Chapter 23 Departure
The day to go to the royal capital is getting closer and closer, and the baron's mansion is also busy, making preparations for the lord who is about to travel.

A few days before departure.

Abel found Ron alone, worried, and said, "My lord, do you really not need me to accompany you?"

For this trip to the capital, the six knights who were originally selected, plus a groom and a maid.

"Sig and the others are enough. You are the most powerful knight in the Baron's Mansion, and I will leave it to you to guard the territory." Ron was more worried about the enemies in the dark destroying the territory when he was out.

Abel seemed to understand what he was thinking, nodded slightly, and said, "This subordinate understands."

Ron smiled gratifiedly, and then said in a deep tone: "If the worst happens, you are allowed to use the sword on the training ground at a critical moment."

Hearing this, Abel was taken aback for a moment, and then figured out that what Ron was talking about was the two-handed sword forged by Master Hadey.

Before, after Master Hadey sent the sword, it had been placed on the training ground and fixed with a separate iron frame.Because it was too heavy, he and Ibuprofen were the only ones who could afford it. After Sieg broke through, there was another person who could lift the sword.

Because of the special situation of this sword, it is not used in normal training, so it is placed there and no one will move it.

Abel heard rumors that the lord often went to the training ground recently to observe the two-handed sword, at least half an hour at a time.

"Yes, my lord."

Abel couldn't figure out the reason, but the lord must have his reasons for saying this, so just obey.

Originally, Irene had been looking forward to this trip to the capital for a long time. This might be the last chance in her life to see the outside world.

However, Ron didn't let Irene, his personal maid, follow, but let her stay and take care of Melittoia. Hearing Ron make this choice, it was like a bolt from the blue. At that time, Irene cried heartbreakingly, as if the sky They are all going to collapse.

In desperation, Ron promised to bring her special products from the capital.Therefore, the accompanying maid needs to find another person.

This task fell on Diana, and being able to accompany the lord to the royal capital for the succession ceremony was an honor that all the maids in the mansion wanted.

When Diana was about to be chosen, a maid found her late at night.

-

time flies.

Soon the day of departure will come.

In front of the mansion gate.

All the people in the mansion gathered here to bid farewell to the lord who was about to leave.

In front of the carriage, Ron glanced at everyone and said in a calm voice.

"It will take at least ten and a half months to go to the royal capital for the conferring ceremony. During my absence, you will perform your duties and everything will be arranged by Egbert."

"Yes! Your lord."

The crowd answered in unison.

Ron looked at Joyce, who was bowing his head in the crowd. Now she is in charge of the affairs of the territory, but other people in the baron's mansion don't know about it, claiming that Egbert is in charge.

On the surface, what he said just now was listened to by Egbert, but in fact it was all arranged by Joyce behind the scenes.

Ron also entrusted Joyce in private to properly handle the affairs of the territory, and he could mobilize Abel and Egbert if necessary.

Joyce's rationality far exceeds sensibility, and she naturally knows what to do is right. Through this period of getting along, Ron thinks that he has enough understanding of Joyce's way of thinking, so there is nothing to worry about.

"Brother."

Melittoya stood in front of the crowd, her eyes were red, and she called out in a tone that looked like she was about to cry at any moment.

Ron looked down and saw that she was obediently wearing a bowknot hairpin. He reached out and patted her on the head lightly, saying, "Stay well at home and wait for me to come back to see your study results."

He exhorted and didn't say anything else.

"Okay, let's go."

Without wasting any more time, Ron got into the carriage, followed by an orange-haired maid.

Sig and six other knights guarded the carriage on horseback.

When he was about to set off, Abel stepped forward quickly, grabbed Thomas's rein, and said in a low voice: "Thomas, I'm not here, so be careful on the road. Although Sig is a second-level knight, he still lacks experience. You need to worry about it, and you must not let the lord get into trouble."

Thomas nodded sternly, "I understand."

In this way, Ron and his party set off, and under the watchful eyes of everyone, the carriage quickly disappeared at the end of the road.

The king's capital is in the northwest of Arnold's territory, and he will pass through 7 or 8 territories on the way. Joseph, the experienced driver, speculates that it will take about ten days to get there.

