Chapter 196: Gluttony (Part II)
2000113913 Chapter 196 Gluttony
Eyes, at the end of January, the castle of Roccas's territory
The castle was built on a hillside not far from the town of Rika, with thick walls, made of hard granite, surrounded by a moat.
"Is the news accurate?" Baron Roccas, who was opening the account book of the near Ming Dynasty, raised his head. Staring at the person in front of him, he asked again.
"Yes, Lord Baron, Lord Tatshawe, has earned the title of a fifth-rank druid. A man in front of him said as he bent down and bowed.
"A fifth-level druid!" the baron narrowed.
After 6,000 years of feudal society, in addition to the feudal system, there are also a group of privileged people.
Strictly speaking, the original lord was originally a reward for new people who owned a certain amount of real estate. Or in the midst of the war, those who have received great meritorious service, as well as those who have exceeded the fifth level of professionalism.
Existing, both stunned fifth-level druid and lordship, Rommon's status and potential are completely different.
Baron Rocas put down the book in his hand, closed it, and leaned back in his chair. After a long time, he asked, "So, how is the situation with Tatsha?"
"Lord Baron, we went to check the situation of the Tatshaw Territory, and found that the layout of the Forest House and the small mining village is very rigorous, the outer wall was built early, higher and stronger than the general knight's wall in the surrounding area, the guards in the territory basically have second-level strength, and the equipment is also very sophisticated, the patrol team will not even rest at night, one shift after another, it is said that last year's harvest was very good, and a lot of grain was stored. Another batch of grain was bought"
These messages. Baron Rocas's eyes narrowed: "He's really fast" Then have you inquired. Is there anything unusual in his territory?"
That's what he wants to know most.
"Lord Baron, except for the black girl monster, I haven't found any other anomalies. The man thought for a moment and said, "However, I heard that in that part of the mining area, there were once personnel from the Church of the Lord of Radiance patrolling the entrances and exits. β
"What's the news from the other territories?"
"Lord Baron, it can be checked, there are no less than ten people who have seen the appearance of monsters with their own eyes, although several churches have jointly blocked the information after that, but after careful investigation, it can still be found that not only in nearby towns, but also in other places in the county, there are rumors of monsters. β
"That's right, how is the mobilization in the territory?" asked Baron Rocas.
"The roster has been compiled and overseen by the pastor of the God of Order Church, and I believe it will be in your hands soon. β
Having received the information he wanted to know, Baron Rocas nodded in satisfaction, and then waved his hand to the man to go down.
Leaning back in his chair alone, he was stunned: "In this way, it seems that my original decision was right, the first-line lord can't evacuate, hehe." If I hadn't made a decision at the beginning, then I would have been the one who should be worried now, what is this territory, if there is a real demonic disaster, I will temporarily take people to other places to take refuge, what is more important than living?"
Thinking of this, he smiled, but after laughing. He stood up again: "But now there is no guarantee that the battle line will continue to my territory, so take advantage of the fact that you are not yet the first-line lord, and transfer the wealth and some manpower first" It would be good if Alini was willing to retreat. β
At the same time, Baron Galle made the same emotion.
With the arrival of the New Year, there are more and more monster incidents breaking out in various places, and the news is almost impossible to hide. Except for the majority of those who don't know, who feel that these monsters have appeared too much, those few who know the inside story have accelerated their preparations and are ready to meet the coming of this demonic disaster.
"Your Excellency, have you heard everything that has happened recently?"
Although the layout of the villa study in the forest house is far inferior to that of the baron, it can still reflect the nobility of the owner.
Through the floor-to-ceiling windows, the sunlight poured on the floor and the sofa, and the January sun shone in, and in the study, only the old man Lu Lun and Luo Meng sat opposite each other, they were talking about a topic. It's also about the frequent outbreaks of monster events in various places.
Romon very much disagrees with this approach of the churches, and he sighed and said: "If you continue to hide it like this, I am afraid that those monsters will suddenly appear." It will cause more damage to ordinary people
βγ
Blocking the news is not a long-term solution, after all, even if the news is blocked, the demonic disaster that should come will still come, and if it drags on like this, the upper-level people will indeed have the first opportunity, but it is the ordinary people who suffer.
Old man Lu Lun actually didn't approve of this approach of the Church of the Lord of Light and the Church of the God of Order. But as an old man of learning, he received more detailed information than Romone: "But. It is said that the identification is already being made. β
"Oh, what's going on?"
"It is the open space in the city that has opened up camps, which may be the accommodation of future displaced people, and the various territories have also counted people, and may call young adults in times of crisis. β
"Then why not transfer?" asked Romon.
The old man Lu Lun expressed his contempt for this: "Transfer, where to transfer? Once the news leaks." I see that the whole county is going to flee all at once, and the front is indeed going to collapse, and you are still worried about yourself. Our lords can't withdraw even if they want to evacuate to the city, and the damn order that the front line is not allowed to evacuate. β
"What do you think, then, about the frequent outbreaks of monsters in various places right now, is this a sign that a demonic catastrophe is coming?" Romon asked.
