Talents that can be entrusted with important tasks by Romon Gelten must be relatively outstanding. However, precisely because of his excellence, he guessed Lei's true strength.
So of course he was frightened.
Gerten Territory is a sub-county territory, adjacent to the wilderness, where many adventurers come and go. But this is neither a place with convenient transportation nor prey with high economic returns. The level of adventurers who will act here is generally between rookies and veterans. Intermediate level ones such as Satan are considered first-class elites. Generally, only the team leader or a well-known master can achieve this level.
As Romon's cronies, those two were also very capable generals under him. They were only the most powerful among the intermediate adventurers, and had not even touched the threshold of high-level adventurers.
The most powerful master known in the entire Gelten Territory is Leon Gervase, the bishop of the Church of the God of Knights and Pioneering God. That was a person favored by God, and it was said that he had touched the threshold of the legendary realm. Ever since he was persuaded by the first Viscount Gerten two hundred years ago, he brought his companions here to establish a church. Two hundred years have passed in the blink of an eye, and he has become the anchor of the entire Viscount Gerten, and his authority is even higher than that of the Viscount. If he hadn't made it clear that he would not participate or get involved in this inheritance battle, Romon would never have made the move to the Gerten Territory.
Playing scheming with a strong man who has lived for two hundred years and is about to cross the limit of mortal life, and seeks to seize the property left by his old friend. This kind of courting death is definitely not smart for anyone who is still in a normal mental state. People will make it.
And now, Steele, who was supposed to have been killed by her lovers and abandoned in the wilderness, has not only come back, but has also brought back a strong man who is suspected to be close to the legendary realm? !
This... this... this is simply...
The person in charge of surveillance turned around in his mind several times and couldn't think of a suitable word.
If Sui Xiong were here, he would definitely complete this sentence for him - isn't this the famous saying on the Internet: "It's so stupid"!
"Lei, it seems that someone is afraid of you." He was so frightened that Sui Xiong sensed him from a distance and pointed out the direction to Lei, "What on earth did you do? That person almost peed his pants. .”
"What else can I do? Apart from murder, arson, and robbery, I have almost never done anything decent in these years. Maybe this is because I met the victim thousands of miles away, or maybe I didn't do a good enough job when I wiped out the Iron Sand Chamber of Commerce and escaped. The lucky one."
"Can you stop talking about killing other people's whole families all the time? It makes me uncomfortable."
"... Who killed the whole family! I have never killed the old, weak, women and children in my life, okay! I entered through the gate of their chamber of commerce and killed them all inside and out - there were only businessmen and thugs there, so where did that come from? What kind of 'boy' are you doing?" Lei couldn't help but cry out for the crime that Sui Xiong had made up for him, "The smugglers' guild is a group of people who lick blood or kill without blood, who would bring their own kid into the guild!"
Sui Xiong laughed awkwardly and recalled it carefully. It seemed that Lei had never said anything about killing other people's entire family. He just subconsciously made up a scenario of "killing the whole family" - in this way, he was still unjustly accused. Him
"It seems that you are not hopelessly bad!" He couldn't help but sigh.
"Nonsense! I am so disgusted in the gangster circle that I can only be a lone robber. Isn't this hopelessly bad?" Lei wanted to hold back his complaints, but in the end he still couldn't. , "Your Majesty the Jellyfish God, please don't use the morality of jellyfish to judge whether humans are good or not! Even using magic is more reliable!"
"The moral foundation of the spell that detects the camp is based on... I don't really agree with it." Sui Xiong said, "Law and chaos are just that. The distinction between good and evil, as far as I am concerned, is worthy of discussion. .”
"I won't get involved in such a high-end issue. You can discuss it with any god you want."
"I think you are knowledgeable, thoughtful, and sophisticated. You are very suitable for discussing such in-depth issues..."
"No! I'm not suitable at all! The damn questions you ask these days are driving me crazy. Unless you want a madman to accompany you on your trip, don't discuss these issues with me!" Lei immediately He shook his head quickly in his mind and strongly expressed his rejection, "Personally, even if you discuss with me 'close the city gate now, start killing from here, how many people need to be killed to seize this viscounty'..." As long as we don’t discuss those issues, anything is fine!”
Sui Xiong sighed helplessly, regretting that he had lost a good communication partner.
While they were talking, the two horses had already passed through the city gate and walked towards the Viscount's mansion without any pause.
"The residence of Viscount Gelten was built two hundred years ago. However, after renovation and expansion over the years, only the gate and the inheritance court used to hold important family meetings are still the original ones. The rest were built successively later. ." Steele is very familiar with this place and can introduce its history to Lei wherever she goes.
