650 Poverty restricts ......
"Is the infighting in the Temple of Light already so serious, and it actually plays the method of assassination."
Buffon smiled bitterly, the internal affairs of the Temple of Light should not let others know too much, after all, it is good to cover the ugly things of his own family in the bed.
But the Pope and the Holy Maiden can't hold back such a big thing, and now that the battle between the two sides is in a white-hot state, blatant assassinations are already a common thing.
If ordinary people talk like this in front of him, Buffon will definitely have to throw his face to show the other party. But the person in front of him was not only affected by the 'internal affairs' of their Temple of Light, but also saved them, no matter how harsh the other party's words were, he had to listen carefully.
Nishizawa Naber next to him walked up and said with a smile: "Anyway, Your Excellency saved us, and now you have become a thorn in the side of the Holy Maiden, why don't you join us for the time being?" ”
It turned out that this side belonged to the Pope's department, and Beta just wanted to inquire about the recent situation in the Temple of Light, so when she heard this, she agreed: "Okay, no problem, I just want to find a comfortable place to rest." ”
The old man smiled when he heard this: "There is no more comfortable place in the vicinity than the City Lord's Mansion. ”
Nishizawa Naber stepped up and smiled politely, "I am the lord of Keshire County, and I am glad to invite Your Excellency to my residence for a while. ”
Keser County is the destination of Beta and the others, and the two sides hit it off.
Old Buffon smiled and said, "It's not convenient for your Excellency to ride horses, why don't you ride in the same carriage with Cecil?" ”
When Jessica heard this, she was immediately upset and glared at the old man. For her, riding with her master, and then her small body shrinks into the arms of her master, I don't know how comfortable it is, this old man will break his happiness as soon as he comes, which is really hateful.
Beta glanced at Cecil, who seemed to be full of anticipation, and politely declined.
Cecil is a little lost, and it is normal for this charming socialite to be happy to develop an ambiguous relationship with Beta. Beta wants to be good-looking, strong, and powerful, and has servants, and obviously has wealth and power, which is obviously four young people, and most women will like it.
After the guards had cleaned up their companion's bodies, the convoy moved on. Although there are fewer companions, but at the same time, there are also more people with obvious strength in Beta's team, so the atmosphere of the team is not too dignified, and the mercenaries and the priests of light are all groups who take the life and death of their companions lightly, so there is not much sadness in the atmosphere.
When the convoy arrived at Kese County and entered the city, a group of city defenders came and escorted them on both sides of the convoy.
Keshire is also a prosperous city, or should it be said, as the largest country in the human world, the city of Frans, any of which is quite prosperous, even if it is a small city, it has at least a population of more than 200,000, and a medium-sized city, with a population of more than 1 million, and it is said that the kingdom of Frans has a population of more than 3 million.
Walking through the bustling streets, Beta sat on a horse and saw two white-robed priests mixed in the crowd, and when they saw the convoy, their faces were a little ugly, and then disappeared into the crowd.
Entering the City Lord's Mansion, two teams of maids immediately came over, one team took care of the old man Buffon, and the other team entertained Beta and the other four people.
According to Nishizawa's process of hospitality, Beta and the others washed up and came to the hall.
The long dining table was filled with sumptuous food, and Cizezawa and Buffon were already waiting there, and Cecil was naturally there...... In addition to her, there were several young women who looked like noblewomen but were obviously celebrities, and their eyes were green when they saw Beta.
Men are good women, and so are women.
If Beta is old and ugly, even if he has the ability, Waujin will value him at most, and will not be so close to him. Therefore, many times, the little thing between men and women, what talent, money and power are just the foundation, and appearance is the decisive factor.
Beta sat down, and Jessica sat next to her, looking relaxed and natural.
Rooney was a little reserved, and Kelissa kept her head down.
For the two of them, it was indeed a bit too sudden to get along and talk directly with a nobleman of the level of the city lord.
