In the year 1142 of the Dawn calendar, on the tenth day of the third month of the harvest season, in the study of the barons of the lord's mansion in the town of Barony Ernst.
"Autumn hunting in five days?? Let me go with ???" Looking at Baron Ernst sitting behind the desk in front of him, Rod asked his old bean with an expression of disbelief and thinking that he had misheard.
Yesterday, he decided to find a few unlucky people in the game space of the gods and build a spiritual coordinate point again, and Rhodes got up early this morning, just after the morning exercise, and after breakfast, he was called to the study by his father to discuss. Rhodes, who originally thought that there was something important, directly questioned after hearing his father's words
Autumn Hunting!
This is a traditional program of the aristocracy that has been handed down in the five northern countries!
Or, to be more accurate and figurative, it is to hunt during the three months of the harvest season when all creatures eat fat and thick bodies in order to survive the cold wind season, and the whole autumn hunting process is equivalent to a special party, so that the nobles and the younger generations who are about to come of age can get to know each other and strengthen the relationship.
Rhodes had never participated in the autumn hunt before, in addition to his own lack of interest, the rule that the heir of the nobility must be at least fifteen years old to participate in the autumn hunt was also an important reason - to hunt those fierce beasts in the Far North Mountains or those primeval forests, it is difficult to say who is hunting who if he has not reached a certain strength!
Of course, now Rhodes is not willing to participate in this kind of autumn hunting, after all, he is now busy with a mess of things and martial arts cultivation in the game space of the gods, where there is still kung fu to spend a few days or even ten days to participate in an autumn hunt? If he has this spare time, Rhodes might as well think about how to arrange a few more spiritual coordinates and practice more!
"Rod, you're not a child anymore, don't lose your temper" Looking at his son's surprised expression, Baron Ernst, who was sitting behind the desk, said with some dissatisfaction, and his face also showed a trace of helplessness.
For Rod, his eldest son, Baron Ernst, he is still very satisfied, not only in terms of physical elements. After the test of courage, the speed of progress of the whole person from the lower position of gray iron to the upper position of gray iron in more than two years (he did not know the specific situation of Rod now) surprised everyone, including Baron Ernst, and the appearance of psychological intelligence and combat skills was also praised.
However, the only thing that made Baron Ernst a little dissatisfied was that Rhodes was too casual in his private appearance, and he did not have any etiquette as a nobleman, and it would not be an exaggeration to say that he was quite childish - if Baron Ernst was also a reborn time-traveler on Earth, he would probably understand Rhodes's psychological situation.
"Rod, as the first heir of the Ernst family, you should get to know more of the heirs of the friendly family around you, and you should also consider your personal situation now" Baron Ernst, who was thinking in his heart, saw that Rod did not speak, sighed a little, and then continued to explain the relevant information to Rode.
Well, Baron Ernst's meaning is obvious, in addition to knowing people and making connections, it is to signal Rhodes to think about his personal situation, and in addition to the nobles and heirs, and the juniors who are worth cultivating, the most attractive thing is the noble ladies and the daughters of those noble families.
Although "Eh" understood his old bean's words, Rod didn't know what words he should use to answer his old bean's question now, and the expression on his face became extremely exciting.
Admittedly, Baron Ernst had a good point of thinking, and there was really nothing wrong with making friends with nobles, expanding his contacts, and thinking about the lifelong events of his eldest son. But for Rod, he is only less than 15 years old in his life, right? Isn't it too early to prepare for lifelong events at this time? I wouldn't have thought about it in my previous life!
Although Rhodes knew that men and women on Earth had been married very early (it was said that they were only twelve years old at the earliest) and that he was now reborn in this magical world, the question was that he was going to marry at the age of fifteen.
"Don't worry, you just need to come with me to participate in the autumn hunt, get to know the other nobles and show the strength of the next generation of heirs of the Ernst family! There is no requirement that you have to do it" When Baron Ernst saw his son's tangled expression, he thought for a moment, and Baron Ernst, who had generally understood, couldn't help but smile a little, and then told Rhodes with a straight face how unnecessary the necessary worries he had just now were.
For the magical world where strength is respected, Rhodes' own qualifications and strength are the most important, and as for personal communication and other aspects, they just need to get by. And the most practical aristocrats will not mind this flaw of Rhodes - they will only pay attention to the strength and potential of Rhodes!
