Sweet Water Castle. Leo saw two guards of the Lysit family carrying a wooden box into the hall. They threw the wooden box heavily at his feet.
The wooden bottom of the box and the stone bricks collided violently, making an overwhelming squeaking sound, which indirectly vented the dissatisfaction of the owner here.
However, Leo didn't take it to heart. Ever since he took this unfortunate job and came to the West, he had long been immune to such things.
And as long as the errand can be completed, if you get scolded, you can get scolded.
Leo called the attendants around him to come forward and open the wooden box.
The next moment, a golden light came into his eyes.
Without Leo's instructions, the attendant had already begun to count it. He counted it three times in total and confirmed that it contained a thousand golden lions. Then he closed the box again and dragged it to the carriage outside.
Leo coughed slightly and said to the little girl who looked to be only eleven or twelve years old in the main seat, "I have received the donation from the Lysit family. I would like to express my gratitude to you on behalf of the royal family..."
However, he was interrupted before he finished speaking.
"After paying this protection fee, my castle won't be attacked by those rats, right?"
"Uh... I'm not a believer in the goddess of life."
"But you took our money. In order to raise the money, I sold more than half of the jewelry left by my mother."
"Your Majesty and Vallia, the goddess of life, will remember you and your family for your generosity."
Leo didn't know how to face the disappointed eyes across from him, so he left quickly after leaving these words.
He came out of Sweet Water Castle and drove to his next destination in a carriage.
Halfway through, I suddenly felt a little anxious, so I stopped the motorcade and found a small tree on the side of the road to solve the problem.
Halfway through the process, Leo heard a rustling sound coming from behind him.
He turned his head and saw a gray mouse with a large bald spot on its back.
Leo felt a little disgusted and kicked a small stone at the bald mouse, but the latter was not scared away like an ordinary mouse. Instead, he just stood there and let the stones hit him.
Staring at Leo seductively.
At this time, Leo also finished draining the water, lifted up his pants, and walked towards the strange mouse.
The latter watched Leo walk up to him, still motionless, as if he was not afraid of humans at all.
So Leo stretched out his boot and stepped on the bald mouse's head.
"If you don't want its companions to come to you at night, it's best not to do it."
When the guards on the side heard this unfamiliar voice, they all drew out the weapons on their waists, but were stopped by Leo.
"It's okay, she is not an enemy."
The visitor was wearing a dark green cloak. The cloak was very wide and covered her whole body. It was still daytime, but with her appearance, the temperature in the woods seemed to have dropped a few degrees.
"How's the donation going?" she asked Leo.
"Since you took action, the progress has been quite smooth. The Lysit family has also paid. I will truthfully report your achievements to His Majesty the Emperor."
"I don't care about that kind of thing. Give me a list of people who haven't paid yet."
"Hey, hey, don't be so anxious. You have already let your little guys attack two towns and a castle, which fully demonstrates the attitude of the goddess of life. Now it's my turn to appear. I will convince those nobles to behave.
Pay for it," Leo said.
"Your work is done. Why don't you find a place to relax, have a drink, gamble a bit or two, and, well, you can also find a man."
"Looking for a man?" The visitor tilted his head, somewhat puzzled.
"Have you ever slept with a man?"
"No, I only sleep with mice."
"…………"
"Then you should try sleeping with a man. It feels much better than sleeping with a mouse. Trust me."
"I can't sleep at night without a rat by my side, and I don't think there's a man in the world who would sleep with a rat."
The visitor stretched out her hand, let the bald mouse jump to her hand, touched the latter's head lovingly, and put it into her arms. After a pause, she said, "You know the Arias family
?"
"Uh-huh," Leo nodded, "Ilea is your majesty's new female knight."
"Then it's even more unforgivable. She is a member of the Holy Family and should have shared His Majesty's worries instead of going against His Majesty and the goddess. The Arias family must be punished."
Leo was startled and then said, "Wait a minute, don't mess around. Forget about the others, you'd better not touch Lu Ye."
"Why, is there anything powerful about that female knight?"
"Ilea is fine, but the Shuangxiu Cult behind her is very difficult to offend." Leo warned, "Especially the Shuangxiu Cult's prophet Merlin, you must not offend him."
Although Leo's expression was very serious, the visitor obviously did not take his words to heart.
"The most powerful Silver Moon Church in the West, their holy city was captured by me and my friends. It's just a small sect whose name I haven't heard of..."
"The Shuangxiu Church is not a small sect whose name I have never heard of," Leo frowned even more tightly, "Merlin and his Saturday just came to Bratis relatively late, and the Silver Moon Church had several friends with him before.
It was a second hand, but I couldn’t get any good results.”
"No wonder the Arias family dares to refuse the donation. If I can make her change her mind, then no one in the Western Region will dare to refuse to pay again."
"Hey, you guys didn't listen to what I just said?" Leo felt a little unhappy after being repeatedly ignored. He didn't bother to explain and directly ordered, "Anyway, please leave Lu Ye alone for now."
The visitor's tone was still calm, but what he said made Leo even more angry.
"On this mission, the priest just asked me to cooperate with you, but I am not your subordinate and do not need to accept your mission. I will act on my own according to actual needs."
Leo sneered when he heard this, "If it weren't for the sake of Priest Cornelia, do you think I would care about your life and death? If you want to trouble the Arias family and Shuangxiu Cult, fine, then go
Well, when you make a mistake and fail to complete your errand, I'll see how you explain it to Priest Cornelia."
The visitor did not argue any more, but bowed slightly to Leo, and then retreated into the forest.
Disappearing with her was the rustling sound.
Leo's face looked a little ugly. He stood there and looked in the direction where the man left, not knowing what he was thinking.
After a while, a guard reminded, "Sir, it's time for us to get on our way."
Leo gritted his teeth and said, "Well, before that fool makes a mistake, let's go to as many stores as possible these days and collect as many boxes of gold coins as we can."
