Chapter 54
A talent whom Luo Meng · Gerton entrusted must be pretty excellent . And thanks to his excellence, this talent was able to guess Lei’s true ability .
As a result, this obviously freaked him out .
The Gerton’s collar was a Viscount’s collar, adjacent to the Savage collar, where many adventurers came and left . But here was neither a convenient place to transport nor the place for those profiteers to seek fortune . The levels of the rookie and veteran adventurers, who were active in this place, were on the same one with mid-level Satan . A normal captain or a widely known master would be able to get to this level .
Those two were Luo Meng’s trusted aides, also his competent generals . However, they were also pretty formidable mid-level adventurers . Even the advanced adventurers didn’t dare to touch them .
The most powerful master in this Gerton’s collar was Lyons · Kvass, a knight and a bishop of the exploitation God Church . That was a relative of a God . People said that he might have reached the door of the legendary realm . Two hundred years ago, since he was convinced by the former Gerton viscount, he brought his companions here and established a church . In a blink, two hundred year had now become the past . He had stabilized his force in the entire Gerton’s collar . His power even surpassed the viscount’s . If he hadn’t clearly declined to participate or get involved in this time dispute over the inheritance right, Luo Meng would absolutely not have planned to attack the Gerton’s collar .
Fighting against a man who had lived two hundred years and had surpassed the limit of the mortal powerhouse as well as planning to seize the treasure of his old friend equaled courting death . Anyone in a normal state would no do such thing .
And now, Stelle, who should have been killed by that group of lovers and abandoned in the wilderness, does not only come back but also brings along a powerhouse, who might have reached the Legendary Realm 2!
This matter . . . This matter . . . This matter is indeed . . .
The head of the man in charge of monitoring had spun several rounds . He could not be able to find suitable words to describe all of this .
If Sui Xiong were here, he would definitely have said to him this line——wasn’t this the famous line on the internet —- “Indeed dog day”!
“Lei, someone is scared of you . ” Sui Xiong could tell that man was very scared from a far distance then pointed out for Lei, “What on earth have you done? That guy almost pees in his pants . “
“What else could I do? All these years, except for robbing, murdering and setting fire, I almost didn’t anything else . This bastard may be a thousand mile distant victim’s family or a lucky escaper from the pellet smuggling group that I have massacred . “
“Can you stop mentioning the fact that you have killed elders and kids . I am not comfortable hearing that . “
” . . . Who killed the whole family, elders and kids! In my whole life, I have never murdered an elder or a kid! I kill a whole caravan—–in that, except for the servants of the merchants, where the hell is “Elders and Kids”! Lei couldn’t help but claim his innocence against Sui Xiong’s accusation, “A pellet smuggling group is a bunch of killers whose blades are stained with blood or killers that kill people without showing blood . Who would bring elders and kids into a caravan?”

Sui Xiong was embarrassed . He giggled and then carefully recalled his memory for a while . It seems that Lei really has never ever said anything about killing elders and kids . I just guess based on the “family extermination to get the asset” situation—-if it is the case, then I must have accused him wrongly?
“Look, this woman is not too bad to save!” He couldn’t help but exclaim .
“Nonsense! I have lived to the point that even the bandits stay away from me, could only be a lonesome thief . Even if it is like this, am I counted as too bad to save?” Lei really wanted to constrain himself from spitting . But in the end, he couldn’t stand it, “Highness Jellyfish, please stop using Jellyfish’s morality to judge human! Even using a little bit of magic is still better!”
“The detection camp spell is based on a morality basis . . . I totally disagree with that . ” Sui Xiong continued, “Order is opposite to chaos . There is a boundary between good and bad . In my opinion, this place is worth discussing . “
“I don’t want to involve in such high-end problem . You find someone else to discuss . “
“I find that you really have knowledge, thinking, level . . . that is really suitable to discuss this kind of deep issue . . . “
“No! I am nowhere near suitable for this! Lately, I have almost gone crazy by those freaked problems that you talk about . Unless you want to find an insane man to discuss with you, don’t find me to talk about these problems!” Lei instantly shook his head, intensely declined, “In my opinion, if you want to discuss with me the “right now we are close the city, start to massacre, just kill as many people as you want to seize this viscount’s collar” problem, it would be no problem . . . As long as I don’t have to discuss these problems, I can do everything else!”
Sui Xiong reluctantly sighed, regretted losing such a good subject to communicate .
While they were talking, two horses had passed the city gate . They didn’t stop but leisurely walked toward the viscount residence .
“Gerton viscount residence was built 200 years ago . However, after a recent renovation and reconstruction, only the main gate and the main hall which is used for important family event and the inheritance parliament remain . Others are all rebuilt . ” Stelle was very familiar with this place . She could introduce the history of every place they passed by to Lei .
