Chapter 84: Refusal (II)
Half a day later, the Baron's Castle, gardens.
A large comfortable chair was lifted into the open space of the garden.
The sun was shining, surrounded by flowers, and the environment could be said to be very comfortable, but the baron was lying on the chair at this time, but his face was gloomy.
It seems that there is some dead knot in his heart that cannot be untied, which makes it difficult for him to feel comfortable.
And in fact, he was really thinking about one thing now, one thing that made him very depressed.
At this time, the sky was already clear, because there had just been a light rain, and the large green plants were covered with a layer of tender feeling.
The flowers dotted on the grass also have crystal dew drops hanging on their petals, which looks extremely beautiful. The sky was washed blue by the rain, and a rainbow hung shallowly on the edge of the sky, looking extremely beautiful.
There was a sound of footsteps coming from outside the small corner door of the garden, and then a beautiful maiden walked in from outside. She was wearing a very clean white priest's robe, and although her facial features were not extremely beautiful, they gave people a very comfortable and holy feeling.
When the baron saw the girl, he immediately put away his gloomy expression and showed a smile on his face: "Daughter, how does it feel to be a priest?"
It turned out that the person who came was none other than the baron's second daughter, Miss Elini.
Since receiving the divine grace unexpectedly during the Divine Judgment Ceremony, and the fact that the Priest of the Temple of Rika Town has been hanged, the Temple cannot always be left without the overall situation, so Miss Alini has been promoted to become the acting presiding priest of the Temple. Since becoming Acting Presiding Prescetr, Miss Eleni has been busy getting acquainted with the various workflows and spending less time at home than before.
"Father, after becoming the acting presiding pastor, everything is fine, but I feel that I have less time with you. Knowing that she was rarely at home during this time, and had not spent much time with her father, Miss Elenie looked at her father apologetically, walked over, and stood opposite him.
"Come, daughter, sit down too, let's talk with father and daughter, okay?" said the baron, smiling, and then, ordering his subordinates to bring another chair and place it next to the baron, Miss Aliene sat down as she said.
"Daughter, although the work of the temple is important, you don't have to work yourself too hard, you see, you have lost a lot of weight in the past few days, and when you are busy with this period, just relax and rest well, after all, daughter, you can become the acting priest of a temple at such a young age, which has made my father proud of you, and my father believes that as long as my daughter can continue to persevere like this, it won't be long before you will become an official chief priest, by that time, haha!" The baron didn't say the latter words, but he was already too proud in his heart to do so.
After chatting with Eleni for a while, a man from the temple came to Eleni and asked her to deal with something, and the baron watched his daughter leave, and the gloomy look on his face reappeared.
The baron couldn't help but laugh out loud when he thought about his daughter, Elenie, a second-class priestess in her teens, who was able to receive divine grace in front of the priests and church messengers at the Divine Judgment Ceremony.
Originally, Alini's cultivation progress was not slow, and she had a good reputation among the people, which had already made the baron very proud, and now, the future of the second daughter Alini was even brighter, presumably it would not be long before she would become a third-level priest and an official chief priest, so that his baron's family could finally raise their eyebrows in the aristocratic circle.
Therefore, the more he looks at his second daughter Alini now, the more he feels that she is really the future glory of the family. However, the lord was very worried about her and Romon's affairs, and he carefully thought about the events before and after, and found that the deaths of the tax collector and the priest were all related to Romon, but he couldn't catch Romon's handle, and this scheming person had to be cautious for the sake of himself and his daughter.
"Romon Romon Romon, I didn't expect that this thorny forest couldn't kill you, and besides, it has grown to a second-level druid, which is too fast......" The baron sighed in a low voice, as if it was a great pity, he didn't know that Romon had become a third-level druid today, but soon, a new thought came to his heart: "Maybe, he can ......"
An hour later
"Master Jerfa, please come here. As soon as the castle gates opened, the castle guard greeted a guest with a respectful expression.
This is a middle-aged man who is not dressed so gorgeously, but with an indifferent temperament, he is wearing a simple color but a very good texture robe, when walking, he will avoid the occasional grass on the road, along the way, the flowers and plants around him also seem to be attracted by him, swaying towards him constantly.
Seeing that the guard politely showed him the way, the middle-aged man nodded lightly, and then, following the guard, walked forward while enjoying the scenery on the side of the road.
