Chapter 29 Inspection, Gossip
The next day, it was the wizard Qiaolin and his wife.
This couple is very good at being good people, and they even brought Ronan special gifts, which were freshly baked apple pie and lamb pie.
He also enthusiastically said that he could go to their place to have meals frequently in the future, and he was very flattering.
Ronan politely invited the two of them into the house for a cup of tea. After seeing the couple off, he tasted the apple pie and mutton pie they sent.
I couldn't help but sigh, compared with Mrs. Qiaolin's craftsmanship, what kind of things does he usually eat!
On the third day, it was the turn of the young wizard Linus.
Ronan didn't see anyone, so he probably left without saying hello.
The fourth day is half-elf brother and sister.
Thinking of the lovely half-elf girl he saw at Potter's funeral last time, Ronan took the time to wait outside the tree house early, thinking that he could have a nice meeting, maybe talk to her, and get to know her.
As a result, after waiting for a long time, Ronan was disappointed for a while when a strong half-elf man with a cold expression appeared. After asking him a few questions, he left.
Day five.
Finally it was Ronan's turn to take charge of the patrol.
"Dharma precepts, one-handed sword, water bag, dry food."
In the hut, Ronan counted the things he wanted to bring one by one, and then put on his gray robe.
Originally I wanted to wear a light leather armor inside.
However, due to physical training, the body shape has changed greatly, and the leather armor left behind by the previous body no longer fits well, and wearing it is not conducive to movement, so he forgets it.
After leaving the hut, Ronan immediately saw Jacob, a fat blond man who was assigned to patrol with him, waiting under his old oak tree.
Ronan followed the vines down the tree, and Jacob, who noticed the movement, quickly came towards him.
"Good morning, Lord Ronan."
Jacob greeted Ronan with a hint of excitement and excitement in his expression.
"Good morning."
Ronan smiled politely at him and asked casually: "Have you had breakfast?"
"I haven't eaten yet!"
Jacob wanted to shake his head first, and then nodded quickly.
Ronan didn't bother to care whether he ate or not. Anyway, he asked politely and said directly: "Then let's get started."
"oh oh."
Jacob followed him closely like a lackey.
Regarding his first patrol, Ronan's attitude was quite serious.
He took out the patrol route map drawn by Old Wells and looked at it, thinking about the next arrangements.
Starting from his house, first go to the nearest home of Mr. and Mrs. Jolin, then the old Wells house, then visit the residences of Venetia, the half-elf brother and sister, Linus
all members of the small group, and add He went to patrol the activity area, inspecting water sources and material storage points
The whole process should be completed in two hours based on his walking distance.
But if you take Jacob with you
Ronan glanced at the fat blond guy who was following him closely, and his breathing was already getting heavier after just walking for a while.
“It will take more than three hours. ”
"Okay! 80% of the time you don't have to do anything today..."
Ronan shook his head and sighed in his heart.
In fact, the team does not stipulate how many times each group of people must patrol each patrol, and there are no fixed route requirements.
But patrolling is inherently a matter of luck. No one knows when and where the situation will suddenly occur, so Ronan thought it was better to do his duty.
Be responsible to everyone and yourself.
His initial plan was to run the map in his hand at least three times a day, once in the morning, afternoon, and evening.
If everything goes well, he should be able to squeeze out some time to do his own things.
Ronan thought as he walked, and unknowingly came to the first patrol point, the residence of Qiao Lin and his wife.
Qiao Lin and his wife's tree house was built in the middle of the entanglement of two trees. From the outside, it looked larger than Ronan's. The two of them paid a special visit last time. Out of politeness, Ronan decided to go up and say hello to them.
Unexpectedly, the couple seemed to have expected that he would come, and had been waiting at the door early. They welcomed them in with great enthusiasm and treated them well.
This was Ronan's first official visit to another wizard's home. He was a little embarrassed because he didn't bring any greeting gifts. He sat down and drank a cup of black tea before getting up and leaving.
On the other hand, Jacob, who claimed to have had breakfast, finished off a whole plate of raspberry pie that Mrs. Jolin had just baked, and was still burping when he left the house.
Calling Ronan was quite speechless.
Maybe he felt a little familiar with Ronan. When he came out of Qiaolin and his wife's house, little fat Jacob started to talk to Ronan.
"Lord Ronan, it is said that you are a rune master?"
"yes."
Ronan nodded casually. This was no secret. He had never deliberately concealed it.
"It's amazing!"
Jacob sighed, looking at Ronan with undisguised respect and admiration.
"In the tree house area, I have never seen a genius like you who became a fourth-level wizard and a rune master at such a young age."
"hehe."
Ronan smiled and didn't answer.
Jacob flattered him twice more, and suddenly asked cautiously: "Sir Ronan, do you have a teacher or inheritance?"
Ronan glanced at Jacob, "Why do you ask?"
"Because that's what Lord Linus is."
Jacob answered smoothly, "Lord Linus's teacher was a senior wizard apprentice. After his death, he left everything to Lord Linus."
Ronan was startled and asked subconsciously: "Where did you get this news?"
"Mrs. Barbara, a very beautiful witch, used to live there..."
Jacob pointed in a direction and said: "Half a month ago, she kicked away several of her past lovers and became Lord Linus's mistress."
After Jacob finished speaking, he seemed to realize that he had made a mistake and hurriedly covered his mouth.
Ronan looked stunned.
"No wonder that guy is so arrogant, and he is already at level 5 at such a young age. It turns out he inherited the mantle of a high-level wandering wizard."
Ronan couldn't help but ask Jacob if he knew the reason why the young wizard Linus moved to the tree house area.
At this moment, Jacob was hesitant and refused to speak clearly.
However, Ronan guessed that for a character like Linus who would even brag about his wealth to his bed partner, the news about his inheritance as a high-level wizard's apprentice leaked out, and he was targeted by some people with ill intentions. On.
Or he was simply forced by his enemies.
The secret about Linus revealed by Jacob inadvertently piqued Ronan's interest, and he began to take the initiative to chat with Jacob.
Unexpectedly, this guy Jacob is really a talent.
Although his strength is average and his talent is average, his ability to inquire about gossip is truly top-notch.
He knew everything about wizards in a large area nearby.
Which wizard had a secret affair with a certain witch? Which wizard's son was actually not his biological child? Some two wizards had an amazing sexual orientation. Billy Goat Together.
It was an eye-opener for Ronan. If it weren't for Jacob, he wouldn't have known that the wizard's life in the treehouse area was so exciting.
He even learned that Wells Sr. had a daughter when he was young, but unfortunately she died in infancy. He took good care of Venetia who lived by the tree spring, treating her as his own daughter
Time flew by with Jacob's endless gossip. Unfortunately, in the second half of the patrol, Jacob gradually closed his mouth due to lack of physical strength. He still had more to say to Ronan.
Pushing aside the thick cover of dead branches and leaves, Ronan carefully inspected the contents of the small tree hole in front of him.
Food, a few packs of hemostatic powder for treating trauma, a bottle of the lowest-grade antidote, and a brand new, unused signal box.
"Old Wells is really attentive."
Ronan re-blocked himself and sighed softly in his heart.
