Banner of the Evil God

After the ability assessment was completed, Viscount Eric asked some common questions, such as life ideals, attitude towards life, how he views the Eagle Kingdom and the orcs... and so on. Leon responded one by one, there was nothing shocking, but it was quite satisfactory.

After some exchanges, Viscount Eric finally gave him a centurion's token and appointed him as the commander of the next batch of frontline scout troops. He would set off after gathering the manpower. After arriving at the front line, he would be directly subordinate to the commander of the scout battalion. Under the Earl of Burton.

Earl Burton's name is Dean Burton. He is one of several legendary strong men in the Eagle Kingdom. He was a student of the old king back then. He has a good relationship with Leon's father and uncles, and he is also very close to Leon himself. Familiar. When Woods rebelled, he was in a dilemma, so he had to go to the Orc Empire to duel with the legendary strongman, and he was out of sight and out of mind.

Since then, he has lived in seclusion and never seen visitors. If it weren't for the orc army coming fiercely this time, even King Woods wouldn't be able to see him, let alone ask him to come out.

Being directly under the command of Earl Burton is the highest treatment that Viscount Eric can give. For a top thief who wants to stand out, this treatment is undoubtedly very sincere.

Leon expressed his gratitude gracefully, accepted the token, left the magic mark as required, and left the military camp temporarily. He expressed that he had come to Eagle Wing City for the first time in his life and wanted to visit it.

Of course, Viscount Eric would not object. According to estimates, it would take at least three to five days for this group of scouts to be recruited. Until then, Leon would be free.

After Leon left, Viscount Eric praised him again, praising him to the best of his ability. If someone with a thin skin were here, he would probably blush.

His secretary asked curiously: "High-level thieves are not particularly rare. Although this person is a marksman, he is not worthy of your praise, right?"

"You don't understand!" Viscount Eric was in a good mood and said with a smile, "I have always been in charge of intelligence work. Can I not know who are the famous masters in the four northwest towns? Let me tell you, at least in the past intelligence Among them, there is no young master thief named Li En in the four northwest towns, and even the few known high-level thieves are not comparable to him. "

"What?!" The clerk was stunned and asked worriedly, "Then could he be a spy?"

"Don't worry, let alone a high-level thief. Even a person who has entered the legendary realm will have a hard time deceiving my legendary lie detector crystal. If he is really a spy, he must be at least a high-level legendary or even a peak legendary figure." Do you believe that such a person would come to be a spy? Not to mention, the most powerful thief in the Orc Empire is nothing but the legendary mid-level 'assassin' Altaïr. Even if that person comes in person, he may not be able to deceive him. Pass this crystal!”

"So...if he's not a spy, why didn't he have any reputation before?"

Viscount Eric smiled and said: "This is the crux of the problem! From what I see, he should be a secretly cultivated talent by the Rye Town Thieves Guild. As we all know, the most powerful one in the four northwest towns is definitely the Void Mask The field can be said to be full of masters. There are almost two legendary powerhouses. There are even two true gods sitting there. In the entire main plane, only the Dragon Clan's Dragon Cliff can match it. The first one is Longhou Town. Although I haven't heard of any legendary powerhouses, there have been a lot of high-level adventurers in recent years. The remaining three towns are far behind, and there are even no worthy characters. As a hub connecting the northwest and western regions, Rye Town has a strategic location and has been the leader of the four towns in the past. Faced with its status gradually disappearing from the rest, they certainly want to make a difference. "

"Then...this Lien is one of the talents they have painstakingly cultivated. But why did he come to join the army to resist the orcs? With his status, he will probably take over the position of president of the Thieves Guild in Rye Town in the future... …”

"President of the Rye Town Thieves Guild?" Viscount Eric laughed loudly, "What a shitty 'position'! This guy has the ability and vision, and his future is limitless! He will most likely soar into the sky and become a legendary strongman in the future. Where is it!”

"What?!" The secretary was surprised - young high-level experts are not very rare in this world, but most people reach this point and are unable to push away the path leading to the legendary realm. door, but unexpectedly Viscount Eric spoke so highly of this Lien!

"Not only that, it is absolutely impossible for a person like him to simply act based on his own will. His ability to join the army means that at least the major forces in Rye Town support us. When the critical moment comes, They might even send an army to support them," Viscount Eric said with a smile. "Although the army in Rye Town is not large in number, its quality is terrifyingly high. Each soldier has at least as much power as a mid-level adventurer. There are many powerful people, even high-level ones. If we can have their help, it will be a great help to our battle!"

