Chapter 5: Rifts and Confrontations (Part II)

"Richard, as a new priest, you have grown up too fast, and there may be some facts that have been drowned by time that you haven't noticed yet, so I'll tell you about it now. The Medusa clan, known as the favorite of the god of war, is a nation of heroes. In the nearly 10,000-year history of the Beamon Empire, there have been dozens of Medusa kings. ”

"Therefore, the title of royal family was not used to refer to the Terine lion and the Tiger of the Taggo tribe at first, but specifically to refer to the Medusa snake people. It's just that in the sea and land war 2,000 years ago, it was lost for a time and disappeared into the long river of history. However, during this long journey, they lost a large number of basic population along the way in order to return to the arms of their hometown mother. In return for this courage and faith, we must arrange fiefdoms for them. And their strength is indeed worthy of that title, not to mention that their patriarch is also a sacrifice, so it is reasonable to say the past. I am going to submit this matter to Lord Blatter, the cardinal high priest, who is still in the temple of the royal capital, along with the report on you. ”

Speaking of this, Mourinho raised the wine glass in his hand, paid tribute to Lao Liu, and drank it dry, and immediately an elf priestess stepped forward to fill the wine glass for him again, "As your mentor, I really hope you can understand my difficulties." There is not much land in the kingdom now, and it has long been divided up by the six ruling nobles, who have led dozens or hundreds of different subordinate races to live there for generations. ”

Lao Liu put down the knife and fork in his hand and said that he was listening.

"The Fox sit in the rich northeastern province and are always threatened by the Sea Tribe, but they also bring the most lucrative tax revenue to the kingdom; the Wolf tribe guards the saline forest of Floronto in the southeast to prevent the invasion of the human empire; the Pier tribe is stationed in the southern Southern Cross Forest to defend against the threat of tens of thousands of monsters and elven tribes; we are the Smai tribe who monitor the sunset swamp on the southwestern border to resist the sneak attacks of the wildlings and druids; in the northwest province are the Tygo tribe, who lead the elite army to exterminate the endless desert human bandits in the Taklamakan Desert; and the Rhine, as a royal family, sit in the central province and guard the royal capital of Beamon。 In this way, where can a large area of land be divided into such a heroic race?"

Mourinho's voice paused, "Except for the vast southern wasteland of the Sangan River, it is difficult to find a suitable fief in the kingdom. In addition, Medusa, as a family of heroes, must not be too small in their mining area, and they must also leave room for expansion. After all, even you, the war sacrifice, reached a range of five hundred miles when you received the title of the temple. Therefore, I am going to propose to the temple that the wasteland in front of the Emerald be re-carved for 800 miles, and awarded to these brave returning Medusa. I hope that you will thrive, prosper, and serve as horns for each other to protect this newly developed strategic location, the throat through which the kingdom must pass to the sacred mountain. ”

As soon as Mourinho's words fell, the temple scepter priests slapped their butts, "Congratulations, my lord! If it weren't for your Horned Eagle Knights, those Medusa who came from afar would probably die in the mire, you really love the people like a son, and your merits are immeasurable. ”

"This is what every Beamon should do, and it is not a credit not to turn a blind eye to his compatriots who are in distress. In light of this, I would strongly urge the Temple to forgive me of the reward given to me in this matter. The Lord Priest seemed to be in high spirits, and after laughing, he said a witty remark, "I can't be rewarded anymore~ I'm already the Lord Priest, unless Lord Blatter adds another title, it won't be appropriate." Of course, Richard can make an exception, this time he brought back the same long-vanished Wormman Beamon, and this merit should be promoted to one level as a reward. ”

The eyes of everyone at the table immediately turned to Liu Zhenzhen.

This is to oppress people with power, and if you are stupid and can't feel it, you automatically follow the train of thought of the superior and fall into the pit. The swan priest gave up his own merits, as a descendant disciple of the swan lineage, you Liu Zhenzhen will not give up? If you don't give up, you are a villain who has no teacher and is greedy for wealth and power;

Liu Zhenzhen did not answer immediately, he still had thousands of Beamon warriors under his command who were pointing at him for dinner, and he had to think about them.