Nishizawa was the owner of the place, and after making a 'please' gesture, he ate and asked, "What are your plans for next?" If you don't mind, can you become a magician advisor in the city? The people here also hope to be blessed by a magician. ”
The so-called magician advisor is actually a resident magician, who uses the financial resources of a city to help him build a magic tower, help search for magic materials, magic modeling, and so on.
Magicians do not have to obey the orders of the city lord, but they need to select some talented noble descendants from the nobles of the city to train and teach them to become talents. In addition, when the city is in danger, come forward to help.
This is a win-win approach, and many talented magicians are willing to do it, after all, it is a hassle for magicians who love to study to make money, not that they can't earn it, but that it is a waste of their time.
It would be best to have someone do it for you, anyway, teaching students is also a kind of examination of their own abilities and experience.
However, Beta naturally wants to refuse, first of all, he is a warlock, and he doesn't need such a thing as a magic tower, in fact, he is still a Pope to earn a lord, and he doesn't know how much higher his rank is than the other party. Although the wealth and enjoyment of the king in the small country of Hollevon may not be as good as that of a large and medium-sized city lord like Chenlans, many times, it is also the common idea of many aspiring people to be the head of a chicken rather than the tail of a phoenix.
Seeing Beta's refusal, Nishizawa didn't have much disappointment, which was expected by him.
It was the first time he had seen such a young and powerful magician, and he must have been trained by the great family, and the other party would definitely not look down on the small city of Kese County.
Beta looked at Buffon Sr. and asked, "I have offended the Holy Maiden now, so I want to ask the old man, what should I pay attention to?" ”
In the face of Beta's directness, Buffon was a little surprised, and then nodded thoughtfully and said: "Actually, the problem is not too big, our pope line, and the rebellious saint line, are still inseparable." They can't pull out their hands against anyone else. ”
Beta didn't believe half of this, although this old Buffon looked at the face and Yu Shan, but the performance is the ability of all politicians He heard the potential meaning of the other party, and now the Pope's faction is already at a disadvantage, if it is really as he said, he can't take action to deal with others, then the city lord of Cize-Naber will not be implicated.
As if nothing happened, Beta continued to ask, "So, if I want to do my part for His Majesty the Pope of Light, who is the best one to find?" ”
Buffon Sr. was beaming, but soon his smile was gone, and if it weren't for Beta's sharp eyes, he wouldn't have noticed it.
"Although we don't like to involve ordinary believers, if we really have this intention, we can go to Echo City and talk to the city lord, I can write you a letter of introduction, he will be very happy."
"Then thank you Bishop Buffon." Beta raised his glass and drank it down, thanking and saluting.
Buffon Sr. also took a sip in return, and Nishizawa laughed on the sidelines, looking extremely happy.
After that, the banquet lasted until late at night, and the two sides were very harmonious on the surface, but in fact the temptation was everywhere.
Both sides are old fox-level 'actors', Beta didn't get more news from the other party, and the elder Buffon naturally didn't understand Beta's identity and the forces behind him.
The next morning, after breakfast, Beta left with Rooney and the others amid the other party's voice.
After leaving Kesshire, Beta tore up the letter of introduction given to him by Buffon Sr. on the side of the road and threw it into a nearby creek.
Watching the pieces of paper flow along the stream, Rooney asked curiously, "Master, aren't you going to meet the city lord of Echo City?" ”
"I want to see him, but I don't need a letter of introduction from the old man, and I don't use my current identity. It's in a different way. Beta smiled slightly: "The other party has no good intentions, if we take that letter of introduction, we may be treated differently!" ”
Rooney looked puzzled: "I don't quite understand!" We saved him after all. ”
"Many times, what the superior considers is not simple gains and losses, or more superficial grievances and hatreds." Beta sneered twice: "Even if their Temple of Light is in internal strife, he is also their internal matter, I am not among their trust, and the old priest has even guessed that I am not from France." Most of his letters of introduction contain a lot of code words, and if I take them, I will definitely be secretly investigated by the city lord of Echo City. ”
Rooney was still puzzled: "In that case, why do we have to go over?" ”
"It's natural not to use your current identity to pass." Beta smiled: "But if we change our identity, a legal identity will pass, and there will be no problem." ”
Three days later, Rooney finally knew why his owner said he was going to change his identity.
