Chapter 39: The Freemen I
The day after returning to town, snow fell again over the town of Rika. Romon stood in front of the window of the room on the second floor, admiring the snow scene with great interest for a while.
Although this is the fifth snow of the year for Rika Town, and it may be the last snow of spring, Romon is still in high spirits today. took out a roast duck and a bottle of Moutai from the space, it was this snow scene, and Luo Meng ate and drank.
Being able to officially become a second-level druid can be said to be a big change in his life. The gap between Level 1 and Level 2 may seem like a distance of one and two, but in reality, it is very difficult to get through.
Not only druids, but even other professions, the same is true, every level of improvement is not easy (except for the warrior is slightly inferior), and each promotion also represents an improvement in status.
In fact, when Romon reaches the first level of druid, he should be considered a professional, after all, he has already registered with the adventurer's guild, and his identity has been confirmed.
However, because of his debts, he is not a free man so far, and it is impossible for a non-free person to become a professional, which is also one thing that has always bothered him.
Now, his debts have been paid off, and as soon as he obtains the status of a freeman, his status as a professional will be recognized in advance by the lord.
With this identity, even if the tax officer Bakar and others want to make things difficult for him, it will no longer be easy.
Recalling the surprised and incredulous expressions on the faces of the tax collector Bakar and the priest when they saw his secondary mark, the corners of his mouth tugged upward.
Yes, who would have thought that a kid who was abandoned by the teacher and didn't have any background could improve his strength so quickly by himself?
After taking a hard bite of the roast duck, Romon began to ponder whether his status as a free man could be successfully passed.
At the same time, in the Baron's Castle, not far from the town of Rika, a middle-aged man with a somewhat bloated body was sitting in a warm room, flipping through the account books.
"Guess who I am?" a pair of warm little hands suddenly hit his eyes.
The middle-aged man said dotingly, "Let me guess...... Well, it's my little girl, isn't it?"
"Father, you've guessed it again!" the girl with an angelic appearance pouted, withdrew her hand coquettishly, and walked out from behind.
"Elenie, shouldn't you be reading at this time, why did you come to your father?" asked the middle-aged man, the lord of the land of Rika, Lord Baron, curiously.
Elenie smiled and handed her father a roll of vellum paper. The Baron opened it curiously, and after taking a closer look, he realized that this was some of Romon's personal information.
"Romon, he's already a second-level druid?" the Baron looked at him, surprised at his talent.
"Yes, father, and since his debts have been paid, I suppose we ought to give him the status of a freeman?" suggested Eleni.
"Really? "The Baron has always been very fond of his little daughter, and it could not be more simple and reasonable to bestow the status of a freeman on a man who has been recognized by his profession.
"Thank you, father. Eleni smiled and put her arms around her father and kissed her loving face.
"It's the third day, and I don't know if Miss Elenie has told the Baron about my situation, I don't know how it is......" In a room on the second floor of the Mott Inn, Romon was waiting anxiously at this time.
The initial excitement has almost disappeared with the passage of time, and has been replaced by a tormented wait.
Romon was well aware of how important the status of a freeman was to him. Different from the geographical boundaries on the earth, in this world, as long as you have obtained the status of a free person, as long as you do not leave the country, you can live freely in any part of the country. All you need to do is show your certificate as a freeman and go to the place where you are registered.
If he wants to live a better life, he must work hard to make himself stronger and work hard to improve his status. And a person who does not even have the status of a free man is not entitled to and cannot obtain the above.
He has to be strong, and this free identity is the first step for him to become strong.
Freely. This is something that he almost didn't have to think about in his previous life, but in this world, he is always threatened, without the status of a free man, even if he gets the certificate of a second-level druid, he will encounter a lot of trouble, unless he becomes a fifth-level druid, and automatically obtains the rights of a free citizen that can be used throughout the continent.
But now, without the status of a free man, and without sufficient strength, the road in the coming years will be filled with countless troubles out of thin air. The biggest trouble is that he is not free to go where he wants. For a druid who needs to grow his strength by constantly finding new species of plants, the impact on future promotions is almost fatal.
Thinking of the hostility of the priests and tax collectors towards him, Romon's sense of crisis was unprecedentedly strong.
"Romon!" was thinking wildly when someone downstairs suddenly called his name.
"It's coming. Luo Meng shook up, quickly tidied up his messy clothes, and came out of the room.
