The temple knight said: "Yes, Lord Bishop, the Slow family has a monopoly on all rice supplies in the east!"
Bishop Bowman said: "The Sluo family is powerful and is the largest family in the eastern region. His family even has a genius magician. It is said that he became a magister in his thirties. Now the divine bean of the orc country has entered The market is bound to have some impact on his family’s rice business.”
At this point, his voice changed: "However, Earl Sluo is extremely rich, and they have many ways to make money. The amount of divine beans now is actually not that large, and it may not attract the attention of the Sluo family. You can go there in person." , tell the old earl of the Slow family our investigation results. The old earl has always been interested in the orc country in the east. In the expedition decades ago, the old earl armed an army of five thousand people to participate!"
The temple knight said: "Yes, sir!"
The system of the Xiling Kingdom is very similar to the Western Middle Ages before Lin Yan traveled through it.
Noble territories, large and small, are spread throughout the Xiling Kingdom.
Of course, the royal family is the largest aristocracy and occupies the most land.
In fact, the church occupies a lot of land, which is comparable to that of the royal family.
The royal family and the church together occupy nearly half of the land in the Xiling Kingdom, and the rest is divided up by nobles of all sizes.
Of course, the common people received land from these nobles to cultivate, and then paid a certain tax.
By the way, magicians and knights are actually considered aristocrats. As long as they register, they can receive a certain amount of land.
The existence of the church prevented the nobles from charging too high a tax, nor did they dare to charge too low a tax, because the church must be the lowest, and the general tax collected by the nobles was only a quarter.
On church land, civilians can also receive land with lower taxes. The tax on church land is generally one-fifth to one-sixth.
The royal land tax is similar to that of the church. In addition, the nobles have to pay a certain amount of money to the royal family every year!
There are big nobles on top of small nobles, and there are big nobles on top of big nobles. This is the composition of the Xiling Kingdom!
In case of war, small-scale, royal and church armies can solve it.
If it is a large-scale war, conscription will begin from the territories of small nobles.
They were recruited layer by layer, and the nobles were responsible for arming these soldiers.
Even in normal times, the nobles only retain a large number of private soldiers, as long as you can afford them!
The Sluo family is the largest noble in the eastern region, and the family has more than 5,000 private soldiers.
If it is a time of war, the Slow family can arm an army of more than 10,000 people from their vast territory.
Armed here naturally means fully armed.
The armor, weapons, boots, and salary required of a warrior are not small amounts, and they all need to be supported by bright gold coins.
The Sluo family can support such a large army, and their wealth is already quite terrifying.
If they were not fully armed, but simply armed, the number of troops that the Sluo family could recruit would be even greater!
In the huge castle of the Slow family, there is a particularly beautifully decorated hall.
"A letter from Bishop Bowman?"
A steward in fine clothes took the letter from the temple knight, then brought it to an old man sitting in front of the fireplace to warm himself, and read it quietly.
The butler took nearly half an hour to read the long letter.
This old man is the old earl of the Sluo family.
After hearing this, the old count asked in an old voice: "Send someone to verify and let the temple knight go back!"
The steward said: "Yes!"
About two days later, a large amount of information was collected from the old count.
In front of the fireplace burning with magic flames, the old earl was playing with a gold coin from the Kingdom of Fire in his hand, listening to the butler's report with serious eyes.
Next to the old count, there was a man. This man was wearing a magician's robe. He looked to be in his twenties, but his actual age was already in his thirties.
He is the most outstanding magician of the Sluo family, the young magister!
For a magister, being in his thirties is indeed considered young.
The number of magisters is not large in the Xiling Kingdom, and will not exceed thirty. Nearly half of the magisters belong to the royal family and the church!
"This country of fire probably has a big background."
After listening to the report, the old earl looked at the flame pattern on the gold coin and finally spoke.
The magician next to him said:
"Uncle, their gold coins contain natural magic protection. What's even more amazing is that these magic protections can be well combined. That is to say, the more gold coins you carry, the better the magic protection you can achieve. If Someone can stand in a whole cart of gold coins, and I am afraid that the magic of a fifth-level magician can be well prevented. If the number of gold coins is more..."
"Can I even defend against your magic?"
The old count said.
The magician said: "If the number is large enough, it may not be impossible, but it can only be defended once, but it is still amazing. The most amazing thing is this combination of magic protection, which is simply unheard of!"
