Heaven’s Intention

Unlike the situation of the townspeople, the construction materials of the baron's castle are all stone materials. Different from the implicitness of the wooden house, the heavy castle demonstrates the authority and strength of the baron as a nobleman.

He followed the guard-like person to the front of the castle, and after a briefing, he stood there, waiting for the routine inspection and questioning of the people in the castle.

Outside the castle is a circle of moats, and the suspension bridge hangs high.

Probably because he was afraid that someone would harm him, or because the monster forest outside the town gave the baron too much psychological shadow. The moat outside the castle was built very wide, and the water inside had a slightly fishy smell. When Romon heard it, he couldn't help but frowned.

At this time, probably because of the shift of the guards above the castle, no one has paid attention to them yet, so they can only wait quietly under the castle.

Romon was bored and could only stare at the moat in a daze. The fat fish that jumped out of the water from time to time made him squint his eyes.

Okay, the suspension bridge has been lowered, let's go quickly. After an unknown amount of time, the guard leading the way said suddenly, and it was only then that Romon realized that the suspension bridge had slowly fallen before his eyes.

And the gate of the castle, after the suspension bridge fell, revealed its true face. It is also made of stone materials, a large piece of solid rock was made into two heavy but magnificent doors by skillful craftsmen. Presumably, when pushing, there are not five or six people, and it is difficult to move it.

Stepping on the suspension bridge, Romon followed the guards and walked across the moat. As soon as his feet were on the ground, the two stone doors on the opposite side were slowly pushed open.

However, unlike what he thought, the people who pushed the doors didn't seem to be working hard, and there was only one person pushing behind each door. After a closer look, it turns out that under the heavy stone gate, there are actually four small wheels helping each other.

And when they stepped into the gate, behind them, the suspension bridge was hoisted up. The door was then slowly closed. I saw that there were several strong wooden bars on the inside of the door. Luo Meng couldn't help sighing in his heart, noble gentlemen are indeed extremely rare.

The guard who led the way still didn't like to talk, but along the way, on the way to the baron's office, there were several obstacles, so the guard had to explain Romon's identity again and again.

It might be that they had been notified in advance. After checking and confirming that Romon was indeed not carrying any sharp weapon that might endanger the baron's safety, those people let them go one by one.

Romon followed the other party, and walked for a long distance, and finally in front of a hall, the guards stopped.

You wait here first, I will report to the baron. The guard said to Romon calmly.

Romon nodded, secretly heaving a sigh of relief, finally arrived at the place. At the same time, I sighed again in my heart about the luxurious life of the nobles in this world.

Just a baron, and his castle is very magnificent. If it is a big noble in those big places, the level is probably beyond what he can imagine.

Romon, who once thought he had seen the big world, couldn't help but put away his complacency at this time. People in any world should not be underestimated.

Not to mention anything else, at this time, with his power, compared with the baron, he is on par with the baron. In this case, he is not allowed to have a complacent attitude.

Okay, you can go in. The guard had already come out of the hall at this time, saw Romon, and conveyed the baron's meaning.

So, not long after, for the first time, Romon saw the owner of Rika Town, the baron, at a very close distance, in this tacky hall.

Maybe it was to show his own financial resources, or maybe his own taste was not very high, this hall gave him a strong stimulus when he stepped into this hall.

There are golden lights everywhere. It almost dazzled his eyes.

The walls are painted with golden paint, the floor is covered with golden floor tiles, the table is golden, the chairs are golden, and even the vases with flowers are in a gorgeous shape.

At the same time, it made the corners of Romon's mouth twitch. However, he didn't say anything. How the room is arranged is someone else's business and has nothing to do with him.

And in the middle of the hall, sat a middle-aged man in gorgeous clothes, who kept looking at him as soon as he came in from Romon. And Romon, with a glance, saw the man's face clearly.

It was probably because Miss Alini's appearance followed her mother's. Therefore, at first glance, it was really difficult for Romon to connect the wrinkled old man in front of him with that lovely girl like an angel.

The baron's complexion is not very good at this time, and there are traces of aging in the corners of his eyes, which is profound and emotional. Although wearing a gorgeous robe, it is difficult to cover up his old body.

Seeing Romon come in, he coughed lightly, and then asked knowingly, Are you Romon?

