Night Raven Master

Chapter 43 Knight Pass
Art's silence, in Fleck's eyes, was a tactful rejection.

"Ugh"

Although the other party "doesn't want to accept my solicitation", they can't tear their faces and make enemies because of this, but
Since the other party has no possibility of joining the Holy See, then he has done business, and he straightened his expression: "Mr. Art, I have performed a total of four low-level healing spells, and the total is forty copper coins."

"???" Yate hadn't figured out why the other party would regard him as a bard, but thought it might have something to do with the dark night poetry meditation idea, but when he heard this sentence suddenly, he nodded in a daze.

"Then, Mr. Art, then I'll leave first." He nodded politely at Art, then turned and left directly, walking a little fast.

He still had to confirm the news he had just heard with the leader of Di Lude.

After the other party left, Yate came back to his senses, and glanced at the bottom of the occupation column. The occupation description of the night wizard:
[The secret hidden in the poem has been revealed, only those with blue blood are eligible for the honor of wizard. 】

It is no different from before, and the description of [Meditation · Night Poetry lv2] below is also the same as before.

Could it be that the spiritual power of this night wizard is really that similar to that of a bard?He suddenly remembered that before, Hughes also mistook him for a bard.
Thinking of Hughes, Art couldn't help feeling a little sad. Although he and Hughes only got along with each other for a few hours, he and Hughes got along quite well with the group of mercenaries.

He opened the inventory and looked at the things arranged in the lower left corner——

[Hughes' Oak Harp], [Caurus' Hatchet], [Andus' Short Sword], [Twin Daggers].
However. He clenched his fist, took a deep breath, and his eyes became calm again.

Unlike the stable society in the past, in this era when power determines life and death, only with power can we have stability.

Art narrowed his eyes, looked at the deacon passing by the door, stood up, and walked towards the door: "Excuse me."

In the east of Pasling, a tall building resembling a castle stands here.

Today's noble wizards have inherited the habits of the ancient wizards, whether it is good or bad, or even superficial.

The ancient wizards used to live in castles with a large number of large and medium-sized magic circles—or called wizard towers, not only for safety, but also for the convenience of research.

And today's wizards, even if they don't have the ability to arrange a large magic circle, they still want to build a tall castle.

And it is impossible for wizard apprentices to build a castle with a magic circle. This is not a small castle. For this knight, this elementary wizard apprentice-Pass Rock Rosa, Basically a vanity project.

In the study room, a middle-aged man wearing a robe with complicated and exquisite patterns sat on a chair and flipped through the pages of the book. On the table beside him was his favorite drink—a cup of coffee.

His appearance is well-groomed, with a fair face and a mustache, he looks quite elegant. If he adds the tuxedo and top hat that are popular in northern ports recently, he looks more like a gentleman.

However, compared to the black and white clothing from the Central Continent that is more popular with young wizards, he prefers the current aristocratic robes with wizard traditions.

He is one of the children of Viscount Red Rose.

Although he is now close to 40 years old, his strength is still only elementary apprentices.

When he was young, he was still working very hard, hoping that one day he would be able to break through to a middle or even advanced apprenticeship, hope to succeed the Viscount Red Rose, and use the family name—Rosa—as the name of the territory instead of just calling it his own. The name "Pass".

Now, however, he has given up on being aggressive and prefers pleasure to experimentation.

At this time, he was sitting in the room, elegantly tasting the specialty of Red Rose Collar——Red Rose Coffee.

This is the experimental product from a certain Red Rose Viscount——the Red Rose Viscount combined red roses with coffee trees to create a special plant. This kind of red rose coffee tree, the coffee beans grown will have rose The floral aroma persists after brewing.

Not only the red rose collar, but also the entire Durand County is very famous.

"It's much better than blue rose coffee." After taking a sip of the coffee with the aroma of red roses, Paz nodded with a smile on his lips.

Blue Rose Coffee is the opposite of Red Rose Collar—a special plant produced by Blue Rose Collar. After hearing that the Red Rose Viscount produced such a special plant, the Blue Rose Viscount also produced such a plant five years later. s things.

However, when talking about Blue Rose, the smile on Paz's face could not help but fade a bit, and some worries appeared in his eyes.

The blue rose collar and the red rose collar were originally together, and they existed under the name of "rose collar" a long time ago. After the death of a certain rose viscount, his two extremely talented children divided the territory into two parts.

