After a long time, I spoke, and just the gaze of my eyes, I relied on the words of Piguo. Agan, and the official spoke of Viconniya, who was very particular about to forget to speak.

"My niece, Viconniya

"The future matriarch never speaks with respect except for some specific people.

"It's a great honor to see you, Earl." Once again, Viconniya was much more cautious than at the beginning. Just a glance left an indescribable impact in her heart.

Is this also the power of magic? It can be deterred in rumors. "No, no, that's the dragon's power. It's true that it's the divine power. It's clear that he is a mage, why does he have the divine power? Could it be that he has some holy objects on his body?

Thinking of this, Viconniya felt the needle-like gaze again, and she immediately stopped thinking

.

"I can't get out of here today, so let's do it. You stayed at the city station for one night, and I'll visit myself tomorrow." Victor waved his hand, and Isfir, who was standing by the door, immediately walked up to lead the way for the merchant who had been expelled from the order.

"Why is this happening?" Aps left disappointedly, until he sat in the room that Isfier opened for them, but he still did not accept the failure of the first negotiation.

"Uncle Aps" Viconia bit her lip and hesitated. With the encouragement of Aps' eyes, she expressed her guess: "Maybe, the reason for the failure is me."

"What? You!" Aps couldn't figure out how her niece did nothing, so how could it be the cause of failure.

"I think, that mage" is not. The lord has some ability to detect the thoughts or voices of nearby people."

"Oh, no, no, no, Viconniya. What are you thinking in your heart? Could it be disrespectful? Apse grabbed his head that was not left. He did not doubt his niece's words. Viconniya had a special sense of perception, and it was precisely because of this that even if his personality was not suitable, his brother and he would reject the objection and recommend her to become the heir. If Viconniya said this, then Victor and Wood must have that power.

"No" I didn't think of anything out of the ordinary, I just felt that he was too angry, not like an ordinary noble, but like a clergyman." Even now, Viconniya is still firm in her analysis.

"Why do you think so? Although he is the title of a nobleman, he is a real mage."

"Uncle" I can't let you really understand my feelings at that time, but that is indeed divine power. I can't be wrong. I've seen several other clergy with holy objects, so I can't admit it. That Victor Wood is not an ordinary person."

"Of course he is not an ordinary person. He can personally recruit the Iron Blood Emperor as a necromancer. He is the first in the eighty years since the advisory group was established. It is precisely because of his specialness that our Meadness family noticed him." Apus was confused by his niece's words.

"No, uncle" Viconniya shook her head repeatedly: "I really don't know how to describe it. It's not a holy thing that I have felt in the past, it is full of malice and evil thoughts that make people tremble."

"Don't think too much, Viconniya. He is a necromancer, so it will naturally make people feel scared." He patted his niece's shoulder comfortably, and Aps frowned. He was not unwilling to believe Viconniya's words, but because he believed, he didn't want her to think too much.

Is it a sacred object? Maybe it should talk to Barros.

Lucien, who came to Victor for something, happened to see Isfier leading two people away, one of which he knew, Apsmeardis.

The Meadness family has also come. "The countries have taken action one after another. I don't know if they are really optimistic about Victor or want to flatter him.

"How about the new temple?" Before Lucien came in, Victor knew that it was him. The divine power of the light of Mara could be sensed anywhere in the city.

"The dwarf's skills are good." Lucien had to agree with Victor's original plan and spent a few times to repair the scale of the town's former site. He was indeed right to spend a lot of money to hire dwarfs.

"Tell me, what's going on this time?"

"That's it." Lucien repeated the report of the priest of the earth whom he was in charge of Victor: "Dora said she sensed something was wrong in the forest of Te'a, and she was too dead."

Although he never asked about politics and did not look at the village built in the Victor Cuntai Forest, Lucien still vaguely felt the changes in the forest.

"What does the Holy See in the Light say?"

“You are asking me about my position?

"Forget it from your position, I'm naturally asking about the Pedro priest of your association."

"He" said this for his fellow comrades. Lucien also had a headache. He really didn't understand why His Majesty the Pope wanted to send Pedro, the most rigid church member, to Precia. He wanted to send a few more surveillance candidates Lucien had no idea, but why did he choose Pedro, who was the most inconsistent with him.

"Hmph, I know if I don't say it. He must have advocated sending temple warriors to inspect.

