Chapter 257: Parting
In addition to the inexplicable collapse that occurred in the shack area, Lord Reze is going to Cold Mountain to meet Thor's Tyrese informally. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
This matter, it was Lu Bin who took the initiative to let out the news, after all, those people were all employees who took salaries from him, and they were specially responsible for the spearhead of leading public opinion in Riverrun City and even Freeton, and mixing sand with the city hall to prevent his friend Orrick's power from growing was the most successful operation.
As for Lord Rez's temporary departure from Riverrun, many people around him expressed their willingness to follow, especially the top two first followers, the half-elf Aurelia, and the second follower, Nina Wild, the blade of doom.
"Aurelia, you can't come with me. You have to show me the foundation of Riverrun, I don't have to worry about the mage group, the druid master Legolas Deer Helm sits in the natural mage tower, and nothing can go wrong. Mainly the city guards, mainly half-elves, are responsible for the defense of the outer city and the out-of-city areas, and must make sure that no mistakes can be made in my absence. ”
Windranger Aurelia's face was indifferent: "Your Excellency Rez, what are you worried about? Will someone take advantage of your absence to attack us? How is it possible!"
Lu Bin smiled disapprerovingly: "It's very likely! No one dared to move when I was there, once I left Rushing City, even if it was only a few days, someone would take advantage of this opportunity to do something." After all, when I personally pried open the hard shell of the town hall and mixed sand into it, some people went to the consul very dissatisfiedly and cried. Fortunately, my friend was very smart, kept his duty and didn't say anything, and he got through the most difficult time. ”
When Nina Wilde heard these confessions, she suddenly had an arrogant idea, unlike the half-elf Aurelia, a girl born into a knightly family, was very familiar with the rules of the game between nobles. She thinks her chance has finally come, and in order to prove her worth, Nina Wild thinks she shouldn't stay silent.
"Your Excellency, I think it's funny that my father told me bedtime stories when I was a child, and they are very similar to the situation now. ”
Lu Bin looked at the "Blade of Doom" he had created with his own hands suspiciously, this extraordinary legendary suit made this girl of the knight family transform into the sharpest and most dangerous weapon in her hand, not as green and clumsy as it was at the beginning, but now it is ripe sweet and juicy, and it seems that it can be tasted.
"Wait! she can get better and more perfect. ”
Lu Bin looked at Nina Wilder with a kind of fatherly care for the growth of children: "Say, I guess it must be a very interesting story." ”
Nina Wild was encouraged, and immediately puffed up her chest, highlighting the majestic part of herself, and sure enough, seeing a slight change in your eyes, if it were an ordinary person, she would definitely have missed the past, but after many wars, the girl is no longer what it used to be, and immediately understands that her charm has been affirmed by His Excellency Rez.
"A long time ago, there was an old king, he had a group of difficult ministers under him, but his heir was very mediocre, and the old king was worried that after his death, his son would be bullied by the ministers, so he thought of a way......"
Lu Bin didn't understand it at first, and immediately knew what was going on. There is no way, these old-fashioned tricks, Lu Bin, who has been a man in two lives, has long known it. The traverser is so capricious!
Windranger Aurelia glanced down at the unremarkable scenery under the leather armor, compared to Nina Wild's now grown body, she was embarrassed, fearing that sooner or later the "Blade of Doom" would regain her place, so when she heard the beginning of the story, she also guessed the end smoothly.
"The old king pretended to be sick and waited for death, and the ministers who had lost their oppression teamed up to bully the prince, and even joined forces to seize his throne, and when the farce was at the end and the ruling minister was ready to sit on the throne, the healthy old king quietly appeared, solved all these rebellious courtiers, and supported his son to inherit the throne. It's really a fun bedtime story that can only be used to put a child to sleep. ”
After speaking, Windranger Aurelia ignored how ugly Nina Wild's face was, and directly turned her head to face Lu Bin: "Your Excellency, I think that with the political wisdom of Archon Orric, he will not wade into this kind of troubled water at all, without his support, no matter how many unwilling people jump, they are also ants that I can pinch to death with one hand." ”
Lu Bin nodded approvingly, "I designed the balance of power system in the Fryton Territory, the town hall controlled by Orrick my friend, the mage regiment led by the druid master Legolas Deer Helm, the city guard, and the surrounding villages and towns established by loyal vassals can barely restrain each other and achieve some degree of dynamic balance. Unfortunately, there is not enough time, and it will take another five or ten years to settle down before some kind of framework system for compromise can be formed. ”
"I have to say that some people's regional concepts are too stubborn, forcing me to mix sand and introduce the elite of the low-level civilians to restrain me, but I didn't expect it to work very well. Subsequently, the other party also carried out the same strategy with the mage group, but fortunately, there were always a few people with the talent of spellcasters. ”
Windranger Aurelia and Nina Wild first heard about the power structure of Riverrun's upper echelons, evolving from a hierarchy to its current intertwined teeth, and the details were thrilling to think about.
"Don't forget, the Church of the Gods in the Faith Area of the Inner City of Riverrun, unknowingly, they have gained a firm foothold in the Freeton Territory, and have grown rapidly, if it weren't for each other's containment and tilting against each other, they would have become the fourth largest force. ”
Lu Bin shook his head lightly, he had no regrets about the introduction of the Church of the Gods, after all, the mainstream of this world is like this, the Great Council of the Northern Realm is so strong, it can only be reluctantly suppressed, the beliefs of the low-level civilians have been carved up, and it has become impossible to curb the spread of the church's influence.
