"You're here?" Ulrique turned his back to Leo and looked at a map of Pande on the dimly lit wall, the mountains and rivers on it were all extremely detailed, and it was clear that the painter had a very good hand.

Hearing Ulrik's question, Leo was about to subconsciously reply, 'I'm here. ’

However, Ulrike turned around and said, "You did a good job this time, Umr is the deputy head of the Griffin Knights, and once he is captured by us, it will be a great blow to the entire Griffin Knights."

But you must also realize that although the Snake Worship Sect and the Griffin Knights have joined forces this time, the relationship is not so close, you just found the remnants of those Griffin Knights this time, but the people of the Snake Worship Sect should still be hidden in the royal capital, you don't have to be careless, and strive to search them out in the shortest possible time and arrest Kerris. ”

"I was about to report to you," Leo also had a slight smile on the corner of his mouth, "I just got the news that an elder of the Ike family claims to have some news of the snake cult, and I am about to go back to interrogate it." ”

"Okay!" King Ulrike subconsciously clapped his hands fiercely, looking particularly happy, "I'm going to the north soon, I hope to see your good news when I come back!"

"Your Majesty rest assured," Leo bowed and said, "Before you return triumphantly, there will definitely be a major breakthrough in this case, and the remnants of the Snake Worship Sect in the royal capital will inevitably be punished." ”

"Well, Count Leo, when this case is settled, the king will naturally reward you heavily," said King Ulrique, also sitting on one side of the chair, and the next moment, the wide chair also creaked, "All right, you can go." ”

Hearing this, Leo bowed slightly, and left the palace, at this time walking in the garden outside the palace, Leo looked at the lion servants who were guarding the palace around him, these lions were obviously elite, the ninth order accounted for the vast majority, and the qi was particularly deep and terrifying, different from the lion servants led by Leo before, the heads here were all decorated with red feathers and steel light helmets, not only the defense was good, but more importantly, it was very majestic, and the momentum of the Lion Realm Palace complemented each other.

A few figures in important positions not far away were lion knights as high as the eleventh order, with a cloak and imposing covered chest and heavy armor, and the head was not the kind of giant helmet used by ordinary lion knights, but a helmet in the lion pattern, which was obviously also a customized version of the palace.

Leo looked at such a majestic guard, and secretly thought to himself in his heart - greedy!

Not to mention anything else, just such a group of guards guarding the palace, if they are pulled out, I am afraid that it will be enough to easily level a small principality, and the foundation of the Lion Realm Kingdom is still very much behind it.

I also have to work harder, Leo said secretly in his heart, as if he suddenly realized something, this period of time is a little floating, holding two sharp swords of the Wind Patrol and the Lion Knight, and few people in the entire king will fight against him, so that Leo has a little fluttering, and seeing the strict guards of this palace at this time also makes Leo a little alert.

Everything he had now was based on the two great bounties of King Ulrique, and it was clear that neither the Storm Patrol nor the Lion Knight could be in the hands of one of his real nobles forever, and when King Ulrique took everything back, he would still be just a field baron who had been made an earl.

When the time comes, how will he deal with himself?

For a while, Leo also thought a lot, and his eyes turned from the initial confusion to the firmness he is now, or to develop his own territory is fundamental, especially the need for a strong force as a backing, if the strength in his hands is strong enough, even if he does not have the two trump cards he has now, he doesn't have to worry too much.

Leo thought, the previous confusion in his eyes gradually subsided, turning into a faint firmness, what is the fastest way to enrich his strength now?

Magic Crystal!

After chuckling, Leo returned to the Wind Patrol Headquarters with Uncle Vent, who was waiting outside the palace, with a faint expectation, and at this time, many Wind Patrols were not surprised by Uncle Vent, they all knew that this person was the most trusted person by their own Wind Patrol Envoy.

Of course, Leo didn't bother to pay attention to the strangeness of many of his subordinates, and went straight to Bella, after all, what is the fastest way to get wealth at the moment?

"My lord, are you back?How about it, they didn't embarrass you at the meeting, right?" At this time, Bella saw Leo Shang's good expression, and was also slightly relieved, and then asked with a smile.

"It's okay," Leo replied with a smile, "a few nobles are concerned about this, but they don't plan to stand up for the Marquis of Ike, everyone knows that the Marquis of Ike has an unclear collusion with the Griffon Knights, so they just pay some attention."

