Alan and Yorkshire walked side by side in the market not far from the castle, the crowd moving out of the way like a dividing tide, as if fleeing the plague.

In the face of aristocrats, commoners need to stop and salute to show respect.

Eren happens to be a nobleman, and he is also a notoriously top scrap nobleman in the kingdom.

So he enjoyed a double treatment, that is, as soon as the commoners bowed their heads to him with their front feet, they would point to his back and whisper: "Look, that's the fool who wasted the Duke Lord's countless precious time!" ”

No wonder the civilians scolded him like this, the Grand Duke is called the protector of the kingdom is the reason, in the early years, he led the army to defend the country and conquer the west, which led to the prosperity of the Rock Kingdom today, but later the Grand Duke, who was a very human minister, wasted several years of traveling around the mainland to visit famous teachers because he wanted to train his youngest son, but in the end he got nothing, and many people felt worthless for the Grand Duke.

Alan turned a deaf ear, because he was used to it, and the people were jealous of him.

My father is rich, and Lao Tzu is the second generation of officials, so I am willing to toss around, do you care, I envy you to death.

Yorkshire also turned a deaf ear, as he grinned and rubbed the big bag on his head, and he felt that the civilians had spoken his mind.

Alan glanced at Yorkshire and said disdainfully, "Why are you so far away from me?" Afraid that you will be misunderstood that you are the number one dog leg of the Scrap Lord? ”

Yorkshire rolled his eyes.

After being reborn, it was the first time for Alan to visit the market, and the commoners who were dressed in tattered clothes or even unclothed were all running around with their heads down, staring at the nobles and officials who suddenly appeared, with only perfunctory faces and only indifference in their eyes.

The sudden appearance of the nobles obviously delayed their journey.

"Poor!" Allen sighed like a great man pointing out the country: "The people's life is not easy, hey! ”

"yes!" Yorkshire, who was born in a civilian family, felt the same way, looked at the crowd of people who kept running around sympathetically, and let out a long sigh.

Alan plucked his ears and said, "Everyone is so poor, how can we, the nobles and officials, scrape the ground?" How to squeeze them? ”

"Hey, hey!" Yorkshire laughed twice when he was farting.

Pointing to a few scrawny civilians, Alan continued to sigh: "As a qualified lord, at least let my subjects have enough to eat, right?"

Yorkshire didn't know how to answer, but he still had a little more affection for Allen.

Although this guy is a little bit of waste as a lord, at least he hopes that his subjects can eat well, although he can't do it, but if he can think about it in his heart, he is much stronger than many nobles.

Alan muttered again: "They can't eat enough, how can they have the strength to work, and if they don't work, where can I collect taxes?"

Yorkshire thought it was better to think he was farting, and continued to walk with his head buried and kept his distance from him.

Low thatched huts, dilapidated dirt roads, and skinny ponies all reveal the barrenness of Outpost.

Kicking a pebble at his feet, Yorkshire said happily: "Collect taxes? Most of the Yorkshire subjects, even if they had any surplus copper plates, were handed over to the church. ”

"Church? Why turn it over to them? Alan asked with a puzzled face, "How much do you hand in?" ”

Yorkshire gave Alan a strange look, spread his hands and said, "Don't you know?" All the subjects of the county must pay three copper plates every month for the blessing of the Most High God, and in addition to this, they must take 30% of their income to contribute to the church. ”

"Three out of ten?" Alan gasped, this is eating human blood.

"The outpost county borders the wild ancient plains, and the barbarians and some ogres often attack the border defenses, and the only defense force in the county is the papal guard of the church, and if they don't hand over the copper plates, the guard will not protect the civilians of the outpost for no reason."

After saying that, Yorkshire pointed to a building not far away and snorted coldly.

Looking in the direction of his finger, Alan saw a Gothic-style church not far away, standing in the middle of the main road and out of place with the surrounding low huts and thatched houses, and the civilians passing by were far away in awe.

The color of the church is mainly composed of red and golden colors, the skeleton scrolls and flying buttresses are also made of stone, and a tall statue of the god above the vault exudes a faint golden light.

Alan walked over with great interest, looking up at the statue on the high place thoughtfully.

