"Your kindness is truly impressive"

Just as Rand was thinking about how to use the cooperative mode to tap the production of magical plants in his neighbors, a deep voice sounded beside him, and the person who spoke was Paladin Bert Kaul.

"You're overrated, Mr. Knight" In the past two days, Huck told Rand about various things in the Northwest Territory in the past two months, especially the two high-ranking priests who saved Baron Wild Bear Ridge and the dragon girl who singled out five barbarians. "I'm nothing compared to your rescue of Baron Geo"

"Ah, you are so humble, many times it is easier to save people than to give away benefits" The paladin shook Rand's hand, "What's more, what I am truly grateful for is that you have saved so many believers of the righteous gods, and I believe that any great person will be relieved to know that these believers have been liberated from the plight of slavery"

"This is what I should do as a lord, a follower of His Majesty," Rand said firmly, as if he had been a follower of the Emperor since his mother's womb.

"Of course," said the paladin, conjuring up a very simple potion bottle.

"Is it space equipment again? You're all so rich," Rand thought to himself.

Albert told him that space equipment was only available in Dragon's Tooth City or larger cities, and that one piece would cost 1,000 gold coins, and just now Rand gave Antrechi 1,000 gold coins, asking him to buy one on his behalf, and deliver it when Rand went to Blue Dragon City later.

"This is a bottle of intermediate knight elixir, after drinking it, it will produce a special magic effect, making people feel magic or fighting for a long time, and the junior knight will have a high probability of breaking through to an intermediate knight after drinking it"

"This... I'm a little embarrassed, am I? "Rand was really impressed.

"This is the reward that the Holy See has given me after I reported it to the Holy See," said Bert, "Your Majesty is also an important god of the Holy See, and it is thanks to the Holy See that he has saved his followers."

So what is the relationship between the Holy See and the royal power? The emperor is a god, and the Holy See also believes in the emperor, so this is the state religion of the empire?

Rand took the bottle while thinking about the relationship between the empire and the temple alliance, from any point of view, the two can be said to have a huge correlation, a large number of noble heirs of the empire hold teaching positions in the temple alliance at all levels of religious institutions, and many of the righteous gods worshiped by religion are also righteous gods and demigods who are still "in office" in various institutions of the empire.

"And I want to thank you for taking care of Wright." The paladin didn't notice Rand's thoughts.

"Then there is no need, Wright Ascetic is a true concern for the common people, and every human and barbarian in the entire salt mine is grateful for his kindness and equality."

"Then I would like to thank you even more for being able to continue to take care of him."

For a moment, Rand's smile froze, but only for less than a second, "Look at what you said, everyone in our territory treats Wright as family, and of course family members should take care of each other." ”

"Great," the paladin said with a smile.

Rand's heart set off a huge wave, are you really not going to take your child away? What should I do if I eat so badly on the plains and am hungry and thin?

"By the way, I saw a distant relative of mine in Mane Wolf City, his name is Ben, and he is a magician"

"Magician?"

"Yes, an intermediate magician, especially good at drawing magic circles and magic patterns, told me two days ago that he wanted to go around the Galloping Horse Plain, and it is estimated that he will come to your territory in two months, can you help me take care of it?"

"Of course" Rand was very welcome this time, after all, there is nothing to lose by having one more.

。。。。

Before the traditional alfresco dinner, Rand met with the last guest of the day, a demonless subordinate of Viscount Elk, who would leave tomorrow, in charge of the Viscount's carriage and horses.

However, when he finds Rand alone, he shows his true height.

"Lord Viscount Rand, on behalf of the Imperial Division, I would like to say hello to you," the representative of the Imperial Division, explained his identity directly.

"I've heard about you on the grassland, but unfortunately I've never met anyone from the real temple front division."

"I don't know what you've heard, but the outside world does have a lot of misunderstandings about the temple."

"If you are like the Salt and Iron Division, you only care about mining, where do you have so many misunderstandings?" Rand didn't say that.

"But I don't think there is a conflict of interest between the Imperial Commander and you, the Viscount." The representative continued.

"Of course," Rand replied, and said the second half in his mind, except that your plot almost killed me.

"Since you think so too, Viscount, I can't help but say that the Maned Wolf Count has been occupying the southern entrance to the Prancing Plain, and the western Earl of the Kingdom of Kirislav, Larzan Katror, has occupied the eastern entrance of the Prancing Plain, and these big families have regarded the barbarians of the plains as their own domestic slaves.

Now that you have unified the southern part of the galloping horse, the two great nobles will not sit idly by and watch you become bigger, but the Imperial Priest is willing to support your development and help you achieve greater success. ”

"This sounds like a loan shark's rhetoric, with low interest rates and high amounts, as long as you dare to sign, the ruin of your family will be light," Rand thought to himself, without saying a word.

“。。。 As long as... As long as you can offer some positions to some knights and magicians of the common class," the envoy of the palace saw that Rand did not answer, so he went on.

"Thank you for your proposal, I will consider it, I have been offering positions to the lowest knights, after all, my subordinates used to be slaves and miners at the lowest level," Rand said perfunctorily, ready to send the messenger away.

"I hope you are really considering, the consequences of rejecting the kindness of the temple boss are usually not good," the messenger said with a vague threat

"Those who accepted the kindness of the temple chief were all raised, such as the head goose" Rand still did not speak, but only sent the messenger away with a gesture.

Rand, who has watched a lot of spy movies in his previous life, specially found Gandalf and Wendy to check whether there was an abnormal magic array in his house after the messenger left, Gandalf also smiled and said that Rand was too sensitive, but then Wendy did find a suspicious seed on the ground, and the seed did not look out of the ordinary, but Wendy felt that there were fluctuations in the magic power inside the seed.

Before evening, Viscount Elk found that one of his demonless coachmen was missing.

However, the haze did not last longer, after all, Rand's 30-meter-long mast stood outside the castle, and the envoy of the temple first pretended to be a demon-free, and then jumped into the nearby river to escape, all of which were completely monitored, and the hidden magic of this junior mage could not escape the surveillance of the mage's eye drawn by the magister.

Rand didn't know the real plan of the temple leader, but he didn't believe that the temple secretary had come to help the poor.

。。。。。

Snowflakes kept falling, and white smoke from campfires rose from the vast tent camp.

Rand sat in the castle's lord's room, looking out the window at the camp outside the castle.

Behind Rand are Huck, Ryan, Obote, Rohr, Albert, Pete, Dogtooth, Neil, Mace, Lenia, Makoto, Wendy, Mewinnan, and other mid-level knights, the Demonless Butler, as well as Wright and Gandalf.

"Everyone, I'm going to Blue Dragon City in the next two days, and it is estimated that I will have to go to the royal capital, and when I come back, I will have to pass through Mane Wolf City, a month if it's fast, and two months if it's slow," Rand looked at the room full of his relatives, followers, guests, and henchmen.

"During my absence, the big things in the camp are up to my father, Baron Huck, the specific arrangements are in charge of Lanya, Master Gandalf will leave the camp with me, Mane Wolf City is not too far, and I won't be away for a long time, I hope that when I come back, all people and things will be implemented according to plan."
