Ciel snorted, scoffing at Layton's allegiance.

Valila looked at himself with composure, because Levi next to him still didn't react, and looked at Layton with a smile.

"It's nothing, Baron Layton, and I'll give you a lot of things in the future. ”

Levi's words are not a pie, as long as Leighton helps him with his affairs, he will not be stingy with weapons and armor.

"It's just a pity that my subordinates are also beginners in enchantment, otherwise you would probably get an outstanding quality longsword with three layers of enchantment. ”

Levi sighed in his words, and with a little helplessness on his face, he unconsciously shook the wine glass under his hand.

Enchanted swords and armor have a total of five qualities: excellent, excellent, outstanding, excellent, and perfect, corresponding to one to five levels of enchantment, and the specific value still depends on the specific effect of the enchantment.

And items with more than five enchantments, even if they are not effective, are still legendary items.

This standard is the rule of the main plane of the Star Relic, and it has to be lowered in a secondary plane like Kenriva, so the excellent quality of the enchanted longsword has already shocked Layton.

There was a lot of information in Levi's words, and Layton was even more happy after hearing it, and he already vaguely felt that his decision was correct.

With enough bargaining chips, the dignity of the nobility is likely to become worthless, and if the Joseph family can rise, what if he can raise another gun and give birth to one?

"Alright, put things away, get everything off the table, we still have something to talk about. ”

"Yes, Master Mage. ”

When Layton answered, he quickly summoned the butler, who then ordered the servants to get busy, and in a short time removed all the food from the table, leaving only the cup so that Levi could continue to taste the wine.

With this done, the butler and his servants left the hall of the castle, while Arya and Owen went out together, keeping the door of the hall closed.

Seeing that Levi was about to talk about business, Mira also got up to leave, but was stopped by Levi.

"Come along, Mira, I'm sure you won't murder the Joseph family. ”

Mila's reaction was in Levi's eyes, his subordinates were now lacking such characters, and Mira knew what was happening. Since he couldn't kill him, Levi decided to give him a chance.

"Thank you, Lord Levi. Mira smiled in response and sat back in her seat.

At this time, Levi shifted his gaze to Leighton's body and said, "I have taken a general look at the report you sent before the dinner, your decision is right, let them live for the time being." ”

"It was Miss Valila's idea, and she said those people might be useful to you, and we stayed. Layton explained.

"Well, maybe it's useless, the main thing is that there's no point in killing it now. If there is any news later, it can be confirmed from their mouths. ”

Levi took a sip of the fruit wine in the glass, frowning and thinking about the contents of the report, "Do you know the information of the so-called goddess of love?"

"The goddess of eros is not very clear, but the goddess of eros is a third-rate church, and her followers are mostly dissolute men and women. Most of the clergy are young women, which is said to be a fetish of the goddess of eros.

This church came into being after the fall of the god of love, and it was only a hundred years old. Those clergy had preached that the goddess of love was the successor of the priesthood of love, and the Goddess of Eros church grew for a time.

But then there were many chaotic incidents in the church, including the clergy seducing the mayor and the lord, which destroyed many originally happy families, so they were gradually ostracized by everyone and finally expelled.

Of course, there are also some noble lords who like the Church of Eros, because it increases the reproduction of the territory to a certain extent. As long as the lord's wife does not become a believer in the goddess of eros, there is no problem. ”

Then, Layton wrote on the paper the characters read "Isser" and pushed it in front of Levi, "This is the name of the goddess. ”

The name of the god cannot be called directly, otherwise it is likely to attract the attention of the other party, especially in the plane of the other party's attention.

"This bishop of the Church of Eros came to visit me, because I don't have a church temple here, so I want to build a temple of Eros here. But I refused. ”

It's not that Layton is noble, it's just that the Church of the Goddess of Lust plays more things than the aristocracy, and when exposed to the surface, it really affects the reputation of the Joseph family, which has a heritage of more than a hundred years.