"You are all my people, understand? When I am away, keep an eye on my inheritance, and don't get involved in other things, especially those that are not directly related, so as to prevent some people from taking the opportunity to make trouble, otherwise I will be very passive when I come back. ”
Aurelia and Nina Wild agreed in unison, and Lu Bin waved them out of Eagle Castle.
Standing on the cliff protruding from the eagle's beak rock, Lu Bin looked down at the increasingly prosperous city and streets under his feet, "Riverrun City is mine! No one wants to snatch her from me, whoever dares to stretch out his claws will chop it up." ”
Lu Bin raised his foot slightly, and the lines of the teleportation circle immediately started from his toes and continued to extend and generate around, the blue arcane energy halo slowly spread, and wisps of smoke gradually rose, converging on the top of his head, quickly settling to his left hand, gathering into small points of light.
Lu Bin grabbed it hard and slammed it heavily on the magic circle on the ground, and the "coordinates" set in the Iron Fort in advance took effect immediately, and his body was surrounded by a light cocoon woven by the warp and weft of the Arcane, and instantly collapsed into tiny points of light like dust, and disappeared out of thin air on the spot.
"Exquisite teleportation technique! It takes a long time, and it seems that our lord has really left Riverrun this time. ”
"Do you want to do it? The time is ripe, how long do we have to wait if we miss this opportunity?"
"Don't worry! I didn't see that the two ladies had just left the Eagle Castle, and perhaps they had already received the order of Lord Reze, waiting for some fool to jump out and bump into their hands, so that the sharp blades in their hands could be cut off. ”
"That's right! There will be people who can't hold back and want to jump out. It's a pity that the Lord can't do anything, otherwise we can legitimately clean up the garbage in Riverrun and purify our team. ”
Since the development of Riverrun, there are too many foreign forces that want to take root, and the people fighting for territory are not only the upper echelons, but also the people below, but no one wants to be the first to come out, after all, no one dares to guarantee that they can have the last laugh.
The situation barely managed to maintain a terrifying balance in an atmosphere of tension and unease, and no one dared to start it, and no one dared to jump out and die, and time passed day by day, until Lord Reze returned to Riverrun, and the turbulent turbulence of the dark tide disappeared in an instant.
At this time, Lu Bin no longer concealed his true identity, even if an old acquaintance from the Vigilant Eye Church led a team to visit, he looked indifferent, and looked at these people who "rejuvenated the teacher and asked for sin" with caring eyes.
"Yes, I am the Oath Keepers, is there a problem with bringing long-lost order to business transactions in the gray areas and dark worlds at the cost of death?"
Lord Rez did not hide his words, and his straightforward and frank tone and demeanor made Priest Gracchus feel a sense of powerlessness in his heart.
It is not an easy thing to press the name of the pseudo-god on this wise and martial pioneer lord, first of all, it will not be able to pass the pass of the five thousand lords of Riverrun, and secondly, it will not be able to stop the mouths of many noble lords of the Northern Council, and secondly, if the Vigilant Eye Church of Riverrun City starts a war with it, it will not necessarily win, and the chance of defeat and loss will be greater.
"This meeting with His Highness Tyrese is very interesting! with his unimaginable accumulation, in his heyday, his quest for official canonization has been mercilessly hindered by fate. The barbarians' totems, their nemesis, the King of the Dark Wizards, and the embodiment of a dark deity, all want to take advantage of the opportunity to cause trouble, trying to prevent or even kill and plunder the divinity of His Highness Tyris. ”
"From this, I also see that the divine order of the Pole Star Veil has been firmly established and unshakable, except for a few predetermined vacant positions. His Highness Tyrese succeeded, but also failed. He fell under the tacit agreement of the gods, and when he was leaving, he told me all the secrets he knew, after all, I was the only one who stood by his side at the critical time, and fended him off the guns and arrows. ”
"Don't worry, I'll get out of here later. Obtaining the secret of the path to immortality, I will cross the infinite void and travel to other worlds. In a world where the order of the gods is not secure, continue to embark on the path of immortality. ”
Priest Gracchus and the others looked at each other, their faces were unprecedentedly ugly, but the departure of the "Oath Keeper" was a good thing, after all, it was also a "rooting" of a false god.
Lu Bin saw what they really thought: "Don't be too happy! I slaughtered the Totem Beast and snatched the Dark Wizard King's magic furnace, but His Highness Tyrese completely destroyed the embodiment of the dark god. He is not angry with the gods who are secretly obscuring him, but it is quite possible that his wrath will be directed against you. I'm not worried about other churches, your Vigilant Eye Church is too high-profile, and it will definitely be taken advantage of by His Highness Thunder. ”
"You'd better stay in church and don't come out, or I can't imagine the consequences...... Alas, how could the incarnation of medium divine power be blown up with a single hammer? His Highness the Thunder God was inevitably too strong! If he was really given the title of god and monopolized the belief area in the northern realm, he might be squeezed into the throne of great divine power in less than a hundred years. ”
Lu Bin shook his head vigorously, trying to shake off the superfluous messy thoughts, but he didn't "see" the frightened expressions of Pastor Gragu and the others, like a group of toads who were scared of the gall by thunder.
