Romon Geerteng trusted a talent with such an important task, so he must be quite outstanding. However, because of his outstanding performance, he guessed Ray's real strength.
Of course, he was scared out of his wits.
Geerteng was a viscount's territory, adjacent to the barbarian land, where many adventurers came and went. But it was not a place with convenient transportation, and there was no game with high economic returns. The adventurers who would take action here were generally between rookies and veterans, and those who were at the intermediate level like Satan could be considered as first-class elites. Usually, only a team leader or a famous expert would have such a standard.
As Romon's trusted subordinates and his most powerful generals, those two were just relatively powerful among the intermediate adventurers, and they had not even touched the threshold of the senior adventurers.
The most powerful master known in the entire Geerteng territory was Leon Kvass, the bishop of the Church of the God of Knights and Development. He was a God-favored, and it was said that he had touched the threshold of the legendary realm. Since he was persuaded by the first Viscount of Geerteng two hundred years ago, he and his companions came here to establish a church. In the blink of an eye, two hundred years had passed, and he had become the stabilizing force of the entire Geerteng territory, and his authority was even higher than that of the viscount. If he had not explicitly said that he would not participate in the fight for the inheritance, Romon would never have thought of the Geerteng territory.
Scheming against an expert who had lived for two hundred years and was about to surpass the limits of mortals, and scheming to seize the family property left behind by his old friend, such a suicidal thing was definitely not something an intelligent person with a normal mental state would do.
But now, Steele, who should have been killed by her lovers and abandoned in the wilderness, not only came back, but also brought back a powerful man who was suspected to be close to the legendary realm?!
This … this … this was simply …
The person who was responsible for monitoring thought for a while, but could not think of a suitable word.
If Sui Xiong were here, he would definitely finish the sentence for him. Wasn't this the famous saying on the Internet, "What the f * ck!"
"Ray, it seems that someone is afraid of you." He was so frightened that Sui Xiong sensed his fear from far away, and pointed out the direction to Ray. "What on earth did you do? That man almost peed his pants. "
"What else can I do? All these years I've done nothing but murder, arson, and robbery. Perhaps he's a victim from a thousand miles away. Perhaps he's a lucky survivor who escaped because I wasn't quick enough when I annihilated the Iron Sand Chamber of Commerce. "
"Can you not always talk about killing people's families? It makes me uncomfortable."
"… Who killed the whole family! I've never killed the old, the weak, the women, and the children in my life! I killed my way into their Chamber of Commerce and killed everyone inside and outside. There were only businessmen and thugs inside. How could there be any 'old and young'? " Ray couldn't help but cry out for the crime that Sui Xiong had made up for him. "The smugglers in the Chamber of Commerce are a group of people who live on the edge of a knife or kill people without seeing blood. Who would bring their own children into the Chamber of Commerce?"
Sui Xiong laughed awkwardly and recalled carefully. It seemed that Ray had never said that he would kill someone's whole family. It was just that he had subconsciously imagined the scene of "killing the whole family". So, did he still wronged him?
"Looks like you're not that bad after all!" He couldn't help but sigh.
"Nonsense! I'm hated by all the robbers and can only be a lone thief. Isn't that bad beyond all redemption? " Ray wanted to hold back his ridicule, but he couldn't. "Your Majesty, please don't judge human beings with the morals of jellyfish! Even if you use magic, you should be more reliable! "
"I don't really agree with the moral basis of the Detection Camp's magic," Sui Xiong said. "Order and chaos are fine, but the division between good and evil, as far as I'm concerned, is worth discussing."
"I won't get involved in such a sophisticated problem. You can discuss it with any god."
"I think you're knowledgeable, thoughtful, and sophisticated. You're very suitable to discuss this kind of deep problem … "
"No! I'm not suitable at all! The damn questions you've been asking these past few days are driving me crazy. Unless you want a madman to accompany you on a trip, don't come to me to discuss these questions! " Ray immediately shook his head quickly in his heart and strongly refused. "As far as I'm concerned, even if you want to discuss with me 'now close the city gate, start killing from here, and how many people do we have to kill to seize this viscount' … as long as we don't discuss those questions, I'm fine with anything!"
Sui Xiong sighed helplessly, feeling sorry for losing a good person to communicate with.
As they were talking, the two horses had already passed the city gate. Without any hesitation, they walked unhurriedly toward the viscount's mansion.
"Viscount Geerteng's mansion was built two hundred years ago, but after years of renovation and expansion, only the gate and the Court of Inheritance, which is used to hold important family meetings, are the original things. Everything else was built later." Steele was very familiar with this place, and every time they went to a place, she would introduce its history to Ray.
