CHAPTER XX
Rena lay in the canopy of a large tree, hiding in the dense foliage, staring intently at the Baron Keane's palace in the distance. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
She is an adventurer, because she has inherited some special bloodlines, and her eyesight is amazingly good, so she often takes on some tasks such as reconnaissance and snooping, which can be regarded as a little famous.
Not long ago, she received a long-term assignment to scout the Barony of Keane and collect as much intelligence as possible, and the more and more detailed information she gathered, the more she could be paid.
This task is settled every ten days, and although the person who pays the money hides his identity and refuses to show his face, he only lets the adventure guild settle it on his behalf, but the money is very happy. Rena didn't want to meet with her employer, lest she be killed, and now that's right.
However, it is not easy to gather enough valuable intelligence. Rena has already handed in two missions before and after, and now it's really difficult to find new information.
For example, she had been lurking in the tree outside the Baron's Court for two days, but she had nothing to gain except to determine the residence and habits of everyone in the palace.
If she could, she didn't want to sell this kind of thing as intelligence, after all, this kind of information didn't look like it could be used for purposes other than assassination. And Baron Keane has a good reputation and strength. The previous Baron Keane was even able to carry his friend's corpse alive from the bloody killing field of "the day the sun went out", and she definitely didn't want to go to the point of irretrievable hostility with such a character.
Adventurers are looking for money, not excitement. Rena has an elderly father and a younger sibling, and has been wandering the rivers and lakes for several years. hasn't even gotten married yet, so if you get into a big trouble and die. That's a loss.
So she secretly made up her mind if she couldn't find any valuable information today. Just go to another place to investigate.
The sun was getting higher and higher, and as it was close to noon, Rena saw the former Baron Keene reading a document through a slightly remote study window.
The former baron was a legend: he was just an ordinary scholar who would write a good poem or two, and that's it. But when he succeeded him as baron, all sorts of wonderful stories happened one after another. First poisoned and near-dead, then miraculously rescued, and then lavishly purged in the territory. Almost all the spies who infiltrated the forces were wiped out. Next, he goes to the Void Mask Playground, supposedly to recruit people, only to win the legendary crazy "One Gold Coin" prize. With a huge amount of money in hand, he began to promote the agricultural reform of the territory.
Put it on someone else, it's already a complete legend. But for him, this is just the beginning of the legend.
Just when everyone thought that Baron Keane would lead his territory and subjects in stride, because of the tilt of the upper echelons of the principality, he was sent to the Eagle Kingdom to support, to fight a life-or-death battle with the orcs. Then the big battle was really earth-shattering. Hundreds of thousands of casualties were killed and wounded on both sides, and even the god of knights, the earliest god of mankind, fell as a result. But in the midst of that terrible battle, Baron Keane not only returned alive, but also brought back the body of his best friend, Swinger.
And that's not all. Wounded and sick at the time, he actually killed the enemy who tried to intercept him on the way back!
Rena was very curious about the legend, especially about the documents he was looking at. So she hesitated. The ability to inherit the bloodline was activated.
Her pale gray eyes turned silvery white in an instant, and a faint glimmer emanated from her eyeballs. If it's night. Maybe these eyes will stand out like two small light bulbs.
And when that change happened, the scene in her field of vision suddenly widened. It seemed that she had come to the study at once, and she leaned next to the papers in the hands of the former baron, and looked at them carefully.
It was a document on the army's training expenses and preparations for combat training in the near future.
Because of the angle, Rena had to concentrate to understand the document that was lying upside down relative to her. So she didn't notice that the former baron had somehow stopped looking through the papers, looked up with interest, and was looking in her direction.
[Rena, Strength Twelve, Constitution Twelve, Agility Fourteen, Perception Twenty, Intelligence Twelve, Charisma Twelve, Prestige Sixty, Class: Ranger Level 5, Scout Level 5, Warlock Level Zero, Friendship Level 60, Special Bloodline Activation]
Creek doesn't have Rena's special bloodline, but he has the ability to see character attributes. And Rena's distance from him at the moment is just within the range of what the ability can activate.
In fact, Crick spotted Rena lurking in the trees yesterday. It's just that he thinks that this person's friendship with him is not low, and it doesn't seem that he should be an enemy, so he ignored it.
Whatever the guy named Rena was trying to do, as long as the friendliness didn't change, it didn't matter much to him.
He smiled, lowered his head again, and read the document intently.
The realm has not yet been able to recover from the huge losses of the last time, and now that he is busy with all kinds of work, as a lord, he has to work hard.
This little episode did not hinder him from working, after reading the documents to be processed today, and after annotating all the things that needed to be annotated, he called his attendants, delivered the documents that needed to be sent back, and then with his hands behind his back, Shi Shiran went to the barracks to see the situation of the army.
It's been almost two months since the recruits were trained, and it's supposed to be time for them to try their hand at actual combat.
The barracks were built right next to the Baron's Palace, which can be described as neighbors. He arrived at the barracks in a short time, and saw thirty recruits under the command of Shaun James, the second son of Knight Howard James, wearing heavy armor and lining up in a neat line, meticulously practicing spear thrusts.
Seeing his arrival, Sean smiled slightly, but did not immediately come over to say hello, but first let the soldiers rest for a while before catching up.
"Your Excellency, you're a little early today. "The daily training is not done yet." ”
"I'm just coming to see how they're training. Crick laughed and said, "If nothing else, this team is neat enough." It was quite neat when they stabbed out the spear together just now. ”
Sean nodded: "That's true, I originally thought they weren't strong enough to fight well." But now it seems that this kind of honest and obedient people are also beneficial, at least they train hard and move neatly. In actual combat, it should be able to help a lot. ”
"So, would you like to let them try it out?" said Crick, "and a group of gray goblins have recently appeared in the nearby mountains, numbering about twenty to thirty. It's a bit dangerous to let those guys settle on our doorstep. I'm going to try to lure them out and set them up in an ambush. If you think you can, let them be the main force. ”
Sean lowered his head and groaned.
Grey goblins are a subspecies of goblins that are slightly stronger but less fertile. However, for human beings, as long as they are evil and ferocious goblins, all varieties are the same, and there are only two kinds of differences: "alive" and "dead".
As the commander of this new army, Sean is quite clear about the strength of his subordinates, and they have to defeat thirty gray goblins - this is theoretically the maximum, and it is always right to expect the enemy to be lenient - there should be no problem, the problem is damage.
If the loss is too great, it's not worth it.
After much consideration, the brave young knight finally made up his mind, raised his head, and said firmly, "Then let them attack! )
