Chapter 146.1: The Suffering of Governing (3)
Dont be fooled, young pagan noble!
The mercenary cheered for the opponent without realizing it. Saying the wrong thing here could cause trouble for the familys future.
Of course Johan wasnt the kind of narrow-minded person who would drastically reduce the familys status just because he heard a few words of dissatisfaction. But the mercenaries didnt know that.
To the mercenaries, the young noble had just dipped his toe into the abyss of hell.
Whether you believe in one god or two gods, what does it matter! Its our nobles who rule these countries, not the priests!
Johans words seemed to have struck the young nobles pride. Because the countries were mixed with all kinds of races flowing in, religion was also quite diverse.
From the monotheistic denomination on the continent to the polytheistic religions of the East, and the old indigenous faiths that were hard to find on the continent. . .
On the outside, they would believe in polytheism according to the previous Counts religion, but according to their roots, some nobles still believed in the indigenous gods. To these nobles, the priests of polytheism were quite annoying.
Those who carry gods on their backs and strut about!
Why are you getting angry?
Ahem. It seems His Excellency is a little drunk.
A servant quickly interrupted. The noble also realized he had made a mistake and shut his mouth. It wouldnt be good to let everyone know he didnt have faith.
Um. . . And the rumors that he is cruel and greedy are false. He has shown such mercy to his enemies, how can he be called cruel?
Johan was surprised by the unexpectedly favorable evaluation. He got a better reaction than he expected. He had thought there would be an uproar, shouting ! But. . .
In addition to Johans patience shown in the countries, his reputation as a knight also played a big role.
Although reputation had no substance, its power was formidable.
Once built, that reputation carried over to foreign lands.
And arent you warriors working under the new Count? Is it okay to insult your employer like that?
To be precise, we are looking for a new master now, so no.CHeCk for new stories on no/v/el/bin(.)c0m
The nobles expression was contemptuous at Johans words.
He was going to treat them as mercenaries working under the Count, but it turned out they were deserters running away like stray dogs!
The weather is quite hot.
Do you want to rest for a bit?
Its not that bad.
The sunlight was quite hot, but the air was not humid so it was bearable. When you ride along the forest, it cooled down immediately.
I heard that vampires dont feel the heat, is that true?
Our blood is rather cold.
The thin, pale skin of the vampires maintained its coldness no matter how hot it was outside. They claimed it was thanks to their cold blood. Johan wondered if that made sense, but. . .
Thanks to that, its quite easy to endure even when the weather is hot as long as we avoid sunlight.
I see.
It is said that if you hug a vampire lover to sleep on a hot day, you can sleep well until the next day.
. . .Are you joking with me now?
Johan was confused by Fahids words. It was a bit surprising to hear such words from a vampire knight who looked so sincere. Mercenaries love vulgar jokes very much, but. . .
I-Im sorry.
No, it was funny. You can talk about Eastern stories anytime.
Fahids facial expression brightened at Johans words.
Despite his fierce combat power, Johan had a talent for listening to others words.
When talking in front of him, people would casually reveal what was on their minds, forgetting about status and position.
Johans sincere interest in Eastern stories moved the Mulc family knights.
I said it because I thought you would enjoy it, but its not a joke. Vampires, or vampyrs in the Empire language, right?
Thats right, just speak however you like. I dont really care.
Right now, the Sultans most favored concubine is also a vampyr.