"But looking at the current form, the Church of Eros did not give up, so it sent spies to find out about the situation of the Joseph family and find where you need to start. ”

The so-called gods are no different from people, and when there is no way, they will use a lot of means, and Levi, as the lord of the Star Relic Clan, knows the faces of those sanctimonious guys very well.

"Yes, Master Mage, the truth should be as you suspected. Layton chimed in.

At this time, Mira lowered her head and listened quietly without speaking.

"Go and check the specific information of the Goddess of Eros Church, and as for the rest, let's leave those people in the Eros Temple alone and see what they want to do. ”

A third-rate church is just a god with weak divine power, and he is not good at fighting, as long as he is not incarnated, he is not afraid.

In other words, will a god with weak divine power have an incarnation?

"Yes, Master Mage. ”

Layton answered, then interrupted Mila's daze and asked her to record everything Levi had told her to do.

"Now let's talk about the Rhine family. ”

Drinking all the fruit wine in the cup, Levi put down the cup, "First of all, give me a brief report on the battle situation of your two families." ”

Levi suddenly mentioned the war between the two families, and Layton was a little surprised at first, and then he immediately understood a lot of things.

At the thought of the situation of the war, Layton unabashedly put a trace of sadness on his face.

"There has been no substantial progress in this war, and after more than half a month, it has now completely evolved into a robber-like plunder, and the territory is now only occupied by one more village, and it may be recaptured by the Rhine family at any time. ”

In Layton's heart, I have to say that this war was fought a little confused, but what Kyle did went too far, and Joseph must not be able to bear it for the glory of the nobility.

Originally, when the war was late, he thought that the Celts were using the army of the Joseph family to consume the power of the two knights in the territory, but now it seems that it should be the plan of the mage.

Then, Layton went back to his study and took a detailed war report and presented it to Levi.

Levi took the battle report and looked at it, and when he saw the battle record of the town of Ankri, he suddenly remembered something,

"By the way, tomorrow I will bring back the troops sent to the town of Ankri, Katerina was sent by me, in order to attract most of your defense. Not anymore, when the army leaves, Caterina will defend you. ”

"Yes, Master Mage. Layton had already expected it, so he was no longer surprised.

"Also, I forgot to tell you my other identity, Levi Stuart, the illegitimate son of the Rhine family and the brother of Katarina. ”

Levi continued to look through the battle report, and without raising his head, he said something that made Layton and Mira instantly nervous.

"This news does not need to be kept secret, if someone asks, it can be said directly. ”

Layton was so shocked that he didn't know what to say, so he could only nod his head again and again.

No matter what the last name of this mage was, he didn't have the heart to suspect it, and there was no need for the other party to lie to him. And if it's an illegitimate child, then everything that happened can be explained.

Ignoring their reactions, Levi continued to check the battle reports of the two families.

The first part of the content of the battle report that Layton gave him was basically the same as the information collected by Katarina, and the battle report was more detailed.

But the more he got to the back, the more Levi found the problem, and the number of standing troops in Celtic's hands kept fluctuating, and it turned out to be bigger and bigger.

"Layton, is your report accurate?"

"Exactly, Master Mage, there won't be more than five people in it. Layton said with an oath.

Levi frowned, "Then why is there more and more standing army in Celtic's hands?

Layton sighed slightly, and explained, "The Celts gave all the militia and the knighted army the name of the standing army, and the pay also mentioned equal treatment, and it was these people who fought against the Joseph family in the first place. ”

This kind of thing was only discovered later, because of the fragility and abnormal number of the opponent's elite army, so he sent someone to find out the reasons behind these.

Levi habitually nodded to indicate that he understood, and according to Layton, combined with the contents of the war report, it could be seen that the Joseph family did not cause much trouble to Celtic.

Most of the frequent wars with the Josephs were the armies of the two knights of the Rhine, and the Celtic standing army suffered very little losses, and now there were at least 700 or more men.