The prototype of the statue should be the supreme father believed in by the Holy See, the depiction is lifelike and ingenious, with a majestic but kind face, holding a heavy code of law in his left hand and a golden lightning bolt in his right hand.

Alan pursed his lips slightly, he had learned magic knowledge since he was a child, and he could see at a glance that the idol had been cast with a holy light spell, that is, to deceive civilians who did not know how to do it.

Yorkshire stood next to him, noticing that Eren was staring at the idol with disdain, and the expression on his face was complicated, as if it was contempt, or was it sympathy?

When he saw a middle-aged man dressed as a priest walking out of the church, Yorkshire immediately showed a look of awe, slowly lowered his head, and no longer looked directly at the statue.

"Bless you, Holy Father, Your Excellency!" The priest walked up to Allen, nodded and continued, "I am Bishop Wood of the Outpost Diocese, and I am here to greet you. ”

"This idol can't be made of pure gold, can it?" Alan asked, pointing to the idol.

Wood's expression was very unnatural, and he frowned and glanced at Allen's finger and said, "Please be in awe of Your Excellency the Earl!" ”

Alan smiled and withdrew his fingers, scolding two words in his heart.

Yorkshire looked past the bishop and found a pool of blood in front of the church, and not far away two papal knights had bandages wrapped around their arms, as if they had just been wounded.

Noticing Yorkshire's gaze, Bishop Wood explained, "Not long ago, several mercenaries from the Duchy of Lotre broke in and tried to snatch the dragon's egg, but it was all right, and the papal knights had killed them on the spot. ”

Alan noticed that the bishop's face was a little unnatural, and asked suspiciously, "What the hell is the dragon egg?" ”

"Eggs laid by the Black Dragons of Hell." Wood explained: "The Beamon Orcs have a crack in the Alternate Plane Space, and many Hell Black Dragons have escaped, and the Beamon Orcs also accidentally discovered this Black Dragon Egg, and their shaman priests were unable to purify the evil power on the Black Dragon Egg, so they had to ask the Holy Light Priest of the Holy See to intervene. ”

Alan quipped, "You cooperated with the Beamon orcs, don't they believe in shamanic teachings?" What's the matter, the faith is unified so quickly? ”

"In the face of the evil forces of the other world, any disagreements on the continent of San Cassis can be put aside first." Wood was not to be a religious madman, and continued: "But there is only one supreme God, and if you do not believe in it, that is, if you are an enemy, you should destroy it, and the glory of the Father should shine on every corner of the continent." ”

Yorkshire leaned into Allen's ear and whispered, "There are a lot of outsiders in the county, they should all come for this black dragon egg, and there are many magicians and heretics who practice evil spells. ”

"Can I see the upside down?" Alan was very curious about what this dragon egg looked like, and after being reborn, he was very curious about the powerful dragon, and the dragon couldn't see it, so it was okay to touch the dragon egg twice, and he would go back in a while to brag with Dina.b.

Wood smiled, and said lightly: "Your Excellency, you don't mention it, I also want to discuss this matter with you, I want to transfer this dragon egg to your castle for you to keep on your behalf, just last night, the church priest heard the whisper of the Holy Father, hoping to leave this dragon egg to you to purify." ”

Alan was stunned, he didn't understand how he could have something to do with such a mess for no reason.

Yorkshire looked nervous and glanced at Wood with an unkind expression.

The waste material nobles next to him don't understand, how can he not understand that the whispers of the Holy Father are pure farts, this is just a disaster for the church, and most of the people who come to seize the eggs of the evil dragon are heretics, and these heretics have different forces behind them, and the only thing these forces have in common is that they believe in false gods in the mouth of the Holy See.

If any force kills Eren by mistake in the process of seizing the dragon egg, Lord Kler, as the Grand Duke of the Kingdom, will take revenge, even if he doesn't care about his stupid son, and the only beneficiary during this period is the Holy See, and at that time, the Kingdom of Locke may be forcibly tied to the chariot of endless killing of the Holy See.

Thinking of this, Yorkshire couldn't care about his identity anymore, and interjected: "No, Your Excellency is neither a magician nor a priest, this kind of alien thing has a very powerful negative power, and those who are not strong in their minds often become mentally confused and go crazy after approaching, and Your Excellency Baron can't agree." ”

He wasn't worried that Alan would really be affected, to be honest, it didn't matter to him whether this scrap lord died or not, but the matter was big, if it really developed in the worst direction, it might even affect the future of everyone in the Rock Kingdom in the future.

