Chapter 477: Inquiry (1)
Chapter 477 Inquiry (Part 1)
A heavy rain last night was a bit chilly, but as soon as the morning sun shone on the earth, the chill of the rain completely turned into a source of warm mist.
The town of Ricca seemed very lively in the early morning because it was the season for sowing, and many people woke up early. After having eaten a much more hearty breakfast than usual, they had to rush to the fields and work to sow seeds.
Even the mayor and those officials who are usually pampered and live in poverty are no exception.
Time is precious to the people of Rika Town at this time.
On the streets of the town, farmers in groups of three or three walked out of the town with their farm tools after breakfast.
Almost all stores have opened at this time.
But there are exceptions. The blacksmith family, who have always been very hardworking, have unexpectedly not opened the door these days.
At the beginning, not many people noticed this situation. The blacksmith's family relied on craftsmanship, not on farming to make a living. It was no big problem to get up early and get up late. Besides, who didn't have a time to visit relatives and friends?
But as time goes by, people's attention is attracted. The blacksmith shop can't be opened for a while, but as time goes by, those who want to cast iron tools are anxious.
In the entire town of Ricca, there were not many iron tools that needed to be cast. In addition to casting agricultural tools, the townspeople rarely cast weapons. Therefore, it is unnecessary to survive in the town with a blacksmith shop.
There is only such a blacksmith shop in the entire town of Ricca. Its long-term closure has caused a lot of inconvenience to people.
"Ike, go do farm work?"
In the morning, a big man walked on the street, carrying two farm tools like a few days ago. The townsmen who were coming and going greeted him warmly, and the man's name was Eke.
He has always had a good popularity in the town. When the magic disaster broke out, he once rushed to the front and was injured in order to save a child from his neighbor. Although his injuries were not serious, he was respected by his neighbors since then.
When I heard someone ask, Ike smiled and replied, "Isn't it? The head of the farm tool is broken. Go and find a blacksmith to help repair it."
The sound is loud and the steps are very high, and the breath of a strong and powerful sacred people is everywhere.
He walked very quickly, and soon walked from the street to the blacksmith shop at the end of the street. Seeing the door of the blacksmith shop was closed, Ike couldn't help but raise his thick eyebrows: "There was no one here yesterday, why did he close the door again today?"
"Ike, what's wrong?" Someone passed by the blacksmith shop again and saw him standing in front of the door and said casually: "Are you here to find a blacksmith? They have been away from home for several days, and the door has been locked, and I don't know where they are going. It's strange that they seemed to have walked overnight that night, and they walked so urgently, and I really don't know what happened."
"You left overnight? You see?" As soon as Ike heard this, his eyes narrowed slightly and asked again.
"Well, I did leave overnight. You know, I always have the problem of going to the tavern to blow skin in the evening. I will only come back when the moon rises high. Just a few days ago, after drinking, I was about to go home, and I saw a blacksmith's family, and a strange-looking person who walked very quickly on the street. I woke up halfway through the wine. I didn't notice that it was their family. When I hid and looked carefully, I realized that it was them..." When the man talked about this topic, he felt a little unable to stop the gate.
"Midnight? A person wearing weird clothes? What kind of weird way?" Ike continued to ask.
"I was a little confused at that time and didn't see clearly. Anyway, I was walking with them..." The man replied nonsense.
Seeing that Ike couldn't ask any other clues, he talked casually for a few words, carried the farm tools and walked towards the home.
He lives alone in his family. A young man in his twenties has not yet started a family, but the room is cleaned up very well. He closed the courtyard gate and put down the farm tools in the corner. He didn't bother to wipe his hands and walked towards the side room.
A lock was hung on the door, and the lock was opened. A dove screamed, causing a smile to burst into his face.
There was a table next to it, with paper and pen in the drawer. Take out a thin piece of white paper, write a few lines of words on it, and roll the words into a long strip, and stuff it into a small tube on the pigeon's legs.
"Go." Walking outside, throwing the dove in your hand upwards, the white bird spread its wings and flew towards the distance, and that direction was Tetashaling.
A day later, Romon, who was reading the account book in the study, welcomed the first and second guests of today - Nick and Fafell.
The two people's visit at the same time surprised Romon a little. You know, since more and more things happened in the territory, these two partners have rarely come to him together.
