Chapter 54
The talents who can be entrusted with important tasks by Romon Gerten must be relatively good. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ο½ο½ο½Uο½Eγ However, it was because of his excellence that he guessed Ray's true strength.
So he was rightfully stupid.
Gerten is a viscounty, bordered by the wilderness and frequented by many adventurers. But this is not a convenient place to get around, and there are no prey with high economic returns. The adventurers who will act here are generally between rookies and old birds, and intermediate levels such as Satan are even first-class elites. Generally, the captain who leads the team, or a well-known master, has this level.
As Luo Meng's cronies, those two are also his very capable generals, but they are only the more powerful among the intermediate adventurers, and they haven't even touched the threshold of high-level adventurers.
The most powerful known master of the entire Gerten Territory is Leon Guevas, Bishop of the Church of the Knights and Pioneers. It was a divine servant who was said to have touched the threshold of the legendary realm. Since being persuaded by the first Viscount Gerten two hundred years ago, he has brought his companions here to establish a church. Two hundred years have passed in a blink of an eye, and he has become the Dinghai Divine Needle of the entire Viscount of Gerteng, and his authority is even higher than that of the Viscount. In this inheritance dispute, if he hadn't made it clear that he would not participate or get involved, Romon would never have put his mind on Gerteng.
Playing tricks with a strong man who has lived for two hundred years and is about to cross the limit of mortals, and plotting to snatch the family property left by his old friend, this kind of death-seeking thing is definitely not something that any smart person with a normal mental state would do.
And now, Steele, who should have been killed by her lovers and abandoned in the wilderness, not only returned, but also brought back a strong man who was suspected of being close to the legendary realm?!
This...... This...... It's simply ......
The person in charge of monitoring had his mind spinning around several times, but he couldn't come up with a suitable word.
If Sui Xiong was here, he would definitely finish this sentence for him - isn't this the famous Internet saying "It's a dog"!
"Ray, it looks like someone is afraid of you. He was so frightened that Sui Xiong sensed it from a long distance and pointed out the direction to Lei, "What the hell have you done? That man is about to pee his pants." β
"What else can I do? I've barely done anything decent in all these years except murder, arson, and robbery. Maybe this is the one who was suffering thousands of miles away, maybe it was the lucky one who didn't do enough to escape when I destroyed the Iron Sand Chamber of Commerce. β
"Can you stop talking about killing other people's whole families, I don't feel comfortable listening to it. β
β...... I have never killed an old and weak woman or child in my life, okay! I entered through the gate of their Chamber of Commerce, and I killed them all over the inside and out--there except for the businessmen and thugs, where did the 'old and young' come from!" Lei couldn't help but shout for Sui Xiong's accusations that he had made up for his brain, "The smuggling chamber of commerce is a group of people who lick blood with knives or kill people without seeing blood, who will bring their own children into the Chamber of Commerce!"
Sui Xiong laughed embarrassedly twice, and recalled it carefully, it seems that Lei did never say that he would kill other people's whole family, but he just subconsciously made up a scene of "full of beheadings" - in this way, he still wronged him?
"Looks like you're not hopelessly bad!" he sighed.
"Nonsense! I'm so disgusted in the bandit circle that I can only be a lone thief, so it's hopelessly bad?" Lei wanted to hold back and not complain, but he couldn't hold back after all, "Your Majesty the Jellyfish God, please don't judge whether human beings are good or not with jellyfish morality! Even if you use spells, it's a little more reliable!"
"The moral basis on which the spells of the Detection Faction are based...... I don't really think so. Sui Xiong said, "It's just that there is order and chaos, and the distinction between good and evil, as far as my personal feeling is concerned, it is worth negotiating." β
"I won't get involved in such a high-end issue, you can discuss it with any god. β
"I think you are a person with insight, thoughts, and levels. It's a great way to discuss these kinds of in-depth questions......"
"No, I'm not fit at all! The hellish questions you've been asking these days are driving me crazy. Unless you want a madman to travel with you, don't talk to me about these issues!" Ray immediately shook his head quickly in his heart, and strongly refused, "As far as I'm concerned, even if you discuss with me 'close the gates now, start killing from here, how many people you have to kill to take this viscounty'...... As long as you don't discuss those issues, you can do anything!"
Sui Xiong sighed helplessly, regretting the loss of a good communication partner.
As he spoke, the two horses had already passed through the city gates, and without stopping for a moment, they walked towards the Viscount's mansion without hurrying or slowing.
"The Viscount Gerten's Mansion was built two hundred years ago, but after years of renovation and expansion, only the gate and the Inheritance Court, where the family's major councils were held, are still the original, and everything else has been built one after another. "Steele was familiar with the place, and everywhere he went, he was able to tell Ray about its history.
