Hearthstone Farm Lord

Chapter 6 Henry the Steward
Lucas is a fighter in prime gold.

According to the remaining memories in his mind, Sean still knows the division of cultivation levels in this world.

Professions in this world are roughly divided into three categories, namely fighters (fighters, assassins and archers with grudge as the core), mages (mages, warlocks, druids with magic as the core) and priests (with magic as the core) Priests and paladins whose core is the power of faith).

In terms of hierarchy, it can be divided into apprentices, black iron ranks, bronze ranks, silver ranks, gold ranks, sky knights (magisters, great priests) and sanctuaries.

It is worth mentioning that the strongest person in the Principality of Ryan is a warrior in the sanctuary and the patron saint of the Principality of Ryan.

Each major rank is divided into lower rank, middle rank and upper rank in detail in the smaller realm. The "strongest warrior in the Yohn area" introduced by Earl River is the pinnacle of the gold rank and is about to break through to become a Sky Knight (Sky Knight). In the knight stage, you can fight in the sky for a long time, so there is the name "Sky Knight").

. . . . . .

"Hello, Your Highness Sean." Lucas bowed slightly and made a knight's salute to Sean.

The strongest warrior in Jorn City has gray temples, and the wrinkles on his forehead give people the feeling of being a vicissitudes, but it can still be seen from his eyes that he is a shrewd and capable warrior.

"Hello." Sean nodded to Lucas in return.

"This is the butler of the Viscount Lake (Lake). He's sorry. What's your name?" The Earl of Rivers turned his head to look at the middle-aged man in the butler's uniform behind him.

"My lord, my name is Henry." The middle-aged man replied hastily.

"Oh, Henry, look at my memory." Earl River patted his head with his palm and continued: "Your Highness Sean, you still don't know that Viscount Lake and his heir died on the battlefield ahead not long ago. This viscount He had no other heirs, so all his property belonged to the duchy, and his steward Henry came to my manor to help William."

"What do you mean?"

Sean was a little puzzled, Lucas was fine, why did the Earl of Rivers spend so much time introducing this little butler to him?
"That's right." The Earl of Rivers smiled, "The fact that you were attacked by bandits has been transmitted to the capital through magic communication two days ago. The Grand Duke decided to give you 1 gold coins as the cost of rebuilding the territory. This I will give it to you as a steward Henry, he can help you take care of the territory, and I will give you the gold coins this afternoon." (10 gold coin = 100 silver coins = [-] copper coins in this world)

Before Earl River finished speaking, Henry walked to Sean and knelt down: "Your Highness Sean."

"Get up." Sean frowned slightly. Unexpectedly, Earl River actually gave him a butler.

Being able to summon the creatures in Hearthstone cards is his biggest secret. It is very inconvenient to have an outsider butler around.

But since the earl of the river gave it away, it was inappropriate for him to refuse.

"Thank you, Earl." Sean thanked Earl River.

"You're welcome." Earl River waved his hand.

At this time, the servants of the castle also handed over hot coffee, and the Earl of the river took a cup and sat comfortably on the chair in the living room.

"Sit down, Your Highness Xiao En, don't keep standing."

"Okay." Sean sat on the chair opposite the Earl, and Henry stood behind Sean with a wink.

"Ha..." After the earl of the river sat down, he yawned suddenly.

"I'm sorry, Your Highness Sean, the three of us rushed back to Yoen City overnight and didn't sleep all night." Earl River stopped yawning and explained: "William has already told you that we wiped out that group of bandits. Bar?"

"Yeah." Sean nodded.

"Without the threat of that group of bandits, Your Highness Sean, please hurry up and go to the territory. You can use the [-] gold coins given by the Grand Duke to buy some slaves and supplies. It's already mid-April, and you won't be able to catch up with this year in a while. It’s spring plowing,” Earl River continued.

(Wheat is the main crop grown by farmers in the Principality of Lane. The "spring plowing" that the Earl of Rivers refers to is the planting season of spring wheat. According to the climate in the Yohn region, farmers have already begun to plant wheat in the fields at this time. If wheat is not planted before May, , the next batch of winter wheat will not be able to be planted due to the cold weather, and farmers will lose a whole season of income.)
"But if I go to the territory now, will I be in danger? What if I encounter another group of bandits on the way to the territory?" Sean asked pretending to be uneasy.

Sean is not stupid. The "bandits" that attacked him last time were most likely sent by his predecessor's enemies. If the last wave of "bandits" failed to attack, it is very likely that there will be another wave. Only by himself and Wen De Thor was helpless.

"You can hire a suitable mercenary group from our mercenary union in Jorn City to help you guard the territory. The two mercenary groups 'Wolf Settlement' and 'Silver Hourglass' are very good. You can choose one.

And one more thing, 'Lucky Matthew' is also in Jorn City, if he goes to the territory with you, I can [-]% guarantee your safety on the road. "The earl of the river said confidently.

"Lucky Matthew?"

"That's right, lucky Matthew is an adventurer. No one knows his strength, but he is roughly estimated to be a peak silver fighter.

He traveled a long time in several neighboring countries, but was never attacked. "Earl River said this, and suddenly lowered his voice: "Actually, he has not encountered attacks at all. In the past, a viscount in the principality tried to catch his attention, but later died miserably, and no one dared to provoke him anymore. "

"Is this 'Matthew' so powerful? Anyway, thank you for doing so much for me." Sean still has a good impression of Earl River.

The Earl of the River not only helped him clean up the bandits on the way to the territory, but also pointed out a safe way for him to go to the territory. It seems that the Earl of the River is a good man!

"You're welcome. I am the largest lord in the Jon area, and it is what I should do to help other lords under my rule." Earl River smiled and waved his hand, but at this moment, he seemed to have thought of something else and continued: "Oh, by the way, tonight I will hold a celebration dinner in the castle to celebrate the victory of eradicating bandits, you must come!"

"No problem." Sean immediately agreed.

"I didn't sleep last night, and I couldn't hold it any longer.

I'll go to sleep first, you can stay in my castle, it's safe here, William, help me take care of His Royal Highness Sean. The Earl of Rivers yawned again as he got up.

"Okay, sir." William immediately replied respectfully.

"I'd better go around the city. After all, I have to buy supplies for the territory, so I won't stay in the castle." Sean declined.

"Actually, you can leave these matters to the butler. Of course, you can also go if you really want to go. William, help me see His Highness off."

"Then I'll say goodbye first!" Sean said goodbye to Earl River, and then left the castle with Henry.

. . . . . .

Sean is in a much better mood now than before coming to the castle.

Not only was he able to reach the territory safely, but his cheap father gave him a start-up capital, and things seemed to be developing in a good place.
