Lord Saren: I have a proficiency panel

Chapter 13 The Appointment of the Baron

But I heard Baron Zemo explain calmly: "I know that the Talon Territory is called a place of exile because of its harsh conditions and danger. All family members are unwilling to go there. But I think the same is true there. The place where the family arose.”

"Although I don't want to admit it, the current Saren family has become worse than the previous generation." He said with a bitter tone: "My generation has turned the family into this. I really feel ashamed of my ancestors and Tian as the patriarch."

When Barron and Ram heard this, they were both speechless. Although what Zemo said didn't sound good, it was indeed the truth.

The ancestors of the previous generations of the Saren family were almost all high-level knights. There were more than ten official knights under their command, and there were many high-level knights of level 4 or above, and even high-level mages and high-level priests. .

In recent years, although there are nearly ten official knights in the territory, the highest is only the third level, and the rest are formal knights hovering between the first and second levels. In terms of strength, it is no longer the same as before.

But now, with the brothers breaking up and causing trouble, there are only five official knights left in the territory, which is really a ridiculous number. A barony of this caliber might not even be able to defeat some powerful knights.

"The Saren family is like a frog in warm water, being slowly boiled to death." Zemo said solemnly to Lodi: "My child, as a descendant of the family, you have such potential. I don't want to let this stagnant water drag me down." Stop your steps. Therefore, I hope that you will go to a broader and more difficult environment to hone your will and increase your knowledge. If the barony is really destroyed by my hands in the future, I hope to pick you off. Get out. This can be considered as leaving a little fire and hope for my Saren family."

"That place is indeed very difficult. Not only do you have to be raided by evil orcs from the north; you also have to be robbed by gnolls and kobolds. There are also monsters in the swamps to the west. It's really not easy for you to go to that place. I'm so ashamed. , as a baron, I actually have nothing to support you, but I will still try my best to satisfy you."

To be honest, Luo Di was a little confused at the moment. He didn't expect that Zemo would have such high hopes for him, and subconsciously asked: "Baron, with all due respect, we don't have many interactions. I want to know why you value me so much."

Zemo fell silent and thought about this question seriously. After pondering for a long time, he finally answered: "There are many reasons. First of all, you are the only one who has mastered the Qingshuang Breathing Technique in such a short period of time - this is our The oldest breathing method in the family; secondly, you are Harley's son. Although he does not have the talent for knighthood, I grew up with him and know his qualities well. I believe that as his son, you will not be bad; finally, I really appreciate the way you killed Jack, and it shows that you are not a member of George's camp."

"Of course the most important thing is my feeling." Zemo smiled and said: "When I first met you, I had a different feeling towards you. There seemed to be something in your eyes that was inconsistent with your age. Calm and wise. So I gave you the badge without hesitation and made a bet on you. I hope I can make the right bet.

"But, are you willing to bear the burden of continuing the family?"

After saying this, Zemo seemed a little weak. After coughing a few times, he looked at Lodi with serious eyes, waiting for his answer.

Luo Di did not answer immediately. He silently considered the pros and cons in his heart.

Although staying in the barony is temporarily out of contact with hostile forces, being tied up like this and being forced to participate in party struggles and compete with these old silver coins is really not a good environment for development. And if you go to Talon Territory, it seems difficult. But it is a place where strength is king, and you can be the master of your own affairs. More importantly, there is no shortage of actual combat there, and the efficiency of obtaining experience points is definitely higher than in a comfortable environment.

Taken together, Talon Territory is undoubtedly a better choice. As the saying goes, one is born in sorrow and dies in happiness. Now he is too weak, and the growth of his strength is the issue that he should consider most.

Thinking of this, Lodi finally came to his own conclusion. With a smile on his face, he bowed to Zemo and said, "Sir, I choose to go to the Talon Territory. But I don't have your family-mindedness. I just want to find a quiet place to improve myself. .”

"Okay!" Zemo was immediately overjoyed. He doesn't care whether Lodi's purpose is to revitalize the family, as long as this effect can be achieved objectively.

He was originally leaning on the chair, but now he managed to sit up and gave a solemn order: "Barron Clement, you will serve as the knight lord under Lord Saren and go to your new fiefdom of Talon. At the same time, you will take office. The first knight captain of the Saren Knights of the Lost Kingdom: Talon Knight. These are your superficial identities. Your actual identity is the chief advisor of Lodi Saren. You are completely obedient to Lodi and assist him in running Talon well. territory."

"Lodi Saren, as Barron Clement's chief knight squire, you will go to the Talon territory with Barron. In fact, you have absolute control over the territory. In order to ensure that you have this control Quan, I now officially grant you the title of Junker, you can be called Sir Lodi or Sir Saren from now on."

Barron and Rody looked at each other and bowed together to accept the order.

The so-called Junker nobility is the lowest noble title that a baron can appoint. It is more of an honorific title and not a formal title. But people with this title are generally people who are favored by the Lord.

The reason why Barron was appointed as the Lord of Knights and Captain of the Tower Dragon Knights was more to protect Lodi. With the investigation into Jack's death still ongoing, making Lody captain of the Cavaliers could easily expose his strength. After all, in the eyes of everyone, he was just an apprentice knight who learned the ways of knighthood from Barron and was passionate about hunting.

Once this order was given, Barron's role as teacher Lodi directly became a subordinate. One advantage is that you don’t have to pay the teacher’s salary.

Zemo came here specially this time. After talking for so long, he was already a little exhausted. It was already late at night, and seeing that the matter was almost done, he weakly waved his hand and asked Lodi to go back first. I'll start preparing for my appointment tomorrow.

After Lodi left, Ram stepped forward with a worried look on his face and asked Zemo softly: "Sir, do you really trust this Lodi so much? Is it too hasty? Do you want to observe it again. "

Zemo shook his head with difficulty and sighed: "He is the only junior who shines in my eyes. I don't have much time, and I may die soon. But I will never let George get the title of baron! Once he If he succeeds, he will definitely drag the Saren clan into the endless abyss. So I will do my best to help a younger generation. If he can kill George, no matter how he treats me, I will die without regrets."