However, not everyone is a superior person, and everyone can look at things from the position of the commander of the dominant side. Before Lao Liu could speak, someone was moved by the spirit of the old swan and took the initiative to jump out.

"No! Richard, like you, Mentor, is also the noblest of Beamons! Grace is our pride, and it is our duty to save the weak and our fellow citizens. We just did what we had to do, and too many rewards can only make us feel ashamed. Helen the little fox almost rushed to finish these words.

Lao Liu's face was stunned, Helen was both his mentor and his lover, and what she said could almost represent the official attitude of Fei Lengcui. Little fox, are you a mallet? Or a shrewd Fox, two or three kind words from others will provoke you to give away the meat in your mouth, this ruined girl, the family is too poor to open the pot, and you still pretend to be generous.

I don't know, how many people are secretly snickering in their hearts at the moment, but their faces don't show the slightest. Because Helen and Lao Liu are both grassroots sacrifices and have no deep background, many people are really jealous of their rapid rise, and not everyone can lay a foundation by themselves empty-handed.

In the past, the beautiful snake Cui Beiqian could also be regarded as a grassroots, but now that the Medusa race of 3,000 people has returned, this scepter priest will definitely defect to the past, and if he successfully takes over the position of the Great Shaman of Wei'an, he will be out of the grassroots class and can build his own family.

Just when everyone was about to open their mouths to praise the virtues of Helen's sacrifice. Guoguo rode a fat parrot and floated over Helen's head, dropping a string of "Silly B~Silly B~" and walking away.

At another table a dozen meters away, an elven archer impatiently took a nut from a fruit bowl and threw it at the parrot. The title of elven marksman is really not covered, from a long distance, he threw it casually, and it fell directly on Guoguo's head, "Bar click" was hit, and the two long ears couldn't stop this unexpected attack.

Guoguo touched her head aggrievedly, looking like she was about to cry.

Fei Lengcui's number one thug, Lao Liu's henchman, Guoguo's soul pet, the flaming crane from the Oriental Silk Continent shook his feathers elegantly, stood up, and was about to go over, when he saw the fairy dragon Daisi pressing his hand towards it and sitting down again. But a pair of dark eyes glared fiercely at the elf who had just shot on the other side.

Panda man Pan Shuai and the little thing have a very good relationship, is the first group of familiar partners, seeing this scene, the wrist-thick bamboo tube wine glass in his hand "bang", directly pinched into pieces, stood up and was about to walk over, and was pulled by the hippo poet Ao Fat.

"Don't let this little thing fly around anymore. Liu Zhenzhen frowned and said to Ning Yu. Then he turned his head and said to the Lord Swan Priest, "I am impressed by your bearing, and my humble body is willing to follow in your footsteps. ”

The words of the little fox Helen have already been spoken, Lao Liu has always believed in a mouthful of spit and a nail, and what his family says has to be recognized no matter how difficult it is. For Helen's sake, he suffered this loss.

It's over, a great credit is all covered by the beautiful man opposite, and it can no longer be used as a show-off capital in the future, Daisy and Jorna, the two fairy dragons pouted.

"You are truly worthy of the excellent sacrifice of my lineage, and you originally meant to share the difficulties of the mentor. Munirio praised the two juniors with approving eyes, "There is one more thing I haven't told you, and I don't know if I should say it or not." This Medusa has just arrived, and there is not a single gold coin on it, and the temple is also the Qingshui Yamen, and the Ministry of Finance of the Kingdom has fought a war with the desert human kingdom this year, and now it is a Chekin made of iron ~ a dime. It's hard to get money out of their pockets. Therefore, I have decided to allocate a sum of money from the Smyer family to support the initial construction of their territory, after all, I found them first, and it is up to me to take on this responsibility. ”

As soon as the old swan's voice fell, countless praises immediately began on the table, "Your generosity is comparable to that of King Solomon." ”

But Liu Zhenzhen's heart shouted, "It's bad! I have to rob Lao Tzu of my money if I occupy the land!"

