I'm really a crispy French

After hearing that Leon refused, Marcos was depressed for a long time... After a while, he figured it out and felt sorry for Leon.After all, he didn't really want to help Leon at all, he just thought it was safer to follow this kind master.With this kind of guilt and guilty conscience, Marcos started to work steadily to support his family again. What will happen to him in the future is the future.

After continuing to repair for three days, everyone's spirits finally cheered up. Archbishop Abner completely made up for them in all aspects of supplies, especially the lack of weapons and armor, so that their defeated soldiers looked energetic again.

"You are the real hero, Leon." When sending Leon away, Archbishop Abner looked helpless and a little vicious. He touched Leon's head, and after he finished touching, he clenched his fists and gritted his teeth. But in the end, he could only say one sentence, "Goodbye, may your life be safe and happy from now on."

With question marks in his head, Leon got into the carriage.

"The calamity is over, and it is a big victory, so there must be heroes." The carriage started, and Eldy explained to him, "This is the biggest calamity since the millennium. A great legend that is all sung."

"Oh... It seems that this matter has also become a transaction between various churches and even the gods." Leon understood, "Do you think there will be Archbishop Herta among the heroes?"

"There should be." Eldy pursed his lips, "Don't you care?"

"Want strawberry mille-feuille?" Leon picked up his picnic basket from the side of the seat and handed it to Eldy.

"..." Eldy choked for two seconds, stretched out his hand, "Yes!"

Leon handed over the basket and spread his hands with a smile: "So you see, for living people, is the reputation of a hero more useful than a basket of desserts?"

Eldy opened the basket and took a fierce bite of the mille-feuille. The delicious taste made him squint his eyes happily, but when he heard Leon's words, he immediately opened his eyes and stared at him again!

Leon held his cheeks, saw him staring and squinting, and couldn't help laughing: Is this the cuteness of contrast?It's still the one that switches in seconds.

"Bang bang bang" "Open the door." There was a knock on the door of the carriage, and the voice belonged to Morifio.

Leon gestured for Eldi to continue eating, he opened the door himself, and Morifio, who was riding a deer alongside the car, put a large suitcase in the car, and then disappeared.

After closing the door, Leon directly opened the big suitcase, and found...

"Eldy! It's your egg!"

"Cough cough!"

"No, it's your ball." It doesn't seem right either.

"Cough, cough, cough!"

When they evacuated during the disaster, Leon and Eldi didn't have time to bring anything, including the egg raised by the seed of the God of Nature.The two of them didn't know if the egg would wither and die when it left the flower pot, but with Leon's condition at that time, it was enough for Eldy to hold him, and he had never experienced holding such a big egg, and it would only get bigger if it was connected to the root system .

At that time, Eldi was ready to lose the egg, but he did not expect to get it back.

"They dug it out of the ruins?"

"No, it should have been carried by the teacher. When I left, I asked Morifio if he should destroy the egg altogether, in case it falls into the hands of the devil and does something bad to the God of Nature. Come." After all, it is a gift from the gods, and it is connected with the gods. Who knows what will happen after the devil gets it. "I was very anxious at the time. To be honest, he will be responsible. The fruit was brought out."

The big white fruit is on top, and there is a ball of mud about the size of the fruit below.Morifio should have dug it out in a hurry, but the mud ball turned out to be a very regular round shape. It seems that Morifio's gardening skills are superb.

Erdi touched the leather-like surface of the fruit, and when he gave it up, he thought he had some regrets, but at the moment he held it in his hands, he felt a feeling of finding it again that could not be described in detail.

Suddenly, Eldi's hands trembled, and he looked at the fruit in surprise.

"what happened?"

"It...moved!" Eldi pointed at Bai Guozi, "At the position I touched just now, something pushed my hand...it moved again!"

Eldi put the fruit on the seat, lowered his head to listen with his ears, and it turned out that the thing in the fruit seemed to be able to sense the outside world, and gently touched Eldi's cheek.At that moment, Eldi felt that he had experienced the feeling of a novice father who felt the fetal movement for the first time. Excited, Eldi kissed the ginkgo fruit.

Leon who kept smiling: "..."

Bai Guozi suddenly trembled, and then fell into silence.

