As soon as these words came out, Master Baron, who had been sitting opposite Romon, waiting for the answer, suddenly showed a smile on his long and thin face.
"Okay, okay, okay." He even said three good words in a row, which was enough to show that Baron was in a good mood at this time.
"Romon, you are indeed a person who sincerely serves the town. I really did not misjudge you. I can only rest assured if you handle this kind of thing, hahaha. Don't worry, as long as the forest map can be drawn well, I will definitely fulfill my promise today and give you a piece of land for the retinue."
Seeing that the other party successfully took the bait, Baron was so happy that he unexpectedly discovered that the boy who originally annoyed him at first sight turned out to be a bit pleasing to his eyes upon closer inspection.
The young man standing opposite him secretly twitched his lips after hearing his compliments. On the surface, he maintained a respectful expression, but in his heart, Romon had already scolded him to pieces.
Although the other party praised him very highly from the beginning, Romon was not a person who would get dizzy after being praised even a few words. What's more, Romon had already seen it when Baron said what he just said. This lord, it seems, is not very friendly to him.
Although Baron concealed his expression very well, as a Second-Level Druid, Romon had clearly sensed it.
However, Romon decided to accept this task. Draw the map of Thorn Forest.
In fact, Romon thought a lot before making this decision. Part of the reason why he finally agreed to Baron's proposal was that he was forced by the situation.
Furthermore, this Squire Fief is very exciting. Free Citizen generally has dozens of acres of land, and the retinue only has two to three hundred acres. Although the acres are not many, it is close to the aristocratic privileged class. If it were in ancient times on earth, it would be equivalent to being a scholar!
The third reason is that Romon has encountered a bottleneck in martial arts practice. Through training, it has been difficult to make further progress.
Fafier's situation is similar to his. After gaining the strength of Second-Level Warrior, although he practiced harder, his progress in martial arts has become slower and slower. In recent days, not only has he not improved, but he has shown signs of stagnating in martial arts.
This situation not only makes Fafier, who vowed to become a great warrior, depressed, but Romon is also very depressed.
And I heard people say that only by experiencing real fighting can one's martial arts skills be truly trained.
Because of this, it was only a matter of time for Romon to enter the depths of Thorn Forest. Since Baron asked him to go this time, he simply regarded this experience as a training of martial arts.
Perhaps after returning, his martial arts skills will be improved. What's more, his combat effectiveness at this time is not as weak as outsiders see.
Moreover, since Baron has become malicious towards him, then, even if he does not agree to this matter, who knows what other things the other party will come up with. Taking a step back, even if all the above reasons are not true, the conditions proposed by the other party are enough for him to give it a try.
Draw a map, and after the matter is over, you can get a piece of land of your own. Land, this is what Romon urgently needs at the moment, so for this condition, he has to give it a try.
"Romon, this is the contract for the mission. There are three copies. One of them is for you, one will be kept with me, and the other will be temporarily stored in Temple. Since you have accepted this mission, just sign it." Seeing Romon agree, Baron was happy and did not forget to take out the contract prepared in advance.
This kind of contract is an agreement that must be signed on this continent when someone accepts a task. It is mainly to restrict the behavior of the party accepting the task. After all, if there are no restrictions, if someone accepts the task but fails to complete it, it will often cause losses to the party issuing the task.
However, on the other hand, it also rationalized and legalized the task. Romon really intended to go to the forest, so he naturally signed his name on the contract without hesitation. As the party issuing the task, Baron's big seal had already been printed on it.
Seeing Baron ordering someone to send one of the contracts to Temple, Romon also stood up to say goodbye. Then, holding a contract, he walked out under the leadership of the guard who brought him here.
Seeing Romon's figure gradually disappear from sight, a smile suddenly appeared on Master Baron's face. Then, in a very good mood, he ordered his servants to prepare a sumptuous meal.
Today, he was going to celebrate. He was so smart and could come up with such a perfect solution, which not only solved his daughter's problem, but also made it impossible for anyone to find fault with it.
Baron The more I think about it, the more proud I become.
