"Is the internal strife in the Temple of Light already so serious that it actually uses the method of assassination?"
Buffon smiled bitterly. Others shouldn't know too much about the internal affairs of the Temple of Light.
But such a big thing as the Pope and the Holy Maiden's quarrel cannot be covered up, and now the battle between the two sides has become fierce, and public assassinations are already very common.
If ordinary people talk in front of him like this, Buffon will definitely show his face to the other party. But the person in front of him was not only implicated in the 'internal affairs' of their Guangming Temple, but also saved them. No matter how harsh the other party's words were, he had to listen carefully.
Caesar Nabo, who was next to him, came up and said with a smile: "Anyway, your Excellency saved us, and now he has become a thorn in the eyes of the Saintess family. Why don't you stay with us for a while?"
It turned out that this place belongs to the Pope's department, and Beta just wanted to inquire about the recent situation of the Temple of Light, so he agreed after hearing the words: "Okay, no problem, I just want to find a comfortable place to rest."
The old man chuckled when he heard the words: "There is no more comfortable place near here than the City Lord's Mansion."
Caesar Nabo came up and said with a polite smile: "I am the Lord of Keser County. It is my pleasure to invite you to my residence for a while."
Keser County is exactly the destination of Beta and others, and the two hit it off.
Old Buffon smiled and said, "It's not convenient for the two of you to ride a horse, why don't you and Cecil share a carriage?"
When Jessica heard this, she immediately became unhappy, and glared at the old man. To her, riding with the master, and then shrinking her small body into the embrace of the master, she doesn't know how comfortable it is. The old man broke her happiness as soon as he came, which is really hateful.
Beta glanced at Cecil who seemed to be looking forward to it, and politely refused immediately.
Cecil was a little disappointed. This charming socialite seemed to be happy to develop an ambiguous relationship with Beta, which was normal. Beta wants to be good-looking, good-looking, strong, and has servants. Obviously, he is also rich and powerful. This is obvious for young people, and most women will like it.
After the guards packed up the bodies of their companions, the convoy moved on. Although some companions are missing, but at the same time there are more obviously strong people like Beta, so the atmosphere of the convoy is not too dignified. There is not much sadness in the atmosphere.
When the convoy arrived at Keser County and entered the city, a team of city defenders immediately came over to guard the convoy on both sides.
Keser County is also a bustling city, or it should be said that as the largest country in the human world, any city in France is quite prosperous. Even a small city has a population of at least 200,000, while a medium-sized city , has a population of more than one million, and it is said that the kingdom of Frans has a population of more than three million.
Crossing the bustling street, Beta sat on the horse and saw two priests in white robes mixed in the crowd. After seeing the convoy, they looked a little ugly and then disappeared into the crowd.
Entering the City Lord's Mansion, two teams of maids came over immediately. One team took care of the old man Buffon, and the other team entertained Beta and the other four.
According to Caesar's hospitality procedure, Beta and the others came to the hall after washing up.
The long dining table was filled with sumptuous food. Caesar and Buffon were already waiting there, and Cecil was naturally there too... Besides her, there were several young ladies who looked like noble ladies, but were clearly celebrities. The women stayed aside, their eyes turned green when they saw Beta.
Men are feminine, and so are women.
If Beta was old and ugly, no matter how capable he was, Woking would at most value him and would not be so close to him. So, in many cases, things between men and women, talents, money and power are just the foundation, and appearance is the decisive factor.
Beta sat down, and Jessica sat beside her with a relaxed and natural expression.
Rooney was a little reserved, and Carissa kept her head down.
For the two of them, it was indeed a bit too sudden to directly talk to nobles at the level of the city lord.
Caesar is the owner here. After he made a 'please' gesture, he asked while eating: "What's your plan next? If you don't mind, can you become a magician consultant in this city? Here people, also hope to be blessed by a magician."
The so-called magician consultant is actually a magician stationed in the city, supported by a city's financial resources, helping it build magic towers, help search for magic materials, magic modeling and so on.
And magicians don't need to obey the orders of the city lord, but they need to select some talented descendants of nobles from among the nobles in the city to train them and teach them to become talents. In addition, when the city is in danger, come forward to help solve it.
This is a win-win approach. Many talented magicians are willing to do this. After all, for magicians who love research, it is a troublesome thing for them to make money. time.
It is best to have someone do it for you. Anyway, teaching students is also a kind of inspection of their own abilities and experience.
But Beta naturally wanted to refuse. First of all, he was a warlock and didn't need such things as magic towers. In fact, he was still the pope earning the lord, and his grade was not known to be much higher than the other party. Although the wealth and enjoyment of the king in the small country of Huo Lewen may not be as good as that of the lord of a medium-sized city in a big country like Chen Lansi, but in many cases, it is better for many ambitious people to be a chicken head than a phoenix tail. Common thoughts.
Seeing Beta's refusal, Caesar didn't feel much disappointed, which was within his expectation.
It was the first time he had seen such a young and powerful magician, and he must have been trained by a big family. The other party definitely looked down on the small city of Keser County.
Beta looked at Old Buffon and asked, "I have offended the Saintess now, so I would like to ask the old man, what should I pay attention to?"
Facing Beta's directness, Buffon was a little surprised, then nodded thoughtfully, and said: "Actually, the problem is not too big, our Pope's line and the rebellious saint's line are still inseparable. They can't draw their hands out to deal with other people."
Beta doesn't believe half of these words. Although this old Buffon looks friendly, his performance is something that all politicians can do. He can hear the hidden meaning of the other party. Now the Pope's faction is already at a disadvantage. If it is like him As the saying goes, if you can't draw your hand to deal with other people, then City Lord Caesar Nabo will not be implicated.
