Warhammer Divine Throne

Ryan thought that although Teresa promised that she would treat everyone equally, it was impossible for her to change it immediately. This woman was only willing to do it for herself Some changes that's all, if you don't really encounter setbacks or get slapped, her concept of in the bones won't change too much.

Let’s do this now, it’s not a matter of a few words to reverse a person’s perception of through childhood.

After listening to the story for a while, Ryan seemed to be leaving. At this moment, the old woman suddenly said: "It's Mr. White Wolf Knight Ryan? Please hold your steps? I have something to ask."

The children all turned around, looking at Ryan with immature eyes, afraid to speak.

"You taught these children valuable knowledge, what do you want to do?" Ryan did not agree, he asked rhetorically.

"They are all good children. They will grow up in the future. Most of them will not be able to pay for the awakening innate talent. They will continue to work for the noble lords, or they will grow their own land. When you are twenty-thirty years old, try your best to save some money, find someone who can spend your life with yourself, then get married, have children, and then grow old in a hurry while raising children. I’m here to teach them, it’s just I hope there will be a little more way out for their future, am I right? Lord Ryan'Sledgehammer'?" The old woman was smiling, and the wrinkles on her face were squeezed into a ball.

"I appreciate your generosity." Ryan gave the old woman a Knight gift. In this era when knowledge is monopolized by the nobles, she can generously share knowledge just to let these children One more probability in the future, this noble move is admirable.

The children gradually dispersed. Ryan got a stool and sat down, expressing that he would like to hear what Nora’s request was. Teresa was standing behind Ryan: "Please Come on, lady."

The Sorceress seemed awkward to say this, but she had promised that Ryan would treat everyone equally, so she forced herself to do so.

"As you can see, I am already a fifty-something old woman." The old woman's hair was already gray, and she laughed to herself: "But once, I was like this Young Lady. Beautiful young woman."

Theresa frowned subconsciously, and the female warlock thought that even if her appearance would not change in another fifty years, she didn’t say anything at all, because the queen of this old woman Half a sentence she still agrees, from the eyebrows, it can be vaguely seen that she should not be bad when she was young.

"Are you a nobleman before?" Ryan immediately thought of something.

"Yes, I used to be a nobleman, but bankrupt noblemen like me are not uncommon on the mainland. Am I right? Mr. Ryan?" The old woman's face remained unchanged, her tone of voice was unchanged. Very stable, there is a kind of indifferent to see through the world.

Ryan nodded.

It is not uncommon for aristocrats to go bankrupt, because there are always stupid and clever ones, some who can and cannot do business, and some aristocrats do not know how to make a living, so they rely on taxation of their own land as the main In this case, the nobles will go bankrupt and flee, and all their land will become wasteland, or they will be redistributed to others by their superior nobles.

Because some lands will be occupied by powerful wild creatures or monsters after they are abandoned, some lords are unwilling to spend their military and energy to re-development of this land.

The new empire has been established for more than one hundred and fifty years, and the nobles have also distinguished themselves. In recent decades, the number of bankrupt aristocrats has gradually increased. Bankrupt aristocrats like old women are not uncommon. Especially in this high-risk environment, a large number of nobles without strength and ability are eliminated.

So what does this old woman want to say?

"So, Mr. Ryan, would you like to hear my old lady tell a story?" The old lady's eyes were full of hope.

"Of course, otherwise I won't stay here." Ryan nodded.

"Well...well...when should I start talking about it? Let’s start from when I was a kid. I was born in a noble family. When I was born, my family was no longer good. There is only one estate left for the whole family, about seven or eight kilometers away from Millaudon Haven." Nora's eyes began to loosen, and her mouth couldn't help but smile: "At that time, my parents were there. There is also a big brother, living a happy life."

"But when I was fifteen years old, a half-elf bard came to the manor, and he happened to come home. I stayed overnight. His handsome appearance and elegant conversation quickly attracted me. So, during the few days he spent the night at home, he and I fell madly in love." Nora looked fascinated, as if back. In the best days.

"Unfortunately, the good times don’t last long. You know, the bard doesn’t stay in one place for a long time. Soon, in a few days, he will leave our manor and go to the next place. , I couldn’t accept that my happiness was so short, so I made a crazy decision." The expression on the old woman’s face gradually became painful and obscure: "I decided..."

"You decided to elope with him ?" Teresa immediately guessed the ending of the story. Although the sorcerer lacked experience in wild adventures, she was proficient in court affairs and the rumours within the nobility.

"Yes, I know I’m doing it wrong, but at that time I couldn’t think about it when I thought I was going to be separated from him. So, the night before he left, I secretly took it. After leaving my dowry and choosing to elope with him, we left the city by boat together."

