Chapter 4 No Money, Item Cards
Elva's departure did not bring waves to the Baron's Mansion.

Ron was handling the official duties on the territory in the study as usual, while Irene was waiting on him, staring at Ron expectantly, hoping that the young master could chat with her.

There are very few entertainment methods in this rural territory, and the maids who have stayed in the mansion for a long time just talk and chat to relieve boredom.

"The problem in Assam Village has been solved, but the sudden appearance of thieves in this territory is a hidden danger and cannot be left alone."

After consulting past official documents and combining the experience of his previous life in his mind, Ron finally solved half of the remaining problems.

In the end, there is no accurate information about the group of thieves who caused trouble in the territory.

"After all, the communication is still underdeveloped. When the witnesses reported the news, the gang of thieves had already left."

There was nothing Ron could do about it.

"Eileen."

"Master, what are your orders!" Irene looked delighted, she had been bored for a long time, the young master had been working and didn't talk to her, and she couldn't disturb the young master's business.

Ron looked at her strange look, and said, "Call Egbert over here, I want to see a map of the entire territory."

Irene left the room with a disappointed face, and after a while, Egbert came in with a roll of maps.

Egbert opened the map, laid it flat on the table, and said, "My lord, this is the whole map of Arnold's territory. If you have any questions, just ask me."

Ron nodded and looked at the map.

The entire map is oval-shaped, with the west one-fifth area covered by three towns and the baron's mansion, and the remaining four-fifths to the east are forests and mountains.

Looking at the map, Ron looked puzzled. What's the point of such a distribution?Caring for the natural environment and advocating the harmonious coexistence of man and nature?

Egbert said: "If you count the entire territory of the territory, the scope of Arnold's territory is completely comparable to that of the Earl's territory, but in terms of the scope of activities of the subjects, it is the bottom of the Carlo Kingdom."

Ron looked at him, and Egbert pointed to the large forest on the map, and said, "Look, Lord, this forest is called Black Valley Forest, and there are countless beasts inhabiting it. Because of the complex terrain, Even experienced hunters dare not go deep. Moreover, on the other side of the Black Valley forest is the territory of Earl Claude, who is the earl of the Alexander Empire. There are still doubts about the division of the Black Valley forest. It is a historical issue between the Olivia Empire and the Alexander Empire."

Egbert made things very clear, and Ron understood in his heart that the water was very deep anyway.

But it's annoying to leave such a large piece of land unused.

If it is developed for farming, how much output will there be in a year? Ron decided to mobilize the leaders to cut down trees and open up wasteland!
But one problem after another appeared in front of him. First, there was a shortage of manpower. There were less than 3 people in the entire territory; no money.
There are still many details in the back, and one mistake will cause the collapse of the territorial rule.

In the end, Ron put the thought out for a moment.

It's only temporary, it's not justified not to plant something on such a large piece of land.

How to develop it made Ron worry. His own territory is located in a remote place, and few outsiders enter it. Even those traveling merchants are reluctant to come here because they can't make money.

The land is scarce, so there is little food that can be grown, and the things that can be sold are either cheap or not.

After Egbert learned some things about the territory, he was let go to work.

After thinking about it for a long time, Ron couldn't think of a way to make the territory rich. He looked at Irene and said, "Irene, I have a question for you. Answer me truthfully."

Irene looked pleasantly surprised, and immediately said: "Master, you ask!"

"Whether there are any special products in Arnold's territory, we have them. What other people don't have, ingredients and products are fine." Ron was afraid that Irene would not understand the meaning of 'special products', so he explained.

"We have, no one else?"

Irene's eyes lit up, and she quickly replied: "Stone! Master, we have stones here!"

Hearing this, Ron showed a smile on his face, stood up, and patted her small head twice with his hand, "It's good that you can have a childlike innocence, keep it up."

After saying this, Ron walked out of the study.

Afterwards, Ron realized that he was the one who was stupid.

-

Rarely had free time, Ron took a walk in the backyard of the mansion, due to the lack of entertainment, this was the only way to pass the time.

He thought it would be good to brush up the entries to relieve boredom, but there was only one vacancy in his body, which was the golden immortality. If it was gone, Ron would cry to death.

Brushing entries for other people, he never thought about it, it is prone to accidents.

So for so many days, Ron hasn't used his ability, at most he only looks at other people's character cards, what kind of entries they have, or how much they like him.

It is worth mentioning that the favorability of the maids in the mansion is between 60-70, and Irene's highest is 80 (respect).

Egbert's favorability score is 85 (trust), and he also has a green management entry, no wonder the territory is managed in an orderly manner.

Through comparison, Ron found that the relationship expressed by the same degree of favorability was different. He thought about it and found that it was indeed the case.

As for Abel Guy's character card, Ron didn't read it. The two rarely had the opportunity to contact directly, so they didn't know.

Not everyone has entry attributes, and most of the maids working in the mansion do not have entry attributes.

From another point of view, Ron thinks that vocabulary is like an innate talent, some people are smart, and some people are dull.

"Oh, there are too few talents."

With a sigh of emotion, Ron walked to the only big tree in the yard. This tree was so thick that it took four knights to hold hands to surround it, but it was not high, only a little over three meters.

Its leaves are oval in shape, showing a sense of smoothness. In summer, the leaves will turn from green to pink, and golden pink flowers will bloom.

Mirakel, the name of the tree, translates to Miracle.

According to Irene's gossip, Arnold's first ancestor was an ordinary soldier. When he was about to die of thirst on the battlefield, it was the dew on this tree that saved him. It has been more than 100 years since the tree was transplanted here.

