Chapter 154 Someone is crazy
The glorious continent has entered the end of summer.
The weather is getting hotter and hotter. The Tomund region, located in the middle of the mainland, has ushered in the first harvest season of the year. Large areas of wheat fields outside Tomond City are ripe, and the golden wheat waves rise and fall with the wind. From a distance, it looks like a golden ocean.
The climate of the southwest province is suitable for the fertile land, and there are many rivers with abundant rain. The Hulun grassland is rich in cattle, sheep and horses. The farmland reclaimed on the grassland is countless, making the southwestern province a large granary of the whole Kingdom of Bimon.
Every year's summer harvest is one of the most important days. Not to mention farm farmers, many urban residents have also been mobilized to participate in the harvest.
Because if the wheat is not collected in time, it is likely to affect the sowing of winter wheat.
Pieces of wheat fields were harvested clean, and tall wheat stacks were scattered on the empty fields. Countless birds flew up and down to find the lost ears of wheat. This is a rare feast for them.
When the wheat fields are almost harvested, the summer harvest festival will follow.
The summer festival is the most grand and lively festival of the year like the New Year's festival. As early as a week or two ago, countless vagrants, circuses, bards and gray camel merchants entered Tomund City to participate in this carnival.
All the hotels in the city were full, and the streets and alleys were crowded. Even Shenhui Square was opened for the circus, and dozens of large tents were set up. Clowns and magicians used all means to attract guests.
Those farmers who have worked hard for a spring and summer also flocked to the city. They used the money they received for a bumper harvest to buy all kinds of things, clothes, porcelain, utensils, etc., and gritted their teeth to buy one or two hand-woven toys for their children.
From day to night, Tomund City stayed up all night.
But for Leon, there is not much time left for Tomund City.
On the second day of the summer festival, Leon and hundreds of spectators came to the hall of the Tomund Temple to witness the birth of a new generation of beast soul warriors.
The hippo warrior iron sheet and the tiger warrior Subaru both successfully passed the early trial, and also achieved the record of winning two black elf heads, and naturally entered the final test.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The bells on the top of the temple rang, and the magnificent bells spread far away. In the temple hall, everyone stood silently and prayed to the beast god for blessings and protection.
Opa is on top!
The eyes of the thunder tiger standing in the crowd flashed slightly. He could fully feel the huge and vast divine power shrouded in the temple, and with the ringing of the bell, little by little into the soul core until it was full.
The temple is indeed the best place to gather the divine power of faith!
Unfortunately, as a local lord, Leon usually can't enter the temple except for a few special days, and the speed of condensing the divine power of faith is too slow.
However, it is believed that when the church in Saar City is officially completed, he will have a way to accelerate the accumulation of the divine power of faith.
Among the priests on the other side, Leon saw Priest Soder.
The ceremony officially began, and the warriors who completed the trial stepped on the platform of the totem pillar in turn and sacrificed to the beast god with their own blood.
After the sacrifice was completed, the first round of twelve testers entered the room of the divine sacrifice, and the iron sheet and Subaru were among them!
There is no doubt that the good relationship between Leon and the Tomund Temple and the mithril star sand gold he worshipped played a huge role.
You should know that under normal circumstances, the places in the first round are reserved for the soldiers trained in the temple and the testers selected by the rich families of Tormond.
The extra huge iron sheet is particularly eye-catching. As the only hippo warrior among the testers, the people who watched the ceremony cast curious and surprised eyes at him.
Reon waved his fists at the two to give them support and encouragement.
Then there was a suffocating wait.
Time passed silently, and about ten minutes later, the first testers came out of the room of the divine sacrifice.
Twelve testers looked different, with ecstasy, excitement, excitement, and chagrin, depression and despair, while Leon saw joy on the faces of Tin and Subaru!
Both of them passed the soul casting ceremony and became beast soul warriors!
Leon laughed and stepped forward to give the two a powerful hug.
You can go home!