Really...

"But there are no mines or farmland in the Danube, and this mining town cannot be effectively taxed and financed, so the survival of the heroes in the future is also a problem. The Lord Priest's gaze was firmly fixed on Comrade Lao Liu, "I know that Fei Lengcui has previously agreed with the Shabal family of the Duchy of Dolot to exchange trade and open shops. This includes the hugely lucrative arms workshops, Richard, and I hope you can properly share some of the benefits for these Medusa..."

"Dear Mentor, as a disciple, of course I have to follow in your footsteps, these snake people who have returned to the motherland after a hard journey have worked hard, I absolutely agree to allocate a certain number of shops to them, Fei Lengcui has always been smiling and welcoming customers from all over the world, and happy to receive friends from all over the world. Liu Zhenzhen didn't wait for Helen to speak, and hurriedly said first.

Can't wait for the little fox to open his mouth any longer, who knows how much benefit this child can give out with one mouth?

Now that he has met Lu Xihua, there is the support of the four worlds standing behind him, and a little weapon workshop is nothing, which is why he hid the news in advance, and became an exclusive agent himself, and he was full of money casually.

Mourinho was slightly stunned, he didn't expect Richard to agree so simply, and said with a smile, "If this shop is opened in Philemerald, it is not suitable for long-distance trade." There were no iron and steel mines in the Danube, and the transportation of raw iron ore from the Duchy of Dolot was too long and the cost of transportation would be very high, and these weapons would certainly have to be sold back to our Bimon military headquarters, and if the cost was too high, the kingdom's already scarce finances would be greatly strained. It is better to set up the weapon workshop in Medusa's territory, so that the cost of transporting raw ore is at least half less. ”

As soon as the old swan said this, even the scepter priests who were accustomed to flattery couldn't help but murmur in their hearts.

In the two guardian battles of the Philanthropy against the 1,000-man slave trapper of the Dolot Shabal family and the 10,000-person mercenary group of the "Tornado", the kingdom did not have any strength at all, and it relied on Richard's private forces to survive, and finally won.

To put it bluntly, after Fei Lengcui, who was so poor that rats had to cry and run out, won these two wars, the only direct benefit was the trade treaty signed with the Shabal family of the Duchy of Dolot, and the fattest of the trade treaty was the weapon workshop, and the arms sales have always been a huge profit among the huge profits.

As for the false name of opening the way for the kingdom to go to the Great Plains of Karimdo, Bimonzu, and worship the megalithic statue and five-colored totem pole of Kampas, the god of war, on the sacred mountain of Hyjal. In addition to the young priests' blood burning when they hear it, the old fritters of officialdom like the Fox Scepter Priests are afraid that they are very disapproving in their hearts.

The road is open, the human border is cleared, and of course it is no problem for the sacrifice to go, because they have a large number of followers. But do ordinary Beamon dare to go? Thousands of miles along the way, there is no protection from the Beamon Soldier Station!

In the human realm, however, there has always been a fierce eye on the human realm, and I am afraid that a beautiful little girl Fox will set foot on human soil and disappear within two days.

Now that Lord Mourinho's words, wouldn't it have allowed Fei Leng Emerald to fight two bloody battles? Just get back some worthless logistical baggage? Although the old and slippery Fox Scepter Priests were muttering in their hearts, they were absolutely silent on the surface.

Only the two honest Pier Scepter Priests were stupidly agreeing, "That's right, the Hero Clan, you can't starve to death, right?" Liu Zhenzhen seriously suspected that these two belonged to the kind of goods that would help others count the money if they were sold.

"Emerald is a land of miracles and heroes, and as heroes and noblest sacrifices, shouldn't we be broad-minded?" Mourinho's face appeared with a color called holiness. "Think of this Medusa, which has endured thousands of years of wind and frost and sacrificed nine-tenths of the population in exchange for return. ”

Hehe, here's the point.