Unconsciously, she gradually restrained her dissolute aura, and gradually revealed her deep feelings for this city and this mansion. She was like a bad child who didn't learn good things outside and returned to her hometown after many years of wandering. Although her character had changed, the memory of her youth came to her mind bit by bit, and she could not help but vaguely return to her innocent and kind childhood.
"This woman is not irredeemable …" As a god, Sui Xiong could clearly feel the change in Steele's heart, and he could not help but laugh.
Ray sneered and interrupted Steele's words, "Miss Steele, I saw that the shop we just passed seemed to be newly renovated. It seems that the situation in the Geerteng's territory is quite stable."
Steele was stunned and woke up from her memory. She turned to look at the shop, thought for a while, and said, "That shop …" After thinking for a while, she still shook her head, "I don't have much impression of it …"
"Then let's find someone to ask, OK?" Although Ray said "OK", he did not wait for Steele's answer. He directly jumped off the horse, stopped an adventurer passing by, and asked what had happened.
"About a month ago, the owner went out to buy goods, and someone on a horse rushed past him. The horse was scared, and the cart was overturned. All the goods in the cart were confiscated. " The adventurer knew the specific situation, and told him in detail, "He didn't come back, so he hanged himself on the roadside, and his wife and children also committed suicide. Then the shop was bought by a noble relative, and it was recently reopened after being renovated. "
Ray remained calm and continued to ask, "How much did it cost to buy the shop? It must be very expensive since the location is so good, right? "
"It was not expensive. The shop was in debt, and the current owner took over the debt and used the shop to pay off the debt, without paying a copper. Otherwise, how could the owner's wife and children have died? "The adventurer smiled and shook his head," So it is better to be a noble! "
"What happened to the debt?" Ray continued to ask, and it seemed that he wanted to get to the bottom of it.
"It was originally a debt caused by poor circulation. The goods were confiscated, so there was no money, so there was a debt. When the goods were returned, of course, the debt was solved. "The adventurer sighed," My friend, don't make fun of me! This kind of thing is everywhere. Is it rare? "
After that, he shook his head, sighed, and walked away.
Ray smiled and asked casually, "Merchants' goods can be confiscated when they drop on the ground. This law has been abolished in many places in the Commonwealth of Gold Coins, but it is still maintained here — it seems that it is very difficult for you to collect taxes here!"
"Of course, our place is small, and we don't have enough sources of taxes. If we don't think of more ways to subsidize, it is difficult to maintain our dignity! " Steele also seemed to be a little emotional, and said with a bitter smile, "In order to maintain dignity, we really have to think of many ways. Alas! These troublesome things are really not what nobles should do! I really hope that the Commonwealth can greatly reduce the laws that are not conducive to collecting taxes! "
In the telepathic communication, Ray sneered and asked, "Your Majesty Jellyfish God, do you still think that this woman is not salvageable?"
Sui was silent for a while, and then sighed, "I suddenly feel that your proposal is very valuable, and it is worth a try."
"What proposal?"
"Block the city gate, directly kill our way in, and occupy this territory."
Ray was stunned, "Hey! This is a joke! I still have a wanted order from the Brutal Hunter Church. You wouldn't want me to have another … no, several wanted orders, would you? Furthermore, that was impossible! Even if you do it yourself, at most you can kill all the people in this city, and there is no way to occupy this territory! I am not even a member of the Geerteng Family … "
"Didn't you say that the bloodline is a small matter, and it is only a magic ceremony that costs twenty or thirty thousand gold coins?"
"But why should I exchange it for the bloodline of this shit viscount from the countryside! After all, I am a — "Ray suddenly realized something and hurriedly stopped talking, which made Sui Xiong very dissatisfied.
This guy was really too alert. If he had said one more word, he would have known where this guy came from!
Sighing helplessly, Sui Xiong changed the topic, "This woman is really hopeless … maybe we should find a younger, simpler one, after all, a blank piece of paper is easier to write on."
"No matter how simple she is, she will be corrupted by the luxurious life of the nobles." Ray had no confidence in the nobles at all.
"Then find someone with a simple personality and indifferent desire."
"There is no such person among the nobles!"
"Let's find someone among the non-nobles. Anyway, it is just a ceremony that costs twenty or thirty thousand gold coins."
"… This time I have to admit that what you said makes sense …"
So this matter was settled. After settling down in the viscount's mansion, Ray showed his face a little to support Steele, and then leisurely walked around the Geerteng City.
As for the reason, he did not even bother to say it, because no one here could stop him — to be exact, no one would stop him anyway.
The Geerteng City was not big, and it only took a person and a God half a day to walk around. Coincidentally, they really found a young, indifferent, and somewhat talented person.
She was a branch of the Geerteng Family, and the librarian of the Geerteng City Library, Olian Geerteng.
A little girl of only fifteen years old.