The three-month deadline is completely in time.

After walking for more than half an hour, there was no scenery along the way, and the road did not pass through the wasteland, and there were no hardworking laborers. Ron lowered the curtains boringly, and his eyes fell on the carriage. On the other person besides - the accompanying maid.

About 21 or [-] years old, petite, with good features.

Her long orange hair was tied neatly behind her head, and her dark green eyes seemed to contain thousands of words, which were very agile.

Apart from the pair of eyes, Ron couldn't notice anything else.

This reminded him of Joyce, the girl in front of him was a completely opposite type to her.

Joyce was indifferent by nature, and his words and deeds were very rational.

And the one in front of him gave Ron the first impression that he did things with sensibility and a rich heart. People like this are the most suitable artists.

Because the world in their eyes is different from ordinary people, they will add their emotions to the scenery they see.

He had seen the entourage list submitted by Diana, and the name of the maid in front of him was Veronica.

"Your paintings are very good and vivid. Melittoia's teaching textbook, you have a lot of credit." Ron thought of her. He checked Veronica's character card a long time ago, but he didn't Paying too much attention to her is just to verify her ability.

The textbook combined with pictures and texts this time was also helped by Veronica, and Ron felt that as the lord, it was necessary to praise this matter.

Hearing this, Veronica was excited inside, and she pretended to be reserved on the surface with a smile and said: "Thank you Lord Lord for your praise, I still need to work harder to draw better works."

Ron nodded, "With talent and hard work, you will surely realize your dreams."

"Thank you Lord Lord for your blessing." Veronica sat upright, behaved well, and was a qualified maid.

This made Ron wonder if he had misread it.

"What type of painting do you usually paint? What do you like to paint? Landscape? Figures?"

Ron asked again, this journey is far away, and he will spend most of the time in the carriage with the other party, it is impossible not to say a word, now he can do some understanding first.

Hearing Ron's question, Veronica's pupils trembled, her throat seemed to be stuck, and she stammered, "Ah, uh, it's the usual kind. I still draw more people, right?"

Feeling embarrassed, Ron smiled, "Portraits are very difficult to draw. A good painting is one that has both spirit and form. Show me your paintings when you have time."

"Good, good."

Afterwards, Ron and Veronica chatted about painting.Although he is not good at painting, he still has his own understanding in some places. Some viewpoints have a deeper feeling for Veronica, and more inspirations are associated.

Chatting and chatting, Ron found that Veronica's favorability for him was rising little by little, and soon broke through to 70.

[Favourability degree: 70 (confidant)]

However, what is going on with this confidant?

Ron glanced at Veronica in a strange way. Among the people around him, the relationship between this 'confidant' was very abrupt.

The two were chatting about painting in the car, and the carriage drove all the way out of Arnold's territory, and it was not yet noon.

Thomas rode up to keep up with the carriage from behind and kept the same speed, and shouted towards the window: "My lord, we have now crossed the border of Arnold's territory, and going forward is the territory of Viscount Fast, but we have to go through a The woods, this is the only main road, which is quite close to the Viscount Gordon."

In the carriage, Ron responded with an 'um'.

After finishing the report, Thomas returned to his original position and continued to maintain formation with the rest of the guard knights.

Continued like this for a few ten minutes, and a small forest appeared in view. Not long after entering the forest, Thomas frowned. Experience told him that something was wrong, and he immediately ordered the rest to be vigilant.

call out!call out!
At this moment, several crossbow arrows flew out from the hidden woods and headed towards the carriage.

Thomas glared and shouted, "Protect the lord!"

Clang!

Seeger's eyes turned cold, he jumped up from the horse, and split multiple crossbow arrows with a sword in his hand. Despite his strength, two crossbow arrows shot through the carriage.

Seeger and the others gathered around the carriage, staring at the depths of the woods, guarding against the enemies in the dark.

Thomas anxiously shouted into the carriage: "My lord, are you alright?"

Inside the carriage.

