Chapter 140 Corinne's identity
Leon still remembers that at the same gate of the city, he and his men were embarrassed by the same guards, so they clashed and offended the garrison silver star commander Pastin.
And now, he can ride a horse into the city in a big way. Even Subaru and Tin Pi, as attendants, can enjoy superior treatment. The treatment is really different.
Tomund City is as prosperous as ever. It was the first time for the two thunder beast warriors to come to a real big city. They couldn't help but look straight at each other, especially the big hippo's iron skin and mouth was not close for a long time, and the stupid appearance was shocking.
"Lei, Lord Leon!"
An agile figure suddenly flashed in the crowd and rushed to the front of Leon's mount.
"Bick?" Leon quickly grabbed the reins for fear that the horned horse would step on this reckless little guy in shock.
He saw clearly that it was Bic, the rat boy, who stopped the way. He was the first hired guide in Tormond City.
I haven't seen him for half a year. Bic has grown a lot taller and stronger. His clothes are at least clean, and his ruddy face is no longer the yellow and thin look.
"Lord Leon, it's really you! How are you? I really didn't expect to see you again..."
Bic's face was full of surprise, and his words were a little incoherent.
Leon turned over and got off the horse, reached out and patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile, "I'm fine. You're also very good. You look like a young man. How's your family now?"
"Very good, my family is fine. It's all thanks to you..." Bic's eyes flashed with tears of gratitude.
If it hadn't been for the money that Leon gave him, I'm afraid it would have been difficult for his family to get through this year's cold winter.
"Well, there's no need to say thank you. Let's go. I have something else to ask you!" Leon said with a smile, "Let's find a hotel first."
With Bic, the ground mouse, looking for a hotel or something is just a trivial matter.
After it was settled down, Leon took Subaru, Tin and Bic to find a tavern nearby.
After sitting down, Leon asked bluntly, "Bick, I want to buy something in Tormond's underground black market. Do you know or know a more reliable guide?"
The underground black market in Tomond City has a history of hundreds of years and is engaged in a lot of business that cannot be seen. However, the underground black market has a very strict set of rules. Even strangers are nobles can't enter and trade casually.
Unless there is a "guide", that is, the introduction or guidance of the black market bredder.
At the beginning, Leon bought a batch of military crossbows in the underground black market through Panad, but Panad also found buyers and sources through guiders.
Panad belongs to the southwestern garrison. After being promoted to the Beast Soul Warrior, he was promoted to a junior commander. Considering that his relationship with the garrison was not so wonderful, he did not want to find Panad to cause unnecessary trouble to this friend.
"I've heard of two guides, but I don't know whether they are reliable or not..." Bick thought for a moment and said, "Lord Leon, why don't you go to Miss Corinna? I think she must have a way!"
"Corina..."
A beautiful and fox face immediately appeared in Leon's mind. Of course, he did not forget the behind-the-scenes controller of the mysterious surname of the forest goblin bar.
I just don't know why. Perhaps because Corinne's identity is too mysterious, Leon always feels that she is dangerous. If she gets too close, she may catch fire.
"How much do you know about Miss Corinna?" Leon asked.
Bick looked around carefully, and then said in a low voice, "Lord Leon, I heard that Miss Corinna is a daughter of Queen Sophia!"
"She originally had the title of princess and territory. Later, after the death of Her Majesty, she was deprived of her territory and driven out of the royal capital Uglu, so she came to Tomund City."
Queen Sofia! Of course, Leon knew this famous name. He really didn't expect that Corinna still had royal blood.
Sofia. Rhine is one of the few queens in the history of Bimon. Her surname is strong and fierce, and she advocates that she will never compromise on the battle of the elves.
But the queen reigned for a short time. After only five years of ascending the throne, she suddenly died of illness by her brother St. Borg. Rhine took over the throne.
It has been less than 20 years since Queen Sophia passed away, and there are many rumors about her, especially some palace secrets.
Queen Sophia has no husband, but there are many lovers and children. It is not unusual to have a fox daughter.
It's just that Leon can't see the characteristics of the lion descendants from Corinne, so he can't help but be a little more curious: "Who did you hear about this?"
Bick is just a little man at the bottom of Tormond. He can actually hear the secret rumors at the top, which makes Leon feel a little incredible.
"I know the driver of the Count of Canton. He once told me secretly after he was drunk, and he didn't know it until he listened to several nobles in private."
