Rock Town

Name implies. The reason for this name is that the builders hope that the town will be like a rock and stand like the original in the days to come.

And after the completion of this town, it is indeed like a rock, very solid and solid.

The town was enclosed by a tall wall made of large stones, and then a moat wide enough to hold back the enemy's tracks.

In the town, the well-planned roads form a tight network, especially near the central square, where there are several wide and tidy streets, lined with bustling shops, and people are already showing signs of prosperity.

The Temple of the Goddess of Abundance, covering a vast area, has been built.

The temple of the god of war, which also covers a wide area, has only now been built.

After the range of the shopping street. The shops on both sides of the road gradually dwindled, and began to appear one after another, although not beautifully built, but sturdy wooden brick houses, which were the houses of the townspeople.

It's cold, it's noon, and the smoke is wafting and beautiful patterns are drawn over the town.

At this point, a building is almost finished.

This is a walled building, as well as a warehouse, the outermost façade, and the upper and lower floors are all façades.

"Congratulations, the Kramp Comptoir has been established again. "There were quite a few people coming.

Barnel and his son Fezia welcomed the guests.

In the blink of an eye, it was five years, and although Barnel was in spirit, there was already a hint of old age, and Fezia was also thirty years old, and he began to change from youth to middle age.

"Fezia, how many people haven't come?" After a while, Barn looked at him kindly and called his name.

"None of the knights have come in person, but they have been sent, as have the Interior Officers and Barons!" said Fezia, "but Monsieur Lulun has come, and has been taken to the back." ”

"What about the bell? Why didn't she come?" In fact, the real name of the bell is "Dai Yefu" (the meaning of the bell in this world)

"Father, I hear!" said Fezia, who did not immediately answer, and when she saw that there was no one around, she whispered, "I heard that she is pregnant." So I only sent someone to give some gifts, but I didn't come. ”

"What? when did this happen?" said Barnle, with a look of shock on his face.

Fezia replied in a low voice, "Father, yesterday she went to the temple of the goddess of harvest and asked a priest to feel it, and it is said that she has already felt a small life in her body. ”

In this world, pregnancy or not, the priest knows with a little feeling, and the reason is simple, the breath of life.

"Yes, that's a good thing, that's a good thing!" Barnle was stunned for a moment, this time no longer restraining his smile, which was like a flower.

"Father, but in name?"

"You don't understand, now the city is allowed to marry three wives, and the identity of the bell is much worse, but when you have a child, it's still the first child, it's different. ”

"Although most aristocratic families only pass on titles and territories to their eldest sons, generally speaking, the first generation is an exception. We have to seize the opportunity here!" Barn said solemnly: "Besides, now that Romon is developing so fiercely, you can see that this town is very different, as long as you can get a little, it will be amazing." ”

Fezia nodded, looking outside, indeed, the town was built very successfully.

Naturally, much of this is due to the lord Romong.

Not to mention the city wall, as early as when the town was first built, Luo Meng allocated a large amount of money to build the town's fortifications, after all, now that the demon disaster has not subsided, it is really asking for trouble if the town is not built stronger.

Moreover, in this town, there is a powerful escort team, and these patrolling guards belong to the expanded force, and now there are eight squadrons under Romong.

It is said that in the near future, it will be expanded by two more to the size of 10 squadrons and 2 brigades.

And after careful selection, all of them are physically strong, in addition to practicing martial arts on the training ground every day, they also go out to inspect in batches to improve their actual combat ability.

This kind of awe-inspiring temperament cultivated in battle gives the townspeople a great sense of security.

And when the town was first built, there were thousands of people. Most of them were men, and Lu Lun went to the city to recruit a group of women, and now they all have families, about 400 households.

Later, when the town was built, many people saw that it was strong and magnificent, and they also moved here, and now it has reached 500 households.

It's already a very large town.

