Chapter 217: Faense's Admonition
But something surprising happened, and the next morning, the arrogant and greedy priest of the temple from yesterday actually ran to the inn to find Leon.
"Lord Baron, I've finally found you!"
After knocking on Leon's door, he wiped the sweat oozing from his forehead, nodded and looked flattering: "Please come with me quickly, the High Priest of Faense is waiting for you!"
At the beginning, this respectful salutation and the posture of the other party made Leon almost think that the other party recognized the wrong person, or that he was not the same person today and yesterday at all?
However, the last sentence made Leon understand that it was not that the gray-robed priest of the temple had taken the wrong medicine, and the reason why he was so condescending was nothing more than that the high priest of Faennes already knew about Leon's visit.
One can imagine how frightened this gray-robed priest who was arrogant and rude to Leon would be when he found out that the high priest valued Leon.
If Leon really cares, crooking his mouth in front of the high priest is enough to make him, a little gray-robed priest, doomed.
High Priest of Farnes once served as the Archbishop of the Temple of Tormond, and is now the Red Robed High Priest of the Temple of the Holy Land of Ugru, whose status is only below the Supreme Pope, and he is the top presence in the temple with great power.
So it's not difficult to understand his posture of almost putting his head on the ground when he faces Leon now.
"My lord, this is something you accidentally dropped yesterday, I brought it to you—" The gray-robed priest also presented a delicate animal skin pouch with both hands.
Leon took it with some confusion and found that this beast skin pocket actually contained dozens of magic crystal coins, which were heavy and heavy.
He couldn't help laughing, the other party was obviously afraid that yesterday's incident would make him settle accounts after the autumn, so he took out dozens of times the compensation in order to be able to get forgiveness.
For such a character, Leon really doesn't have the heart to care.
Although he was very annoyed yesterday, today the High Priest of Faens sent someone to the door, indicating that this guy took the money and did something, otherwise the High Priest of Faens was not a prophet who would know about his arrival.
With this layer, Leon's anger towards him has dissipated most of it, and on the other hand, he really disdains to care about such a character - there is a ** share!
"I didn't lose it," Leon smiled and threw the money bag back to the other party, "Your Excellency, please don't worry, take me to meet the High Priest of Faenns." ”
Seeing that Leon really didn't mean to deal with him, the gray-robed priest put away the money bag and was in a worried mood, and led Leon out of the hotel.
Rose didn't go along, and she had been obsessed with Leon for the night last night, but she couldn't get up in the morning.
On the way, Leon asked the gray-robed priest how he had found him, only to learn that shortly after he left yesterday, the other party had reported the record of his visit, which was originally the rule of the Temple of the Holy Mountain.
The record was seen by a white-robed priest on duty that night, who had come to Uglo with High Priest Faens and was no stranger to Leon's name, so he presented the news directly to the High Priest.
High Priest Farnes quickly decided to meet with Leon, and under the pressure of this, the gray-robed priest who had lost his eyes acted as an errand runner.
As for finding the hotel where Leon was staying, it was not difficult, after all, Leon had registered his true identity when he checked in, and with the power of the temple in Uglu, it was easy to check.
However, what Leon didn't expect was that the gray-robed priest did not take Leon to the Holy Mountain Temple, but went to a tea restaurant not far from the hotel.
In a room guarded by two samurai on the second floor, Leon met High Priest Faense.
After a year of not seeing him, the high priest of Faens has not changed, this high-ranking figure of the temple did not wear the red robe that represented his identity, he wore a white robe and a cup of tea, and looked completely a simple old man.
For the high priest who had given him a lot of help, Leon had great respect in his heart, and he respectfully saluted the other party.
"Sit down and say, there have been a lot of things going on in the Holy Mountain recently, so it's not convenient to receive you in the temple. High Priest Faense pointed to the opposite position and smiled, "God Bless Warrior, your progress is very fast!"
With the strength of his red-robed high priest, of course, he could easily see the strength realm of Leon.
What could happen to the Holy Mountain?What could happen to the place where the temple and the kingdom were located?Leon was slightly surprised in his heart, but he still sat down on the other side of the coffee table.
High Priest Faense personally poured him a cup of tea, and the clear and translucent tea soup poured into the white bone china teacup, and the white mist curled and fragrant.
