Unlike the situation of the townspeople, the construction materials of the Baron Castle are all made of stone. Unlike the subtle and thick castle of wooden houses, it demonstrates the authority and strength of a nobleman and Baron.
He followed the man who looked like a guard to the castle, and then, after a notice, he stood there, waiting for the routine inspection and questioning of the people in the castle.
Outside the castle is a circle of moats, with suspension bridges hanging high.
Maybe I was afraid that someone would be unfavorable to me, or maybe the Warcraft 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, which made Romon smell it and frowned.
At this time, probably because the guards on the castle were working shifts, no one paid attention to them, so they could only wait quietly under the castle.
When Romon was bored, he 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 put down, so let's go." After a while, the guard who led the way suddenly said, and Romon realized that the suspension bridge had slowly fallen in front of him.
The castle gate also revealed its true appearance after the suspension bridge fell. Also made of stone, a large piece of solid rock was made into two heavy but magnificent gates by skillful craftsmen. I believe that when it was pushed, it would be difficult for five or six people to move it at all.
Stepping on the suspension bridge, Romon followed the guards and walked across the moat. As soon as his feet stepped onto the ground, the two stone doors opposite were slowly pushed open.
However, unlike what he thought, the person who pushed the door seemed to be very laborious, and only one person pushed it behind each one. After a closer look, he realized that there were four small wheels under the thick stone door to help.
When they stepped into the gate, behind them, the suspension bridge was hung up. The gate was slowly closed. Seeing that there were several strong wooden bars inside the gate, Romon couldn't help but sigh in his heart that the nobles and men were indeed extremely rare.
The guard who led him was still not talkative, but along the way, on the way to the Baron's office, several blocks forced the guard to explain Romon's identity again and again.
Maybe they were notified in advance. After the inspection, they confirmed that Romon did not carry any powerful weapons that might harm the baron's safety, and those people let them go one by one.
Romon followed the other party for a long time and finally the guard stopped in front of a hall.
"You wait here first, I'll report to Lord Baron." The guard said to Romon lukewarmly.
Romon nodded, and felt relieved in his heart. He finally arrived at the place. At the same time, he sighed in his heart again about the luxurious life of the nobles in this world.
Just a baron, his castle was built very magnificently. If it were the great nobles in those big places, the degree would probably be beyond his imagination.
Romon, who once believed in seeing the world, couldn't help but put away his complacent heart at this time. People in any world should not be underestimated.
Not to mention anything else, at this time, his power, compared with the Baron, is at a high level. In this case, he cannot be allowed to have a little complacent mentality.
"Okay, you can go in." The guard had already walked out of the hall and saw Romon, conveying the Baron's meaning.
So, not long after, Romon met the owner of Rika Town, Lord Baron, in this cheesy hall everywhere, at a very close distance.
Maybe it was to show his financial resources, or his taste was not very high. This hall gave him a strong stimulation as soon as Romon stepped in.
There was a golden light everywhere, almost dazzling 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 bottles that put flowers are filled with gorgeous shapes.
It was dazzling and also made Romon's mouth twitch. However, he said nothing. How to arrange the room is someone else's business and has nothing to do with him.
In the middle of the hall, a middle-aged man in gorgeous clothes sat. As soon as Romon came in, he kept looking at him. Romon also glanced at the man's appearance.
Perhaps because Miss Aline's appearance was as good as her mother, Romon looked at it at first and it was really difficult to associate the wrinkled old man in front of him with the cute girl as cute as an angel.
The Baron's face was not very good at this time, and there were traces of old age at the corners of his eyes, which were profound and touching. Although he was wearing a gorgeous robe, his old body was hard to hide.
Seeing Romon come in, he coughed softly, and then asked knowingly: "Are you Romon?"
Romon only looked at him from a distance, and saw him asking, he had to salute and answer, "Yes, respected Baron, I am Romon."
