【Age: 28】

[Skills: reading and writing (proficient), herbalism (beginner), swordsmanship (proficient)]

……

"I have picked up swordsmanship again... Now I am considered a master swordsmanship."

Aaron took out the iron sword made in the blacksmith shop, which cost him a lot of silver coins, and pulled a few sword blades.

On the blade of the sword, a gloomy cold light bloomed.

This is a set of swordsmanship that he rediscovered in combination with his native body. He is best at finding weaknesses and attacking enemies!

After a little exercise in the morning, he starts to eat breakfast.

The breakfast staple had become wheat bread, served with a cup of foul-smelling medicinal soup.

All the herbs in this medicinal soup were found by Aaron himself.

effect?

"It's probably better than not drinking...Damn it, I need a real extraordinary classic or inheritance before I can localize my knowledge...But in the whole town, there is not even a book Hard to find…”

"The place where good things are really likely to appear is in the baron's castle... Recently, the baron's health seems to be not very good. After all, he is in his 40s..."

The dispute over the heir, coupled with the fact that he was too old, caused undercurrents to surge in the entire Lancaster territory.

This is also Aaron's chance.

However, he wasn't going to take advantage of the chaos to attack the baron's castle by himself—it was too dangerous!

He wanted to go to the black market to collect related books after the baron's castle was breached or in chaos...

After all, he has unlimited time and is very patient.

That's why he didn't plan on that ghoul.

As long as you don't gamble, you will never lose!

If the boat capsized, he would be really dead!

The job of the grave guard is very leisurely, or in other words, as long as few people die, they can fish openly.

Especially after knowing that there is a ghoul dedicated to dealing with tomb robbers...

Aaron gave up his night patrol work completely.

Sleep until dawn every day.

Then exercise, eat breakfast, and then have a leisurely morning and afternoon time, you can study herbs, and then at night, there is no light, you can only sleep - the lamp oil is basically resold by Aaron, and it becomes research and entertainment expenses .

morning.

While Aaron was leisurely looking at the herb jar, a slender figure came over, it was Evie!

"Zorro, a few more copies of the herbs you sold last time!"

Ivan's face was filled with uncontrollable excitement: "The buyers all liked it, saying that those medicines allowed them to regain the youthful vigor they had when they were young... Although it was only for the bed, they still offered a high price of one silver coin. "

"Oh? But I really don't have enough raw materials here, and at the same time, I have to be reluctant to sell... It's still the same as last time, there are only five decoctions per week."

Aaron answered unhurriedly.

This kind of decoction is also a special formula he discovered, which has the effect of 'enhancing yang'. Once it was launched, it was immediately well received.

This is also the reason why he has the confidence to replace his daily black bread with whole wheat bread.

"And remember...the sheriff, the mayor, the tax collector must take care of it, so that they don't trouble you..."

Aaron grabbed Ivy again to teach life experience.

"Don't worry... Those old men have this unspeakable secret. Once your medicine is taken out, there will be absolutely no problem!"

Evie patted his chest for assurance.

Immediately, a gleam of joy appeared on his face: "Zorro... I'm getting married."

"Huh? With whom?"

Aaron looked up blankly, and had to say that he really didn't care much about this little friend.

"It's...Tracey."

Evie lowered his voice.

Aaron immediately remembered the dark-skinned waitress: "It's her...do you... care?"

"I don't care..." Ivy smiled bitterly: "After all... people like us, what choice do we have?"

He has inherited his father's profession and has become the town's corpse-bearer.

If you get closer, you can even smell the stench of corpses on your body, which is not welcome in many places.

But in the cemetery, he was very comfortable - after all, the eldest would not laugh at the second.

Ivy looked at Aaron: "Zorro, you are getting old too, you have money... you can marry a better wife and have a child... In this life, at least we will be more successful than those old bachelors? At least ...We have successfully continued the bloodline, even if our descendants forget us in the future, our blood will still flow in their bodies..."

There was a bit of sadness in this tone.

Aaron looked at this little friend in surprise, wondering why the other party suddenly had such an opinion?

"Aren't you great? This is what my dad taught me."