Unknowingly, the erotic aura on her body slowly subsided, and she gradually revealed her deep feelings for this city and this mansion. It's like a bad boy who didn't learn well outside and returned to his hometown after many years of trouble. Although his character has changed, bits and pieces of memories from his youth come to mind, and he can't help but vaguely return to his innocent and kind childhood.
"This woman is not irredeemable..." As a god, Sui Xiong could clearly feel the change in Steele's heart and couldn't help but laugh.
Lei sneered and interrupted Steele: "Ms. Steele, I saw that the store I passed by just now seems to have been newly renovated. It seems that the situation in Gerten is quite stable."
Steele was stunned for a moment and woke up from her memories. She turned around and looked at the store. After thinking for a while, she said: "That store..." After thinking for a while, she still shook her head and said, "I don't have much memory..."
"Then let's go find someone and ask, how about it?" Although Lei said "how", he jumped off the horse without waiting for Steele to agree, grabbed a passing adventurer, and asked what happened.
"About a month ago, the shopkeeper went out to buy goods and was rushed by someone on horseback. The horse was frightened and the cart overturned. All the goods in the cart were confiscated." The adventurer knew the specific situation and told him everything. , "He hanged himself on the roadside before he came back, and his wife and children also committed suicide. Then a relative of a nobleman bought the store, renovated it to remove the bad luck, and recently opened it again."
Lei remained calm and continued to ask: "How much did it cost to buy this store? The location is so good, it must be expensive, right?"
"It's not expensive. Isn't this store in debt? The current boss took over the debt and paid off the store without paying a single coin. Otherwise, why would the owner's wife and child be dead?" The adventurer laughed. He smiled and shook his head, "So it's better to be a noble!"
"What happened to those debts?" Lei continued to ask, with the attitude of "breaking the casserole and asking the truth".
"It was originally a debt caused by poor circulation. The goods were confiscated, so there was no money, so we owed a debt. When the goods are returned, the debt will of course be solved." The adventurer sighed, "This My friend, please don’t make fun of me! This kind of thing happens everywhere, is it rare?”
After saying that, he shook his head, sighed, and walked away.
Lei smiled and asked casually as if he didn't care: "A merchant's goods can be confiscated if they fall on the ground. This law has been abolished in many places in the Gold Coin Federation. Unexpectedly, it is still maintained here - it seems that your tax revenue is also It’s quite difficult!”
"Of course, our place is small and all kinds of tax sources are insufficient. If we don't think of more ways to subsidize subsidies, it will be difficult to maintain dignity!" Steele also seemed a little emotional, and said with a wry smile, "In order to maintain To be decent, we really need to think of a lot of ways. Alas! These troublesome things are really not what nobles should do! I really hope that the federation can greatly reduce those laws that are not conducive to tax collection!"
During the telepathic communication, Lei sneered and asked: "Your Majesty the Jellyfish God, do you still think this woman is not irredeemable?"
Sui Xiong was silent for a while and sighed: "I suddenly feel that your proposal just now is valuable and worth a try."
"What proposal?"
"Block the city gate, fight directly in, and take over this territory."
Rei was stuck: "Hey! This is a joke! I am still wanted by the Cruel Hunter Church. You don't want me to be wanted by the Cruel Hunter Church... No, several wanted by me! And this is not at all It's possible! Even if you take action yourself, you will kill everyone in this city, and there is no way to occupy this territory! I am not from the Gerten family... "
"Didn't you say that a trivial matter like bloodline is just a magic ritual worth twenty to thirty thousand gold coins."
"But why should I change the bloodline of this bullshit country viscount! No matter how you say it, I am dignified -" Lei suddenly realized something and hurriedly stopped, making Sui Xiong very dissatisfied.
This guy is so alert. Even if he said one more word just now, he would be able to understand the origin of this guy!
Sighing helplessly, Sui Xiong changed the topic back: "This woman is indeed hopeless... Maybe we should find someone younger and simpler. After all, it's easy to write on a blank piece of paper."
"No matter how innocent you are, you will be corrupted by the luxurious life of the nobles." Lei has no confidence in the nobles at all.
"Then find someone with a simple personality and indifferent desires."
"How can there be such a person among the nobles!"
"Look for it among the non-nobles. It's just a ceremony of twenty to thirty thousand gold coins."
"...This time I have to admit that what you said makes sense..."
So the matter was settled. After settling down in the viscount's mansion, Lei showed his face a little, supported Steele, and then walked leisurely in Gerten City.
As for the reason, he didn't bother to say it. No one here could stop him anyway - to be precise, no one would stop him anyway.
Geerten City is not big, and it only takes a short time for one person to complete the tour. As luck would have it, they found a young, indifferent person with some talent.
Orian Gerten, a branch of the Gerten family and the administrator of the library in Gerten City.
A little girl who is only fifteen years old.
