Lord Pender

"You're here?" Ulric turned his back to Leo and looked at a map of Pande on the dim wall. The mountains and trees on it were all extremely detailed. Obviously, the artist's methods were extremely clever.

Hearing Ulric's question, Leo was about to subconsciously answer: 'I'm here. ’

However, Ulrike turned around and said, "This time, you did a good job. Umr is the deputy commander of the Griffin Knights. Once he is captured by us, the entire Griffin Knights will be affected. All in all, it was a huge blow.

But you must have realized that although the Snake Cult and the Griffin Knights joined forces this time, the relationship is not so close. This time you only found the remnants of the Griffin Knights, but the people who worship the Snake Cult should They are still hidden in the capital, don't be careless, try to find them in the shortest time, and arrest Kerris. "

"I was about to report to you," Leo said with a smile on his lips, "I just got the news that an elder of the Ike family claimed to have some news about the snake worship, and I was about to go back for interrogation. Woolen cloth."

"Okay!" King Ulric clapped his hands subconsciously, looking particularly happy, "I'm going to the northern border soon, and I hope to see your good news when I come back!"

"Your Majesty, rest assured," Leo bowed and said, "Before your triumphant return, there will be a major breakthrough in this case, and the remnants of the Serpent Worship Cult in the capital will surely be put to death."

"Okay, Count Leo, when the case is over, this king will naturally reward you heavily," King Ulric said, and sat down on one side of the chair. The next moment, the large chair creaked. All right, you can leave."

Hearing this, Leo bowed slightly and left the palace. At this time, he was walking in the garden outside the palace. Leo looked at the lion squires who were guarding the palace. These lion squires were obviously elite, and the ninth-order accounted for most of them. Each one is particularly deep and terrifying. Different from the lion squires led by Leo before, all the helmets here are made of red feather steel light helmets. Not only is the defense strong, but more importantly, it is prestige. It is very, and it complements the momentum of the Royal Lion Palace.

A few figures in important positions not far away are impressively 11th-rank lion knights, with cloaks and imposing breastplates and heavy armor on their bodies, and they are not wearing the kind of giant lion knights that ordinary lion knights wear. The helmet, but the helmet in the lion pattern, is obviously also a customized version of the palace.

When Leo looked at such a majestic guard, he secretly thought - greedy!

Not to mention anything else, if only such a group of guards guarding the palace were pulled out, I'm afraid it would be enough to easily pacify a small duchy.

He has to work harder, Leo said to himself, as if he suddenly realized something, and it has been a little bit floating for a while, holding two sharp swords, the wind patrol and the lion knight, few people in the entire king will know Going against him made Leo feel a little bit fluttering, and seeing the strict guards of the palace at this time also made Leo alert.

Everything he has now is based on the two great gifts of King Ulric, and obviously, neither the wind patrol nor the lion knight can be in the hands of a real nobleman forever. When King Ulric took everything back, he was still just a field baron named an earl.

At that time, how will he deal with himself?

For a while, Leo thought about it a lot, and his gaze changed from initial dazedness to today's firmness. It is still fundamental to develop his own territory, especially if he needs a strong force as a backing. The strength in his hand is strong enough, even if he doesn't have the two trump cards he has now, he doesn't have to worry too much.

Leo thought about it, the confusion in his eyes gradually subsided and turned into a faint firmness. What is the fastest way to enrich his strength now?

Magic crystal!

After a chuckle, Leo returned to the Wind Patrol Headquarters with Uncle Vint, who was waiting far away from the palace, with a faint expectation. At this time, many Pacers were not surprised by Uncle Vint. , they all know that this person is the person most trusted by their own Patrol Envoy.

Of course, Leo also had no intention of paying attention to the strangeness of many of his subordinates, and went straight to find Bella. After all, what are the fastest ways to get wealth right now? Undoubtedly, the family of a certain marquis whose home was raided is naturally the best answer!

"Sir, are you back? How are you, they didn't embarrass you at the meeting, right?" Bella at this time saw Leo Shang's good expression, she breathed a sigh of relief and asked with a smile.

"Fortunately," Leo replied with a smile, "a few nobles expressed concern about this, but they did not intend to stand up for the Marquis of Ike. Everyone knows that the Marquis of Ike has an unclear relationship with the Griffin Knights. Collusion, just pay attention.