"Well, I see, father!"
After hearing his father's explanation, Rod, who was finally relieved, nodded and agreed. After a few more conversations, Rod turned and pushed the door open and left the study.

In the study
"Monr, do you think I should send Rhodes there?"
Seeing his son turn around and go out to leave, Baron Ernst's face calmed down and lowered his head as if thinking about something, and then after about a few minutes, Baron Ernst, who raised his head, looked at the old Monter butler who had been acting as an invisible person beside him, and asked the old Monter butler with a rather complicated look.
As the butler of the nobles, he has always been the confidant of various nobles, and Monel, who has served the Ernst family for several generations, is also the confidant of Baron Ernst, so Baron Ernst sometimes consults him, and Monster is also qualified to warn his lord or put forward his own opinions and opinions.
"Master, Young Master Rod's future is in your hands and his own, maybe you should go and ask Young Master Rod's opinion" Listening to his lord's inquiry, the old housekeeper of Mon'er, who also watched Rhodes grow up, bowed down very respectfully, and then whispered his opinion to his lord.
Monel was very smart, and as a housekeeper, he also understood his position on this kind of matter, so he did not take it upon himself to give Baron Ernst any advice on how to deal with it, but reminded Baron Ernst not to ignore Rod's opinion!
"Yes, this kid Rod really needs to say something, wait for the autumn hunt to ask his own opinion!"
Hearing the words of the trusted old butler, Baron Ernst was visibly stunned, but then Baron Ernst, who stood up, walked a few steps and stopped, and after stopping, he also smiled bitterly and agreed with his butler's opinion.
After crossing the reborn route, Rhodes made a very deep impression on his relatives and others that this child was not only quite intelligent (the adult insight of the reborn), but also had his own opinions, and after identifying the knightly path, he would never say anything halfway, but worked hard to train himself (of course, Rhodes would not say it, mainly because he was afraid of death). And Baron Ernst's headache, if it were to be told about it in the light of his own son, was indeed much better than what kind of opposition a man provoked when he decided to inform his son and then informed him.
Of course, Baron Ernst made this decision because of Rod's past appearance, and if he was replaced by an unsuccessful son, Baron Ernst would definitely not think too much about it!
"Mon'er, let's prepare for the autumn hunt and stay behind!"
After deciding on the plan, Baron Ernst was in a good mood and instructed his old butler.
"Yes! Sir!"

On the other side, the corners of Rod's mouth, who had just walked to the gate of the mansion, also pursed a smile.
"Seems to be interesting."
With the help of the power of the gods' game space, Rod of course "listened" to the discussion between his old bean and the housekeeper of Moner in the study, and also found out what his father seemed to have for himself in this life, but he was a little uncertain.
Rhodes is not worried that he will be cheated by his father, after all, no matter from which point of view, his father, Baron Ernst, has no need to murder his son!
Thinking of the fact that he was almost fifteen years old and about to step into the threshold of adulthood in the sixteen year-old mainland, Rod had a vague guess in his heart.
Sixteen years old means that the descendants of commoners and freemen can be considered laborers in adulthood, while the descendants of royals, nobles, and knights have several choices to choose from when they become adults.
If you don't have the right to inherit and are not favored and plan to go out, you don't need to say much, the family gives a sum of money and sends it directly out of the house to see your ability - basically this kind of people, except for a few who can get out of the way and become nobles and knights again, most of them have become ordinary freemen or merchants.
If you also don't have the right to inherit but don't want to go out, if you're lucky and favored, you'll arrange to do things in the territory or even have a manor or something, which can become a branch of the family and pass it on. If you are unlucky, at most you can arrange a position to ensure that you do not starve to death, and it depends on your luck and hard work in the future.
The guy with the inheritance is the luckiest and can start to do some practical things in earnest.
However, Rod looked at the meaning of his old bean, and it seemed that his arrangement was to make Baron Ernst a little embarrassed
"I'll know after the autumn hunt," Rod was not in a hurry, he thought in his heart, and then walked directly out of the gate of the lord's mansion, heading in the direction of the barracks, ready to carry out the daily exercise that he insisted on every day.