After all, Helen is a fox man, no matter how religious she was before, it was out of reverence for her mentor, but at least she still has the economic acumen, and she has given it to you, what are we going to eat?

"The weapon workshop can be set up in Medusa's mincing, there is absolutely no problem with this..."Liu Zhenzhen slapped his chest with a "thump".

There was a slight hint of surprise on the face of the swan priest, and he was just about to smile and say a few words of praise, when Lao Liu spoke again.

"But..."Liu Zhenzhen swept around the square with his fingers, "I have to raise so many insect people under my hands, it is impossible not to make any gains..."

"Don't you have so many jewels?" Mourinho gestured to the door-sized chaise shells at the entrance of the passage not far away, containing pearl agate leftovers from the Blastoise.

Who the left these things here? Lao Liu really wanted to take a kick on himself, and his wealth would not be exposed! But he forgot that it was his nouveau riche temperament that instructed his subordinates to put these things on the side of the passage, in the name of removing moisture, because there was wind over there.

"Master Mourinho, whether these pearl agate can be sold is also a question, our Kingdom of Beamon is not rich, and treasures alone can't fill their bellies!" Helen smiled sweetly and hugged the neck of the beautiful snake mentor, "Medusa is the same clan as Mentor Cui Beixi, no matter how you say it, you can't treat them badly." Well, how about a weapons workshop on their side, and half of the proceeds from us?"

"What do you see?" the beautiful snake mentor came back to her senses from her joy, wiped the tears from her face, and looked up at the presiding priest.

"Why didn't I think of this solution!" Master Mourinho rubbed his eyebrows, shook his head and smiled bitterly: "It seems that I am really old." ”

Liu Zhen smiled reservedly, he really wanted to kill people in his heart, where did you not think of it, but wanted to kill it all.

"By the way, I almost forgot, in recognition of your selfless and great dedication in the battle between the Emerald and the human bandits, I bestow on you and Helen the honor of 'Star Robe Sacrifice' on behalf of the Kingdom Temple. The swan priest suddenly thought of something, clapped his palms, and said to Liu Zhen.

Immediately, an elf next to him took a square leather bag with a sealed mouth, and pulled out four neatly stacked moon-white sacrificial robes, with a ribbon-shaped neckline decorated with blue six-pointed stars, which was very eye-catching.

Liu Zhenxi and Helen looked at each other and smiled.

Star robe sacrifices are generally only given to the elderly, or to cover the corpses of old sacrifices that have died. It's a great honor, but it's just an honor. The only thing about Boolean B is that the Star Robe Sacrifice can enjoy the etiquette of the other party's chest first when meeting any nobles or high-ranking priests.

Lord Zidan was one of the recipients of the Star Robe Sacrifice, and the purple shaman of the beloved Vian Shaman also had Venus embroidered on the neckline, but it seems that he met Lord Mourinho first. So, it's good to listen to some things, and don't take them too seriously, if you take them too seriously, you won't have friends.

"Let me try it first. "Isn't Liu Zhen fighting for life and death just to stay in the country of King Beamon and not be laughed at. He casually took off his tattered sacrificial robe, revealing a body of fierce and wild muscles and tattoos on his back, and the severed arm of his left hand was shocking.

Maybe I haven't seen a sacrificial tattoo, the female elf with the star robe was a little dumbfounded, she didn't think of a sacrifice, in the winter, there was actually a pair of boots and underwear in the robe, and nothing else.

"Richard is worthy of being the only sacrifice in the kingdom that cultivates both song and martial arts. Master Mourinho bowed slightly, and a gleam flashed in his eyes.

Of course, people rely on clothes and horses to rely on saddles, and Liu Zhen, who has changed into a star robe, has an extraordinary bearing and looks forward to being proud. Once his face retracted from being scoundrel and violent, it naturally had an indescribable strength and majesty. Different from the majestic temperament naturally exuded by the old swan, Liu Zhenxi's majesty is a fierce and martial spirit poured out of flesh and blood.

