Chapter 341 Heavy losses
"You country bumpkin! My family is the Bengtson of Yungang! Don't mess around!"

Levi and Stellan were shocked when they heard Ron's words. When they saw that the half-elf and the goblin actually drew their weapons and approached them, and the priest began to cast a spell, their hands unconsciously fell on their weapons and magic tools.

It is difficult for ordinary people to live, and it is not easy to become a noble. If you don’t have some skills, you can’t maintain your status just by bloodline.

Levi Bengtson reached for the swift sword at his waist, feeling relieved. In Yungang, he had killed three people in a duel and even disfigured the youngest son of the Holt family! He was just a rural landowner in the inland area, what was there to be afraid of...

However, before Levi could even come to his senses, the light in the entire church suddenly dimmed. In front of the shrines of the gods Tymora and Tyr, the candlelight flickered and the burning wicks made a slight whistle. The next moment, a pair of hands whiter than jade carvings and colder than ice were placed on Levi and Stellan's necks respectively.

"Relax, it won't hurt." Sylvia's voice sounded like the whisper of a devil in purgatory to them, "But if you dare to act rashly, I can't guarantee it."

"Magician?! I didn't expect there would be such a character in this little fantasy land, but you chose the wrong place, and you are the one who shouldn't act rashly!" Although his throat had been lightly strangled, Stellan's mouth was still shockingly hard, "You should be a necromancer, right? You don't want to do it in the church of the righteous God - let us go!"

"You don't really think that Sylvia will be punished by God on her own territory?" Ivy smiled disdainfully, and a fiery red sword immediately appeared in her hand. "Just control them, and we will do the fighting."

"Isn't this to 'cure' them? Whether they are mortals or gods, they will definitely understand."

Levi and Stellan tried to break free from Sylvia's control, but what was shocking was that this woman, who looked extremely thin except for her chest, was surprisingly strong. With just one hand, she was able to prevent two adult men from breaking free. They could only watch the sword and dagger getting closer and closer to them!

"Stop! Stop! We were not attacked by monsters! We staged this all by ourselves! Is this enough?"

Seeing death getting closer and closer to him, Levi finally couldn't hold on any longer and shouted loudly: "Sir Ron, tell your men to put down their weapons! Stay away from me!"

"Wouldn't it have been better if we did this earlier?" Ron waved his hand to signal everyone to withdraw their hands. "I've been away these days. Next time you're attacked in my territory, just come to me. Why bother a clergyman?"

"Bunny, heal the wounds of this person lying there. No matter what, we can't let him really die."

For the young master of the Bengsen family, the life or death of a follower was not a big deal. The man's injuries were real, and if he was not treated, he would really need to use resurrection magic.

Two hours later, Ron met with the members of the Bengtson family again in the reception room. After being given a warning, Levi and Stellan seemed to be more restrained when they met again, but they still tried their best to maintain the dignity of the family. Ron sat behind the table, frowned at the two guys whose clothes were several times more expensive than his, and waved for them to sit down.

Levi waited for a long time but no servant came to bring him a chair, so he and his brother had to sit opposite Ron. But what confused them was that those thugs could actually get a seat in the room, and even sat opposite them, in a row with Ron!
What does this mean? Could it be that the structure of the Delusion Land is actually an alliance or a parliament? But from the intelligence they have obtained, it is obviously not the case! "Sir Ron, we want to discuss the diplomatic and economic affairs between Yungang and the Delusion Land. Can your followers..." Levi cleared his throat. He still remembered the scene when the pale-skinned woman pinched his neck just now. How could he negotiate like this?

"Squire? Sir Bengtson, you may have some misunderstandings." Ron looked at the bare table and suddenly remembered something. He took out a bunch of table cards from under the table like a magic trick and arranged them in a row in front of Levi. "Since the construction of our territory has just started, there is a lack of talents in various fields. Therefore, everyone has multiple duties. Take these people as an example. In addition to being members of the adventure team, they also serve as consultants in various fields."

"Ms. Ivy is in charge of economic and trade matters, Miss Victoria is in charge of religious and garrison affairs, and Mr. Driver is in charge of the security of the surrounding areas. If you really encounter an owlbear or something, just look for him."

Ron lifted Driver up. Although the goblin hunter had his own chair, he would slide under the table if he didn't lend a hand.

"This..." Levi sighed. His tutor had never taught him how to deal with such forces. All his skills were useless.

"The situation in your territory really needs to be improved," Stellan, who had changed into formal clothes, made Ron understand why he had covered his head with a piece of cloth before. He had a big bald head with bumps and his eyebrows were shaved. If he hadn't been wearing expensive clothes, Ron would have thought he had just been released from a prison. "How can most of the top leaders of the entire territory leave so easily?"

Looking around at all the "consultants" present, only the half-elf with long black hair was seen in town a few days ago, and almost all the others were new faces!

"You're blaming us?" Ivy said unhappily, "Didn't Constance arrange a place for you to stay? You're tired of waiting so you're harassing our priests, right?"

"Who would be willing to stay in this remote place for half a month..."

"Steran, be careful with your words." Levi stopped his brother from getting involved in this meaningless quarrel. He turned to look at Ron and handed over a report. "Sir Ron, we were indeed at fault in this matter. We are willing to provide compensation to Miss Boone later, but this is not what we want to discuss now."

"What is this?" Ron took the report. It looked like a financial statement.

"This is our family's profit from January to July this year," Levi explained. "You should be able to see from the line graph that our family has suffered a lot of losses since you took over the Delusion Land and opened up the land trade routes."

Ron looked at the line that took up the main page and turned sharply downward, as well as the vertical axis that went from 750,000 to 800,000. He looked up at the "Sir" who really regarded himself as a country bumpkin and said, "Let me interrupt you. Your 'substantial loss' means that the net profit is 21,000 less?"