Ron let go of the frightened Veronica. If it wasn't for his protection just now, the consequences would have been disastrous.Glancing at the two crossbow arrows that fell on the floor of the carriage, he said in a low voice, "I'm fine, just concentrate on fighting the enemy."

At this moment, his face was very gloomy, and on the brooch on his chest, the two leaf veins gradually dimmed.The two crossbow arrows just now did not escape, but were blocked by the defensive shield activated by the brooch.

The brooch has 24 veins, which can defend against 24 attacks independently, and now there are 22 left.

With cold eyes, Ron touched the red diamond ring on his index finger with his right hand, and sat in the carriage waiting for the enemy to show up.

This time, he will make the other party pay a heavy price!
"Who is it? Get out!" Seeger leaned on the carriage and yelled into the woods.

As Sig's voice fell, a group of people in black robes and hoods came out of the woods. They held weapons and exuded a strong smell of blood. One of them's weapons was a hand crossbow. Obviously, he was the one who made a surprise attack just now.

Thomas looked dignified, and whispered to his companion: "Twelve people, it's hard to deal with. Sig, pay attention to the one in the front, I judge that he is the same as you at the second level!"

The leader was two meters tall and carried a machete. He exuded a fierce aura and was very difficult to deal with.

He stood at the front, plunged the machete into the ground, and said loudly, "After waiting for you for two months, I finally let me wait."

Hearing this, everyone felt heavy. A thought flashed through Thomas' mind, and he immediately asked, "Are you black crows?"

"Hey, boss, I didn't expect us to be so famous, even people in the remote border know our name." One of them sneered.

The tall man at the head snorted and said, "Don't waste time, the employer is waiting for news from us."

"You are the boss, listen to you."

The tall man gave the order and stood still with the two people beside him, not intending to join the battle. The other nine members of Black Crow surrounded the carriage, looking like they would kill them all.

Thomas whispered to Sig: "They are too many to fight head-on. The most important thing is to protect the safety of the lord. I will create an opportunity in a while, and you will protect the lord from trouble."

As he spoke, he cast his eyes on the three remaining Black Crows not far away. From the three of them, Thomas felt the pressure of facing Captain Abel!

Is it?

Thinking of a guess, Thomas' heart sank to the bottom.

Sig nodded. He also knew that the situation was urgent, and protecting the lord was the most important thing.

"on!"

Thomas yelled, and rushed to the enemy first. Every time he swung his sword, he was desperate. Under such circumstances, even if the opponent had many people, he was intimidated by his aura and dared not step forward.

Seeger and others followed closely behind, each of them showing a fearless look on their faces, and blocked the other 12 people for a while.

Although the desired effect appeared, the knights were already covered with scars, especially Sig, who had resisted the four enemies, was the most injured, and the previous wave of confrontation did not gain the upper hand.

"I didn't expect you to be a Tier [-] knight. You can't get any information about those trash."

The boss of the black crow snorted coldly, stared at Sig firmly, and suddenly burst out with stronger power, his aura surpassed that of Sig, just as Thomas expected, the boss of the black crow was also a second-order transcendent.

He wants to do it himself!

At this time, a person next to the black crow boss rushed into the battlefield with a heavy hammer and threw it at Thomas, who was the most imposing.

boom! ! !
Thomas was fighting against the enemy, when he was suddenly attacked by a sneak attack, and he flew upside down and hit the wheel of the carriage. Regardless of his injury, he reminded: "They have three second-orders, run!"

3 second grades, 9 first grades!
On the other hand, on my own side, only Seeger is at the second level, and the other five are at the first level.

A desperate power gap.

Sig gritted his teeth, his body exuded a mist like blood, his eyes were bloodshot, and a large mouthful of blood flowed from the corner of his mouth. He stared at the front, clenched the sword in his hand and roared: "I, Sig, is the Guardian Knight! Back off!"

blah blah.

At this time, a figure appeared on the carriage in front of everyone's eyes, his cold eyes looked around, and finally fell on the scarred knight beside him.

"Lord, why did you come out?" Thomas was very anxious.

"If I don't come out, you're going to die." Ron said indifferently, as if he didn't pay attention to the black crow in front of him.

"This kid is not dead, you missed." The black crow boss was surprised, and said to the person who fired the crossbow.