Romon just glanced at him from a distance, seeing him asking such a question, he had no choice but to bow, and replied: Yes, my lord baron, I am Romon.

Romon, you did a good job on this matter this time, Eleni told me everything, thanks to you, there is one less moth like this in my territory, in order to thank you, I plan to give you a piece of subordinate land, and let you build your own homestead and medicine field... Seeing that Romon entered the door with a neither humble nor overbearing look, the baron felt more and more that Romon had a deep mind, so he stopped thinking about the words he had been thinking for a long time Speak up.

Romon was stunned for a moment. He thought that the lord summoned him to reward him or to say something. However, the gift that the other party suddenly said happened to be what he needed the most right now, a person who was about to die of starvation. , was suddenly hit by a big pie falling from the sky, this kind of coincidence made him speechless for a moment.

Seeing his appearance, the baron couldn't help sneering in his heart, but said on his mouth: ...But, just because of this merit, I will give you a piece of subordinate land, and I am afraid that others will not accept it, so I plan to entrust you with a task. , This task may take some risks, but as long as you can successfully complete it, I will immediately fulfill the promise I said now, how about it, do you think about it?

Now, Romon also knows that there is a saying in this world that the fief is the reward paid to the knight. The size of a knight's collar is about a thousand acres. , knowledge, and martial arts, serving the lords who granted them land, are actually professional soldiers and professional officials under knights.

Most of them own 200 to 300 acres of land. When the lord is in danger, they need to prepare their own spears, leather armor, shields and swords to serve. Of course, they do not have the ability to buy war horses and armor, and the lord's requirements for them are not the same as those of knights.

Even so, a retinue is also distinguished from civilians. Strictly speaking, it is the same as a tax official.

The lord said he was polite and the treatment was generous. However, Romon didn't really take the other party's politeness seriously. He hurriedly asked, I don't know what task the baron is referring to?

The Baron narrowed his eyes and smiled. The forest outside the town is the outskirts of the thorn forest. It has not been managed better. I called you today because I want you to enter the forest with the adventurers and help me draw a picture of the forest. Map, with the map, the management of the forest can be truly effective, and the most effective layout can also be achieved when defending against the attacks of monsters in the future. How about it, will you do this task?

Seeing that Romon lowered his head to think, the baron added another fire: I heard from Eleni that you are a very responsible child. In order to get rid of a moth in the town, you are even willing to take risks and use yourself as bait , this time the mission is more dangerous than your last move, but if it succeeds, the credit will be greater. In fact, I chose you to draw the map. I also made the decision after consideration. One is to give You have a chance to make meritorious deeds. Second, as a druid, you can choose adventurers to form a group, which is more guaranteed than other people entering the forest. Third, I trust you more. If it is someone else, I will Doubt the authenticity of the map... For the benefit of the territory and the townspeople, think about it!

Seeing that Romon's face became more serious, the Baron sneered in his heart. This is the way he suddenly thought of in the carriage. A good way to isolate Romon and his second daughter.

Although there are only some signs of danger between the daughter and Romon, but as cautious as he is, he is unwilling to take this risk.

So, after thinking about it, I finally came up with this good idea when I met that group of adventurers on the road. That is, let Romon participate in the adventurer's actions.

It would take a long time for an adventurer to enter the forest to venture back and forth. If Romon is involved, then his daughter can be separated from him.

Moreover, there are many dangers in the Thorn Forest, and even a person with high combat skills will lose a proportion of them in it. Let him go in, if he encounters any accident and cannot come out alive, it will save him the trouble of thinking about a safe way to kill someone.

However, how to get Romon to participate is a big problem. After all, Romon is now rich in wealth, and he once got a legacy, so why take risks? Ordinary rewards of property, it is estimated that Romon has already looked down on them.

Thinking of what Romon might need now, the baron simply summoned Romon under the pretext of drawing a map. He also promised that if the matter was successful, a piece of land would be given to Romon to build his own house and medicine field. With such an attractive condition, the Baron has enough reasons to believe that Romon will definitely agree.

However, in order to prevent Romon from refusing because of timidity, the baron simply held it high.

So, after the baron finished the above paragraph, he waited there calmly. Waiting for Romon's reaction.

And Romon's face changed a few times, he was silent for a while, finally raised his head, and made a decision: I am willing to accept this task.
