Chapter Seventy-Two: Meeting the Baron

"Are you?" the warrior of the Warrior Regiment looked at Xiao Chen.

"I happened to be passing through here, so I took a break in the tavern. Xiao Chen said, "I was just chatting with everyone just now." ”

"Yes. Joey, the stranger, didn't do anything inappropriate. He just sat down to eat something and had a casual chat. The tavern owner defended Xiao Chen.

"Yes, he's a man you can trust. I'm so old, and I've seen a lot of people. I can tell. Daddy Amrock also said.

"yes, it's just an interesting visitor, is it necessary to make such a fuss?" the blacksmith began to interject as well.

The militia fighters here obviously don't have much deterrent power in front of the others, and everyone in the tavern, you and I excuse Xiao Chen, and the two soldiers hesitated, not knowing how to deal with this matter.

Xiao Chen smiled and said, "It seems that the current situation is very simple, you want to report to the baron and have an explanation." I just like to talk to the baron, so you might as well lead the way, and let me meet the baron. I came from outside with very important information about the plague. ”

"Plague?intelligence?, you mean those imperial ...... in Kurokiguan," a warrior had just finished speaking, when Joey stopped his mouth with a look.

Joy said, "That's the best, you come with me." Lord Baron doesn't make things difficult for anyone else. ”

————————————

Baron Paragus's house was on the north side of the town, and it didn't look too big, just a two-story house.

I heard Father Anrock say that this is just the old mansion of the original baron's family, but the original large baronial mansion was sold by the baron's father to a merchant to pay off the debt, and although Baron Palges has now redeemed the baron's house, he has not moved in.

After Joey's briefing, he handed Xiao Chen over to the servant who came to the door to greet him. Xiao Chen followed the servant inside, and as he walked, he was observing the decorations in this mansion.

Since it is an old house, there are naturally many things that have been handed down from earlier times. Xiao Chen had some guesses about the origin of this family, and let him observe this house very carefully.

The ancestors of the owner of this house were many mages and warriors, and the corridor from the antechamber to the reception room had staves, armor and weapons decorated on both sides.

Most of the staffs, weapons, and armor are similar to the styles that are popular on the mainland, but some of them are quite special. Xiao Chen saw a sword on the wall, it was different from most of the long sword gauntlets in this world with a simple geometric shape, its gauntlet was an auspicious cloud, the scabbard was straight and slender, there was also a cloud pattern decoration on it, and there was a wisp of sword spikes hanging from the tail of the hilt. The long sword that looks very old here is a Chinese sword with eight or nine points. Xiao Chen suppressed the curiosity in his heart and followed the servant to continue walking. When he came to the door of the parlor, he saw another painting, although it was painted on a canvas commonly used by the locals, and the local pigments were used, but the content was a very rare landscape. The landscape paintings painted with local pigments look a little weird, and the painter's brushwork is a little clumsy. However, the ethereal inspiration unique to Chinese painting is vividly expressed in this painting. Whether it is mountains or water, they are all sketched with a few simple strokes. He glanced at the inscription on it, and the signatures were all non-returnees.

Xiao Chen walked further and found that there was more than one such painting, which looked out of place in an ancient mansion and seemed out of place with the surrounding environment.

He was now almost certain that among the past owners of this mansion, there must have been a traveler from China. I don't know what era and by what method he crossed over here, but it looks like a lonely man.

Walking into the living room, Xiao Chen saw the current owner of this place, Baron Paragus.

The baron looked to be in his sixties, not very tall, but he looked athletic. Dressed in a set of linen clothes, he stood in the middle of the room with his hands behind his back, quietly watching Xiao Chen walk into the living room. There was also a young man beside him, who was quite close in appearance to him, probably his son Avadia.

Xiao Chen looked at the father and son, trying to find traces of Chinese blood on their faces, but he didn't find any obvious features. They all had dark brown hair, but their eyes were gray and purple, but the color of their skin was somewhat similar to Xiao Chen's own.

"Are you the one who wants to give me a report of the plague?" said Baron Paragus in a cold tone, "I'm afraid your identity is not simple, are you?

Xiao Chen's hand brushed over his face, returning to his original appearance. With black hair and black eyes, with a friendly smile: "Reintroduce myself, the Great Magician from the Tower of China, Xiao Chen." ”

"Great magician?" Xiao Chen's answer surprised the two opposites, Baron Paragus was obviously stunned, and his body unconsciously changed his posture, not as arrogant as before.

No matter how much the other party is guarding against and not waiting to see the Tower of China, he can't ignore a great magician, as the most powerful magic controller under the Sage, a mage like Xiao Chen, as long as he is given time, the power of one person is enough to destroy the entire town.

And Baron Paragus, who is only a mid-level warrior, and his son Avadia, who is still a low-level warrior, may not be able to hold on for two minutes in front of the great magician.

"How would a great magician sneak into a town like ours like this?" Avadia looked at Xiao Chen with suspicion.

Xiao Chen stood there and released part of his spiritual power, and the baron father and son suddenly felt that the man in front of them suddenly gave them a huge sense of oppression, as if a person had turned into a giant dragon that could crush them anytime and anywhere.

"Please put away your strength, Master Xiao Chen. We don't know your identity beforehand, so it's a bit of a sniff to ask you to come and talk. Baron Paragus said.

"I don't want to show off my strength, just to prove my strength and be able to avoid unnecessary misunderstandings and troubles. Xiao Chen said.

"I wonder what your purpose is in my town?" asked Paragus.

Xiao Chen said, "I originally came to inform you that the Imperial people of Heimu Pass sent a lot of plague-infected patients to infiltrate various nearby villages and towns, wanting to use the plague to wipe out our living forces.

Our people have informed you of this before, but you have not given us any feedback. So naturally someone needs to come and take a look. And I was easy to move alone, and if I met an enemy, I had enough combat power, so I took the job.

You're already the fifth village I've ever visited. The four villages in front made different choices, and naturally had different results. ”
