Chapter 166 Met Harder Again, The Secret of the Earl Family
Roja was walking on the dirt road in the lush forest.

The closer to the Tallinn Empire, the taller and more lush the trees are, as if walking in an ancient forest.

As long as no one walks on the road for a month, it will be covered by forest erosion, overgrown with weeds and small trees, and it will no longer look like it used to be.

Roja carried a package on his back with a big sword on his waist, and walked at a leisurely pace.

Holding the unknown wild fruit picked from the roadside just now in his hand, he bit it down, the juice overflowed, and the sweet and sweet taste filled his mouth.

Roja was not in a hurry, after practicing so hard for so long, it was time to relax.

He enjoys this relaxed feeling.

Unfortunately, the pleasant tranquility was soon broken.

The branches around Roja trembled, several malicious men with sharp knives rushed out of the forest and surrounded Roja.

"Boy, take out everything on your body!"

"He looks like a noble young master, shall we take him back?"

"I didn't expect to meet a fat sheep?"

Looking at the sharp sword pointed at him, Roja raised his hands.

"Can you guys wait a bit before doing it?" Roja said.

When the robbers were puzzled, they heard the sound of horseshoes from a distance.

Hearing the sound of horseshoes, the spirits of the robbers suddenly tensed up.

"He has a partner?"

"Is that the guard he brought?"

"It's probably because the young master thought the guards were in the way, so he left the guards alone and ran to the front to play?"

"Catch him before the guards arrive!"

Listening to these words and watching the other party's actions, Roja slightly shook his head regretfully.

buzzing-

crackling-

Several oscillating forces shot out from the roar of the holy sword Lionheart at his waist, and precisely hit every robber in Roja.

All of a sudden, those robbers exploded like water-filled balloons pierced by needles, turning into a puddle of meat sauce, and there was no piece larger than soybeans.

After killing the robber, more than ten seconds passed.

call-

A group of ten cavalrymen stopped beside Roja, and the leader was the Earl of Hejian, Hade Bumons.

I haven't seen him for a year. Compared with the last time we met, Harder has become much older. He is only in his early 30s, but he looks like he is in his 50s.

Hader jumped off the horse and knelt down in front of Roja.

"Master Roja, there is a winery not far from me. If you don't mind, you can go to the winery for a drink." Hade said.

"Okay." Roja nodded.

In the winery.

In front of the long table that can accommodate more than ten people at the same time, Roja and Hader sat facing each other. There were only the two of them in the entire vast hall, not even a servant serving them.

"Lord Roja, since you came out of the Forest of Steles, does that mean you have become a paladin?" Hader asked.

"That's it."

Roja nodded while eating.

"A paladin? Well, I used to just want to be an ordinary knight. When my strength reaches the limit of a great knight, I will go to the Forest of Steles..." Harder looked gloomy, "This is fate."

Having become the earl that many people dream of, Harder is not happy at all.

"Hejian region has encountered so many things, so there should be a lot of things to do, right? I think you seem to be quite leisurely?" Roja asked.

"A lot of people died from the plague. After the plague ended, a lot of surviving people fled. There are only tens of thousands of people left in the entire Hejian area. The number of residents in the territory is not even as large as that of a viscount's territory. Can you not relax?"

Harder took a sip of his wine, "And I have already passed on the title of earl to my son, I am just a knight now."

"Knight Harder, as an earl family, your Bumons family should have produced many wizards?" Roja asked tactfully.

Roja's words are equivalent to asking, as the earl family, how did you get so miserable?

And as far as Roja knows, there have been two official wizards in the history of the Bumons family.

With the inheritance and connections of the two official wizards, no matter how evil the Mandolin wizard is, he would not dare to directly kill the Bumons family until there are only three or two big cats and kittens left?
Roja doesn't know much about the wizarding world, and he can't compare with those from the wizarding family, but for general knowledge that doesn't involve wizards, he can be said to be at the level of a great doctor, and there are not many people in the entire Six Kingdoms who can compare with him.

Especially the knowledge inside the Shenglan Kingdom.

Roja knows who the Earl of Hejian is, who is the Countess of Hejian's wife, children, etc.

But he had never heard of Hard Boommons before.

There could be only two, one, Hader is fake.Two, Harder is the unrecognized illegitimate child born to his mistress.

Counterfeit is unlikely.

Then it can only be the illegitimate child of the mistress.

Many nobles have a bunch of mistresses and a bunch of illegitimate children. There is no need to know about the illegitimate children born by these mistresses who have no inheritance rights.

However, Harder was able to sit on the Earl of Hejian, which means that almost all the people above him are dead, and those who are not dead dare not inherit the Earl of Hejian at all.

In a plague, it is normal for civilians to die and the whole family, nobles?Or Earl?There were two earl families with official wizards in the ancestors?
It can only be killed by someone!
You don't need to think about it to know that that person is the mandolin wizard!
So back to the original question, why did the mandolin wizard dare so much?will do so?

What about the background of the Earl of Hejian's Bummons family?What about contacts?
Roja was very puzzled, and he expected Harder to explain it to him.

"After I became the Earl of Hejian, I read the secret scrolls that only the Earl of Hejian is entitled to read... In fact, the mandolin wizard was once the illegitimate daughter of the head of our Bummons family at that time." Harder said in a low voice. .

"...Is that so." No need to continue, Roja can already guess what happened.

Roja has already made up the story of the illegitimate daughter's counterattack in his mind.

If the mandolin wizard is counted, so there are actually three official wizards in the Bummons family?
"I don't know if there is anything related to wizards left in the Bumons family?" Roja asked.

Roja was willing to stop going to the root of the earth, drink and chat with Harder, a stranger who only met once, because he took a fancy to the identity of the Earl of Hejian.

In this world where the strong are respected, who doesn't need strong strength to obtain a title?

Without the strength of a knight, the most you can do is buy an honorary knight title that cannot be hereditary and has no territory.

If you want to become a baron, the barons behind you can be weaker, and you only need to have the strength of a knight.

The first generation was either a great knight, or had a relationship with the Viscount Earl, such as marrying the Viscount's daughter.

And want to get the title of Earl.

Either they have produced official wizards, or they can continue to train wizard apprentices, making great contributions to the empire.

As an earl family that produced three official wizards, the Bummons family has declined due to the revenge of the mandolin wizard. It has not even produced a wizard apprentice in 300 years, but the emaciated camel is bigger than the horse. Perhaps there are still some wizarding items in the collection?

If there are no wizard props, wizard knowledge is also ok?
Under Roja's gaze, Hader frowned, "As the illegitimate child of my mistress, I have never been exposed to anything and knowledge related to wizards since I was a child."

"After I became the Earl of Hejian, I looked through the volumes collected by the Bumons family. Unfortunately, many volumes have been lost, and there are no books related to wizards at all."

"As far as I know, the only one that has anything to do with wizards should be this Boumons Winery."

Harder stepped on the floor under his feet, "Thousands of years ago, when the Bumons family was still a baron, this was the seat of the Baron's castle of the Bumons family."

"Even though he later became a viscount and an earl, this place is still of great significance to the Bummons family, and there is even a huge space under the winery."

"I have been exploring there for many days, but unfortunately I found nothing."

These words made Roja's eyes brighten, "Take me to have a look!"

The reason why Hader brought Roja here was for this purpose, so after Roja made this request, he nodded and agreed without hesitation.