This is very different from the information given to him by Katerina, and it seems that Celtic is deliberately showing weakness.

The other party used the power of the Joseph family to weaken the army of the two knights while preserving its strength, and then found an opportunity to completely control the territory of the Rhine family.

Levi was also very helpless, he didn't expect the Joseph family to be so passive in this war, and this was because he helped solve the Rhine family's Sir Desai.

Leighton also had two knights, one of whom led his troops to the town of Ang Kle, and the other guarded the borders of the realm.

"I'm curious, the results of the Joseph family's current battle don't match your IQ. ”

Layton was stunned, and for a moment he didn't understand whether Levi's words were complimenting him or being sarcastic, "Master Mage, what do you mean ......?"

"Didn't you have the idea of tricking Caterina into attacking the Rhine family in her name and then annexing the Rhine family's territory?"

Levi always felt that something was wrong, but he never figured out what was wrong. Now that he had thought about it, Layton was completely like a traditional aristocracy, a far cry from what he had imagined before.

Levi, who was frowning, suddenly had a hint of realization, and turned his head to look at Mira, "The thing about Caterina was planned by you?"

Mira looked strange and got up nervously, "I'm sorry Lord Levi, I didn't know about your existence at that time, so I made that plan with my brother, please don't blame my father!"

"Don't be nervous, Mila, I didn't mean to blame you. ”

Looking at the skeptical Mila, Levi further explained,

"Now, the Joseph family and the Rhine family are equal to us, and you are equal to Katerina.

I don't care about things in the past, and I won't care too much about things between you in the future. Just don't delay what I command. ”

Li Wei's words did not hide his intentions, and he almost made it clear that whoever has the ability of the two families will be on the throne.

Mira was so clever that she could hear it at once.

Leighton also received the signal, and asked tentatively, "Then what do you think we should do next?"

"The war against Celts has to continue, and it can't be as small as it is now. ”

Li Wei closed the battle report, intending to stabilize the affairs of the two families as soon as possible, and start to develop on this basis.

This will allow you to quickly get in touch with Egger, and when Delman and Raphinia have news, they will start looking for a location to build the lighthouse.

"Withdraw all your armies and recruit new recruits as soon as possible. The standard is trained according to the standards of the militia, and the main task is the defense of the town.

I'll take care of all the attacks, and these recruits will be used to take over the captured town. ”

"Yes, sir. ”

Leighton hurriedly responded, and then said, "Then I will hand over the standing army to your command." ”

"No, your army is still under your command and is responsible for a frontal attack. ”

Levi moved the glass to Valila and motioned for her to pour it, and continued, "When the time comes, I'll be there to assist you in the town when your army attacks. ”

As for how to help, Levi doesn't need to go into too much detail, these things that happened in the Baron's Castle are the best reference.

"Settle the Celtic matter as soon as possible, and then there is no spies from another family in the dungeon, if the time is right, I will help Baron Layton solve this problem." ”

Layton was overjoyed for a moment, completely unaware of the two great tidings in one night, and hurriedly thanked Levi again for his generosity, and said a series of words of allegiance.

Levi accepted Leighton's allegiance with a smile, and then stood up, "Hurry up and arrange these things, including the aftermath of the Baron's Castle, and then we will discuss the specific plan to deal with Celtic after the arrangement." ”

"Yes, Master Mage. Layton and Mira rose from their seats together.

"I'll go back and rest first, and no one should disturb my meditation. There's something to tell the guard at the door, and I'll take care of it after I'm done meditating. ”

Gulping down the wine, Levi asked Valila to call Arya and Owen back from the door, and led the others upstairs to their room.

Layton and Mira bowed their heads and stood at the table as the mage left, not moving until the figure disappeared into the hallway.

And Levi returned to the room without stopping, opening the plane portal, Arya and several people carried the box back to the plane, and then Levi's figure also disappeared into the room.
