Chapter 120: Leon's Gift
"I also heard that you Naga can sell tens of thousands of gold coins in the black market of the human race, or even 100,000 gold coins!"
The corners of Leon's mouth pulled out a cruel smile, looking at the other party like a wolf seeing a fat lamb: "Think about it, how many gold coins can you five bring me, I can use this money to buy enough weapons and recruit countless warriors, we will catch as many as you Naga come!"
On the Glowing Continent, the hobbies of some Terran nobles can be said to be well-known, and for their perverted and twisted **, women of many races have become secretly traded goods in the underground black market.
Under the temptation of heavy money, some slave traders even dared to attack the elves, which is also an extremely important reason for the bad relationship between the elves and the human race.
A rare demon clan like Naga, as long as it can be transported to the underground black market of the human race for auction, there is absolutely no problem in auctioning tens of thousands of gold coins.
Naga closed her mouth, and the others trembled with fear in their eyes.
They may not be afraid of death, but it is worse than death to think of being a slave in the hands of perverted aristocrats—the notoriety of the Terrans is so loud that even Naga in the swamps of the West has heard of it.
Seeing that he had succeeded in scaring the other party, Leon smiled and said, "But our Sal Territory has no intention of making enemies against your Naga, I still say the same, we are just defending our own territory." ”
"I won't kill you, I won't sell you, I can release one of you first, and as long as you send someone to negotiate with us and reach a non-aggression agreement, I will naturally let you all go. ”
The Naga looked at each other, never expecting Leon to think like this.
Just getting rid of the shadow of death and avoiding the doom of becoming slaves still made them feel a little happy and relaxed.
The Naga's demeanor all fell into Leon's eyes.
Peace talks with the Naga were a deliberate decision made by Leon, the demon clan has never been the worst enemy of the orcs, and for Salling, the elves in the south are the real enemy.
The war that broke out with the Naga was ultimately a territorial dispute, and Leon didn't want to drag the Thrall into an endless and long-term war with the other party.
He learned from Elder Ug that the Naga tribe was sparsely populated and valued his own people very much, so when he set up the battle situation, he ruthlessly slaughtered the water demon warriors, and tried his best to capture the Naga mages alive.
The result was perfect, with all five Naga in the net, which gave Leon the biggest bargaining chip in his hands.
As long as these five Naga are alive, I believe that the other party will not care about the casualties of those cannon fodder characters, for example, the reason that the elves will not care about goblins is the same.
"You'll have to stay here for a while until then," Leon concluded, "don't try to run away or attack my guards, don't challenge my patience." ”
That night, a Naga was released by Leon.
As for whether she would bring back the negotiators or bring a large number of warriors to fight Salling again, Leon was fully prepared.
Two days later.
There is no news yet from the Naga tribe, but the city of Sal has welcomed several unexpected visitors.
"Mistress Kritina, why are you here?"
Leon, who had just returned from training with the soldiers, couldn't help but feel a surprise when he saw the swan priest sitting in the living room of his mansion.
"Why, aren't you welcome?" said Kritina smiling and standing up, as graceful and beautiful as ever.
Behind her, stood two fierce Templars, their stern expressions and the golden temple insignia on their chests as the most striking identification.
Elder Munstein and Xue Ni were in the living room, and Leon's lord's mansion had just been built, which was both his residence and the center of power for the entire Thrall Realm.
"Your arrival is a blessing to me and Salle!" Leon smiled and saluted her.
Leon had a very good impression of this beautiful swan priestess, and if it weren't for Kritina's full support in Gray City, he wouldn't have been able to get the territory so smoothly.
However, what Leon didn't expect was that Kritina didn't come to Sal City for sightseeing, but to ask for guilt.
"Baron Leon, you asked the mercenary union to set up an office in Saarland, why don't you want our Templar to set up a mission for you?"
Although the swan priestess's slight anger was mostly a joke, it was an extremely important task for the sanctuary attached to the temple to establish a mission in a village inhabited by orcs.
If Thrall in the Grei region had a mercenary guild but no templar mission, it would be a dereliction of duty on the part of Kritina.
Leon and Elder Munstein smiled at each other's questions.
Leon smiled and said, "Lord Kritina, let's go out and see together... Well, the gift that Salling and I dedicated to the temple!"
