Chapter 190 Leon doesn’t like middlemen making the difference!
The moment Leon's words fell, Anthos Birch fell into confusion.
Although these days of torture have brought him to the verge of collapse, but...he had always thought that his hearing should not have problems yet.
He opened his eyes wide, trying hard to see the blurry figure in front of him clearly despite the extreme dizziness.
It's just that...
Seeing that the prisoner in front of him has not yet given an answer, Leon has become a little impatient: "How can I become a believer in the restoration of the country? This is the last time I ask!" This time,
Ansos I was very sure that I heard the question of the nobleman in front of me clearly.
It seems...possible...probably...
the nobleman in front of him is asking himself how he can become a relic believer in the restoration of the country?
This caused his brain to shut down for a while.
...
Leon has been patiently observing the prisoner in front of him.
Of course he didn't really want to be a part of it.
The remnants of the Fuguo Kingdom are notorious throughout the Northern Continent, and their reputation is roughly the same as that of the terrorist organization in the previous life.
Leaving a good nobleman alone, he would not pursue anything like eternal life and become a relic believer in the restoration of the country.
Pursue eternal life!
If the revival of the Holy Brun Empire has always been the slogan of the restoration of the remnants of the country, then the pursuit of immortality is the fundamental reason why this notorious organization can drag many nobles into the water.
In fact, this is not difficult to understand.
The nobles were powerful, had soldiers and food, and already had everything they could.
The only thing missing is eternal life.
The remnant of the past might have simply wanted to restore the glory of the Holy Brun Empire, but now, this slogan is just a slogan, and its spiritual core has long since changed.
It is precisely for this reason that this group of people is called believers!
The reason why Leon chose to use "Become a relic believer in the restoration of the country" as his opening chapter is naturally because he hopes to avoid all possible risks.
Just like the World Tree in the abandoned land, I can sense the vigorous vitality of the World Tree saplings growing in Antolia.
Each of the remnant believers has a tattoo that contains magical power.
In Leon's view, it is probably a magic text circuit that he cannot understand yet. Once a believer thinks he has betrayed, the emotion of repentance will resonate with the magic text circuit, causing the believer's body to be engulfed in raging fire. reduced to ashes.
To sum up, Leon was not in a hurry to interrogate the prisoner in front of him before.
First let him be tortured and treated for more than half a month, and then interrogate him when his spirit is almost broken. How can he care about creating a feeling of repentance in his mind?
What's more...
Leon is talking about joining the remnants of the restoration of the country!
This is the double insurance that Leon added to this interrogation!
And just as Leon expected, when Leon asked, Ansos was already prepared to be burned by fire.
But what he didn't expect was...
the purpose of this nobleman who tortured himself for so long was to become a relic believer in the restoration of the country?
Perhaps in the past, Ansos would have doubted and pondered.
But now... How can Ansos's spirit, which is on the verge of collapse, allow him to think about these things?
Of course, it doesn't matter if you have doubts.
Because just when Ansos was hesitating to speak, a skull head with dull eyes appeared from behind Leon.
That was the vegetable-growing skeleton that Leon brought back from the abandoned land!
A dark cell, a skeleton with empty eyes, and a nobleman looking at him sincerely...
This scene, this conversation...
No matter how you look at it, Leon's words don't seem to be false!
And even before he became a relic believer of the restoration of the country, he even made a skeleton. This is simply a self-taught, extremely pious, SSS-level wild believer who cares about eternal life and brings his own wealth!
"As the only marquis in the Kingdom of Andal, the power of the Jimena family will never be weaker than that of the other nobles. If they have my help, it will definitely be beneficial and harmless to the survivors of the restoration of the country."
" Okay, I say!"
Ansos almost exhausted all his strength and nodded heavily.
...
When Leon finally walked out of the dungeon, the bright warm sun swayed on his shoulders, dispelling the gloom behind him.
This trial was very fruitful.
Among the remnant believers in the restoration of the country, Ansos can be regarded as a middle-level person who is highly appreciated by his superiors.
It was precisely this identity that allowed Leon to not only pry out many secrets about the survivors of the restoration of the country from his mouth, but also allow him to have more detailed considerations about his plan to send troops to the Duke of Norton.
The reason why the survivors of the restoration of the country suddenly jumped out was naturally impossible for no reason.
According to Ansos, only war can cover up the large-scale and large-scale disappearance of a large number of people, and allow the survivors of the restoration of the country to capture enough "bait" in the chaos of the Principality of Norton.
As for the reason for doing this, I am afraid only the few actual controllers of the remnants of the restoration of the country can know.
But although the specific reason was not clear, it made Leon more determined to send troops.
Anyway, what the survivors of the restoration of the country plan is definitely not a good thing!
As a messenger of peace, a representative of friendship, and a good-hearted Leon, naturally he will not just sit back and ignore this.
If the refugees that were supposed to be caused by the war were all ruined by the restoration of the country, then where would Leon pack up the refugees to open up the abandoned land? !
You know, the vast territory of the Abandoned Land cannot be developed with the hundreds of thousands of citizens in Antolia!
This is the most direct conflict between the Jimena family and the remnants of the restoration of the country!
But to be honest, for Leon, the inclusion of the survivors of the restoration of the country is not all a bad thing.
After all...
if you plan it properly, there is a lot to be done here!
Although this is a world with magical power, the feudal fief system is the cornerstone of the political system of this era.
As a time traveler, dividing territories and ennobling vassals will always be a last resort.
How fragrant is the direct-administered territory! There is no middleman to make the difference!
If the territory that he had worked so hard to acquire from the Duke of Norton would eventually be divided, Leon would be really heartbroken.
So in fact, before he decided to send troops, Leon had already made plans. Even if he had the negative effect of losing 10 favorability points with his vassals, he would completely cut off the possibility of entering the Abandoned Land from the northwest!
And now...
with the remnant of the restoration of the country in the south of the Principality of Norton, there are naturally many more means for Leon to conduct secret operations.
The territory that the Antolian people built with their lives must be under direct administration!
