Lord: I have a skill talent tree

Chapter 224: [Statue of the Harvest Goddess]

Ethan was curious how Leon could recognize him at a glance.

He even guessed whether the other person was also a great sword master, and could recognize someone just by sensing the breath of the sword spirit.

But he didn't ask after all, and instead said: "Your Excellency, it's a pleasure to see you here."

The man wearing a porcelain white mask was shocked when he heard this, and the rotation of the Rubik's Cube in his hand stopped.

Then, as if relieved, he relaxed his body and leaned back on the chair.

"It turns out that you have known this for a long time. So why does the Great Sword Master bother you so much to find me?"

As he spoke, the spider web patterns on the white gloves lit up with golden light.

And it kept flashing back and forth, seemingly on the verge of an explosion.

Ethan saw that it was a magical treasure. Although he didn't know its purpose, it was so exquisite that he thought it was right. He really wanted the other party to lend it to him for study.

But obviously now is not the time.

Moreover, the other party is too nervous now, and they may start a fight if they are not careful.

This was not what he wanted to see.

"Your Excellency, you don't have to be like this, I'm here specifically to thank you.

If you hadn't helped promote the development of new clothing, everything wouldn't have gone so smoothly.

We, the Lawson family, always repay kindness, so if Your Excellency the Duke needs any help, we will do our best. "

"Aren't you kidding the Great Sword Master?" Leon's tone was filled with suspicion.

"Sincerely!" Ethan replied affirmatively.

As soon as these words came out, the golden light of the spider web pattern began to slowly extinguish.

Leon first expressed goodwill through his actions.

But his words were different: "I hope that Parliament will restore the planning tax and virginity tax, and change the subject back to the Duke's Palace."

Ethan couldn't help but frown when he saw that the other party's language and behavior were so contradictory.

"What's the reason?"

Leon couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Ethan didn't refuse.

“Maybe you think the planning tax and the virginity tax are evil taxes, but I tell you clearly that it is precisely because of these two taxes that the southern plains have been so stable in the past few decades.

They must persevere or disaster will befall them. "

Ethan’s brows furrowed even more tightly: “You should at least tell me the specific reason!

It's hard for me to believe such an unclear explanation. "

"I can't explain it to you. Because if I explain it, you won't believe it.

I know you people too well. If you don't see the disaster with your own eyes, it is impossible to pay a copper for this.

Rather than that, it would be better for you to experience it for yourself. "

Leon's voice was calm, but vaguely angry.

Ethan couldn't figure out for a moment whether he was pretending or whether there was a real disaster.

At this time, Catherine's voice sounded in her ears: "What he said is true, he really wants to do this."

Well!

Is there a real disaster?

What disaster?

What does it have to do with the two taxes?

Thinking of this, Ethan slowly said: "Actually, I believe what you said, and this is also the purpose of my coming here.

But you have to at least give me an explanation! "

"I said, I can't explain it." Leon's voice was a little impatient: "If you believe it, the Great Sword Master, you will restore the two taxes.

If you don't want to, then we can talk about it after we see the disaster with our own eyes. "

After saying that, Leon stood up and was about to leave.

"Wait!" Ethan stopped him: "Is it related to the [Harvest Goddess Statue]?"

Hearing this, Leon stopped.

He slowly sat back on the chair: "Even within our family, few people know about this. How did the Great Sword Master know about the [Harvest Goddess Statue]?"

"How I know, it doesn't matter." Ethan sighed: "You still tell me what the disaster is?

What does the two taxes have to do with this treasure?

If it is really necessary, I will push for a motion. "

Leon fell into silence, seeming to be hesitating.

After an unknown amount of time, he finally said: "About fifty years ago, a sage from our family obtained a magical treasure.

There is a...god sealed in this treasure.

It can bring disaster, but it can also ensure a good harvest.

We were not sure this was true at first, and we were not sure until a great famine occurred that year and continued for two or three years.

From that time on, we established two taxes.

Most of the tax revenue was dedicated to that god. "

Speaking of this, Leon paused for a while, and then continued with a joking tone: "Doesn't it sound ridiculous?

A god who came to the world not only protects the people, but also requires sacrifices from the people.

But that's what it is. "

Ethan didn't have any thoughts after hearing this, but Kyle reacted fiercely.

An excited voice rang in Ethan's ears: "Master, there is no way a god can appear in this world! There must be something wrong with it."

"How can you be sure that gods will not appear?" Ethan asked in his mind.

Kyle suddenly hesitated and couldn't answer: "In short, it is impossible for gods to appear in this world. They must not be gods in this world."

"Alas..." Ethan sighed inwardly.

Every time gods are mentioned, these plane apostles start to look down their noses.

Ethan didn't know why, but through Kyle's words, he was sure that there was a ghost in the [Harvest Goddess Statue].

"He doesn't sound like a god. Even if he is, he's just an evil god. Just destroy him."

"Haha!" Leon laughed: "He really wants us to destroy the statue.

When sealed, he can create disasters. Once the seal is lifted, guess what will happen? "

Ethan has fully understood that this is the lesser of two evils.

He also decided to have a good chat with his allies about the two taxes.

But before that, he had to confirm with his own eyes that this was true.

"I want to meet that so-called god!"

"Are you making a final judgment?" Lyon said, "I don't recommend doing this.

If it is just to determine the truth and falsehood, there is no point in seeing him. It is better to wait for him to bring disaster, which will be more practical.

It will then be easier to convince your allies. "

"No!" Ethan replied firmly: "Actually, I don't believe in any gods.

Instead of waiting for him to bring disaster, I hope to strangle him in the cradle. "

"Then I can't let you see him." Leon smiled bitterly: "Who knows what stupid things you will do."

"I can understand what you are worried about?" Ethan replied: "But your worries are unnecessary.

Since I came to you, I have proven my sincerity.

We, like you, cannot ignore the overall situation for the sake of small profits.

I just want to see if I can solve it. If it doesn't work, then go back to the past and let everyone take this responsibility together.

However, please remember that it is for everyone to work together, not just for us. "

Leon fell silent again.

After a long time, he sighed: "Tomorrow morning, I will be waiting for your arrival at the mansion."

After saying that, Leon stood up and left.

However, Ethan stopped him again: "I'm afraid not! Your Excellency, please take the statue out of the Duke's Palace!"

Leon also stopped again, and you could feel him smiling through his mask.

I just don’t know what kind of smile it is.

Maybe smile.

Or maybe sneer.

"Impossible! If there is no barrier protection, who knows what will happen?"

When Ethan heard this, he hesitated for a long time, and finally said slowly:

"After the parliament ends tomorrow, I will be publicly invited to be a guest."

"Your Majesty the Great Sword Master is so considerate!"
