Chapter 127: The Capture (I)
This was the second time I came to Baron Galle's study.
Last time it was the night after the ball, and although the candles were lit, now the sunset was still there, but I could see it clearly.
This study room used for office is very spacious, and the books on the shelves are estimated to be 10,000 this time, which is a very staggering number.
It's not uncommon for the windows to be filled with glass.
"Your Excellency, Baron. Romon said with a bow.
"Oh, dear Romón, welcome to you, presumably this time, with good news?" said Baron Galle warmly.
On closer inspection, the baron was actually a young man of about twenty-five years of age, probably for the sake of majesty, and deliberately wore some beard and a shirt made of silk, which was a luxury for summer.
"Oh, yes, I brought the reason and the evidence for the incident, but it may not be all good news!" said Romon respectfully, taking the two pieces of evidence.
"Oh, whether it's good or bad, it's good to be able to find out why. Baron Galle stood up, took the two pieces of evidence, and said with a smile: "Monsieur Romont, you can go to the room and read my books, oh, I think this will pass the time!"
Romon bowed, and then followed the baron's words, and went to the bookshelf to take a look, the study is very large, in fact, it is divided into two rooms, especially the inner room, there are many bookshelves, and naturally the baron's desk cannot be seen.
Moreover, there was a window in the room, where the sunset sun shone on the ground, and there was a chair there, and there was a coffee table next to the chair, and a small candlestick on top of the coffee table, and Romon did not care, so he sat down there, took a book in his hand, and began to read.
Outside, Baron Galle flipped through the two documents, and gradually, his face became more and more pale.
For Romon, these two documents were not enough to fully outline the situation, but for the baron, who was already the lord of the place, he immediately sketched out the whole process.
"Vidott, no wonder you have so much money!hehe, Secret Silver Mine, why didn't I think of it?" Baron Galle said with a low sneer, "I also sent my daughter here, I want to get a knight's status!"
Baron Galle thought for a moment, pulled the bell, and in a moment the butler came up.
"Go, bring up Vidott and Sobré. ”
"Yes, sir!" said the butler, and after a moment, he pulled out a stack of materials from the nearby documents and handed them to the baron, who did not let him retreat, flipped through them, and groaned, and after a moment, he gave the butler the two documents that Romon had just made and said, "Look at it!"
The butler bowed, took it and read it, his face changed slightly, and then put it down.
"Hubit, you say, how many years have they been digging?"
"Sir, it's estimated that it will take seven years. The butler thought for a moment and said assertently.
"For seven years, Mi Yin always accompanied the production of silver mines...... Soblay's nephew seems to be Master Vonsenbee!" the baron asked, standing up.
"Yes, that's right, Feng Senbi was only a third-level mage ten years ago, but after ten years, it seems that he has obtained a lot of funds, and he also worships Master Kaigaku as a disciple, and he has made rapid progress since then, and now he is a fifth-level mage. ”
"Bastard!" Hearing this, the baron finally gave up his demeanor and slammed a coffee cup on the ground, his handsome face was full of murderous aura, and his eyes were about to burst into flames: "Sobold dares to rebel!"
This world is very strange, for nobles with titles, even if there is a relationship between superiors and subordinates, it is difficult to get involved in this aspect, but for those appointed officials, such as village chiefs and town heads, they are used as servants.
"Hubit, your family has been in my house for generations, and you have watched me grow up, tell me, what should I do?" said the baron, who had calmed his anger after a moment.
Of course, the steward knew very well what these hereditary nobles were to do with the rebellious slaves.
He thought for a moment and whispered: "Sir, this matter still lies in the mining area, as I said just now, we must first solve the problem of field survival, and now solve it, the planting of winter wheat and so on will not be affected - as long as it is not affected next year, this year's reduction in production is nothing." ”
Baron Galle nodded, let out a long breath, and smiled: "Indeed, this is the first big thing!"
The baron is a son-in-law, but his father died since he was a child, and he was not liked by the old baron since he was a child, so he finally relied on his uncle's strength to get the position of baron this year and became the owner of this territory, but because of a plant disaster, he was given a blow to the head.
This is a secret silver mine, even if the scale is not large, but it is a rare material, which can be related to the mage guild, if this income is obtained by the baron, it can be guaranteed that the baron's family will get two to three mage places...... As long as there is a mage quality among the disciples, they can be used, even if it is a hundred years or two hundred years.
The promise of the Mage Guild is notoriously iron, and now it is actually divided among people in private, but it has benefited outsiders and become the climate, which is difficult for him to bear.
However, the steward is right, first of all, the problem of farmland must be solved, so that the situation will not deteriorate further! No matter who takes office, if he lets his territory have a food shortage at the beginning of his tenure, it will definitely not be a glorious thing, and it may even affect his reputation and status.