No one intends to forcibly stand up for the Marquis of Aike. The focus of this meeting is on King Ulric's expedition. In order to deal with the threat shown by Raven Realm this time, King Ulric intends to go out in person and teach him a lesson. Look at the Duke of Aldma. "

"Your Majesty is going to the expedition in person?" Bella and Brown were all a little surprised, and they did not expect that the change in the northern border would alarm King Ulric to go out in person, which was really beyond their expectations.

"By the way, my lord, there are a few more pieces of news about the fiefs of the Ike family. This morning, all the medium-sized cities in the fiefs of the Ike family have been raided. The castle of the Ke family, Castle Eck, was due to leaks during the mobilization of the army. When the army arrived, the entire castle was already empty.

Among them were Ulan Aike, the second son of Marquis Aike, and some important members of the Aike family. Most of the castle savings of the Aike family were also taken away, and the gains were not great. Bella said simply, "Looking at the direction, it should be going north to cross the Ice Rain River and go to the Ravenland Kingdom."

Maybe they could just collide with the Duke of Aldma, but now that the Duke of Aldma is gathering troops in the north, our army does not dare to approach without authorization, and only arranged to let the foundation of the Ike family escape. "

"Normal," Leo didn't look surprised. "The Ike family has been operating near Eckburg for many years. The incident happened suddenly, and we can't block too much news. The Ike family is also the upper-class noble family of the kingdom. Why? It might be that easy to destroy.

But after all, their vitality was severely damaged, and their influence in the kingdom completely disappeared. For the Ravenland Kingdom, they are a newly defected noble, I am afraid that it is difficult to get attention. Let's not talk about this, Marquis Ike's mansion will be inspected. how is it? "

"My lord, although the mansion of Marquis Ike is just a part of his family in the capital, it still gains a lot." Bella said with a faint smile on her face, which is not a problem for Leo. Surprised, after all, this is the capital, the power center and economic center of the Lion Realm. If you want to make waves here, you can't do it without capital. "Sir, please come with me."

As Bella walked to the treasury, no, to be precise, it should be in the small courtyard outside the treasury. It was engraved with the words "Ike Family" written on a small sheepskin note on one side. There is no doubt that this was the confiscated result of the Ike family.

"My lord, these have not been put into the warehouse yet, so please make a decision." Bella and Brown's mouths smirked slightly, and Leo showed a tacit smile, what do you mean?

If it is not in the warehouse, it is naturally not on the registration. The Ike family is an ancient family, the upper-class nobles of the kingdom, how terrifying their wealth is, even if it is just a mansion in the royal capital, it is a number that cannot be underestimated.

"The money confiscated from the Ike family is amazing. There are 365,421 dinars and 2,584 gold coins, with a total value of 623,000. Eight hundred and twenty-one dinars." Bella first revealed an astonishing number, which made Leo's heart tremble slightly.

Good fortune, this is just the cash of the Ike family in the capital. There are more than 600,000 dinars. This is too exaggerated. In this way, UU Reading www.uukanshu.com The entire Ike How exaggerated is the family's wealth?

But looking at Bella and Brown's expressions, although they were stunned, they didn't have such an unbelievable expression. After all, they were the powerful marquis family of the kingdom.

"In addition, there are two shops in the city center, one large oil refinery, and two large mansions, with a total value of about 160,000 dinars." Bella looked at the parchment scroll in her hand and said again, "In addition, there are all kinds of rare treasures. There are 84 pieces of exotic treasures, and according to the rough estimate of the treasurer, the value is about 100,000 dinars."

Bella said in one breath, the harvest of this trip is really a lot, nearly 900,000 dinars, the huge Ike family, even if it is only the palace of the royal capital, has such amazing financial resources, as expected The Marquis of Kingdom Strength.

"Lord, what do you think?" Brown on the side obviously said expectantly.

"According to the previous patrollers, what would be the general arrangement?" Leo asked with a slight frown.

"This..." Hearing this, Brown and Bella looked at each other subconsciously, looking a little surprised, but also slightly surprised. They didn't know what the new cruiser meant? Could it be the king's spies, after all, they don't know Leo very well.

"Don't worry, I don't want to break everyone's rules," Leo said with a smile when he saw this situation. In the future, he will rely more on these wind patrollers, and he will not always be the wind patroller, so naturally he will not take the initiative. Rigid everyone's rules.

As for being an upright and honest patrolman? I'm sorry, this does not exist for Leo, the evil aristocrat who has become a human being and exploited the vast majority of Pandor civilians in this life. Although he has such an idea on the surface, but... it conflicts with his long-term plan too much. Big, he had to cross out this option with tears (smile).