Leon fiddled with the fruit for a long time but didn't make the fruit move again, thinking that the little things in the fruit were tired, so he gently stroked the fruit twice.He turned his head excitedly to share his joy with Leon, and then saw Leon's expression - he was clearly smiling, but it made people feel chills at first glance.

Eldy patted the fruit lightly, and after he knew why it was trembling, it became as quiet as a chicken.Eldie sat down and kissed Leon on the cheek too.

Leon blinked and looked at Eldy blankly.The two of them are so close, they cling on, they hug each other, but the kiss...it's just the kind of loving kiss a kid gives to a parent, right?

"Don't be jealous." Eldy rubbed Leon's hair, "You are different from it, and have a different status."

"Okay." Eldy's kiss frightened Leon a little bit, jealousy and the like had already flown to the sky.

Next, until July of 74, they spent the long journey on the road.This time it was really long, unlike Fernan's aristocratic "elegant" rush, which stretched an apparently short distance into a long one. The journey has been compressed to an ordinary length.

"If it's a business trip, it will take at least a year and a half to two years to travel from the city of Diller to the Principality of Gretel." After finally seeing the border city of the Principality of Gretel, Meurifeo also breathed a sigh of relief.

Leon nodded in agreement, their journey was plain but tortuous.After breaking away from several major cities in the Muller Federation, there is no road?Although there were guides sent by churches from all over the world, they also got lost several times, and it took at least one and a half months to get lost and find their way.

Even where there are roads, the road conditions are not necessarily good.Where there is a bridge, the bridge is missing, and where there is a road, the road has been covered by rocks, which is normal.

Of course there are monsters and robbers, wolves, bears, wild boars and tigers, they are all cute.They encountered all kinds of monsters such as ogres, harpies, werewolves, human-faced bears, giant spiders and so on.What is even more unexpected is that these monsters often associate with local villagers or robbers. The monsters want to eat people, and the villagers and robbers want property.

Among them, the giant spider's lair that they encountered when they got lost and were supported by a certain village was completely glued together with the skull and ribs of humanoid creatures.Just the part that can be seen, at least tens of thousands of lives were lost here.This village is three days away from a certain city, and considering the situation in this world, three days is not considered a long distance.

But so many people disappeared around the city, especially businessmen from all walks of life, did the city not notice it?Through interrogation, it was found out that what the villagers did was not just a business to lure travelers, it was just an odd job they didn't have.What they do most is human trafficking. They pretend to be businessmen and go to the countryside to lure young men and women who yearn for the city to leave their homes.

But these people failed to go to the big city, but were taken to the village, and after various weekly education, they were either sent to the city, or they were "used" in a small manor nearby.As for the group of giant spiders, they were actually brought by the village leader as pets for the gatekeeper, and they have grown into a large group by now.

The second half of this matter was handed over to the local church, but everyone knows that the same thing will happen on that road in the past seven or eight years at most. This is the status quo of this world.What people with a sense of justice can do is to try their best to deal with the tragedies they have encountered and understood, and there is nothing they can do about the rest.

Leon and Eldi were a little worried that these things would disturb the survivors who were not in a good mood, but nothing of the sort happened.

"We have experienced many of these things, and we are accustomed to them." Morifio saw the worry of the two children, and instead comforted them one night when they camped out.

Hogan seldom appears on the road, the reason...he is motion sickness.It was okay at first, but when they went farther and farther, especially when they had to go out from places with no roads, after Hogan vomited for a whole day, he had to give himself a bottle of alchemy potion the next day. He fell asleep for a day, and since then he has become a night owl.

Along the way, other people also told Leon and Eldi a lot about the situation of the Principality of Gretel.This country can also be regarded as a polytheistic country, but it has the gods of the main belief, namely the body of nature, the god of flowers and trees, and two goddesses of the moon.This is a country whose main resources are flowers, spices, honey, and food.

Based on the experience of the Mueller Federation, the two children thought this country was a place where peasants wore rags and worked hard on the lord's estate until they died of exhaustion.At that time, when they entered the city, the two of them had a very good first impression of this country - it was very beautiful, very fragrant, and there were towering walls that surrounded the whole city.

When entering Morinya, the frontier city of the first Principality of Gretel, through the city gate, Leon was startled, and Eldy was also shocked.

