Sivanus and Yodara in Maplewood, also made a similar decision to the Church of Corellon. Choose to stay on the sidelines.
The cult of evil gods and Drow's spies were mixed among the ordinary residents, and naturally they also sent information to the headquarters of Comanso through different channels.
"Biske was slaughtered?"
Several Cults of Evil Gods reacted coldly to this information, after all, the Cult of Evil Gods is not monolithic, let's just say that the Church of Bane and the Church of Ciric are absolute mortal enemies, and neither side dares to show their faces easily.
Among them, the fiercest reaction is undoubtedly the Drow family. This is a large clan that has fled from the underground, and the patriarch Isaiah. Jelle, a would-be heroic assassin who believes in Viren, receives information from the hole in the tree where the Drow Profession lives. His angry roar echoed.
Isaiah. There's no reason Jelle shouldn't be angry.
In order to win over the 'Dark Wing' mercenary group, let the leader of the mercenary group, Bisque, change his faith. Isaiah. Jelle did not hesitate to give the magical treasure [Viren's Gift] to Biske, so that he could be an important pawn of Drow and firmly entrenched in Maple Grove Town.
Who knew that the Darkwing Mercenary Regiment had not ruled Maple Grove for a few days before it was defeated by a priest of Ogmar. In just one night, the Darkwing mercenary group was killed and wounded, and its leader, Bisk, was slaughtered on the spot.
"[Viren's Gift] must be brought back!" Isaiah. Jelle walked out of the tree hole, stared at the Drow assassin who was half-kneeling at the entrance of the cave, and said in a deep voice: "Yuri, you are the Drow warrior second only to me in the Jerai family, go to Maple Grove Town to retrieve [Viren's Gift], that treasure cannot fall into the hands of Priest Ogmar!" ”
"Ding, [Drow Camp. The Jelle family] has lowered their relationship with you to [Hatred]. ”
As soon as it was launched early in the morning, such a prompt popped up on the retina.
Be all abroad.
Charles didn't care about the Jelle family, after all, the boss of the Jelle family heard that he was also a quasi-hero professional, and the other party might not be able to get a benefit from him if he came in person.
As soon as he opened the door, he saw the clerk George standing outside the door, bending down and respectfully saying: "Your Excellency, the people from the Platinum Church are here, they are ...... in the castle hall"
"Got it." Charles wakes up Cathy and walks to the hall accompanied by a noble maiden.
There were a total of five people standing in the hall, two of them were paladin players, one was Balasa, and the other was a human, who should be Barraza's mission partner.
"Hello." Charles nodded to the leading platinum priest. He now represents Ogmar and is equal to the platinum priests and does not require much etiquette.
"Pastor of the Holy Arrivals, hello." The Platinum Priest smiled back, "I am the Patriarch of the Platinum Church in Comanso, Ted. ”
"Both of these are important arms of the Comanso Church."
Patriarch Ted then introduced the Native Profession to his left and right to the Charles, "The Holy Warrior of the Platinum Dragon God, Graham, the Exemplar Rank." ”
"The Battle Priest of the Platinum Dragon God, Copperfield, Exemplar Rank."
It was a man and a woman, both wearing heavy armor, and when they saw Charles, both of them looked respectful and bowed their heads slightly in respect.
Whether Charles is a Presence or not, he now represents Ogmar. What's more, he's still a god. Patriarch Ted stared at Charr's forehead, as if sensing the emblem of the gods' blessing hidden there with keen aura.
Charles nodded to Barraza and his mission partner, and invited the Platinum Church group to take a seat.
"I know what you're here for." A smile tugged at the corner of Charles' lips as he glanced at Barasa, who was sitting at the end of the table, "I said yesterday evening that I would help you Platinum Church take Maple Grove Town. ”
"But I beg your pardon for taking Maplelyn without waiting for your church to make a decision." As he spoke, the pastor even stood up and bowed to Patriarch Ted at the table to apologize.
His gesture of lowering his body like this made Patriarch Ted's eyes welled up with panic.
The middle-aged priest hurriedly stood up, bowed deeply, and said, "No, I should thank you for saving Maple Grove Town. Bahamut shelters people of good will. ”
"The lord's seal is here." Charles sat down and instructed Clerk George to bring the wooden box containing the seal, his expression and tone became serious, "Patriarch Ted, I regret that this seal cannot be handed over to you Platinum Church just like that. ”
Ted and the other two archalists looked at each other and nodded. The Platinum Priest smiled and said, "The Platinum Church has never imagined that there is free bread. Pastor Charles, to be honest, if the Platinum Church wants to hold Maple Grove Town, it needs to use the name of the Church of the God of Knowledge. I think we need to talk about a deal ......"
