Lena lay in the canopy of a big tree, hiding among the dense foliage, watching the Baron Keene mansion in the distance.
She is an adventurer. Because she has inherited some special bloodlines, her eyesight is amazing, so she often picks up some tasks such as investigation and snooping, which can be regarded as a small celebrity.
Not long ago, she received a long-term mission to investigate the Baron Keene and collect intelligence as much as possible. The more and more detailed intelligence is collected, the more rewards she can get.
This task is settled every ten days. Although the person who pays hides his identity and refuses to show up, he only asks the Adventure Guild to settle the settlement on his behalf, but the money is very refreshing. Rena didn't want to meet with her employer, lest she be killed. This is just right now.
However, it is not easy to collect enough valuable information. Lena has already handed in two missions before and after, and now it is really difficult to find new information.
For example, she has been lurking in the tree outside the Baron’s Mansion for two days, but there is nothing else to gain apart from determining the residence and work and rest habits of everyone in the mansion.
If possible, she doesn't want to sell this kind of information as intelligence. After all, this kind of intelligence doesn't look like it can be used for purposes other than assassination. And Baron Keene has a good reputation and strong strength. The previous generation of Baron Keene was even able to return alive from the **** killing field of "The Day the Sun Is Extinguished" carrying the body of a friend. She absolutely does not want to be irretrievably hostile with such a character.
The adventurer seeks wealth, not for excitement. Rena has an elderly father and younger brothers and sisters, and she has been in the arena for several years. If the marriage hasn't even ended yet, and it's so troublesome and killed. That would be too bad.
So she secretly made up her mind if she couldn't find any valuable information today. Investigate in another place.
The sun is getting higher, and when the time is approaching noon, Reina sees the former Baron Keane who is reading the documents through a slightly remote study window.
This former baron is a legend: he was just an ordinary scholar back then, and he would compose one or two good poems, nothing more. But when he succeeded the baron, all kinds of wonderful stories happened one after another. First, he was dying from poisoning, then hòu was miraculously rescued, and then hòu was purged drastically in the territory. The spies who infiltrated almost all forces were swept away. Next, he went to the Masked Void Amusement Park. It is said that he was recruiting people, but he won the legendary "a gold coin" prize. After holding a huge amount of money, he began to promote agricultural reforms in the territory.
On others, this is already a complete legend. But for him, this is just the beginning of the legend.
Just when everyone thought that Baron Keene would lead his territory and the people to stride forward, because of the upper strata of the principality, he was sent to the Eagle Kingdom to support and fight the orcs. War. Then the battle was really earth-shattering. Hundreds of thousands of deaths and injuries on both sides caused the death of even the earliest deity of mankind, the knight god. But in that terrible battle, Baron Keene not only returned alive, but also brought back the body of his best friend Spencer.
Not only that. At that time, he was wounded and ill, and he killed the enemy who tried to intercept him on the way back!
Rena is very curious about the legend, especially the files he is looking at. So she hesitated a bit. The ability of blood inheritance was activated.
Her eyes that were originally light gray turned silvery white in an instant, and a faint gleam radiated from the eyeballs. If it is dark now. Perhaps these eyes will be as conspicuous as two small light bulbs.
And when this change happened, the scene in her vision suddenly increased. It seems that she suddenly came into the study, leaning close to the document in the hands of the former baron, and watching carefully.
That is a document about military training expenses and plans to conduct actual combat training in the near future.
Because of the angle, Reina must concentrate on reading the files that are opposite to her. So she didn't realize that the former baron stopped the action of flipping through the documents in his hand, and raised his head with interest, looking up in her direction.
[Leina, Strength 12, Constitution 12, Agility 14, Wisdom 20, Intelligence 12, Charisma 12, Prestige 60, Occupation: Ranger 5th, Scout 5th, Warlock 0th, Friendship degree is 60, special blood is in motion]
Crick doesn't have Reina's special bloodline, but he has the ability to see character attributes. And the distance between Lena and him at this moment is precisely within the range where the ability can be activated.
In fact, Crick spotted Lena lurking in a tree yesterday. It's just that he didn't think that this person had a low degree of friendship with him, and he didn't seem to be an enemy, so he ignored him.
No matter what this person named Lena wants to do, as long as the friendliness doesn't change, it doesn't matter much with him.
He smiled, then lowered his head, reading the document intently.
The territory has not been able to recover from the huge loss last time, and now all kinds of work are busy, as a lord, he has to work harder.
This little episode did not hinder his work. After reading the documents to be processed today, and after annotating all the documents that need to be annotated, he called an attendant and delivered the documents that needed to be returned, but hòu carried on his back. Shi Shiran went to the barracks to see the situation of the army.
It's been almost two months since the recruits have been training, so it should be time for them to try actual combat.
The barracks were built right next to the Baron’s Mansion, and it can be said to be neighbors. He arrived at the barracks soon, and was seeing thirty recruits under the command of Howard James Knight’s second son, Sean James, dressed in heavy armor, lined up in a neat line, and meticulously practicing spear thrusts.
Seeing his arrival, Xiao En smiled slightly, but didn't come over to say hello immediately, but let the soldiers take a short break before he greeted him.
"My lord, you came a little early today." He said, "The daily training hasn't been completed yet."
"I'm just here to see how they are training Liàn." Crick said with a smile, "Apart from anything else, this team is neat enough. It was pretty neat when the spears were shot together just now."
Sean nodded: "It's true. I thought they were not strong enough and their fighting power was not good. But now it seems that such honest and obedient people are also good. At least they train liàn seriously and work very neatly. It should be able to help a lot."
"Then ~IndoMTL.com~ are you interested in letting them try it out in action?" Crick said, "Recently, a group of gray goblins appeared in the nearby mountains. The number is about twenty to thirty. Let those guys stay with us Settling in front of the house is a bit dangerous. I plan to try to lure them out and fight an ambush. If you think you can, let them be the main force."
Sean lowered his head and began to ponder.
Grey goblin is a subspecies of goblin, the body is slightly stronger, but the fertility is not so strong. But as far as humans are concerned, as long as it is an evil and ferocious goblin, all species are the same, there are only two differences between "living" and "dead".
As the commander of this recruit, Sean is quite clear about the strength of his subordinates. They have to defeat thirty gray goblins—in theory, this is the most dà value. It is expected that the enemy is always lenient— There should be no problem, the problem is damage.
If the loss is too great, it's not worth it.
After the test, the brave young knight finally made up his mind, raised his head, and said firmly: "Then let them attack! Soldiers who have seen blood are good soldiers!" To be continued.)
