Chapter 155: Enrichment (I)
After being busy for most of the day, Romon finally found eight hundred trees of two kinds on the hills, of course, different sizes, most of them were small trees, but this was enough.
Romon returned to the Forest House satisfied, and by this time, it was already dusk.
The inn at Forest House is doing a brisk business.
The edge forest is a must-visit place for adventurers on a mission, and Romong's territory has become a rare place for these people to rest.
With thick brick walls, arrow towers, and an expansion to a fifteen-man escort team (and fifteen in a small mining village), Romon's territory brings these adventurers a rare small world where they can rest without worrying about being raided by demonic beasts or infighting.
They can find a brief moment of tranquility here after they are physically and mentally tired, warm beds, sweet meatloaf, and throat-moistening fruit wine, which may not be ordinary things, but here, in this marginal forest where there is only one territory of RomΓ³n, it seems so precious.
Moreover, all those who have been here will be surprised to find that in this seemingly unremarkable inn, there is such a delicious barbecue, such a hot wine, and such a warm atmosphere.
"This wine is really strong!" An adventurer who drank this wine for the first time poured it down his throat and couldn't help but squirt it out, and at the same time, his face appeared red after being choked.
"Haha! Look at you bear-like! This wine is for real men, you little body, you want to drink this kind of wine too?
"Yes, don't drink strong liquor if you can't drink it! Isn't there a sweet fruit wine over there? If you drink it, we won't laugh at you!"
"It's a shame that you should have stopped drinking it!"
At his table, several adventurers who were traveling with him burst into laughter.
The adventurer, who spewed out the drink, soon blushed again, but not choked on the wine, but with a face that could not be hung up.
Then, without saying anything, he stuffed his head and poured himself another glass of spirits, and this time he was mentally prepared, and when he drank it again, he drank it very heavily.
And his approach immediately won the applause of his teammates.
"That's right!"
"yes! That's our teammate!"
So, what should be eaten and what should be drunk was drunk, and everything was calm again.
I don't know when it became a matter for adventurers to play tricks on each other in their leisure time.
Perhaps, in any world, in any time and space, a man's love for spirits can achieve a unified similarity.
A man who can drink strong wine without changing his face may not be recognized and respected by everyone, but a man who hesitates or shouts fiercely after drinking will definitely be despised by these adventurers.
And there is another reason for the popularity of this wine, that is, it is said that the secret recipe of this wine was created by the owner here, Lord Romone.
"It was a really hard task, but luckily we did it. At this moment, another group of adventurers walked in from outside, led by the middle-aged man, who was very burly and had a smile on his face, but when he said this, there was a trace of tiredness on his face.
"Yes, Captain, fortunately we were lucky this time, otherwise, we probably wouldn't have been able to come back, this adventurer's life is really living on the tip of the knife every day. β
The others looked tired, even though they looked like they were having a good harvest.
As soon as he came in, he beckoned: "Boss, serve the wine!"
"It's coming!" Favel's brother, Wadden, straightened up from under the counter and smiled as he laid the wine on the table.
This group of adventurers chose a place by the window, because when they came, there were some overmeals, and there were not many people, so they could chat very quietly.
"Captain, I heard that there is a very special wine here, and it has a strong taste, would you like to try it?" asked a small man who looked shrewd.
The burly middle-aged man nodded: "Then come and go." β
Before the man could speak, the short man who asked first immediately raised his voice, "Boss, two more bottles of spirits!"
"Wait a minute!" Wadden was a little too busy to do so, when a woman came out of it with something in hand, and when she saw that there were many guests, she brought wine herself.
"Hey, is it Mr. Havawi, are you back?" the woman was Favel's mother, who had seen Havawi's group here, and knew that they had a better relationship with Romon than the average adventurer, so she smiled and said, "This mission is well accomplished, isn't it?"
Haivawi's group also recognized her, and they all shook their heads with a smile and a wry smile.
Seeing this, Fafer's mother knew what they might have been through, so she didn't ask any more questions, put her food together, and left.
And the people of Haivawi and the group, after tasting the spirits here, are all bright-eyed.
"Captain, this wine tastes very good!" The liquor, made from wet fruit and lightly distilled, has a strong and memorable fragrance.
Seeing his knowledge, Haivawi immediately tasted the wine with a high concentration and asked, "What is this wine made of?"
The teammates with him had just drunk this kind of wine, so they didn't know anything.
At this time, one of the people at the next table replied, "This is a wine made from wet fruits." β
"Wet fruit brewing?" people who knew this truth for the first time were surprised, most of the fruit wines had been tasted before, but they did not have such a concentration and fragrance.