......Going home, whether for Leon or Subaru, no matter how prosperous and lively Tomund is, they are just passers-by, and their real home is still in Sal.
The iron sheet couldn't wait to leave. After the initial freshness passed, he especially missed the tribes in the forest and the clear rivers.
So after completing the promotion of the Beast Soul Warrior, the three of them no longer miss the festival atmosphere of Tomund City, and rode back to Salin that night.
Two days later, they bypassed Gry City and reached the edge of the Colinworth collar.
But something unexpected happened to Leon. Colinworth actually blocked the territory and banned any unpermissioned personnel, including caravans and mercenaries.
A checkpoint was set up on the road to Collinsworth Castle, and dozens of riders swamed on the nearby grassland, looking murderous.
Although his heart was like an arrow, Leon did not bypass the sentry card and broke into the Colinworth collar. He vaguely felt that Viscount Mailer blocked the territory, which was probably related to the recent death of his eldest son Dessel in Tomund City, and it was also directly aimed at Sal!
On the roadside, Leon stopped a small gray camel caravan from Colinworth to inquire about the situation.
The businessman of the team leader told Leon that the Colinworth family issued a lockdown order two weeks ago, closing several major passages from Colinworth Castle to the outside world.
The reason for the collar of Colinworth is that a group of fierce horse thieves appeared in his territory, disguised as caravans and mercenaries, and attacked several villages, causing a lot of casualties.
This group of horse thieves were active in the border area of the Corinworth and the Salers. Once they found that the territorial guards appeared, they immediately esced into the mountains and forests of the Salers, so several encirclement failed.
In order to completely eliminate this scourge and the safety of the summer sacrifice, Viscount Mailer made the decision to blockade the territory. Colinworth was not allowed to enter unless he got a special permission.
In this way, the merchant mercenaries who stayed in Salling and Colinworth were in trouble. Many merchants were still planning to make a lot of money during the summer harvest festival, and the caravan was blocked when they walked to the border of Colinworth.
Businessmen have an extremely sensitive sense of smell. They find that the action of the Colinworth collar is really aimed at the Sal collar, and there may be a possibility of conflict between the two sides.
So in order to avoid unnecessary losses, many caravans began to evacuate.
After listening to it, Leon's first feeling was that Viscount Mailer lost his son and went crazy. Secondly, he thought that if he was not there, how Salling would face the pressure from this evil neighbor.
The horse thief is indeed a good excuse. Viscount Mailer can shift all the responsibility to Salling and accuse Salling of harboring the horse thief.
If it is more vicious, he will send someone to pretend to be a horse thief to harass the business travelers of Sal's past, make this excuse a reality, and then put pressure on Sal's leader through the upper level of Gree, which can make Sal's territory difficult.
At least, Leon's efforts for the prosperous territory in the early stage will be in vain.
Thinking of this possibility, Leon couldn't wait to fly back to Saar City immediately.
However, he did not mess up because of this. Maybe Viscount Mailer had already spread a big net waiting for him on the border of the Sal territory. He rushed over recklessly and could only throw himself into the net!
"Boss, what should we do?" Subaru licked his lips, and the fierce light in the tiger's eyes showed: "Why don't we take a detour and rush over? I don't believe they can block the whole border!"
After being successfully promoted to the Beast Soul Warrior, his strength can be said to be ten times stronger than before, and he is very eager to do the next game.
"Don't be impulsive. We definitely have to take a detour, but we have to go from the iron furnace castle!" Leon said in a low voice.
Viscount Mailer thought that if he blocked the territory, he could seal up Sal's territory. In fact, Sal's territory had already begun to open up the northern commercial road, and even cleaned up the dark place for this reason. There was more than one way back to Sal City.
As long as he spends a few more days in a big circle, no matter what traps the Colinworth family has set for him in his territory, it is doomed to be in vain.
"Go!"
Under the leadership of Leon, the three of them turned their horses and galloped north.
After entering the Iron Fortress area, they turned west from the edge of the dark place into the mountain forest, and then headed southwest to Saar City.
