Legendary Hero

At noon the next day, a visitor came to Luo Lin's small courtyard. The identity of the visitor was Bernard, as Luo Lin expected.

He rode a horse and came alone. When he saw Luo Lin, he smiled heartily: "Congratulations, Lord Luo Lin."

As soon as he heard this name, Luo Lin knew that he had succeeded in the operation, which was not beyond his expectation, because Vianna had already known about it, and she had already nodded in agreement with his idea. But I still have to thank Bernard for this matter. These days, this person should have done a lot for him.

He also smiled: "I should be the one to thank you, Bernard. Well~ You look very energetic, and your body is recovering well."

Bernard laughed. He tied the horse to the stake next to the yard, walked slowly into the small yard, looked around, and suddenly said in a sour tone: "If I'm not mistaken, this house It should be the property of Miss Dai Wei, right?"

Luo Lin was startled, and then realized that Bernard didn't really let Dai Wei go. He nodded: "It is indeed hers. Miss Dai Wei has helped me a lot all the time, and I am very grateful to her."

Bernard stopped in front of a big tree in the courtyard, folded his arms around his chest, leaned against the big tree, and fixed his eyes on Luo Lin: "Is it just gratitude?"

This question made Luo Lin hesitate. He recalled all the things he and Dai Wei had experienced, and he was naturally grateful, but it seemed that there were many strange feelings mixed in. The relationship between the two had long been unclear. But deep down, Luo Lin told himself that he had to control himself and could not go any further, because he already had someone in his heart, and if he continued to get entangled with Dai Wei, he would only hurt each other in the end.

"Heh~" Bernard smiled lonely: "I already know the answer."

He has experienced some things these days, and these things made him understand that as long as Luo Lin is around, he will probably never have a relationship with Dai Wei in this life. This is really a sad answer.

As he spoke, he took out a document from his pocket that was stamped with the sealing seal of the Primo family: "Take it, this is your grant document, with this thing, you are a hereditary lord, and it records your The jazz collar... uh~ the location is a little remote, and the land is a little barren, but as compensation, its area is very large, almost three times the size of a normal jazz collar."

Luo Lin took the document, the document was very thin, and when he opened it, there was only a piece of official paper with magic in it. The content on it was very concise, just one sentence: "Rolin, Sir Hereditary Merit. Fief: Black Sea, northeast of Vendôme Yagaodi Town and the surrounding 50-kilometer land boundary will never be replaced by hereditary."

This sentence is also stamped with the magic coat of arms of the Primo family, which represents its legitimacy.

The moment he saw this letter, Luo Lin heard the news from Zhinao.

Accept the side task: develop the territory.

Start the first step of the mission: clear the obstacles.

Task content: Clean up the destruction cultists and any hostile forces hidden in the territory. (Intellect will automatically evaluate the degree of completion)

Mission reward: Charisma +5. (Leadership charisma: the ability to gain goodwill, the ability to unite a team, and the ability to improve the morale of the army will all be strengthened.)

After a quick glance at the task, Luo Lin knew it in his mind. He put away the paperwork and asked, "And then? Shouldn't there be an acceptance ceremony?"

If it's an honorary knight, it's okay to just leave it like that, because it's just a false name, but he got the land anyway, and it's such a large piece of land, just such a document seems too rash.

Bernard shook his head: "There was originally a conferring ceremony, but something went wrong, er, it is said that the lord's wife does not seem to agree with the canonization, because of her objection, the lord has been hesitant until this morning Things took a turn for the better. It is said that the archmage Vianna you followed intervened. Therefore, although the lord agreed to the canonization in the end, in order not to irritate his wife, the ceremony was saved as much as possible."

Having said that, Bernard couldn't help but carefully examine the young man in front of him.

In his eyes, the other party was really young, probably not more than twenty years old. Although the lines of his face were rigid, there was still a trace of childishness left. Moreover, the other party's appearance tends to be rough, with a big nose and mouth, which looks like a lion. There are also a pair of eyes, which are as big as bells, but the corners of the eyes are slender, slanting upwards, like a pair of longan eyes , exuding a fierce and capable aura, for a warrior warrior, this appearance is excellent and extremely oppressive, but it has nothing to do with the handsome and elegant respected by the noble class. In the upper class, it can even be called It's ugly.

This shows that this Luo Lin did not rely on his natural appearance to rise to the top. Although this kind of thing is not uncommon in the upper class, he should rely on his own talent.

This talent should not only be evaluated by excellent, but words like 'extraordinary' and 'excellent' should be used. Otherwise, it is impossible for him to be admired by Archmage Vianna, and even make that noble and beautiful Archmage change her low profile in the past , Fight for the title for him.

This made Bernard's evaluation of Rowling even higher.

If it was said that Bernard was only amazed by Rowling's defeat of the dwarf warlock before, but now he has sincere admiration for this man.

The lord's wife Liv's obstruction... Luo Lin frowned slightly, he couldn't figure out why the woman disagreed, was it just because of the hatred of the elf Lufei last time? No, it shouldn't be because of that incident. Suddenly, a word jumped into Luo Lin's mind.

‘Blood Witch! ’ Yes, if the other party has been bewitched by the darkness now, and has secretly fallen into the embrace of the darkness to destroy the gods, then everything she does now has a reasonable explanation.

In the previous game, the Bloody Witch hid herself very deeply at first, and was not really exposed until the orcs invaded. The first act she exposed was trying to sacrifice her pair of children to the demon god.

