Lord of Glory - Chapter 92: Collusion

Paladin laughed heartily and surprisingly nodded and said, “Harvey has been killed by me.” But apparently, this news did not surprise the Count, but instead nodded with great relief. Suddenly, he knocked on the table with the table knife. A Kaleqi, wearing a gorgeous carved with exuberant flower pattern armor, walked out from the back with an embarrassed face. Upon seeing Kareech, the Count immediately stared at Paladin, hoping to see something in his expression. But to his disappointment, Paladin remained expressionless, as if the one who walked out was not his beloved and accomplice, but just an irrelevant passerby.

“Your Excellency the Bishop, you know Kaleqi, right?” Paladin nodded slightly and looked at Kaleqi, who had his head bowed, and suddenly smiled: “This armor suits you well.” This indicated the confession of not blaming, which made Kaleqi sigh with relief. He had seen the terrifying power of Paladin. Now that he could not blame himself for the arm-twisting, he was also relieved.

The Count, with a smile on his face, saw the demeanor of Paladin and Kaleqi and suddenly stood up and walked around the table, pulling out the thin sword without the tip from his waist. Kaleqi immediately fell to one knee on the ground. The Count tapped his sword on both sides of his shoulders and said with an air of solemnity: “In view of your talent and ability, outstanding leadership and command. I, in the name of my Bunnales, Earl of Torch, ennoble you to be knight in my name and lord of Nurba!”

“I will accompany you with my sword, with my glory.” Kaleqi’s very obvious excited look showed how excited he was at this moment. Paladin’s eyes were wide open! He could not imagine that for the sake of gold coins, this Torch Count could be so generous as this! This is to give up the child to find the wolf?

“Get up, lord of Nurba. The formal rituals will be held back at the castle after the war is over.” The Count sheathed his sword and watched Kaleqi stand up. Paladin immediately rose from his position without missing a beat and congratulated, “Kaleqi, now, you have become a nobleman too.” “Heh, heh.” Happiness came so fast that Kaleqi couldn’t come back to his senses for a moment. Even at this moment, he still looks as if in a dream of demented look, inadvertently issuing a series of silly laughter.

Paladin laughed, but looked at the Count. Although the face is respectful, but his eyes have a different meaning. Torch Count saw this, immediately made a playful smile: “Do not look at me like this, sit down sit down.” When the Count and Kaleqi and Paladin sat down separately, he said leisurely: “These days, people often come to my castle to report. They say that you, Auxiliary Bishop, and lord of Nurba, have taken Nurba’s ironworks for themselves. Just when the duchy and Aixinzhe are at war, you guys have made a serious fortune.”

Although the count’s face was smiling, Kaleqi felt condemned and immediately confessed, “Lord Count, that was Bishop Andrew and the head priest Kanarawa both together.” Who knows that the Count did not wait for Kaleqi to finish, but indifferently shook his hand. Looking at the silent smiling Paladin said: “I am very short of money, in my lack of money, two thieves stole my home, and then blackmailed me to give them money to buy back, His Excellency the auxiliary bishop, what do you think?”

Kaleqi’s face changed drastically, but Paladin was very calm, with a little joy in his eyes and said softly: “If I were your Excellency, I would catch these two thieves and would have hired them as my own servants. Thief, get more benefits for me.” “But those two thieves have a leader, and they won’t leave so easily.” The earl was still smiling, but Paladin immediately spoke up: “Then just destroy the leader completely. Because not only will the leader not submit to you, but he will also try to steal your things. If there are two less thieves, sooner or later there will be two more thieves, or even more.”

Listening to this conversation, Kaleqi seemed to have some clarity. The original nervous face also regained composure. The Count suddenly laughed, the tone was full of joy, and Paladin and Kaleqi looked at each other and laughed heartily at the same time.

Paladin knew in his heart that the Earl was very upset by the benefits he and Kaleqi obtained from the ironworks. This is why he agreed to Harvey’s request and pulled the Paladin into the ranks of the priests accompanying the army. But now that Harvey died, the earl saw Paladin’s means and courage. Moreover, the Earl believed that these things were caused by Andrew and Kanarawa, and Paladin was only following orders. It was the diocesan Bishop Andrew and the accomplice Abbot Kanarawa who really kept hurting his interests and gold coins and hated them like blood-sucking insects.

He thinks this is a poisonous tumor. Therefore, he pulled in Kaleqi and Paladin to use these two pawns to deal with Andrew and Kanarawa who scraped his gold. To make money for him. But the Earl would never find out, even if he found out, he would not agree that the real black hand was actually Paladin, and once such a person gained more power, one day the sharp sword would definitely hurt him.

And when Paladin secretly played a good calculation, on the other side of the camp, Paladin’s doppelganger Alfred received Baron Hank’s order to go to the northeast of the bush to wear the scout team to scout the situation. The original scout in such a position, is not going to fall on the doppelganger. How can one be a knight, how can one go scouting with those civilians? But Baron Hank had a bitterness. Because the Countess of White Orchid, who belongs to the legion, was molested by the drunken Baron Hank at a banquet not long ago. After sobering up, Hank was very remorseful, and as a result, in a few days, the entire left army’s scouting task was given to Baron Hank to complete.

He still remembers the White Orchid Countess holding a whip and looking at Baron Hank with a disgusted face and saying: “It is a great honor to give you such an important task. As a nobleman of the duchy, are you able to molest me at a banquet, without even a scouting party?” The result was that the baron, who had only two hundred men, had to send out all his knights and retainers plus a scouting party of civilians to barely find the terrain. It was a miserable situation that he couldn’t say.

At this moment, the doppelganger who had just put on the coat of arms of the coat of arms of the light chain armor under the service of Salander’s attendant had just put a cross sword on his waist and stepped on the horse that was not covered with any armor. A man who is also a knight, with dazzling blond hair, a square face, and a curvy beard, rode a horse to the side of the doppelganger.

He said in a low voice, “Oh, Enos is on. I don’t know what kind of bad luck has befallen me. Alfred, you and I are noblemen, but both are knights! These tasks are obviously cannon fodder, but we have to do it ourselves! You don’t know, Baron Madsen’s knights even laughed at us last night, saying , “The compatriots under Hank’s hands are miserable. Such a foolish lord!’ Aren’t you angry!”

The avatar took over the light clip-rim helmet and put it on his head, and said calmly: “Dear Bob, the man you are talking about is Baron Hank, our loyal lord. Be careful with your words on such occasions. As the avatar said so, his attendant Salander also put on leather armor and rode up with a longsword in his hand. And when Bob saw the soldiers with hooked sickle guns coming and going, the soldiers wearing pot helmets immediately kept silent. When the soldier walked away and the wooden gate of the camp opened with a bang, Bob immediately complained: “Our allegiance is to the Grand Duke, to honor and justice! Instead of running into the bushes foolishly, waiting for Aixinzhe’s death The scouts shot us dead with bows and arrows! I’ll tell you…”

“Alright, alright, my dear Bob. Hurry up and go out to assemble. If it’s later, not only the other knights will have objections, but even our lord Hank will be dissatisfied.” Interrupting the idiot’s nagging, the doppelganger kicked the horse in the stomach, accompanied by the sound of the horse’s roar, bringing up a cloud of dust and galloping away.
