Leo's words made both Carol and Sean shine.

Traveling priest who likes to collect customs?

Carol quietly began to think in her heart.

If this Father Ryan can stay, the safety of Tarn Village will not only be guaranteed, but also the status of the village will be enhanced.

If Father Lane can be persuaded to build a church here, even the Baron will benefit immensely!

Although the village of Tarn is not too far from the Seine, it takes three hours to walk and about an hour to ride a horse.

It is very inconvenient for the villagers to go to the city to worship.

However, if there is a church in Tarn Village, it will not only increase the safety level of Tarn Village, but also attract the surrounding villages to come to worship services.

In this way, the increase in the flow of people can also increase the additional income of the village of Tarn.

Perhaps, the Baron's tax amount will also increase.

On top of that, if there is a church in Tarn Village, then the villagers of Tarn Village will not have to pay family taxes to the kingdom.

Only tithes are required to pay the church, which is much lighter than the family tax. (Note 1)

Moreover, Father Ryan is only staying temporarily, and when he leaves in the future, this tax will not fall into the hands of the Baron.

When the time comes, when the village of Tarn develops, maybe the clergy of Seine City will apply to settle in.

After all, the city of Seine is so big, there are not many positions, and the churches in the city of Seine are still pressed by bishops, and they are doing things under the hands of others, so how can they be their own masters.

In order to be able to send out, there will definitely be people who ask the lord for it.

Then, the favor will not come.

But in an instant, Carol thought so much.

Although Village Chief Sean didn't think as much as Carroll, he also thought about the benefits of Father Lane and the two staying.

At least, safety is assured.

Look at Father Ryan who has treated so many seriously injured and dying villagers with his hand, with him, the villagers can go up the mountain to hunt in the future and go farther.

As long as people don't die, they are not afraid of being hurt.

If Father Lane had been able to build a church, the village would not have to go to Seine to buy holy water.

Holy water is good for a priest!

The joyful expressions of the two made Leo take in the eyes.

That's exactly what he wanted.

Leo knew that if he offered to stay in Tarn Village at this time, he was afraid that the two of them would welcome him with a hand and a foot.

However, Leo wanted the two to take the initiative to ask them to stay.

Leo said with a tiger face: "Originally, yesterday Viscount Donald of Seine City invited us to the city as guests. But Father Lane himself was tired of the distractions of the city, so he refused. ”

"We were tired from the journey, so we stayed in the village. Unexpectedly, instead of resting well, I was even more tired today. ”

"You see, Father Lane is so tired that he falls asleep. We were going to leave after breakfast, but now that's what's the matter! ”

"Originally, we also wanted to visit the surrounding lords and villages in turn, and find a suitable place to stay for a while. Now it seems that it is still not necessary. In less than a day, there are many troubles. ”

"Although Father Lane doesn't mind, I can't help but think about Father Lam's body."

Leo's words suddenly made the two people who had a plan in their hearts panic.

Carol, as the dog leg of the aristocracy, is first and foremost flexible.

He had an idea, and immediately opened his mouth to persuade him.

"Mr. Gareth, please don't make your decision so early. I think that our village of Tarn is still very distinctive, and the customs are worth studying by Father Lane. As for today's events, it was a complete accident.

I've brought in a priest, and the rest of the wounded can be left to him to deal with, and we can let Father Ryan go back to his room and get some rest. Later, let old Sean hold a banquet to entertain you, so that you can have a good taste of the enthusiasm of our people in Tarn Village.

It just so happens that I can go back and invite the Baron to join me. I think he would have liked to have a candlelight conversation with a wise priest. ”

Moving out of the baron, just to let Leo know his sincerity.

The village chief Sean on the side also hurriedly followed and persuaded: "Yes, Lord Knight." What happened in the morning was a complete accident. I'm sure they'll make serious reparations to the priest. Please give us a chance to atone for our sins. ”

Sean was old and not old and confused, so he immediately used reparation as an excuse to propose to keep it.

As for the rest, looking at the tax officer's appearance, he was already planning to leave the priest in the village, and there was no need for Village Chief Sean to intervene sideways, so as not to spoil the tax officer's plan.

"If the adults are angry at Robena's rude offense, I will go and drive her out of the village with her wounded son. We don't leave such ungrateful people in the village, do you think that's okay? ”

Faced with old Sean's retreat, Leo glanced at him coldly.

This old thing is really morally kidnapped.

He said that Father Lane was the most helpful, and he said that he would drive the villagers out of the village on charges of offending the priest.

Isn't that putting people on the fire!

