Chapter 38: Meeting the Duke
Of course, this small turmoil in the process will not cause any big movement.
Looking at the extremely prosperous Lion City, Leo was still quite curious.
Looking around, it also attracted a lot of people quite funny, and it wasn't until Leo lived in the largest tavern in the Lion City that many people's eyes turned to envy.
The interior of the tavern is quite luxurious, with a clean and bright bar counter and a brand new table.
But legend has it that there are some mercenary warriors in the tavern?
"This is the Kent Tavern, one drink is enough for a few days' salary for those adventurers of average strength, how can they afford to come here?" replied the fellow very enthusiastically.
"Man, you should also be able to see that I have just arrived in the royal capital, and I don't know much about things.
Therefore it is up to you to tell me some news, and as long as your answer satisfies me, the dinar will be indispensable to you. In the tavern, Leo didn't emphasize his identity, but took out a handful of dinars like an adventurer.
The guy glanced at it, but he maintained a professional smile on his face, and he didn't look tempted at all, "Dear guest, we don't sell news." ”
Bang Chang ...... Bang Chang ...... Bang Chang ......
Three more dinars fell on the table, and there were fifty or sixty dinars on the small table.
This is definitely not a small amount, even this guy has seen the world, and the salary of the tavern is definitely not low, so he is a little stunned at this time.
"As long as you tell me what you know, it's all yours, it's a good deal, isn't it?" Leo chuckled, the cold dinar was still quite useful.
......
After half an hour's effort, Leo also had a general overview of the Lion City.
The mighty Lion City, with its silver throne in a huge palace, proclaims absolute power.
Many nobles are mixed in the huge Lion City, and the royal family of the Lion Realm fantasizes about the style of the kingdom of the Osa era, hoping to plant the Lion Banner all over the Pander Continent.
However, from the narrative, Leo also faintly felt that after many years, the national strength of this huge dynasty was gradually declining.
It's just that the terrible strength of the royal family and nobles firmly suppresses all variables, but in the royal capital, there are also many royal ministers with terrifying strength.
Even the royal family has to respect them, and among them, Duke Alama is the most advanced one.
"Hello, honorable Baron Leo, I am an attendant of the Duke of Alama and the Duke of Alama invites you to his mansion. ”
When the meticulously dressed squire politely said this sentence in front of Leo, it undoubtedly attracted the attention of many people.
"Did you hear that, it's a baron, and you've been invited by the Duke of Alama to do so. A guest whispered, looking quite different.
"My eyes ...... Phew, I'm not blind...... Not deaf. "My friends around me are obviously a little drunk, but they still maintain a basic consciousness.
Most of the people here have some status, and they naturally have some understanding of the identity and status of Duke Alama.
Of course, there are no high-status figures, but who has some background, who doesn't have a mansion in the royal capital?
Therefore, when everyone heard that Leo had received an invitation from Duke Alama was naturally extremely surprised, and everyone was vaguely curious about Leo's identity.
......
The tall single-family mansion stood on an extremely wide area, and all the decorations were extremely luxurious, and the two eighth-order Changhe City sentinels standing guard at the door once again raised the specifications of this mansion.
"Kevin, Wirt, and Moore all mentioned you in the letters they sent me, and they all had a good opinion of you. Duke Allama's voice was still a little sonorous.
This is a stout man, with a physique comparable to a wild bear, and the beauty of his strength is displayed on his body, even if he is physically strong, and when he talks to Leo, his clothes are not half loose.
This is a highly self-disciplined person, Leo gave such a definition, and when he talked, his impression of the Duke in front of him became better and better.
This Duke of Allama is much more worry-free than the other party's treacherous son.
"Especially Captain Moore, he asked me to take care of you to a certain extent, I have a very good relationship with you, so boy, you are lucky. Duke Alama said very heartily, "In the royal capital, there are not many things that I can't deal with. ”
Captain Moore is the head of the Horn Summoning Knights, and the headquarters of the Knights is in Long River City, so the relationship between the two will naturally not be bad.
"Thank you, Lord Duke," Leo was naturally overjoyed, he naturally knew what kind of person the Duke of Alama was in front of him, even if it was King Ulrique, he would have to sell a little face.
Especially under the command of the other party, there are terrible lion knights, and there are also a huge number of horns to summon rangers, and the strength of the other party, throughout the entire Pande, is also extremely high, and the status is naturally even more terrifying.
