Noble Emblem

"Is the internal fighting in the Temple of Light already so serious? It actually resorts to assassination."

Buffon had a wry smile on his face. He shouldn't let others know too much about the internal affairs of the Temple of Light. After all, he should just keep his scandals under the covers.

But such a major antagonism between the pope and the saint cannot be concealed. Moreover, the battle between the two sides has become intense now, and open assassinations are already very common.

If an ordinary person spoke like this in front of him, Buffon would definitely show off his face to the other person. But the man in front of him was not only implicated in the 'internal affairs' of their Temple of Light, but he also saved them. No matter how harsh the other person's words were, he had to listen carefully.

Caesar Nabo, who was next to him, walked up and said with a smile: "Anyway, Your Excellency saved us and now he has become a thorn in the side of the saints. Why don't you stay with us for the time being?"

It turns out that this place is from the Pope's department. Beta happened to want to inquire about the recent situation in the Temple of Light. Hearing this, he agreed: "Okay, no problem. I just want to find a comfortable place to rest."

The old man laughed when he heard this: "There is no more comfortable place around here than the City Lord's Mansion."

Caesar Nabo walked up and smiled politely: "I am the city lord of Kese County. I am very happy to invite you to my residence for a while."

Kese County was the destination of Beta and others, and the two parties hit it off.

Old Buffon smiled and said: "It's not convenient for you two to ride on horses. How about you and Cecil ride in the same carriage?"

When Jessica heard this, she immediately became unhappy and glared at the old man. For her, it was a shame to ride with her master and then shrink into her master's arms with her small body. She didn't know how comfortable it was to have this old man break her happiness as soon as he came.

Beta looked at Cecil who seemed to be looking forward to it, and immediately declined politely.

Cecil was a little disappointed. This charming socialite seemed to be happy to develop an ambiguous relationship with Beta. This was normal. Beta needs to be good-looking, strong and powerful, with servants, and obviously rich and powerful. Most women will like this if she is obviously young.

After the guards collected the bodies of their companions, the convoy continued moving forward. Although there are fewer companions, there are also more people in Beta's team who are obviously good, so the atmosphere in the convoy is not too solemn. The mercenaries and the light priests are both groups who take the life and death of their companions lightly, so There isn't much sadness.

The convoy arrived at Kese County and entered the city. Immediately a group of city defenders came over and guarded both sides of the convoy.

Kese County is also a prosperous city, or it should be said that as the largest country in the human world, any city in France is quite prosperous. Even small cities have at least a population of more than 200,000, and medium-sized cities , has a population of more than one million, and it is said that the kingdom of France has a population of more than three million.

Passing through the busy street, Beta sat on the horse and saw two priests in white robes mixed in the crowd. After seeing the convoy, their faces became a little ugly, and then disappeared into the crowd.

Entering the city lord's palace, 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 people.

Following Caesar's hospitality procedure, Beta and others came to the hall after washing up.

The long dining table was filled with sumptuous food. Caesar and Buffon were already waiting there. Naturally, Cecil was also there... In addition to her, there were several other ladies who looked like noble ladies, but were obviously ladies. The young women stayed aside, and their eyes turned green when they saw Beta.

Men are fond of women, and so are women.

If Beta was old and ugly, no matter how capable he was, Waking would at most value him and not be so close to him. Therefore, many times, things between men and women, such as talents, money and power, are just the basis, and appearance is the decisive factor.

Beta sat down, and Jessica sat next to her, looking relaxed and natural.

Rooney was a little reserved, while Carissa kept her head down.

For the two of them, it was indeed a bit too sudden to directly talk to a noble at the level of the city lord.

Nishizawa is the owner here. After making a 'please' gesture, he asked while eating: "What are your plans next? If you don't mind, can you become the magician consultant of this city? Here People also hope to be blessed by a magician."

The so-called magician consultant is actually a magician based in the city, who is supported by a city's financial resources and helps build magic towers, search for magic materials, magic modeling, etc.

Magicians do not have to obey the city lord's orders, but they need to select some talented noble descendants from the city's nobles for training and teach them to become talents. In addition, when the city is in danger, come forward to help solve the problem.

This is a win-win approach. Many talented magicians are willing to do this. After all, for magicians who love research, it is troublesome for them to make money. It is not that they cannot make money, but it is a waste of their time. time.

It would be best to have someone do it for you. Anyway, teaching students is also a test of their own abilities and experience.

But Beta naturally had to refuse. First of all, he was a warlock and did not need a magic tower. In fact, he was still a pope and a lord, and his rank was much higher than the other party. Although the wealth and enjoyment of the king in the small country of Hollevin may not be as good as those of the lords of medium-sized cities in a large country like Chenlans, in many cases, many ambitious people would rather have the head of a chicken than the tail of a phoenix. Common thoughts.

Seeing Beta's refusal, Caesar was not very disappointed. This was what he expected.

This was the first time he had seen such a young and powerful magician. He must have been trained by a big family. He must have looked down upon the small city of Kese County.

Beta looked at old Buffon and asked: "I have offended the saints now, so I would like to ask the old man, what should I pay attention to?"