Moreover, well-planned, there are wooden houses for civilians, and a set of villas based on two-story small buildings is also being built, which is for knights and other people with status, and even Barnel has also purchased two sets, and he is very impressed by Romon for making money.

Such a prospect had to be envied, and Fezia said: "Father, I understand, when we are done, I will go to visit the bells." ”

"That's good, it's up to you in the future. Barn said meaningfully.

And at this time, a small building in the Lord's villa in the center of the Rock Town Square.

This small building is very elegant, the second floor is a bedroom, a study, and a balcony.

On the ground floor there is a very spacious living room. The living room has a loose sofa and a well-textured carpet, and in front of the sofa is a delicate long table, similar to the coffee table on earth, with good snacks and well-washed fruits.

At this time, the bell was sitting on the sofa, looking at a plate of fruit on the table in a daze.

However, if you look closely, you will see that although the bell's eyes are looking at the fruit, the attention is not focused on it at all.

Bell is only seventeen years old now, and her little face still has a girlish atmosphere. There is a pair of cute little dimples on her cheeks, when she is not smiling, it is not very obvious, and as she unconsciously purses her lips, the pair of small dimples will loom.

At this time, her mood was obviously very complicated.

"Baby, you say...... My lord, he knows, what will happen?" gently stroked his stomach with his hand, and the big eyes of the bell were full of joy and confusion, and this worry was even more than joy.

After all, although there are many illegitimate children, there are also many families who abort their children in order to avoid trouble, although this is opposed by many gods.

"Even if the adults really don't want you, I'...... I still want to give birth to you......" she said, looking away from the fruit, and then, looking out with some concern.

"Come, have some hot soup. The temperature is just right, drink it while it's hot!" a woman came from the kitchen with a tray in her hand and a bowl of fragrant broth on it, which was just a good thing to nourish the body.

The woman was probably not more than forty years old, her body was a little bloated, and her face bore the marks of time, and she looked like she was from a poor background, but at this time she was dressed in decent clothes, and her complexion was very good.

Bell raised his head and smiled a little reluctantly: "Mom, don't bother you, I'll come!"

It turned out that this middle-aged woman. It was Bell's mother, Madame Lange, who, after Bell became a druid, brought in his mother, Madame Lange, and his father, Lange.

A few days ago, the bell was always nauseous and vomiting, and she didn't take it seriously until she was noticed by her mother, and yesterday, she asked a priest to check the situation and determine that this symptom was actually pregnant!

Am I going to be a mother? Bell was very happy when she first heard the news.

However, the joy at the beginning turned into worry after being alone.

The reason is simple, in this hierarchical world, there is an unwritten rule that children born to handmaidens and noble men are not entitled to any aristocratic treatment.

Of course, it is also possible if the aristocratic man himself asks for some treatment for the child.

However, in the first place, the person's legal wife will not agree.

Secondly, even the god of order is legally difficult to give the same treatment.

Although with what she knew about Romon, this young baron should not be difficult for a child, but how can things be absolute? Wan Romon dislikes the child in her womb, so what should she do?

Is it to protect the child, or to obediently knock the child out?

Even though she already knew something about Romone, at such a time, her chaotic thoughts still surrounded her.

"What's the trouble, don't bother, you're also a second-level druid now, you can support yourself, it's a big deal to move out, you're pregnant now, don't think about it!" In this regard, Bell's mother, Madame Lange, was very decisive, which made Bell smile bitterly.

Just then, a bell rang outside, and before Madame Lange could open the door, people came in.

"Oh, Bell, I heard you're pregnant, is it true?" The person who came was Mrs. Clin, the mother of the Home Minister Nick.

"Mrs. Klin!" the bell smiled reluctantly, and was about to rise to greet him.

"Don't, don't, this is a big deal, Romon must be very happy if he knows about it!" Mrs. Kling even looked at the bell's belly with some hot eyes, and couldn't help but sigh: "Seriously, if my family Nick also marries a wife early, I guess I will have a child too, alas." ”

Speaking of this, even the circles under his eyes turned red, and the frightened bell hurriedly comforted him.

