Chapter 112: Fighting for Justice
The next morning, Lawson was woken up by the sound of a rooster crowing, and when he opened his eyes, he looked around him and realized that he was not in his rental house.
Lawson was just about to wash up and then run out for a stroll to enjoy the castle scenery, when the door suddenly rang.
"Lord Rosen, are you up? The Earl has commanded me to invite you to breakfast. Outside the door came the voice of the maid Anne.
"Okay, I'll be right here." Rosen jumped out of bed, tidied up his clothes a little, opened the door and walked out, following Anne to the Count of Ferencs.
In the dining room, Rosen not only saw the Duke of Ferenc, who was obviously bathed and shaved, and looked a lot more energetic, but also his wife Elisabeth Bathory.
I have to say that Elizabeth is indeed quite beautiful, with a fair complexion and a bewitching figure, although the lady's dress on her body makes her a little more dignified, but she can't hide the trace of charm between her eyebrows, and she seems to be tugging at the heartstrings of others.
If it weren't for the fact that Rosen knew exactly who she was, maybe he would have some different ideas.
Although Elizabeth looks seductive and charming, she is not a watery poplar, perhaps this has something to do with the fact that she has a high vision and not everyone can get into her eyes.
Although she married the Count of Ferenc and became a countess, she was also a nobleman, from the Bathory family, which also used the same prestige and vast territory.
Because of her extraordinary background, she naturally has a bit of arrogance, which is the case when she looks at Rosen at this time.
"Madam, this is Rosen, a warrior from the East, who is both my guest and my friend." Count Ferenc introduced Rosen to his wife.
"Rosen, this is my wife, Elizabeth Bathory, a woman who manages all the realms and riches for me." This is how the Count of Ferenc introduced his wife.
"Hello, ma'am." Lawson stood up and bowed his chin.
At this time, although there was already a kiss ceremony, Lawson was not aware of it. Especially since he is just a civilian now, if he kisses the hand, he has to bend one knee and do a half-kneeling position, and then shake hands and kiss him, he doesn't want to be inferior.
"Hello, I've heard of your legendary deeds, the only male Amazon warrior, I didn't expect you to be from the East." Elizabeth was a little careless at first, but when she heard Rosen's name, her eyes suddenly lit up, a smile appeared on her cold face, and she stretched out her hand to Rosen in a drooping gesture.
Depend on! I didn't even dodge. Rosen cursed in his heart, but pretended not to know the so-called kiss ceremony, stepped forward and just shook her fingers, and then sat back in the distance.
Rosen's move made Elizabeth's face sink slightly, but Count Ferenc smiled and said: "Rosen is from the East, and it's normal that he doesn't know how to kiss hands, so don't care too much." ”
With that, Count Ferenc beckoned Rosen to sit down for dinner.
The breakfast is not very rich, and it is not even delicious when eaten by Lawson, but the interesting thing is that whether it is bread or milk or something, after eating it, there is a certain attribute bonus, although it is temporary, but it also makes Lawson have a kind of surprise.
It's a pity that these things are unlikely to be brought out of this world, at most they are eaten here, and there are not many attributes added temporarily, and they don't last long, so they are not very useful.
However, it gave Lawson a new idea, that is, whether the food in this world will have similar properties, whether it can restore health like some arcade games, if his guess is correct, it would be very cool.
"Rosen, in order to celebrate my safe return this time, I will hold a sumptuous banquet tonight, when many nobles will arrive, I now invite you to come to the banquet, and I will introduce some friends to you at that time." Count Ferenc looked at Rosen and said, "I wonder if you are willing to accept my invitation?" ”
"Of course I do, it's my pleasure." Lawson nodded in agreement.
"Dangchang." Elizabeth put the cutlery on the table, got up and said, "I'm full." Then he turned and departed.
"Your faux pas has made Elizabeth have a -50 opinion of you, and the relationship between the two parties is cold."
Rosen smiled faintly, completely unconcerned about Elizabeth's bad attitude towards him.
If he really cared about his relationship with Elizabeth, he would kiss her decisively when she stretched out her hand, and his reputation of +1 legendary power, coupled with his respectful attitude, was enough to increase Elizabeth's favorability towards him a lot.
It's just that Rosen doesn't feel the need to do so.
Because although the main quest he needs to do this time is related to Elizabeth, he doesn't necessarily need to be on good terms with her. Besides, with a Count of Ferencs who had just realized that there was a meadow above his head, he was watching, and Rosen didn't want to be the object of his suspicion.
