The southwestern province of the kingdom of Bimun, the city of Glai.

When Leon walked out of the City Lord's Mansion, the afternoon sun shone on his body, warm and warm.

Holding the two certification documents in his hand, he had a feeling of unreality.

Originally, when he came to Gray City, Leon just wanted to fight for a place to live for the Hammer Tribe, but now he has obtained a knighthood and a territory, and the gap between the goal and the result is unimaginable.

Even if this tempting cake may contain poisonous filling, Leon has no hesitation to swallow it.

We have a good appetite and strong resistance!

"Congratulations, Baron Leon..."Priest Kritina smiled, "First Lord of Sal!"

Thrall was the name of his new realm, and when he signed the paper, Leon asked Kritina to name his new realm - an honor that represented Leon's gratitude to the Templar priest.

In the ancient divine language of Bimon, Sal represents hope and light.

"Thank you, Mistress Kritina, thank you so much this time, I don't know when I would have been able to do it without you. Leon once again expressed his gratitude.

"I'm just doing what I can..."Kristina shook her head and said: "Whether it's a title or a territory, you deserve it, and although this territory is big, it's not good, and they even need 10,000 gold coins in taxes a year, they are deliberately making things difficult for you!"

"Even if it's my Gray Church, I can't get that much money at one time!"

The priest had doubts in his heart, yesterday, Count Astin obviously showed his intention to give in, but today his attitude is completely different, and he is hard and uncompromising in confronting her, which must be a special reason.

If it weren't for Leon's acceptance of the territory and the unexpected delivery of a hundred magic crystal coins, the final result would have been to go back with the empty title of the baron.

She had some vague thoughts in her heart, but she couldn't tell Leon directly.

In fact, even if she didn't say it, Leon could guess something.

The kingship and divine power of the Beamon Kingdom are coexisting, the kingdom, the army and the temple are interdependent and check and balance each other, and there are many factions and internal frictions, which is one of the important reasons why the Beamon beast clan has repeatedly retreated in the face of the elves.

Obviously, it is very likely that the Earl of Astin made things difficult for him at the behest of some big man, otherwise he would have eaten enough to support the carriage and horses, and the Archbishop of Kritina and Archbishop Faennes?

This, in turn, may involve some power struggle within the kingdom.

To tell the truth, Leon is very disgusted with these deceits, and under the pressure of the enemy, the Beast Clan cannot unite as one, it is simply self-defeating.

But the facts made him have to make a choice, if he wants to survive here, he has no backing behind him, and sooner or later he will be devoured, such as the Collingworth Leader who is eyeing the Hammer Tribe.

At least for now, in the eyes of others, he must be in the camp of the temple, at least Archbishop Faens has an inseparable relationship.

"By the way, Mistress Kristina, this is a little bit of devotion to the Sanctuary of the Temple. Leon took out a leather pouch from his bosom and handed it to Kristina: "Please be sure to take it!"

This animal skin pocket also contained magic crystal coins worth 10,000 gold coins, and after Leon came to Gray City, he directly exchanged the gold bars and mythril he brought with him into magic crystal coins and gold coins that were easy to carry and convenient through the Chamber of Commerce in Gray City.

In order to be able to fight for a piece of territory for the Hammer Tribe, Leon doesn't mind using money to pave the way at a critical moment.

However, his plan has not yet been officially implemented, and the appearance of Kritina has made a great turn for the better, and of course this money has been saved, so after paying this year's territorial taxes, he still has plenty of money.

"That's too much..."Holding the heavy money bag full of magic crystal coins, the beautiful presiding priest was a little embarrassed: "I have received your heart for the Holy Church, but you should keep this money to take care of the tribe!"

The income of the temple comes mainly from the worship of the faithful, and the temples of the five provinces are certainly not short of money to spend, but the churches that sit below will definitely not have enough money, because the churches manage and support the grassroots missions and churches in addition to themselves.

The usual expenses of the priests and Templars were not a small amount, and if a priest was not good at management, it was normal for a deficit to occur.

That's why Kristina was so angry when she heard Count Astin ask for an annual tax of 10,000 gold coins.

"You may not know it, but our tribe is not short of money to spend. Leon smiled: "Not long ago, I led the tribe's thunder beast war camp to capture the Dolai Tu City occupied by the Goblin Diyan tribe, and obtained more than 100,000 gold coins of loot. ”

"It is for this reason that the Third Legion of Elven Unicorns sent an army to encircle and suppress us, so I took the Hammer Tribe to find a way to migrate across the Nucang River. ”

Not to mention Kritina about this, even the entire Beamon Kingdom is unknown, in fact, such a battle record makes it no problem for Leon to be crowned a viscount.

