Chapter 141: The Undercurrent Surging! The Silo family!

Chapter 141: The Undercurrent Surging! The Silo family!

“Such a big matter must of course be reported, but not now.”

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

As the bishop of the eastern region, Bishop Bowman was a standard big figure, considered the middle and upper class of the church, but was far from reaching the core level of the church.

He had always wanted to enter the core of the church, become a real topman, and even enter the vision of the gods.

The sudden appearance of potatoes and sweet potatoes gave him hope.

He had been a bishop for decades, from a block bishop to a city bishop, and then a district bishop, Bishop Bowman understood the power of potatoes too well.

If this thing was obtained by the church and the church controls the breeding, the influence of the church would be further increased, and the people’s belief in the gods would be further enhanced.

Bishop Bowman would also be so prosperous, maybe he would be commanded by the gods, and it might not necessarily be one of the best in the church!

But the appearance of the imprint of Divine energy shattered all his hopes!

However, Bishop Bowman did not give up so easily.

As the bishop of the Human Kingdom, in the eyes of Bishop Bowman, the orcs were uncivilized and wild people, and they could only gain some advantages on the battlefield by their inherently strong bodies.

Many people in the Xi Ling Kingdom knew about orcs.

Therefore, when the people of the Xi Ling Kingdom mentioned the Orc Kingdom east of the mist, their attitude was roughly like this: those orcs have to thank the misty mountains, otherwise, they would have conquered each other long ago!

Even if the imprint of Divine energy prevented the church from breeding potatoes again, Bishop Bowman was still a little unwilling.

That was his chance to soar into the sky!

It was just that even their gods didn’t see any good way to imprint the Divine energy, he alone did.

But Bishop Bowman was not reconciled!

This unwillingness made him do something strongly.

“If you can get some detailed information about that Flame Kingdom, it should be a great achievement!”

Bishop Bowman thought.

The Xi Ling Kingdom always had ideas about the Orc Kingdom.

Who caused the Xi Ling Kingdom to be surrounded by two countries with the same strength as him. If he wanted to expand, he could only expand to the east?

However, a whole army was ambushed in the Misty Mountains a few decades ago, and only a few strong people left smoothly. This made the Xi Ling Kingdom dare not make a second action for decades.

However, the thoughts of the senior leaders of the Xi Ling Kingdom towards the Orc Kingdom had not been extinguished!

Bishop Bowman thought for a while, and asked his temple, “The rice supply in the eastern cities is controlled by the Silo family, right?”

“Yes, Master Bishop, the Silo family monopolizes all the rice supply in the east!”

Temple Knight said that.

Bishop Bowman said: “The Silo family is powerful and is the largest family in the eastern region. His family even has genius magisters. It is said that they became magisters in their thirties. Now the Divine bean of the Orc Kingdom has entered the market and is bound to have some impact on rice business.”

When he said that, his voice changed: “However, Earl Silo is rich in the enemy’s country, and they have many ways to make money. Now the amount of Shendou is not a lot, and it may not attract the attention of the Silo family. Go there in person, tell the old Count of the Silo family of our investigation results. The old Count has always been interested in the Orc Kingdom in the east. In the expedition decades ago, the old Count had armed an army of 5,000 to participate!”

The Temple Knight said: “Yes, my lord!”

The system of the Xi Ling Kingdom was very similar to that of Lin Yan’s journey through the pre-Western Middle Ages.

Large and small aristocratic territories were scattered throughout the Xi Ling Kingdom.

Of course, the Royal Family was the largest aristocracy and occupied the most land.

The church occupied a lot of lands, comparable to that of the Royal Family.

Together, the Royal Family and the church occupied nearly half of the land of the Xi Ling Kingdom, and the rest was divided by the nobles, large and small.

The common people received land for cultivation from these nobles and then paid a certain tax.

Magisters and Qitu were already regarded as aristocrats and as long as they registered, they could receive a certain amount of land.

At the same time, the existence of the church prevented the nobles from charging too heavy taxes, and the average nobles collected a quarter of the tax.

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

The Royal land tax was similar to that of the church, and the nobles had to pay a certain amount of money to the Royal Family every year!