Beta seemed to be okay, and continued to ask: "So, if I want to do my part for His Majesty the Bright Pope, who is the best person to ask?"
Old Buffon showed joy on his face, but his smile soon disappeared. If it weren't for Beta's sharp eyes, he wouldn't have noticed it at all.
"Although we don't like to implicate ordinary believers, if you really want to, you can go to Echo City and talk to the city lord. I can write you a letter of introduction, and he will be very happy."
"Then I would like to thank Bishop Buffon." Beta raised his glass and drank it in one gulp, as a thank you and salute.
Old Buffon also took a sip in return, Caesar laughed and seemed extremely happy.
Afterwards, there was an intertwining of cups and cups between the host and the host. The banquet lasted until late at night. On the surface, the two parties were very harmonious, but in fact, temptations were everywhere.
Both parties are considered "actors" at the level of the old fox, and Beta did not get more information from the other party, and the old Buffon naturally did not understand Beta's identity and the forces behind him.
The next morning, after breakfast, Beta left with Rooney and others amidst the other party's urgency.
After leaving Keser County, Beta tore up the letter of introduction given to him by the old Buffon on the side of the road, and threw it into the nearby stream.
Watching the piece of paper go with the stream, Rooney asked curiously: "Master, you don't plan to meet the city lord of Echo City?"
"We need to meet, but we don't need the old man's letter of introduction, and we don't use our current identity. It's in another way." Beta smiled slightly: "The other party has no good intentions. If we take that letter of introduction If you go up, you 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." Beta sneered twice: "Even if they have internal strife in the Temple of Light, he is also their internal matter. I am not among their trusted ranks. The old pastor has even guessed that I am not a Frenchman. His letter of introduction probably contains a lot of code words. Investigate."
Rooney is still puzzled: "If this is the case, why do we have to go there?"
"It's impossible to use the current identity." Beta said with a smile: "But if we change our identity and pass with a legal identity, there will be no problem."
Three days later, Rooney finally knew why the owner said to change his identity.
Beta came to visit the Assassin Guild. Two days later, Beta became a down-and-out nobleman in Laguo City. He even had a manor. Although it was a bit dilapidated, Beta spent some more money to renovate it. .
But now Beta's name is Cook Green, and Rooney and others are his servants.
"Master, doesn't this count as cheating?" Rooney stood beside Beta, and said with a constipated face: "You are pretending to be another nobleman, what should you do if you are found out?"
"No one can find out except the Assassin's Guild." Beta smiled: "We have noble blood documents and manor certificates. All of them are my fingerprints. The country of France has a very humane rule. Blood documents, As well as the manor certificate, only the fingerprints and not the person. So now I am the legal owner of the Green family, even if someone knows something, there is no way to trouble me."
"Where are the original members of this family? If they come to report..." Rooney was a little worried.
"It turns out that everyone in this family is dead, otherwise the document would not have fallen into the hands of the Assassin's Guild. I don't know what method they used to cancel the fingerprints on the document, but their reputation is still good."
Rooney was still worried: "Then what if the former enemy of this family reported it?"
"They shouldn't be so stupid as to make enemies like this. After all, we are not the original Green family, and they don't need to target us." Beta sneered slightly: "If they are really so stupid, I don't mind Show your own strength. Whether it is money or personal strength.",
Kailisa was bringing up the freshly squeezed juice, and when she saw Beta's sneer, she suddenly became nympho, and her face turned red.
Jessica was lying on the ground resting beside her. Even though she was energetic, she was exhausted after cleaning most of the manor.
Rooney swallowed his saliva, and he asked a question that he had held back for three days: "Master, how much did you spend to buy this noble title and manor?"
"Not much, just five hundred gold."
Five hundred... Rooney almost knelt down. To him, this number was unbelievably large, but the master didn't say much, but seemed calm. No wonder the master bought a noble status so easily.
"By the way, Rooney, you and Carissa will go to the street to buy some gray hair dye and gray hair dye." Beta thought for a while, and said, "By the way, when Jessica wakes up, you can come back with her." Go, just buy some daily necessities, and food, we have to stay here for a while."
Rooney agreed in a trance, and Carissa was also in a trance.
In this way, Beta stayed in Lago County for the time being. He also found a few bards and asked them to go to the tavern to promote it. After a while, the upper nobles in the entire Lago County knew about it and disappeared. The five-year-old Green family is back.
In a certain inn, merchants and residents of well-to-do families were celebrating their glamor and were drinking in a tavern. A bard sang like this:
"The youngest son of the Green family, dragging his scarred body, found the legendary red magic tower. The wise red-robed mage walked out of the tower. They were noble and sacred. They surrounded the youngest son of the Green family and sent their blessings , and put a red magic robe on him."
"Young son's eyes are full of tears, he has become a great red robe, and now...he is back, back to Laguo who gave birth to him and raised him..."
Before the bard could finish singing his crappy ballad, a middle-aged nobleman with an angry face grabbed his shirt and dragged him up.
"Who asked you to sing the ballad?" The middle-aged noble looked at the bard coldly.
The bard replied in horror: "Your Excellency, the youngest son of the Green family asked me to sing, and he gave me five silver coins."
"He asked you to sing, you just sing?" The fat face of the middle-aged nobleman showed a clear murderous look: "Now, go and tell your colleagues, if anyone dares to sing this ballad again, he will not be able to leave Lago alive in the future county."
The bard scrambled out of the tavern.
