Rena was lying in the crown of a large tree, hidden in the dense foliage. She focused her attention on Baron Keane's manor in the distance.
She was an adventurer, and because she had inherited a special bloodline, her eyesight was shockingly good. She often took on scouting and spying missions, and had a bit of a reputation for herself.
Not long ago, she had received a long-term mission to investigate Baron Keane's territory and gather as much information as possible. The more and more detailed the information, the more rewards she would receive.
This mission would be settled once every ten days. Although the person who paid was not willing to show his face, and only the Adventurer's Guild would settle it for him, the money was very generous. Rena did not want to meet her employer to avoid being silenced. This was perfect.
However, it was not easy to gather enough valuable information. Rena had already handed in two missions, and it was really difficult to find new information now.
For example, she had already been hiding in the tree outside the Baron's manor for two days, but apart from confirming everyone's residence and habits, there was nothing else.
If possible, she did not want to sell this as information. After all, this kind of information did not look like it could be used for anything other than assassination. Baron Keane had a good reputation, and was very powerful. The previous Baron had even carried the corpses of his friends back from the bloody battlefield of "Sun's Death Day". She definitely did not want to become enemies with such a person.
Adventurers sought wealth, not excitement. Reina had an elderly father and a young sister-in-law. She had roamed the pugilistic world for several years and had not even gotten married yet. If she were to get into trouble and lose her life, it would be too much of a loss.
So she secretly decided that if she could not find any valuable information today, she would go to another place to investigate.
The sun gradually rose, and when it was almost noon, Rena looked through a slightly secluded study window and saw the previous Baron Keane reading some documents.
The previous Baron was a legendary figure. Back then, he was just an ordinary scholar who could write one or two decent poems, that was all. But after he became the Baron, all sorts of interesting stories happened one after another. First, they were poisoned and on the verge of death, then miraculously saved. Then, they carried out a drastic purge in the territory, and almost all the spies that had infiltrated the territory were caught in one fell swoop. Next, he went to the Void Mask amusement park. It was said that he was there to recruit people, but in the end, he won the legendary "one gold coin" grand prize. With a huge sum of money in his hands, he began to promote the agricultural reform of the territory.
If it had been anyone else, it would have been a complete legend. But to him, this was only the beginning of his legendary story.
Just when everyone thought that Baron Keane would lead his territory and his people forward, because of the internal strife of the upper echelons of the Duchy, he was sent to the Eagle Kingdom to support them in a battle of life and death with the orcs. The war that followed was truly earth-shattering. Both sides suffered hundreds of thousands of casualties. Even the earliest human God, the God of Knights, fell because of it. But in that terrifying battle, not only did Baron Keane return alive, he even brought back the corpse of his dear friend, Spencer.
Not only that, when he was injured and sick, he actually killed the enemy who tried to kill him on his way back!
Rena was very curious about this legendary figure, especially about the documents he was looking at. So after a little hesitation, she activated the ability of the bloodline inheritance.
Her pair of light gray eyes turned silver in an instant, and there was even a faint glimmer of light emitting from her eyeballs. If it were dark now, perhaps these eyes would be as conspicuous as two small light bulbs.
And when this change happened, the scene in her field of vision suddenly became larger, as if she had suddenly come to the study, and was right next to the documents in the hands of the former baron, looking at them carefully.
It was a document about the military training expenses, as well as the preparation for actual combat training in the near future.
Because of the angle, Rena had to concentrate in order to understand the documents that were placed upside down to her. So she did not notice that the former baron had stopped flipping through the documents in his hands. He raised his head with interest and was looking in her direction.
[Rena, Strength 12, Constitution 12, Agility 14, Perception 20, Intelligence 12, Charm 12, Reputation 60, Profession: Ranger Level 5, Scout Level 5, Warlock Level 0, Friendliness 60, Special bloodline activating]
Crick didn't have Rena's special bloodline, but he had the ability to see a person's attributes. And the distance between him and Rena at the moment was just within the range of the ability to be activated.
In fact, Crick had discovered Rena hiding in the tree yesterday. It was just that he felt that this person's friendliness with him was not low, and it did not seem like she was an enemy, so he ignored her.
No matter what this person called Rena wanted to do, as long as there was no change in the friendliness, it had little to do with him.
He smiled, lowered his head again, and focused on reading the documents.
The territory had not been able to recover from the huge loss last time, and now he was busy with all kinds of work. As the lord, he had to work harder.
This small interlude did not hinder his work. After reading all the documents that needed to be commented on, he called for the attendant to hand over the documents that needed to be sent back. Then, with his hands behind his back, he slowly walked to the military camp to see the situation of the army.
The recruits had been training for almost two months, and it was time for them to try out actual combat.
The military camp was built next to the baron's mansion, and it could be said that they were neighbors. It didn't take long for him to arrive at the barracks. He saw thirty new recruits under the command of Shawn James, the second son of Knight Howard James. They were wearing heavy armor and lined up neatly. They were meticulously practicing their spear thrusts.
Seeing his arrival, Sean smiled slightly, but did not immediately come over to greet him. Instead, he let the soldiers rest for a while before coming over to greet him.
"Sir, you're a little early today," he said. "The daily training hasn't been completed yet."
"I'm just here to see the situation of their training," Crick said with a smile. "Not to mention anything else, this team is very neat. When they thrust their spears together just now, it was also quite neat. "
Sean nodded. "Indeed. I originally thought that they were not strong enough, and their combat power was not good. But now it seems that this kind of honest and obedient people also has its advantages. At least they train hard, and their movements are very neat. In actual combat, they should be of great help. "
"Then, are you interested in letting them try it out in actual combat?" Crick said. "Recently, a group of Gray Goblins appeared in the nearby mountains, and there are about 20 to 30 of them. It's a little dangerous to let those guys settle in front of our house. I intend to try to lure them out and ambush them. If you think it's okay, you might as well let them be the main force. "
Sean lowered his head and pondered.
Gray Goblins were a subspecies of Goblins. They were slightly stronger, but their reproductive ability was not as strong. But for humans, as long as they were evil and violent Goblins, all species were the same. There were only two kinds of Goblins: "alive" and "dead."
As the commander of this recruit, Sean was quite clear about the strength of his subordinates. They had to defeat 30 Gray Goblins. In theory, this was the maximum number, and it was never wrong to underestimate the enemy. It should not be a problem. The problem was the losses.
If the losses were too great, it would not be worth it.
After thinking about it again and again, the brave young knight finally made up his mind. He raised his head and said firmly, "Then let them attack! Soldiers who have seen blood are good soldiers! "
