Chapter 27 A Little Edge (1)
I have to say that thieves are really a profession that makes money quickly.
In the next few days, Romon counted the spoils this time, including two hundred gold coins, two thousand silver coins, and a large pile of copper coins.
There are also ten new volumes of cloth, which are probably intended for use on the nest. There are six new sharp daggers, five cowhide storage bags, a basic thief skill book, a poison making manual, a small box filled with various poisons, and tools for special lock-picking. It can be said that there are quite a lot of good things.
If it weren't for the fear of being seen by others, Romon would even want to bring back the superficial property. However, the things he searched from the thief's secret room had already made him very satisfied.
Even if you hunt prey to get money, you don’t come so quickly. Moreover, since you read the diaries and contracts and records of the thieves, you no longer have a knot in killing them. Such a group of guys who harmed countless people would not harm any morality at all.
The only thing Romon is that he is a little awkward is that he cannot use these goods and money because it is too obvious.
Just as Romon was thinking about it here, some room in another place, the young pastor of Ricca Town was talking to the middle-aged tax officer.
"It's really damn! Didn't it mean that magicians don't like meddling in other people's business the most? A magician actually attacked the thief outside the town and looted them all, and was not afraid of losing his identity. This guy is simply a madman!" Pastor Tenes cursed fiercely, nowhere was the kind of etiquette he had when preaching.
The middle-aged tax officer sitting opposite him was much more calm than that. He smiled coldly and said, "What are you worried about? Worrying that the things you entrusted them to deal with will be discovered by the church? Don't tell me, you have any evidence to stay with the thief, then you are too stupid, right?"
"You!" Pastor Tenes blushed, stood up, thought for a while, sat down, and sneered: "Don't think you can do anything to your body. It's not just this time Romon's business, but also this time, aren't you involved? Hehe, I'm so sorry, I also mentioned all your meaning on the letters I left."
Hearing this, Bacasi was stunned at first, and then said angrily: "Are you an idiot?! Leave all these to others as a handle, is your mind flooding?" If he had a certain attitude of watching the show at the beginning, then now he looks quite angry.
"Yes, I admit that I left a handle in the other party's hands, which is indeed stupid, but I don't think it is stupid to pull you in. If I had a good reputation, your original plan was to refuse to admit it, right? If those letters really fell into the hands of others and were not in your relationship, you would definitely put a deception on me, right?" Pastor Tenes said coldly.
Bacacis' expression suddenly solidified, then changed his smile and said, "How is that possible? We all made a profit from the last transaction. Besides, this time we dealt with Romon, we are considered to be working with you, so how could we put the blame on others?"
"Is that so? Then what do you think we should do now? We didn't find the letter from that stronghold. Could it be taken away by the madman?" Pastor Tenes was really a little afraid of the magician who didn't play according to common sense.
Bacacis shook his head: "It shouldn't be. Why did the magician do them? There were many signs of fire attacking the thieves where the documents were loaded. I think those things may have been destroyed in the fight."
"I hope so!" Pastor Tenness said, "Oh, it's a pity, if it weren't for this magician, Naromon would have done business with those thieves today, a pity."
"They are lucky, but there will always be a chance in the future." Baccarat said gritting his teeth. He only thought he was lucky, but he would not think of the two teenagers committing such a big case.
The day passed quickly.
The next day's square meeting will be held on time at 8:00 a.m. Participants include official residents of Ricca Town, officials, Barons and confidants of Ricca Town. As clergymen of the temple, Reverend Tenes and Miss Alini will also attend.
The residents of Rika Town attach great importance to the square meeting. Every time the square meeting is held, almost all the townsmen of Rika Town, over 16 years old, will put down their actions and then rush to the square of the town on time.
At the monthly square meeting, in addition to telling about taxes, production, personnel and other things over the past month, some sensational or extremely evil things that happened in this month will also be read out by officials, and some people will be severely punished.
Romon and Fafer, as young men who are only sixteen years old, participated for the first time this year. Although they were a little nervous, they could only wait outside the square and listen to the reading sounds coming from a very far distance.
The square in Ricca Town follows the custom of sealing the squares with other noble territories. In addition to being open-air, there is a circle of hollowed-out walls around the square, and someone guards the door. Those who do not qualify for entry will be blocked.