Lucien nodded, Victor was right, Pedro proposed to send a team of temple warriors to visit the small villages that had been built when he arrived.

"After all, you are still the title of governor, and you are higher than him in the rank of the sect. I am just worried that the old man will feel dissatisfied. I will send someone to trouble me if I violate your order in private." Victor's implication was obvious, let Lucien take charge of his subordinates.

Victor's words were exactly what Lucien was worried about. If Pedro really sent someone to the forest privately, if there was a conflict with the mercenaries placed there in Victor, I was afraid that Victor would take the opportunity to kill some of the church members who were dissatisfied with him. If this is the case, wouldn't my trip be in vain?

“Victor, can you

"No, before Lucien finished speaking, he was cut off by the lich: "I am the lord here, why depends on the face of the church? It was the Pope who sent people to me, not the one I invited them to come.

"But

"No, Governor, please restrain your subordinates, otherwise don't blame me for using the newly formulated law to punish the first person who dares to test the law, no matter who he is!"

The skeleton bell placed on the table suddenly shaking on its own, and the harsh laughter interrupted the dispute between Victor and Lucien. The lich threw down his pen and stood up and sneered: "It seems that your management ability needs to be improved.

Do you need your brother to help you train those ignorant subordinates who are ignorant? Lucien

Lucien stroked his forehead helplessly.

Pedro is really hot-headed. He should have seen Victor's methods and abilities. The only thing he suffers from head-on is the church.

"Let's go together. Don't say what I did secretly." Standing at the specially set up teleportation array? Victor asked, Lucien stepped into the array without any rejection.

A dazzling white light flashed by. When I could see the object, I had already arrived at the rebuilt Buhe Village. This is the headquarters of Taia New Village. With Buhe as the center, the village with dozens to hundreds of people was distributed in a scattered manner.

Although the number of people dispatched by the Mercenary Guild has not changed, the rules cannot curb the mercenaries who voluntarily settled in Precia. Over the past few months, several groups of mercenaries have moved in as formal residents. Their composition is similar to that of the Isfier Mercenary Group, either refugees, fugitives with minor charges, and even mixed-race children, semi-dark elves, and half-orcs. There are few professions to choose, either mercenaries or criminals. Independent domination like Precia, which opens the conditions for settlement, is paradise for them. After signing a secret agreement, the mercenaries happily entered the sparsely populated Taia Forest, which made it impossible for some hunters who originally settled here to adapt. Mercenaries are no more than other professions. They are like soldiers but have no discipline and binding power of soldiers. They are like criminals who follow them but do not have the madness and leave no way out.

The teleportation location was chosen in the open space in the middle of Buch Village. Because only Victor used it, when the teleportation array lit up, people stayed in the village gathered next to the array. The figure of the lich gradually became clear, and everyone greeted the lord who was willing to take them in almost the same time.

Victor nodded slightly, as a gift.

"What about the three?" The question was about Hawk, Rena and Dunan. Ruma, who had learned the introductory magic, was arranged by Victor to secretly build a temple in the forest. Compared with a few months ago, the three people made obvious progress. As for Alu, who had always been resistant to Victor, she did not return to the Alchemy Academy, but chose to stay with her brother. Fortunately, she did not abandon the knowledge she learned. Although her progress was slow, she became the only alchemist in the nearby villages who could prepare medicine.

"I went out yesterday, and a half-orc replied loudly, "Do you need to get them back?"

"No, I just asked Victor casually and waved his hand, indicating that he didn't need to look for it deliberately.

Lucien took the opportunity to look around. He had been here almost a year ago. The location of the tree house had almost not changed, but the residents had changed from hunters to mercenaries.

Feeling the malicious look, Lucien halfwayed and saw several mixed-race dark elves standing under the tree, with malicious smiles on their faces. Even if they did not clearly belong to the Dark Camp, they would not show kindness to a person dressed in church costumes.

Perhaps he realized that Lucien was different from ordinary temple warriors and came with Victor. These Suli and other mercenaries living in the village were afraid of the mixed race, and did not make any amazing moves, but just looked at them quietly.

"Have anyone been here these days? From the church?" Victor had no intention of greeting and directly entered the purpose of his arrival.

"Yes, the secret sentry in Lanka yesterday reported that a team of fifty people was heading north." Knowing that there was a temple secretly built by the lord in that direction, the orc who answered reported to Victor in a tactful way.
