It seems that Miss Clintina is far from being as bad as the outside rumors. Those who can survive in the real noble cemetery in Dellan will naturally not be troubled by such simple malice.
"No need, Lord Nehecha, are you a little too ink? The folk customs in Midenland have always been generous, and our tradition is to pursue simplicity in everything. But you still think about bathing and changing clothes. It is the long-term luxurious life that has corrupted you. ?"
Clintina drew her long sword, raised it high in the air, made a gesture of commendation, and forced Nehecha to submit.
Neh looked at the gathered civilians and winked, but no one responded.
Richard's staff was thrust into the ground, and the astral flames rippled outward from the ground, covering the entire square.
In just a moment, Richard had completely locked onto the few instigators hidden among the civilians.
The astral mana slowly spread to the soles of their feet like snakes, and multiple non-singing serial [Silence Techniques] were activated, making them unable to make a sound.
Only then did Nehecha glance at Richard angrily, knowing that the man in front of him was causing trouble.
"Nehecha, what are you waiting for? This is the honor of the An family. How dare you hesitate at all? You are like a hesitant and weak southerner now!"
Several conservative nobles urged behind him.
Their titles are not high, but they are old enough, so they have a lot of say among the conservative aristocratic forces.
Although these conservatives hate Nunalia, they are still full of awe when facing Clintina, the pure-blooded heir apparent of the An family.
Moreover, Nunalia's high-profile behavior and aristocratic tone and momentum immediately won their favor from the beginning.
Unlike Nunalia's sinister style, Clindina really fits the image of a pure noble.
And there is definite news that her bloodline is so pure that she can directly use bloodline magic to control the Duke's palace guards.
This is simply the chosen person of the Midden Territory. He must replace Nanalia as soon as possible!
In their eyes, those in high positions should be arrogant, and all of Clindina's rude behaviors should be accepted.
Richard looked at the several elders and nobles in front of him and roughly understood the general power structure of Binglin Valley.
The power of Binglin Valley was indeed stable before Clintina's arrival.
Because in terms of title, the Cha family is a marquis, the highest-ranking noble here, and the conservative nobles naturally have no reason to object.
But when Clintina appeared, a considerable number of old-fashioned people immediately chose to be loyal to her.
As a result, cracks immediately appeared in the Cha family's rule in Binglin Valley. Obviously, they were still unable to rule Binglin Valley with absolute power and strength like Nunalia did.
In order to gain more power in the Binglin Valley, the Cha family had to resort to the traditional rules of the nobility, but all these traditional rules were meaningless in front of the An family.
After all, in the Miden Territory, the An family was undoubtedly the highest bloodline. The power of thousands of years was like a mountain oppressing the Cha family's head, leaving no room for resistance.
What's more, beside these nobles, there are also some external consuls sent by Nanalia. They are obviously full of dissatisfaction and anger at Nehecha's behavior.
These consuls loyal to Nunalia also wanted to use this opportunity to overthrow the conservative nobles, so they tried to flirt with Richard many times and secretly compared several common bribery gestures.
Clintina stood on the spot and said calmly: "So, Nehecha, continue the tradition of tens of thousands of years of ancestors, kneel down, and then pledge allegiance to me."
Chapter 293 Shocked!The city lord knelt down at the woman's feet. The reason turned out to be...
I have to say that Clintina in her normal state seemed to be a bit beyond Richard's expectations.
As the daughter of a duke who grew up in the political center of Delran, what she saw and learned were the highest-level aristocratic maneuvers.
And in terms of being aloof and arrogant, Clindina has undoubtedly achieved the ultimate.
Perhaps because of long-term contact, Richard had long forgotten that Clintina was the first heir of the Midden Territory and one of the most noble people in the entire Silver Moon Empire. In essence, she had extremely good political literacy and a keen sense of smell.
Although the head is sometimes a little slow, the posture it should have never falls behind.