After taking the contract, Romon left the castle and walked towards the town while thinking about who to form a team with. He definitely couldn't go alone. Although he now has the strength of First-Level Warrior, he may encounter any dangers when entering the depths of Thorn Forest. Just one First-Level Warrior is not enough to fill the teeth of Warcraft.
If you form a team with adventurers, as Baron said just now, because he is Druid and has the ability to heal wounds, adventurers will definitely welcome him to join.
However, working with unfamiliar people is not Romon's style. In that kind of dangerous environment, fighting side by side with a group of people who don't understand each other is a scary thing no matter how you think about it.
Therefore, after much thought, Romon set his target on Haiwavi Squad, who was relatively familiar with him.
The captain of Haiwavi Squad has a good relationship with him, he is also generous and righteous, and he has saved people in the team, so working with them should be a good choice.
Thinking of this, Romon sped up. Although the contract signed with Baron stipulated that it would last for one year, except for the cold winter and the heavy rain in the summer, there was not much time available in this year.
Soon, Rika Town's commercial area appeared in front of him. Romon first went back to the pharmacy to take a look. Seeing that business was going on as usual and everything was arranged in an orderly manner by Nick, he walked out with peace of mind.
Along the narrow street of Rika Town, he planned to go to Motte Inn to see if the people from Haiwavi Squad were there. Half a month ago, Haiwavi Squad entered the forest. If he didn't go too far, he should be able to come back.
As it happened, he had just taken a few steps when he was called back by a member of Haiwavi Squad who came to the pharmacy to seek medical treatment. When he returned to the pharmacy, he discovered that in the lobby of the store, the captain of Haiwavi Squad was sitting on a chair in the store with a pale face.
The appearance of Romon made the eyes of other team members surrounding the captain suddenly brighten, and they hurriedly introduced the situation to Romon.
It turned out that this time they were planning to go deep into the forest. Unexpectedly, on the way, Haiwavi, the captain, was suddenly bitten by a poisonous insect. Although they all carried healing medicine with them, it was of no use in treating the poison. There was no other way, so the group had no choice but to rush out of the forest with the captain and come here for treatment.
Because the journey back and forth was not short, although some members of the team used some unorthodox methods to temporarily suppress the spread of the insect poison, Captain Haiwavi was still half-dead when he returned to the town.
Because there are always poisonous insect stings on the earth, after opening the pharmacy, Romon actually did some research on this in his free time. Seeing that Captain Haiwavi was just bitten by ordinary poisonous insects, and his current weakness is only due to the delay in treatment, so Romon is not very worried after that.
Sure enough, after some treatment by him, the person who was half-dead just now suddenly became lively and jumping again.
"Romon, I'm lucky to have you." He smiled and patted Romon on the shoulder. Captain Haiwavi generously took out a small bag of silver coins and handed them directly to Romon without even looking at how many there were.
Romon did not answer this time. Seeing Captain Haiwavi looking at him in confusion, he explained, "Captain Haiwavi, please take the money back. I just have something to ask you." Then he said that he wanted to go into the forest with Haiwavi Squad in order to complete Baron's mission.
After hearing what Romon said, the people at Haiwavi Squad were startled at first, and then cheered.
"Romon, is this true? That's great! We welcome you!" Captain Haiwavi was overjoyed after being surprised. Failure to receive timely treatment is a problem that many adventurers will encounter when entering the depths of the forest. As a result, countless adventurers have lost their lives or failed their missions.
For their part, this time they were about to reach the depths of the forest. It was because he was injured by poisonous insects and lacked timely treatment that the mission ended with the entire team retreating.
After all, as the soul of a team, without the command of the captain, the others will not be able to play any important role if they continue to stay there.
And if there is a Druid who goes into the forest with the team, then it will be a huge help to them.
Romon This is not asking for help. He is clearly here to help in times of need.
The other team members who had the same idea as Captain Haiwavi looked at Romon with very warm eyes. Several people who had been healed by Romon even shouted words of welcome.
Finally, at the insistence of Captain Haiwavi, Romon accepted the bag of treatment fees. The two parties agreed to set off into the forest three days later, but before that, Romon needed to prepare all the materials for drawing the map.
