Chapter 163 Manor and Interest
The White Wolf Elector Boris Todbringer was assassinated by the Chaos Sect in the Elector Castle, seriously wounded and unconscious, and the news spread rapidly throughout the Old World at a very fast speed.
Afterwards, as far away as the Nord Kingdom, he led the church army to clean up the remnants of Chaos, and the Great Uric Emir Fagor flew back from the north, when he saw the dying white wolf in the Great Temple of the Wolf God. Elector, Emile Fagor’s angry roar can be heard all over Middenheim.
A huge “trial heresy” campaign was launched immediately under the order of the Pope, and countless Uric battle priests, wolf **** monks, white wolf knights and supporting cheetah knights were dispatched to carry out a brutal and **** attack on Middenheim. The cultivator of the wolf **** who advocates cruelty and violence would rather kill 100 by mistake than let one go. On the first day of the trial alone, nearly 1,000 people were tied at the stake and burned to death. People are in a state of panic during this time.
Several large-scale chaos sects, including the Emerald Scepter, the Hand of Black Purple, the Red Crown, and Physician Tyrell, also suffered heavy losses. The fanatical Uric believers launched a fierce offensive under the strong call of the Great Pope, especially To destroy the Red Crown sect that believed in the evil **** Khorne, nearly a hundred fallen white wolf knights were guarded in the sect’s castle.
But it did deal a serious blow to the Chaos Sect in Middenheim’s slums, and many small and medium-sized Chaos Sects were discovered and destroyed.
The Pope’s angry counterattack was supported by many great nobles in Miden. The adopted son of the elector, the Teutonic Guard Marshal von Tugenheim and the Miden Marshal Heinwald led the provincial army and the elite Teutonic ban. Wei participated in the trial and bloodbathed the entire Middenheim Merchant Guild under the leadership of the adopted son of the elector. Facts also proved that more than 70% of this powerful merchant group was corrupted by chaos.
This group of merchants who secretly presided over the activities of the Hand of Wuzi and sacrificed to the evil **** of chaos was not only completely slaughtered and burned to the ground, but also the Teutonic guards followed the vine and implicated hundreds of people.
They ended up being severely sentenced and burned at the stake, and the surnames of the seventeen nobles were completely cut off from the long history.
Compared with the tolerance and indulgence of the southern kingdoms and principalities towards the fallen, Midden led the punishment for the corruption of chaos in this operation is extremely inhumane.
The other great aristocrats in the empire have no opinion. Chaos corrupts everyone and kills everyone, and must be completely eradicated. Since they have the evidence and caused such a tragic incident, the other great aristocrats are also happy to contribute. At the same time Participate in the division of the land, workshop, and forest resources owned by the executed nobles.
The properties of more than a dozen nobles were all confiscated by the Temporary Council of Midden, including thousands of hectares of farmland and their more than fifty manors, nine castles, seven large mines, and Midden’s land under the name of the empire. Nearly 100 shops and workshops in the area obtained as many as 170,000 gold coins by checking their family assets. At the same time, during the trial, a large trading warehouse of the Middenheim Merchant Guild was searched. A large number of provincial legion-style armor, halberds, long swords, crossbows, arrows, and even four mortars and three cannons were enough to arm 1,500 people.
The Chaos Religion, like a stinger in the throat, is almost extinct in Middenheim, and the captured spoils have aroused the desire of countless nobles.
The pie of interest is so big, the fewer people who share it, the more people will share it.
The Middenheim Provisional Council decided to first reward the soldiers who were successful in the heresy trial, auction off or destroy their shops, and give certain properties and benefits to those families who responded first and sent private guards or participated in the operation. The family who kept a wait-and-see attitude was annoyed and beat their chests, and they had to make up for it in other ways.
And the Merchant Guild of the Middenheim business giant also needs new forces to ban it, and it has attracted the greedy eyes of the big businessmen in the entire old world.
The merchants and other non-participating nobles fought over the vacated giant cake, but none of that mattered.