Mrs. Kling knew that a pregnant woman could not be stimulated too emotionally, so she quickly put away her sadness and comforted the bell in turn.

And at this moment, on the road leading from the dock to Rock Town, more than a dozen carriages were moving fast or slow.

Dozens of imposing cavalrymen were riding on horses, following on the left and right of the carriage, which was enough to deter the curious eyes of passers-by.

The carriage was loaded with a lot of goods, and from the outermost part of the caravan, it was clearly grain, because this kind of convoy carrying grain was often seen on some roads in recent times, so it did not attract the attention of others.

After all, this is the time of the Demon Plague, and food is relatively scarce, and many nobles choose to purchase to make up for this year's grain failure.

"Nick, rest for a while, you see, it's almost time for lunch, doesn't your brain need to rest?" Romon rode his horse, following the only carriage that was not loaded with goods, and in that carriage sat a teenager who was holding a pen and constantly calculating in a notebook, it was Nick.

"My brain works well, and if you're lazy like someone, you're going to be a fool sooner or later. Nick continued to calculate the data without looking up.

"Ahem, that, I'll treat you to a good meal when I go back today. Romon laughed dryly and said.

He could naturally tell that Nick was saying that he was lazy!

However, for Romon , the experience on the earth is deep-rooted, and he can master major events and strategies as long as he can grasp them, and specific things must naturally be arranged for his subordinates, otherwise why bother his subordinates?

Knowing the division of labor, this is the life of a true aristocracy.

"As you said, then I won't be home at night. Nick said politely.

"Why?" Nick has been a little unusual lately.

"It's not a matter of marriage, Fafer and I have been choking on the family recently, saying that we are both twenty now, why are we not getting married...... By the way, Romon when are you going to get married?"

“...... Hey, hey, let's go back and talk about it!" Romon couldn't help but laugh twice.

The group quickly returned to Rock Town, and as soon as they arrived in the town, they transported the goods to a secret warehouse prepared in advance.

And Romon took Nick back to the Lord's Villa in the center of Rock Town.

As soon as he entered the door, Luo Meng sensed that something was wrong, and saw that the bell was sitting on the sofa with a very complicated expression. And on the side sat Nick's mother, Mrs. Clin, and finally Bell's mother, Mrs. Lange.

"Bell, why do you have such an expression?"

"Mother, why are you here?"

Romon and Nick shouted at the same time, especially Nick, his heart was tight, it would not be enough for Mrs. Clyn to chase after her, she usually knows how to be measured.

"Congratulations, Lord Baron!" said Nick's mother, Mrs. Clin, very formally.

"Mrs. Klin?" Romon was a little blindsided, usually, not like this: "What congratulations?"

The bell stood up at this time, bowed his head, and whispered, "My lord, I ...... I'm pregnant!"

"Ahh

After a moment's pause, Madame Lange said, "What, you're not happy?"

She watched Romon grow up since she was a child, and she usually gave some food, which made this friendship heavy, so when it was critical, she stood up and said it directly.

"No, no, I just can't think of it, I can't think of it. Luo Meng laughed all of a sudden, and hurriedly stepped forward: "When did it happen? Why didn't you tell me?" ”

This attitude suddenly made the bell let go of her heart, and she whispered, "It was only confirmed yesterday!"

"Okay, that's a good thing, have you invited a priest to come?"

"Please, said the pastor, every few days lately. ”

"Well, that's as it should be!" Romon nodded repeatedly.

At this time, Nick was thoughtful, but let his mother, Madame Lange, pull a little: "What, your expression?"

"Bell, being Romon's wife, doesn't seem to be qualified!" Nick replied in a low voice, but very quickly, with a look of distress.

"Hmph, this fellow, after reading the Code for a few years, looks like this!" said Madame Lange, but was very dissatisfied.
