137 Count Violet
Allegri naturally scoffed at Herseus's suggestion, and no matter how he said it, he couldn't marry and unite himself.
However, there is still some reference to this suggestion.
At dinner, he looked from one side of the table to the other, Brooke, Becky, Afra, Syyl, Bazaar, Hoel, until ...... Illo?
I hadn't noticed it before, but now it seemed that he was the most handsome of the people in the room, and Allegri's eyes lit up, and he staggered over and sat down beside Illo, with a hand already affectionately placed on his shoulder.
"Hi, Illo. ”
Illo glanced at him warily and snorted, "What?"
"There's a great thing, and I want to discuss it with you. Allegri smiled, looking kind and kind.
Illo shrank back, and without a trace, took Allegri's hand away, and said alarmedly, "Say. ”
"That's right," Allegri whispered, for fear of being heard, "now there's a chance for you to be able to embrace a beauty, and become the lord of a country, with unlimited scenery, how about it, are you interested?"
"There is interest," Illo hesitated, "but why do I think you are nothing good?"
"How so?" Allegri looked innocent, "I'm genuinely good for you." ”
"Then why don't you go by yourself?" Illo thought for a moment, his face changed drastically, "You're not going to say Onesha, are you?"
"Okay, if you marry her, we'll be able to come over this place as a matter of course, what do you think?" Allegri said courteously, "Onesha is really good-looking, isn't she?"
Illo shook his head again and again, with a resolute expression. "No, she wasn't interested in me at all, and she cheated on us the first time, and I'm scared of her. ”
Allegri shook his head helplessly, finally giving up on the hopeless fellow, and his eyes began to wander again.
Glancing at Bazaar's honest expression and Brooke's white hair. He finally sighed and got up and walked towards Dios.
"Why don't you eat and wander around?" Dios glanced at him.
"That's so, Dios, now there is a chance for you to be able to hold a beauty, and you can also become the lord of a country, the scenery is infinite, how about it, are you interested?"
"Get out!"
Allegri stood up in a daze. A sigh on his face.
"What's wrong, Teacher?" Afra winked at him.
"The talent under the account is withering, and no one is up to the task!" Allegri sighed with a look on his face.
"Choose me, choose me!" The dwarf next to him, Hoel, raised his hand high and said enthusiastically, "What task, teacher, let me go." ”
"No! this task...... Not suitable for children. Allegri flatly refused.
"But I'm fifty-six years old, teacher......"
Allegri, who is still struggling with which "beautiful man" to sell his account in exchange for this land. All doubts were dispelled by Onesa's messenger.
Grand Duke Onesha of the Principality of Anlan officially canonized the high-ranking mage Allegri as the "Count of Violet". and gave him the whole valley as his territory.
"I'll go, is there a mole among us?" Allegri glanced at Illo and Dios with suspicion, "I want to sleep, so she handed me a pillow?"
"I strongly suspect that it was Dios who betrayed us out of sight of the money. Illo said sternly.
"," Dios slapped him in the back. Zhengse said, "I can only say that Onessa is too smart, and this move completely dispelled our concerns, but she didn't lose anything herself." ”
Allegri nodded. Agree with his judgment.
"But what is the matter with this title of 'Count Violet'?" Allegri frowned.
"What's so confusing about this, 'Violet' was my title back then," Herseus said again, "She seems to have followed my advice sincerely." ”
"Your suggestion?" Allegri squinted at the triumphant Herseus and wondered, "Is it possible that you are also Onisha's military advisor?"
"Just a few little tips for her. "Herseus doesn't care.
"You're so everywhere, dear teacher. Allegri said with sincere admiration.
The foundation of the magic tower has been completely completed, and the magic array inlaid with enchanted molten metal is linked together, and in addition to the entrance, the second layer of foundation has been continued to be built on this basis.
Allegri did not draw too many magic arrays on this floor, but only built a node for energy buffering and storage distribution to maintain the operation of the lowest level of magic arrays, so the construction of this layer was much faster than the progress of the first layer.
Starting from the third layer of foundation, the magic tower has begun to emerge from the ground, and the first major magic array is about to start drawing, requiring several times more materials than before, and the convoy from the Green River Valley to transport magic materials has approached here, and Onisha is actually in the team.
She wore a simple moon-white robe, but the intricately embroidered silver patterns at the corners showed great workmanship.