If he really wanted to drive people out of the village, he didn't have to ask this sentence seriously, but directly sent someone to send them away, and then just mentioned it to himself.

Obviously, the old thing didn't want to drive people away, nor did he want Nock and the two to leave.

That's why I say this kind of thing, and leave the choice to Leo.

No matter what the outcome is, he, who is the village chief, will not be a villain.

On the contrary, people are not driven away, and they need to remember his merits.

The man was driven away, leaving the priest behind, and he still has merit.

Sure enough, a person who can become the head of the village will be a fool.

It's just that Leo has seen more of this inferior method.

"Chief Shaun, the matter of your village is still up to you, the village chief, to make your own decisions, or you can ask the tax collector Carol for advice, after all, he represents your lord. As for us, as outsiders who are temporarily staying, we will not participate in the private affairs of your village. ”

"Now that Tax Officer Carol has brought the other healers, I'm going back to my room to clean up and leave here with Father Ryan before it gets dark, so as not to disturb you."

"After all, there are so many wounded, you still have to arrange manpower to take care of them. We won't bother you. ”

With that, Leo got up and looked like he was going back to his room to pack his luggage.

"Don't, Mr. Gareth, wait."

Carol and Sean grabbed Leo's hand from left to right and pressed him back into his seat.

"Look, Mr. Gareth, Father Lane is so tired, how can you bear to wake him up and go on his journey?"

"That's it!" Sean helped, "Besides, it's already afternoon, and by the time you set off, it's almost dark, and it's dark early in winter, so I guess you haven't gone far, it's completely dark, and you'll get lost." ”

"Yes, old Sean was right. You can stay in peace. The cost of our lord is to be his gratitude to you for rescuing his people. If you insist on leaving, you can wait until dawn tomorrow to leave! ”

"We've made it a deal, and I'll go back and tell the Baron to come to the banquet for the evening. Old Sean, you come with me, and I'll study with you how to do the banquet in the evening. ”

Carol didn't give Leo a chance to refuse, and dragged the village chief Sean away.

However, when she left the tavern, Carol lost the smile she had in the tavern.

"Old Sean, no matter what method you use, I will keep the priest for me. Tell the villagers that they don't want me to raise taxes in the future, so they will serve the two of them for me. If there are any more people who offend or even insult the priest, I will feed their corpses to the wolves on Kaku Mountain! ”

"Yes, yes, please rest assured. It's a banquet thing, I'm afraid we can't do anything about it. The main workers of the village were the victims of the accident. Although the priest healed their wounds, they were certainly weak and needed to recuperate for a few days.

Their families will definitely have to take care of them, and we can't afford to hold a banquet. Even Magina, who runs the tavern, is frightened, and there is no chef left in the village. Plus people are panicking, holding a banquet or something......"

Carol interrupted impatiently:

"I'll do it! I'll hurry back now and inform the Baron, and we'll bring all the cooks from the Baron's Mansion with us. All you need is the food and drinks you need for the feast. If you can't do this, don't be the village chief! ”

"Tell the villagers that I don't care if they're injured or if someone in the family is injured. As long as I'm not dead, I'm going to have a banquet tonight. Even if you act, you have to give me enthusiasm for performing! Otherwise, you don't want to have a good life in the future. ”

"But if you make Father Ryan happy, let him stay. Let me tell you, your village has benefited more than you ever imagined. In less than half a year, your village will definitely become the richest village in the neighborhood. ”

"So, how to choose, you can do it yourself! Come to think of it, you don't want to bear the wrath of the Baron! ”

Sean had already seen a tangle when he heard that he could make Tarn the richest village in the neighborhood. Where can I still listen to Carol's threats.

He patted his chest and reassured, "Lord Tax Collector, you can rest assured, Old Sean promises to complete the mission, and he will definitely let the priest see the enthusiasm of Tarn Village." ”

"Hmph, that's for the best. I'll go back first. By the way, tell the pastor I brought, and ask him to heal the wounded for me, and I want them to have a lot of dinner tonight. It's okay to add money, but he must complete the task.

Otherwise, don't think that he is a clergyman, and we barons will not dare to touch him. In the city of Seine, there can be a shortage of anything, that is, there is no shortage of priests. There are ways to deal with a disobedient pastor. ”

"Yes, yes, yes. The villain understands. ”

Seeing the obedient Sean, Carol glanced at the tavern behind her again, took the horsewhip and turned to leave.

He had to hurry back and persuade the baron, and then return with the baron and the cook of the baron's house.

Only if the baron himself intervened could it be possible to convince Father Lane and the two to stay.

He could already see the picture of the Baron rewarding himself for his decision today!
