When Maz and Rick had ropes tied around their necks and the wooden planks under their feet were hollow, and their bodies were still reflexively doing tap dance-like movements in the air, Fang Yuan had already taken his inheritance documents and sold them all. He exchanged his family property for a horse, a piece of cloth armor, and a rusty sword, and embarked on the road to Shawshank.
Of course he had no intention of visiting Baron Blue Moon. After all, let’s not talk about whether the other party has evil intentions. In his current status, he is still a small free citizen. Before he became a knight, he was not qualified to be a guest in the baron’s castle.
"It's not too far from Baron Blue Moon's territory to Shawshank territory. It's almost a two-day journey..."
Fang Yuan was riding on the horse, his eyes seemed to be narrowed but not narrowed.
With his current appearance, he looked like a lone adventurer, with few people daring to cause trouble.
"Many of the extraordinary beings in this world will register in big cities and become registered adventurers."
There are many benefits to becoming an adventurer. The first is that you can travel freely in principalities and kingdoms and receive hospitality from the local adventurer guild.
The second is to accept tasks through guild channels and receive generous rewards.
Of course, the requirements for real adventurer certification are actually very demanding. First, you must have the qualifications of a free citizen, and then you must pass a series of tests to prove your ability.
Basically, those who can become adventurers are at least senior warriors with unique skills and skills.
If Luen had not already had a knighthood to inherit, Fang Yuan's first choice might have been to become an adventurer.
As the horse advances, the shady green trees on both sides quickly recede, and occasionally the dark shadows of small animals flash past, presenting a completely original natural scene.
"Even if you are an official, you have cultivated this virtue. This shows how low the productivity of the Principality of Stan is..."
Fang Yuan looked at the vaguely discernible traces of the road and couldn't help but shake his head slightly, feeling a little abnormal and gloomy in this world.
Those extraordinary beings, as well as nobles and priests, can use their extraordinary power to achieve extreme luxury, but the common people at the bottom are still like serfs, struggling on the land, and even a year of hard work may not be able to fill their stomachs.
Many people may have never eaten white bread in their entire lives.
Even the sweet gift from nature, honey, is only a tribute to the lord.
Moreover, the chances of getting ahead are very few!
Even the most ordinary warrior training is not accessible to the sons of serfs, not to mention the large amounts of food and meat, as well as weapons and armor that need to be consumed.
As a result, the upper class firmly controlled the power, and because of the existence of extraordinary power, one knight could suppress the rebellion of hundreds of serfs. The people at the bottom really had no hope of turning around.
In fact, due to the devouring of plane fragments, it can also be understood as a dividend from foreign wars. This world is even continuing to expand!
"If it continues to develop, even if it is upgraded, it will still be a deformity!"
Fang Yuan sighed secretly. At noon, a small village appeared in front of him. There was a fence around the outside and several militia-like people patrolling it.
This is also a characteristic of this world. Because extraordinary powers are active, beasts and monsters in the wild are also very active. In order to ensure safety, city walls and guards are necessities. Especially in such a small village, one may be attacked if not careful. extinct.
Because of this, the common people in this world yearn for life in big cities.
It not only represents excellent living conditions, but the most important thing is safety guarantee.
"Adventurer?!"
Seeing Fang Yuan dismount and move forward, the militiamen who had maintained a relaxed appearance immediately became a little wary.
"No! I'm just a traveler who wants to stay in your village for one night!"
Adventurers have unique adventure proofs. Although Fang Yuan is not unable to imitate, he must at least have an original.
Obviously, with Lu En's previous status, he had not been able to come into contact with such things.
"So... foreigners, Kahn Village is a warm and hospitable village. There is a firewood house that you can rent for a night for free, but be careful and don't cause trouble, otherwise you won't want that end!"
At this time, a man who looked like a police officer came over.
He looked to be only in his forties, tall and covered with scars, like a weathered warrior. His hawk-like eyes looked back and forth at Fang Yuan's horse and iron sword, and finally nodded and issued a warning.
"no problem!"
Fang Yuan led the horse into the village: "I wonder if I should give my horse some feed, something a little better. After all, this old fellow has carried me a long way."
"We have special concentrated feed here, and of course, hot water and food, but these have to be paid! Let me introduce myself, I am the police chief of this village - Goen!"
The middle-aged warrior patted his chest.
