Chapter 44 Competition (Part 2)

The price of medicine in this pharmacy is actually very cheap.

This made many townspeople who had been buying potions from Romon immediately change their choices. The reason is very simple, level 2 druid and level 5 druid, who should they trust?

In the case of the same cheap price, they naturally want to choose a high-grade one, after all, they feel at ease when they hear it.

However, when Nick came to look for Romon with a depressed face while holding the ledger, Romon smiled. He looked at some adventurers who still came to buy medicine in his shop, just smiled and said, "It's okay, just wait and see!"

Yes, although I suffered a lot of losses, most of the customers ran to the opposite side, but the time in the future will still be long!

Romon, who grew up in the commercial atmosphere of the earth, thought deeply. In the space, the second batch of medicinal herbs are growing luxuriantly. After another two months, they may be able to harvest again.

All the herbs are self-sufficient, equal to free, this profit is not comparable to Jaffa, maybe, it should be improved...

In early spring, not only is the weather cold, but the arrival of heavy snow will also cause various inconveniences to many people. It is really not a happy thing to cancel something that has been planned because of the weather.

On this morning, Lord Baron, the lord of Rika Town, was in a very bad mood. And this bad mood that has continued since the morning is because of the heavy snow.

He originally planned to go to a party at a nobleman's house 80 kilometers away today, but the traffic was affected due to the heavy snow.

Now he can only look at the account book on the table depressedly, and sulk at the same time.

"My lord baron, here are the judicial records for this month, and I brought them here for you." Judge Galen stood in front of him cautiously and said flatteringly.

"Oh, put it down, let me take a look." The baron nodded, and asked the other party to put a thick stack of account books on the table.

After flipping through a few pages casually, he showed a bored expression.

"Why are there so many fights?" The baron frowned.

Magistrate Galen quickly explained: "Master Baron, I don't know why, the number of adventurers is increasing rapidly, so bumps and bumps are inevitable. According to the law, they have been fined, but..." Adventurers are not For ordinary townspeople, this punishment is unavoidably soft.

"Forget it, they are willing to fight, let them fight, anyway, it is not our business to die..." The baron, who knew that he was powerless to control this situation, said loudly .

"Yes! Yes!" Judiciary Galen secretly blamed himself for passing such bad news. At this time, it was too late to regret, so he could only say yes repeatedly.

When you are in a bad mood, nothing is pleasing to the eye.

This is common to all, even the Baron. At this time, he always felt that the other party's submissive appearance was really annoying.

The baron waved his hand with a bit of disgust: "Okay, okay, go down, leave these to me first, if there is anything wrong, I will ask you to come over."

"Yes! Yes! Then, my lord baron, I'll go first. You are busy." As if receiving an amnesty, Judge Galen hurriedly saluted, and then backed away with a flattering smile.

It wasn't until his body exited the lord's study that the judge let out a sigh of relief.

In fact, the officials in Lord Baron's territory are basically related to Lord Baron to some extent. However, since they both come from aristocratic families, the difference between the direct line and the branch line is quite large.

The judge's family belonged to a remote branch of the baron's family, so far away that if he hadn't come to work in the baron's territory, the baron would not have known such a person as him.

However, no matter what, he was also a member of the branch of the noble family. As soon as the judge came out of the baron's study, he straightened his clothes, straightened his back, and adjusted his expression to his usual indifference.

this expression,

represent their identity and temperament.

After adjusting everything to the most perfect state, the judicial officer walked outside.

"Yo, isn't this the magistrate?" A voice suddenly sounded.

"It's the tax collector, you're here too?" Looking up, he happened to see the tax collector coming in from the corner door, and the judicial officer Galen also greeted with a smile on his face.

"That's right, don't you want to show the baron this month's account book? Why, you just came out?" the tax officer Bakar asked with a smile.

"Yeah, since you're going to see the baron, I won't waste your time. Go in quickly. I still have something to do, so I'll take a step ahead." The judicial officer also smiled, and then walked away from the tax officer. past.

"Things that only flatter." Looking back at the judicial officer's back, the tax officer muttered disdainfully, and then walked in quickly.

At the same time, the judicial officer who had already walked out also turned his head and glanced at him. The resentment in my heart caused by the baron has long since disappeared, replaced by gloating.

"Go, go, and let you taste the baron's anger."

The thing is, even two people who look good on the surface may be secretly competing.

Although the judicial officer and the tax officer are both distant branches of the baron's family, due to some conflicts of interest, the two always agree with each other.

Although it is not likely to cause major disputes, they are happy to do it occasionally to make the other party unhappy.

Talking about the tax officer, although he felt that there was something in the judicial officer's words just now, but today he came here with a purpose, so naturally he will not retreat.

Before coming to Lord Baron's study room, he was reported first, and then walked in cautiously.

"My Lord Baron..."

"Oh, it's Bakar, are you also here to deliver the account book?" The Baron asked indifferently.

It's no wonder that he is like this, he has to look at the account books every month, and the data has been maintained at a certain level. Anyone who looks at it for a few years will find it boring.

However, when he opened the account book this time, the data that appeared in front of him lifted his spirits.

