Chapter 196: Greedy (Part 2)

In the blink of an eye, at the end of January, the Castle of the Rocas Territory

The castle is built on a hillside not far from the town of Rica, with thick walls made of hard granite and surrounded by moats.

"Is the news accurate?" In the castle, Baron Rocas, who was opening the recent account book, raised his head, stared at the person in front of him, and asked again.

"Yes, Lord Baron, Lord Tatshaw, has already obtained the title of Level 5 Druid." A man in front said with a bow.

"Level 5 druid!" The Baron couldn't help but narrow his eyes.

After six thousand years of feudal society, in addition to the feudal system, there were also a group of privileged people.

Strictly speaking, the original Lord originally rewarded new people with a certain scale of real estate, or who had won great meritorious achievements in the war, as well as professionals who had exceeded five levels.

Now, both the fifth level druid and the status of the Lord are obtained, and the status and potential of Romon are completely different.

Baron Rocas put down the account book in his hand, closed it, then leaned back and leaned against the back of the chair. After a long time, he asked, "So, how is the situation with Tatshaw?"

"Baron, we went to check the situation of Tatshoe, and found that the layout of the Forest House and the Mining Village was very rigorous. The outer wall was built early, and it was taller and stronger than the walls of the Jazz House in the surrounding areas. The guards in the territory basically had level 2 strength and were very well equipped. The patrol team would not even rest at night. One shift came one by one. It is said that the harvest last year was very good, and a lot of grain was stored, and another batch of grain was purchased..."

These news made Baron Rocas narrow his eyes: "He is moving very fast... Have you ever inquired about any abnormal situations in his territory?"

This is what he wants to know the most.

"Master Baron, except for the Black Spider Monster, no other abnormal situations have been discovered." The man thought for a while and said, "However, I heard that in the mining area, there were once members of the Radiant Lord Church patrols and exits."

"What's the news in other territories?"

"The Baron, there are no less than ten people who have seen the appearance of monsters with their own eyes. Although several churches jointly blocked the information afterwards, they can still find out after careful investigation. Not only in nearby towns, but also in other places in the county, rumors of monsters have appeared."

"That's right. How is the mobilization in the territory?" Baron Rocas asked.

"The roster has been compiled and supervised by the pastor of the Church of the God of Order. I believe it will be handed over to you soon."

After getting the information I wanted to know, Baron Rocas nodded with satisfaction, and then waved his hand to the man down.

He leaned on the chair alone and started to daze: "It seems that my original decision was right. The lord of the front line could not evacuate. Haha, if I had not made a decision at the beginning, then I should be worried about the person I should be worried about now. What is this territory? If a demon disaster really occurs, I will take people elsewhere 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 front line will continue to my territory, so when you are not the lord of the front line, you can transfer wealth and some people first... If Elini is willing to retreat."

At the same time, Baron Galle also expressed the same emotion.

With the arrival of the New Year, more and more monster events broke out everywhere, and the news was almost impossible to hide. Except for most people who were unaware of the situation, they felt that there were too many of these monsters. The few people who knew the inside story had accelerated their preparations and were prepared to welcome the arrival of this magic disaster.

"Lord, you have heard of all the things that have happened in recent times?"

Although the villa study in Forest House is far inferior to the baron, it can still reflect the nobleness of the owner.

Through the floor-to-ceiling windows, the sun shone on the floor and the sofa. January sunshine shone in. In the study, only Old Man Lulun and Romon sat opposite each other. The topic they were talking about was also about the frequent monster incidents that broke out everywhere.

Romon was very dissatisfied with the practice of various churches. He sighed and said, "If you keep hiding this way, I'm afraid that the sudden appearance of those monsters will cause greater harm to ordinary people."

Blocking news is not a long-term solution. After all, even if the news is blocked, the devil that should come will still come. If this continues, the upper class will indeed have the advantage, but the suffering of ordinary people will be the ones.

Old Man Lulun actually did not agree with the practices of the Lord of Glory and the Church of Order, but as an old man who studies knowledge, he received more information than Romon: "However, it is said that he is already identifying it."

"Oh? What's going on?"

"It is the open space in the city that opens up camps, which may be the accommodation for future refugees. Various territories also count personnel, and may call up young and middle-aged people in the event of a crisis."

"Then why not transfer?" Romon asked.

Old Man Lu Lun expressed his contempt for this: "Transfer, where to move? Once the news is leaked, I see that all the people in the county will escape suddenly, and the front line is indeed about to collapse. You are still worried about yourself. Our leaders cannot retreat even if they want to retreat to the city. The damn order for the front line to not be allowed to evacuate."

"What do you think? Regarding the frequent outbreaks of monster events everywhere now? Is this a sign of the coming of the magic disaster?" Romon asked.

Old Man Lu Lun nodded: "It's obvious that this is the Demon Legion's reconnaissance operation on the ground world. This phenomenon will not last long and the war will come."