"I heard that in some countries, the entire city is surrounded by city walls. It turns out to be true." Eldi's eyes were full of envy. "The soldiers' equipment here also looks good."

On both sides of the city gate are soldiers from the Principality of Gretel. They are wearing bright red armor, and instead of colorful cloth strips or gorgeous bird feathers on their helmets, they are tied with flowers. They hold spears in their hands. This combination is surprisingly beautiful.Most of the soldiers stood upright on both sides, saluting towards the convoy—Leon and the others, as the team of the Church of the God of Nature, passed most of the cities and passes along the way. Not only did they not need to pay the city entrance tax, but they could also receive official courtesy.

The road here is very spacious, and the ground is mosaiced with small stones. Both sides of the road are full of shrubs half a person's height and flowers just below the ankle.The houses near the city gate are very small, but they are not dilapidated dilapidated houses built in front of Diller City, but real domed wooden houses with ethnic characteristics. The wooden houses are painted with bright colors by the locals. And generally there are paintings of flowers or birds.

The sun was shining when they entered the city, and the colors of the houses looked even more dazzling in the sunlight.

The clothes of the local people are the same as their houses, with bright colors and complicated patterns.Men wear sleeveless vests and wide-leg pants, while women wear sleeveless vests and straight skirts similar to men's. Both men and women have long hair, but some are coiled up and some are braided. Judging from their age, this This dress should be married unmarried relationship.

However, there are also some people who dress similar to those of the Muller Federation, but the patterns are more colorful than the popular clothes of the Mueller Federation.

They rested here for two days, and Leon and Eldi went out with Morifio for a couple of laps to learn about the local customs.

He found that there are also poor people here, but Molinya refuses the poor to build privately in the city. Instead, they set aside an area for the poor outside the city. They have seen it from a distance. The situation there is similar to that of Diller City. The water area is similar, but the number of people is far less than that of Diller City, and there are only about 1 people at most.

On the one hand, the Principality of Gretel itself has a smaller population than the Muller Federation, and it is an agricultural country. [-]% or more of the population is concentrated in agriculture, and there are fewer destitute people attached to big cities.

They went to some other places to have a look. Also because it is an agricultural country, and its national power is comparable to that of the Thirteen Allies, the people of this country are actually not as enthusiastic as their houses and clothes, on the contrary. , the people here are... very lazy.

Although this place is not tropical, the climate in this country is very good in all seasons. Although the temperature will drop in winter, the leaves will not turn yellow, and there will be no such thing as Diller City that freezes to death thousands or even thousands of people in one winter. The situation of thousands of people.And the land is fertile, so if you sprinkle the seeds, even if you don't care about anything, something will grow after a few months.So many people just lie on the deck chairs in front of their houses and bask in the sun when they have something to eat. There are no deck chairs in the slums outside the city, and there are a large number of people lying on the grass to bask in the sun.

Unless it is the top department store or the like, the people in other small shops are also lazy, and it takes a long time for a thief to come out to chase them.They even met the shop owner who heard the door ring and said directly: "I want to steal something from the counter at the door..." Then they took a breath and continued to sleep.

The items on the counter by his door were damaged, looked like they were about to expire, or were not selling well.

If there are thieves in this kind of city, Leon suspects that the thieves are the most dedicated people in the city besides the soldiers.

The situation of the soldiers is also very strange. It is a miracle that such dedicated soldiers can be raised in a country where the whole people are lazy.

"They are not from the Principality of Gretel." Eldi looked at Leon who had problems written all over his face and said, "They are a famous mercenary race, the Kavato tribe, and both men and women are warriors."

"Oh?" Leon put his curious eyes on Eldi, so before they found the hotel, Eldi gave Leon a good science on the Kavato tribe.

The Kavato tribe is a wandering race with savage blood. The name "barbarian" comes from an old saying, not a derogatory "savage", but a person full of savagery.The pure-blood barbarians are divided into mountain and ice fields. The former has black hair, black eyes and brown skin, while the latter has white hair, blue eyes and white skin. What they have in common is that they have natural wild totems on their bodies, most of which are some kind of animal patterns.