In the central square of Saar, the huge stone statue of the beast god is still in the process of construction, and the thick wooden frame supporting it is surrounded by a circle, and several craftsmen pick up the hammer and beat the bell, a busy scene.
On the east side of the square, a magnificent building rises from the ground, in which hundreds of green-skinned goblins are busy, carrying stones to build the stone walls under the direction of craftsmen.
Although the building is still a long way from completion, it is the largest building in the entire Thrall city in terms of what has been completed so far, surpassing the Lord's Mansion in Leon.
"Lord Kritina, this is the mission in Sal, and I believe it will be completed in the next two months. Leon pointed to the building and said, "I wanted to surprise you when it was completed." ”
In the earliest Bimon beast tribes, only the temple was a place for believers to pray and sacrifice, but later the temple learned from the experience of the Terran church, and derived from the temple the next level of the temple and the most basic missionary house.
By building churches extensively and sending a large number of priests, the temple's power in the kingdom of Bimon was greatly developed.
It was through the control of the sanctuary and the mission that the temple was able to wield enormous power.
When Leon built the city of Sal, he had already planned the mission into it, and for the current Salling, the temple was a thick thigh that had to be hugged.
At present, the situation within the Kingdom of Beamon is complicated, with the royal family, the major nobles, the military and the temple each holding different powers, and the open and secret battles have never ended.
After the miracle of the Temple of Tormond, Leon and the Hammer tribe he represented were considered to be part of the temple, and the support of the High Priest of Faens was undoubtedly the best proof of this.
Leon does not want to get involved in the kingdom strife, but he has a conflict with the local forces and a grudge with the military forces, and if he loses the support of the temple, Salling has no future at all.
Therefore, this thigh has to continue to be held, as a member of the kingdom, unless Leon has absolutely powerful power, it is impossible for him to refuse the kind support from the temple.
And this church is the best way for Leon to express his gratitude to the temple.
Kritina suddenly smiled and gave Leon a "count you know" expression: "Well! if you have a heart, I'll let you go this time!"
"But—" she took the small hand of Xueni, who was standing beside her, and said to Leon, "Your Xueni has the gift of a priest, and I like it when I look at it."
"I negotiated with Elder Monstein to ask her to come to Glay Sanctuary to study with me for a while. ”
"If she can become a real priest in two or three months, then I will arrange for her to come back to preside over the mission here, what do you think?"
Let Xue Ni study at the Grey Sanctuary?Leon was a little surprised, and couldn't help but turn his head to look at the rabbit girl.
Xue Ni's face was slightly red, and she nodded at his gaze and said, "Yes, Brother Leon, I want to become a priest and contribute to you and the territory in the future!"
As long as Xue Ni is willing, of course this is a good thing! Leon knew in his heart that Kritina's decision was also a gesture of favor to himself.
In fact, she could have sent a few gray-robed priests to preside over the mission.
Of course, in this way, the relationship between Salling and the temple will undoubtedly be closer, because in the eyes of everyone, Xue Ni will eventually become one of Leon's wives, and the relationship between the two is not a secret.
"Okay!" said Leon, "Then you must study hard with Kritina and try to come back as soon as possible!"
Xue Ni nodded, not knowing what she thought, and her pretty face turned even redder.
Leon looked at the heat in his heart, and he was a little reluctant.
During this time, at night, Xue Ni was by his side to serve gently, bringing tea and water to make the bed and fold the quilt, although it can't be a real **, but there is no problem with warm hands and eyes hugging and kissing.
If he suddenly leaves Xueni, Leon probably won't be able to adapt easily.
But when she becomes a true priest, then... Leon suddenly understood the reason why Xiao Nizi was shy, and couldn't help but be happy.
"If I have the chance, I will go to Glei City to see you!"
The matter was a foregone conclusion, and Kritina took a circle around the city, accompanied by Leon.
Although the city of Sal is still under construction, the Swan Priestess also expressed her sincere admiration for Leon and others to build such a city in such a short time, especially the reasonable and excellent layout planning of the city.
After all, Leon came from another highly civilized world, although he was not engaged in urban planning, but some advanced ideas were enough to influence Rubin and other craftsmen, and the perfect combination of the two led to the current Sal City.
Back at the Lord's Palace, Leon was about to order Chef Richard to be summoned for the dinner when a scout hurried to report the emergency.
The messenger sent by the Naga tribe has finally arrived!
