Chapter Ninety-Nine: A Turning Point Appears!
Leon was not short of patience, but the Hammer tribe who remained in Collinworth could not afford to wait long, and if the news of his arrival in Glay City to seek the hunting area was returned, it was impossible to predict what kind of reaction the Collinworth Territory would make.
So Leon went to the City Lord's Mansion again, and after a longer wait than the first, he saw the old fox steward again.
"I have conveyed your wishes to Lord Count Astitin, and Lord Lord Count has indicated that he will send someone to investigate the Hammer Tribe in the near future, but the matter in the Hunting and Pastoral District is very important, and I cannot give a reply for the time being. ”
The old steward's attitude was still polite and polite, but the content of the actual surname was almost equal to zero: "Recently, the Earl is going to inspect the defense of the northwest of the Gray region, so your request for a visit will not be fulfilled for the time being, maybe you can wait a few more days, and I will inform you when there is news." ”
This old fox steward has a good official tone! Leon sighed secretly in his heart, the other party's Tai Chi kung fu is absolutely perfect, even if he wants to get angry, he can't find a single reason.
This road will not work! Leon knew in his heart that even if he continued to consume with the other party, he would not get results and would not be able to see the real person.
"Thanks, excuse me!"
When Leon got up and left and walked to the door, the old fox steward suddenly opened his mouth and whispered, "Your Excellency Leon, I think it's better for you to go back early." ”
What does this mean, Leon immediately turned his head, only to see the other party bowing his head and writing, as if the voice just now was just his hallucination.
Leon felt a pang in his heart, this old fox steward undoubtedly gave himself a hint, indicating that the actual situation is not so simple!
Most likely, there's a change on Collingworth's side!
When he walked out of the City Lord's Mansion, Leon felt powerless for the first time in his heart.
He didn't have the slightest foundation and connections in the city, and it was too difficult and too difficult to do something big that touched all aspects.
Let's go back!
After all, Leon's heart is resolute, and this setback is far from enough to defeat him, since staying in Gray City has no results, then he can only go back first, and it is a big deal to continue to migrate with the Hammer Tribe.
Bigger than Momon, is there really no place for them?
Leon will never believe it!
Having made up his mind, he immediately returned to the rented hotel, ready to get his bags and weapons back and leave.
But what Leon didn't expect was that there was someone waiting for him in the hotel.
And a white-robed priest!
"Your Excellency Divine Bless Samurai, I've been waiting for you for a long time!"
The white robe concealed the moving body, this unexpected visitor has an intoxicating beautiful face, long golden hair tied up with silver rings, an amiable smile, a graceful and luxurious bearing, and a pair of white wings that are slightly spread behind him, as if he is a messenger from the heavenly realm to the mortal world.
She was a swan priestess, she was about thirty years old, but the years had not left many marks on her face, and a pair of wise brown eyes looked at Leon with a hint of curiosity.
"Who are you?" asked Leon in surprise.
"I am Kritina Swo, the Priest of the Church of Glais. The beautiful priestess smiled and said, "Archbishop Faens already knows the news that you have returned to the kingdom of Bimon with your tribe. ”
Archbishop Faennes!Leon was somewhat embarrassed, and when he came to Glay to seek a hunting area for the tribe, he also thought about taking the route of the temple.
But the city of Tomond is a little farther away, and Leon really doesn't want to ask the other party, and wants to accomplish this thing through his own strength.
Unexpectedly, his efforts were completely ineffective, but the temple took the initiative to come to the door.
Leon was not surprised that the other party was well-informed, the Templar was a subordinate organization of the Temple, and it was distributed in all the large and medium-sized cities of Bimon, and those small towns also had more basic churches.
They are the tentacles of the temple in the kingdom and the cornerstone of the power, and although the presiding priest of the Sanctuary of Christina is only a white-robed priest, his status and influence are definitely no less than that of Count Astine.
Her appearance made Leon suddenly see a hint of a turnaround.
And that's exactly what happened.
"Archbishop Faens has asked me to help you in any way I can, he understands the current situation of you and the Hammer Tribe, and has given me a mandate. ”
In the small living room of the suite where Leon lived, Priestess Kritina handed him a golden scroll: "This is proof of your title, and from the day it is signed, you are Baron Leon!"
What is going on? Leon felt a little incredible, as if a big pie suddenly fell from the sky and happened to fall on his head!