"Is the war coming?" Romon recalled this sentence, with a complicated expression on his face, and a little solemn.

Just then, a knock on the door sounded outside.

"Please come in." The door was opened, and it was Fafell who came in.

"Romon, what are you talking about in the room?" Even the conversation began to avoid himself, and Fafell was a little unhappy.

Romon said, "It's nothing, just talk about the future plans. What's wrong? Fafell, is something wrong?"

"Oh, that's right. The man who came last time came again. He was a knight from the Church of the Glory. He said that the bishop was going to summon you." Fafell said in disgust.

"The Bishop wants to summon me? Bishop Ebik?" When he heard that Bishop of Glory was about to have an intersection with him, Romon was indeed uncomfortable all over. He turned to look at Old Man Lulun and found that his expression was similar to that of him at this time.

"Okay, I'll go out now. Are you still outside?" Romon had no choice but to follow Fafeer.

"Well, just wait outside the door!" He saw the expressions of Romon and Lulun just now, so Fafeer seemed very worried.

Romon patted his shoulder: "It's okay, I'll just summon me, I'll be back soon."

Looking at the old man Lulun behind him: "I'll give you the territory first, wait for me to come back."

Old Man Lulun knew what he meant and nodded.

Romon then walked out with confidence. Sure enough, outside the door, the cavalry team that last time stood there, and the Paladin Sangerber was still the leader.

"Lord Tatshaw, please!" Sangerber's eyes swept across the five silver threads on Romon's body, and said, beside Sangerber's horse, the carriage that Romon had taken the last time. Helplessly, Romon had to sit in.

There was nothing to say along the way. This time, Romon did not fall down the horse halfway, but instead came directly to the door of the Lord of the Glory Church in this carriage.

He counted the nineteen steps again, and in front of such a dome, the palace decorated with crystal, Romon's mood was suppressed.

On the platform on the other side of the stairs, several priests were chatting. Seeing Sangerber walking up with Romon, one of them came up with three stripes. "Lord Tatshaw, Romon, Fanada?" the priest looked at Romon and asked.

Romon nodded and said, "Yes, I am Romon!"

Seeing the five-striped road signs on Romon's robe, the pastor said politely: "Oh, sir, please come here, the Bishop is waiting for you!"

Following the other direction, Romon sighed in his heart the importance of strength.

When he was just a lord but had not reached the level five level, these priests were very dull in their attitude towards him. Now, he has broken through the boundary of level five. As an intermediate legal post, he has mastered truly combatable power. This qualitative leap has also increased his status a lot.

The clues can be seen from the subtle changes in the pastor’s attitude towards him.

Following the marble steps, I walked to the second floor. In front of a door next to the stairs, the pastor stopped: "It's here, wait a moment."

As he said that, he knocked on the door respectfully.

"Who?" A calm voice came from it. Although it was just a word, Romon had already heard that the person asking the question was Bishop Ebik.

"Sir, I brought Lord Tatshaw!" the pastor replied respectfully.

"Okay, let him come in." The person inside said.

"Yes!" the priest responded and looked at Romon: "Lord Tatshaw, please come in!"

Romon nodded to him and then pushed open the door and walked in.

Unlike the place where I met Bishop Ebik last time, this room was a little narrow. It can be seen that it was just a temporary place to meet guests. The room was arranged very simply, and there were basically no decorations except tables and chairs.

Bishop Ebik, whom I met last time, was sitting behind a desk, working. When Romon came in, the other party raised his head and looked at him with a smile.

Romon stepped forward and saluted: "Master Bishop!"

"Very good, Lord Tatshaw, I have heard of your affairs. Congratulations on your promotion to level 5, which will be of great help!" Bishop Ebik said with a smile: "Sit down and talk!"

"Yes, Lord Bishop!" Romon hurriedly thanked and sat opposite him.

"Lord Tatshaw, this time I see you, there is a very important thing for you to do. As a lord on the front line, I hope you can cooperate." Bishop Ebik was not long-winded. When he saw Romon sitting down, he called out the meaning of meeting Romon this time.

"Please say, sir!" Romon knew that he had no right to object, and all he could do was listen and obey.

Very satisfied with Romon's reaction, Bishop Ebik said: "I hope you will lead the team to go underground in person and draw the map of the underground space. At the same time, record the situation you see. I will give you a few knights to help you. I wonder if you agree?"

What can I do if I don’t agree? Romon secretly laughed at himself and responded: “Yes, as you wish!”

However, he also put forward a condition, which was to tell his good friend Fafell. After all, his current situation was too dangerous and he needed a capable assistant to assist him.

Considering that the demon disaster was right in front of him, the bishop agreed: "Okay, then that's it, but the news can't be revealed to ordinary people now, do you understand?"

"Yes, I understand, Lord Bishop!"