If the majesty of the swan priest is the restraint of the oppression of the superior, then the majesty of Liu Zhen is to give people a dangerous vigilance, which is similar to facing a sleeping beast with bare hands.

Because the robe is on the placket. So every time Lao Liu took a step, a pair of white thighs were always exposed, which made a group of militiamen laugh wildly.

"This is the 'Order of the Cloud Commander' awarded to you and Helen for their meritorious service in resisting foreign enemies, and you and Helen deserve the honor. The beautiful snake mentor also took out a beautifully crafted rectangular box like a trick, took out a half-finger-long sword medal with a purple ribbon from it, and buckled it on Liu Zhen's left chest.

The sword-bladed medallions are made of silver, with a relief of the mist-shrouded Mount Hyjal in the Mongolian phrase "You will never walk alone" and a mist-shrouded Mount of Hyjal.

"The 'Silver Star Double-Headed Eagle Medal' inside is for your followers for their outstanding contributions to previous battles. The beautiful snake mentor helped Liu Zhen sort out the position of the silver medal.

The applause at the scene was thunderous.

Liu Zhen almost saluted an army, temporarily changed to a Patton-style salute, and then a humble greeting that could not be more modest.

After finishing the bag, Lao Liu found that the right chest of his star robe was embroidered with several hazelnut-sized patterns with money wheat ears.

Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be a thorn bird singing with wings on a crossed sword, a flaming crane with a red crown, and a diamond-shaped shield with four feathered arrows. The shield bears the initials of the word "puppet" in Beamon, and the cuffs with blue stars on either side have the emblems of a black blood-dripping dragon and a golden dragon.

You all know this bit of Lao Tzu, Liu Zhen pouted, but it's a pity that you don't know that my wife has received three more super-level demonic beasts.

"These are the signs that prove your status as a dual cultivator of singing and martial arts, the title of a natural soul singer and the first puppeteer of the Beamon Kingdom. The four swords on the shield represent the destruction of four steel puppets, and the dragon embroidered on the cuffs is a tribute to the slaughter of a black dragon of Hell and the defeat of a dragon knight of the Holy Court. Seeing Richard staring at these figures, the beautiful snake tutor smiled and explained to him.

"Why don't you have a pattern of fruit?" Liu Zhen asked in surprise, how could there be no pattern of his pro-demon pet?

"Little fool, how can the Frosty Snow Pychum be embroidered here? You can solve the matter of the two fairy dragons as soon as possible and obtain the recognition of Dragon City. I and the Great Shaman of Vian have been hiding this from you, and I haven't told Mentor Mourinho about it. Tutor Cui Beiqian leaned into Liu Zhen's ear and whispered, exhaling like an orchid.

This matter can't be hidden, that battle has already been seen in front of thousands of people, Liu Zhen is secretly funny, according to Mourinho's old calculations, how can he not know the truth.

"Everyone, please be still!" The Great Shaman then stood up again, smiling and making a "stomping pounce" gesture around him, a T-shaped movement composed of one horizontal and one vertical hands, which is more than the meaning of stillness in Mongolian rituals.

"Opening the road to the holy mountain of Hyjal is the pride of all Bhimon. On behalf of the Temple of Witherspoon, I present the Sacrifice of Richard and the Sacrifice of Helen with the Medal of the Southern Cross for outstanding contributions. Actually, you should be awarded the 'Medal of the Brave', just because you are both clergy, and this medal is already the highest honor in our Temple of Witherspoon. The Great Shaman of Wei'an also stood up and took out a velvet box from his side, and took out a water-based medal with a red ribbon floating from it, and buckled it on Liu Zhen's chest.

The applause at the scene was thunderous again.

You all have an appointment, right? Lao Liu's smiling face and muscles are a little tired, so you want to come together.