Beta came to visit the Assassins' Guild, and two days later, Beta became a down-and-out nobleman in Lago, even owning a territory manor, which was a little dilapidated, but Beta spent some more money and renovated it.
But now Beta's name is Cook Green, and Rooney and the others are his servants.
"Master, isn't this a deception?" Rooney stood beside Beta and said with a constipated face: "What are you pretending to be another nobleman now, what should I do if someone finds out?" ”
"No one can find out except the Assassins' Guild." Beta smiled: "We have noble blood documents and manor certificates. All of them are my fingerprints, and the French country has a very human rule, blood documents, and manor certificates, only looking at fingerprints and not people. So now that I'm the rightful head of the Grimm family, even if someone knows something, there's no way to trouble me. ”
"What about the original people of this family? If they come to report it......" Rooney was a little worried.
"It turns out that all the people in this family are dead, otherwise the document would not have fallen into the hands of the Assassin Guild, I don't know how they used to remove the fingerprints on the paperwork, but their credibility is still good."
Rooney was still worried: "What if the original enemy of this family denounces?" ”
"They shouldn't be stupid enough to do such an enemy-making thing, after all, we are not the original Green family, and there is no need for them to target us." Beta sneered slightly: "If they are really stupid to this point, I don't mind showing their strength." Whether it's money, or personal strength. ”、
Kelissa was bringing up the freshly squeezed juice, and when she saw Beta's sneer, she suddenly became a nymphomaniac, and her face turned a little red.
Jessica was resting on the ground on the side, even if she had strong energy, she was too tired to clean most of the manor.
Rooney swallowed his saliva, and he asked a question that had been held back for three days: "Master, how much did you spend on this noble title and manor?" ”
"Not much, just five hundred gold."
Five hundred...... Rooney almost fell to his knees, which was an unbelievably large number for him, and the master did not say a word, but it seemed light. No wonder the owner bought the identity of a nobleman so easily.
"By the way, Rooney, you and Kelissa will go to the street and buy some color and gray hair dye." Beta thought for a moment and said, "By the way, when Jessica wakes up, you can go with her, and you will have to buy some daily necessities and food as you like, and we will have to stay here for a while." ”
Rooney responded in a trance, and Kelissa was also in a trance.
In this way, Beta settled down in Lagoshire for the time being, and he also found a few bards and asked them to go to the tavern to promote it, and it didn't take long for the entire upper nobility of Lagoshire to know that the five-year-old Grimm family had returned.
In one of the inns, the glamorous merchants and the inhabitants of the well-to-do were drinking in the tavern, and a bard sang:
"The youngest son of the Green family, dragging his scarred body, found the legendary Red Magic Tower. The wise red-robed mages came out of the tower, noble and sacred, and they surrounded the young son of the Grimm family, sending their blessings, and draping a red magic robe over him. ”
"The young son's eyes were full of tears, he had become a great red robe, and now he ...... He's back, back to the Lago ...... who gave birth to him and raised him."
Before the bard could finish his lame ballad, a middle-aged nobleman with an angry face grabbed him by the placket and dragged him up.
"Who made you sing the ballad?" The middle-aged aristocrat looked at the bard coldly.
The bard replied in horror, "Your Excellency, it was the youngest son of the House of Grimm who made me sing, and he gave me five silver coins. ”
"He asked you to sing, and you sang it?" The middle-aged nobleman's fat face had an obvious murderous aura: "Now, go and tell your peers that if anyone dares to sing this ballad again, he won't want to leave Lagoa County alive in the future." ”
The bard crawled out of the tavern.