"Are you satisfied, my Excellency the Count?" she smiled at the sight of Allegri.
Allegri pretended to be a knight, and the two of them laughed together.
"Let's go this way, Allegri. Onisha motioned to speak and walked towards the grassy slope beside her.
Allegri followed after a few steps, and heard Onisha say,
"The materials sent this time should be enough to support for a while, and I hope that the magic tower can be completed as soon as possible," Onisha said, "As long as I have control over the 'Path of the Lightseeker', I can open the trade route immediately." ”
"You're not short of money, are you?" asked Allegri.
"That's right," Onissa sighed, "the newly occupied territory is in ruins, and it will require a lot of investment, and I'm now embarrassed enough to borrow some from the Snowton Empire. ”
"The Snowton Empire shouldn't have a hard time, right?" Allegri said tentatively.
"The 'Holy Blood River Theater' has been greatly affected by that battle, but the 'Iron Wall Pass Theater' is still intact and can support it for a while," Onisha said, "King Nacini decided to postpone the next battle and first implement the reform of the domestic political and economic system to adapt to the new changes. Therefore, he is also very much looking forward to the opening of new trade routes, and he sent a letter saying that he will generously send a large number of magic materials to support the construction of the magic tower, which should be available in a few days. ”
"If all goes well, Autumn and September won't be fully completed, but it's enough to keep you in control of the 'Path of the Lightwalker,'" Allegri thought, "and you can start preparing for the Merchant Road in advance." ”
"By the way, the income obtained by Shangdao," Onessa glanced at him, "The result of our discussion is that the Snowton Empire accounts for fifty percent, An Lan accounts for forty percent, and the remaining ten percent will be distributed to you, are you satisfied?"
"Xie Lu, thank His Royal Highness the Grand Duke for his generosity. That's a little higher than Allegri had expected, Allegri replied with a smile.
After a moment of silence, Allegri, who felt a little embarrassed in the atmosphere, asked about the military situation of the principality, "By the way, is there any pressure on the battlefield in front of the principality?"
"On the contrary," Onissa shook her head, "the Church of Light's forces retreated in large numbers, completely ceding the territories they had occupied in recent decades, leaving a vast buffer zone between the two sides. ”
"Oh?" Allegri frowned slightly, "Did the Demon Legion make a big move, or did Nacini do something?"
"Neither," Onisha shook her head, "something has happened to the Holy See headquarters, the Inquisition and the 'White Tower' have split. ”
"What?" Allegri was slightly startled, "a split within the Holy See?"
"Not as serious as you think," Onissa smiled, "It is said that the new Grand Inquisitor has ascended to the throne, and at the same time the 'Holy White Tower' has changed, and the Archbishop has announced that he has handed over control to his student 'Dinedil' the Servant of the Light for health reasons. The new Grand Inquisitor did not seem to obey Inedil's orders, and the Inquisition began to take over and train its own army, which was seen as a provocation to the 'White Tower'. But I don't know the specifics, anyway, the Church of Light has shrunk completely because of this matter, and it's not a bad thing for us. ”
"What about the 'Knights Templar', and what about the other forces at the Holy See headquarters?" Allegri asked.
"The Knights Templar have lost their voice within the Holy See by still being stationed in Vanuna," Onisha pondered, "The group of saints and ascetics stationed at the Holy See headquarters in the Cathedral of Gothia is said to be trying to reconcile the tensions between the two sides, but progress is very slow, as if the Grand Inquisitor has rejected all the conditions offered by Innedil. ”
Allegri nodded, frowning at the expense of what he was thinking.
"Also, Allegri, remember to go to the Green River Valley on the eighth of next month to see your knighthood ceremony," Onisha chuckled, turning to continue walking, "It's overdue." ”
"Next month, the eighth, so soon?" Allegri scratched his head.
"Didn't you even look at the canonization book I wrote myself?" Onisha glanced at him.
Allegri shrugged and did not deny it.
"There's another point up there, I wonder if you've noticed?" Onisha turned her head and looked at him deeply, "I don't limit the number of private soldiers you have. ”
"What do you mean?" Allegri didn't quite understand.
"You can recruit as many troops as you want," Onetsha took a step towards him, stared up at him, and said slowly, "I can trust you, right?"
Allegri was inexplicably moved, he nodded, and really found a little bit of the feeling of a knight being canonized as a lord. (To be continued......)
