"I think you may have heard of the name, Russell," Russell continued.
"Oh, so you are the Baron, the good fellow who just won a great battle in Uxhall..." At this moment, a trace of timidity gradually appeared in the robber's eyes.
"Well, you are well-informed. Then we can talk now. Hand over the woman and the child to me, so that you don't have to bleed."
"Baron, we'll give you a favor, but even if you want to take them away, you'll need a ransom of 1,700 dinars."
"My face is only worth 300 dinars? Well, well, it's not easy for you to rob people. Here's the money."
In order to ensure the safety of the hostages, De La Serre pretended to give up and gave the other party 1,700 dinars first.
"Very good, I leave them to you. If they are robbed again, it will have nothing to do with us, Baron." The robbers let the women and children go.
De La Serre motioned the women and children to come behind him, and just as the robbers were about to turn around and leave, De La Serre stopped them.
"Hey, are you leaving now? We still have things to do."
"Anything else? The hostages have been handed over to you."
"You need to pay a toll when you pass by here. The Eberron village nearby is my territory, De La Ser."
This wave of operations confused the robbers, and for a moment they couldn't tell who the robber was.
Before the robbers could come to their senses, De La Serre said, "I'll give you face, each of you pay 100, and the total amount to me is 2,000."
"Baron, I advise you to go see a doctor if you are sick. Don't come here..."
Before the bandit could finish his words, De Lacelle quickly drew his sword and with a "puff", he instantly cut off the bandit leader's head!
The huge gap in strength made the remaining 19 bandits tremble in fear without fighting.
De La Serre picked up the 1700 he had just given and said, "You still owe me 300 dinars. Do you want your life or money?"
The 19 robbers were so frightened that they quickly scraped together 300 dinars and offered them as a tribute.
"Very good, let's go. Don't bully anyone in my territory again, or you will lose both your money and your life. You won't be so lucky next time. I won't give you a chance to choose."
The robbers agreed and ran away.
Satisfied, Thay took the women and children and headed for the Eberron village.
The village of Eberron is relatively prosperous, and the villagers are working hard to live, looking forward to harmony and happiness.
De La Serre did not find anything unusual here. He spent 200 dinars to buy a cow and let the cow pull a simple wooden cart with women and children on it.
This way the journey back will be much easier and more convenient, and it will also save women and children from suffering. It would be too tiring to walk such a long distance.
The return journey was smooth and they soon returned to the town of Uxhall.
With a smile on his face, De La Serre took the women and children to find the mayor.
"Thank you! Our honorable master, you have successfully brought them back! Here is the reward of 500 dinars."
"No need for reward. This household has already paid 2,000 yuan for the ransom. It's not a small sum. Just keep the 500 yuan for a good life."
Hearing this, the woman burst into tears of gratitude, knelt on the ground, and said in tears: "You are really the benefactor of our whole family. We are so happy to have you in Uxhall!"
Town Uxhall's impression increased by +5.
Mission accomplished
You successfully rescued the resident's wife and children.
Comment: I didn’t expect that you are so generous and kind that you would spend an extra 200 yuan to take care of the residents on the road. Please keep up such good deeds.
Occasionally, when he heard the system's compliments, De Lassel felt a little happy.
He was just about to leave and return to the Lord's Hall to report his safety to Safiya and others when the woman spoke again:
"My dear master, can you leave this cow to me?"
"No problem, you can take it away."
"Thank you. I am very good at cooking beef. I hope to add an extra dish to your dinner tonight. When the dish is ready, I will send it to the door of the Lord's Hall and you can send someone out to pick it up."
"Hmm? Why bother? I can just come to your house for dinner."
The woman looked embarrassed and explained: "This... My distinguished master, you are the leader of the nobility, you are the earl, how dare we common people eat with you..."
De La Serre smiled and replied, "Don't worry so much. I'll go to your house for dinner tonight. I'll call Safiya and the others and they'll be here in a while."
Soon, De Lacelle returned to the Lord's Hall and
When I told her about this, Safia readily accepted it.
After a simple wash and change of clothes, De Lassel brought Safiya and the young dragon Ryan to the woman's home.
The woman's home was quite spacious, so the man must have been well off, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to raise the 2,000 dinars ransom.
"Good evening, my distinguished master. This must be Miss Safiya. You are so beautiful."
Safiya's face was filled with smiles, and she whispered: "You have a good taste, Baron, did you hear that? She praised me for being beautiful~"
"Yes, yes, my Princess Safiya, you are so beautiful."
Your friendship with Safiya increases by 2, and the current friendship is 50.
De La Ser looked around and asked, "Why can't I see the man of your house?"
"He will be back soon. He is a sword-making blacksmith and usually works late."
Upon hearing this, De La Serre immediately became interested. "Oh? The sword-making blacksmith, how good is he?"
The woman replied: "I don't know much about this, but my husband once forged a sword for King Harlaus X of Swadia."
"That's enough to show that his skills are perfect and he is a good swordsmith."
"My dear master, you are so kind..."
Just as they were talking about this, the blacksmith came home. He had heard everything from the mayor.
When he returned home, the blacksmith first burst into tears of joy, then hugged his wife and children tightly, and the family was finally reunited.
Next, he knelt in front of De La Serre again and expressed his gratitude:
"My honorable master, thank you! I also heard that you hired a bullock cart to take them on the road and did not ask for payment. You are really a benefactor to our whole family!"
My goodness, people from the same family stick together and even say the same thing. The phrase "benefactor of our entire family" was deeply imprinted in De Lassel's mind.
De La Serre helped him up and said, "Get up, what's your name?"
"My name is Aubrey Jessliman, and I'm a blacksmith."
"It's too hard to remember. I'll just call you Lao Ao from now on. Lao Ao, I heard that you are an excellent swordsmith."
"You're flattering me. I just get better with practice."
"Well, you're very humble, I like that. It's getting late, let's eat first and talk while we eat."
