Chapter 453: The Thank You Gift of the Council of Cuerva
When Linn knocked on the door outside, Aglaia plunged into the sea.
The waterfront villa in this mansion actually has two floors of rooms underwater.
There is also an underwater servant that looks like a siren.
"Hill!" Linn, who was welcomed in by Martha, looked very happy and greeted him with joy, "Thanks to you this time, I saved a lot of money."
"Shouldn't those rewards be paid for by the town?" Hill was a little strange, why he said it as if he paid for it himself.
"If we relied on the small income of the small town, how could we have left so many people behind?" Lin En shook his head and laughed, and found a sofa that he liked and sat on, "Basically half of the money is provided by the small town, and those of us
Come out with the other half."
Hill nodded silently, this was the reason why they had such a high status in the town.
"The main reason is that there are not many rich people in this small town." Lin En sighed, "Those shops you see are all related to us.
If Cuelva is attacked by thieves, we will suffer the most losses if something goes wrong. If we don’t even pay this little money, how can those ranger warriors be so desperate!
For professionals, there is no place to live! The hometown where you can survive is your home.
Moreover, Cuelva may not seem big, but it is actually very important, otherwise there would not be so many churches.
For such a small town with less than 2,000 people, it attracts a lot of attention."
Lin En showed a disapproving expression: "As the people in charge, they must not let this town suffer in their hands.
This time, the forest lady was almost tricked to death by her own believers, and she actually leaked the time of her hymn ceremony!
There is no way, these branches must hold a ceremony every month to awaken the tree man or tree spirit.
He had carefully chosen to hold the ceremony at different times, but the needles sent out to find materials were still exposed to the people in the monastery.
How could anyone like that kind of dangerous woman?
I don't know if there is any other calculation.
So I would rather be a magistrate than a minstrel in a church, because those things are too complicated."
The town of Cuelva looks like an ordinary forest town, but it is surrounded by the High Forest to the south, the desert to the east, and the Nese Mountains to the northeast.
In fact, it is the border city of the Silver Moon Alliance, but it is not so obvious.
After all, Silvermoon City doesn't need a small town to resist those high-level enemies, as long as those low-level guys don't enter the alliance in large numbers.
Those people in Silvermoon City are indeed very powerful, but they cannot be allowed to come out to kill goblins.
Hill nodded: "If you don't like it, don't participate. Just keep respecting the gods. I remember that the singers don't have many requirements for the priest."
"That's right~ As long as we are on the right path, my Lord doesn't care what we do." Lin En couldn't help but stretch, "This sofa is so comfortable! What kind of leather is this?"
"Fish skin." Hill laughed, "This villa is all made of materials from the deep sea."
"The things in Waterdeep City are really good." Lin En's thoughts instantly diverged to the largest port city in the North, "You can go and have fun in the future. Although there are a few dragons hidden there, they all abide by the rules.
Anyway, if you have money, you can buy very good services."
It seems that here in the North, when it comes to the ocean, it means Waterdeep.
Although other seaports in the North are good, they are not as prosperous as Waterdeep.
"I want to go to the university in Silvermoon City for a while first." Hill smiled, "I haven't learned a lot of new knowledge."
"Mage~" Lin En sighed.
Hill knew why he lamented like this. Generally speaking, half-elves who choose to be bards are basically scumbags who cannot learn at all.
Otherwise, if you have magic talent, you must first try to become a mage.
As for the love for the bard profession, just listen to it.
Don't think that elf parents will just let their children choose their future path casually. Those are all lies that are only given to themselves because they can't control them.
Even the giant dragon will beat his children with their claws because they don't learn dragon language magic.
Linn took out a beautifully made card from his pocket: "This is what the guy from the library took out, and it's a spectator at the university in Silvermoon City.
As long as you have this, you can go to university and take lectures."
Hill blinked: "Isn't this very expensive? I can pay for the tuition myself."
"This is a reward from Silver Moon City to the mages stationed outside. Everyone has one like this every year.
Hughes had sold them in previous years. Otherwise, he would have died of poverty just relying on the few scrolls in the library.
Don't worry, this is just a basic course, worth 500 gold coins, and Pastor Sawyer from the branch next door took the big lead."
He looked at Hill's puzzled face and couldn't help but laugh: "He also used some rare herbs to pay off the debt for Hughes.
The tree spirits in the forest will help Sawyer pick herbs. After all, he awakened most of the tree spirits in the forest.
