Brian turned over the boy's body with a twig and confirmed that he must be Occam, but there was a trace of sadness in his heart, the legendary powerful apostle of the Chenxing Church, a god-level existence, was solved by a mercenary team? What mission did the mysterious St. Osidin send him over, and what kind of power suppressed the divine power four hundred years ago? Everything is impossible to think about or imagine, the concept of God is ethereal, and the way God exists in the plane is also incomprehensible. For a moment, Brian felt so small.

"Is this the purpose of your trip?" Helois was of course going to ask on the way back.

"I promised your grandfather that this matter must be kept secret. ”

"I'm really interested in spending thirty gold saurons and life risking to see a corpse. ”

"You can go back and ask Master Dunbar. Brian shrugged.

Brian and Gallaher spent a long time discussing the mercenary team's long-term service to Toby Town, hoping that he could organize a larger team to participate in the defense of the town, obviously the situation of the barbarians was not very reassuring, and if the barbarians came to attack in the next step, the town's armament was far from enough to defend.

But Gallaher is still more keen on taking risks, and the kind of bounty with great uncertainty always makes his blood boil, and he is not interested in staying in one place to receive his salary. Brian understands the squad leader, knows many stories about mercenaries, and once aspired to be an adventurer. When they were young, each boy would carry his own iron pot and raise a wooden stick to pretend to be a few dragon slaying warriors, but as their knowledge grew, they felt that it was easier to slaughter chickens and cows.

Mercenaries are a widespread fighting group in the Lukai Continent, ranging from large legions to small squads, and like-minded interests and money bring them together to form a universal pattern of serving their employers. Mercenaries can be broadly divided into three categories: the first is the Grand Legion, which has a large fixed territory and is employed by the state or the church as an auxiliary force in the war. The second type is the most common, usually called a mercenary group, this group can be a hundred or a few thousand, the territory is not fixed, and the work is even more varied, the most important is to cooperate with the big chamber of commerce, responsible for escorting the escort work, or become the personal arm of the big nobles. The third group is a squad like Gallaher, who barely has a flag or a name, and adventure is their fun.

In big cities, there are generally bounty halls, announcing various bounty tasks, issuing bounties according to the difficulty of the tasks, and the mercenary team will go to the hall to accept the task, and then come to receive the bounty after completion, which is a career that Gallaher has always loved.

"Isn't it just an adventure, I can satisfy you, anyway, there are countless people who come to Toby Town to explore the Misty Forest, why don't I go back and open a bounty hall in the town office, where you can receive the task, you don't need to run to Sacred Heart City, delay too much time." "Brian came up with a new idea.

"You're going to open a bounty hall, with the strength of a small town, you can release a few missions a day, aren't we drinking the northwest wind when the time comes?" Gallaher shook his head, he knew that although Brian had some money, compared to the big city employers, this guy was still a poor bastard.

"The Fergus family will also offer a bounty to me in the future, it's okay, and you will be responsible for the daily security of the town, and I will also give you a living expenses, as well as a place to live, can't these conditions keep you?" Brian came and winked at Helois.

"No problem, I'll go back and tell my grandfather what I need in the future to evacuate the farm, and try to offer a reward in the town. Helois agreed.

"It's really lucky to have a big family backing me. Gallaher was envious and agreed, "Say, how many more people do you need me to come over, and you won't be able to afford it when the time comes." ”

"With the addition of what you have, there are fifty in all, and if you don't object, I'll give you flags and uniforms. Brian said.

"It feels like you're going to rebel, my lord?"

"Can fifty people rebel, it's almost the same if all of them are Sword Saints. Brian snorted, "That's it, you go to contact the mercenaries, I'll be in charge of the barracks construction and equipment, and when the town's defense is done, I'll come to the jungle with you again, cross the river and find the dwarves to borrow two rune masters." ”

"Really, that's decided, I like it. Gallaher was excited.

Everything went a little more smoothly than expected, Shadow caught the murderer of the cardinal archbishop, and after interrogation, the killer called Webb confessed to all the crimes, not only that, but he also confessed to the more secret behind-the-scenes instructions, it turned out to be another cardinal Halifax, who contacted the Blackwing Demon Guild, bought a huge amount of money, and took his life while Alcott was patrolling. Now that the Pope is dying, seeing that the oil is running out day by day, the purpose of cutting off competitors at this time is self-evident.

Within a few days, things changed dramatically, and two days after Brian passed Webb's confession on the Blue Harrier, the pope died suddenly, and the whole church had no time to pay attention to the accident in Tobytown, and the officials of the Inquisition went halfway and returned to welcome the new Pope, Cardinal Hainault, to the throne. How logical this is, Alcott is dead, Halifax is guilty, and only Heino is left, easily wearing a crown studded with gems, and for the first time in the more than 400-year history of the Church of Wisdom Holy Light, there has been a bloodless succession.

Brian is indispensable, he solved a shocking case, not only decided the ownership of the crown, but also dug up a huge tumor - the evil Blackwing Demon Slayer Guild, digging out the mastermind behind the scenes, and the halo followed. First of all, the Pope declared Brian and the others innocent, and it was no longer the inquisition officials who went to the town, but Heino's envoys. The envoy carried the Order of the White Feather (the highest order of the Church), a papal encyclical, and a large number of rewards, and made Brian the bishop of Toby, and gave Brian the twelve temple guards that Orcott had sent to search the Misty Forest.

Grand Duke Alex, of course, would not be slow to react, and wasted no time in currying favor with this promising young celebrity, and immediately assigned provincial officials, granted Brian the title of viscount, and merged the two towns of Toby and Maple Leaf Town, and assigned Brian as a fief, and rewarded people with a lot of money.

Brian finally sent away all kinds of big people in a psychedelic state, still in a stupid state, and did not come out in the dream, he stayed in his viscount's mansion (the former town office building), put on the bishop's brocade robe in front of the mirror for a while, to see if he was the youngest regional bishop ever, and then changed into a viscount uniform to confirm whether he was a local tyrant with a large fiefdom. At night, I opened the box, counted all kinds of valuable things, and said "This is mine" three times in a row, so that I could sleep peacefully, and when I slept with a wicked smile on my face, I forgot about the dangers and troubles, and felt that everything was so wonderful.
