Chapter 38: meet the duke
Of course, this little disturbance in the process won't cause much disturbance.
Looking at the extremely prosperous Lion City, Leo was quite curious.
Looking around, it made a lot of people laugh. It wasn't until Leo moved into the biggest tavern in the Lion City that many people turned envious.
The interior of the tavern is quite luxurious, with a clean and bright bar, and the brand-new tables make a very good impression.
But is there some mercenary warriors in the tavern according to legend?
"This is the Kent Tavern. One drink is enough for the salary of ordinary adventurers for a few days. How can they be willing to come here?" The second time answered enthusiastically.
"Man, you should also see that I just arrived in the capital, and I don't know much about things.
Therefore, I need you to tell me some news. As long as your answer can satisfy me, the dinar will not be without you. "In the tavern, Leo didn't emphasize his identity, but took out a large amount of dinars like an adventurer.
The guy glanced at it, but he kept a professional smile on his face, and he didn't look tempted at all, "Dear guest, we don't sell news."
bang bang... bang bang... bang bang...
Another three big dinars landed on the table. At this time, there were fifty or sixty dinars on the small table.
This is definitely not a small sum. Even this guy has seen the world, and the salary in the tavern is definitely not low. At this time, he is a little dumbfounded.
"As long as you tell me what you know, these are all yours. It's a good deal, isn't it?" Leo chuckled. The cold dinar is still quite useful now.
…
After half an hour of hard work, Leo also had a general overview of the inside of the Lion City.
In the huge Lion City, the Silver Throne sits in the huge palace, proclaiming absolute power.
Many nobles are mixed in the huge Lion City. The royal family of the Lion Realm fantasizes about the style of the kingdom of Ossa, and hopes to plant the flag of the Lion all over the Pande Continent.
However, from the narrative, Leo also vaguely felt that after many years, the national power of this huge dynasty was gradually depleting.
It's just that the terrifying strength of the royal family and nobles firmly suppresses all variables, but in the capital, there are also many important royal officials with terrifying strength.
Even the royal family must respect them. Among them, the Duke of Alama is the most advanced one.
"Hello, esteemed Baron Leo, I am the squire of the Duke of Alama, and the Duke of Alama invites you to visit his mansion."
When the meticulously dressed attendant politely said these words in front of Leo, it undoubtedly attracted the attention of many people.
"Did you hear that? It's a baron, and he was invited by the Duke of Alama." A guest whispered, looking quite different.
"My eyes... ugh, my ears are not blind... not deaf." The friends around him were obviously a little drunk, but they still maintained basic consciousness.
Most of the people here are people of some status, and they naturally have some understanding of the identity and status of the Duke of Alama.
Of course, there are no high-ranking people, but whoever has some background, who doesn't have a mansion in the capital?
Therefore, when everyone heard that Leo received the invitation from the Duke of Alama, they were extremely surprised, and everyone was vaguely curious about Leo's identity.
…
The tall and single-family mansion stands very wide, and all the decorations are extravagant. The two eighth-order Great River City sentries standing guard at the entrance have further improved the specifications of this mansion.
"Kevin, Wilt, and Moore's team battles all mentioned you in the letters to me, and they all gave you a good evaluation." Duke Alama's voice still contained a bit of sonorousness.
This is a sturdy man with a physique comparable to that of a wild bear. His whole body shows the beauty of strength. Even if his body is majestic, when talking with Leo, his clothes are never loose.
This is a person with a high degree of self-discipline. Leo gave such a definition, and when talking, his impression of the duke in front of him became better and better.
The Duke of Alama is much easier to deal with than his slippery son.
"Especially Captain Moore, he asked me to take care of you to a certain extent. I have a very good relationship with me, so boy, you are lucky." Duke Alama said cheerfully, "In the capital, I will put Not much injustice."
Commander Moore is the commander of the horn summoning knights. The headquarters of the knights is in the Great River City. Naturally, the relationship between the two will not be bad.
"Thank you, Lord Duke." Leo was naturally delighted. He naturally knew what kind of character the Duke of Alama was in front of him. Even King Ulric would have to sell some face.
Especially under the command of the opponent, there are terrifying lion knights, and there are also a huge number of horns to summon rangers. The strength of the opponent, looking at the entire Pande, is also extremely high, and its status is naturally even more terrifying.
Captain Moore, he is really helping himself in the snow. Before, he was worried that he was unfamiliar with his life in Wangdu and didn't have a backer.