Since then, the blue rose collar and the red rose collar have been rivals.

Recently, the relationship between the current Viscount Red Rose, that is, his father, and the current Viscount Blue Rose has deteriorated.

These two old men and women who are over eighty years old may fight each other at any time.

As the vassal and son of Viscount Red Rose, although he didn't want to fight, if he wanted to fight, he had to bring his followers and soldiers to go.

"I'm already 80 years old, can't I wait quietly for my old age?" Paz sighed, and the mellow taste of the red rose coffee he picked up seemed to have faded a lot.

Tuk Tuk-

At this time, there was a knock on the door.

Paz put down his coffee, still holding the book of poetic biographies in his hand, and said without raising his head, "Come in."

A man wearing clean clothes and a long sword with a thin handle on his belt walked in. Compared with Paz, this man was older, and his weather-beaten face carried a sense of stability.

"Master Paz." After the other party entered the door, he pressed his right hand on his left chest and performed a simple etiquette familiarly.

"What's the matter? Dutt?" Pas looked at the other party. This man is his bodyguard. Since he came here with the title of knight, the other party has been by his side for 20 years. "Could it be that father Is there any news over there?"

Dutt's expression didn't look relaxed, which made Paz, who was familiar with him, nervous.

"It's not about the Viscount, my lord." Dutt shook his head, "It's about the people who were sent to the church yesterday."

"Church? What happened to Fleck again?" Paz frowned suspiciously. The leader came to report what happened yesterday, and Dutt also reported it to himself, but he didn't take it seriously. After all, often There are mercenaries and travelers who went to the Dilud Plain alone, and after being injured, they appeared in the forest in the northwest, and were sent to Fleck's church.

After reporting and inquiring, basically nothing happened, only a few times, because those stingy civilians refused to pay after being treated, and then made troubles.

"In fact, it was the traveler who was sent to the church who told Fleck a message, and Fleck sent someone to send the news." Dutt thought about it, and after the other party told Fleck the news, Fleck followed the noble The agreement with the Holy See also sent the news.

"What news?" Paz became more and more confused. What news still needs to be sent by Fleck?The last time I did this was three years ago, when a bandit group of more than a hundred people appeared near Pasling.

"The traveler said that a few days ago, thousands of demonized wolves flocked to Di Lude's territory."

"Demonized wolves!? Thousands of them? Are you kidding me?" Paz frowned, even a little angry, and he snorted coldly, "Can Fleck even believe this kind of news? His brain is covered with white bread Replaced!? Dutt, don’t you believe it too!?”

Thousands of demonized wolves?Even the red rose collar will be directly trampled flat, there is no room for resistance.

According to the usual situation, Dutt would not tell him such news with such low credibility.

Dutt, who saw Paz's expression, couldn't help but smiled wryly: "Master Paz, I don't really believe it either, but... I was supposed to return to the caravan in Pazling yesterday morning, but I haven't returned today."

The caravan he was talking about was a caravan under Paz, who was in charge of exchanging some items and materials. In case of any unexpected situation, carrier pigeons would be used for emergency communication.

And now, there is no news.

"Could it be that?" Hearing what his friend said, the expression on Paz's face also became a little dignified.

After a long time, Paz sighed: "Dutt, you send someone to confirm the news."

"Okay, my lord." Du Te replied with a nod. He had already sent someone to Di Lude to get the news, and then he seemed to think of something, and told Paz another news, "By the way, my lord, the acquisition The work on the wood has been halfway done, and the two firewood warehouses have been half filled, and we should be able to collect them in another month."

"Well, I see." Paz nodded, "You tell those loggers, let them cut enough wood and prepare enough meat, the cold winter is coming, after the end of the cold winter, I hope my As many people as possible can survive."

Then, he paused: "The logging tax for these two months has also been reduced to half."

"Praise your kindness, they will definitely be happy." Dutt praised from the bottom of his heart, pressing his hands on his chest, "By the way, Lord Pas, the viscount's dinner will be held in ten days, sir. Need to be ready."

"Then, Master Paz, I'll leave first." After Paz nodded, Dutt left the study backwards and closed the door.

Sunlight poured in from the window sill and shone on some old bookshelves. Paz turned his head and looked, but the familiar sky brought him an unusual gloom.