However, to deal with such a matter, it is necessary to consult an expert, and the baron frowned, and shouted in a slightly raised voice: "Monsieur Romont, can you come for a moment?"
When Romon heard this, he put down his book, came, bowed, and asked, "Baron, what do you command?"
"I already know this, and you say, what is the best way to solve the problem of the farmland?" asked the baron, in a very kind tone.
"Lord Baron, the problem of plant decay in the territory is caused by the influence of a breath of death, and the source of these breaths of death is the more than a hundred people who died in the mining accident, they are revenge, so to solve this matter, it is actually very simple, just tie up the people who opened the mine back then, and let these ghosts take revenge, then it's okay. Romon said flatly.
Both the baron and the butler were shocked.
Although the druids are good and evil, they are actually neutral in nature, and once they lose this neutrality, the druids cannot be promoted to the ranks, and now, this bland tone of Romon is undoubtedly the characteristic of the druids.
"Can't it be purified by a priest?" asked the butler, and the baron listened and looked at the butler approvingly.
"Of course you can, it's just that the breath of death is brought by the ghost, and if it is forcibly purified, the breath of death will be preserved for a while. Romon was trying to find a reason, but at this point, he found that it was.
"Oh, how much longer?" said the baron, uncontrollably.
"The specifics are not clear, and I think it will take a year or two for it to completely subside. Romon thought about it, and according to the records in the information, he estimated cautiously.
"One or two years!" the baron's face was gloomy, and a year or two was equivalent to a similar reduction in production in two years, which caused a great loss to the territory.
"Lord Baron, you can combine the two, and the main solution is to let the ghost complete the revenge, and when the revenge is completed, you can ask the priest to guide you further, I think Miss Eleni is very good. Romon said.
Of course, there are priests in the barony's domain, but no one can be practical, the baron nodded and said: "Mr. Romont, you have worked hard, I will not forget your merits, you can step back now, please go and rest!"
"Yes, as you wish!" Romon said, bowing, taking a step back.
Thinking of the attack on the road, Romon felt the need to remind: "Lord Baron, the mayor of Jumu Town, it seems that there is a private army, we have encountered an attack when we got the evidence and rushed back, if the Baron sends someone to arrest him, please send more people, so as not to cause casualties." ”
"Oh, how can there be such a thing?" Glancing at Romon in surprise, the baron nodded gloomily again, and said, "Thank you for your information!"
Nothing more, and Romon withdrew.
By this time, it was getting late, and the butler had lit the candles, and the light of the jumping candles was cloudy in the room, and only the baron walked in the room, walking back and forth.
"Sir?" After waiting for a moment, the butler spoke.
The baron stopped and sneered: "Hubit, you went into the city overnight and handed over these two pieces of evidence to the church of the God of Law and Order, and the church will not tolerate anything that challenges the order." ”
"Secondly, copy the evidence and hand it over to the Mage Guild, these things must be done overnight, don't miss it. ”
"As for me, immediately lead the troops to Jumu Town, if my expectations are not bad, go overnight, they have not had time to transfer, they can obtain a lot of evidence and wealth, I think that Feng Senbi mage, there is no way to think of me as a troublemaker!"
Soblay's nephew, Master Feng Semby, although he is level five, but in this matter, he also has a way to make trouble, of course, the reverse is also true, although the baron knows that Master Feng Semby actually took the lion's share, but he can't really pursue it.
However, for Soblay himself and his family, the disposition is different.
"Yes, Lord Baron, in half an hour everything will be ready, please wait!" replied the butler.
At this moment, Romon and Avisy were having dinner in the small living room.
The cook brought cheese, pies, bread, and roast meat, and Romon was enjoying it to his heart's content, while Avisy drank the soup and slipped the bread.
After a busy day, both of them were a little tired.
I didn't want to, but I used most of it, and in the small living room, the door opened, and the baron walked in.
Seeing Avisi's beautiful face, the baron was a little surprised, but he immediately retracted his senses, and he smiled: "Monsieur Romont, have you run out?"
"Oh, it's run out, what's the matter with you?" asked Romon as he picked up the napkin, wiped his mouth, and asked.
"I've decided to go to Giant Wood overnight, can I ask you to come with me?" asked the baron very politely, although polite, it was also equivalent to an order.
Romon had no choice but to say, "This is my honor, my lord!"
Avicy wiped her mouth and lowered her cloak.
Sure enough, when the two went out, they heard the sound of armor in the corridor, and a cavalry of twenty men, led by a knight, was waiting in the courtyard.
At the sound of the order, the baron himself led the team, Romon and the knights followed, and the cavalry again came out of the mansion and galloped away for the night.
