Chapter 10: The Arrival of the Ogre
(Chapter 2 arrives!) Thank you for the 140813115025798 tip! Strive to collect, click, ask for tickets, ~~~~~~)
Rhodes, who proved his strength, soon enjoyed the same treatment as the stars in his previous life, and everyone, including Viscount Thor and the two silver-rank professionals, looked at Rod a little differently in their hearts!
Although Rod's watch just now did not surpass the gray iron upper or even gray iron median table, but that terrifying presence and ability to grasp the timing really made those nobles, knights, and magicians who watched feel a special beauty, a kind of skill beauty that is completely different from the strength of the individual but quite peculiar!
If these people were still a little joking about Rod's "genius" title before, then now after actually watching Rod's knife test, everyone, including the two silver-rank fighters, have recognized Rod's "genius" title - if this amazing table is not a genius, then what kind of person is a genius?
Of course, after Rod's cousin, no one doubts that he himself hunted two snow bears. Even many people felt that the first place in the autumn hunt and the reward of the fine enchanted knight armor would fall directly on Rhodes's head - the other noble teenagers who participated in the autumn hunt were basically gray iron ranks, and it was really impossible to hunt the prey above the two snow bears in the autumn hunting ground, unless they could hunt a magical beast!
Obviously, it was a very unfunny joke to let the noble boys of the gray iron rank hunt the lowest demonic beast equivalent to the red bronze rank, and it was much more difficult for the nobles to believe this kind of thing than it was for Rhodes to hunt the snow bear without injury.
However, Rod's cousin also brought some other problems, such as the fact that the nobles who came with their families or had daughters and nieces of the same age began to discuss the possibility of marriage with Baron Ernst. Even the Viscount Saul, the nobleman of the highest rank, had a good conversation with Baron Ernst in the evening, and in the course of his conversation he vaguely expressed his interest in marrying the Ernst family, especially Rod Ernst himself.
In this magical world, those who can become nobles either have a good level of strength or intelligence, and it is clear that Rhodes himself has won the attention of all nobles - a future genius worth paying a certain price to woo!
In the same way, although Baron Ernst was a little puzzled by his son's amazing expression, he still fully used aristocratic words such as "not yet the time" and "a little early" when facing other nobles trying to marryβafter all, Rod's expression was really beyond Baron Ernst's expectations, and the consideration of finding a suitable partner for his eldest son in this autumn hunt was outdated at present.
Rod himself didn't care, except for a little explanation to his dad in the evening, the rest of the time was to continue to temper himself in the gods game space and outside.
But soon, when Rod thought that if the autumn hunt was over in two days at most, the boutique enchanted knight armor would fall directly into his pocket, an unexpected thing happened in this autumn hunting ground the next day.
ββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββ
In the early morning of the next day, the edge of the autumn hunting grounds, which was almost 300 square kilometers, was demarcated.
"Whew"
A giant humanoid monster with dark blue skin walked into the autumn hunting ground that had been checked by Viscount Thor's hunters who were good at fighting in the mountains and forests a few days ago, and confirmed that there were no dangerous creatures and made certain arrangements. The humanoid monster looked at least three meters tall with an ugly head, but its huge size and strong muscles were quite impressive, and it held a huge wooden stick in its right hand and dragged it on the grass.
Ogre!
If someone now sees the appearance of this monster who doesn't care about the monster feces placed by the hunter as the blockade of the Autumn Hunting Grounds, they will shout out a fairly well-known monster race name!
The ogre monster of this magical world got its name because it would eat the humans it killed or captured for food - and of course, the same would happen to other creatures or monsters.
However, this kind of notorious monster among humans is not a cannon fodder race like goblins and gnolls, and adult ogres are a powerful monster race comparable to the bronze rank. If it weren't for the well-equipped human warriors and mages who both belonged to the red bronze rank, the human warriors and mage apprentices who were generally of the gray iron rank and did not have an absolute advantage in number and equipment would better take a detour when they saw this kind of monster, otherwise it would easily become the other party's food!
No way! The ogres in this world can reach the bronze level by strength alone, and the monsters that can reach the bronze rank are really not opponents that ordinary people can defeat, not to mention that ogres are generally monster races that operate in tribal units, and there are often rumors of ogre tribes attacking human villages and towns in the first few hundred years of the Dawning Calendar.
Of course, thankfully, such dangerous monsters are now rare in the human realm, and as soon as they are discovered, the regular army and the human powerhouses will carry out a devastating blow to this dangerous monster race!