And then, Fang Yuan immediately discovered that the "hospitality" of this Kahn village and the free beds were completely an illusion, because the price was already included in the consumption of horse feed and other food.
It has to be said that this kind of small farmer-style cunning still makes him feel a little bright.
"Mr. Ghosn once served as a soldier?"
At this time, Fang Yuan held the horse and chatted casually with Ghosn.
"I once served in the Lord's army for three years, and also worked as a mercenary for a period of time... It was really an unforgettable time..."
Ghosn said with emotion: "Even... I have received training as a fighter, but unfortunately I don't have the talent in this area."
"That's such a shame..."
Fang Yuan nodded. If he really became a fighter, he would not settle down in this small village and become an unknown peace officer.
"You are really not an adventurer?!"
Ghosn looked at Fang Yuan, but there was hesitation in his eyes.
This guy named Luen, although his equipment was very shabby and looked like it was pieced together at random, his physical fitness was astonishing.
Moreover, every move shows very strong skills.
As a veteran warrior's vision and intuition, he believed that he would not be wrong.
"It's not... In fact, I am the heir of a knight! I am preparing to go to the territory of my poor relative!"
Fang Yuan smiled and took out his certification documents.
"I see!"
After meeting him, the suspicion in Ghosn's eyes dissipated a lot and became more solemn.
A future knight with a much higher status than him: "I'm sorry... We will make the best room for you immediately!"
"You're welcome, it's pretty good here!"
Fang Yuan was thinking about other things.
After he deliberately leaked his identity, he wondered if other forces would follow him.
If the other party takes action this time, they will definitely be looking for a sure thing. Maybe there is a transcendent being
"Actually..."
Ghosn took Fang Yuan to the room, but hesitated for a moment: "Your Excellency, our village is not very safe recently! There have been several incidents of wild beasts hurting people. There should be a magical beast wandering nearby. We have collected money I invited adventurers to solve it..."
"So that's it!"
Fang Yuan nodded, knowing where the subtle misunderstanding came from at the beginning: "Is there anything I can do to help?"
"Thank you very much, if there is a need, we will definitely ask."
Ghosn declined firmly but politely.
In fact, this is normal.
Although Fang Yuan's identity has been roughly determined, a certain degree of vigilance must still be maintained.
Even if it is just a document, if it is carefully prepared, there is a possibility of forgery.
And even if it's all true, it seems very problematic no matter how you look at it, for a noble heir to fight bloody battles with monsters, right
"Then, I wonder which adventurer you have invited?"
Fang Yuan no longer suggested, but asked with interest.
"According to feedback from the Adventurer's Guild, the person who received the mission was the 'Black Shield' adventure group, a five-member team headed by 'Steel Samurai' Lantil! A powerful fighter..."
Ghosn thought about it and felt that there was nothing to hide, so he spoke openly.
"Captain! Captain!"
At this time, a militiaman hurriedly ran over from outside, panting and reporting: "The Black Shield adventure group has arrived, and their leader Lantier is at the entrance of the village."
"Feel sorry!"
Ghosn showed a hint of joy on his face, apologized to Fang Yuan, and turned to leave.
"I'm also very interested in the legendary fighter. If the action starts tonight, please be sure to let me know!"
Fang Yuan smiled, with a sparkle in his eyes.
…
Kahn Village, entrance of the village.
As the leader of the Black Shield Adventure Group, Fighter Lantier looked to be in his thirties, wearing a half-body armor, revealing large areas of strong muscles, which reflected a smooth luster in the sunlight.
"Captain... It's just a mission for a small village, and the reward isn't very high. Why do you still want to take it?"
Beside him, an archer complained with some complaints: "Look at this rugged mountain road, I suspect that the final reward is not even enough for a new pair of leather boots!"
"There is no way...there are few tasks recently..."
Lantier shrugged his shoulders and showed a simple and helpless smile.
"Okay, people from the village are here, don't let outsiders laugh..."
At this time, the only female thief in the team spoke, which immediately silenced the archer.
"Anyway, it's probably just a giant wolf or some other magical beast that wandered nearby, and it can be dealt with quickly!"
Lantier whispered something, and looked at Ghosn who was coming to greet him. His face was suddenly filled with a sunny smile, and he greeted him: "Is this Mr. Ghosn? I am Lantier. I'm sorry to keep you waiting for so long!"