The crossbow arrows fired before were not that simple. They were attached with the grudge of a second-level hunter, which could easily penetrate hard rocks.

"Humph."

The man snorted displeasedly, and raised his hand to shoot Ron again.

At the scene in front of them, the hearts of all the knights tensed up, and they reacted one after another. Seager and Thomas used their bodies to block the front, but something happened in the next second that they could not forget.

Ron raised his right hand and pointed his index finger at the man. Immediately, the surrounding light dimmed, and everyone's eyes went dark, as if they were deprived of their sight, as if they had fallen into a place of no light.

Immediately afterwards, they saw a bunch of finger-thick red lights flickering, appearing in an instant and then disappearing quickly, making it too late for people to react.

thump.

Hearing the sound and looking at it, the crossbow archer fell on his back, still maintaining his shooting posture.

Seeing this, everyone's heart trembled, what happened just now?
"What, what's going on?"

The Black Crow and his group were in a panic, and Thomas and the others were even more confused.

The black crow boss looked at his fallen companion, a finger-thick hole appeared on his forehead, and his expression didn't change after he died, showing that there was no time to react.

What kind of attack didn't even have time for the second-tier hunter to react, his heart was chilled, and a bad feeling came to his heart.

The boss of the black crow tentatively said: "I didn't expect a small country baron to have a powerful magic item. It must have cost a lot of gold coins to buy that thing."

Ron looked indifferently, ignored the other party's temptation, looked down at the remaining 11 members of the Black Crow gang, and said, "If you tell me who the employer is, I can make your death less painful."

Hearing this, the black crow boss sneered, "Although I don't know what tricks you used, I don't believe you can still launch the attack just now!"

Any magic item has to pay a price if it wants to activate it, the more powerful the magic item, the greater the price.

"You go to me and kill him." The black crow boss ordered his subordinates in a cold tone.

He didn't believe that the little baron in front of him could kill all of them with unknown magic items!

"You can try."

Ron pointed his finger at the black crow boss, who was shocked and raised his machete to block himself.

In the next second, the surrounding light dimmed again for a moment, and this time it was the boss of the black crow who was taken away, and the machete pierced through it instantly.

"Boss was killed!"

The rest of Black Crow shuddered, looking at Ron like a demon.They are not afraid of death, but it is really frightening to die in vain without knowing the means used by the other party.

Thomas and Seeger looked at each other, and they both saw horror in each other's eyes. That person is a second-tier man!
just die?
"Anyone of you who still has doubts can come and try. If not, then tell me who the employer is!" Ron stood on the carriage, looking down, with a lofty posture that made people dare not defy.

but.

The last second-order transcendent in the black crow gritted his teeth and shouted: "Fight with him!"

The remaining 10 people rushed forward, killing Ron with fierce eyes, completely forgetting about death.

Ron was very surprised by their choice. In their hearts, reputation has surpassed their own lives?
"Hmph, the mantis is like a cart."

In just one second, the knights were deprived of their sight. This time the 'blindness' lasted longer than the previous two times. When they saw the light again, there was a corpse lying on the ground in front of them. The closest one to the carriage was only 5 meters away. There is not even a chance of touching the carriage.

Sig's mouth was dry, his hands and feet were weak, he looked blankly at Ron in the carriage, and said, "My lord, that was just now"

"It's just a magic tool passed down from the ancestors. This time it consumed a lot of energy, and it won't be used many times." Ron had already thought of the reason and said casually.

Afterwards, everyone rested on the spot, and the injuries on the knights had to be treated.Fortunately, their physical fitness is far superior to that of ordinary people, and they can recover to normal after a period of recuperation.

After treating the wound, Thomas and the knights found an open place and burned a group of members of the Black Crow gang, and reported to Ron: "My lord, it has been treated. I checked and they should be mercenaries on the battlefield. Desperadoes who will work for their money if they are given money."

mercenary?
What a good way to pick himself up, Ron understood the other party's method.

"Changing the road, go to the Viscount Gordon." Ron said indifferently, and then entered the carriage.

A group of people headed towards Viscount Gordon.
