Mysterious Catastrophe - Chapter 29

[Chapter 29 Gifts]

The hot summer comes suddenly.

After a heavy rain, Aaron looked at the dark red potion in his hand and was a little dazed: “Finally… it worked.”

After an unknown number of failures, he finally succeeded in creating a potion. Using it slowly and exercising should be beneficial to a strong body.

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

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

“What did I spend so much time and energy doing?”

Aaron felt a little frustrated.

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

After thinking for a while, he pulled out the dagger and gave himself a simple hair shave. Then he called Dai Li and took a good bath.

“Let the maester come here!”

After taking a bath and tidying up, Aaron, who was refreshed and full of energy, called Albert, the territorial scholar.

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

Aaron asked casually.

“Blessed by the emerald grandmother, everything is peaceful in the territory, but there are some bad rumors in the prison, and some people are afraid that your sentence is too heavy…”

Albert’s fat face was a little uneasy.

“it’s necessary.”

Aaron didn’t give an explanation at all. Could it be said that in order to obtain enough test items, he must be sentenced again?

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

After thinking for a while, he looked at Albert’s graying hair, and was relieved.

“Your kindness is as bright as the stars!”

Albert hurriedly bowed and saluted: “Besides, your birthday is approaching, Sotos Castle has already delivered gifts…”

Aaron was stunned. He was born in the summer, a night of lightning and thunder, but he didn’t celebrate his birthday much when he was older, and he almost ignored it.

Unexpectedly, after becoming a lord, he was taken seriously again.

It’s a little ironic, I have to say.

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

“According to the customs of the Green Forest, once family members become independent, their relationship with their original relatives will no longer be close…” Albert wiped the cold sweat from his face.

For some reason, he always felt that the majesty of the master he served was almost comparable to that of Earl Green Forest himself.

“However… this is your first birthday after being appointed a knight. Perhaps, returning to the castle is also an option.”

He suggested tactfully: “Besides, Mrs. Sylvie is about to give birth, and you need to prepare a gift.”

“This is…”

Aaron nodded and suddenly smiled: “I really should go back to the castle to see. Just in time, the first batch of spring wheat is ripe and can be used as a gift.”

…

a few days later.

A convoy slowly drove to the town outside Sotosburg.

It was a horse-drawn carriage at first, followed by many wagons, with bags of wheat on the wagons, exuding an attractive fragrance.

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

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

With the strengthening of each dream in these days, although his conscious body in the dream has not awakened other abilities, the ability of [Danger Perception] seems to have increased.

Intuition has become more and more keen, and it is indeed beginning to develop in the direction of ‘dream divination’.

“Am I too suspicious?”

After sending a guard to inform him, Aaron looked at the huge wooden door of the castle and couldn’t help thinking to himself.

It didn’t take long for the castle gate to open with a bang, and Theodore in a wolf fur coat greeted him personally: “Our wanderer finally knows how to return home?”

“Salute to you!”

Aaron bowed first, then pointed to the trolley behind: “I brought the latest harvest from the territory, I hope you like this gift.”

“This spring wheat…”

Theodore stepped forward, took out a dagger, and pierced a pocket at will, feeling the full vitality of the flowing wheat, and couldn’t help moving: “This is… a good variety, a ram in your territory. How much is the output?”

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

“Roughly around 1,500 pounds…”

Aaron replied with a smile, this can’t be hidden from others anyway, not to mention that his own people are bragging all day, just go to a passerby to look at the property, and you can roughly estimate it.

“hiss……”

He immediately heard Theodore gasping for air: “So much? Then your current territory can earn 1,000 nars at a time…”

Green Forest has no local currency, and Gnar is also a currency unit passed down from the Kagash Kingdom.

“Actually not so much, because I split the account with the farmers 55 to 50, and the grain needs to be stored, so I can’t sell it all to the merchants… So it’s not bad to have 200 nars.”

Aaron shook his head.

“Five or five points? You are too kind…” Theodore frowned instinctively: “This is not in line with your previous strict laws.”

“I think kindness and sternness are like the two wheels of a carriage. No matter which one is missing, it cannot effectively make the subjects surrender…”

Aaron said: “On the one hand, I give them a full stomach, and on the other hand, I also need severe punishment, so that they will not dare to violate my laws.”

This is actually bullshit, he is just making an excuse for himself to find a test object.

As for the land rent, 50% is already very scary…

Theodore tried to say something, but it turned into a sigh: “Well, do as you like, after all, that’s your domain. Come with me!”

He took Aaron and walked into the huge castle: “You came just right, thanks to the blessing of the old grandmother, Sylvie just gave birth to a baby boy, our castle will hold two happy events in a row, I think …you can hold a tournament to celebrate.”

Green forest atmosphere is full of savage and primitive side.

For example, when encountering a grand celebration, he likes to use gladiatorial fights and other means to add to the fun.

Later, with the influence of the civilization of the Kagash Kingdom, it became a more regular tournament.

Often the winner will get rich rewards. It is said that in the kingdom of Kagash, the champion will be canonized as a knight, and may even be given a territory.

But in the green forest, this is impossible, at most a warrior’s title, plus a lot of money.

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

“Where’s Colin?”

Theodore looked around, a little dissatisfied.

“Master is in the delivery room…”

The old scholar bowed: “Mrs. Silvi is in poor condition after giving birth, I am afraid… I am afraid that she will be summoned by the gods…”