A church in the outpost county brought a lot of suffering to the innocent civilians, and he couldn't imagine what a catastrophe it would be for the kingdom of Locke to be forcibly tied to the chariot of the Holy See.

He was also thinking about it sometimes, everyone in the kingdom knew that the Grand Duke was not a person with a small belly, and was he sent to the outpost county really just because of a joke, or did it have other far-reaching meanings?

But he couldn't think of an answer, if he was a nanny for the eldest duke's youngest son, he couldn't think of any talent he had, he wasn't a magician, he didn't know martial arts, and his ability was not the best choice.

If he supervises the front-line battle situation in the outpost county, he doesn't have so much say in it, and even if there is a large-scale enemy attack, the garrison of the frontier fort can come overnight, and it has nothing to do with him.

"You know a lot about the old testament, hehe, who said it wasn't, I'm not a priest, how can I purify this thing?" Alan said with a smile: "This kind of ghost thing from the different plane, you better keep it for yourself, I won't look at it, the maid at home is still stewing soup, it's not early, goodbye to you." ”

Wood smiled and didn't go any further.

Alan pulled Yorkshire and turned away, although he didn't understand what the bishop meant to let him keep the dragon's egg, but he didn't believe in any nonsense like the Holy Father's whispering, it was better to leave early.

He thought that if the Holy Father could really whisper, he would definitely not say this, but directly entrusted his dream to the people of the Holy See: That kid Alan is a knockoff from another world, and he is an atheist, you go and I will kill him。。。。。

Wood looked at Allen's departing back and shook his head in disappointment.

What he said just now was just a temporary idea to say it with the attitude of trying it out, to see if he could fool this stupid boy of the Grand Duke's family, and it would be a great achievement to fool him, and there would be no loss if he didn't succeed, and it would not be too late to wait for the Holy See to come and the senior priest to purify this egg in a few days.

Allen, who returned to the market, scolded himself: "Damn, are you stupid when Lao Tzu is stupid, take me as a robber, think I'll be fooled, I look so stupid.b?" ”

Yorkshire nodded unnaturally.

Still, he glanced at Alan with relief.

It seems that this guy is not hopelessly stupid, and just wanted to praise a few words, but found that the other party's eyes were attracted by a half-old child.

Alan looked fixedly at a small child not far away, the child was dirty, wearing a wide and leaky robe, and the cold autumn wind made his face red and frozen, and he was struggling to pull a short carriage, and his dirty face could not tell whether it was a boy or a girl.

The pony dragged a cart of stone bricks to a standstill, and the child did not take a step forward despite all persuasions, and the child sat down on the ground weakly, crying sadly, and no one around him stopped to help, and hurried away as if he had long been accustomed to it.

Yorkshire was also a little sad when he saw this scene, but there was no way, the subjects of the county were like this, there was no comfortable house, there was no future to look forward to, and he couldn't change anything, because this is the outpost county, and there is a blood-sucking damn church, because this is the border of the kingdom, because there are always invaders trying to break in.

Alan silently stepped forward and said to the child with a cold expression: "Your whole body is so dirty, do your family know?" Hurry up and get out of my way, uncle. ”

Yorkshire clenched his fists, he regretted that he had just blocked Wood's proposal, why didn't all of this nobles die.

The child looked at Alan innocently, and finally stood up silently, wiped his tears and put it aside.

"Uncle, I've changed my attention, you can continue to sit there and cry." With that, Alan turned around and walked back.

Yorkshire didn't hide the anger on his face this time, and Alan said coldly: "Collect your cheap sympathy." ”

Alan, who had walked a few steps, suddenly turned back to Yorkshire and shouted, "Let's go? What are you doing there? ”

"What? Where to? Yorkshire didn't know why, just facing Alan's indifferent look, he felt a palpitation for no reason.

"Go to church!" Alan pointed to the little kid just now and asked suspiciously, "Aren't you tired of what the church does?" Big brother, aren't you, you still want to lie to me with this kind of acting? ”

Yorkshire looked at Alan's handsome and resolute face, slightly distracted.
