Night.

The backyard of the Charcoal Inn.

Voices.

The elegant and clear scale of the lute is accompanied by the sound of crackling bonfires and sizzling barbecue, as if it also carries a salty and light fireworks.

Barrels of beer were carried out of the cellar by the waiters.

People dressed in different clothes celebrated the rare night with cheers.

in the corner.

Next to a separate barbecue grill.

Chunks of beef and a whole lamb rib were tumbling.

Roger expertly spreads the ingredients with honey and sauce.

There was a gurgling sound of saliva next to it.

"I think it's ready to eat."

Rachel looked left and right for a moment, and whispered with a serious expression.

"Here, eat this first."

Rather than embarrass the hungry girl, Roger handed over a sausage.

Rachel bites off half of it in one bite.

The greasy oily yellow juice splashed out and sprinkled on her face, and the girl flexibly stuck out her tongue and licked it clean with three strokes and five divisions.

After eating a whole sausage, Rachel stared at the grilled lamb chops.

Roger smiled and gently persuaded:

"Wait."

"It's just coming to the shelves."

Rachel's cheeks puffed out slightly, but she nodded earnestly.

In the backyard, the bard holding the lute raised his hand.

The style of the song changed abruptly, from melodious to cheerful.

There were people dressed as adventurers who whistled, and there were people who danced unbridledly.

Even Roger couldn't help but speed up the kung fu in his hands.

Everything seemed so cheerful.

As if sensing Roger's change in mood, Rachel rarely took the initiative to speak:

"Paramount Manor is a great place to be."

Roger nodded.

He already felt it.

"Can you tell me the story of Paramount Manor?"

"And the lord that everyone praises."

Roger asked softly.

Rachel looked at the white and red lamb chops, and said with a small face:

"Then I'll try."

In the girl's unique straightforward narrative, Roger has a general understanding of the land.

……

Paramount Manor consists of more than twenty nearby farms and "Dawning Town".

The lord's name is "Alain. Dominica" is a hero recognized by the local population.

From an existential threat point of view.

The abundance of magic here is about the same as that of Tongma, and it is a rare magic depression in Mystra - which means relatively few monsters and habitable water and soil.

It also means that more people can be fed.

From a geographical point of view.

To the south of the estate, there is only a river away from Gem City.

It is bordered to the north by sparsely populated glades.

To the northwest are the untouched mountains.

To the east is the bustling "Knight's Boulevard".

Adventurers from the north gather here.

They need to cross the bridge over the Serra River to get to Gem City.

This created the necessary conditions for the prosperity of the estate.

……

"Anyway, it's good for everything here."

After nibbling on a lamb chop, Rachel seriously licked all the honey off her fingers before continuing:

"Except for Jonny the Turtle."

"Jonny Turtle?"

Roger took a sip of the inn's homemade tree bubble drink and couldn't help but burp several times.

"A very troublesome monster that you can easily come across."

Rachel hugged another lamb chop and nibbled on it.

Roger chuckled and asked casually:

"Since it's so good here, why don't you consider settling here?"

Rachel replied vaguely:

"If I settle here, what about the adventurers passing by Yellowstone?"

"There's no one to pick them up."

Roger's heart moved:

"You're going to stay on Yellowstone forever?"

Rachel let out a "uh-huh" in the affirmative.

Roger was surprised, he thought Rachel would leave with Cindy.

"That's my home."

The girl finally had her mouth free to speak.

Roger nodded lightly and put down the dishes.

The atmosphere in the courtyard was even more lively.

It seems that a young man proposed to his childhood sweetheart's female partner.

The crowd laughed and coaxed, and surrounded the two of them.

Listen to the descriptions of others.

The red-faced girl is the niece of the owner of the Charcoal Inn.

The young man was the second son of the owner of Tiger Farm.

Just passed the knight certification assessment in Dawning Town a few days ago, and the future is bright.

The two eventually hugged each other and had a deep kiss.

The atmosphere came to a climax.

"I'm full."

Rachel looked at the lively crowd expressionlessly, rubbing her bulging belly involuntarily with one hand.

After a while.

She looked at Roger with those bright eyes and said:

"You're the first adventurer to invite me to a barbecue."

"Thank you."

Roger got up and smiled:

"You're welcome."

……

Late at night. Hotel room.

Placing the huge cauldron at the head of the bed, Roger began to move things out one by one.

He's on the road these days.

At this point, he had the opportunity to free up his hands to count the remaining loot.

Compared to the rest of the Savor outcasts, Humphland was simply rich.

Roger found 3 gold plates, 135 silver horns, and a large number of bronze orders in his bedroom.

Converted according to the ratio of 1 gold dish to 10,000 copper reams.

Roger is now considered a wealthy class of adventurers.

But monetary resources are only the tip of the iceberg of Humphland's proud wealth.

In that big house, Roger found a lot of equipment and props.

Carefully selected.

He took with him 2 rings, 1 set of heavy armor, 1 belt, 3 books, a bundle of "Forbidden Identification Scrolls", and a few other bits and pieces.

These trophies occupy most of the storage sacs of the crucible, so Roger has to sigh "Sure enough, the backpack is not enough for many compartments".

First of all, those 2 rings.

Even in the dim light of a candle, Roger could see the simple arcane runes on the ring.

……

"Ring of Asgard (Set 1/6)"

"Rating: SS"

"Attribute: Charisma +1"

"Special Effect: 4% reduction in all damage you take"

……

"Ring of Scamorra"

"Rating: SS"

"Attribute: Intelligence +1"

"Enchantment Summons a Viper"

"Summoning Vipers: Two Ring Spells, you can summon a large number of vipers to attack enemies in a designated area, and the type and grade of vipers depend on your intelligence."

……

All of them are the best rings.

In Roger's opinion, no matter what their special effects and enchantment effects are, as long as they are equipment with direct attributes, they can be directly lifted into the threshold of S+.

What's more, both are not bad.

Also using the Ninth Spell of Mistra as a catalyst, the "Ring of Scamora" is much more reliable than the Ring of Suicide.

Not only can the viper be summoned repeatedly, but it doesn't have to worry about whether it will turn back on itself.

The recharge time of the enchantment is half an hour.

This means that Roger can play with snakes without having anything to do.

And the effect of the "Ring of Asgard" is even more addictive.

"It's too overbearing to reduce injuries across the board."

"After assembling the Asgard six-piece set, you can get a 40% overall damage reduction."

"I just don't know where to find the rest of the parts."

Roger put on the two rings without saying a word.

One left and one right is just right.

Next is that thick belt.

……

"Macho Belt (Leather Goods)"

"Rating: S+"

"Attribute: +10% your stamina and stamina recovery speed"

"Special Effect: Your waist and abdomen strength has been greatly increased."

"Dark Grid (4): Unsecured Weapons or Items"

……
