Warlord: King of All Clans

Brother DeWitt himself was a native of the North. Although his family had adhered to the Holy Light for hundreds of years and no longer worshipped the Northern gods, he still had to participate in the monthly temple ceremonies held by the lord.

You can't just jump out and shout heresy at the lord.

Therefore, Dewitt only respected and admired the temple in the river bend, and did not criticize anything. He did not even mention building the Church of Holy Light.

It is also impossible to move the Holy Light into the temple. Just because the Northern Gods are willing to stay under the same roof with the Lord of Holy Light does not mean that the Lord of Holy Light is willing too.

Besides, once we enter the temple, it is difficult to arrange which of the two true gods will sit in the main seat.

Every Holy Light monk wants to become a priest, own his own church, and spread the light of the Lord of Holy Light.

But not every Holy Light monk is so greedy and shameless.

DeWitt decided to maintain a good relationship with the Lord of the River Bend in order to gain the opportunity to preach here in the future.

As it was getting dark, the investigation team planned to stay in the river bend for one night and leave the next day.

But Riverbend was still a small village, and there was no suitable place to accommodate the knights.

At Leo's suggestion, Hewan built a tavern with an inn near the dock early on to provide entertainment, food and accommodation for villagers and merchants.

Whether traveling by land or water, it takes at least a day to travel from Isenbor to the river bay.

If you can only set up tents or stay in villagers' homes here, and there is no entertainment, those small vendors and speculators will definitely have half the desire to come to Hewan again.

This tavern is managed by the old man Rusev, and the young widow Agata and two other girls work here.

Because it was the lord's property, no one dared to cause trouble, and the liquor business was monopolized, so the daily income was quite a lot.

Ulyan is by no means a selfish person, and Rusev, Valeri and Rashka, who have been loyal to him from beginning to end, have not been treated unfairly.

As soon as Hewan stabilized, they all had their own businesses.

Rusev's tavern, Valeri's blacksmith shop, Rashka's farm.

Although the output of these industries cannot be fully distributed to them for the time being, and the main income still needs to be used to support the construction of Hewan, Uliyan has secretly made guarantees and even asked Olivia to write the deed documents.

These land deeds would take effect immediately as soon as his status as a pioneer knight was recognized.

Leo said that he also wanted some property, such as this spacious and warm lord's house.

But as soon as he put forward the idea, he was chased and beaten to the beam by Uliyan and Olivia, father and daughter. Even the little mouse did not help him and cheered him on from below.

But such a small tavern with only a few small rooms and a large bunk bed was obviously not suitable for the knight's noble status.

Urian could only clear out an empty room in the lord's house, lay out a sleeping blanket, and let the three knights and Brother Dewitt stay there for one night.

Their entourage and guards could only squeeze into the militia longhouse.

The countryside in the north is so simple, and the lord's family is not rich. The lord's house of about 300 square meters is already very large, and at least there are a few empty rooms.

The smaller lord's house is less than 100 square meters and has only two floors, only slightly larger than the villager's hut.

The whole house has only one hall with a big fire pit in the middle. People live on the upper floor and livestock live on the lower floor.

The whole family eats, sleeps and lives around the fire pit, even when guests come. When the weather is hot, you can even smell the strong smell of livestock feces and urine coming from under the floor.

This was very common on the banks of the Arctic Ice River. Every winter, Agata would tuck the piglets into their beds, and Olivia would lock the lambs in a room with a stove.

The knights of the survey team were all from the North and knew the situation in the countryside. They were not overly picky and were very satisfied with Urian's hospitality.

Brother DeWitt stood on the wooden steps outside the big house, watching the dusk fall and the exhausted but relaxed villagers slowly returning to the village from all directions. A feeling of peace and satisfaction arose spontaneously.

This place where the holy light has never shone is so beautiful.

His heart was filled with tranquility and overflowing with holy light, and he had an urge to settle down there.

But some strange scenes also appeared among the people returning home.

A large group of kobolds, who were stronger than dwarves, swarmed out of the blacksmith shop and ran towards the public kitchen with extremely ferocious expressions.

The villagers returning to the village were already used to it, and they smoothly made way for these drooling, ferocious dogs to pass by.

A group of little dog-headed people, lined up in an orderly manner and carrying wooden spears, walked towards the side of the lord's house, went into the stable and disappeared.

A giant beast that looked like a bear but wasn't a bear, carrying a little girl with black hair and black eyes, also came towards the big house.

Behind them was a long line of one-horned boars, and on the back of each one sat a small dog-headed man.

Seeing a outsider blocking the way, Freya was cautious and did not speak, but pretended to be a stupid mount like the unicorn boar.

Under the little mouse's fake command, Freya led the unicorn boar team back to the pen behind the lord's house.

DeWitt first worried about the safety of the villagers because of the existence of the kobold blacksmith; then he worried about the safety of the investigation team's mounts because of the existence of the kobolds.

Finally, because of the existence of Freya and the unicorn boar, he began to worry about his own safety.

As an elven druid, Freya also has basic soothing skills and the ability to communicate with wild beasts. After arriving at the river bend, she is able to soothe these semi-tamed unicorn boars.

The little dog-headed people have lived with these one-horned boars for a long time and are rarely hostile to them.

With Freya's help, Sheks and several other little dog-headed men successfully rode on the unicorn boars and were able to easily command their actions.

After several times of riding and herding, the unicorn pig no longer rejected the little dog-headed man.

After all, they are usually kept under the floor of the lord's house, and can only be let out in the stables occasionally for a bit of fresh air.

Hewan had no intention of treating these reserved meat items well, nor did it expect to tame these beasts that were more ferocious than wild boars.

Only when they are ridden by little corgis do they have the opportunity to leave the corral and move around in the woods.

Six and the others, who originally only knew how to eat, sleep, roll around in the house, and survive as pets, are now finally useful.

That is to take care of and train these unicorn pigs, clean up their feces, and prevent them from stinking up the lord's house before the temperature rises.

After sending away the Investigating Knights, the trouble caused by Nelson came to an end, but it is conceivable that the Gladstone family will never let it go.

Ulyan could only conspire frequently with Rigolav, discuss countermeasures, and make preparations to deal with subsequent dangers.

Rigolov still had a very bad impression of Sir Nelson.

Although he had some estrangement with his second brother, when his eldest nephew planned to expand the territory, he opposed it at first, but later the other party insisted on having his own way, and he was forced to support a large amount of supplies.

Although the family's strength has indeed improved, I feel very uncomfortable overall.

But this was an internal affair of their Petukhov family. The pioneering territory that his second brother and eldest nephew had worked so hard to develop had actually been targeted by a guy like Nelson.

He even ran up to him rashly and asked if he could sell it to him!

In front of Rigolav, Ulyan did not hide the truth at all and directly said that he killed Nelson.

Rigolav just said "Well done!" and told Urian to go back without worry, saying that he would keep a close eye on the Gladstone family.
