Chapter 1083 The Cursed Dragon and His Human Knight (71)
The Cursed Dragon and His Human Knight (Seventy-One)
A thousand bottles of recovery potions were handed to Harris, and he felt more confident.
Arnold put pressure on him several times, but Harris dismissed him with just one sentence.
"Disrespecting the temple? As punishment, he's been thrown into the water dungeon and severely tortured. As far as I know, he's not a believer in the temple, but a guard in my city lord's mansion. No matter what, he should be handed over to me, the city lord, to deal with."
Arnold was furious and tried many times to put pressure on Harris in the name of the temple, but Harris still ignored him.
Not only that, Harris quickly requisitioned a piece of land in the city. When many people got wind of it and were still wondering what Harris wanted to do, Song Ning and Lance had already opened a pharmacy here.
This pharmacy is located almost opposite the Church of Light, and its decoration is so user-friendly that it only took three days to complete.
At first, many people knew that this was the territory specially arranged by Harris, but they were still wondering what Harris wanted to do. Many nobles were even waiting for Harris to send them invitations - it was an unwritten rule among the nobles that if a family opened a new business store and wanted to get the protection of other nobles, or hoped to attract business, they would do this.
But to their surprise, Harris did not send an invitation to any of them, which surprised many powerful nobles.
Some even privately discussed whether Harris was crazy.
"Harris's family isn't a top-tier power, and he's worked hard to reach his current position. Doesn't he know that he needs allies to go further?"
"I've already said it before. He's just a fool who claims he doesn't want to use his family's influence to fight for his own success. This isn't the first time he's disobeyed our rules. If it were me, Harris should have been excluded from our circle long ago."
"He's the city lord. How dare a little baron like you speak so bluntly in front of him?"
"Why would I be so afraid? And you can see that Harris doesn't take any of us seriously at all."
"I heard he even recently rejected Bishop Arnold of the Temple. How dare Harris?"
"I don't know, but isn't the most important question right now what exactly does Harris want to do?"
They soon found out what Harris wanted to do. The day after Harris took over the site, he started renovation and construction. Then within three days, they heard about something.
Harris was rescued by a stranger when he was away from home, and he gave the stranger a title as a thank you.
This title was not high, and according to convention, the outsider had to pay 10,000 gold coins, but this incident still caused a huge stir among the nobles.
Almost all the nobles expressed their great dissatisfaction with this matter to City Lord Harris as soon as they learned about it.
"Is Harris crazy? He actually gave a title to a foreigner?"
"Oh my god, Harris is truly a disgrace to our nobility. How could a city lord give a title to an unknown outsider for a mere ten thousand gold coins?"
"That's right, I think Harris is truly crazy. There's been a problem ever since he dared to go against the church."
