Chapter 217: Diverting Attention
Luo Lin turned his head to look at the people in the hall, and saw that everyone was looking at him, even if he was busy, his ears quietly pricked up, so he smiled faintly: "Since you want to know, I will talk about it in detail." ”
Without Zacquero's orders, soldiers brought in a pod made of tree roots, and someone brought a drink.
Rollin sat down, took a sip of his drink, his eyes were slightly misty, he was already caught in the memories of that day's battle, he slowly spoke, and began to tell about that battle.
In this battle, Luo Lin changed some details slightly, he attributed the credit for defeating the orc martial saint to Vianna, and the rest of the things were also led by Vianna. And he led the territorial soldiers to fight on the city walls with Vianna, becoming a supporting character who fought bravely. Of course, there are no boundaries, including the fall of the lord's wife and the ** division, the bloody battle of the orc city wall, the retreat of the people, and the final burning of Vendôme, etc., every detail is very detailed, which makes people immersive, and they can't help but tremble.
He spoke for more than an hour, in which Zacrow would ask some questions about the orc's combat power, and the rest of the time Rollin was talking, and everyone listened attentively.
When it was time for dinner, they ate and listened, and when Rollin finally finished speaking, everyone present, Zacquero, Holenc, and the bishop were all silent.
After a long time, Zacrow sighed: "Terrible orcs! Venerable Vianna ** Division! ”
He picked up a glass of fruit wine on the table: "I also respect you, Your Excellency Luo ± Lin, you are a brave and fearless warrior!" ”
As soon as he said that, Holenc and the bishop also took their glasses and toasted with Rollin.
Holenc quietly breathed a sigh of relief after listening to the part of the story in which Rollin burned Vendôme's supplies. He smiled and said, "Vianna's decision is really wise! Burn supplies. The orcs ran out of food. Without weapons, no matter how heroic you are, there is nothing to fear. It's no wonder they run into the Hengduan Mountains. ”
"Indeed." Rollin laughed.
He put all the credit on Vianna, one is to make Vianna's image more lofty and awe-inspiring. The powerful ** division is not terrible, although there are not many, but there are still a dozen of them, but in the face of this sudden war, in the face of terrible orcs. It was able to delay for three days, and also severely damaged the orc army, and after ensuring the safe retreat of the people of Vendôme, it burned the supplies, and won a respite for the entire continent, this kind of adaptability and strategic vision is really terrifying. The second is to reduce the world's attention to Rollin, although his current strength is not bad, but it is not enough to enjoy too much fame, which adds a lot of trouble to him out of thin air.
But it wasn't all smooth sailing. The bishop on the side looked at Rollin, but his eyes were a little meaningful. He spoke, "Many of my brothers and sisters have taken refuge in Vendôme, and they have said things that are not as detailed as Lord Rollin's, but they are more or less detailed. I have to say that Master Vianna deserves our respect! ”
This look made Rollin's heart flutter, but when he heard the bishop's last words, he was relieved. In this God-like world, it's hard to really hide something, and since the bishop isn't prepared to tell it, he doesn't have to worry too much. Because the church is the church, and the royal power is the royal power, although the two sides cooperate, they are not completely integrated, and the bishop should not talk much.
At this time, Knight Zacrow suddenly said: "Your Excellency Rollin, Vendôme has fallen, and you have done all your duties as a vassal to the Primo family. With all due respect, although there is a Vianna ** division to protect it, the Primo family has lost Vendôme and has no possibility of rising, what are your plans for the future? ”
Holenc next to him immediately understood what Zacrow meant, he began to recruit people for the Grand Duke Lehman, so he also opened his mouth to persuade: "I think it's a good idea to join the Grand Duke, this generation of the Grand Duke is generous and virtuous, and he is a very good lord, and it will definitely not be as ridiculous as Lord Vendôme." ”
In the battle of Vendôme, how to not mention it, just because he led more than fifty soldiers into a dangerous cave, he was able to completely clear the cave, not to mention, but also bring people out completely, this ability is extraordinary.