Faced with Beta's directness, Buffon was a little surprised, then nodded thoughtfully and said: "Actually, the problem is not that big. Our Pope's line and the rebellious Saint's line are still inextricably linked. They can’t spare their hands to deal with other people.”

Beta didn't believe half of this. Although the old Buffon looked friendly to Yu Shan, his performance was a skill that all politicians could do. He could hear the other party's underlying meaning. Now the Pope's faction was already at a disadvantage. If it was like him As he said, if he can't take action against others, then the Lord of Xize Nabo City will not be implicated.

As if nothing was wrong, Beta continued to ask: "So, if I want to do my part for His Majesty the Pope of Light, who is the best person to turn to?"

Old Buffon looked happy, 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 have this intention, you can go to Echo City and talk to the city lord. I can write you a letter of introduction. He will definitely be very happy."

"Thank you very much, Bishop Buffon." Beta raised his glass and drank it in one gulp as a gesture of thanks and salute.

Old Buffon also took a sip in return, while Caesar laughed and looked extremely happy.

After that, the guests and hosts exchanged cups and cups, and the banquet lasted until late at night. On the surface, both parties were very harmonious, but in fact, temptations were everywhere.

Both sides are considered to be "actors" at the level of old foxes. Beta did not get any more information from the other party, and 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 amid the other party's pleas.

After leaving Kese County, Beta tore up the letter of introduction given to him by old Buffon on the roadside and threw it into the creek nearby.

Watching the piece of paper follow the stream, Rooney asked curiously: "Master, don't you 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 won't use our current identity. We will use another method." Beta smiled slightly: "The other party has no good intentions. If we take that letter of introduction, If you go up there, you might be treated differently!”

Rooney looked puzzled: "I don't quite understand! We saved him after all."

"Many times, what the superiors consider is not simple gains and losses, or more superficial grudges." Beta sneered twice: "Even if they are in internal strife in the Temple of Light, it is still their internal matter. I am not among their trusted group, and the old priest has even guessed that I am not from France. There are probably many secret words written in his letter of introduction. If I take it, I will definitely be secreted by the city lord of Echo City. Investigate."

Rooney was still puzzled: "If this is the case, why do we still go there?"

"Of course it won't work if we go there with our current identity." Beta said with a smile: "But if we change our identity and go there with a legal identity, there will be no problem."

Three days later, Rooney finally understood why his master wanted to change his identity.

Beta came to visit the Assassin's Guild. Two days later, Beta became a down-and-out noble in Laguo City. He even had a territorial manor. Although it was a bit dilapidated, Beta spent some more money to renovate it directly. .

But now Beta's name is Cook Green, and Rooney and others are his servants.

"Master, isn't this cheating?" Rooney stood next to Beta and said with a constipated look on his face: "You are pretending to be another noble now. What will happen if someone finds out?"

"Except for the Assassin's Guild, no one can find out." Beta smiled: "We have noble blood documents and manor certificates. My fingerprints are all on them. France has a very humane rule, blood documents, And the manor certificate only looks at the fingerprints, not the person, so now I am the legal head of the Green family, and 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 credibility is still good."

Rooney was still worried: "What if it is the original enemy of the family who reports?"

"They shouldn't be stupid enough to do this kind of thing to make enemies. After all, we are not the original Green family. There is no need for them to target us." Beta sneered slightly: "If they are really stupid to this point, I don't mind either. Show your strength, whether it’s financial or personal strength.”

Carissa was bringing freshly squeezed juice. When she saw Beta's sneer, she suddenly became obsessed with it and her face turned red.

Jessica was lying on the ground resting aside. Even though she had great energy, she was still very tired after cleaning most of the manor.

Rooney swallowed and asked a question he had been holding 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 owner didn't say much, but it seemed calm and calm. No wonder the owner bought the status of a nobleman so easily.

"By the way, Rooney, you and Carissa will go to the street to buy some gray hair dye and gray hair dye later." Beta thought for a while and said, "By the way, when Jessica wakes up, you guys will be with her. Go, you have to buy some daily necessities and food and come back, we have to stay here for a while. "

Rooney agreed in a daze, and Carissa was also in a daze.

In this way, Beta settled down in Lago County for the time being. He also found a few bards and asked them to go to the tavern to promote it. It didn't take long for the entire upper class nobles in Lago County to know about it and disappeared. The five-year-old Green family is back.

In a certain hotel, the prosperous businessmen and residents of well-off families were drinking heavily in the tavern, and 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 wizards 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."

"The eyes of the young son are full of tears. He has become a great red robe, and now...he is back, back to Laguo, where he was born and raised..."

Before the bard finished singing his lame ballad, a middle-aged nobleman with an angry face grabbed him by the collar and dragged him up.

"Who asked you to sing the song?" The middle-aged noble looked at the bard coldly.

The bard replied in horror: "Your Excellency, it was the youngest son of the Green family who asked me to sing. He gave me five silver coins."

"He asked you to sing, and you just sang?" The middle-aged noble's fat face had obvious murderous intent: "Now, go tell your colleagues that if anyone dares to sing this song again, he will never leave Laguo alive in the future. county."

The bard crawled out of the tavern.