This road is undoubtedly too difficult to walk. Fortunately, Leon has always carried a map with him, and all three of them are beast soul warriors, so there is no danger along the way.
Four days later, they saw the towering outline of Sal City.
I'm finally home!
Looking at the city still shrouded in fog, Leon's hanging heart finally let go, and he left for almost a month.
All the farmland on the lake outside the city has been harvested, and the hard-working gobrists are ploughing and sowing in the fields. The calls of cattle and sheep on the grassland not far away are one after another, and the curling smoke floats over the city.
It was a quiet morning, and Sal City did not seem to be affected by the Colinworth blockade.
The soldiers guarding the Acropolis Gate were the first to find the return of the three of them, and someone immediately sent the news back to the city.
When Leon returned to the lord's mansion, Elder Monstein, Rock Hammer, Rose, Concordia, Aklan, Anlan... Almost everyone came out to greet him.
Seeing Leon's burly figure appearing at the door, Rose was the first to rush up and jump into his arms, completely without the reservedness of the past.
"You finally came back and knew that everyone was worried to death!" She choked and said.
The leopard girl finally showed her weak side.
A warm current surged up in Leon's heart. He gently patted the back of the rose and comforted him, "It's okay. Didn't I come back safely? Let's go in first and talk about it slowly.
Only then did Rose think that there was a group of people behind her, and she blushed and quickly broke free from his arms.
Salling was facing great trouble. Leon, who came back at night, was not in the mood to rest or wash and clean. He held an emergency meeting directly in the council hall of the lord's mansion, and all the important figures were present, including Master Bloom from the Tomund Temple.
At present, more than half of the interior decoration of the church in Sal City has been completed, and the double magic tower has just been built, and Bloom will stay in Sal for the first half of the year.
Elder Monstein told Leon about what happened to Salling after he left.
Two weeks ago, Viscount Mailer announced the blockade of the territory to suppress horse thieves, and foreign caravans and mercenaries could no longer enter the Sal territory, including the caravan of the mercenary union.
As the summer festival approached, most merchants and mercenaries left the Salling, which made the city much more depressed, and even some shops were closed.
What's more troublesome is that a group of powerful Hummer thieves really appeared in the fringes of the territory. They attacked the caravan from Sal City several times, and some mercenaries even died as a result.
Three days ago, the lord's mansion received an official document from the city of Gry. Colinworth accused Salling of indulging horse thieves, posing a serious threat to the safety of Colinworth.
Viscount Mailer asked Salling to explain this and be responsible for all damages.
This official document, which maliciously distorted the facts, made Concordia and Rock Hammer and others extremely angry. Rock Hammer even wanted to lead the thunder beast camp to step on the collar of Colinworth, and the people in the territory once fluctuated.
It was Elder Munstein who stood up in time to stop the impulse of the rock hammer. His decision was very simple. He sent the thunder beast camp to garrison the border area to watch the change and wait for Leon to come back before making a decision.
In the case that Leon did not come back, everything should be stable.
In response to this official document, Elder Munstein personally wrote a reply, categorically denying all the charges of the Colinworth leader and strongly protesting the closure of the Colinworth collar.
"Huh, take a bite back!"
Leon punched the round table, and the tiger's eyes were full of fierce light: "Is it true that we are easy to bully?"
He didn't expect that all his guesses had become a fact. Viscount Mail was obviously completely torn his face. If it hadn't been for the felony of attacking other lords without authorization, I'm afraid that the iron horse of Colinworth had set foot on the land of Sal!
"Brother Leon, what do you say, we'll do it!" Rock Hammer couldn't wait to stand up and roared, "We must give them a good look!"
"That's right! If people don't offend me, I won't offend offend offense, if people offend offend offend me..." Leon said in a low voice, "Let him regret it for the rest of his life!"
"Rock Hammer, you immediately withdraw all the soldiers stationed at the border!"
"Ah!"
The rock hammer, who was ready to do a big job, was stunned: "Brother Leon, why is that?"