Of course, they showed their talents in the Elector’s Castle and defeated the Chaos Sect’s Draco Baron Lallen, and the witch hunter Eureka, both of whom saved the Elector’s daughter, Miss Selina, for their achievements. It is of great significance. In the rumors, it has been mentioned that the provisional council has given him a huge reward.
The Eurek Church officially announced the details of the night of the Elector’s Castle, and highlighted the exploits of Baron Draco and the witch hunter, as well as the discovery of the truth of the Elector’s second wife, Madame Annika and the court wizard Luigi Identity, the name of Lallen resounded in the old world again.
Although the chaos in Middenheim has gradually subsided, the trial movement in the entire city has not yet ended. There are still sporadic disturbances, and Elector Boris is in danger again, leading to Laylen’s original plan to return to the territory in a week , had to be delayed backwards.
In the evening, a single-family manor in the wealthy district of Middenheim.
A fast-moving carriage slowly stopped in front of the manor’s single-family gate, opened the door, and Lailun and Adrian stepped out of the carriage. The manor’s servants respectfully opened the door for him, and the four accompanying eternal knights Line up to welcome Laren home.
This medium-sized manor was a small gift from the Middenheim Provisional Council. It was also Lailun’s estate and foothold in Middenheim, and it was fully furnished and servants.
After entering the small building of the manor, a servant quickly greeted him. He took out a roll of letters in his hand: “Baron, this is a letter from Earl of Delavan, Leif-An Luo.”
“Okay, I see.” Lailun took the letter and didn’t open it immediately, he said to Adrian: “Thank you for your hard work, Adrian, tomorrow we are going to God Uric above the floating earth. Temple, have a good rest tonight.”
“clear.”
An hour later, the second floor bedroom of the single-family manor.
The young baron with wet black hair, in a light brown silk nightgown, was sitting behind the desk in the bedroom. Refreshing.
In the bedroom, the bright magic lamp radiated soft light. Lallen opened the letter left to him by Earl Draven, and took a cursory glance to understand what happened.
Earl Delavan left Middenheim first. The midsummer has arrived, and the defensive pressure around Drakovald Forest has increased sharply. Several fortresses and towns in the counties need the earl to sit in, and Earl Delavan is gone. There are more reasons to stay in Middenheim. He can return to the earldom to preside over the defense if he needs it. In the letter, the Earl of Draven even gave a message that Boris Todbringer, Elector of the White Wolf He has woken up from a coma. Although his strength has decreased a lot, he has at least gotten rid of the danger of his life.
“Hey~” Lailun sighed, the boulder hanging in his heart could finally fall smoothly.
The elector of Boris is very important. Once he lacks his prestige and personal control ability, the Midden collar is bound to be eroded by all parties, and the heir of the elector is uncertain and has not been selected. Fortunately, now, The Elector of the White Wolf was favored by Uric.
“dong dong dong~” At this moment, a rhythmic knock on the door sounded, and a cold and mature female voice came from outside the door: “Mr. Lailun, can I come in?”
“Eureka? Please come in!” Laren stood up after hearing the words, and put the letter in his hand aside.
The bedroom door opened from the outside to the inside, and the witch hunter Eureka slowly entered his master bedroom, dressed in a slim female witch hunter’s casual clothes, with long silver hair tied behind the white swan’s neck, On the cold and beautiful face, it is still as still as water, and the air is cold.
“Welcome, Miss Eureka, please sit down. At this time, we can talk about anything.” Laren smiled warmly. He walked to the small round table beside the bedroom and picked up two tall At the same time, he filled the glass with red wine and handed it over. When Laren saw Eureka sitting in the guest seat, he moved a chair and sat beside her: “I heard that Pope Eurek gave you a license. Order, rewarded with a lot of gold coins, so that you can maintain the witch hunter stronghold, but there are rumors that you are leaving Middenheim? Why is that?”