Unconsciously, the dissolute energy on her body slowly faded . Instead, she gradually showed a deep connection between her with this city . She was like a bad child who had dropped out of school just came back to her motherland after many years of wandering outside . Despite the change in her personality, the childhood memory was still freshly there . Piece by piece of memory surged in her heart . She somehow went back to her innocent kind-hearted kid time .
“This woman is not incurable . . . . ” As a God, Sui Xiong could sharply figure out the change in Stelle’s emotion . He couldn’t help but burst out laughing .

Lei sneered then interrupted Stelle’s words, “Young lady Stelle, the store that we have just passed has probably been renovated lately . I think Gerton’s situation is still very stable . “
Stelle was dumbstruck . After waking up from her memory, she turned her head to look at that store, thought for a little while, and said, “That store . . . ” She was deep in her thoughts for a while, still shaking her head, “I don’t have much impression . . . “
“How about we go there and find someone to ask?” Although Lei said “How about”, he didn’t wait for Stelle to respond but directly jumped off the horse, pulled back a passing-by adventurer and asked in detail about what had happened .
“Around one month ago, the store owner went out to import goods . He was attacked by a man . His chariot was tumbled . The goods on the chariot were all gone . ” That adventurer unexpectedly knew the situation specifically, told him everything detailedly, “He didn’t come back, hung himself upside down at the roadside . His wife and kid had also committed suicide, … after that, the store was bought by a noble acquaintance who then refurbished the store to chase the bad luck away . He has recently opened the store again . “
Lei’s face didn’t have a hint of change . He continued asking, “How much money do we have to pay to buy that store? Such a good location like this must be very expensive right?”
“It is not expensive . The store owner was unable to pay his debt . Now the lender has taken the store, doesn’t give out a penny . If not, how can his wife and children suicided . ” The adventurer smiled, shook his head, “That is to say it is still better to be a nobleman!”
“What happened to those debts?” Lei continued interrogated, put on the “go to the bottom of things” face .
“The poor circulation of capital leads to debts . Goods are lost, then there is no money, and then there is debt . If the goods are returned, then the debts would be also solved . ” The adventurer sighed, “Friend, don’t waste my time! This kind of matter happens everywhere, is it that rare to you?”
After finished talking, he shook his head, sighed then walked away .
Lei chuckled and unconsciously asked, “The merchant goods which have fallen on the ground can be confiscated . Many places in the Gold Coin Federation have abolished this ordinance . I didn’t think this place would still keep this ordinance———judging from this, I can see you are having hard time collecting tax!”
“That is certain . We are just a small region and the sources for taxation are very insufficient . If we didn’t think of measures to cope with this situation, it would have been really hard to keep our face!” Stelle seemed somewhat in pain, forced a smile then said, “It indeed needs to have many methods to keep a dignity . Who! But shouldn’t these brain-cracking matters be done by the nobility! I really do hope the federation could cut down those unfavorable taxation ordinances!”
Through the spirit connection, Lei sneered then asked: “Highness Jellyfish God, do you still feel this woman is curable now?”
Sui Xiong silenced for a while then wailed: “I suddenly find your recommendation very valuable, worth to try once . “
“What recommendation?”
“Block the city gate, directly kill, and seize this territory!”
Lei was choked, “Hey! I am just joking! I am now carrying a warrant of the Ruthless Hunter church . You want me to have another warrant . . . No, some other warrants! Moreover, this is impossibly possible! Even if you want to do this by yourself, you also have to kill all the people in this city . Or else, there is basically no way for you to seize this territory! I am not the Gerton’s family . . . “
“This is not right . Bloodline is nothing . It is just a two or three thousand gold coin black art ritual . “
“But why do I have to change my bloodline into this crap country viscount’s! After all, I am also a—–” Lei had suddenly realized something, hurriedly shut his mouth up, making Sui Xiong dissatisfied .
This bastard was too vigilant . That one word a moment ago could have helped Sui Xiong figure out Lei’s identity .
Sui Xiong reluctantly sighed, changed the subject to the last one, “This woman is incurable . . . Or we should find someone a little bit younger, a little bit purer . After all, a blank paper is still good to write on . “
“No matter how pure someone is, he will be eroded by the luxurious noble life . ” Lei completely didn’t have any confidence towards the noble people .
“Then find someone with a pure personality and a plain ambition . “
“There is no one like this in the nobility!”
“We do not find among the nobility . This is not some kind of two or three thousand gold coin ritual . “
” . . . This time, I must admit your words are very reasonable . . . “
Therefore, after deciding like this, Lei only showed up a little after the matter in the viscount residence was settled to support Stelle’s outcome . He then leisurely wandered around the Gerton city .
As for the reason, he didn’t bother to tell them . Anyway, no one here could stop him as well—–to be exact, there would be also no one coming to stop him .
The Gerton city was not big . It took around half a day for one God and one Human to search all the city . Coincidentally, they indeed found a talent, who was not old, frugal, not to mention a little outstanding .
-The library administrator of the Gerton city, from a branch of Gerton family, Olivia – Gerton .
-A talented fifteen-year-old little girl .
