Chapter 140: Corinna's Identity

Leon still remembers that at the same gate, he and his men were harassed by the same guards, and they clashed over it, offending the garrison's Silver Star commander, Pastin.

And now, he can enter the city on horseback in a grand way, and even Subaru and Ironhide can enjoy superior treatment as retinues, and the treatment is very different.

The city of Tomond was as bustling and noisy as ever, and it was the first time for the two thunder beast warriors to come to a real big city, and they couldn't help but look straight at them, especially the big hippopotamus's long mouth couldn't close for a long time, and his stupid appearance made people feel sick.

"Ray, Lord Leon!"

An agile figure suddenly flashed from the crowd and rushed to the front of Leon's mount.

"Vic?" Leon hurriedly grabbed the reins, for fear that the wildebeest would step on the reckless little creature if he was frightened.

He could see clearly that it was the Rat Kid Vic who was blocking his way, the guide he had hired to first come to Tormond City.

I haven't seen him for half a year, Bick has grown a lot taller and stronger, the clothes on his body are at least clean, and his face is ruddy and no longer the appearance of yellow muscles and thin muscles.

"Lord Leon, it's really you, how are you? I didn't expect to see you again..."

Vic's face was full of surprise, and he spoke a little incoherently.

Leon turned over and dismounted, reached out and patted him on the shoulder and smiled: "I'm fine, you're also very good, like a young man, how is your family now?"

"Very well, my family is very good, it's all thanks to you, my lord..."Vic's eyes flashed with tears of gratitude.

If it weren't for the money that Leon gave him at the beginning, I'm afraid it would be difficult for his family to survive this year's winter.

"Okay, thank you without further ado, let's go, I still have something to ask you!" Leon said with a smile, "Let's find a hotel to stay in first." ”

With the presence of Vic, the head of the ground mouse, finding a hotel or something is a trivial matter.

After settling in, Leon took Subaru, Ironskin, and Vic to find a nearby tavern.

After sitting down, Leon asked straight to the point, "Vic, I want to buy something in the underground black market in Tormond, do you know or know a more reliable guide?"

The underground black market in Tomond City has existed for hundreds of years, and there are many businesses that cannot be seen in the light, but the underground black market has a very strict set of rules, and strangers, even nobles, cannot enter it casually to trade.

Unless there is a "guide", that is, the introduction or guidance of a black market broker.

At the beginning, Leon purchased a batch of military crossbows on the underground black market through Panad, but Panard also found buyers and sources of goods through guides.

Panad belonged to the Southwest Province Garrison, and after being promoted to Beast Soul Samurai, he was promoted to junior commander, considering that his relationship with the garrison was not so good, so he was reluctant to find Panard, so as not to cause unnecessary trouble to this friend.

"I've heard of two guides, but I don't know if they're reliable or not...", Vic thought for a moment and said, "Lord Leon, why don't you go to Miss Corinna, I think she must have a way!"

"Corinna..."

A beautiful fox face immediately appeared in Leon's mind, and he certainly hadn't forgotten the person behind the mysterious sense of surname of the forest fairy bar.

It's just that I don't know why, maybe it's because Corinna's identity is too mysterious, and Leon always feels that she is dangerous, and if she gets too close, she may be burned.

"How much do you know about Miss Corinna?" asked Leon.

Vic cautiously looked left and right, then lowered his voice and said, "Lord Leon, I heard that Miss Corinna is a daughter of Queen Sophia!"

"She originally had the title of princess and the domain, but after the death of Her Majesty the Queen, she was deprived of her territory and driven out of the royal capital of Ugru, so she came to the city of Tormund. ”

Queen Sophia!Of course, Leon knew this famous name, and he really didn't expect Corinna to have royal blood.

Sophia Rhine is one of the few queens in Bimon's history, she is a fierce and fierce-tempered woman who advocates uncompromising on fighting the elves to the end.

But the queen's reign was short-lived, and she died suddenly after only five years on the throne, and was succeeded by her younger brother St. Borg Rhein.

It has been less than twenty years since Queen Sophia's death, and there are many rumors about her, especially some palace secrets, which are even more bizarre.

Queen Sophia has no husband, but there are no fewer lovers and children, and it is not unusual to have a daughter of a fox descendant.

It's just that Leon can't see the characteristics of the lion from Corinna, so he can't help but be a little more curious when he listens to it: "Who did you listen to about this?"

Vic is just a small person at the bottom of Tormond, and it makes Leon feel a little strange that he can actually detect the secret rumors at the top.

