Lord of Flames

The undercurrent is surging! The Silo family!

"Of course I have to report such a big thing, but not now."

Bishop Bauman walked around the room, thinking constantly in his head.

As a bishop in the eastern region, Bishop Bauman is actually a standard great character. It is considered to be the middle and upper class of the church, but it is far from reaching the core level of the church.

He has always wanted to enter the core of the church, become a real top-level great character, and even enter the vision of the gods.

The sudden appearance of the potato sweet potato gave him hope.

I have done bishop for several decades, from block bishop, to urban bishop, and then to regional bishop, Bishop Bauman knows the formidable power of potatoes too well.

If this thing is obtained by the church and the church controls the breeding, the influence of the church will be further increased, and the people's belief in the gods will be further enhanced.

His Bishop Bauman will also be so prosperous from this, maybe he will be rewarded by the gods, and he may not be one of the very best in the church!

But the appearance of the divine force mark shattered all his hopes!

It's just that Bishop Bauman didn't give up so easily.

As the bishop of Human Kingdom, in Bishop Bauman's view, the beastkins are uncivilized wild people, who can only gain some advantages on the battlefield by virtue of their inherently strong bodies.

This is also what most people in Xiling Kingdom know about beastkin.

So, when people from Xiling Kingdom mentioned the beastkin kingdom east of the mist, their attitude is roughly like this:

Those beastkins have to thank the misty mountains, otherwise they would have conquered each other long ago. !

Even if the divine force imprint prevented the church from re-breeding potatoes, Bishop Bauman was still a bit unwilling.

That was his chance to soar into the sky!

It’s just that even their gods don’t see any good way to the divine force imprint, let alone him.

But Bishop Bauman is not reconciled!

This kind of unwillingness made him want to do something strongly.

"If you can get some detailed information about the Kingdom of Flames, it should be a great achievement!"

Bishop Bauman thought.

Xiling Kingdom has always had ideas about the kingdom of beastkin.

Who made Xiling Kingdom be surrounded by two countries with the same strength as him, and if you want to expand, you can only expand to the east?

But several decades ago, the entire army was confessed in the misty mountains, and only a few powerhouses left smoothly, which made Xiling Kingdom dare not make a second action for several decades.

But the thoughts of the senior officials of Xiling Kingdom towards the kingdom of beastkin have not been extinguished!

Bishop Bauman thought for a while, and asked the Knight of the temple: "The supply of rice in the eastern city is controlled by the Silo family, right?"

The Knight of the temple said: "Yes , Master Bishop, the Silo family monopolizes all the rice supply in the east!"

Bishop Bauman said: "The Silo family is powerful and is the largest family in the Eastern Region. His family even has a genius magician. It is said that He has become Archmage in his thirties. Now that the divine bean of the beastkin country enters the market, it is bound to have some impact on his rice business."

Here, his voice changed. "However, Count Silo is rich and rich, and they have many ways to make money. Now the amount of divine beans is actually not that much. It may not attract the attention of the Silo family. You can go there and tell the Silo family's old man about our investigation results. count, old count has always been interested in the beastkin kingdom to the east. In the expedition several decades ago, old count armed an army of five thousand people to participate!"

The Temple Knight said: "Yes , My lord!"

The system of Xiling Kingdom is very similar to Lin Yan's journey through the pre-Western Middle Ages.

Large and small aristocratic territories are all over Xiling Kingdom.

Of course, the royal family is the largest aristocracy and occupies the most land.

In fact, the church occupies a lot of land, comparable to the royal family.

The royal family and the church together occupy nearly half of the land of Xiling Kingdom, and the rest is divided by the large and small nobles.

Of course, the common people received land for cultivation from these nobles, and then paid a certain tax.

By the way, magician and knight are actually considered aristocrats, as long as they register, they can receive a certain amount of land.

The existence of the church made the nobles dare not to charge too much tax, nor did they dare to charge too low, because the church must be the lowest, and the tax charged by the general aristocracy is 1/4/2021.

On church land, civilians can also receive land with lower taxes. The tax on church land is generally one-fifth to one-sixth.

The royal land tax is similar to that of the church, and the nobles have to pay a certain amount of money to the Imperial Family every year!

