Dean Massimo sat in the carriage, thinking about a lot of things.

He didn't expect Derek to grow so fast.

He still remembered that it had not been two years since the other party threatened him.

"But... this kind of person is not surprising."

Dean Massimo couldn't help but feel fear when he recalled the changes in the monastery.

Even his current guard knights, Duke Leopold, are like lunatics.

He felt fear for a long time, fearing that he would be stabbed to death by these crazy knights.

But now... I work for Duke Leopold, what am I afraid of?

On the contrary, I feel full of security. Except for the stubborn faith of these knights, their combat effectiveness is guaranteed.

As for driving straight into the military camp, he didn't think it was a big deal.

I have lived for half my life, and I don't know how many devout noble believers there are. If I can't even do this, what's the point of mixing?

Along the way, there are devout noble officers leading the way.

It is true that the commander of the standing army and even some officers are nobles of the capital, but there are more locals.

It might not be possible to rebel directly, but there is still some face.

The legion commander Farid also stood outside the house to greet him and express his respect.

Although he did not believe in God, he knew that Dean Massimo had a different status.

Moreover, many of his officers were believers in God. He would not be stupid enough to show dissatisfaction, and he would even show a false appearance of piety.

He was also very clear about the purpose of Dean Massimo's visit today.

The relationship between Melgen Monastery and Duke Leopold was well known.

The Melgen Province was named after it, and the monastery knights became the private army of the duke.

Although I don't know how he did it, the relationship between the two families is obvious.

Farid was mentally prepared.

It's okay to meet, and the hospitality will be thoughtful.

But he would not believe a word of the other party's words.

"The Farid family has been loyal to the Louis family for five generations. The two previous and current majesties have trusted me and entrusted me with the position of legion commander. Don't even think about letting me betray the majesty."

Farid's will was very firm, and he felt that he could resist temptation.

Of course, he would resist. Winning would be the best. If he lost, he would just walk away.

The Farid family's fiefdom was not in the Monta Province, so he had no burden at all.

Thinking of this, with a smile on his face, Legion Commander Farid watched as Dean Massimo got off the carriage.

"Two carriages, and other people? The ruts are quite deep."

Legion Commander Farid observed very carefully, and this thought flashed through his mind.

As for Dean Massimo's assassination, he had never thought about it, and such a thing had never happened.

To be honest, if Dean Massimo really didn't follow the moral code of war, the possibility of a surprise attack being successful was very high.

"It's a great honor to meet you, Dean Massimo," Legion Commander Farid had already greeted him and said sincerely, "I've always wanted to visit the monastery, but I was too busy and kept delaying it. Today I have the opportunity to listen to your teachings."

Fareed looked sincere, and those who didn't know would think he was very pious.

If Abbot Massimo hadn't known that this guy had been in Monta Province for seven or eight years and had never been to the monastery, he would have believed it.

"Captain Farid is too polite. I came here today on someone's behalf. Please forgive me for coming here in a presumptuous way."

Both of them were very humble, holding their hands tightly together. If you didn't know, you would think they had a very good relationship.

Finally, the two walked into the house hand in hand.

After a long time of politeness, they sat down separately.

Those who stayed in the house were all high-ranking officers of the legion.

Today's conversation was destined to be sensitive, and Farid didn't dare to talk to Abbot Massimo alone, otherwise if King Arthur knew about it, it would definitely be recorded in his little notebook.

He sat down on the stool, thinking about how to refuse.

It's not difficult to guess Abbot Massimo's intention, isn't it just to be a lobbyist?

"I'm entrusted with a few words and a gift for you." Dean Massimo was also very straightforward. He clapped his hands without saying a word. The knight outside the door came in with a few large boxes: "A little gift to apologize to you first."

Fareed hadn't reacted yet, and was confused. What kind of routine is this.

What are you doing with a few boxes?

Then the knight opened the box.

Three large boxes, very heavy.

When the lid was opened, the dazzling silver shone, and it hurt my eyes.

Farid stood up subconsciously because he had seen the white silver coins in the box.

Gulp!

The room was silent, and even the sound of swallowing saliva could be heard clearly.

"This... this... what... does this... mean?"

Farid began to stutter when he spoke. He didn't think that the gift was white silver coins.

With his status and position, he thought he would not lose his composure because of money. Now he knows that the money is too little.

With three boxes of silver coins in front of him, he admitted that he had lost his composure.

Dean Massimo was very satisfied with the other party's expression. He was not much better when he first saw him.

"Two hundred thousand silver coins are the Duke's gift. Please accept them."

This money is hot.

Farid did not expect the other party to reveal his identity directly.

Is this money so easy to take? This is money to buy life.

He barely controlled his greed. Two hundred thousand silver coins, he had to share some with his men present. Although it was a lot, he did not think of selling his life.

It was very difficult to look away, and Farid refused: "I will not betray the king, please... take the money back."

He did not think of forcibly possessing it, that would be purely courting death, and he did not even look at whose money it was.

Dean Massimo was not surprised at all, it was normal for Farid to restrain his greed.

"Sir Farid, please accept it, the Duke just wants to make a friend, nothing else.

I will stay here for ten days, don't worry, I will never force you."

After a few words, Dean Massimo simply left.

Leaving Farid and a group of people looking at each other.

"Captain of the Legion, this money..." Someone couldn't help asking.

"Put it aside first, how can this money be so easy to take." Farid was still somewhat rational: "First arrange for Dean Massimo to be here, I will see what he wants to do first."

The officers under him were very disappointed, but they dared not object.

Farid couldn't help but reach out and grab a handful, the familiar touch was very tempting.

He immediately sent people to surround the house inside and outside.

Unexpectedly, the next day, another carriage drove into the military camp.

Dean Massimo arrived as expected. He didn't say a word, and threw three more boxes on the ground, then turned around and left.

Farid had a hunch, and when they opened the boxes, they found three more boxes of silver coins.

"They won't send them for ten days in a row, will they?" someone couldn't help asking.

Judging from this posture, it is very likely.

Farid closed his eyes in pain. He couldn't take the money. How could he betray His Majesty?
