Sorry, there's only one update today!

…………………………

Early the next morning, an indoor hot spring in Alfred Manor.

Roland and the centaur girl Christie were both standing in front of a silver portal, but they both looked very excited, as if they had written those two words on their faces.

As a result of Catherine's "retention" yesterday, Roland did not leave that day, but spent an evening in the manor.

Of course...... It was the most wonderful night since Roland came into the world.

Otherwise, how could it be that until now, his face still showed a strange smile like an aftertaste from time to time.

However, at the time of this departure, Catherine should have come to see her off. But because she was so "tired" last night, it is not convenient for her to show up now.

"Christie, are you ready? Next, we're going southwest of Bruman to look for the ruins of Metcalfe. ”

Roland took a deep breath and said softly.

"Of course, I'm ready!"

"Come on, then, first we're going to go to our territory."

As soon as the words fell, Roland led Christie into the teleportation array, and with a buzz, disappeared into the mist-filled indoor hot spring.

When they disappeared, the silver portal shrank, turned into a point of light, and then disappeared into thin air.

"...... this?"

With a bang, Christie only felt that the scene in front of her suddenly turned, and she found herself in a completely unfamiliar place.

"Lord Roland, this is ............"

Just when the centaur girl wanted to say something, a strange feeling appeared in her mind, hate, hostility, wanting to kill the other party, as if she had met an enemy.

In an instant, Christie quickly bent his bow and arrow, and with his intuition, aimed the arrow in his hand in the direction behind him.

She hurriedly looked intently, only to see a woman with dark purple hair and two dragon horns standing not far away.

From the other party's eyes, it can be seen that the guy also has a strong hostility towards himself.

As long as you pay close attention, you will find that the purple-haired woman already has a huge amount of magic behind her, ready to attack at any time.

What's going on?

Roland's mind was full of surprise as he looked at the scene in front of him, and his mind had not yet recovered from the calm.

But...... That purple-haired woman is Galia.

These two people obviously didn't know each other before, why did they start fighting each other as soon as they met, and from the atmosphere of the two of them, it was simply the level of mortal enemies.

"Humph! Half-Dragon...... Lord Roland, this half-dragon is definitely very dangerous, a brutal creature, let me kill her. ”

Centaur girl Christie whispered with a layer of frost over her face.

"Mr. Roland, why did you bring back these stupid centaurs? Those guys are so terrible that they often make some terrible decisions. ”

Galia smiled disdainfully, looked disdainfully at the arrow in the centaur girl's hand, and said slowly.

"Wait...... Christie, Galia, you don't seem to know each other, do you? How did this happen? ”

A wry smile appeared on Roland's face and said.

He was really confused by the scene in front of him, could it be that there was some kind of hatred between these two women?

"Well, so to speak...... We centaurs have never liked lizards. ”

"Hmph, you terrible centaurs will always be my prey to hunt, weakling."

After hearing Roland's inquiry, Christie and Galia did not immediately stop this confrontation, but vaguely exuded the momentum on their bodies, like a prelude to a storm.

"That's enough, stop me."

Seeing this, Roland couldn't help frowning, he didn't want to see the two of them killing each other.

Christie's rank is not very high, twenty or thirty levels lower than the former lord: Galia. If the two start a fight, then the only possibility that awaits Christie's ending is death.

"I don't care what hatred you have between you, but from now on you are companions, and this kind of thing will not be allowed to happen in the future."

Roland took a deep breath, looked around with a solemn expression, and said in a cold voice, "Of course...... If any of you want to leave, that's a different story. ”

As soon as the words fell, the courtyard fell into a dead silence, except for the sound of the breeze whistling.

At this time, although Sty and the others did not seem very willing, because it was Roland's order, they had to temporarily put aside their hatred and obey his order.

They hesitated for a moment, but finally acquiesced to this mention, slowly suppressed the hostility in their bodies, and temporarily gave up the idea of killing each other.

"Well, as an employee, of course I will follow your employer's instructions. But if that stupid centaur betrays you, I'll kill her as soon as I can. ”

"Hmph, I would never betray Mr. Roland, but you...... Ambitious half-dragon people. ”

Although Christie and Galia have given up on their decision to fight, they are still in a hostile state, and from time to time they will taunt each other, almost like best friends who have been robbed of their boyfriends.

“………………”

Faced with such a situation, even Roland couldn't help but feel a headache.

From what they just said, it can be clearly known that there is really a relationship between these two races that is similar to that of natural enemies. There's no reason for it, it's just that they don't like each other.

"Okay, okay...... Christie, Galia, let's all go back to the hall and discuss! The next thing we need to do is go through the forest area. ”

Roland sighed, left a word, and walked towards the house.

For the rest of his life, he travels to the forests southwest of Bruman in search of Metcalfe's relics.

First of all, Galia definitely can't go, and who knows if she'll have some kind of moth with Christie.

However, during this time away, Roland needs to explain the arrangements for the territory.

For example, moving the Shadow Theater Troupe's stronghold to the realm of the real world was Roland's temporary decision. Because of her ability to use territory-based cards, Galia was able to continue to "recruit" new soldiers even while he was away from town.

Fortunately, the "army" of the Shadow Legion turned out to be a class card, and it could barely be counted

Of course, it's not just the "Shadow Legion Stronghold" that is included in the arrangement, but also two newly purchased white common cards, [Fort of Research] and [Temple of Advancement of Heavy Armor].

These two white cards cost 400 and 600 cards, respectively, and are not very expensive territory cards.

Merely...... The effect of the cards is much inferior to that of the Shadow Legion stronghold.