Barbarians can inspire wild power through this totem, and obtain one or even multiple abilities of the animals in the totem. They are a powerful fighting race.However, the racial characteristics of the barbarians make it almost impossible for them to fight with external forces. Therefore, with the gradual rise of magic civilization, the once prosperous and famous barbarians are now squeezed into the cold northern region where the living conditions are difficult. , or in the jungles of the south.

Although the Kavato tribe is a mixed-race savage, their history is also very long, and there are traces of them in the history of the Third Epoch.According to ancient legends, this race used to be a tribe that the mountain barbarians failed in the territorial struggle. They migrated away from the ancient clan land and entered the world of human civilization. Soldiers make a living, and they train their children to use knives while they can walk.

In the beginning, these people could only receive some missions as cannon fodder, but gradually they made a name for themselves, and now even some small countries have recruited them as their national defense forces.

Eldi didn't know much about the civil situation of the Principality of Gretel, but he had a good understanding of the military situation of the Principality of Gretel.

"The Principality of Gretel is very fertile and has abundant food. It is famous for its spices in the world, and it seems that it is not poor. Isn't this kind of country looking for death if it has completely given up its national defense power?" Okay, so it shouldn't be courting death, but Leon still finds it hard to understand.

"So, most of the nobles in the Principality of Gretel live in the Cairns Empire, enclosing their Grand Duke Gretel."

Leon was stunned for a moment, feeling that his head was a bit incomprehensible: "Isn't the Principality of Gretel an independent country?"

"It's an independent country."

"But you mean that all the ruling classes of the Principality of Gretel are not in this country at all, right?"

"Yes." Eldi nodded, and then added a little more information to Leon, "Actually, it's not just military power, they handed over the taxation power to the five major commercial firms, and the management of the territory is by the five major commercial firms and the Kavatuo people. The person in charge, and the three major churches negotiate a solution."

"..." Leon was speechless, and he didn't say anything until they arrived at the local hotel, "It seems that sending us here was well thought out."

This is not a country at all, but a company.The descendants of the founder, that is, the nobles from the top to bottom of the Principality of Gretel, completely gave up their management rights and only paid dividends on the genealogy.The company was completely handed over to a group of hired managers, and the Church of the God of Nature should also be a real power among them.

Moreover, the people in this place are lazy and uncontested - this is nice, but the bad thing is that the people here have been turned into pigs, and their courage and hope have been exhausted - the rich, powerful and backers are here Life must be extremely comfortable.

Their hotel was fine, clean enough, because incense was popular here, and although the house choked to death, at least there were no pests.Moreover, the people working in the hotel are quite positive, they can see the enthusiasm for work and life, and they are not as decadent as the people outside.They waited in the hotel for three days before the priest in charge arrived in a hurry.

"You are His Excellency Leon, right?" Leon also met the priest who received him. "My name is Mombe, and I am the priest who receives you. In addition, I will also be your guide."

Mombe doesn't look like a local, with black hair and black eyes, tall and slightly fat.Now they are in Leon's room, Leon and Eldy are sitting together, opposite Mombe, and Morifeo is sitting behind them, Hogan should have come, but he said he is not interested in this kind of thing , if they have something to do, they will be responsible, and continue to go outside to observe the local folk customs.

"I am the Kavato tribe." Mombe smiled, "Your Excellency Leon, what you are about to own is a vast and rich land. We have already arranged [-] tenant farmers for you. Please forgive me and get When we heard the news, we had already arranged for them to start land reclamation, after all, it is already summer now..."

"I understand that your decision is correct. Where do the five hundred tenant farmers live? And besides the tenant farmers, can I get some artisans?"

"You think about where the tenant farmers live? Please let me sing praises for your kindness. As for the craftsmen, we have already prepared, fifteen households of masons, ten households of carpenters, three households of blacksmiths, and two households of charcoal burners , two tailors, and as for handymen, servants, and cooks, I think these should be chosen by you.”

He vaguely remembered that when he saw Fernan's convoy heading to the territory a year ago, Leon still felt that he was the kind who opened the back door and was different. Although his own situation is lower than Fernan's now, but It also has a back door.

"Thank you again. Then can you tell me how big my territory is and where it is?"

"of course."

Leon's territory, south of Yarman City, is a vast land with mountains, lakes, and rivers, commonly known as Wild Forest.