Regarding the attacks among these nobles, she actually had the sharpest instinctive reaction given sufficient resources.
In the eyes of ordinary people, Clintina is a high-ranking noble after all. Just a few simple words can make people naturally feel great oppression.
The gap in status has completely transcended all words.
The An family's rule in the Midden Territory has never been so easy to shake.
Nehecha knew that he probably lost to Clindina in their first confrontation. Facing a noble who was completely one level above him, he really had no way to resist Clindina's face-riding behavior.
He walked up to Clintina, half-knelt on the ground, and declared his oath of allegiance.
Clintina tapped his shoulder three times with her sword back, and then tied a medal she had prepared on him.
"Get up, Lord Nehecha, you have done a good job. I will write a letter to the head of the Cha family, the Marquis of Cha, General Dai Cha, praising your character."
"Dacha?" Nihecha's serious face almost stopped tightening, but he still suppressed his tone and said, "I am grateful to you."
Clindina asked: "Thank you to me?"
Nehecha squeezed out a few words through his teeth: "Thank you... An Jia, thank you [Clintina An]. I don't know what to repay An Jia's kindness!"
He gradually calmed down his anger, knowing that legally he could never compete with An Jia.
Although the current situation is not good, it is not too bad, and it will not affect too many core issues.
"Secretary, record it quickly." Several onlookers' consuls immediately added insult to injury, "Tonight's newspaper headline is [Shocked! The Lord of the City knelt down at the feet of a woman. The reason turned out to be... The evil god said he couldn't afford to offend him, Lathander is anxious to get married]."
With Clintina's outstanding performance, this attack from Nehecha ended early.
After that, it was time to clean up the dust. Nehcha did not take any further actions for the time being, but fulfilled his duties as the city lord.
Several conservative nobles surrounded Clindina. They eagerly promoted their children to Clindina, and expressed their dissatisfaction and curse against Nunalia in their words.
Clintina only responded politely, but she was obviously a little unhappy.
Those young aristocratic children who looked like human beings seemed so immature to her that they were not even as good as Richard, who was born as a mere commoner.
And Clindina didn't like the criticism of Nunalia.
As for Richard, several consuls took turns to contact him in tacit understanding, with some worries and reminders in their words - Nehecha's power is far from being as simple as imagined, and the situation in Binglin Valley is also worse than imagined. The ones in are much worse.
The banquet ended quickly at Clindina's suggestion. Clindina and Richard came to a palace built in Binglin Valley.
The palace is actually just a place where Duke An once stayed thousands of years ago. It is just a large stone attic with no yard.
This palace was originally located in the suburbs. Later, with the urban development and expansion of Binglin Valley, it is now on the edge of the residential area, with a very large flow of people and a mixed crowd.
The tavern and adventurer's guild were naturally opened here to suit the occasion.
Compared with the orderly and prosperous Warm Winter City, although Binglin Valley is equally prosperous, it is obviously slightly inferior, and the mental state of the residents here is far inferior to that of Warm Winter City.
They looked...very poor.
Along the way, Richard had seen many obviously skinny beggars.
But based on the total output value of Binglin Valley and the taxes paid to Midengling every year, this shouldn't be the case.
So there is only one possibility, some wealth has been embezzled.
"Mr. Richard, are you back?" Mrs. Eve, who had been waiting in the attic for a long time, greeted Richard at the door.
As a saint, she is not suitable to appear at the banquets of nobles. As for Veroka and Weiwei, they are very disgusted with the meaningless behavior of nobles wasting time. They prefer to stay at home and do more magic questions in the finale. .
As for Hui Xin, she shamelessly followed Richard, planning to be a spy, hiding in dark corners and trying to pretend he didn't exist.
She wouldn't leave unless Richard chased her away, not realizing her superfluity at all.
But this just suits Richard's wishes.
But this is the first time I have seen such a stupid cultist.
Clintina breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I can finally relax."