"In the first few years, because I brought a lot of belongings, I was young and beautiful. The relationship between me and him is like glue, like a fish back in water, and spent several years of happy time."

"It’s just that the good times don’t last long, the money will always be spent, and my appearance will be too. It fades because of time. Half-elf’s time is different from ours. After more than ten years, I began to age gradually, and most of the dowry I brought was used up. I could feel that he was starting to get tired of me and no longer like me. I don't need me anymore."

Normal, most men are like this, Teresa thought in her heart, women must be self-reliant, not exist as a man's vassal.

"So one night, I left him and set foot on the way home alone. It took me several years. When I returned to my hometown, I found that everything had changed. "After I eloped, my father mother looked for me like crazy. After spending a few years he didn’t find me and died in depression. My big brother is not a good manager. Guy, he quickly lost his possessions. Within a few years, the manor was attacked by a manticore. The manor guard organized by the big brother was unable to fight this terrifying monster. He also died because of poisoning."

Needless to say the old woman, Ryan and Teresa can think about it. After the father mother and big brother died, Nora, who has a weak claim, inherited the manor as it should be by rights. Ownership, in fact, she has also obtained the land deed from the Lord Earl of Miloddenhaven.

The problem is that this manor has now become a manticore's lair, and Nora definitely has no way to drive away the manticore on his own.

"Have you never found the Church of Justice?" Ryan knew what the old woman was asking for.

"I have looked for it, but justice requires a price. Manticore is not an ordinary monster. After investigation, this manticore is an elite Peak monster. I can’t pay the price given by the Church of Justice. So I can only find a corner in the city, relying on some of the past savings and teaching people to make a living, and then relying on memories to live." Nora sighed, and the wrinkles on the old face seemed to deepen a bit.

"Then why do you think I can promise you to help you drive away the manticore?" Ryan became interested.

"I don’t know, maybe it’s intuition, maybe it’s just my naive thoughts. The fact is, I really can’t get the corresponding reward." Nora sighed: "This may be the last time I tried hard. , If you don’t want to, Mr. Ryan, just listen to a story. The old lady still has some savings. It shouldn’t be difficult in a few years."

"I promised." Ryan suddenly said with a smile.

"What?!" The old woman raised her head in surprise.

"I said, I agreed." Ryan nodded: "Don't worry, I am not doing it for nothing. I will get my own reward, but the money will not come from you. , Next, you do as I said."

——Dividing line——

After bidding farewell to the old woman, Teresa asked curiously: "What do you plan to do? Not for nothing? But where does the money come from?"

Ryan laughed, and lightly said his thoughts: "First of all, I will revise a book and notify Earl Albert as the kingdom Knight. , Said Nora’s manor was haunted by monsters. In this case, the earl must have said something. According to your information, Albert is not a lord who likes to send troops. The manor is already lost and lost. If there is a property owner, then the most likely situation is that he will send someone to post a notice on the bulletin board and offer a reward for someone who can solve this problem. This is the first income."

The sorcerer understood immediately. In the face of Ryan's questions and warnings, Albert, as the lord, must have expressed something, so even if it is to pretend, a reward for prevarication must be required, and then the income will definitely be there.

"Then, Ms. Nora will go to the Life Church alone, and she will promise to the Bishop of Life Church that if her estate can be recovered from Manticore, she will pay tithes to Life Church "Ryan both hands crossed near chest, and said the second step.

"For the Church of Life, there is a barren field that cannot be cultivated. This is blasphemy. It is the ultimate goal of the Church of Life to make all the farmland pay tithe. Therefore, the bishop of the Church of Life has no reason to refuse, but Nora The lady gave me a reward for not showing up." Teresa’s eyes brightened: "So if I am a bishop, I will post a reward. If the reward is successful, then the commission paid by the church can be paid from Ms. Nora in the future. If no one completes the reward, the church will not lose anything! But for Ms. Nora, her manor had no income at all. If she could pay tithes in exchange for it Her own estate, she must be willing."

Ryan stretched out his second finger: "So, this is the second income."

"As for the third, Don’t forget, the manticore is a treasure, and many precious alchemy materials come from this ominous beast......"

"It’s Dietlind’s elder sister! She is definitely willing to buy a suitable one! The price is to buy these alchemy materials from your hands!"

"So, the sum of these three incomes is enough to invite me to dispatch." Ryan stretched out his third finger and looked at it with a smile Teresa: "Theresa? Tell me, did you learn it?"

The answer to him was a sexy bearing and charming temperament's white eyes: "I invite the two of us."