There are big nobles on top of the little nobles, and big nobles on top of the big nobles. This is the composition of the Xiling Kingdom!

In case of a war, the royal family and the church’s army can solve it on a small scale.

If it is a large-scale war, start conscription from the territory of the little nobleman.

Called up layer by layer, these soldiers are also armed by the nobles.

Even in peacetime, the nobles only keep a large number of private soldiers, as long as you can afford it!

The Silo family is the largest nobleman in the Eastern Region. The family has more than 5,000 private soldiers.

If it is a time of war, the Silo family can arm an army of more than 10,000 people from their vast territory.

The armed here naturally refers to fully armed.

A warrior's armor, weapons, boots, and the salary that needs to be paid are not small, they all need bright gold coins to support.

The Silo family can support such a huge army, and the wealth has been quite terrifying.

If you are not fully armed, but simply armed, the number of troops that the Silo family can conscript will be more!

Among the huge castles of the Silo family, there is a great hall with an exceptionally beautiful decoration.

"Bishop Bauman's letter?"

A steward in a costume took the letter from the temple Knight, and then took it to an old man sitting in front of the fireplace and whispered Read it.

Long letter, this steward read for nearly half an hour.

This old man is the old count of the Silo family.

After listening to the old count, he asked in an old voice: "Send someone to verify, let the temple Knight go back!"

Steward said: "Yes!"

About two days later, a large amount of intelligence was collected here in the old count.

In front of the fireplace burning with magic flames, old count was playing with a gold coin of Kingdom of Flames in his hand, listening to Steward's report with his eyes closed.

Beside the old count, there is a man who wears a magician robe. He looks like he is only in his twenties, but his actual age has reached his thirties.

He is the best magician in the Silo family, the young Archmage!

For an Archmage, being in his thirties is indeed young.

And the number of Archmage is not too much in Xiling Kingdom, no more than 30, of which nearly half of Archmage belong to the royal family and the church!

"This Kingdom of Flames, I am afraid that the background is not small."

After listening to the report, the old count looked at the flame pattern on the gold coin and finally spoke.

The Archmage next to him said:

"Uncle, their gold coin has natural magic protection. What's more amazing is that these magic protections can be combined very well. That is to say, the more gold coins you carry, the better the magic protection you can play. If someone can stand in a whole car of gold coins, I am afraid that the magic of the fifth-order magician can be well protected. If There are more gold coins..."

"Can you even guard against your magic?"

The old count said.

The Archmage said: "The number is too large, it may not be impossible, but it can only be prevented once, but this is still amazing. The most amazing is the combination of magic protection, which is simply unheard- of!"

Old count said: "Oliver, you don’t believe in gods yet?"

Archmage called Oliver said: "Yes, uncle."

Old count said: "You have traveled to many countries. Have you ever seen such a gold coin in other kingdoms? Is there such a divine bean?"

Oliver shook his head: "No. "

The old count stood up and his eyes were shocked: "This is the key. This god of Kingdom of Flames is probably a new god with subversive divine force. Let the Kingdom of Flames develop. , Xiling Kingdom is in danger!"

"Oliver, send someone to surround Sir Hawke’s territory. If Sir Hawke wants to talk about the law, then tell him that he has violated the Unfair Competition Law. The people behind the Kingdom of Flames are forced out to see where they are!"

Oliver hesitated for a moment and said: "Uncle, I heard that a forbidden spell magician appeared in the misty mountains. If the Kingdom of Flames is strong, The threat is the entire Xiling Kingdom, why do we take the initiative to be the vanguard? Bishop Bauman's purpose is probably not simple."

The old count laughed: "Oliver, you are still too young, Bishop Bauman really wants to Treating us as swordsmen, but this time, we had to be used by him once. Our family is too strong. In the entire eastern region, our family occupies one third of the land. If Kingdom of Flames comes over, our family will be the most First suffer."

Speaking of this, Old Count stared at Oliver. He was obviously not Archmage, but he saw Oliver's scalp a little numb.

Old count said: "You believe or not, if the Kingdom of Flames comes over, before our family’s army is ruined and the wealth burns out, no great nobles will help us. Even the royal army will not move!"