"Romon, just now the temple trustee came and said to let you come over. "Knowing that Romon has become a second-level druid, although Murt's name for him has not changed because of Romon's insistence, his attitude has become more enthusiastic than before. Seeing him coming down the stairs, he hurriedly relayed the other party's words.
"Did you say who was looking for me?" asked Romon as he stepped down.
"It's Miss Elenie!" said Merte, rubbing his hands.
Romon immediately understood that it must be for the sake of his status as a freeman, and reluctantly waited for Murt to finish, then thanked him and ran out.
He walked almost briskly outside the temple, but when he was about to enter, Romon stopped again.
"Can't let people find fault with it...... "Romon knew that the more he was at this moment, the more calm he had to be, he relieved his nervousness, and then checked again whether his clothes were neat and unclean, and after everything was in order, he walked in slowly.
"Romon you're here, Romon. "Dressed in a priest's robe, Elini seems to be thinly dressed because of the priest's spells, but she is not afraid of the cold. At this time, she was standing in front of the garden of the temple, admiring the flowers that were still blooming brilliantly because they were surrounded by divine magic, and when she saw Romon enter, she immediately turned around with a smile.
"Miss Elenie, I've kept you waiting. Romon immediately gave the other party a bright smile back.
Infected by Lomon's smile for a moment, Elini's smile became more and more happy.
"Do you know why I called you?" said Eleni, smiling.
Maybe even she didn't realize it at this time, but she made an exception to show her lively and naughty side in front of outsiders.
"This ......" Romon was shocked by the cute smile that suddenly bloomed from the other party, and he was a little speechless for a while.
It was only at this time that Miss Eleni noticed her gaffe, she felt a little annoyed in her heart, and at the same time took out a document from her bosom and handed it directly to Romone: "Here you are, from now on, you are a free citizen, unhindered, traveling throughout the country, doing business and traveling, and enjoying all legal rights!"
The document was parchment, bearing his name, surname, and occupation, as well as the lord's signature.
"With this document in hand, you can archive it in the Adventure Guild and inject new information into the Adventure Guild sign, so you don't have to take out the originals again and again. Miss Elenie was more familiar than he was, she said.
Romon nodded, took out the adventure card, and if you looked closely, you could see that the adventure card was really similar to the previous ID card.
However, Luo Meng knows very well that this kind of adventure card has energy settings, and most of the identity documents in this world have special magic instruments. In comparison, it was even more difficult to forge than those documents on Earth, at least until level five, which was why he had to get the status of a free man.
"Thank you, Miss Elenie, this time thanks to you. Romon glanced at it, put away the papers and the signs, and thanked Miss Elenie.
"No thanks. Miss Elenie smiled. "Oh, yes, I almost forgot about that. As if thinking of something, Miss Eleni suddenly took out another roll of brown paper, and without looking at it, handed it to Romon directly. "See what this is?"
Romon took the roll of brown paper, opened it, and only looked at it a few times, and then there was a look of surprise on his face. "It's ......"
"This is a license to open a store in Rika Town, knowing that you want to open a store, I asked for the surname Suo together, hoping to help you. Miss Elenie smiled again.
Hah, that's just what you want. Luo Meng really wanted to hug each other and kiss each other at this time. However, he still held back, but his tone became more cheerful: "Thank you so much, Miss Elenie, you are such an angel!"
"Actually, you don't have to thank me too much, I'm just doing it, what's more, the conflict between you and him is also because of me, so ...... You don't have to thank me so much. Miss Eleni blushed and said suddenly, and then smiled mischievously. "In short, you have to run the store well, and don't back down because of a little setback. ”
Luo Meng nodded hurriedly, and when he saw the other party turn to leave, he was still standing in place, and he didn't wake up for a while. Miss Elenie knows everything? She knows?
Also, how could such a wise person, after perceiving the pastor's hostility towards him, not be able to guess the reason!
It's just that this angelic girl, under her quiet and delicate appearance, is afraid that she still has a wise and strong heart, right?
Romon thought secretly.
"By the way, there's a little party at the temple tomorrow at noon to celebrate your freeman status and a second-class druid, so don't be late. ”
The crisp sound was brought by the wind, and when Romon looked up, he saw Eleni smiling in the midst of the flowers, waved at him, and then left with a smile. He looked at it in a daze, and it took a while to come back to his senses, and then, with two proofs in his hand, he left the temple excitedly.
And at the same time, in a corner that Romon couldn't see, a young priest poked his nails into the flesh.
"Romon ......," he whispered the name.