If the Grand Duke knew about this, he would definitely spend a lot of money to win over this person.
"There is no rush to consider this question. After all, I am still a vassal of the Primo family, and now, my lord Primo family is in dire need of a land that can be stabilized, and this is also my mission this time. Rollin was vague and finally added: "I have made a promise!" ”
"Hmm~ yes, the warrior's promise must be kept." Zacro said seriously, and then asked: "Regarding the territory, I know that there are only two places that can be canonized, but both places are not very good, either war or foreign invasion. It's not that easy to settle down. ”
Besides, Archduke Lehman is not a fool, this Primo family is a figure who is regarded as a great lord, and he must have ambitions in his heart, even if there is a good place, he will definitely not be canonized to him, otherwise this is not to make himself uncomfortable.
"And the Grand Duke will not be canonized for no reason, and he has to have merit, preferably to have military merit."
Combat exploits are the easiest to bestow, and an ordinary warrior who can kill the opponent's knight in battle with Aoraki's kingdom will be promoted to knight immediately. And to get the fief, this is already an established rule, and if it is a civil official such as a clerk, you work for a lifetime, and when you retire, the Grand Duke may mean to give an honorary title of nobility that cannot be hereditary, land? Unless you really make a huge contribution, don't even think about it!
"This time, although Vendôme fell, he still snatched a fortune. More than half of this wealth will be dedicated to the Grand Duke, and I think it should be enough to get a fief. "This is an astronomical sum of money, dedicated to the Grand Duke, that is an unprecedented merit, the Grand Duke can not use the meaning of honorary titles, must come up with the real thing as a reward.
"Oh, that's okay too." Zacro nodded, he almost forgot that Vendôme was rich, although he only grabbed a part, it is estimated that it is an astronomical amount, and if he gives more than half, this Primo family is also considered to be bleeding.
Holenc also knew the situation of the Duchy of Lehman very well, and since he had determined the canonization of the Grand Guild, he simply introduced the territories that could be canonized: "Two territories, one is Yorksington on the border with the Aoraki Kingdom, and the other is the island of Fix to the east of my territory. The former is the land of war, and there is often friction between our country and the Kingdom of Aoraki, and the most concentrated battlefield is Yorksington. The latter is a little larger, but isolated, and the island is deserted and largely uncultivated. If it was placed in the past, it would be barely said in the past, but with the recent invasion of fishmen, the trouble is no less than that of Walksington. ”
Rollin pretended to think about it, and after a few minutes, he spoke: "The Grand Duke of Lehman and the Kingdom of Aoraki are feuding, and there is a constant war. York Sinton can't have it, it can't develop at all. Fix Island is the only option, those fish-men are stupid and don't have any concept of hatred, just drive them away. ”
"How can there be such a rush. They stayed in the sea, from time to time they went ashore to plunder, and when they chased them, they ran back to the bottom of the sea, and swords, bows, arrows, and magic could hardly hurt them. I've been plagued by fishmen along the coast of my territory, and I know best how difficult this thing can be. Holenc sighed, "But you're right, the island of Fixes is indeed a little bit better than York Sinton, that is, a little bit." ”
Zacrow began, "I might be able to help you with that." But my words don't help much. So, tomorrow when I go back to Fire Lion City, I will take you to my mentor, who has been wanting to see you since he heard about you. ”
The mentor's desire to see Rollin is the biggest reason why he does this, and the second reason is that he wants to have a good relationship with Rollin, and when this person rises in the future, maybe there will be a rich reward. That's exactly what the magician Holenc had in mind.
A strong man in his early twenties, with a bright future, is really a figure worth investing in.
This is also the biggest purpose of Luo Lin's trip, I originally wanted to find an opportunity to propose it, but I didn't expect Zacrow to bring it up first, I was happy, and nodded: "I also admire the Red Moon Sword Saint very much, I feel very honored to be able to meet him!"