There are really no eternal secrets in this world. Leon believes that Miss Corinne's identity may not be a big secret in the upper class of Tomond City, but it is really difficult for ordinary people to understand these secrets.
What Leon didn't expect was that he actually learned the truth from Bic, which was also a coincidence.
Of course, whether this news is true and reliable also needs to be confirmed.
"I know. Don't tell anyone about this in the future, so as not to cause trouble." Leon exhort.
Bick nodded vigorously: "I understand, my lord, I won't say anything except you!"
"This is the best!" Leon smiled and took out more than a dozen gold coins from his pocket and put them in front of him: "You take the money."
"Your Excellency, this is too much. The money you gave me last time hasn't been used up..." Bic waved his hand repeatedly, and his face turned red.
"I'll take it for you!" Leon stood up and said, "Go back and give it to your family to buy some food, and you'd better learn some money-making skills from the craftsman in the city. It's not a long-term plan to be a guide."
"I hope to see you again next time. Work hard!"
After saying goodbye to Bic, Leon left the pub with Subaru and Tin and took a carriage to the Tormond Temple.
He asked Subaru and the iron sheet to go to Shenhui Square first to see the stone statue of the beast god and feel the power of the god.
As for whether the two can get anything, it only depends on their respective opportunities.
Although Leon has a noble status, it is definitely impossible to enter the Tomund Temple directly, but fortunately he also has an acquaintance in the Tomond Temple.
Through the transmission of the guard of the priest in the gray robe, Priest Sode personally went down the mountain to meet Leon.
Seeing Leon, the bear priest looked very happy. When he met him, he gave him a solid hug: "Baron Leon, long time no see!"
"Actually, I should have come to visit you a long time ago, but the affairs of the territory are too busy to come to Tormond City recently!" Leon laughed.
Priest Soder and Elder Montstein are best friends, kind and upright. After Archbishop Farns left, he can be said to be Leon's most reliable and trustworthy person in the Temple of Tormond.
The only regret is that Priest Soder is just a white-robed priest and has no right to speak in the temple. If he is a scepter priest, the weight will be completely different.
In the residence of Priest Soder, Leon said his intention: "Lord Soder, I need your help when I come to the temple to visit you this time."
"You say..." Soder nodded: "As long as I can do it, I will definitely find a way to help you do it. Archbishop Farns also told me to help you well before he left."
Reon took out a small metal box from his package, opened it and handed it to the other party: "Lord Soder, here are three ounces of mithril and twenty ounces of star sand gold, which is the trophy I seized in the city of the gop."
"I would like to ask you to transfer it to the temple, which is a worship of the temple to express my gratitude for the support of the temple!"
"Mystery Silver and Star Sand Gold!" Soder took a breath and looked at the shiny metal blocks in the box. His eyes changed: "This is too precious!"
The public price of an ounce of mithril is 10,000 gold coins, but in fact, if you find the right buyer in urgent need, the price can rise sharply.
At the beginning, Leon didn't know the situation and sold some mithril at a public price when he was in a hurry to wait for money, which was really a big loss.
The value of the loot captured from the city of the goggles far exceeds Leon's estimate. The collection of the gonoline lord is really much cheaper for him. In addition to some of them used to build the pagoda and the sanctuary transmission array, there are more.
This time when he came to Tomund City, Leon brought all the extra mithril and star sand gold, half of which were dedicated to the temple, and half were ready to be sold in the black market in exchange for what he needed.
In Leon's heart, he doesn't want to owe too much to the temple. There is no love in the world for no reason. He is afraid that if he owes too much, he will not be able to pay it one day.
And by handing over this expensive offering, it is also Leon's intention to increase Soder's weight in Tormond.
Maybe one day he can compete for the position of the scepter priest, and these small weights can play an unexpected role.
Of course, Priest Soder could understand Leon's intention. He didn't say anything more. He took the metal box and looked deeply at Leon and asked, "So what about the second thing?"
"The second thing is that I really want to trouble you!" Leon pointed to Subaru and Tin Pi beside him and said, "For the two of them!"
Priest Soder glanced at the two and knew: "Well, there is no problem with the quota to participate in the trial. I will try my best to find a way in the ranking position of the soul casting ceremony!"
"Then please, my lord!" Leon said with a smile.
He suddenly had a feeling that he would have an unexpected harvest on this Tomund trip!
