Chapter 62: Meeting the Baron

The small town of Potter is very weak defensively.

Of course, this cannot be entirely blamed on Baron Gedel.

Jadel is a very business-minded baron, he has experienced a lot and made a lot of money in the years he has been away from home and working hard, and since he returned to the town and sat in the position of baron, the business of the whole town has gradually begun to develop in a better direction, and it has almost realized that as long as he is willing to endure hardship, then even ordinary people can live the life they want.

They can choose to set up a larger house for themselves, or they can keep in touch with a skilled woman two or three times a week.

It can be said that Jadel has fulfilled his childhood dream.

He was born in the small town of Potter when he was a child, and his dream was to make this sea-trading town great again.

But as the so-called art industry has a specialization, although Jadel has achieved his dream, he has also neglected many places other than the "wallet".

This is how the Black Snake Gang rose.

In the same way, because we only focused on "making money" and ignored the defensive strength, this led to the occurrence of the "Shawa Fishman Disaster".

Ryan remembers.

If the player does not inform the Baron of this beforehand, the event will cause at least 400 civilians to die and 100 defenders to the town of Potter.

……

"This is Baron Jadel's estate."

Ryan stepped on the gravel pavement and looked at the buildings in front of him.

This is a manor house that is more in line with the "aristocratic style".

The first thing that catches your eye is a large garden, and behind the garden is a high-end marble building with a dark blue color.

But it's located in a bustling area of the town center of Portertown, and you can hear the vendors selling across the street.

In this respect, Jedel is different from many other nobles.

"Hello, I'm Orpheus, the paladin who worships the god of justice," Orpheus spoke up when he saw a well-dressed servant approaching them, "My friend and I have something to look for the baron of this town. ”

"Your Excellency the Holy Warrior has something to do with our master?"

Hearing this, the servant's expression became nervous.

"That's right, and it's a very important matter, and we must make it clear to the Baron face to face," Orpheus said solemnly, looking at Ryan and gaining the latter's approval, "I don't think you want your delay to cause irreparable consequences in this matter, do you?" ”

Hearing this, the servant did not dare to continue to block anything, and hurriedly took out the key to open the iron door.

"Thank you."

Orpheus nodded to the servant, and walked with Ryan and his party towards the baron's mansion under the servant's nervous and uneasy gaze.

When he came to the door, Orpheus expressed his intentions, which was something that Ryan and Orpheus had already discussed.

As for why this is done, it is mainly related to a piece of history.

The Paladins are so good and righteous that they want to rid the world of all evil.

Once upon a time, the Paladins often clashed with the nobility or chambers of commerce on a large scale.

The reason is because in the eyes of these holy warriors in the past, none of these people met the "justice" in their hearts, and the only way to redeem such people was to kill them.

And this history has only lasted less than 50 years.

The reason is also very simple, because the paladins are beginning to discover that such people cannot be killed if they follow their logic and code of conduct.

For example, the nobility, their status determines that they cannot be orderly and good.

The same is true of the Chamber of Commerce, which focuses on the exchange of interests in the eyes of businessmen, which leads to the fact that as long as a successful businessman camp is basically orderly, evil.

If they cut them all, what will happen to their families, and who will keep them going?

And that's just in theory.

The strict tenets of the Paladins have led to the fact that the number of people who choose the Paladins as their career path is not even 10% of the warriors, and such a small number of personnel is simply not enough to support them.

So after realizing this, the paladins began to slowly choose to compromise, even if they encountered people from the evil camp, as long as they were not chaotic and evil, they would generally conduct a background check on them before acting.

Later, the paladins even became the cavalry commanders of the kingdom and served the royal power itself.

But even so, the paladin's loyalty to the royal power and nobility was far inferior to their loyalty to the righteousness and cause of justice in their hearts.

Therefore, when ordinary nobles or their servants encounter holy warriors, they will basically be polite.

After all, if they annoyed the paladins, these people would really kill them directly.

……

After officially entering the baron's mansion all the way, and being received by the butler, the other party's coping strategy was obviously much more skillful than that of the servant just now.

After making a side inquiry about the purpose of Orpheus's visit to the mansion, and making sure that they had not come to trouble the baron, but that they really had something important to say, the butler immediately offered to lead the way, and never said anything superfluous after that.

The butler led Ryan and his party all the way up to the second floor of the mansion, through the heavily carpeted pavement, and finally stopped in front of a wide, high-grade wooden door.

"Here we are, ladies and gentlemen," said the butler, knocking on the door, and when he heard the baron inside, he replied in agreement, "please allow me to go in and tell the lord about the situation." ”

With that, the butler pushed the door open and walked in.

Ryan turned his head and gently patted the shoulder of the warrior monk girl who looked a little helpless, and smiled gently, "Don't worry, I said I would help you." ”

Ann nodded slightly.

Amy's response was a little more lively, she lay on Ryan's back, and smiled cheerfully, "Ann, they are our benefactors, whether the Baron decides to help us or not, you must not forget to repay them." ”

At first, Amy was actually a little afraid to talk to Ryan, and occasionally spoke in a very low voice, until Ryan half-jokingly told her that such listlessness was not conducive to recovery, and she gradually opened up.

"yes, I know."

Ann lowered her head again and whispered.

Her appearance at this time looked like she was not the same as the warrior monk girl covered in blood who was fighting in the alley at that time.

But Ryan can understand Ann's mood right now.

Not only is the environment here, which this warrior monk girl from the slums has never been exposed to.

And for her, the most important self is obviously only one time with her, and she is a complete stranger in form, but she is willing to help her do so much.

"It's okay, Ann is a nice girl, I don't think she will forget."

Ryan said with a smile.

And just as Ryan was about to distract himself from a light topic, the butler who had just entered the report came out.