"Your attitude makes Count Ferenc +60 opinion of you, and the relationship between the two sides is friendly."
Rosen smiled again. A small action, in exchange for a favorability of -50 on one side, and a favorability of +60 on the other, how to choose, do you need to say?
After breakfast, Count Ferenc took Rosen on a tour of the castle, telling the castle its long history and the stories that had happened in various places, while showing his wealth and wealth.
The reason why Count Ferenc treated Lawson as a commoner was not because he was a warrior from the East and the reputation of the only male Amazon in legend, but because of his incomparable strength and extraordinary alchemical items that made him covet even the earl.
Rosen could see that Count Ferencz had a plan to recruit him, but he didn't agree, but casually turned the conversation to the werewolves he had killed last night and the vampires he had seen.
Until now, Rosen still has some confusion about the background of this world, and he wants to understand how Elizabeth Bathory, who once existed in the real world, will be related to vampires and werewolves.
It just so happened that Count Ferenc was in front of him, and his attitude was very good, and of course Rosen took the opportunity to extract some useful information from his mouth.
"It's a long story." Count Ferenc sighed leisurely and said, "As early as fifty or sixty years ago, there was a war that affected many countries, and because of the tragic fighting, countless deaths were so great that many corpses were not covered up, and finally decomposed and caused a widespread plague, at that time tens of thousands of innocent people died, and the tragedy was terrible. ”
"Just when this kind of people are about to die, there are two evil races, vampires and werewolves, some people say that they are the demons of hell, the minions of the demon kings of hell, and they came to the world to create more killings in order to please them."
After a slight pause, Count Ferenc smiled mockingly, "It's just that these are all lies made up by ignorant people to scare others and themselves. ”
"And how did they come about?" Rosen saw that he looked like I knew the truth and was coming to ask me, so he took the opportunity to ask.
"Regardless of how they came from, as long as they are evil, they should be killed." Count Ferenc said impassionedly: "In order to prevent them from continuing to poison the innocent people, our Nadasdi family has been committed to encircling them, but they are so powerful that they can be spread by biting and sucking blood, and it is as difficult as hoeing the weeds to kill them all, so that I have been fighting for many years, but I have never been able to kill them all." ”
"Now they are so arrogant that they dare to ambush me, it's an unforgivable sin."
Speaking of this, Ferencs was already full of resentment, but with a bit of helplessness, as if he was an isolated fighter.
When he looked at Rosen, his eyes were full of eagerness and hope, and he said, "But when I met you, I saw hope again." ”
"Rosen, although you are from the far east, I can see that you are a warrior with a sense of justice and trustworthy, so I hope you will join me and do your part to eradicate the invasion of good people by evil forces."
"With your powerful combat power and amazing archery skills, we can definitely kill the vampires and werewolves, so that the light of God can shine again to every corner of the world, answer me, will you help me?"
Although it was evident from the way Count Ferenc flickered when he mentioned the origins of vampires and werewolves that he was not telling the truth, it was impossible not to be impressed by such an earl's eager invitation.
At this time, Rosen understood why the so-called great sages in ancient times always had to put on a shelf for people to invite before they came out of the mountain, in addition to raising their own value, mainly because this feeling of being begged by a high-ranking big man was really cool.
"Trigger a random mission: Fight for justice, warmly invited by Count Ferenc, you can join his command as a mercenary, and after completing the mission, you can get a reward merit point of +50, experience point +30, and reputation point +80."
"Notes: It is beneficial to complete the main quest and obtain the attribute bonus attached to the banner of the Nadas family, +1 agility, +50% chance of being hit by bullets and arrows, etc."
"In order to fight evil and uphold justice, of course I am willing to help you......" Rosen said with a smile, seeing Count Ferenc's smile as if he was about to speak, he hurriedly said: "But eradicating evil also requires a cost, your dignified Earl can't let me work for a day, so what kind of salary can you give me?!" ”
"Huh?!" Count Ferenc was dumbfounded, obviously he didn't expect that he would speak impassionedly for a long time, but Rosen turned out to have such an attitude.
Shouldn't a real warrior just put his life aside as soon as he hears that he is going to fight evil, and rush forward desperately, not caring about personal gains and losses at all? What's the matter with this guy in front of him mentioning money with just one mouth?! This style of painting is wrong!