No one intends to force the head for the Marquis of Echo, the focus of this meeting is still for the matter of King Ulrique's expedition, in order to deal with the threat shown by the Raven Realm this time, King Ulrique intends to personally go out to teach Duke Alderma a lesson. ”

"Your Majesty is going on a personal expedition?" Bella and Brown were all a little surprised, they didn't expect that the abnormal movement in the northern frontier would actually alarm King Ulrike to go on the expedition himself, which was really too unexpected for them.

"By the way, my lord, there are a few more pieces of news, it is about the Ike family's fief, this morning one of the Ike family's fiefdoms of the medium-sized city has been raided, the governor Fury Ike was taken down on the spot, and the Ike family's castle Ike Fort was leaked due to the army mobilization process, when the army arrived, the entire castle was empty.

Among them are Ulan Ike, the second son of Marquis Ike and some important members of the Ike family, most of the Ike family's castle savings have been taken away, and the harvest is not large. Bella said simply, "Look at the direction, it should be that you want to go north to cross the Icy Rain River and go to the Raven Realm Kingdom."

Maybe they will be able to run into Duke Aldemar just in time, but now that Duke Aldemar is gathering forces in the north, our army does not dare to approach without permission, and only arranges to let the foundation of the Ike family escape. ”

"Normal," Leo didn't look surprised, "The Ike family has been operating near Ike Fort for many years, and the incident happened suddenly, and we can't block too much news, the Ike family is also an upper-class noble family in the kingdom, how can it be so easy to be destroyed."

However, after all, it is a great loss of vitality, and its influence in the kingdom has completely disappeared, and for the Kingdom of Raven Realm, they are a new nobleman, I am afraid that it will be difficult to get attention, not to mention these, how about the raid of Marquis Ike's mansion?"

"My lord, although this Marquis Ike's mansion is only a part of his family's royal capital, it still gains a lot. Bella also said with a faint joy on her face, and Leo was not surprised by this, after all, this is the royal capital, the power center and economic center of the Lion Realm, if you want to make waves here, you can't do it without capital, "Your Excellency, please come with me." ”

As Bella walked around to the treasury, no, to be precise, it should be in the small courtyard outside the treasury, where there were large bronze chests, with the seal of the Wind Patrol, and a small parchment note with the words "Ike Family", no doubt that this was the result of the Ike family's seizure.

"My lord, these are not in the warehouse yet, please decide," Bella and Brown chuckled at the corners of their mouths, and showed a tacit smile to Leo, what do you mean?

There is no storage, naturally it is not on the register, the Ike family is an ancient family, the upper nobles of the kingdom, how terrible their wealth is, even if it is just a mansion in the royal capital, it is also an absolutely impossible to underestimate number.

"The money seized from the Ike family was staggering, amounting to 365,421 dinars and 2,584 gold coins, with a total value of 623,821 dinars. Bella first burst out a staggering number, which made Leo's heart tremble slightly.

Good wealth, this is just the cash of the Ike family in the royal capital, there are more than 600,000 dinars, this is too exaggerated, this is too exaggerated, so calculated, how exaggerated will the wealth of the entire Ike family be?

However, looking at the expressions of Bella and Brown, although they were also suppressed, they did not have such an unbelievable expression, after all, this is the strength of the kingdom's marquis family.

"In addition, there are two shops in the city centre, a large oil refinery, and two large mansions, all worth about 160,000 dinars. Béla looked at the parchment scroll in her hand and said again, "In addition, there are eighty-four antiques of various curiosities, which are roughly estimated to be worth about 100,000 dinars according to the connoisseur's rough estimate. ”

Bella said in one breath, the harvest of this trip is really a lot, nearly 900,000 dinars, the huge Ike family, even if it is just the royal capital mansion, has such amazing financial resources, worthy of the kingdom's strength of the marquis.

"Look, sir?" said Brown, who was on the side, obviously expectantly.

"According to the previous Wind Patrol Envoys, how will it be arranged?" asked Leo with a slight frown.

"This ......" Hearing this, Brown and Bella subconsciously glanced at each other, looking a little surprised, but also a little surprised, they didn't know what this new patrol envoy meant, could it be the king's spies, after all, they didn't know much about Leo.

"Don't worry, I don't want to break everyone's rules," Leo saw this, and said with a light smile, in the future, he will rely more on these wind patrols, and he will not always serve as a wind patrol, so naturally he will not take the initiative to rigidize everyone's rules.

As for being an honest and honest patrolman, I'm sorry, this does not exist for Leo, a wicked nobleman who has become a human master in this life to exploit the vast number of Pande commoners, although he has such an idea on the surface, but ...... It conflicted too much with his long-term plan, and he had to tearfully (smile) cross out this option.