"You don't need to be surprised that this certificate was signed a month ago, and Archbishop Faens anticipated that you would need it one day, so he prepared in advance and sent someone to deliver it as soon as he got the news. Priest Kritina said, "With your status and for the merits you have made for the temple and the kingdom of Bimon, this title is well deserved!"
Leon couldn't help but feel thrilled when he held this precious scroll.
Of course, he deserved it, and almost single-handedly led the Hammer Tribe out of the brink of destruction, containing the orcs scattered in the Wuthering Forest, and exterminating two goblin tribes... Finally, he brought the Hammer tribe back to the kingdom of Bimon.
If that's not merit, then what's okay?
It's just that Leon returned to the kingdom of Beamon with hope, and what did he get? Collingworth's calculations, the cold reception of the city of Glais, the kingdom was lukewarm to this returning wanderer.
But now, he's finally getting the recognition he deserves!
"With this title certificate, you can seek a real domain from the Earl of Astien. Priest Kritina continued: "Archbishop Faense is about to go to the Holy Land, and he asked me to tell you that this is the last thing he can do for you, and that the road ahead will depend on you, and he hopes to meet you again in the Holy Land one day!"
"Thank you!" Leon thanked from the bottom of his heart, ashamed of some of the speculations he had made about Archbishop Faennes.
"Mistress Kritina, there's another problem, although I have this certificate of knighthood, I can't see Earl Astin right now, and I'm worried about the situation on the Collingworth Territory..."
"I understand this, they shouldn't treat the returning heroes like this!" Kritina said solemnly, "Actually, the temple got the news two days ago, but the current situation in the kingdom is very complicated, even Lord Faense can't openly stand up and welcome and support you!"
"This is mainly because of our relationship between Beamon and the elves, there are different voices among the nobles, the senate, the army and the temple, some people want to permanently give up the land south of the Nucang River and reach a non-aggression peace agreement with the elves, so we can't publicize it to you who insist on fighting in the Wuthering Forest, so as not to cause displeasure on the part of the elves. ”
"What is the reasoning of this, is it wrong for us to defend our homeland?!"
Leon was suddenly furious, he never thought that there was such a mainstream voice among Beamon, could it be that the brave and unyielding spirit of the beast clan was just a joke so far?
He finally understood why Collingworth dared to act against the Hammer Tribe, while Glay City took it as something that was completely inappropriate.
In the eyes of some big people, nothing is more comfortable than the reluctance to steal peace!
"Archbishop Faense and I have never supported compromise!" Christina stared at Leon, her slender hand pressed on Leon's big hand, and said softly: "Lord Faense took the initiative to go to the Holy Land, it is in an effort to change this voice, we must not give up the spirit of valor at any time!"
"I'll accompany you to Count Astin's now, I'll come forward in person in the name of the Templar, he has no reason to refuse, and you can get a real territory right away!"
Feeling the warm power transmitted by the other party's slender hand, Leon couldn't help but feel a little more moved in his heart.
With the presence of people like her and Archbishop Faennes, he really felt that he was not fighting alone, and that Beamon would not completely lose hope!
Priestess Kristina is beautiful and gentle, but as a Templar priest, she is not lacking in resoluteness.
After talking to Leon in detail, she immediately took Leon to the City Lord's Mansion to visit Count Astien.
They were accompanied by a small group of Templars from the city of Tormond, who had brought Leon a valuable knighthood at the behest of Archbishop Faennes.
In a way, they also represent the majesty of the Temple of Tormund.
With the presence of the Priest of Christina herself, and the Templars of the Temple of Tormund, the Count of Astin finally appeared.
He received Priest Christina and Leon in a special hall.
The Earl, who controls the Glay region, has a fat body that is not commensurate with the fox, with a round fox face that makes people laugh, a pair of small eyes crowded in the fat that are always turning, and the big tail behind him is flicking at any time.
As the host, Count Astin showed an almost exaggerated enthusiasm, praising Kritina's beauty and kindness, praising the Templars' contribution to Glay, and deliberately turning a blind eye to Leon, who stood by.
However, Kristina was not fooled by his hard work, and directly took out the title certificate and another letter from Archbishop Faennes, and asked the other party.
Seeing the title certificate and the letter, Count Astine's expression was quite wonderful, red and white, white and blue.
But he quickly made a decision.