The sun was hanging high in the sky, emitting a warm light. When the square meeting was finished, there was no attack. It was obvious that it had been spent this time. Romon felt at ease. He looked at the people on the platform, sneered and sighed again.
Although I have a lot of evidence, I cannot take it out and attack it. This is the huge difference in status. For the lower ones, there is only evidence, but for the higher ones, the evidence is not enough and must have strength.
But after spending this time, at least a while, Romon took a look and turned away
Time passed quickly, and November was coming in a blink of an eye. The forest outside Rika Town had already changed from green to yellow. The colorful flowers that were always dotted in the green were also withered. Although you could still smell the fresh atmosphere unique to plants and trees in the air, it was no longer as rich as before, and instead added a sense of desolation.
Winter is coming. Perhaps, in another month, the heavy snow will cover the entire forest, and the sun will no longer shine on the world with such warmth. The world will be shrouded in the cold of ice and snow. However, this doesn't matter. The dense forest also needs a stage of dormant adjustment. The plants and trees are accumulating strength to strive for the crazy growth of spring tomorrow.
On an open ground outside the forest, Romon closed his eyes and silently felt the breath of nature.
Slowly, an energy that was invisible to the naked eye began to float weakly from around him, from countless plants and trees, constantly gathering together in the air, becoming brighter green light, and then gathering towards his body.
Some flashes were absorbed the moment they touched his body, while some just wandered around his body. Soon, they dissipated in the air and disappeared.
This kind of power is very rare, and the speed of condensation is not very fast.
As time goes by, the energy condensation speed begins to slower and slower, and finally slower and slower. Finally, it is so slow that no light appears for half a day. The thin layer of energy halo that has gathered on Romon's body is so rare that it is not even enough to wrap his body.
After a long time, Romon slowly opened his eyes. Only a small part of the green energy surrounding him merged into his body, and most of the remaining ones dissipated in the air.
He had expected this to be the case, but Romon still pulled the corners of his mouth helplessly.
"The progress is really slow!" Romon looked at his hands helplessly
Since he successfully defeated the plot between Reverend Tenness and the tax officer, he has lived a very comfortable life during this period.
But fearing that others would notice, he did not touch the gold and silver coins, but just divided the copper coins collected from the thieves into three parts, one for Fafell, one for the Nick family, and the rest for himself. Even so, he warned to use less money.
Now there are two thousand silver coins alone, which is a huge sum of money, but the problem is that there must be a legal source. These days, because of Miss Alini's instructions, he can now go to the temple to freely read books, which has helped Romon a lot.
Since that square meeting, Miss Alini has rarely appeared in the temple recently, which has disappointed Romon a little, but soon, his attention was attracted by his own practice progress.
For some reason, his cultivation is very slow now. Although it seems to be very fast to outsiders, it is the green plant in the Shennongjiao space, which gives him energy unconditionally. In this world, it is difficult to absorb green light.
"Is it because of the lack of guidance from the teacher? Or is it because of the last incident where the bison was not killed because of his own consumption? It was contrary to nature?" Romon sighed and suddenly felt that although Jiefa did not like him very much before, with some guidance from Jiefa, he did avoid some detours on the road to practicing druids.
Without the guidance of a teacher, it is always difficult to take steps at certain key points.
Although he has the Shennongjiao space and the wisdom of people from another world, these have made him much smoother on the road to practicing druids, in some key places, it is not just possible to rely on these. He needs someone to exchange experience with him and needs some guidance.
Suddenly, he remembered the temporary adventure certificate and couldn't help but laugh.
As the name suggests, the temporary adventure certificate can also be used to leave the town and travel through the city. Although it is nominally still belongs to this town.
When he returned to the town, he headed straight to the barracks. Fortunately, because of the squadron leader, the squadron leader was quite serious about his swordsmanship, and Romon and Fafell have been working hard here recently.
Romon now cooperates with the pharmacist Anson to make some medicines. This is what Miss Alini told me after knowing it, so she can also make some money. There are always fifteen silver coins per month.
However, if you pay Jiefa’s money within three months, the gap is still big
While practicing, Romon thought that nowadays, basic swordsmanship and footwork can be considered proficient, but because he has not been practiced since childhood, any qualified warrior is stronger than him in terms of strength and proficiency.
