Chapter 139 Dark Calculation

Clinworth Castle, Lord's Mansion.

"Get out of here!"

A thunderous roar suddenly came from the room, and two bodyguards and a maid hurried out.

The maid's face was full of grievances. She reached out to wipe the tears on her cheeks and invertently bumped into a young nobleman who was coming.

"Young Master Dessel, I'm sorry!" The maid was so scared that she knelt on the ground and begged for mercy. The two bodyguards also quickly bowed their heads and stood aside for fear of being affected by the pond fish.

However, the young nobles didn't care about them. They waved impatiently and walked straight into the study.

In the study, the Lord of Colinworth, Viscount Mailer, was walking around with an irritable face, and a human-made exquisite bone porcelain cup was torn apart on the carpet.

Seeing the young nobleman coming in, Viscount Mailer exhaled: "Dessel, close the door. I have something to tell you."

Dessel carefully closed the door of the study. He frowned slightly and asked, "Father, what's the matter?"

As the eldest son of the Colinworth family and the first successor of the Colinworth leader, Dessel rarely saw his father so restless.

"Sit down and talk!" Viscount Mailer sighed and handed a small scroll in his hand to Dessel.

Dessel took over and opened it, and his expression suddenly changed: "Tomund Temple sent Bloom. Did Master Eagle build a pagoda for the city of Saar? Does that Leon have money? Or does the temple support him so much?

"Well, the temple won't do business at a loss!" Viscount Mailer snorted coldly, "It seems that the rumor is true. Our neighbor has made a fortune!"

"We shouldn't have been soft at the beginning!" Dessel said hatefully, "Father, if it goes on like this, we have no hope to get the Sallar!"

The Colinworth family has always been ambitious for the territory of the southwestern border of the kingdom.

But it is very difficult for the Viscount Mailer to become the Earl of Mailer. If he can't be promoted to the Count, it is impossible to annex the Saler.

Over the years, the Colinworth family and the Rock Fortress gacy have been fighting hard. Viscount Mailer has tried his best to win over the officers of the two regiments, and constantly sent the children of the family to serve in the army, hoping that one day he can get what he wants.

However, Leon was born and was awarded the title of Sal, which suddenly completely disrupted Viscount Mailer's plan, and made all his painstaking work for more than ten years wasted.

Seeing that a piece of fat under his eyes was taken away, how could the Viscount Meller be willing to swallow this breath and target Sal's leadership frequently.

But whether it was a calculation in the open or the dark, Salling not only was not blocked and trapped to death, but became more and more prosperous.

The support of the Tomund Temple, the entry of the mercenary union, and the trade blockade have attracted the dissatisfaction of many chambers of commerce. Colinworth has paid a lot, but received very little.

"Yes, we can't let him go on like this anymore!" A fierce look flashed in the wolf eyes of Viscount Meller: "I got the news that Leon has left the city of Saar."

"He may go to Tormond City, accompanied by only two ordinary guards, not even the celebrity magician."

"I don't know what he's going to do in Tomond City, but this is a great opportunity for us!"

Dessel was shocked: "You mean..."

"Our baron is still very young, with no wife or children..." Viscount Meller said solemnly, "If Salle loses his successor, it will be taken back to the kingdom, then our opportunity will come!"

This is definitely the best way to withdraw money from the bottom of the kettle. Dessel's eyes lit up, but then he hesitated for a moment: "But Father, Leon is a nobleman now, and he has the support of the temple. Once things are exposed..."

"And even if Leon is killed, the Sal collar may be cheaper than others. The current Sal collar can't be compared with before, and we won't be the only ones staring at it!"

The assassination of a noble lord is a felony second only to rebellion! The Colinworth family took great risks to solve Leon, but in the end, the fruit of victory fell into the hands of others, which was really a joke.

So Dessel's concerns are very reasonable.

A smile appeared on Viscount Mailer's face: "Yes, I'm glad that you can consider this..."

After a pause, the viscount continued, "But do you really think I must want to deal with Leon? I can tell you now that I don't like to see people who don't exist in Leon. There are people from the upper level of the kingdom and people from the top of the temple!"

"I can guarantee that as long as we kill Leon in the dark, someone will definitely take the initiative to cover up this matter. Isn't it easy to find a scapegoat? At that time, the Colinworth family will naturally get a benefit.

"How could this happen? Hasn't the temple always supported him? Dessel was shocked and couldn't believe it.

