Tribulation of Mysteries - Chapter 29

[Chapter 29 Gift]

The hot summer came suddenly.

After a heavy rain, Aaron looked at the dark red potion in his hand, slightly dazed: “Finally… it succeeded.”

After countless failures, he finally succeeded in creating a potion and used it slowly. , combined with exercise, should have some benefits for strengthening the body.

“In terms of effect, it’s about the same as some potions in the previous life…”

“And…it’s impossible to break through the limits of human beings.”

“What did I do after spending so much time and energy?”

Aaron asked slightly. Frustration.

He discovered that at some point, his hair had grown to his shoulders.

After thinking about it, he pulled out the dagger and gave himself a simple head shave. Then he called Dai Li and took a good bath.

“Let the bachelor come over!”

After taking a bath and tidying up, Aaron, who was refreshed and energetic, called the territorial bachelor Albert.

“My bachelor, what big things happened in the territory recently?”

Aaron asked casually.

“Thanks to the blessing of the Green Grandmother, everything in the territory is peaceful. Even though there are some bad rumors in the prison, there are also people who are afraid that you will sentence them too severely…”

Albert’s fat face showed some anxiety.

“This is necessary.”

Aaron did not give an explanation at all. Could it be said that in order to obtain enough test subjects, a heavy sentence must be imposed?

“But don’t worry, this kind of thing will become less common in the future.”

After thinking about it, he looked at Albert’s somewhat graying hair and expressed relief.

“Your kindness is as bright as a star!”

Albert quickly bowed and saluted: “In addition, your birthday is approaching, and gifts have been delivered to Sotos Castle…”

Aaron was startled, he I was born in the summer, on a night of lightning and thunder, but I haven’t celebrated birthdays much since I grew up, and have almost ignored them.

Unexpectedly, after becoming a lord, he would be taken seriously again.

I have to say, it’s a little ironic.

“So… do you think I should go back to the castle and hold a banquet?” Aaron asked casually.

“According to the custom of the Green Forest people, once a family member becomes independent, the relationship with the original relatives will no longer be close…” Albert wiped the cold sweat from his face.

He didn’t know why, but he always felt that the majesty of the master he served was almost comparable to the Earl of Green Forest himself.

“But… this is your first birthday after being knighted. Maybe returning to the castle is an option.”

He suggested euphemistically: “Besides, Mrs. Sylvie is about to give birth, so you still have to go back to the castle.”

I need to prepare a gift.”

“That’s right…”

Aaron nodded and suddenly smiled: “I really should go back to the castle to take a look. The first batch of spring wheat has matured and can be used as a gift.”

…

in a few days .

after.

A convoy drove slowly to the town outside Fort Sotos.

It started with a carriage, followed by many carts. On the carts were bags of wheat, exuding an alluring scent of fragrance.

At the gate of the castle, the carriage stopped, Aaron jumped out of the carriage and stretched.

He took the opportunity to sleep for a while in the carriage and used his [Danger Sense] ability in his dream.

As the dreams intensified each time during these days, although his consciousness in the dream did not awaken other powers, his [Danger Perception] ability seemed to have increased.

Intuition is becoming more and more acute, and it is indeed beginning to develop in the direction of ‘dream divination’.

“Am I too paranoid?”

He casually sent a guard to inform him. Aaron looked at the huge wooden door of the castle and couldn’t help but think to himself.

Not long after, the gate of the castle opened with a bang, and Theodore in a wolf fur coat personally greeted him: “Our wanderer finally knows to return home?”

“Salute to you!”

Aaron bowed first, and then pointed to the board behind him. Che: “I have brought the latest harvest in the territory. I hope you like this gift.”

“This spring wheat…”

Theodore stepped forward, took out a dagger, and pierced a pocket at random, feeling the flow of wheat. The wheat was full of vitality, and he couldn’t help but be moved: “This is… a good variety. How much does one ram produce in your territory?”

As a lord, he also attached great importance to farming.

“Roughly around 1,500 pounds…”

Aaron replied with a smile. He couldn’t hide this from others anyway. Not to mention his own subjects bragging all day long, he could make a rough estimate by just looking at the property from passers-by.

“Hiss…”

He immediately heard Theodore’s gasp: “So much? Then your current territory can earn 1,000 Naals at a time…”

Green Forest has no local currency, and Naals are also Kaga. A monetary unit passed down from various kingdoms.

“Actually, there’s not that much, because I split the food 50-50 with the farmers, and the food needs to be stored, so I can’t sell it all to merchants… So it would be good to have 200 Naals.”

Aaron shook his head.

“Fifty-five? You are too kind…” Theodore frowned instinctively: “This is inconsistent with your previous actions of strict laws.”

“I think kindness and severity are like the two wheels of a carriage. No matter which one is missing, it will not be able to effectively make the people surrender…”

Aaron said: “On the one hand, I feed them, and on the other hand, I also need to severely punish them so that they dare not violate my laws. “

This is actually all nonsense, he is just trying to find an excuse for himself.

As for the land rent, 50% is already terrifying…

Theodore wanted to say something, but in the end he sighed: “Well, whatever you want, after all, that is your territory. Come in with me!”

He took Aaron and walked into the huge castle: “You came just in time. Thanks to the blessing of my grandmother, Sylvie just gave birth to a baby boy. Our castle is going to hold two happy events in a row. I think …We can hold a martial arts tournament to celebrate. “

The atmosphere of Green Forest is full of savagery and primitiveness.

For example, when there is a grand celebration, they like to entertain by fighting and other methods.

Later, with the influence of the civilization of the Kingdom of Kargash, it became a more regular martial arts tournament.

The winner will often receive generous rewards. It is said that in the Kingdom of Kargash, the champion will be canonized as a knight and may even be given a territory.

But in the Green Forest, this is impossible. The most you can get is the title of Warrior and a lot of money.

Aaron strolled into the hall and immediately saw Mrs. Sonia, Sean, and Ginny who came out to greet them. The lady was now very kind and smiled at Aaron.

“Where’s Colin?”

Theodore looked around and said with some dissatisfaction.

“The young master is in the delivery room…”

The old bachelor bowed: “Mrs. Sylvie’s postpartum condition is not good. I’m afraid… I’m afraid she will be called by God…”
