Chapter 18: The Little Banquet (Part II)
When Romon woke up again, it was already the next day, and when he got up from bed, he was a little surprised to find that the weather was very good today, the sun was shining through the window, and the breeze was light, which made people feel happy.
A few steps to the ground floor of the inn, Romon glanced at it, and found that it was at least eight o'clock in the morning, and there was only one middle-aged man in the inn who was leaning on a wooden chair, holding a glass of beer, enjoying himself leisurely.
As soon as he came downstairs, the middle-aged man raised his glass to him and said, "Hey, Romon, I heard yesterday that you became a druid, and it's worth celebrating!"
This middle-aged man was the tax collector of the mayor's mansion in the town, Bakas, who was said to be a relative of the baron, and it was natural that important positions were held by relatives of the lord.
"Celebrate what?" Romon was slightly stunned.
"Hey, you're only fifteen, you've become a druid, and your deeds have spread throughout the realm!hahaha!" said the tax collector Bakas in an exaggerated tone, "Cheers to me for being able to add a tax collector in the future!"
As he spoke, he took a big sip of beer.
"Thank you, Mr. Bakas!" said Romon blushing slightly.
"Let's have a drink, I'm in for a treat, and drinking some beer in the morning is good for your health!" Bakasi smiled and pushed a glass of beer in front of Romon "Your Excellency, Lord Lord, should know the news today, there will be a reward, and you will be a rich man in the future." β
"Thank you, a toast to your health!" Romon took it, smiling and whispering in response, while gently touching Bakasi's glass with the wooden rim.
This calm demeanor made Bakasi squint his eyes slightly. Romon nodded and went out, of course, to the temple again, waiting for the temple to deliver the lord's news.
"Oh, Romon, you did a good job, and although I already knew the news yesterday, I am very happy today. Miss Elenie said with a cheerful expression.
"Miss Elenie, it is my pleasure. Romon said.
"Yes, Romon but, supposedly, you owe a lot of money right now!" said Reverend Turnis, glancing at him.
"Yes, Reverend Turnis, I owe the union 100 silver coins last time, and 50 silver coins sporadically. After a moment's hesitation, Romon said again, "I still owe Master Jerfa a sum of money." β
It's not a lie, it's just not clear, but even if it's a lot now, it's not a small amount.
"In this case, according to tradition, for non-warrior professions, full freeman rights will be granted, but to become a freedman, you must not be in debt, this money, you must pay it off, in order to be recognized by the lord!" Pastor Turnis looked a little proud.
Romon was speechless, his gaze glancing at the people present.
"Romon is already a druid, although this is a sum of money, but it can be afforded, why don't you get full freeman rights in advance?" Miss Eleni was a little unbearable, but she couldn't give this large sum of money to Romon for no reasonβit was not a small amount for her.
"This is a rule, it should not be violated, especially us, it should be clear, but there is no way, you can become a member of our temple!" Pastor Tenis said, with a twinkle in his eyes.
Becoming a member of the temple, of course, the benefits are not bad, there is a salary of 10 silver coins per month, if it was the former Romon, maybe he would have agreed, but now, with the heads of modern people, they all know that it is not a good thing, because the priest in front of him, but the manager of this temple, has become his subordinate, it is really a crime to add, why is there no word.
However, the assets that Romon now has are not even fifty silver coins, which also includes the last time he was at the gate of the temple, he accidentally got a gold coin to make it up.
Thinking of this, Luo Meng couldn't help but smile bitterly, but he couldn't think of a way for a while, and after being depressed for a while, he had to reply respectfully: "I have promised Master Jerfa to become his student, and I can't work in the temple at present...... However, I would like to learn about herbs from Pharmacist Anson. β
"Well, managing herbs will be hard......" Hearing that he was reluctant to enter the temple, Pastor Tenis said with some hesitation.
Although the medicine garden is within the scope of the temple, it does not completely belong to the temple, it is shared with Anson, and now there is one more, of course he is unwilling
Romon bowed and said, "Pastor Tennis, I am not afraid of hard work, moreover, I just want to learn from Mr. Anson, I will live outside in the future, of course, if there is a need in the future, I am very willing to serve the goddess and the church." β
"Then, starting tomorrow, you can come to the temple and learn from Anson. Sensing Miss Elini's gaze, Pastor Turnis hesitated for a moment, and finally uttered the words.
"Yes, Reverend, thank you very much. Beamon's heart was filled with joy, and he bowed and said, "Then I will retire." β
Seeing that there was nothing to say, Romon bowed deeply again and withdrew.
Romon walked with great regret, the town is very small, Pastor Tenis wants to embarrass him, Jayfa's money can't be hidden, sooner or later he will know, even if he hides it.
However, as soon as he could not pay off the arrears, Pastor Tenis had a reason to make things difficult for him, and he delayed issuing the real free civil certificate and the documents allowing the store to open.
"Romon, how's it going?" Out of the temple, there wasn't much time for Fafer to come.
Romon didn't hide it, he said it one by one, after listening to it, Fafer's face was a little gloomy, he lowered his head and thought about it, and said: "Pastor Turnis is in the town, he once pursued the eldest daughter of Baron Roccas, but it didn't work, and now he pursues the second lady, Miss Alini, this is something that everyone knows, you used to be very close to Miss Alini, he was jealous, this time it's to make things difficult for you!"
Even Fafer knew about Miss Eleni, and Romon had to sigh that his previous self was really not sensitive to this, and he said with some annoyance: "Then what should I do? I originally wanted to open a store, just to arrange for Nick, even if Nick is cured, there will be great sequelae, strong physical activity, fast running, fierce fighting, no, then there is no other way except to do business." β
After a pause, he said, "I was the one who caused him." β
"Well, it's not your fault, if you hadn't paid for Nick, he'd be dead. Fafer let out a long sigh and looked helpless, "And, if it's only 150 silver coins, I think you should make it up quickly!
The three of them were speechless for a while, walking quietly on the street, and now Romon and Fafer were a little embarrassed, they were only fifteen or sixteen years old, they were just teenagers, and they couldn't come up with ideas for a while.
In Luo Meng's space, there are some peaches, pears and other fruits of the original world, but these are not sold until the moment of life and death, and the appearance of new quality plants in this world is a big deal in itself
And the planted blue grass, if it is another three and a half months, you can harvest a batch, according to an acre of 300 kilograms of hay, this acre of area, can also produce 300 kilograms, you know, the market price is a kilogram of 1 silver coin!
Even if it's cheaper, you can get enough money, but tomorrow, you have to take Nick home, and although most of the treatment is done by then, some conditions can't be hidden, which is an even worse blow to Nick's family.
"Let's go, let's go to the blacksmith first, get my sword, and let's go to the forest to hunt wild animals, and make money to pay off the debt!" said Romon as he gritted his teeth.
"Romon, you're a druid now, isn't it a bit ...... to specialize in hunting" Fafer also heard some rumors about druids, in general, druids don't hunt animals for profit
"It's not that the druids are completely forbidden to cut down trees and hunt animals, as long as it is necessary for survival, and now I am not required for survival, but Nick is in a similar situation. Romon thought about it and comforted Farfer: "It's okay, let's get all the equipment ready, and after bringing Nick back, we'll go hunting." β
"Well, since you've made up your mind, I don't have anything to say. Fafer nodded heavily: "I have recently re-reviewed some warrior skills with the military camp, and it is really a last resort, even if it is to fight goblins, we will go." β
Goblins are intelligent beings in the end, and bear goblins are natural warriors, and if they are alone, they maybe, if they really want to make money from this, they will fight with their lives.