Both the cooldown time of both the [Research Castle] and the [Temple of Advancement of Heavy Armor] is a bit long. For example, the [Research Castle] can recruit a specific type of research scholar every 10 days.

The [Hall of Promotion] is a "Heavy Soldier" that can pay a certain amount of materials and then promote a Shadow Legion soldier to a "Heavy Soldier" with strong defensive capabilities.

But the promotion rate is really not high, only a pitiful 10.

Although they are not very efficient, Roland still has great expectations for them.

He believed...... With the help of these Territory Cards, this southwestern part of Bruman will become the most prosperous place in all of Aenoble.

……………………

After a while, in the lord's room of Maple Town, everyone gathered in the hall, waiting for Roland's speech.

Even the old mayor Jonathan and some of the more prestigious residents were invited by Roland because there was something they had to know.

"Ahem, I'm going to announce one thing next, I'm going to leave the town and enter the forest shortly after."

"Hoggs, you stay in Maple Leaf Town and take care of the town's security. By the way, at a later date, new soldiers will join us. ”

"During my absence, Galia's orders will be equal to my orders, and she will govern the territory on my behalf."

"And Mayor Jonathan, I want some of the town to form a guard and have Hoggs teach them...... Of course, this is voluntary. ”

Roland looked around, muttered for a moment, and said everything he had to explain.

"I'm okay with that, I don't want to see that disgusting centaur."

"Yes, master!"

"I think they'll agree to win, because the town has always wanted to have a convoy. But due to the suppression of those gnolls, the convoy has not been able to be built...... Now the opportunity has come to protect Maple Town with our own hands. ”

No one present raised any objection to his opinion.

So this provisional council, which was finished without any accidents, was simply beyond Roland's imagination.

As for the people who enter the exploration, it doesn't take much, Roland himself, Retanas, and the centaur girl Christie.

In the original plan, he was supposed to take Galia, who is level 70, and temporarily hand over the task of managing the town to the old mayor Jonathan.

But what Roland didn't expect was that Galia and Christie would have an irreconcilable conflict.

In desperation, he had no choice but to choose Christie, because if he found the ruins of Metcalfe, the role of the centaur girl would obviously be much greater.

So at this time, Galia can only stay in the camp.

Wait for them to be in danger, and then find a way to bring her by teleportation.

"Didn't anyone give an opinion? Well, now it's time for me to leave, and hopefully I'll be able to see a brand new Maple Town when I return. ”

Roland looked at the people who had no strange looks on their faces, and said softly, ready to get up from the chair and leave.

You must know that he doesn't have a lot of time, both the turmoil in the imperial capital and the pure and dark church that is eyeing him, each of which is a headache for Roland.

"My lord, if you go into the forest, maybe it's better to take this with you."

Suddenly, Jonathan, the old mayor of the town, got up to stop Roland and handed him a wooden necklace in his hand.

What kind of necklace is this?

The moment Roland took the wooden necklace, he first felt ordinary, as if it had been carved with a knife, could it be some kind of talisman.

But just as he was about to put it back in his pocket and give a perfunctory thank you to the old mayor, a strange feeling came over him.

With a buzz, a faint spiritual power slammed into his body.

However, these spiritual powers are not hostile, and it feels like a key that wants to sense something, constantly spreading around.

"Jonathan, really, what is this?"

Roland looked at the old mayor beside him with a puzzled gaze and asked.

In an instant, he actually felt that this old mayor Jonathan seemed a little uneasy, you must know that this kind of key-like prop is not something that a small town can have.

Unless there's some special story behind the old mayor......

"Please don't mind, Lord Lord, this is just an ordinary talisman that has been with me from the past to the present! I'm giving it to you now, because I'm sure you're going to make Maple Town a better place, Your Lord. ”

Mayor Jonathan said indifferently, not caring about the necklace at all.

Anyone else might think that the wooden necklace would have no value. But Roland was different, because he could sense that this necklace was definitely the key to a certain place, and it could not be wrong.

"Thank you, Mayor Jonathan."

Since Mayor Jonathan didn't say anything anymore, Roland didn't shirk it and resolutely accepted this "valuable" gift.

"Christie, Retanas, get ready to go."

Suddenly, Roland nodded, and slowly left the town with the red-haired girl and the centaur girl beside him, and walked towards the forest area outside.

Unfortunately, there weren't any maps of the vast wasteland, so they had to find their destination in the vast wooded area, which would take at least a few weeks.

Just as they came to the exit of the town, something unexpected happened.

A blacksmith from a small town came to Roland and handed him a thick piece of paper.

However, when Roland saw the paper, a look of surprise immediately appeared on his face.

Because he found that the paper had a lot of locations in the southwestern part of the Bruman Empire, and they were much more detailed than the maps he had seen in the forum in his previous life.

You must know that this barren land is very dangerous, and no one is willing to enter it, so one of the reasons why outsiders do not understand this forest.

But how did the blacksmith get his hands on this map?

"My lord, I heard that your lord is going into the forest, maybe it can help?"

Just when Roland was puzzled, the blacksmith smiled slightly and said generously.

"Thank you...... It's your pay, hopefully enough. ”

In an instant, Roland's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly took out a gold coin and threw it towards the blacksmith not far away.

If compared to a normal currency, it is clear that this map is worth more.

Although it is just an ordinary piece of paper, it is even more attractive than gold for those who want to venture southwest of Bloomman, but the inhabitants of this area are not aware of it.

"No, no, no...... I don't need these things. ”

When the blacksmith looked up, he found that Roland and the others had disappeared, leaving him alone with the gold coin.

He sighed, "Two days ago someone said that the darkness in the forest was about to move...... Let's hope the lord will be fine. ”