There were big nobles on top of the little nobles, and big nobles on top of the little nobles. This was the composition of the Xi Ling Kingdom!

In the case of war, the royal family and the church’s army could solve it.

If it was a large-scale war, start conscription from the territories of the little nobles.

They were called up layer by layer, and these soldiers were also armed by the nobles.

Even in peacetime, the nobles kept a large number of private soldiers, as long as they could afford it!

The Silo family was the largest nobleman in the eastern region, and the family had more than 5,000 private soldiers.

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

The armed there naturally referred to fully armed.

The armor, weapons, boots, and salary that a soldier needed to pay were not small, they all needed bright gold coins to support.

The Silo family could support such a large army, and the wealth was already quite terrible.

If it was not fully armed, but simply armed, the number of troops that the Silo family could conscript would be more!

In the huge castle of the Silo family, there was an exceptionally beautifully decorated hall.

“A letter from Bishop Bowman?”

A housekeeper in a costume took the letter from the Temple Knight, and then read it in a low voice in front of an old man sitting in front of the fireplace.

The butler read the long letter for nearly half an hour.

This old man was the old Earl of the Silo family.

After listening the old Count asked in an old voice: “Send someone to verify, let that temple go back on earth!”

The butler said: “Yes!”

About two days later, a large amount of intelligence was collected there by the old Earl.

In front of the fireplace burning with magic flames, the old Earl was playing with a gold coin from the Flames Kingdom, his eyes were calmly listening to the report of the butler.

Next to the old Earl, there was a man who was dressed in a robe of a magister. He looked like he was only in his twenties, but his actual age had reached his thirties.

He was the most outstanding magister of the Silo family, the young magister!

For a magister, being in his thirties was indeed young.

And the number of magisters was not too large in the Xi Ling Kingdom, no more than thirty, and nearly half of the magisters belonged to the Royal Family and the church!

“This Flames Kingdom, I’m afraid that the background is not small.”

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

The magister next to him said: “Uncle, their gold coins contain natural magic protection. What’s more amazing is that these magic protections can be combined well. That is to say, the more gold coins they carry, the better the magic protection is. If someone can stand in a car of gold coins, I am afraid that the magic of a fifth-ranked magister can be well protected. If the number of gold coins is more…”

“Can you even guard against your magic?”

The old Earl said.

The magister said: “It may not be impossible if the number is large enough, but it can only be prevented once, but this is still amazing. The most amazing thing is the combination of magic protection, which is simply unheard of!”

The old Earl said: “Oliver, you don’t believe in gods yet, do you?”

The magister named Oliver said, “Yes, uncle.”

The old Earl said: “You have traveled to many countries. Have you ever seen such gold coins in the lands of other kingdoms? There are such Divine beans?”

Oliver shook his head: “No.”

The old Earl stood up, his eyes stunned: “This is the key. The God of the Kingdom of Flames is probably a new God with subversive power. Let the Kingdom of Flames develop, and the Xi Ling Kingdom is in danger!”

“Oliver, send someone to encircle Sir Hawke’s territory. If Sir Hawke wants to speak the law, then tell him that he has violated the unfair competition law. I want to force the people behind this Kingdom of Flame to see what they are. What a great person.”

Oliver hesitated and said: “Uncle, I heard that a forbidden magister appeared in the Misty Mountains. If the Flames Kingdom is strong, the threat is the entire Xi Ling Kingdom. Why should we take the initiative to pioneer? Bishop Bowman’s purpose is probably not simple.”

The old Earl laughed: “Oliver, you are still too young. Bishop Bowman wants to use us as swordsmen, but this time, we have to be used by him once. Our family is too strong. In the entire eastern region, the family occupies one-third of the land. If the Flames Kingdom comes over one day, our family will suffer first.”

When he said this, the old Earl stared at Oliver, who was not a magister, but he saw Oliver’s scalp numb.

The old Earl spoke up: “Believe it or not, if the Kingdom of Flames comes over, before our family’s army is ruined and the wealth burns out, there will be no great nobles to help us, and even the Royal Army will not move! “