"Try it, this is a black tea that is only available in the Holy Mountain, and it is usually very rare to drink. ”
The High Priest's actions made Leon a little flattered: "Thank you, without your help, I am afraid I would not have achieved what I am now." ”
This is not Leon's modesty and flattery, if it weren't for the inheritance soul core given to him by Faens, Leon would definitely not be a third-level warrior now, and if it weren't for the support that Faens gave through the Gleigh Sanctuary, it's hard to say what Thrall would be like now!
For this, Leon is full of gratitude, and thinks about the source of drinking water for others.
"That also depends on your efforts, just a Inheritance Soul Core can't play that big role" Faense waved his hand: "To be honest, I was surprised by the speed of your entry, if I'm not mistaken, you should be a top-level third-level mad soul warrior now." ”
The high priest's face showed a look of thought: "In my memory, there is no warrior who can do it like you, even if you also bless the samurai, your future achievements are limitless!"
Such praise made Leon feel a little embarrassed, but his luck was really good, and he gained a lot from narrowly revitalizing several times.
"Also, I find that there seems to be a special power in you..."Faennes continued as he stared at Leon, "and this power has affected you quite a bit, but I don't see if it's good or bad. ”
Leon secretly admired in his heart, he had no idea of hiding it, so he rolled up his sleeve and showed a pair of Soul Eater Arms to Faennes.
"Maybe it's because of this pair of Soul Eater Arms, I got it in the secret realm of the Sanctuary. ”
"It turned out to be the power of a magic weapon!" the high priest recognized the surname of the arm guard at a glance, "You should be careful, although the magic weapon is powerful, there is a price to pay for using it, and sometimes it can be your life." ”
He frowned, as if he had thought of something, "I've probably seen something like this in the temple, it must be one of a set of equipment, right?"
Are there other parts of the Soul Eater set in the temple?Leon was shocked, "That's right, Lord Faenns, as far as I know, there are seven Soul Eater weapons. ”
Memories obtained from the Soul Eater Arm told Leon that the Soul Eater weapon consisted of a helmet, armor, arm guards, fist gloves, leggings, belts, and combat boots, each with special abilities, and if you could put together a set, you would have the power to challenge the gods!
But Leon also knew very well that the possibility of putting together a set of seven pieces was too low, and this set of Soul Eater artifacts had been lost for thousands of years, and it would be tantamount to looking for a needle in a haystack to retrieve them one by one.
So he didn't have any hope for it, but now that he heard Faens say that he had seen other kits, he couldn't help but be excited.
"That's right!" Faense nodded, "The one in the temple should be the combat boots, and I used to be in charge of disposing of the temple's storage items, so I still have some impressions." ”
"But don't make any decisions, the treasures of the temple will not be given to others easily, unless you have made enough contributions to the temple!"
Leon smiled, of course he knew that it was impossible for him to take something from the Holy Mountain Temple for nothing, but since he knew that there was such a thing, there was always a way.
"This is also for your good, you may be able to withstand the backlash power of a magic weapon, a set of magic weapons is another matter entirely, with your current strength, it is best not to consider using the power of these artifacts, it will not be beneficial to your cultivation. High Priest of Faens admonished.
"I understand, thank you for your advice. ”
Leon also understands this truth.
After the ensuing conversation, Leon told High Priest Farnes about what had happened over the year, including him and Salling, and of course, Salling's cooperation with the Templar.
Faennes listened attentively, barely interjecting in between.
It wasn't until Leon had almost finished speaking that he asked thoughtfully, "So, why did you lead your army to join the expedition at this time, isn't this a good choice for you and Salling?"
"I understand, but I need a feat, a feat, one that will take me to a higher position!" Leon replied without hesitation.
This time, he personally led the elite of Sal to participate in the Northern Expedition, and the purpose was not simple.
If it was just for the thunder beast warriors not to become cannon fodder for others, in fact, he could use money to hire some mercenary adventurers to deal with the kingdom's conscription, as long as the price was enough, even samurai could be hired.
What Leon really wanted was a solid battle achievement, and the baron's title was too low for him and Sal to face in the face of danger.
At present, the number of people in the Sal Leader Thunder Beast Battle Camp is one thousand, although with the hidden strength, the real combat power has reached more than a thousand, but in the face of the threat of the southern elves, this strength is far from enough.
Leon has made a vow to lead the army back to the Wuthering Forest!
But as a baron lord, the warriors he can recruit have reached the full value, and the laws of the kingdom should stipulate this, if he really expands the army of two thousand or three thousand, I am afraid that before the elves come, the king [***] will come to Xingshi first to ask for guilt.