"It's increased so much this month?" The baron thought he was wrong, but after a closer look, he was right. He looked suspiciously at the tax official standing in front of him, with a very puzzled expression.

The tax officer quickly explained: "Master Baron, the reason why the tax revenue has increased a lot this month is because there are several times more adventurers in the town this year, spending a lot, and two pharmacies have been opened in the town... ..."

The baron thought for a while, and it was indeed the case. He looked at the account book in surprise, and asked, "How can a pharmacy make so much money?"

"Yes, that's true. I was also surprised to see this number!" The tax officer nodded, with a sneer in his heart: "However, the main thing is that Romon's store makes money. This kid is talented and kind. , even Miss Alini praised him a lot."

When the baron heard about his second daughter, he immediately became interested. "Really? A newly promoted druid, what can she praise?"

"Lord Baron, you don't know that a young and promising boy like Romon is handsome, talented, diligent, and has good ideas. Many girls in the town like him."

The tax official said with a smile.

Upon hearing his words, the Baron frowned immediately.

The tax officer watched from the side, and a smug smile immediately appeared in his eyes.

Yes, he came here this time just to say this passage.

The relationship between him and Romon is actually a small conflict, but this small conflict at the beginning has become bigger and bigger, and now it has reached the point where it is almost impossible to reconcile. Seeing this young man grow faster and faster, he has almost The other party offended the dead tax official and couldn't hold back anymore.

Originally, in the early days of Jefa's shop opening, he still had illusions, hoping that Romon's shop would be crushed by the other party. Unexpectedly, only one monopoly was removed, but Romon's store still had a considerable profit.

Jiefa is also a person who has always been sarcastic. It is really not easy to start with him. After all, they are both druids, so there is still some sympathy.

Therefore, the baron became the target of the tax collector.

In fact, in the matter of the second lady, he didn't think that he was framing Luo Meng. After all, the second lady's affection for Luo Meng is obvious to all, although it may not be because of love.

However, the tax officer has dealt with the baron for a long time, so he knows how to speak is the most effective.

With a casual tone, he inadvertently gave the baron the illusion that Miss Alini also liked Romon, which was exactly the effect he wanted to achieve.

What he said just now, although he didn't say it directly, Miss Alini also likes Romon. However, he first mentioned that Miss Alini had praised Romon, and then pointed out that many girls in the town liked Romon. In this way, the baron will naturally have an illusion.

And this delusion is enough to kill Romon and knock him from heaven to hell.

Sure enough, he frowned, and the Baron, whose mood improved after reading the account book, darkened his face again, and stared at the account book for a long time without saying anything.

It wasn't until the tax officer was a little tired from standing that the baron waved his hand to let him go down.

Now that he had achieved his goal, the tax officer naturally didn't want to stay for a long time. He saluted politely, and then withdrew. It wasn't until he confirmed that he was the only one left in the room that the baron completely broke out.

"This thing!" He threw the thick account book on the ground roughly, and then, he sat on the chair, squinted his eyes, and muttered non-stop.

"Romon!" After a while, he calmed down the anger in his heart, and then took out a gorgeous gold-edged invitation card from the drawer.

This is an invitation from Viscount Ludsey. In terms of title, the other party is a viscount, higher than him, and has a territory of 250 square kilometers, which is more than twice that of a baron. Moreover, it is a relatively wealthy territory. In terms of economic gap, it is at least ten times that of a baron.

But he was old enough to be his nephew.

And the reason why such a young and promising nobleman invited him, a baron from a remote and desolate fief, to a banquet was not because he had a beautiful and intelligent daughter.

The second lady, Alini, is now a second-level priest. For her age, this is already very remarkable. After all, at the fifth level, she can preside over a medium-sized temple in the city.

And she is still so young, has a bright future, and more importantly, she is still so beautiful. Since meeting her by chance at an internal church gathering, Viscount Ludsey has frequently expressed his kindness to him.

At first this flattered him, but after a long time, a bold idea appeared in his mind.

Since her daughter is so outstanding, then naturally only such a promising noble young man can be worthy of her. Therefore, the baron absolutely cannot tolerate her daughter favoring a druid now.

Even if that Romon's talent is excellent, what's the use of having a good talent? Are there still few talented people in this world? But in the end, how many can really become strong? Moreover, even if one becomes a strong man in force, how much weight does one have in this world where there are so many strong men?

According to the lord's investigation, that Viscount Ludesi not only has a very strong family background, but his family also has a very close relationship with the Church of the Goddess of the Earth.

This is not an ordinary viscount, but a descendant of the goddess of the earth, the Holy Spirit. For a priest, being able to have such a relationship with the church is really a very beneficial thing for future development.

What's more, the church's sphere of influence in this world is not limited to the clergy. Maybe some small and medium churches are not strong enough, but even the kings of various countries have to lower their proud heads when facing the powerful church of God.

Therefore, he wants to make his daughter as outstanding as possible, and then combine her with this nobleman, so she has a deeper connection with the church—unexpectedly, such an unpleasant thing happened.

"Romon!" In fact, before, the baron admired this young man quite a bit, but now, after walking a few steps in the room, his face gradually turned blue.
