Hearthstone Farm Lord

Chapter 5
Three minutes later, Sean sat in the carriage heading to the Castle of the Earl of the River.

The place where Sean lives is in the east of Jorn City, which belongs to the civilian area of ​​Jorn City. The Earl of Rivers arranged him here because it was the closest to the Holy Light Church, so that the bishop could treat his injuries.

Earl River's castle is located in the west of the city, in the deepest part of the wealthy area. Even if Sean takes a carriage to get there, it will take a lot of time.

(The reason why the Church of the Holy Light was not set up in the rich area but in the civilian area is that the power of faith is harvested by the head. The dense population in the civilian area is convenient for preaching, and the rich area is sparsely populated. And the church will periodically give The poor in the city healed their wounds and distributed free food to strengthen the faith of the Church of the Holy Light in the Jorn area.)
Sitting in the carriage, Sean looked at the scenery outside the window and gradually fell into deep thought.

What Sean is thinking about now is the conversation he had with the butler just now.

The housekeeper's description of the "all suicide" of the bandits just now seemed to have no problem, but it gave Sean a feeling of contradiction.

Bandits are not rebels, and they will usually choose to surrender when they are surrounded by officers and soldiers and they will die. Even if they do not surrender, they will not choose the extreme method of suicide.

Moreover, except for a small number of bandit leaders, most of the bandits are farmers who have nothing and cannot pay heavy taxes. They have no choice but to go up the mountain and become bandits.

Sean couldn't believe that these farmers would commit suicide in such an extreme way.

So there may be something wrong with the words of the earl butler.

In fact, in the past two days after the attack, Sean also thought about whether these "bandits" were sent by his predecessor's enemies. After all, those bandits were unexpectedly powerful, and they were more like mercenaries than bandits. .

But these "mercenaries" should decisively leave the city of Jon after the assassination mission failed. Why were they surrounded by the guards of the Earl of River?
Could it be that what the earl of the river said was also a lie?
. . . . . .

Thinking of this, Sean suddenly felt a mess in his head, and things seemed to be more complicated than imagined.

Forget it, don’t think about it so much for now, let’s continue studying the system. The system is the capital of your current life.

Sean remembered that he saw a new system prompt when he recalled Windsor last time, but he didn't bother to read it due to time constraints. Now he just had time to take a look.

"System." Sean muttered silently in his mind.

In an instant, a light blue light curtain appeared in front of his eyes again.

Sean looked directly towards the bottom of the light curtain, and immediately found the system prompt.

[System prompt: Enter the [Follower] module for the first time to get the reward [Elf] X2, do you choose to receive it? 】

【Yes】

【no】

[System prompt: Tier [-] follower will not occupy the follower summoning slot. 】

It turned out that I forgot to claim the first entry reward of the [Follower] module.

Although only two followers were sent this time, it is still very good to see that the system prompts that these two [little elves] do not occupy the summoning slots like other first-level followers.

Sean opened the [Followers] module, and sure enough, the [Summon] button next to the two [Elves] was green.

【Elf】

Quality: Normal

0 fee 1/1
Race: Elf

Card description: If you attack the Eredar Lord with enough elves, he will explode.But why?

. . . . . .

Although the elf can be summoned directly, but now in the carriage, it is better to wait until the next time you return to your residence before summoning.

I don’t know what the attribute panel of [Elf] will be redone by the system.

. . . . . .

While Sean was researching the system, the carriage stopped suddenly, and the voice of the butler William came from outside the carriage at the right time: "Your Highness Sean, we have arrived."

Hearing what the earl butler said, Xiao En shut down the system, let's get down to business first, and the system can be studied slowly in the future.

. . . . . .

The carriage stopped slowly, and Sean also got off the carriage.

The Earl of the River's castle is located in the deepest part of the wealthy district, and Sean, who came before the Earl of the River's castle, seemed to have entered another world.

Generally speaking, the civilian area of ​​Jorn City is full of people, messy and messy.

The filth and rubbish on the streets are not cleaned up, and you can often smell all kinds of bad smells when you walk on the street. The sewers have long been blocked by garbage, and it is all muddy when it rains heavily. What's more, many people are dragged into an alley He never came out after that.

In fact, the civilian areas are pretty good. The real lowest-class people in Jon City live in slums, and the public security and hygiene there are simply unimaginable.

But it is different in the wealthy area. It is clean and tidy. Not only are the city guards patrolling, but the lawns and flower beds are also neatly manicured. Compared with the civilian areas, it is the difference between heaven and hell.

"The environment here is much better than that in the civilian area." Sean couldn't help sighing as soon as he got off the carriage.

The housekeeper William thought that Sean was dissatisfied with the living environment in the civilian area when he heard Sean's words, so he hurriedly explained:
"The environment in the civilian area is indeed bad, but there is no way to arrange you there. After all, it is the closest to the Holy Light Church, and our master can't command the bishop of the church."

"Oh, I understand you, lead the way." Sean said calmly.

"Okay." The earl butler bowed and led the way.

. . . . . .

The count's castle is about 20 meters high and is built of large stones. It can be regarded as the tallest building in the city of Jon except for the Holy Light Church.

Under the guidance of the butler, Sean finally met the Earl of the River in the reception room on the first floor of the castle.

The Earl of Rivers is a middle-aged man with a majestic face and a little fat. He is wearing the casual clothes that nobles wear every day. He is chatting with the people around him at this moment.

(The Earl of Rivers seems to be just an earl, but in fact his family power can be ranked third in the Principality of Ryan.

Ranking first is of course Ryan’s royal family, the Violet Family. The Violet Family owns 60.00% of the principality’s land and is stronger than all the other families combined;

Ranked second is the Hill (Hill) family whose base camp is in Wellness, a large city in the northwest of the principality. The patriarch of the Hill family, Brandon Hill, is also the only Marquis of the Principality of Lane;
Ranked third is the Earl of Mason Rivers. Although he is only an earl, his family controls Jorn City, one of the five major cities in the Principality, and his strength should not be underestimated. )
The one chatting with the Earl of Rivers was a handsome middle-aged man, wearing a full-body armor of pure gold, the armor on his body shone like a bronze mirror, and he should be a general by looking at his clothes.

There was a middle-aged man standing behind the Earl of the River. He was wearing a black tuxedo and tie like the butler William. He should also be a butler.

Seeing Sean coming to the living room, the three greeted Sean at the same time.

. . . . . .

"Master River Earl, long time no see!" Sean first gave a noble salute to Earl River.

Although he is the Grand Duke's biological son, he is only a baron after all, and etiquette still needs to be in place.

"Haha, Your Highness Sean, the three of us are here to wait for you, are your injuries better?"

The Earl of Rivers walked up to Sean, and patted Sean on the shoulder as if supporting a junior.

"Thanks to the blessing of the God of Light, he has been healed."

"That's good. The bishop of the Holy Light Church still has two brushes. I remember that you were almost out of breath when you were first brought back to Yoon City. I didn't expect you to recover so quickly. Forget it, let's not talk about it for now. Let me introduce you to the two around me."

Earl River turned sideways and introduced the two people behind him to Sean.

"You met this one when you came last time, Lucas, the peak warrior of the golden rank, and the strongest warrior in the Yorn region. Because he has no title, he has no surname for the time being." The Earl of Rivers patted the man in golden armor. The shoulders of the soldiers, introduced to Sean.