That was a woman who was narrow and selfish to the extreme.

Thinking of this, the sense of urgency in Luo Lin's heart became more intense. In this life, the process of many things seemed to be accelerated, and he might not have as much time as he imagined.

"No matter what, I finally became a Lord, thank you, Bernard. But you know, I don't know anything about managing territories. Do you have any suggestions?" Rollin asked, he must develop his strength as soon as possible.

Bernard smiled: "Then you are asking the right person. If you don't mind, I can appoint a family steward to follow you and help you familiarize yourself with the affairs of the territory."

This is really a timely help, Luo Lin sincerely thanked: "Of course I don't mind. If there is no problem, I am going to set off tomorrow."

"No problem. The steward will come in the afternoon." Bernard smiled, thought for a while, and said, "The territory needs a lot of gold coins when it is first established. I know you are short of that, and I can provide you with a loan. Of course, This is with interest, a monthly interest."

For a profit, you only need to repay 12% more gold coins after one year. In this world and this era, it is very, very low, and it is really a timely help.

Luo Lin agreed without hesitation. He laughed: "Bernard, you are so generous. I am going to borrow 10,000 gold coins. Is there a problem?"

The power he needs is endless, and the more gold coins, the better. If it wasn't for Bernard's ability to bear it, he really wanted to call for a hundred thousand gold coins.

"...It's really a lion's mouth." Bernard was taken aback, but as the director of business and taxation, he was in charge of money. He didn't know how much money he had withheld for so many years. It hurts a little, but it won't damage his fundamentals. Even if Luo Lin doesn't pay for these gold coins, he can survive, and let this person owe his boss a favor. This deal is still a good deal.

Of course, this is only aimed at Rowling, because Bernard understands his character and is very sure that this person will never be greedy for his gold coins. Alone, Bernard wouldn't dare take the risk.

In a flash of thought, Bernard weighed the pros and cons. He said with a painful face: "Although it is a burden, you saved my life. I can't be stingy. The money will be delivered with the housekeeper tomorrow."

His performance really impressed Rowling. He originally estimated that the upper limit should be 5,000 gold coins. This man is really courageous. He patted Bernard on the shoulder: "Don't worry, your investment is not bad. It will be in vain."

Bernard smiled wryly. He didn't have any hope for a soldier's business acumen. He didn't have any hope for Rowling's words. He only thought that the money was a favor.

"Ten thousand gold coins is a lot. If I want it tomorrow, the time will be a little tight. I have to mobilize the money now."

"Go, I also have a lot of things to arrange."

"That... Miss Dai Wei, you... treat her well." Before leaving, Bernard added hesitantly.

Luo Lin felt a little headache, how could this matter be so entangled, as the old saying is true, the word love is the most difficult to understand.

He couldn't think of a solution for the time being, so he could only respond vaguely: "I will."

Bernard just left, and Rowling watched him go, packed up again, and went to the Sword and Rose Mercenary Corps station. He had to tell his friends the news.

He has become a lord and has a territory. When he needs a large number of people, the more helpers the better, he needs the help of those friends now.

Unexpectedly, when they arrived at the station, Horn and the others were still not there. The mercenaries who stayed behind said that these days, except for some messages, they have been busy outside.

Luo Lin had no choice but to leave after leaving a letter.

Back in the courtyard, Luo Lin went to the basement of the courtyard.

In the basement, the dwarf Saledo was drawing a magic circle on the ground. It looked like it should be a summoning circle. He was startled by the movement of the wooden door, turned around, saw that it was Luo Lin, and immediately showed a flattering smile on his face. Explained: "Master, I found that my magic power has recovered, and I'm trying to summon a Lion's Mane War Demon again."

"I know." Luo Lin nodded, looked up and down the basement, his eyes finally fell back on Saledo's face, and said meaningfully: "After summoning the war demon, you have power again, and then you Want to kill me for revenge?"

Saledo quickly shook his head and waved his hands in denial: "No, no, you are my new master. I am here to gain more power and help you do more things."

This dwarf has no integrity at all. Luo Lin believed that he was a ghost. He thought a little, and the bondage rune he carried on his body immediately responded to his thoughts. Immediately, thorns began to grow deep in the dwarf's body. Saledo immediately knelt on the ground and said There was a sharp scream.

"No, no, master, I really don't mind, really, really! Forgive me! Oh~no~ I'm going to die." Sweat dripped from the dwarf's forehead continuously, he breathed heavily, enduring his body Unparalleled pain.

Seeing that the situation was almost over, Luo Lin stopped triggering the rune, and the thorns in the dwarf's body immediately shrank back, as if it had never grown.

"I can decide your life or death at any time, dwarf, as long as you don't betray me and work for me, then I will protect your life. This is a promise." Luo Lin said solemnly.

The dwarf lay powerlessly on the ground and looked at Luo Lin in fear. The last little thought in his heart was dispelled. He nodded: "I will always be loyal, master."

Rollin nodded. He didn't believe in the dwarf's loyalty, but he believed in the fear in his heart.

Up to now, he has done everything he can... Oh no, he still has to talk to Dai Wei.

Thinking of Dai Wei gave Luo Lin a headache, he didn't know how to treat her. After much deliberation, Luo Lin gritted his teeth, got on his horse, and walked to Dai Wei's villa.

Since you can't figure it out, let's put it aside and let time decide.