However, the next moment, Ivan revealed his true colors.

Aaron sighed: "Let me think about it again...the barony has been quite chaotic recently."

"Is it a dispute over heirs? I heard that Miss Lilith's husband has the support of the Viscount behind him... If he can't satisfy him, there may even be a war in the end!"

Ivy's eyes lit up: "This is not a small matter of grabbing a few prey. Once the war starts, how many people will die? We must be too busy..."

"So what you care about is this kind of problem?"

Aaron was almost speechless: "Now...it depends on how the old baron chooses. By the way, don't we have a high-ranking noble here to mediate? Like the king or something?"

"I've never heard of it... Isn't it normal for the lord to want to fight? Why do you want to mediate?"

Evie asked back.

Aaron couldn't help being silent.

Well, such an era is very fascinating!

……

In the blink of an eye, another few months passed.

Aaron went to attend the wedding of Evie and Tracy, and blessed the two, and specially sent a large pot of decoction as a wedding gift.

And at the beginning of winter, Baron Lancaster finally made a decision!

He made Catherine Lancaster his heir!

The entire territory was suddenly enveloped by a feeling of uneasiness.

However, Aaron didn't care about that.

Once a war breaks out, the first target is obviously the baron's castle, and the second target is the affluent Yanan Town, his target here is very small.

As long as it is not besieged by a large force and encounters some stragglers, he is fully capable of solving it.

What he was worrying about was other things.

For example... I haven't been able to find a demon hunter to ask for advice.

And the ghoul... the other party obviously can't speak, and won't teach him anything.

This once gave Aaron the idea of ​​traveling and studying after leaving.

But soon, this idea disappeared, after all, it might be more dangerous outside!

'This war... will it be an opportunity? '

"However, the demon hunters don't seem to be involved in the war, they only have trouble with monsters... they are also a group of strange people..."

Chapter 1104

cold winter night.

The biting cold wind was bitter, and the cemetery was empty and silent, even chilling.

Inside the gravekeeper's hut.

Aaron, who was sleeping, suddenly opened his eyes, and pressed the hilt of the sword under the bed with one hand.

After a while, heavy footsteps came.

He looked at the torch outside, got up, dressed, and then opened the door as if nothing happened: "Masters, what happened?"

"Gravekeeper Zorro?"

A soldier held a torch and looked at Aaron. After confirming that it was him, he immediately asked, "Did you find anyone else at night?"

"There are many people lying in the tomb, but there are no living people."

Aaron feigned panic: "What happened?"

"you do not need to know!"

The soldier leader's expression was very cold, even though he knew Aaron, he still waved his hand: "Search!"

The soldiers rushed into the hut and searched all the places where people could hide, but of course they found nothing.

Even more people lit torches and searched the entire cemetery.

"no!"

"Neither here!"

"Continue to search elsewhere!"

The group of soldiers came and went quickly.

Aaron looked at the back of the other party leaving, thoughtful.

……

The next day.

early morning.

Ivie came over in a hurry, with an expression of not knowing what to say.

In the end, he took a few deep breaths, and then said, "Zorro, come to live..."

"Oh? Which big shot died?"

Aaron feigned surprise.

"It's the old Baron Lancaster!" Ivan's voice was heavy, and there was a little joy in sharing the secret.

"It doesn't look like he died of illness or accident..." Aaron said thoughtfully, "The soldier from last night?"

"Shhhh!"

Ivy made a silent gesture, looked around again, and lowered his voice: "Yes... the old baron was assassinated to death! Just last night, I sewed the body with my own hands... the head was separated from the body It's..."

"The assassin escaped?"

Aaron was even more surprised by this.

"That's right... It is said that the assassin is very skilled in martial arts, and can fly like a cat..."

Evie obviously said it as a joke.

After finishing speaking, he counted out a few silver coins and handed them to Aaron: "The butler asked me to give them to you. The baron's funeral is not ordinary..."

"So I just need to choose the cemetery, other things will naturally be handled by noble people..."

Aaron shrugged and smiled comfortably.

"By the way, that's the attitude. Let's just do our own thing well."

Evie laughed too.