“Um.” Eureka nodded lightly, her calm expression gradually eased, she glanced at Laren: “The rumor is true, my existence does not conform to some people’s ideas, so I must to leave the city”
“What’s going on? Eureka, have you figured out the reason?” Lailun frowned, and the young baron was a little unhappy when he saw the witch hunter’s brows, so he comforted: “It’s okay, you saved the white wolf election. The life of the emperor, the entire Midenland owes you a favor, and at this stage, no one will take the risk of public anger to drive you away.”
“Hey~” Eureka raised the corners of her mouth for no reason and smiled, she stared into Laren’s eyes at the same time, and said softly: “I am a witch hunter from the Silver Templar Order of the Holy Sigma Church. , Just because of this, I can’t continue to stay in the holy city of the Uric Church. In the past, the Uric War Priest didn’t arrest me, it was their extra mercy.”
“This is too much” Lallen frowned, he was really sullen at the pedantic behavior of the Urick Church.
“This is the question of the original doctrine. The two churches have been arguing about a topic for nearly a thousand years. How could it be resolved because of me?” Eureka smiled slightly, took out a roll of parchment, and handed it to Lallen: ” The permission order signed by Pope Yurik for the first time is a little reward for my credit, which means that my men and I are living a life of no fixed place again.”
Laylen took a closer look at the permission order, and sternly stopped the Urik followers from launching religious attacks on Eureka, and allowed her to take tasks in the northern province. If necessary, the temples of Uric must give her to her. sure help.
Lyren’s eyes fell on the last line of names, and the signature was indeed Pope Uric: Emile Fagor.
“Doesn’t the Pope know the stakes?” Laylen quickly understood the positions of both parties, and signing a permit was already Emil Fagor’s biggest concession.
In the bedroom, a bright floor-to-ceiling magic lamp illuminates the figures of two people beside the master bedroom.
After a moment of silence, Lallen’s face changed slightly, and his tone became concerned: “So, you will be leaving Middenheim soon, have you decided where to go?”
“Osterland? Or, a little further north, go to Nordland. There are many tasks that can be received there. I don’t have to worry about income for at least two or three years.” Eureka said softly, she stretched out her arm The silver hair that hangs down from the temples.
“Oh, by the way, Miss Eureka, I entrusted you with a task before, and now is the time to get to know it.” Lailun took out a bag with more than 60 gold coins in it: “Thank you very much for your help. , I promised you to keep my promise, including a little compensation.”
“Do we also cover compensation in the contract we made?” Eureka smiled very beautifully, she gently stretched out her hand and pushed away the purse in Laren’s hand: “You keep it for now, just treat it as I have always been. The principal deposited in your hands, every once in a while, I will collect a little interest as a due reward.”
“Eureka, my territory is in need of witch hunters’ help, if possible, I hope you can. Umm~~”
Everything was so sudden.
Half a minute later, no less than a deep kiss at the banquet finally stopped, Eureka’s cheeks became a little more blush, her chest was heaving, she also loosened the ring around Laren’s beautiful arm, stretched out The handsome and handsome face of the man in front of him brushed over, and his breathing was a little short: “. The interest you owe me is only repaid now.”
“It’s too sudden, Miss Eureka.” The young baron stared into her crimson eyes and said with a smile, “But there’s nothing sweeter than this.”
“If I’m not mistaken, you and every woman who is attracted to you have said this.” Eureka’s eyes flashed with slyness, and now she returned to her usual reserved indifference.
Lyren shrugged and didn’t answer, but he still pushed the bag in his hand to the witch hunter, and Eureka pushed it back again.
“You don’t want money? It’s not like you.” Lallen’s eyes flashed with a smile.
“Some things are more important than money, some things have value that cannot be measured by money, this is what you taught me, Baron Lallen, these days I often think, if I didn’t hesitate to kiss that night Going down, maybe the meaning I’m pursuing will be gone.” Eureka sighed softly, and the witch hunter continued, “Remember, you just paid back a little interest.”
“I remember.” Lailen nodded earnestly and held her little hand.
“By the way, I have a few questions I want to ask you, Eureka, about the evil god’s chosen champion Archaen.”