Unconsciously, the debauchery on her body slowly subsided, and gradually revealed her deep affection for this city and this mansion. It's like a bad boy who doesn't learn well outside, and returns to his hometown after many years. Although his character has changed, the memories of his youth come to mind bit by bit, and he can't help but vaguely return to his innocent and kind childhood.
"Isn't this woman irretrievable......" Sui Xiong, as a god, could clearly feel Steele's inner transformation, and couldn't help but laugh.
Ray sneered and interrupted Steele's words: "Miss Steele, I saw the store I passed by just now, the store seems to be newly renovated, and it seems that the situation of Gelteng is quite stable." β
Steele was stunned for a moment, sobered up from his memory, turned his head to look at the shop, thought for a while, and said, "That shop ......" After thinking for a while, he still shook his head, "I don't have much impression......
"Shall we ask somebody, then?" Ray said, "How," but without waiting for Steele to agree, he jumped off his horse, grabbed a passing adventurer, and asked what was going on.
"About a month ago, the shopkeeper went out to buy goods and was rushed by someone on horseback, scared the horse, and the cart overturned. A truckload of goods was confiscated. The adventurer knew the specific situation, and told him 1510, "I didn't come back, I hanged myself on the side of the road, and my wife and children also committed suicide." Then the shop was bought by a relative of an aristocracy, renovated and reopened. β
Lei remained silent and continued to ask: "Then how much did it cost to buy this store? The location is so good, it must be very expensive, right?"
"It's not expensive, isn't this store in debt, the current boss took the debt, and the store was offset, and he didn't pay a single copper. Otherwise, how could the owner's wife and children die? The adventurer smiled and shook his head, "So it's better to be a nobleman!"
"What happened to those debts?" Ray continued to ask, with a posture of "breaking the casserole and asking to the end".
"It was originally a debt caused by poor circulation, and the goods were confiscated, so there was no money, so I was in debt. When the goods are returned, the debt will of course be settled. The adventurer sighed, "This friend, don't make fun of me, okay!
After saying that, he shook his head, sighed, and walked away.
Lei smiled, and asked casually as if he didn't care: "The merchant's goods can be confiscated if they fall on the ground, this decree has been abolished in many places in the Gold Coin Federation, and I can't imagine that it is still maintained here-it seems that it is quite difficult to collect taxes on your side!"
"Of course, we are a small place and there are not enough sources of tax revenue. It's hard to maintain decency without thinking of more ways to subsidize subsidies!" Steele also looked a little emotional, and said with a wry smile, "In order to maintain decency, I really have to think of a lot of ways." Alas, these laborious things are really not for the aristocracy to do! I wish the Federation would greatly reduce the laws that are not conducive to the collection of taxes!"
In the midst of the psychic communication, Lei sneered and asked, "Your Majesty the Jellyfish God, do you still think that this woman is not irretrievable?"
Sui Xiong was silent for a while, and sighed, "I suddenly feel that your proposal just now is very valuable and worth a try. β
"What proposal?"
"Block the city gates, go straight in, and take this territory. β
Re stuck: "Hey, this is a joke! I still have a wanted copy of the Cruel Hunter Church, and you don't want me to hang another one...... No, it's several wanted! And it's impossible! Even if you take action yourself, you will kill all the people in this city, and you won't be able to occupy this territory! I'm not even a ...... of their Gerten family."
"Didn't you say it, such a trivial matter as blood, just a magic ritual of twenty or thirty thousand gold coins. β
"But why should I change the bloodline of this bullshit country viscount! I can't say it anymoreβ" Lei suddenly realized something, and hurriedly shut up, making Sui Xiong very dissatisfied.
This guy is so alert, even if he says one more word just now, he can understand the origin of this guy!
Sighing helplessly, Sui Xiong changed the topic back: "This woman is indeed not saved...... Maybe we should find a younger, simpler, after all, a blank piece of paper is easy to write. β
"No matter how simple it is, it will be corrupted by the luxurious life of the aristocracy. "Ray had no faith in the nobles at all.
"Then find someone with a simple personality and indifferent desires. β
"How can there be such a person among the nobles!"
"Look for it among the non-nobles, anyway, it's just a matter of twenty or thirty thousand gold coins for a ceremony. β
β...... This time I have to admit that you have a point......"
So the matter was settled, and when he settled down in the Viscount's Mansion, Ray showed his face slightly, supported Steele, and leisurely walked around the city of Gelten.
As for the reason or something, he didn't bother to say anything, no one here could stop him anyway - to be fair, no one would stop him anyway.
Gelten City is not big, and it will be completed after a small half a day of one person and one god. Coincidentally, they really found a person who was not very old, had an indifferent personality, and had some talents.
Golten family side branch, Gorten City Librarykeeper, Orianne Gerten.
