"Well, in the name of Viscount Grant, I accept your allegiance. Thunder solemnly responded, and this hasty and simple allegiance ceremony ended.

He breathed a long sigh of relief, quietly gave Lisa a look, and said with a smile: "Simon, the knight training matter is not in a hurry, you are still too young, let Lisa arrange for you to learn knightly etiquette first!"

"Yes, sir. Simon hesitated, but complied.

"My lord, let's take our leave. Lisa lifted the hem of her skirt and made a ladylike salute, watched Simon bow, her eyelids jumped a few times, and pulled him out of the bedroom. "Congratulations, little Simon, for your unyielding courage at a critical moment that has earned your lord's admiration. From today onwards, you are an adult knight squire. ”

"Aunt Lisa, do you have to learn knightly etiquette?" Simon asked unwillingly, turning into a bitter melon face.

"Sister, didn't I tell you? Lisa said word by word with a straight face, and then explained kindly: "Little Simon, if you want to be a knight, you must first learn knightly etiquette and creed. Don't be unconvinced, when you left the adult's room just now, you should have done a knightly salute, and what happened?"

"Well, you've won, Sister Lisa... Aunt. Little Simon finished shouting, broke free of Lisa's hand, grimaced, and ran quickly into the distance.

"Ghost elf, this is the little one's real name!" The thunderous voice sounded behind her, and feeling the heat coming from her ears, Lisa shivered, and her body went a little weak. She took two steps forward, turned around with a somewhat flustered expression, lowered her head and asked, "My lord, why did you come out?"

A smile flashed across Lei Ming's face, he didn't expect Lisa to be so sensitive. He shrugged his shoulders and said helplessly, "Just as I wanted to rest, the guard at the door came with news that our dear Bishop Custer had visited. ”

"Do you need me to accompany you, sir?" said Lisa with concern.

"No, you go find little Simon! The Viscount's Mansion is not big, but it is not small, and it is not easy to get lost. Lei Ming waved his hand, strode down the corridor, and strode towards the study.

"Viscount Thunder, are you finally free to see me?" Castel saw Thunder walking in, stood up slowly, saluted, and said with a smile.

"Oh, Custer, my old friend, to see you again at last. Lei Ming stepped forward quickly, gave him a strong hug, and said apologetically: "You also know that I have been busy this time, and I just came back today." Knowing that you were coming, I ran over without resting. ”

Custer looked at Lei Ming quietly, and when he saw the dark circles under his eyes, his suspicion was a little gone, and the smile on his face brought a hint of sincerity. "My lord, I still know something about what happened to you during this time. Some mercenaries who don't know what to do dare to confront the nobles really deserve to be killed. I am also very sorry for the death of Rose, and I ask you to mourn it. ”

"It's great that the goddess of agriculture is above, Archbishop Custer, you understand. Lei Ming pretended to be grateful.

There was no surprise that Custer knew something about himself. With such a big force as the Earth Goddess Temple, it is easy to investigate a person, but if this is not known at all, the Goddess of Agriculture should consider changing the Pope.

He sat down in his chair and took the initiative to speak, "Archbishop Custer, are you here to build a temple in your territory?"

Custer frowned slightly, a hint of doubt rising in his heart. Before coming, I thought of more than ten ways to deal with Lei Ming, including the enthusiasm that he deliberately pretended to be when he just entered the door, but he didn't expect that he would take the initiative to mention it. "Yes, this matter has been brought to the attention of the higher-ups, and it has been urged twice. My lord, if you really can't spare people, the temple will be built by the church, and you only need to pay the gold coins. ”

"Bishop Custer, as you know, the Viscount's Mansion has been spending a lot recently, and I can only provide 5 million gold coins. Lei Ming thought for a moment and said seriously.

This time he didn't lie, after this period of time to sell food, build a magic tower, build a city and other expenses, the Viscount's Mansion still has a total of about 8 million gold coins left. This is thanks to the old viscount's ability to collect money enough, so that these gold coins can be left. It is quite sincere to take out so many surnames at one time.

"Too little, at least 10 million gold coins. Custer said displeased.

"6 million gold coins, this is the bottom line, no matter how much there is, there is really no more. Lei Ming touched his nose, and a trace of helplessness flashed in his eyes. No one believes the truth these days, isn't this forcing me to continue to fool?

"10 million gold coins, not a single gold coin is missing. Custer clenched his fists, his tone tinged with exasperation.

He always felt that he was brushed by Thunder, and at the last banquet he helped Thunder block Winston's arrest, although he didn't do it, at least he couldn't deny it if he contained the enemy!

"Since it's too little, don't ask for any of it. Fafer, send-off. Lei Ming laughed angrily, having such an enemy as the Temple of Light was enough of a headache, and he didn't want to provoke the Earth Goddess Temple anymore, so he blindly endured it. However, this does not mean that there is no bottom line, and it does not mean that others can ride on his head casually.

"Archbishop Custer, will you go by yourself, or will I help you?" said Fafer, pushing the door in, expressionless.

"I'll go on my own. Castel stood up and strode out, and when he reached the door of the study, his body paused, turned his head and glanced at Lei Ming resentfully, and without stopping, he quickly left the Viscount's Mansion.

"It's really hard to be satisfied. Lei Ming wiped his face, closed his eyes, and leaned back in his chair.

The entire territory and even the villages built small temples did not cost 5 million gold coins, and 6 million gold coins was already a lot more. However, Custer is still not satisfied, or to be precise, he and the people behind him are still not satisfied.

"My lord, will you just let him go?" Fafeld watched as Custer left the Viscount's Mansion before returning to his study. The other party looked at him before leaving, and he also noticed it and asked worriedly.

"Don't worry, I have my own way of dealing with this guy. Did you get in touch with the person I asked you to contact?" said Lei Ming, who opened his eyes and tapped his right index finger lightly on the table.

"I've been contacted, and he'll be over to see you in a few days. Seeing that Lei Ming was so confident, Fafer put away the worry on his face. Adults have always done things in a measured way, and they have never missed, except for that time. He shook his head vigorously, trying to shake some thoughts out of his mind that he shouldn't remember.

"In that case, then go back and pack up, and go to Port Vale now! If you run one, you will move me for a day to build the city. Lei Ming's eyes were blazing, as if he had seen through his thoughts, and he said a little embarrassed.