The old earl said: "Oliver, you don't believe in gods yet, do you?"
The wizard named Oliver said: "Yes, uncle."
The old count said: "You have traveled to many countries. Have you ever seen gold coins like this in other kingdoms? And this kind of magic bean?"
Oliver shook his head: "No."
The old earl stood up and looked shocked: "This is the key. The god of the Kingdom of Flame is probably a new god with subversive power. If the Kingdom of Flame is allowed to develop, the Xiling Kingdom will be in danger!"
"Oliver, send people to surround Sir Hawke's territory. If Sir Hawke wants to talk about the law, then tell him that he has violated the unfair competition law. I will force the people behind the Kingdom of Fire to come out and take a look at them. What a holy place!"
Oliver hesitated for a moment and said: "Uncle, I heard that a forbidden magician appeared in the Misty Mountains. If the Kingdom of Fire becomes strong, it will threaten the entire Kingdom of Xiling. Why should we take the initiative to take the lead? I'm afraid that Bishop Bowman's purpose is not the same. simple."
The old earl laughed: "Oliver, you are still too young. Bishop Bowman really wants to use us as swordsmen, but this time, we have to be used by him. Our family is too powerful. In the entire eastern region, we Our family occupies one-third of the land. If the Kingdom of Flame comes over one day, our family will be the first to suffer."
Having said this, the old earl stared at Oliver closely. Although he was obviously not a magister, Oliver's scalp felt numb.
The old earl spoke: "Believe it or not, if the Kingdom of Fire comes, before our family's army is defeated and all our wealth is burned, no big noble will come to our aid, not even the royal army will move! "
Chapter 0142 The seventh-order Mengying and the sixth-order Qingling! Rectify the army!
In a demonic abyss deep underground, Lin Yan showed a happy expression.
"The abyssal aura of this Demonic Abyss is almost analyzed."
Lin Yan muttered to himself.
There are a total of eighteen magic abyss on the continent of gods.
The abyss aura revealed by each demonic abyss is actually different.
This means that these demonic abyss correspond to different abyss areas.
What Lin Yan is doing now is to collect these abyss breaths with virtual godhead and then analyze them.
After completely analyzing the abyss aura revealed by the eighteen demonic abyss, Lin Yan can conduct an in-depth simulation through the virtual godhead.
With the help of the contract with the succubus Natasha, Lin Yan might be able to find a way to enter the abyss, and then he can freely enter and exit the abyss!
This is the bug of virtual godhead. In some aspects, it is more powerful than real godhead.
As long as Lin Yan has enough faith power to consume the virtual godhead, the virtual godhead can continue to calculate and analyze.
"Go to the next devil's abyss!"
Lin Yan began to move towards another devil's abyss.
While on the road, Lin Yan listened to the prayers of the saints through the virtual godhead.
The virtual godhead naturally has a storage function, and you can hear the previous prayers of the saints and even all the previous prayers of the believers.
Its storage capacity is huge!
"After potatoes sell well in the Xiling Kingdom, they should attract covetous attention, right? The Xiling Kingdom is not weak, and the strength of Mengying and Qingling needs to be improved."
Lin Yan thought.
The Saint is much closer to him.
After her faith reached a certain level, the saint would not pray. There was always a line of faith between the saint and Lin Yan.
But this thread of faith is tenuous.
But as long as he consumes some power of faith, Lin Yan can also see Mengying's state.
Mengying and Qingling were both practicing magic at this time.
The two of them have made such rapid progress. It is true that Lin Yan blessed them, but it also has a lot to do with their hard work.
If they didn't work hard, it would be great if they could achieve half of the results they have now.
After all, blessing does not directly instill energy, but is equivalent to improving their magic talents and greatly improving their magic sensitivity in a short period of time. They need to spend more time practicing magic during this period.
In fact, blessings should not be given too frequently.
It is the behavior of the Demon God of the Abyss to overthrow a young talent and encourage it to grow. There are many hidden dangers.
Even if it is a virtual godhead, the effect of frequent blessings will continue to decay and have negative effects.
Therefore, Lin Yan would only consume his divine power to bless the saints after a period of time.
The effect of blessing with the power of faith is not as good as using divine power.
It is better to use high-level divine power than to use divine power.
