Reina was lying in the canopy of a big tree, hiding among the dense branches and leaves, staring attentively at Baron Keen's Mansion in the distance.
She is an adventurer. Because she has inherited some special bloodline and has amazingly good eyesight, she often takes on tasks such as reconnaissance and spying, and is somewhat famous.
Not long ago, she received a long-term mission to investigate the Baron of Keen and collect as much intelligence as possible. The more and more detailed intelligence you collect, the more rewards you can get.
This task was settled every ten days. Although the person who paid the money hid his identity and refused to show his face and only asked the Adventure Guild to settle the settlement on his behalf, the money was given readily. Reina didn't want to meet her employer, lest she be killed and silenced, so this was just the right time.
However, it is not easy to collect enough valuable intelligence. Reina has already handed in two missions, and it is really difficult to find new information now.
For example, she has been lurking in the tree outside the Baron's Mansion for two days, but apart from determining the residence and work and rest habits of everyone in the mansion, she has gained nothing.
If possible, she didn't want to sell this kind of thing as intelligence. After all, this kind of information didn't look like it could be used for purposes other than assassination. And Baron Keen has a good reputation and strong strength. The previous generation of Baron Keen was even able to come back alive from the bloody killing field of "The Day the Sun Goes Out" carrying the corpses of his friends. She definitely didn't want to get into irreversible hostility with such a person.
Risk takers are looking for money, not excitement. Reina has an old father and young siblings. She has been in the prostitutes for several years and has not even gotten married yet. It would be a great loss if she got into huge trouble and died like this.
So she secretly made up her mind that if she couldn't find any valuable information today, she would investigate somewhere else.
The sun gradually got higher, and when it was close to noon, Reina saw the former Baron Keen who was reading a document through a slightly remote study window.
The former baron was a legendary figure: back then he was just an ordinary scholar who could compile one or two good poems, nothing more. But when he succeeded as baron, various wonderful stories happened one after another. First, he was poisoned and on the verge of death, and then he was miraculously saved. Then he vigorously cleaned up the territory, killing almost all the spies who had infiltrated the territory. Next, he went to the Mask of the Void amusement park, supposedly to recruit people, but he won the legendary and crazy "one gold coin" grand prize. With a huge sum of money in hand, he began to promote agricultural reforms in the territory.
For others, this is already a complete legend. But for him, this is just the beginning of a legendary story.
Just when everyone thought that Baron Keen would lead his territory and people to stride forward, due to the strife from the upper echelons of the principality, he was sent to the Eagle Kingdom to support him in a near-death battle with the orcs. The subsequent battle was truly earth-shattering, with hundreds of thousands of casualties on both sides, and even the earliest human god, the God of Knights, fell as a result. But in that horrific battle, Baron Keen not only came back alive, he also brought back the body of his best friend Spencer.
Not only that, he was injured and sick at the time, but he actually killed the enemy who tried to intercept him on the way back!
Reina was very curious about this legendary figure, especially the files he was looking at. So she hesitated briefly before activating the ability of blood inheritance.
Her originally light gray eyes turned silvery white in an instant, and a faint shimmer emitted from the eyeballs. If it was dark now, maybe these eyes would be as conspicuous as two small light bulbs.
And when this change happened, the scene in her field of vision suddenly became larger, as if she had suddenly arrived in the study, leaning next to the documents in the hands of the former baron, and watching them carefully.
It was a document on military training expenditures and preparations for actual combat training in the near future.
Because of the angle, Reina had to concentrate in order to understand the document that was placed upside down relative to her. So she didn't notice that the former baron stopped flipping through the documents at some point, raised his head with interest, and was looking up in her direction.
[Rena, Strength 12, Constitution 12, Agility 14, Perception 20, Intelligence 12, Charisma 12, Reputation 60, Occupation: Ranger Level 5, Scout Level 5, Warlock Level 0, Friendliness Level 6 10. Special bloodline is being activated]
Creek does not have Lena's special bloodline, but he has the ability to see character attributes. The distance between Reina and him at this moment is still within the range where the superpower can be activated.
In fact, Creek discovered Lena lurking in the tree yesterday. It's just that he felt that this person was quite friendly with him and didn't seem to be an enemy, so he ignored him.
No matter what this person named Rena wants to do, as long as the friendship level does not change, it has nothing to do with him.
He smiled, lowered his head again, and read the document intently.
The territory has not yet recovered from the huge loss last time, and now he is busy with various tasks. As a lord, he has to work harder.
This small episode did not hinder his work. After reading the documents to be processed today and annotating everything that needed to be annotated, he called the attendant and delivered the documents that needed to be sent back. Then, with his hands behind his back, Shi Shiran went Military camp, look at the situation of the army.
The recruits have been training for almost two months, and it is supposed to be time for them to try out actual combat.
The military camp was built next to the Baron's Palace, which could be said to be a neighbor. He arrived at the military camp shortly after and saw thirty recruits, under the command of Sean James, the second son of Howard James Knight, wearing heavy armor, lining up in a neat queue, and meticulously practicing spear thrusts.
Seeing his arrival, Sean smiled slightly, but did not come over to say hello immediately. Instead, he let the soldiers rest for a while before coming up to him.
"Sir, you came a little early today." He said, "The daily training has not been completed yet."
"I just came to see how they were training." Creek said with a smile, "If nothing else, this team is pretty neat. It was also pretty neat when they thrust out their spears just now."
Sean nodded: "That's true. I originally thought they were not strong enough to fight. But now it seems that there are benefits to such honest and obedient people. At least they train hard and hard, and their movements are neat. In actual combat, they should It can be of great help.”
"So, are you interested in letting them have a try in actual combat?" Creek said, "Recently, a group of gray goblins appeared in the nearby mountains, numbering about twenty to thirty. It is really dangerous to allow those guys to settle in front of our house. . I plan to try to lure them out and set up an ambush. If you think it is possible, you might as well let them be the main force."
Sean lowered his head and pondered.
Gray goblins are a subspecies of goblins that are slightly stronger but less fertile. However, for humans, as long as they are evil and violent goblins, all varieties are the same, there are only two types of "live" and "dead".
As the commander of this new force, Sean is very clear about the strength of his subordinates. They have to defeat thirty gray goblins - theoretically this is the maximum, and it is always right to be lenient when you anticipate the enemy - there should be no problem, no problem lies in damage.
If the loss is too great, it's not worth it.
After much consideration, the brave young knight finally made up his mind, raised his head, and said firmly: "Then let them attack! A good soldier is a soldier who has seen blood!"
