Chapter 229: Mental Loss, Immeasurable
Kill a nobleman.
For Jenn, this is already commonplace, and he has a long history anyway. But for Bishop Howard, he was greatly frightened the moment he heard this. Although Alexander is not the first heir to the throne of Soros, he is not without status in the Soros family, and more importantly, if Jenn says kill him, what will be the consequences?
The Soros family will inevitably respond, if they don't react to the killing of their own family members, then it is conceivable that the majesty of the Soros family will plummet, as one of the most powerful families in the Skar Federation, Soros will definitely not let this happen.
"Of course I can."
Jenn snorted coldly and stared at Howard.
"He can kill me, why can't I kill him? Could it be that because we are foreign and have no roots here, it seems that we are better bullied? If we were killed here, would the Templar avenge us? The most you can do is protest, but what else can you do? β
"This ..............."
Hearing Jenn's unceremonious rhetorical question, the old bishop was speechless for a while. Because what Jenn said was the truth. If he had died here today, there really wouldn't have been anything the Templars could have done, maybe they would protest and condemn, but that's about it. The Templar Order was not monolithic in the first place, and Jenn's title of nobility was conferred by the God of War Temple, so it was naturally impossible for other temples to really fall out completely for a person like him and one of the top families in the Eagle Plateau. So in the end, the best outcome was that Alexander was imprisoned, but the best was that.
"You're arguing with words!!"
I saw that the old bishop was forced to run out of words by Jenn. The Golden Saint Seiya stood up again, staring at Jenn dissatisfiedly and speaking.
"As a decorated nobleman. You should be mindful of the glory of the Templar Order, and what you are doing now will only embarrass the Templar Order. Have you not thought of the responsibilities it represents while you enjoy the glory bestowed upon you by the Templar? β
"I think you're mistaken, young lady."
Hearing the other party's words, Jenn didn't even look at her.
"I became a nobleman because I deserve it, what the Templar once owed to our family, and now it just gave us back what it should have given us a long time ago. It's not a handout, it's not a gift, it's a repaymentβso I don't need to be thankful for what the Templar has done. And you have no right to accuse me, you don't know where to nurse when I was dealing with countless evil monsters in the dark realms for the sake of the Templars! β
"You're ............!!"
Hearing Jenn's words, the paladin named Erin suddenly froze, while Bishop Howard sighed secretly. Erin was fine with everything, but her years of life in the Templar Order meant that she didn't know much about the outside world, and it seemed that memorizing the creation epic and doctrine would not solve any of her problems. In Erin's mind, Jenn's title is a blessing of glory from the Templar Order, so he must be thinking about the Templar Order. That's what a typical rookie thinks. In fact, Jenn's statement is a blatant revelation of the Templar's nobles -- this is nothing more than a reward given by the Templar Order to its helpers, and the relationship between the two parties is not a relationship of reward and reward, but a transactional relationship. Jenn was honored as a nobleman for helping the Templars complete their mission in the Dark Lands, and was recognized by the Nine Saints. So his canonization was a matter of course. But after that, whether he needs to consider the Templar or not is another matter.
In fact, the history of the Templar Order is full of similar figures, albeit heroes. But many heroes are actually born in the market, and even more gather around heroes for profit. Among them are mercenaries such as thieves and mercenaries. After receiving the Order's bounty, these guys won't be as grateful to the Order as anyone else. Instead, they will find ways to use this status to seek some convenience and benefits for themselves. The Templars are used to this, as long as they are not heinous, then they are most likely to turn a blind eye to that little trouble, compared to them, Jenn is not willing to involve the Templar Order, but chooses to solve the problem on his own.
It's just that the way he chooses to solve the problem is too drastic.
"Alright, Irene."
The old bishop stopped the girl who was almost mad by Jenn's anger, and sighed helplessly.
"Is there no other way? Mr. Jenn? I know you have a good relationship with the Pawood family, but it is not the work of a smart man to kill a descendant of a nobleman so blatantly. β
"Of course, there are no other options."
Hearing this, Jenn pondered for a moment for the old bishop's face before speaking.
"First of all, Your Lordship, you must admit that the evidence that Alexander gathered his army and launched an attack on me is conclusive. And he clearly wanted to kill me and my attendants, and even resorted to such drastic measures. It also poses a great danger to our physical and mental health. In this case, I think it would be very reasonable for us to ask for some compensation as a moral damages. β
"This .................. That's true. β
Hearing Jenn's tone loosen, the old bishop breathed a sigh of relief, he was really afraid that Jenn would insist on going his own way to find trouble with the other party. Although strictly speaking, this matter has nothing to do with him, but if Jenn makes too much trouble, then Bishop Howard, who is the head of this area, will inevitably be blamed. And if Jenn is willing to settle it peacefully, then naturally it is a good thing.