But remembering that Romon is a druid, maybe there is another way!
The adventurers of the Havawi team have not been to the Forest House for a long time in recent months to complete their mission.
When I came in just now, I was very surprised.
The large neat olive trees, the patches of farmland, and the newly built grape trellises all show the tranquility and wealth of this place, and the people who moved here last time felt that there had changed a lot when they met again, and everyone's faces were a little better, and there were more smiles on their faces, and to be honest, even they were envious when they saw them.
And this mission to hunt down the demon bear injured a few more people and almost damaged the team members, but for the sake of their families and their dreams, they are still persevering.
Of course, there are still many adventurers who can't hold on and want to find a place to live quietly. Among them, there are many friends they have known before or partners who have fought side by side with them.
Seeing that Romong's territory was so rich, they were really a little tempted.
At this time, he happened to listen to the person next to him talking about something, and because of the words "Lord Romong", "small mining village", "lack of manpower" and so on, Haivawi suddenly pricked up his ears.
After hearing it, I learned that Luo Meng had obtained a new territory, and had done a good job of planning and construction, but because there were only more than 30 original villagers, and that village could accommodate hundreds of families, the news from Luo Meng's mansion was that Luo Meng intended to move a group of people from other places.
"Captain, listen to this, can we move here?" a member of the same team looked at him with a smile on his face, "I heard that Captain, you have a good relationship with Lord Lord!"
Haivawi was silent for a moment, thinking in his heart, if he wanted to say that the people of their team, because of their superb martial arts skills and some youth to squander, there was nothing to worry about.
However, too many of the older adventurers who have been physically injured or who are not skilled in martial arts are unable to live in the city because they are unable to continue their missions in old age.
And he still knows a lot of this type of person.
What's more, he still knew Romon as a person, and the place was not bad, and he had long wanted to settle his family here, provided that he remained a freeman, of course.
And the team members who have the same thoughts as him should also account for the majority, of course, those who are old, declining, and crippled will have a hard time obtaining the status of free people.
Thinking of this, Haivawi said, "In this case, let's go back and count how many people want to come here, and then I will go to Lord Romone." β
"Okay, Captain, hurry up on this!" the team members immediately rejoiced.
So, when Romon returned to the Lord's mansion, the bell came in from outside and told him that someone was looking for him.
Hearing that the man who was looking for him was Captain Haivawi, Romon didn't bother to eat dinner, so he invited him in, and summoned him in the dining room without seeing him.
Havawi came in, bowed to Romon and said, "I'm sorry, my lord, I didn't know you were having dinner. β
Romon instructed the bell to prepare another dinner, and then asked Havawi to sit down opposite.
"Captain Haivawi, you are too polite, you used to call me by my name, and you will call me by my name in the future, we are people who have experienced the battle of life and death, we are friends, not just the relationship between commoners and nobles. Romon said.
Although he thought that Luo Meng might remember his previous feelings, seeing and hearing it with his own eyes still made Haivawi's heart very warm, but of course he would not be presumptuous because of this, nodded and said: "Thank you, my lord, I am looking for you today because I want to ask you for something." β
By this time, the bell had already placed the portion of dinner that belonged to Haivawi.
Havawi hurriedly thanked her, and at the same time, looked at RomΓ³n.
Romon smiled and said, "What's the matter?" β
"My lord, I heard that the small mining village in your territory needs manpower and needs to relocate a large number of people, I know that you are a good lord, and there will be no shortage of manpower in the future, but I still hope that you can give priority to the addition of adventurers. I know quite a few middle-aged adventurers who are good at martial arts, but because they are getting older and want to live a more stable life...... Also, my team members and I also have some relatives who want to make their homes here, I don't know, can we?"
"Captain Havawi, if you and your core team are willing to relocate, I grant you freeman status. After hearing this, Luo Meng said with a smile: "As for the others, they can only retain the status of the leader, and as for the number of people, it is not a problem to increase the number of households by a hundred!"
"Thank you, my lord, for your appreciation!" Haivawi nodded with joy in his heart.
"As for you, if you are willing to come, the captain of the guard of the small mining village can also ask you to be the captain. Romon said again.
With Fafer's promotion to knighthood and Sukar serving as the captain of the guard at the Forest House, the small mining village was in need of a qualified captain.
Haivawi was startled, his heart was happy, and knowing that his heart was moved, he said very happily: "Okay, my lord, I will go back to mobilize, if nothing else, within a week, this matter will be done for the adults." β