So he has a lot of herbs, but he doesn't like selling them to mages.
You have helped him a lot this time. If the high-ranking priest from the monastery really takes action, he is the only one in Cuerva who can resist.
But Sawyer had just held an awakening ceremony, so if he took action, he would have to waste his divine grace.
Compared to the goddess's favor, what is this little money?
So he really appreciates you.
He originally wanted to come to the door in person, but I stopped him.
Most elves don't like strangers visiting their homes, and I think you are the same."
Hill nodded silently.
If this kind of priest who stays in the temple all year round enters the dimensional space, Hill will have no choice but to send Aglaia into the pendant.
They are a little more sensitive to divinity.
Although Lin En is a priest, he is only at the third level and has no intention of continuing to advance.
Hildo suspected that he was working part-time as a priest of the God of Singing in order to enhance his singing ability.
At level 3, you can learn the two magical skills of enhancing the charm of the voice and amplifying the sound of playing instruments, which are very suitable for several skills of the bard.
"Anyway, this can be regarded as a thank you gift from the members of the Cuelva Council." Linn spread his hands and said, "Rather than having to owe you a favor, it is better to let them pay it back with money.
It's fine if you're just a passing mage, but my friend, others will be wary.
I would rather spend more money than owe you a favor."
Hill smiled helplessly. Only a few people had already created so many intrigues.
He picked up the card and glanced at it: "With this, I can spend my own money to buy other courses, right?"
"That's right~" Lin En said frivolously, "You can change it into a small pink card if you want. Then you can directly meet the Supreme Lady~"
Hill couldn't help rolling his eyes: "I don't think that's taking advantage."
Lin En laughed: "Don't worry, if someone really asks you about it, just say directly that you haven't had your coming-of-age ceremony yet.
You really don’t have one, right?”
Hill said firmly, "No on the elf side."
Linn remembered that Hill once said that he was from a noble family, and smiled sympathetically: "Did you live in a noble castle before?
That’s really miserable! Brother.
It must be very difficult to have to mature early.
No wonder you can keep your composure and only leave the forest and come outside after reaching such a high level.
Those of us who grew up in the forest came out early, so life is really boring."
Lynn frowned and said, "If someone comes to you and you don't like contact, just ignore them.
I've already acted like your agent, and I still want to go to you directly. Either I want to buy something from you that I don't want me to know, or I want to take advantage of you.
No matter what, just ignore it.
If you really want to sell something, go to Silvermoon City or Waterdeep City to send it to the auction house.
In particular, do not sell high-level scrolls to strangers privately.
The Silver Moon Alliance seems to be in harmony, but in fact there are a lot of chaos inside.
Don't get involved.
Especially over there in Silver Moon City, something big will happen sooner or later."
Hill nodded. It seemed that in the eyes of those discerning people in the North, they felt that if Silvermoon City could not balance the status and power of those high-level officials, something would definitely happen.
Although Alustriel abdicated, he did not give up control of Silvermoon City, but the new Lord of Silvermoon City may not always obey her.
Even if Alustriel is smart enough to replace the city lord who doesn't listen to her, there will always be a day when she loses control.
But that happened a long time later. What Hill didn't expect was that just a few years after Alustriel abdicated, there were actually signs.
Linn had a traditional elf lunch here at Hill before leaving happily.
When he was in the forest, he hated the lunch of breadfruit and this fruit. He thought it was made by parents who didn't want to cook to fool their children.
But after so long, I actually miss it a little bit.
Hill sent Linn outside the dimensional space and was surprised to find that the first snow of winter had fallen silently.
Linn pulled up the scattered cloak behind him and said a little melancholy: "Damn, winter has come early. The town's preparations for winter have not been completely completed.
The winter predicted by those temples is only half a month away!
How could there be such a difference!
Every time the weather is disrupted, there will definitely be big trouble, so don’t come to us!"
Hill glanced at Lynn calmly. Maybe this world had quietly reminded the world that something terrible was about to happen.
"Hill, I won't come to play with you for at least half a month." Linn sighed, "Actually, Cuelva needs a mayor instead of letting me, the sheriff, take care of these nonsense.
But we can’t afford to hire capable people, and we can’t control the mediocre ones at all.”
Hill glanced at Lynn: What does it mean to be unaffordable? They are capable people. No one wants to have so many fathers on their head.
You want to be a father to someone, and you also want him to have extraordinary abilities. Are you afraid that you are just dreaming?