Old man Lu Lun nodded: "Obviously, this is the reconnaissance operation of the Demon Legion on the surface world. This phenomenon will not last long, and war is coming.
"Is war coming?" Romont recalled, a complicated look on his face. And with some solemnity.
Just then, there was a knock on the door outside.
"Please come in. He pulled the door open, and it was Fafer who entered.
"Romon, what are you talking about in the room?" Fafer was a little unhappy that he began to avoid himself from the conversation.
"It's nothing, just talk about future plans" What's up, Fafer. Isn't it going to be anything?"
"Oh, yes, the guy who came last time is here again, a pound from the Church of the Lord of Radiance. Knight, say that the bishop is going to summon you.
Fafer said in disgust.
"The Bishop wants to summon me?" Hearing that the Bishop of Radiance was going to intersect with him, Romon was indeed uncomfortable, and he turned his face to look at the old man Lu Lun, and found that his expression was similar to his own at this time.
"Okay, I'll go out now, are the people still outside?" Romon reluctantly followed Fafer out.
"Well, just wait outside the door!" He saw the expressions of Luo Meng and Lu Lun just now. So, Fafer seemed worried.
Luo Meng patted him on the shoulder: "It's okay, just summon me, I'll be back soon."
βγ
looked at the old man Lu Lun behind him: "The territory will be entrusted to you first, and I will come back." β
Old man Lu Lun knew the meaning of his words and nodded.
Romon walked out with confidence, sure enough. Outside the door, the cavalry from last time was standing there, led by the paladin Sangerber.
"Lord Tateshaw, please!" Sangerber's gaze swept over the five silver threads on Romon's body, and he said, next to Sangerberg's horse, it was still the same carriage that Romon had sat in last time, but Romon had no choice but to sit on it.
Lu didn't say anything, this time, Romon didn't reverse the horse halfway, but directly took this carriage to the door of the Church of the Lord of Radiance.
Counting the nineteen steps again, in front of such a domed palace with crystal decorations, Romon was depressed.
On the other side of the staircase, several priests were chatting when they saw Sangeber walking up with Romon with him. One of the priests with three stripes stepped forward. "Lord Tateshaw?Romon Fanada?" asked the priest, looking at Romon .
Romon nodded and said, "Yes, I am Romong!"
Seeing the five-striped road sign on RomΓ³n's robe, the priest said politely: "Oh, Your Excellency, then please come here, the Bishop is waiting for you!"
Walking in the opposite direction, Romon sighed in his heart the importance of strength.
When he was only a lord, but he had not reached the level of the fifth level, these priests had a very indifferent attitude towards him, but now, he has broken through the boundary of the fifth level, and as an intermediate legal position, he has mastered the real combat power, and this qualitative leap has also made his status rise a lot.
The subtle change in the pastor's attitude towards him can be seen.
Following the marble stairs to the second floor, the priest stood in front of a door near the stairs: "This is it, wait a minute." β
As he spoke, he knocked respectfully on the door a few times.
"Who?" a calm voice came from inside, and although it was only one word, Romon could already hear that the person asking the question was Bishop Skeleton.
"Lord Bishop, I have brought Lord Tatshaw!" replied the priest respectfully.
"Okay, let him in. The man inside said.
"Yes!" the priest responded, looking at Romon "Lord Tatshaw, please come in!"
Romon nodded to him in thanks, then pushed the door open and stepped inside.
Unlike the last time I saw Bishop Ebik, this room was a little cramped, and it was obvious that it was only a temporary place to meet guests, and the room was very simple, except for tables and chairs, there were basically no furnishings.
Bishop Ebik, who had last been seen, was sitting behind a desk, working, when Romon came in. The other looked up and looked at him with a smile.
Romon stepped forward and saluted: "Your Excellency!"
"Very well, Lord Tatshaw, I have heard about you, congratulations on your promotion to the fifth rank. This will help a lot!" said Bishop Ebik with a smile, "You can sit down and talk!"
"Yes, Lord Bishop!" Romon thanked him and sat down across from him.
"Lord Tatshaw, seeing you this time has a very important matter for you to do, as a first-line lord, I hope you can cooperate. Bishop Ebik was not verbose, and saw Romon sit down. Just go straight to the roll call and see what Romon means this time.
"Your Excellency, please speak!" Romon knew he had no right to object, and he could do what he could. There is only listening and obedience.
Pleased with Romon's reaction, Bishop Ebic said: "I want you to lead the team and go underground in person." Draw a map of the underground space, and record what you see. I'll give you a few knights to assist you. I don't know if you agree?"
What can I do if I don't agree? Luo Meng secretly laughed at himself, and responded: "Yes, as you wish!"
However, he also put forward a condition. That is to ask to tell his good friend Fafel. After all, his current situation is too dangerous, and he needs a right-hand man to assist him.
Considering that the demonic disaster was just around the corner, the bishop agreed: "Okay, then so be it, but the news can't be leaked to ordinary people yet, do you understand?"
"Yes, understood, Bishop!"