"I didn't expect you to be smart sometimes. Did you know that just now I wanted to control the field directly with force." Richard said easily.
Clintina said disdainfully: "I just didn't expect Nehecha to actually dare to attack me directly. He was a little too rude. When he was in Dellan, these things were only hidden in the dark side. His temperament It’s obviously not enough.”
"Nehcha dares to do this, he must be confident. The Cha family has been operating in Binglin Valley for many years, and has colluded with some cult groups. If he wants to do something troublesome, it will be difficult for us to do it." Richard calculated Nunnally Ya gave his Baal cultist gathering place and thought he could wait a little longer before exploring.
The purpose of this trip is to completely eliminate the Baal believers, the second is to completely eliminate the die-hard Cha family members who have disobedient intentions, and the third is to prove that Nanalia is not Baal's bride.
There are not many things going on, but they reach the same goal by different routes, and all the spearheads are pointed at the Baal Order and Nehecha.
Clintina asked: "When are you going to take action?"
"There's no rush. We need to get hold of the evidence and uproot them. Otherwise, the nobles' counterattack will be equally difficult. In the end... we need to be cleaner."
"I always feel like you smile so sinisterly."
Chapter 294 You may have entered... Barr's trap
The next morning, Clindina seemed a little bored.
Because there was no open space, she could not practice her usual swordsmanship, and her energy seemed to be too high.
But soon she will be busy, several conservative elders will visit her, and it will be a boring morning.
Richard was not in a hurry to investigate Nehecha and the Baal Cult with great fanfare. He took Momo directly to the streets of Binglin Valley to think about his next plan.
As a Baal cultist, Gray Letter will definitely take action next, and Nehecha and the Baal cult will not be idle in order to deal with Richard.
If their strength is revealed early, these religious groups will be hidden in the deepest parts of the crowd. Even the legendary mage cannot guarantee that every cultist can be accurately picked out in the vast crowd.
Walking on the streets of Binglin Valley, this winter town is obviously much colder than the warm winter city. The roofs are covered with snow, and there is ice everywhere as far as the eye can see.
The cold wind howled in the air like a sharp knife, but what was different from what I imagined was that there were many half-naked men here.
In order to challenge themselves, the disciples who came out of the Winter Holy Land outside the town were keen on wearing the minimum amount of clothing in the coldest weather.
Richard, who was wearing thick clothes, looked a little out of place. He could already hear people behind him discussing that he was a pretty boy from the south.
Richard didn't care about such comments. He took steps in the snow and secretly buried his magic power in the soil in the smallest possible way.
He is preparing to spread his astral magic power to the entire Binglin Valley.
Walking to a deserted corner, Richard took out a large piece of round gel from his pocket and said, "Momo, start multiplying freely, so that each of your sub-bodies can cover the entire Binglin Valley as densely as possible. sewer system.”
Momo chirped: "Rapid proliferation requires a lot of magic power."
Richard directly handed his staff to Momo: "Atlis, help Momo use the World Walker to absorb magic power. Make it as powerful as possible, but don't let Pastor Barr notice it."
Atrice reminded: "City Lord, without us, you will become very fragile, and your strength will be reduced by nearly [-]%, and you can only defeat an ordinary high-level mage. You know, your attack There aren’t many spells.”
"Don't worry, if anything unexpected happens, I will call you at any time." Richard waved his hand, and Momo happily wrapped Atrice in her body, sucked her magic power, and then "squeaked" into the ground. .
Richard looked behind him and saw that the stalkers he had thrown away quietly came over again.
He murmured: "Wanderer? Why does it feel like someone from the Winter Holy Land? It's impossible for Nehecha to unite the entire Winter Holy Land. This is unrealistic."
As Richard went deeper into the civilian areas, he found that the farther away from the central area, the more poverty there was.
Some residents' houses can't even be called houses, just straw huts made of a few wooden boards, where they have to spend the cold winter.
