Chapter 121 She should at least be a concubine, right?
Lin Er asked Luna to wait in the hall while he followed the guild members into the inner hall. After walking a few steps, he met Steward Roselyn in her office.
The acquisition path for Foundation Establishment Pills is basically clear; he is currently lacking the spiritual energy of metal, fire, and earth.
Lin Er spoke first, asking, "Steward, is there any news about fire-attribute and earth-attribute monsters?"
"Don't worry, the location is near Watchtower City." Roseline asked Lin Er to sit down first, and then said, "The road to Watchtower City is currently closed and will not reopen until next spring, which will take at least three or four months."
Three or four months?
This wait time is a bit too long.
Lin Er immediately said, "Steward, I can have Sister Ilulian take me there."
"Didn't she go back?"
Roseline was somewhat puzzled.
Lin Er replied, "Sister Ilulian will be coming tomorrow and will stay for about half a month."
Roseline's eyes lit up, but she immediately fell into deep thought, a look of hesitation clearly flashing across her face.
Lin Er tentatively asked, "Deacon, are you looking for my sister's help again?"
Roseline looked up, nodded somewhat shyly, and said, "We just received news from Watchtower City that their granaries are running low on food and they hope we can transport a batch of grain there as soon as possible. However, the road to Watchtower City is currently very dangerous, and we don't have anyone suitable to escort them."
She waved her hand and sighed, "I'll think of something else."
Seeing the steward say this, Lin Er swallowed his words for the time being.
After a moment of silence, Roslin regained her composure and said, "Let's get back to business. I've heard that stone monsters of rank three or higher have appeared in the magic stone mines near Watchtower City."
Lin'er had already found Ilulian as an ally, so he wasn't afraid of the third-tier monster.
He continued, "What about fire-attribute monsters?"
"There's a summoner in Watchtower who's said to be able to summon the Fire Elemental Lord," Roslin explained. "But getting his help might not be so easy."
She immediately explained to Lin Er.
Long ago, some summoners treated the creatures they summoned as "free materials" and "gifts from nature," consuming them indiscriminately.
Times have changed. Summoning advanced creatures now requires not only signing a contract, but also the summoner's reputation, which has become extremely important.
Lin Er frowned. This was not good news.
Roseline added, "However, that summoner is also the guild's vice deacon. If the guild intervenes, they might be able to persuade him."
Lin Er thought for a moment and asked, "Steward, is Watchtower in a hurry for this batch of grain?"
"It's extremely urgent." Roslin blurted out almost immediately, then understood his meaning and said, "You mean—you want to use this as a condition?"
Lin Er countered, "Is that not allowed?"
"It's not impossible," Roslin said seriously. "I can write a letter to inquire, and if Watchtower City agrees, I'll let you know immediately."
Lin Er said, "Then I'll have to trouble you for help, Deacon."
Roseline quickly waved her hand and said, "I'm the one who should be thanking you."
Lin Er didn't think there was anything wrong with it; he was just earning his normal paycheck.
At that moment, Roslin remembered something, took out several silver coats of arms from the drawer, and lined them up on the table.
"Your knight's emblem design is complete. Which one do you like?"
Lin Er glanced at them and finally chose the simpler one. The others were too flashy and complicated, making them difficult to distinguish.
After deciding on the knight's emblem, he wore it on his chest.
Lin Er then asked, "By the way, Deacon, what's the situation with Roman?"
Upon hearing this, Roseline rubbed her forehead, looking pained, and said, "I sent Helena to meet Roman that day, but I didn't expect her to take a liking to him at first sight and insist that she would marry no one but him. I couldn't persuade her."
However, Helena will definitely have to go back to escort the grain. Tell Roman to be patient for two or three days.
Lin Er nodded and asked, "Steward, is there anything I need to be aware of as the deputy steward of Watchtower City?"
Roslinn replied, "When you get there, Helena will teach you first. The situation there is different from Blackrock City. You will need to build your own team."
""
Lin Er asked, "Is it the same as the Silver Squad?"
Roseline shook her head and replied, "There are similarities, but the deputy deacon has more power, with the majority of the reward money coming from the profits, and can also own a portion of the property tax-free."
No wonder the competition for the position of Blackrock City's deputy deacon is so fierce.
If it weren't for the danger in Watchtower, he probably wouldn't have gotten this job.
After learning the relevant information, Lin Er felt a little more at ease.
He bid a brief farewell to Roseline and headed towards the guild's main hall.
As soon as they came out, Luna greeted them respectfully. Gareth followed behind.
Gareth looked at the knight's emblem on Lin'er's chest with a complicated expression. He had originally thought that Lin'er was only slightly stronger than him, and he had just broken through to the peak of the first rank after a period of hard training, and was secretly delighted.
He never expected that Lin Er could even kill a third-tier troll. Even if his father said he "got it for free," it was still a third-tier monster. The difference was so stark that he completely lost the will to compare.
What frustrated him most was that his sister's talent was not as good as his, but she was already at the early stage of the second tier, and she didn't even care about her dignity, preferring to be a maid to follow Lin Er.
At least discuss it with your family.
Gareth sighed inwardly.
He straightened his expression and said, "Lord Lin'er, my father would like to invite you to a gathering at Silver Shield Manor."
Lin Er said in a deep voice, "Then please lead the way."
"9
After all, he had taken Luna away, and now that the Silver Shield family was looking for him, it was indeed inappropriate for him to postpone the meeting.
The three headed towards Silver Shield Manor. The manor wasn't far from the guild, and they arrived in a short while. Several servants greeted them respectfully at the gate. They treated Luna with the same utmost respect, still regarding her as the second young lady of the Silver Shield family.
As Raymond entered the banquet hall, he greeted him with a smile: "Lord Lin'er, congratulations on your formal knighting. Please take a seat."
He then instructed his servants to prepare wine and food, appearing as if he wanted to warmly welcome him.
Unable to discern the other party's intentions, Lin Er decided to cut to the chase, saying, "Sir Raymond is looking for me, presumably about Luna."
Raymond's expression froze, and his gaze involuntarily fell on Luna, gradually turning cold.
Luna's eyes flickered, clearly showing some fear.
Lin Er frowned upon seeing this, then shielded Luna behind him and continued, "Sir Raymond, if you have anything to say, please speak freely."
Raymond shifted his gaze from Luna to Lin Er, and said in a deep voice, "Luna, at the very least, should be a concubine, right?"
Lin Er laughed and said, "Sir Raymond, you may have misunderstood something. Luna only agreed to become my maid in order to save you."
Raymond paused, then asked, "What does that mean?"
Lin Er continued, "You should know the situation at the time. If I hadn't intervened, you would have been dead. That's why Luna humbled herself and begged me."
Raymond turned to Luna and demanded, "Luna, is this true?"
Luna lowered her eyes and remained silent.
Lin Er continued, "In short, Luna is mine now. I have other matters to attend to, so I'll take my leave."
He left after saying that, taking Luna with him.
Raymond was left standing there, stunned and speechless for a long time.