Captain Moore is really a charcoal for himself, and he was worried that he was unfamiliar with life in the royal capital and had no backer.
"Well, Werther told me that you fought those ogres or something, and I came to you to ask about that. As if thinking of something, the Duke spoke again.
"It should be a creature from another continent, coming from far and wide," Leo said with a slight frown, "similar to the Noldor elves of yesteryear."
After crossing the oceans, there were only one of these ogres and goblins, and when I first encountered them, they were still robbers and robbers.
But later, he directly began to besiege Changhe City, especially in that battle, which was mixed with the conspiracy of the Southern Snake Worship Sect. ”
"Well, I've heard that Maltis personally took action, hmph, that woman is extraordinary, and it's normal to hurt the defenseless Moore Regiment Leader. Duke Alama snorted softly, but apparently without the fear of others when he mentioned it.
"Do you think those ogres have anything to do with the Serpent Cult?" Duke Alama asked, as if thinking of something.
Hey?
Leo was naturally a little stunned, he didn't expect that when the Serpent Cult almost took the initiative to declare responsibility for the siege of the city, Duke Alama suspected that it had little to do with the other party?
Although Leo felt the same way in his heart, he knew that the ogre was besieging the city, and he was afraid that it was because of his dragon banner fragments.
But all this, Duke Alama in front of him doesn't know, why does he have such suspicions?
"Hmm......" Leo hesitated slightly.
"Don't think too much, know what to say, guess. Duke Allama frowned slightly.
"Lord Duke, I feel that those ogres and goblins don't seem to have much to do with each other," Leo said, "and I can see that they have cooperated quite hastily.
Moreover, before the ogre was learning robber robbery, if it was really related to the snake worship, they would not be so poor, and they would not besiege the city with that strength.
That's just an egg hitting a stone, so I don't think the ogre seems to have much to do with the Serpent Cult. ”
"Yes, I have such a guess, but after all, I have never seen it with my own eyes, and you can have this kind of thought, which means that I guessed correctly. Duke Allama said lightly.
"But whether those ogres have anything to do with the Snake Cult or not, there's no need.
Governor Wirther had already reported to me about ogres and goblins before the siege.
Of course, it was also because of your information that prompted him to make a decision. Duke Allama looked at Leo in front of him and said, "That is to send the Knights to sweep away those ogres before they may cause greater harm in the future." ”
Leo knew that this was also a normal thing, after all, robbers were still sensible, and they knew what to provoke and what they couldn't.
But those ogres can't communicate, so it's naturally best to get rid of them, so as not to suffer the people who come and go, and affect the prosperity of Long River City.
"By the way, Lord Duke, I have one more request, I would like you to help me meet His Majesty Ulrik. Leo thought about it, but still spoke.
He is a country nobleman, and if nothing else, it is still difficult to meet the king.
Even if he brought the glazed lion with him, who knows when the king will see him? There are too many risk factors.
But if the duke in front of him was introduced on his behalf, the possibility of surprise would be much smaller.
"Oh?" Duke Alama obviously didn't expect that Leo would make a request so quickly after he had just finished talking about taking care of the other party.
"You want to see King Ulrique?" the Duke of Allama was obviously surprised by Leo's request, "The king is not that easy to get along with.
If you are an ordinary person and ask for a meeting rashly, even if you are a local nobleman, it is inevitable that you will make an unpleasant scene. "The nobility of the field is still privileged in many ways.
"There is a matter of great importance that must be addressed to His Majesty," Leo said with a calm expression, "and I am sure that His Majesty will not be angry with me. ”
In the fire, even if Leo's family background has been initially formed, he has hugged a lot of thighs, but he is still too weak.
If you want to operate something, you still have to get close to the master of the Lion Realm in order to be able to develop faster, of course, there are risks and opportunities.
"Very well," Duke Allama glanced at Leo again, and saw the other party's determination, so he stopped persuading, "There will be a dinner in the palace tomorrow, and after the dinner, I will arrange for Your Majesty to receive you." ”
"Thank you, Lord Duke," for a moment, Leo was overjoyed, and after confirming everything, he thanked him and left.
On the way back, a big problem was solved, Leo only felt that he walked lightly, but after returning to the tavern and lying down, Leo was suddenly slightly stunned.
The next moment, Leo sat up suddenly, with a bit of surprise on his face, and it was the flow of information that the wordless book had entered his mind before.
It was difficult for him to contact before, but now it was the main delivery that opened a little, and the vague words of the big title made him frown.