"I know the coachman of the Earl of Canton, and he once told me secretly when he was drunk, and he only learned from the chatter of a few nobles in private. ”

There are no eternal secrets in this world, and Leon believes that Miss Corinna's identity may not be a big secret in the circles of the high society of Tomond, but it is really difficult for ordinary people to know these secrets.

What Leon didn't expect was that he actually learned the truth from Vic, which could be regarded as a coincidence.

Of course, whether this news is true and reliable is also to be confirmed.

"I know, don't tell anyone about this in the future, so as not to cause trouble. Leon admonished.

Bick nodded vigorously: "I understand, my lord, I won't say anything to anyone but you!"

"That's the best!" Leon smiled, took out a dozen gold coins from his pocket and put them in front of him: "You take these money." ”

"My lord, this is too much, you haven't used up the money you gave me last time..."Bick waved his hand repeatedly, his face flushed.

"I'll take it for you!" Leon stood up: "Go back and buy some food for your family, and you'd better find a craftsman in the city to learn some skills that can make money, and being a guide for others is not a long-term solution." ”

"Hopefully, I'll see you again next time, work hard!"

Saying goodbye to Vic, Leon left the tavern with Subaru and Ironskin, and rode in a carriage to the Temple of Tormond.

He asked Subaru and Ironhide to go to the Shenhui Grand Square to see the giant stone statue of the beast god and feel the power of Shenwei.

As for whether the two can get anything, it can only depend on their respective chances.

Although Leon has a noble status, it is definitely not possible to enter the Temple of Tomund directly, but fortunately, he also has acquaintances in the Temple of Tomund.

Through the communication of the gray-robed priest guard, the priest of Thord personally descended the mountain to meet Leon.

Seeing Leon, the bear-born priest looked very happy, and gave him a strong hug when they met: "Baron Leon, long time no see!"

"Actually, I should have come to visit you a long time ago, but the affairs of the territory are too busy, and I have only recently had time to come to Tormond City!" Leon laughed.

Priest Thord and Elder Munstein were close friends, good and upright, and after the departure of Archbishop Farnes, he was arguably LΓ©on's most reliable and trustworthy person in the Temple of Tormond.

The only regret is that Priest Thord is only a white-robed priest who has no say in the temple, and if he is a priest of the scepter, then the weight is completely different.

At the residence of Priest Thorde, Leon said what he meant: "Lord Thord, I need your help in visiting you in the temple this time. ”

"You sayβ€”" Todd nodded, "as long as I can do it, I will definitely find a way to help you do it, and Archbishop Faens told me to help you well before leaving." ”

Leon took out a small metal box from the package he was carrying, opened it and handed it to the other party: "Lord Todd, here are three ounces of Mithril and twenty ounces of Star Sand Gold, the trophies I captured in Goblin City. ”

"I would like to ask you to transfer it to the temple as an offering to the temple by Salling, as a token of my gratitude for the temple's support!"

"Mithril and Stellar Shajin!" Thord gasped and looked at the shiny piece of metal in the box, his eyes changed, "This is too valuable!"

The public price of an ounce of Mithril is 10,000 gold coins, but in fact, with the right buyer who needs it urgently, the price can go up a lot.

At the beginning, Leon didn't understand the situation, and sold some Mithril at a public price while waiting for the money to be used, which was really a big loss.

The value of the loot captured from the Goblin City far exceeded Leon's estimate, and the Goblin Lord's treasure was really much cheaper for him, except for some of the money used to build the Fata and the Sanctuary Teleportation Array, there were also some more.

This time in Tormond City, Leon brought all the surplus Mithril and Star Sand Gold with him, half of them for the temple and half for sale on the black market for what he needed.

In Leon's heart, he doesn't want to owe too much to the temple, there is no love in this world for no reason, he is afraid that he owes too much and will one day not be able to pay it back.

And by handing over this expensive offering, Leon also deliberately increased Thorde's weight in Tormond.

Maybe one day he will be able to compete for the position of Priest of the Scepter, and these small weights can play an unexpected role.

Of course, Priest Thord could understand Leon's intentions, he didn't say anything, took the metal box and looked at Leon deeply and asked, "What about the second thing?"

"The second thing is that I'm really going to trouble you!" Leon pointed to Subaru and Ironhide beside him, "For the two of them!"

Priest Thorde glanced at the two of them and said, "Well, there is no problem with the number of places to participate in the trial, and I will try my best to find a way to rank the soul casting ceremony!"

"Then please, sir!" Leon smiled.

He suddenly had a feeling that this trip to Tormund would have unexpected gains!