They talked for a while, until the next applicant came, and then they changed the subject.

At this time, Leon had already walked far away and arrived at a remote mansion in the city.

This is the residence of Viscount Tariq. The old Viscount Tariq, Mr. Reding, was a famous sage in the Eagle Kingdom and one of Leon's teachers. Later, the old Viscount passed away, and Viscount Raisen Tariq, who inherited the title, had a bad relationship with the late king since childhood, and the two parties became estranged. Later, when Woods rebelled, Viscount Leisen probably was not implicated or purged. But with that stubborn guy's temper, it was estimated that he was unlikely to work for the usurper. He might have been idle at home and became a hermit.

Leon had wanted to recommend this viscount to Sui Xiong back then, or at least recommend a descendant of the Tarik family. As a famous family of scholars, this family must have talents who are good at government affairs and can be put to great use.

However, time changed and the plan was never implemented. Sui Xiong also never recruited members of the Tariq family, so the matter has been delayed.

In the blink of an eye, almost twenty years have passed. In addition to the first fifteen years and more than thirty years, I don’t know how the Tariq family is now?

At least judging from the mansion, I’m afraid it’s not that good…

Leon tidied up his appearance a little, then went to the small window next to the door, gently tapped the metal window edge with the small hammer hanging next to the small window, and proposed a visit according to etiquette.

The concierge was an old man in his late fifties, but he was still in good spirits. After asking for a while, he agreed to summon Leon.

Soon after, Leon met the butler of the Tariq family, Mr. Nick.

Old Mr. Nick is over eighty years old this year. He has served as the housekeeper of the Tarik family since his grandfather, and he can be regarded as the confidant of the Tarik family. And their family is a magician passed down from generation to generation. Leon remembers that his father was even a high-level magician, and he himself participated in many battles with the old king and was quite famous.

"Mr. Lean, what's the purpose of your visit?" Old Mr. Nick is older, but he is still in good spirits. His eyes are bright under his white eyebrows, and he exudes a vague pressure. Leon knew that this was the result of the natural overflow of powerful magic.

He spoke very directly, without any of the roundabout ways of ordinary nobles. Combined with the powerful magic power, he was indeed full of intimidation and persuasion.

Leon smiled, his breath flowing, and a figure walked out of him, exactly what he looked like when he was fifteen years old.

"Hello, Uncle Nick." Leon Igor, who appeared using projection technology, greeted old Mr. Nick with a smile. "Seeing that you are still so energetic, I have the illusion that nothing has changed." Woolen cloth."

Old Mr. Nick frowned, hesitated, and finally smiled.

"Being able to use Dou Qi to cast the projection technique is at least a legendary mid-level strength. Your Highness Leon, you have grown a lot in these years!"

"It's not about growth. With my talent, I should have such strength." Young Leon replied with a smile, his face full of the confidence and exuberance of a young boy.

He changed the subject and asked: "Uncle Nick, I have been thinking about it all these years, but I can't figure it out why he rebelled back then? Do you know?"

Old Nick was silent for a while and shook his head: "No one understands what Woods is thinking. But I have a guess. Do you want to hear it?"

"Of course I do. You are my senior brother. Compared to my junior brother who has not received much guidance from Teacher Ruiding, you are the teacher's most proud disciple."

Old Nick smiled and said: "I suspect that he has the support of the Noble Lady Church, and there may even be someone behind it..."

He didn't say any more and just pointed to the sky.

Leon frowned and remained silent.

Of course he understood who Old Nick was talking about. It was just the throne of a mere kingdom in the human world. Would it really involve that high and mighty man?

"Did you hear anything?" After a while, he asked again.

"There are some... You know about the Noble Lady Church annexing and establishing the Knight Church, right? The first large-scale conflict between the two sides intensified was in our Eagle Kingdom."

"But it's not in uncle's territory."

"Yes, but I have evidence that during the time when the conflict broke out, several of his most powerful people happened to be operating there."

Leon was silent for a long time and then asked: "Is there any other evidence?"

"No, there is not much evidence for this kind of thing." Old Nick said with a smile, "But since you are already so strong, wouldn't it be better to find a chance to ask him yourself? With your current ability , you can do it straightforwardly, there is no need to care too much. ”

Leon nodded and smiled.

"You are right, I will find an opportunity to 'question' him!"