"So, Mr. Jenn, what exactly do you want?"
"It's simple."
Hearing Howard's inquiry, Jenn sneered and glanced at Alexander, who was pale.
"It was a battle between the nobility and the nobility, and the winner naturally got the qiΔ that the loser had......... Well, I don't want anything else. Just give me Warfour, see how it goes. β
ββ¦β¦β¦β¦β¦ Huh? β
Hear here. Even Howard was taken aback. He knew that Jenn would definitely open his mouth, but in Howard wanted to come. I'm afraid the other party is just asking for some manor, some property or some treasures. But I didn't expect Jenn to have such a big appetite, and he wanted the whole Warfour with one mouth.
"Mr. Jenn, you're so whimsical."
Hearing Jenn's answer, Bishop Howard shook his head repeatedly.
"Huafu is one of the largest cities in the Eagle Plateau, and it is also one of the most important territories in the hands of the Soros family, how can it be handed over because of the mistakes of a family member? You're a little too whimsical. β
"I don't care."
But in the face of Bishop Howard's words, Jenn waved his hand.
"Anyway, my words have been thrown here, if Soros does not agree to my conditions. Then I will hang Alexander in the central square of Calander, and then officially declare war on Soros as a nobleman. Exactly what to do, you should be clear. β
"You..............."
Hearing this, Howard finally sighed helplessly. Although he didn't believe that Jenn really dared to face Soros head-on, he also knew that this little guy was a very tough person, and if he was really asked to hang Alexander in the square in front of the Soros family, then the Soros family really had only one choice to fight Jen to the end.
But the problem is that the current Skar Federation will definitely not be able to withstand further turmoil.........
As for how to negotiate with the Soros family. Jenn didn't care. In the end, the old bishop chose to take on the matter, after all, he didn't want to see the two sides really tear their faces, and if Jenn did kill Alexander, then things would be much more troublesome. So he promised Jenn that he would come forward to discuss compensation with the Soros family. As for Alexander himself, he was thrown directly by Jenn to the Templar Order, who was the mastermind of the trouble. It wasn't a violation of the rules for the Templar to arrest him. Of course, Jenn wasn't at all worried that the Templar would let them goβor that he wished they were letting them go. That gives me even more reason to clean up Soros, doesn't it?
After throwing all the pots to the Templars, Jenn wasn't idle, in fact. At this moment, he was sitting leisurely in his chair, staring with satisfaction at the longsword in his hand that looked black and had no luster at all -- this was the Sword of the Shadow Moon, and Alexander didn't seem to value this sword very much, so he didn't wear it with him but threw it at his home, which made Jenn pick up a bargain.
By the way, Alexander's manor villa was also raided by Jenn "by the way".
"Is this sword really that good? Master? β
Patilina stared at the black charcoal sword in front of her with a pair of large round eyes, and her expression of disdain was obvious.
"No matter how you look at it, this thing is broken and broken, and it's useless."
"That's because it's not activated yet, Patilina."
Hearing Patilina's speech, Enoa smiled beside her and spoke. She has been following Jenn's side, and naturally she has also absorbed a lot of knowledge, so as soon as Jenn said the Sword of the Shadow Moon, Enoa immediately understood the other party's thoughts.
"The Sword of the Shadow Moon needs to call to the Black Moon on the night of the lunar eclipse, on the darkest surface, and it will be able to burst out of its power through the final baptism of darkness. The current Sword of the Shadow Moon is still asleep, in fact, the real Sword of the Shadow Moon is very beautiful. β
At this, Enoa was silent for a moment, then looked at Jenn.
"The next 'Shameless Moon' will appear in ten days, master, have you already chosen the location of the ceremony?"
"Of course."
Hearing Enoa's words, Jenn nodded.
"Where did you come from and where are you going......... I think the Shadowlands would be a good choice. β
"The Shadowlands?"
Hearing this, Enoa raised her eyebrows.
"That's a good choice, but before that, master, you seem to have one more thing to get done."
"Of course, I know very well."
As he spoke, Jenn turned his head to look out the window.
There, a paladin in golden armor can be seen. (To be continued......)