"Okay, Wilt told me before that you fought with those ogres or something? I came to you to ask about this." As if thinking of something, the Duke spoke again.
"That should be a creature from a different continent, coming from afar," Leo said with a slight frown, "similar to the old Noldor elves.
After crossing the ocean, these ogres and goblins numbered in a hundred. When I first encountered them, they were still robbing villagers like robbers.
But later, they started to besiege the Great River City directly, especially in that battle, there was also a conspiracy of the Southern Snake Cult. "
"Well, I heard that Martis did it himself, hum, that woman is extraordinary, and it is normal to hurt the unsuspecting Captain Moore." Duke Alama hummed softly, but obviously no one mentioned it when he said it. that kind of fear.
"Do you also think that those ogres have something to do with snake worship?" Duke Alama seemed to have thought of something, and then asked.
Huh?
Leo was taken aback for a moment. He didn't expect that when the Snake Cult almost took the initiative to declare responsibility for the siege incident, Duke Alama actually suspected that he had little to do with the other party?
Although Leo felt the same way in his heart, he knew that the ogre was besieging the city because of the fragments of his dragon flag.
But all of this, the Duke of Alama in front of him doesn't know, why is he so suspicious?
"Hmm..." Leo hesitated slightly.
"Don't think too much, know what to say, guess what." Duke Alama frowned slightly.
"Lord Duke, I feel that those ogres and goblins don't seem to have much to do with each other," Leo also said, "It can be seen that they cooperated quite hastily.
Moreover, before the ogres were learning robbers and looting, if it was really related to the Snake Cult, they would not be so poor, nor would they besiege the city with such strength.
That's basically hitting a stone with an egg, so I feel that the ogre doesn't seem to have much to do with the Snake Cult. "
"Yes, I also have such a guess, but after all, you have never seen it with your own eyes. You can also have such an idea, which shows that my guess is good." Duke Alama said lightly.
"But whether those ogres are related to the Snake Cult or not, it's not necessary.
Governor Wilt told me about the ogres and the goblins before the siege.
Of course, it was also because of your notification that prompted him to make a decision. The Duke of Alama looked at Leo in front of him and said, "That is to send the Knights to clean up those ogres, so as to prevent them from causing more harm in the future. "
Leo understands that this is a normal thing. After all, robbers are still sensible and know what can be offended and what can't be offended.
But those ogres cannot communicate with each other. Naturally, it is best to eliminate them, so as not to suffer the people who come and go and affect the prosperity of the Great River City.
"By the way, the Duke, I have another request. I want you to help me meet His Majesty Ulrike." Leo thought for a while, and then said.
He is a country noble. If nothing else, it is still difficult to meet the king.
Even if he brought the glazed lion, who knows when the king will see him? There are simply too many risk factors.
But if the duke in front of him was introduced on his behalf, the surprise might be much smaller.
"Oh?" Duke Alama obviously didn't expect that Leo would make a request so soon after he said he wanted to take care of the other party.
"You want to see King Ulric?" Duke Alama was obviously surprised by Leo's request, "Kings are not that easy to deal with.
If you are an ordinary person and ask for an opinion rashly, even if you are a noble in the field, it will inevitably cause unpleasant troubles. "The nobles on the ground are still privileged in many ways.
"There is an extremely important matter that must be reported to His Majesty the King," Leo said calmly, "I am sure that His Majesty the King will not take anger on me."
Picking grains from the fire, even though Leo's family has already taken shape, he has hugged a lot of thighs, but he is still too weak.
If you want to operate something, you still have to get close to the master of the fierce lion realm, so that you can develop faster. Of course, risks and opportunities coexist.
"Okay," Duke Alama glanced at Leo again, and he could see the determination of the other party, so he stopped persuading, "There will be a dinner party in the palace tomorrow. After the dinner party, I will arrange for His Majesty to meet you."
"Thank you, Lord Duke." For a moment, Leo was overjoyed. After confirming everything, he thanked him and left.
On the way back, a big problem was solved. Leo only felt that he was walking lightly, but after returning to the tavern to lie down, Leo suddenly froze slightly.
The next moment, Leo sat up abruptly with a look of shock on his face. It was the flow of information that had entered his mind from the wordless book before.
It was difficult for him to contact him before, but now it was the master who opened it up a bit, and the vague words in the headline made him frown even more.