It's just that it's too difficult to get the recognition of the kingdom for this record, and there are many reasons for this, Leon understands it more or less now, and Kritina completely understands it.

She glanced deeply at Leon and said with a slight annoyance, "Then what else did you not tell me?"

There was a strange feeling in Leon's heart, this Kritina seemed to be a gentle and amiable big sister, complaining about her naughty brother, but blaming but caring.

Although the two have only known each other for a day or two, the relationship quickly became close, or this is fate.

From another point of view, Leon's development in the Gray region will also be indispensable for the support of the Temple Sanctuary and Kritina in the future, so not to mention 10,000 gold coins, even if it is 100,000 gold coins, he can take it out happily.

"No!" Leon smiled, "So you can take it with confidence, don't worry that I won't have money to spend!"

"Okay, then I'm welcome, the Templar's expenses have been a bit tight lately!" Kristina took the money.

She knew that Leon was not the kind of person who was cheap and behaved, and since it was a dedication to the temple, she had no reason to refuse again.

The two walked along the street and talked, and Leon asked Kritina a lot about the territory, and Kritina knew everything.

The Swan Clan is a superior clan, and Kritina is from a famous family, although she is a priest, she is no stranger to these things, which makes Leon know a little more about the nobility and the territorial system.

Now that he has the territory, Leon is ready to leave for Colin worth at once, and thousands of people of the Hammer tribe are waiting for his return.

"Uncle, uncle!"

Just as Leon wanted to say goodbye to Kritina, Leon's familiar soft call suddenly came from the side.

He turned his head and saw that the little cat girl was poking her head out of the alley next to the hotel, looking very nervous, looking left and right as if she was wary of something.

"Mistress Kritina, please wait for me. ”

Leon's heart moved, and he immediately walked towards the alley.

His instincts told him that there must be an important reason why this little catwoman was looking for him.

Catwoman Lori shrank into a dark corner, only a pair of big eyes flashed with a faint light, she hurriedly grabbed Leon's hand and said, "Uncle, you are in danger, I heard that someone is going to deal with you!"

"Deal with me?" Leon couldn't help but be stunned: "Who is it?"

"I just heard that I've seen several of Blackjack's men here, and they're terrifying..."There's a look of fear in Catwoman's eyes, "You must be careful!"

Suddenly, Leon felt a hint of alarm in his heart, as if a cold gaze fell on his back, and disappeared in an instant.

Someone has been targeted! Leon's heart is bright.

The little cat woman did not deceive herself, she noticed that there was danger and deliberately ran over to warn her.

"Aren't you afraid that they will find out that you are informing me?" Leon couldn't help but reach out and touch her little head.

Xiao Mi bit her lip and whispered, "Xiao Mi is not afraid, Xiao Mi runs fast!"

She said that she was not afraid, but her thin body was trembling, and it was clear that the Black Jack had given her a great deterrent.

But even so, she still made a choice of action.

Leon's heart warmed, leaned over and took her little hand and said, "You come with me, this place is not suitable for you to stay any longer, I will take you to a place where no one bullies you." ”

The little cat woman was very obedient and let Leon pull her, she raised her little face, and asked softly, "Can you have enough food there?"

"You can eat as much as you want!" Leon smiled and led her out of the alley.

Leon felt the cold gaze again, like a snake letter spit out by a poisoned serpent lurking in the darkness.

Leon Huo Ran turned around, his dark eyes were full of murderous intent!

Passing by on the other side of the street, a man in gray turned around and hurriedly blended into the crowd.

Leon slowly withdrew his gaze and kept walking back to the door of the hotel with Xiao Mi.

He met the priestess's surprised gaze and said, "Lord Kritina, I would like to ask you for a favor. ”

...... Collingworth Castle, Lord's House.

In the study, Viscount Melle had just finished his afternoon tea, which was his usual habit of not being shaken.

The viscount put down the napkin and suddenly asked, "Desel, there's no problem over there, right?"

"Please rest assured...", the young warrior standing aside said in a deep voice, "the people I sent out last night have just returned, and the matter has been completed, I think the Hammer Tribe will never wait for their leader to return!"

"Very well!" said the viscount, smiling with satisfaction.

"The Rock Fortress will arrive in the evening, so we can do it tomorrow!"
