Chapter 12 Free People
Baron Rons Castle.
Bertina was facing a middle-aged man about 40 years old and talking about Brandon's promotion: "Father, do you remember the Jason Druid's recruitment of apprentices a few years ago?"
Obviously Bertina has learned that Brandon has become a druid apprentice.
Of course, the Baron remembered this. He wanted to send someone to the Magister Guild and had to pay a lot of money to learn spells. Suddenly, a druid came over and said directly that he wanted to recruit several apprentices. Such good things were not common, so he sent all the relatives and children of the same age in his subordinates to the druid for testing. Unfortunately, all the children did not succeed. Then he handed the matter over to the government officials, and the government officials seemed to have responded.
Baron Rons chuckled as he thought about this: "Of course I remember that when Jason Druid came to me and told me to recruit apprentices in the territory, I was a little surprised!"
Bertina also responded with a chuckle: "Father, the seeds you planted in the past are now harvested, and new legal positions have appeared in the territory this year."
"You mean that the apprentice at that time had become a formal druid? Who was it?" Baron Rons was a little surprised. Although he was not a knight or a profession in the law, his second daughter was a genius priest at level 3. His family has been passed down for hundreds of years, and his knowledge about power and rules will always be carefully preserved. Naturally, he knew that in three years he had changed from an ordinary apprentice to a formal druid, with extraordinary talent.
"You guessed it again!" Bertina smiled and handed a parchment scroll to the Baron, "Father, this is his information."
"Branton?" It seemed that it was such a name. The Baron recalled the reply from the government official, but it was not important. The Baron, who looked at the information, said to himself: "Is there a talent for refining potions, is he 15 years old?"
"Father, he is already a formal professional. Have you signed the document and given him the identity of a free citizen?" Miss Bertina suggested.
"Then give it!" For this daughter, the Baron even favored her more than his youngest son, and giving a professional free citizen identity is itself the will of the kingdom law and the will of the gods. However, the Baron also had some questions about his daughter's active helping Brandon obtain the identity of a free citizen, but the Baron did not think much about it.
"Thank you, father." Bertina gave a lady gift a naughty gift.
When his daughter went out, Baron Rons sat in a chair and processed another document. After a while, he frowned and looked outside the door: "Come Captain Det! Come quickly. Wait... Come find Shillor, the Interior Officer, too."
"Yes, sir! I'll do it right away." The housekeeper answered outside.
"Yeah, go!"
When Captain Det arrived at the castle, the Baron was waiting for him.
When he saw Captain Det, the Baron was not polite and asked directly: "Knight Det, what are the movements of the goblins in the forest recently?"
As the only knight in the Baron's territory, Squadron Captain Det was responsible for the security of the entire territory while leading the Baron's army, so he has been paying attention to this matter.
"Sir, we have eliminated a total of about 200 goblins these days. If we look at the situation in previous years, even when the food is harvested this year, even if the goblins come to grab the food, they will not be very large." After saying that, Det added with some uncertainty: "But something strange is that the number of adventurers who started to be injured yesterday was a bit large, and after receiving the mission, many of the adventurers who should have returned to the town did not come back. However, the ears of goblins sent to receive the rewards have not decreased. There are even rumors that those goblins abandoned their tribe and walked towards the outside of the forest, but some adventurers said that goblins were migrating deep into the forest."
When the Baron heard this, he frowned: "As you said, the situation is indeed a bit abnormal. Have you sent someone to investigate the situation?"
When encountering such an unexpected situation, be careful and it is always good to find out the truth of the matter, the Baron thought to himself.
DeTrunk replied: "Sir, I have asked someone to call Chester over and prepare to take him to the forest to check the specific situation."
Baron Rons was obviously satisfied when he heard Det's answer. His originally frowned and slowly stretched out: "You are doing well, Det Knight, tell me immediately if there is any news."
"Yes, sir!" Det bowed his head and saluted.
At this time, the housekeeper came in: "Sir, the Interior Official has arrived. Will he be invited in?"
"Let him come in." The Baron nodded.
"Sir! What are your instructions?" The government official Shillor bowed to the baron.
"It's about Jason Druid's apprenticeship. I heard he advanced to the druid!" Baron Rons didn't say anything more.
"Sir, I only learned yesterday that Jason Druid's apprentice Brandon has advanced to Level 1 Druid. I heard that he was helping to refine some potions for treating minor injuries in the temple." Interior officials Shillor thought for a while and added: "Branton was an apprentice selected by Jason Druid among the children in the town three years ago. At that time, all the children of the right age in the town participated in the selection, and only he was selected by Jason Druid."
...
Today, Brandon still completed the preparation of the drug for treating minor injuries in the morning. He refined the drug three times and successfully succeeded. He read a book in Klein's Medicine Garden in the afternoon.
Of course, he wanted to obtain the status of a free citizen.
In this world, the free people can travel freely in the kingdom, while the lord's people cannot. Just like Brandon before, he was a citizen of Baron Rons, he could move freely in Baron Rons' territory as long as he did not violate the law. If he left Baron Rons' territory, there would be various problems and would even be sanctioned by the laws of the kingdom.
The standard for becoming a free citizen is also very clear, that is, having your own land and enough to support yourself, and not becoming a tenant of the lord or others.
Or maybe although there was not enough land, he had enough money to buy freelance identity documents from Baron Rons by paying.
Now Brandon has advanced to the Druid and become a free citizen, which is already a requirement of the law. Under the requirements of the law, although the lord can delay, Brandon also does not want to delay if he does not appear in Baron Rons.
What's more, even if he wants to go to other territories to do business, he doesn't have the capital to do business. As for adventurers looking for opportunities to make money everywhere, it's not in Brandon's current plan.
Now he has a storage space. Even if he can't find other functions in the future, he can become a wealthy businessman by saving some capital and relying on the convenience of carrying goods by relying on the space in the future.