The guards who led him the way didn't dare to talk much, and the two basically didn't say anything along the way.
"Master Joffa, this is the garden, and Lord Baron is waiting for you inside. After turning a corner, a garden appeared in front of them.
The middle-aged man nodded again to the guard, and then, following the stone path, walked into the garden. The garden is not large, but it is very exquisite, and unlike the glittering gold of the Baron's Hall, there is a natural atmosphere here.
All kinds of flowers and plants are planted at random, and the trees are mostly some varieties that are not precious, but the branches and leaves are very green, and the layout of the whole garden is more like the hand of a young girl.
And in fact, it is. This garden in the Baron's Castle was originally designed and built by Miss Elenie, so it has a bit of elegance and natural atmosphere.
The middle-aged man looked at the lively garden and nodded, very appreciative. This person is none other than a fifth-level druid, and this time he came to the castle at the invitation of the baron.
"Master Jerfa is here? The baron was reclining in his chair thinking about his thoughts, and when he looked up and saw that his guest had arrived, he smiled and asked Joffa to sit down on the chair next to him.
The Druidjefa saluted the baron, and then, as he said, sat down.
"Lord Lord is looking for me, I don't know what it's for?" asked Druidjefa without beating around the bush and getting straight to the point.
"This ......" the baron laughed, as if he didn't expect Jerfa to ask so directly, thought for a while, and then said, "That's the case, I heard that Romon used to be your student before?"
"Romon?" Druid Jefa frowned slightly, and said, "This Romon, I did teach him for a while before, but then they separated because of disagreements. β
"I see, it seems that the rumors I have heard are indeed true...... If this is the case, then presumably, Master Jerfa does not approve of some of Romon's methods?" the baron asked tentatively.
Druidjefa didn't quite understand what the baron meant, but he nodded and said, "Yes, it is precisely because I don't agree with his approach that I disagree on some things that I will finally break with him." β
"It's good to break up, it's good to break up......," the baron secretly rejoiced, but with a smile on his face, he continued to ask, "Then, Master Jerfa, since you and Romon do not agree on ideas, why do you still want to watch him continue to develop like this?
"My lord, what do you mean by that?" At this time, even Jerfa, who rarely interacted with people, sensed that the baron had something to say. He adjusted his posture slightly, staring into the baron's eyes, and there was a slight wariness on his indifferent face.
The baron laughed, since the words were all said and done, the surname Suo made his words clear.
"That's the case, Master Jefa, since it's all about this, I won't hide it from you, for that Romon, in fact, I'm also very unaccustomed to it, the last time Bakar's matter, I don't think it's so simple, although I and Bakar are only of the same race, but, I still have some understanding of Bakar's personality, although Bakar usually has some small problems, but this kind of thing will not be done to kill people, since the matter is not out of Bakar's body, then, it is Romon who is lying, but he also found my daughter as a witness, you think about it, even my daughter was deceived by him, how scheming is Romon's young manγ A little boy, with such a deep scheming, is really a scourge to keep...... So, I want you to help me, and help yourself, how about the two of us working together to get rid of this scourge, or at least get Romon out......"
As he spoke, the baron looked at Druid Jefa, frowned slightly when he saw him finish listening to his words, and hurriedly added: "Of course, in return, I will give Master Jerfa a generous thank you gift, as long as the master can find out Rommon's handle and come forward to get rid of him, I will not only give you a new piece of land, but also give you a large sum of money, by the way, Romon's apothecary, I will also take it back, and then, give it to you, how about it, Master Jerfa? These conditions are enough to show my sincerity, right?"
"It turns out that the lord came to me for this matter, I'm sorry, I can't promise you about this matter. Druidjefa shook his head, stood up, and was about to leave.
The Baron was stunned for a moment, and in an instant, he thought he understood the reason, and he was ruthless, and said, "Okay, if you can promise me to come forward and get rid of Romone, I can fully sponsor your medicine field, and I will give you as much space as you want, so it's done, right?"
Seeing that Jefa was still not moved, the Baron made many more conditions, and Jefa stood and heard the end out of politeness, and when he saw that the Baron had finished speaking, he paused and said: "Lord Baron, I am a druid, not an assassin! Moreover, although I have some opinions about Romon, I am still very happy that he has grown up because of the same druid!"
Then, with a slight bow, he left categorically.