The ogre who stepped into the autumn hunting ground now was obviously not in Viscount Thor's expectations, because this autumn hunting ground near the outskirts of the Far North Mountain Range was just a place for Viscount Thor to give to young people, and if the ogre, a bronze-level monster, ran in, it was purely an out-of-specification elite boss sweeping through the novice village - if Rhodes and those bronze-rank knights and warriors didn't make a move, all the noble teenagers who participated in the autumn hunt together would not be enough for an ogre to fight head-on!
However, it is a little strange that this ogre actually has several hideous wounds on his body that have begun to heal but can still be seen from the original horror, and less than five minutes after this ogre stepped into the autumn hunting ground, a dozen or so equally tall ogres embraced an even taller and terrifying figure and stepped into the edge of the autumn hunting grounds.

Fox Lean, who is just 15 years old this year and two months shy of turning 16 (this role is provided by Lifox, a book friend in the book review area), feels that this autumn hunt seems to be his lucky start.
As the second son of Baron Lane in Sirtshire, Fox Lane is of course incomparable to his eldest brother who has risen to the bronze rank at the age of twenty-one and has become a full knight and has the first right to inherit.
No matter how you look at it, Charlie, who is now only on the gray iron throne, will not be able to inherit his father's barony.
However, Charlie, as the favored second son of the Baroness, at least the Baron himself still intends to think more about the future of his second son, rather than letting his eldest son drive the second son out of the house at that time.
So this year's autumn hunt Baron Leen brought his second son over, planning to help his second son find a suitable noble girl to marry, so that his second son can have a broader future in the future!
Charlie also understands his father's hard work, but under the high bounty before Viscount Saul's autumn hunt, Charlie, who originally just had the idea of finding a suitable partner to talk about love on the autumn hunt, was faced with the temptation of a high bounty and Viscount Saul's appreciation, and his unwilling ambition burned like a prairie fire.
"If I can get the first place in the autumn hunt, the fine enchanted knight armor, the attention of Viscount Thor, and the different eyes of my father" With this YY (or dream) idea, Charlie took ten squires and a official knight of the bronze rank canonized by Baron Riehn under the protection of the official knight, and plunged into the autumn hunting ground for almost a day and a half.
During this time, Charlie felt as if he had been swept up by luck, and on the afternoon of the first day, he was lucky enough to spot a small herd of more than a dozen bighorn reindeer (Note 1)!
Seeing this group of prey whose strength is basically negligible (a strong ordinary person can subdue a bighorn reindeer) and whose value is quite high (a dead adult bighorn reindeer fur, antlers, deer blood, and meat can be sold for five or six gold crowns, and the price can more than double if he is alive), it is no wonder that Charlie feels that he has been favored by luck.
If Charlie had been able to capture all of the bighorn reindeer alive, he would have been 100% able to win the first place in previous autumn hunts - of course, this harvest might not have been able to win the first place in this autumn hunt!
In this case, Charlie, who saw the hope of victory, took the knights and squires of the family who protected him, and chased the small bighorn reindeer herd all the way, preparing to capture all the bighorn reindeer herd alive.
When the sky was dark, Charlie, who had carefully formed an encirclement, was about to give the order to be caught alive, when suddenly the bighorn reindeer herd that had gathered in one place seemed to feel some danger, and the male adult reindeer who were in charge of the herd vigilance suddenly neighed, and then more than a dozen bighorn reindeer that were extremely alert in the wild environment were alerted, and then almost all ran out of the encirclement that had not been completely closed under Charlie's stunned gaze!
"Hell! What's going on???" Seeing that only three old and weak big-horned reindeer were left, Charlie, who had just done the first dream of autumn hunting and gaining fame and fortune, couldn't accept it, and stood up from the grass and shouted very loudly.
But immediately, the attendants and knights of the Baron de Lie family, who were a little puzzled and thought that some guy had accidentally alarmed the herd of bighorn reindeer, knew why the herd of bighorn reindeer, which had been resting quietly, suddenly woke up and fled.
"Roaring !!!"
"Boomβ"
With a roar, an ogre burst out of the forest like a rampage chariot and appeared in front of everyone in Baron Lee's family.
(Note 1: The appearance of the bighorn reindeer resembles that of a wild deer, usually about half the size, and the meat is quite delicious.) It is a valuable herbivore, and it is also domesticated by humans in the five northern countries, but there are not many of them. )