"Nick, Fafell, why are you here?" Romon asked curiously with putting down the book of half of his hand.
"Come here to visit Lord Viscount!" Fafell said with a smile, but judging from his expression, there seemed to be something worried.
Nick on the side was the same. Although this emotion was hidden, Romon not only had strong observation skills, but also their good friend, so he could naturally see their emotions at a glance.
"Sit down, you must have something to do when you come here. Tell me, what's the matter?" Romon asked directly.
The two of them sat down in front of him, and Nick spoke first: "I received the news from the detective that the Rollek family suddenly disappeared. It was the seventh day today. Their home was empty. Not only were there people but also valuable things. Look, what happened?"
Nick didn't say that they grew up together, but Rolek's later actions made Romon very sad. They also knew that Romon was open-minded, but he would never accept someone who had betrayed him again.
Fafell, who was standing by, originally wanted to say something, but probably thought of this, so it was hard to say it again.
It was already April, not only were there many agricultural matters on the territory, but the cultivation, sowing and construction of Treasure Island were already on the agenda. Although Romon didn't have to do it himself, just guiding, directing, thinking, approving, and checking the account books had already made him very busy.
After hearing the news, he felt that this matter was a little strange, but he didn't take it seriously. Seeing that the two partners were a little worried, he shook his head and said, "Even if there is really something wrong, it's their own choice, isn't it?"
Nick and Fafel looked at each other and saw that Romon was dissatisfied. Then they changed the subject and began to discuss the spring sprinkling signs on the territory.
"Romon, my territory is now planted with wheat. Whether it can be harvested this time depends on whether your seeds are useful." Fafeer said half-jokingly.
He and Nick had long been granted the title of nobles, and their territory also had the size of the original Romon. Although their family strength was weak, at this development speed, the families of Nick and Fafell will definitely take root in this territory like Viscount Tetashau.
"Well, your territory has been sown? It seems that the island and I are going to work harder." Romon listened, held his forehead and said with a smile.
Although the busy Romon felt a little strange about the disappearance of the Rolek family, he had no instructions.
All his thoughts at this time were on the spring sowing.
Nick and Fafell also saw it. Although they thought this matter was very strange, they did not go into it further.
Besides, Rolek and the three of them were once extraordinary. After all, they were Baron Rocas's people and had no substantial relationship with them. Even if something really happened, they would not be able to find them.
"After the spring plowing, you can take us to Treasure Island to see. We have been busy with the territory, so we don't even have the chance to go to the island to take a look." Nick suddenly mentioned this matter.
Fafell also said: "Yes, I have heard that Treasure Island is well built. When the spring plowing is over, you can take us to take a walk."
In fact, Fafeer has no thoughts about that island. He is very thoughtful about taking a boat to sea. The previous few times he transported refugees were all by sea. Although it was easier to walk by land, it was very dangerous. If he applied to take a land route, Romon would definitely not agree.
Now Fafer is also a famous nobleman, and he has to bear the responsibility of his family and can no longer be as casual as before.
Since it would be better to go on the sea, he had the idea of helping refugees, going to mainland China and looking for demons to improve his combat skills.
It's been a year, and basically his martial arts are still at the original level, but still at the level 6!
"Okay, after the spring sowing is over, I will take you to the island for a few days. It can't be too long. You are the pillars of the territory, especially Fafer. You can't make the idea of taking a boat to the mainland." Romon agreed to the request of the two, but before these two were happy, Nick and Fafer were sad.
Fafeer lamented, "Hey, why did I get on your pirate ship!"
"Why, I regret it now? I want to come down? It's too late!" Romon cooperated with Fafell's sad and angry look and smiled cunningly.
Then, the three good friends laughed.
Nick and Fafell knew very well that without Romon's help, even if they worked hard for a lifetime, they would not have achieved what they are now. Now is the time to build territory, and it is indeed not time to travel far.
"Wait for this year to pass, the territory is fully on track and the manpower is enough. It's not too late to think about it, especially you, Fafell, you are only twenty years old now, and you are already level six. Before you are thirty, you still have a lot of time to sprint." Romon said.
In fact, when it comes to this, who can compare to Romon and upgrade one level a year!
After hearing this, Fafell nodded helplessly. At this time, he couldn't help but think of Rolek, and he sighed secretly.
Rolek, you can only ask for blessings.
