Three minutes later, Sean sat on the carriage heading to the Earl of River Castle.

Sean lives in the east of Yohn City, which belongs to the civilian area of ​​Yohn City. The Earl of River originally placed him here because it is the closest to the Holy Light Church and it is convenient for the bishop to treat his injuries.

Earl River's castle is located in the west of the city, in the deepest part of the wealthy area. Even if Sean takes a carriage to get there, it will take a lot of time.

(The reason why the Holy Light Church was not established in a wealthy area but in a civilian area is that the power of faith is harvested on a per capita basis. The population in civilian areas is dense and convenient for preaching, while the population in wealthy areas is sparse. Moreover, the church will periodically provide

The poor people in the city receive free medical treatment and distribute free food to strengthen the faith of the Holy Light Church in the Youn area.)

Sitting in the carriage, Sean looked at the scenery outside the window and gradually fell into deep thought.

What Sean was thinking about now was the conversation he had with the housekeeper just now.

The butler's description of the bandits "all committing suicide" seemed to be perfectly fine, but it gave Sean a contradictory feeling.

Bandits are not rebels. When surrounded by officers and soldiers and certain death is inevitable, they will usually choose to surrender. Even if they do not surrender, they will not choose the extreme method of all committing suicide.

Moreover, except for a small number of bandit leaders, most of them had nothing. Farmers who could not afford heavy taxes were forced to go up the mountains to become bandits, and they had a strong desire to survive.

Sean didn't believe that these farmers would take such an extreme way to commit suicide.

So there may be something wrong with the earl's butler.

In fact, in the past two days after the attack, Sean also thought about whether these "bandits" were sent by his former enemies. After all, those bandits were unexpectedly powerful, more like mercenaries than bandits.

.

But these "mercenaries" should decisively leave the city of Jon after the assassination mission failed. Why were they surrounded by the guards of the Earl of River?

Could it be that what Earl River said was also a lie?

...

When Sean thought of this, he suddenly felt like his mind was in a state of confusion. Things seemed to be more complicated than he imagined.

Forget it, don’t think about it so much for now, let’s continue studying the system. The system is the capital of your current life.

Sean remembered that he saw a new system prompt when he recalled Windsor last time, but he was pressed for time and didn't bother to read it. Now he just has time to take a look.

"System." Sean muttered silently in his mind.

In an instant, the light blue light curtain appeared in front of his eyes again.

Sean looked directly towards the bottom of the light screen and immediately found the system prompt.

[System prompt: Enter the [Follower] module for the first time to get the reward [Elf] X2, do you want to receive it? 】

【yes】

【no】

[System prompt: Zero-level followers will not occupy the follower summoning slot.]

It turns out that I forgot to collect the reward for entering the [Follow] module for the first time.

Although only two followers were sent this time, the system prompts that these two [elves] do not occupy the summoning slot like other first-level followers, which is still very good.

Sean opened the [Follower] module, and sure enough, the [Summon] button next to the two [Elves] was green.

【Elf】

Quality: ordinary

0 fee 1/1

Race: Elf

Card description: If you attack the Eredar Lord with enough elves, he will explode. But why?

...

Although the elf can be summoned directly, but he is on the carriage now, so it is better to wait until he returns to his residence before summoning.

I don’t know what the attribute panel of [Elf] will be redone by the system.

...

Just as Sean was studying the system, the carriage suddenly stopped, and the voice of the butler William came from outside the carriage at the right time: "Your Highness Sean, we have arrived."

After hearing what the earl butler said, Sean turned off the system. It was better to do business first. The system could be studied slowly later.

...

The carriage slowly stopped, and Sean also got off the carriage.

Earl River's castle is located in the deepest part of the wealthy area. When Sean came to Earl River's castle, he seemed to have entered another world.

Generally speaking, the civilian areas of Jon City are mixed with people and dirty.

No one cleans up the filth and garbage on the streets. You can often smell various odors when walking on the streets. The sewers have long been blocked by garbage. When it rains heavily, everything is muddy. What's worse, many people are dragged into an alley. He never came out after that.

In fact, the urban areas are pretty good. In the city of Jon, the real lowest class people live in slums, and the public security and hygiene there are simply unimaginable.

But it's different in the wealthy areas. It's clean and tidy. Not only are city guards patrolling, but the lawns and flower beds are also neatly trimmed. Compared with the civilian areas, it's like the difference between heaven and hell.

"The environment here is much better than that in civilian areas." Sean couldn't help but sigh as soon as he got off the carriage.

When the housekeeper William heard what Sean said, he thought that Sean was dissatisfied with the living environment in the civilian area, so he hurriedly explained:

"The environment in the civilian area is indeed bad, but there is nothing we can do about arranging you there. After all, it is the closest to the Holy Light Church, and our master cannot command the bishop of the church."

"Oh, I understand you, please lead the way." Sean said calmly.

"Okay." The count's butler bowed and led the way.

...

The count's castle is about twenty meters high and is built of large stones. It can be regarded as the tallest building in the city of Jon except for the Church of the Holy Light.

Under the guidance of the butler, Sean finally met the Earl of River in the living room on the first floor of the castle.

The Earl of the River is a middle-aged man with a majestic face and a slightly fat face. He is wearing the casual clothes worn by nobles. He is chatting with the people around him.

(Earl River seems to be just a count, but in fact his family’s power ranks third in the Principality of Lane.

Ranking first is of course Ryan's royal family, the Violet Family. The Violet Family owns 60% of the principality's land and is more powerful than the other families combined;

Ranked second is the Hill family whose base is in Vernes, a large city in the northwest of the principality. The head of the Hill family, Brandon Hill, is also the only marquis in the Principality of Lane;

Ranked third is Earl Mason River. Although he is only a count, his family controls the city of Yohn, one of the five major cities in the principality, and its strength cannot be underestimated.)

The person chatting with Earl River was a handsome middle-aged man, wearing a pure golden body armor. The armor on his body shone like a bronze mirror. Judging from his clothes, he should be a general.

Behind Earl River stood a middle-aged man, wearing a black tuxedo and tie like the butler William. Judging from his appearance, he must also be a butler.

Seeing Sean come to the living room, the three of them greeted Sean in unison.

...

"Long time no see, Lord Earl of River!" Sean first gave a noble salute to Earl of River.

Although he is the biological son of the Grand Duke, he is only a baron after all, and etiquette must still be in place.

"Haha, Your Highness Sean, the three of us are here just to wait for you. Is your injury feeling better?"

The Earl of River walked up to Sean and patted Sean on the shoulder as if he was supporting a junior.

"Thanks to the God of Light, I have recovered."

"That's good. The bishop of the Holy Light Church still has two brushes. I remember that you were almost out of breath when you were brought back to Jon City. I didn't expect you to recover so quickly... Forget it, let's not talk about it for now.

Now, let me introduce you to these two people..."

Earl River turned sideways and introduced the two people behind him to Sean.

"You met this one when you came here last time, Lucas. He is a peak gold-level warrior and the strongest warrior in the Jon area. Because he does not have a title, he does not have a last name for the time being." Earl River patted the man wearing full-body golden armor.