"Romong, you did this very well. Alini told me everything. Thanks to you, there is a missing borer in my territory. To thank you, I plan to give you a piece of entourage land and let you build your own homestead and medicine fields..." Seeing that Romon came in without being humble and arrogant after entering the door, the baron felt that Romon was more and more scheming, and no longer thought about it, and said what he had thought for a long time.
Romon was stunned for a moment. He thought of the lord calling him to reward him or say something. However, the gift he suddenly said was exactly what he lacked most at the moment. A man who was about to starve to death was suddenly hit by a big pie falling from the sky. This coincidence made him speechless for a moment.
Seeing him, the baron sneered in his heart, but said, "...However, just because of this credit, I have given you a piece of escort land, and I am afraid that others will not accept it. Therefore, I plan to give you a task. This task may take some risks, but as long as you can complete it smoothly, I will immediately fulfill what I have said now. How about it? Do you think about it?"
Now, Romon also knew that this world has the saying that "fiscation is a reward for knights". A knight leader is about a thousand acres. However, under the knights, there is actually a class. These people serve the lords who grant their land by relying on their craft, knowledge, and martial arts. In fact, they are professional soldiers and professional officials under the knights.
Most of them have 200 to 300 acres of land. When the lord is in danger, he needs to bring his own spear, leather armor, shield and sword 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 equivalent to those of the knight.
Even so, a entourage is divided into civilians, strictly speaking, it is equivalent to a tax officer and other identities.
The lord said politely and was treated generously, but Romon would not really take the other party's politeness seriously. He hurriedly asked, "I wonder what the mission is the Baron referring to?"
The baron narrowed his eyes and smiled. "The forest outside the town is the periphery of the Thorn Forest, and it has never been managed better. I asked you to come here today to let you enter the forest with the adventurers and help me draw a forest map. With a map, the management of the forest can be carried out effectively, and in the future, you can also achieve the most effective layout when defending against the attacks of monsters. How about it, do you do this task?"
Seeing Romon lowering his head and thinking, the Baron added another fire: "I heard from Elini that you are a very responsible child. In order to clear a borer in the town, you are even willing to take risks and use your body as bait. Although this task is more dangerous than your last action, if it succeeds, the contribution will be greater. In fact, I decided to choose you to draw a map. First, to give you a chance to make meritorious contributions. Second, as a druid, you can choose adventurers to form groups and enter the forest more than others. Third, I trust you more. If it is someone else, I will doubt the authenticity of the map... For the interests of the territory and the townspeople, you should consider it!"
Seeing that Romon's face became more cautious, the Baron sneered in his heart. This was the solution he suddenly thought of in the carriage. It was a good way to isolate Romon and his second daughter.
Although there are only some dangers between his daughter and Romon, he is as cautious as he is unwilling to take this risk.
So, after thinking about it, I finally thought of this good idea when I met the group of adventurers on the road. That is, let Romon participate in the adventurers' actions.
The adventurer enters the forest to adventure, and it will take a long time to go back and forth. If Romon is involved, he can separate his daughter from him.
Moreover, there are many dangers in the thorn forest. Even a person with high combat skills will be almost proportionally damaged. If he is allowed to enter, if he encounters an accident and cannot come out alive, he will save him from having trouble thinking about any safe way to kill people.
However, how to get Romon to participate is a big problem. After all, Romon is now rich and has won a legacy. Why take risks? I guess Romon no longer looks down on ordinary gifts.
Thinking of what Romon might need now, the Baron simply summoned Romon with the excuse of drawing a map. He promised that if this matter succeeded, he would be given a piece of escort land and let Romon build his own residence and medicine field. With such tempting conditions, the Baron had enough reason to believe that Romon would agree.
However, in order to prevent Romon from refusing because of his timidity, the Baron simply lifted him up.
So, after the Baron said the above passage, he waited there calmly and calmly, waiting for Romon's reaction.
Romon's face changed a few times. After a while, he finally raised his head and made a decision: "I am willing to accept this task."