Viscount Mailer patted his son on the shoulder and said with a smile, "So, you still have a lot to learn. As the future successor of the family, you must remember that the interests of the family are above all else!"

"I'll leave the task to you this time. You control all the power of our family in Tormond City. As long as you can achieve your goal, it doesn't matter how much money you spend."

"But make sure that Leon can't leave Tomund City alive!"

Desel clenched his fist hard: "Don't worry, I will do my best!"

...... The summer is hot, and the scorching sun is like fire.

This is the best season of the year in the Hulun prairie. The sky is like washing the long grass, and the wind blows the grass and the cattle and sheep appear low.

The fragrant air mixed with grass and earth makes people feel relaxed and happy.

Three Shenjun's horned horses ran through the grassland, and the sound of horses' hooves spread far away.

The towering city-state in the distance finally appeared in Leon's sight.

Long time no see, Tomund!

This is the second time that Leon has come to Tomund City. Although it has been almost half a year since the first arrival, the past is vivid in his mind and clearly presented.

At that time, Leon was just an unknown tribal warrior who came to this city with a desire for higher power, and his fate changed wonderfully.

And now he is not only a second-level soul warrior, but also a noble lord. Both his status and strength are not the same as before.

This time, when he came to Tomund City, Leon was quite low-key and only had two attendants with him.

He personally came to the capital of the southwestern province, and there were many things to do.

First of all, I would like to express my gratitude to the Tomund Temple. Although Archbishop Farns has left, the support from the Temple has not ended. He has to give a positive and enthusiastic response.

By the way, I also bring Master Bloom's application document, which is related to the successful construction of the sanctuary transmission array.

The second thing is also related to the sanctuary transmission array. Leon wants to find out the news of Amethyst through the underground black market of Tomund City. Although he doesn't have that much money, there are more ways than difficulties.

And if it can't be found, Leon is also ready for a second hand.

The last thing is related to the two attendants around him, Tiepi and Subaru.

Subaru is a tiger warrior who is nearly 30 years old. He has a burly figure and a cold look, and a few scars on his dark face are shocking, giving people the feeling of being fierce and ferocious.

He was originally an aborigine in the whistling forest. Like the animal descendants who later joined the Hammer tribe, the Subaru tribe declined in the battle with the goblins.

Relatives and friends died one by one, forced to flee everywhere, struggling on the edge of life and death - almost a replica of the fate of most of the wandering beasts in the roaring forest.

In the Thunder Beast Camp, there are very few tiger warriors like Subaru. Although he is not the strongest, he is definitely the most diligent and hard-working, and the battle is also the most brave.

So after the establishment of the Subaru Thunder Beast Battalion, he was the first barbarian warrior to reach the level of six.

And the hippo warrior iron sheet of the Ug tribe broke through and was promoted not long ago.

Leon took the two to the city of Tomund, which was naturally for the soul casting ceremony of the temple for the summer sacrifice.

God-given aura is a secret that Leon has been trying to keep. Of course, he has the ability to help Subaru and Tin to complete the final breakthrough, but in the foreseeable future, more and more six-level barbarian warriors will emerge from the Thunder Beast Camp.

If these warriors are successfully promoted to warriors without the soul-casting ceremony of the temple, they are bound to arouse suspicion, and once Leon's secret is exposed, the possible consequences and troubles are really unpredictable.

Pifu is innocent and guilty. Leon's divine aura is the "bi". In the case that his strength is not strong enough and his status is not high enough, it is the hard truth to be a low-key person and immerse himself in development. The less trouble, the better.

And more importantly, Leon is still unable to quickly accumulate enough faith power for a long time, so it is necessary for the warriors who meet the requirements to participate in the soul casting ceremony first.

He is very confident in the warriors under his command. It is definitely not a problem to pass the trial. The final test can only look at the meaning of the beast god.

Leon believes that there should be no problem for him to find a way to fight through the temple and rank the order of Subaru and the iron sheet higher.

Along the wide road, the three of them went straight to the west gate of Tomund City.

I haven't seen you for half a year. This largest city in the southwestern province doesn't seem to have changed. People come and go are bustling. Mercenaries, merchants, farmers, nobles... seem to be a volume of urban style paintings unfolding.

At the gate, heavily armed guards were checking the pedestrians passing by.

When it was Leon's turn, Leon showed his badge to the guard, and the guard immediately let go of the road.

This is a privilege only for nobles.