The coat of arms of the Arnold family is in the shape of this Miracle tree.

Ron's thoughts drifted away, and he couldn't help reaching out to touch the trunk. Such a big tree had never been seen before, and he didn't know how long it could live.

Thinking of this, the next moment, a screen appeared in front of Ron's eyes.

Ok?
He was surprised for a moment, and then took it for granted that there must be character cards, so there must be item cards. Ron quickly made a definition, and then carefully looked at Mirakel's information.

The item card is different from the character card, and there is no silver star logo. Correspondingly, the entire card is green, and it is still unclear why.

【Mirakel】

[Picture (full body photo)]

【Entry 1: Draw (green)】

【Entry 2: Feedback (green)】

[Drain: The strong and developed roots take root in the earth to absorb nutrients for themselves, the roots are not broken, and the body is not dead]

[Feedback: Every once in a while, Mirakel will overflow her own essence to feed back to the earth]

-

Why can this tree have two entries?

That was the first thought that came to Ron's mind.

"And there are still two green entries. People are not as good as trees these days?" Ron muttered to himself. He looked at the second entry of Mira tree, "every once in a while" here should be the one that blooms in summer. some time.

The environment of the mansion is indeed better than the outside, perhaps because of this entry of [Backfeeding].

Withdrawing his hand, Ron glanced at the surrounding ground and picked up a piece of gravel. This time the item card was white, and he immediately understood the rules of the item card.

【Ordinary stone】

【Entry 1: (empty)】

-

Seeing the empty column for the entry, Ron suddenly came to his mind, and had to play with the entry.

With a thought, a blue light flashed, and a new entry appeared.

"I'll go, it will come out as soon as I send it?" Ron was pleasantly surprised. Although the blue entries are not as rare as purple and gold, they are also a color that is difficult to brush.

"Let me see what attributes it is."

[My heart is like iron (blue): The outer shell is extremely hard, it is difficult to temper it with ordinary forging methods, and the inside is comparable to a meteorite from outside the sky, a treasure-level forging material]

"I'll go to your uncle!"

After reading the attributes, Ron cursed and smashed the stone in his hand to the ground, and a pothole appeared.

Three seconds later, Ron dug out the stone and continued to read entries.

-

into the night.

On the small balcony of the baron's bedroom, Ron was wearing a loose nightgown, lying comfortably on the armchair, holding warm black tea in one hand, and a simple silver ring in the other. The bright moonlight was shining and reflected in the tea.

The wind at night is slightly cool.

Ron stared at the void in front of his eyes, and sighed deeply. He took this silver ring from the treasure house of the baron's mansion, and it was only of white quality, that is, there was only one item that could be used.

However, from after dinner until now, he still hasn't found any entries that satisfy him.

As for the previous stone?
Accidentally brushed out the [powder] entry, self-destructed.
However, it was not fruitless. Ron found that the entries of 'item card' would follow a principle, and most of them would be entries related to item characteristics.

Just like the stones before, the entries that Ron brushed up were all related to minerals, and it wasn't until the end that they self-destructed and turned into powder.

When the entry is refreshed, the attributes of the original entry will disappear and return to the original state.

But stones that have turned into powder cannot be used for entries.

Ron drank the lipstick tea, which tasted sweet and moist, which was very in line with the taste of the nobility. He nodded in satisfaction, and continued to brush the entries with the ring in his hand.

For the next few days, the ring never left Ron's side, and he kept it on his hand until Egbert sent him a message.

"My lord, the preparations for the audience at the royal capital have been completed. When are you going to leave, I can arrange people to make plans for accompanying you." Egbert said respectfully.

A lord traveling far away will inevitably encounter robbers and other accidents on the way. Ron nodded in understanding and said, "You can make arrangements, the sooner the better."

He was very excited. For Ron, this was not only a legal inheritance of the baronship, but also a trip to another world.

Of course, he also wanted to see the prosperity of the capital and see if he could make his territory rich.

"It would be great if we reached a cooperation deal with the nobles of the royal capital." Ron thought beautifully.

Time passed quickly, and this day was the day when Ron was about to leave for the capital.

Egbert prepared two carriages, accompanied by four maids, to take care of the lord on the road, and Irene was naturally among them.

There are also six guardian knights to protect the lord's travel.

Steward Egbert needs to handle the government affairs of the territory and cannot be together.As the captain of the Cavaliers, Abel should accompany him, but Ron rejected his request and gave him a task severely.

"Abel, before I come back, you must deal with the rampant thieves in the territory!"

"Guaranteed to complete the task!" Abel also made up his mind.

After arranging the affairs of the territory, Ron was about to get into the carriage when he saw Irene who was nervous and said, "Why are you in a daze, get into the carriage."

As a child, I am nervous when I go out for the first time, and I understand.When you arrive at the capital, you will forget about your anxiety when you broaden your horizons.

Hearing this, Irene said: "My lord, is it true that you don't want Uncle Abel to come with you? Or hire adventurers and magicians. I heard that you have to pass through to go to the king."

"and many more!"

Ron immediately took his foot back from stepping on the pedal, interrupted Irene with a serious expression, and asked, "Irene, did you just say adventurers and magicians?"

"Yes, my lord, what's the matter?" Irene became more nervous, afraid that she might have said something wrong.

Ignoring her, Ron turned to Egbert and said, "The date to go to the capital will be set at another time."

After finishing speaking, he walked quickly into the baron's mansion without looking back.
