Chapter 115 At Least the Daughter Is Still Alive
Deacon Roslin pulled Luna aside and questioned her carefully for a while before finally understanding the ins and outs of the matter. Of course, Luna did not reveal the details of the contract.
She was somewhat moved; just a few days ago, Lin Er could only be chased by the troll leader, but now he was able to kill him all by himself.
Although the troll lost an arm and its strength was diminished, the fact that even Knight Raymond couldn't deal with it proves that this guy is still not easy to deal with.
Roseline looked at Lin Er with admiration and couldn't help but urge him again, "Lin Er, are you really not going to consider participating in this competition for the position of vice deacon? I will report your achievements later and recommend you for the position of vice deacon in Blackrock City."
He was somewhat flattered; if he hadn't seen the result of the Heavenly Dao's calculations, he might have actually agreed.
However, this position of deputy deacon is very important to him. Choosing to compete in Blackrock City is risky, so it would be better to go to Watchtower City.
He waved his hand, his tone firm: "Steward, my mind is made up."
"Alright then." Roslin sighed softly, then added, "Although I haven't issued a bounty for you, there are rewards for killing Tier 3 bosses within the guild. I can authorize you to have an honorary knight title."
Lin Er looked curious and asked, "An honorary knight? Like Knight Raymond?"
"The Silver Shield family started as honorary knights and spent over a hundred years accumulating their current status," Roseline explained patiently. "Simply put, with this identity, you are eligible to buy land and even expand your own territory."
For some reason, he felt inexplicably tempted after hearing that he could farm.
Roseline added, "As for the elemental monsters you mentioned earlier, I will send people to investigate them later. Please wait a few more days."
Lin Er said in a deep voice, "I understand. Then I'll trouble you, Steward."
After saying goodbye to everyone, Roslin set off to visit Raymond in the village. Luna led the way.
"That annoying guy is finally gone."
Illulian pursed her lips, took out a notebook and handed it over, saying, "The lizard-human leader you mentioned is very cunning. It abandoned its entire tribe and ran away alone. This is the only thing I found in the apothecary."
That old lizard-like demi-human was indeed cunning, but his decisiveness to this extent was somewhat unexpected.
Lin Er was slightly surprised, but quickly realized it made sense.
He turned to look at the notebook that Illulian had handed him. The writing on it was very messy, and some parts were even paw prints. He couldn't understand it at all.
At this moment, a notification pops up:
[Unorthodox Elixir Recipe: An unknown recipe that can produce elixirs of varying quality. These elixirs contain abundant spiritual energy, suitable for cultivation.]
It turned out to be a recipe for a spiritual medicine, but the prompt didn't provide any specific recipe information. It seems that only things from this world can be used to refine it.
This is good news for him; the materials might not be so hard to find.
Lin Er withdrew his gaze and asked, "Sister Ilulian, can you understand what's written on it?"
Ilulian replied, "I can understand some of it, but the notes are very messy, and I'll need to spend some time organizing them."
Lin Er returned the notebook to Ilulian and said, "Then I'll leave it to you, sister."
Ilulian put away her notebook and asked, "Now that everything is settled, would you like to come with me to Fallen Moon Forest?"
Now that Flora has gone back ahead of him, he also wants to see how Flora is doing after she returns.
Lin Er thought for a moment and replied, "Let me give you some more instructions before I leave."
A few days later.
Raymond finally woke up. As a Holy Knight, his physique was indeed formidable. Although he had been beaten half to death by the trolls, he had managed to pull through thanks to his amazing regenerative abilities.
He clenched his fists tightly, his face full of resentment.
"Damn it, this troll's abilities are exactly what I need."
Raymond suddenly regretted it; he shouldn't have gone for the one-on-one fight.
If he had cooperated with those adventurers, dealing with the one-armed troll would have been a piece of cake. Among the extraordinary beings present, he was the only one at level three, and with a little planning, he had a real chance to kill it himself.
Even if some elemental power had to be shared, he would still get the lion's share. But what happened? He didn't get any benefits and almost lost his life.
It's too late for regrets now; he can only continue to recuperate to avoid any long-term effects.
Raymond turned to look at the bedside, where his son Gareth was taking care of him, looking extremely tired.
He was slightly surprised; Gareth had finally become more sensible.
At that moment, Gareth leaned closer and said, "Father, you're finally awake."
Raymond rubbed his temples, sat up in bed, and asked, "Was it the butler who killed that troll that day?"
Gareth shook his head.
Raymond looked puzzled upon hearing this. Logically speaking, the butler should be the first to arrive. If it wasn't the butler, who else could it be?
"Could it be that elven swordswoman named Ilulian?"
Gareth replied, "It wasn't her either."
"Who could it be?"
Raymond was increasingly confused.
Gareth slowly replied, "The deacon told me that it was Lin Er who saved my father."
Raymond was stunned, his face full of disbelief. "What! How could he possibly kill that troll? Could it be that the deacon is promoting that kid?"
Gareth continued, "Many people saw it; it was Lin Er who killed the troll all by himself and rescued his father."
Raymond's eyes widened. As the one who was being beaten, he naturally knew the troll's power better than anyone else.
He was still reluctant to believe it.
Are you sure?
Gareth sighed and offered no further explanation.
Raymond fell silent.
After a while, Gareth brought over the brewed medicine.
Raymond had no interest in drinking and told him to put it aside. He then asked, "How's it going with the deputy deacon? Lin Er should have been nominated, right?"
The competition for the position of Blackrock City's vice deacon is fierce, and Raymond, as one of the nominees, is naturally paying attention to the other nominees.
Raymond had been in a coma for the past few days, and Gareth had taken over gathering intelligence for his father. He replied, "Father, Lin Er still hasn't been nominated."
"Haha, he's so foolish to give up. Looks like I still have a chance."
Gareth's expression was a bit strange, as if he wanted to say something but hesitated.
Raymond noticed this and said in a deep voice, "Speak your mind."
Gareth took a deep breath and said, "Father, we just received news that a vice deacon has been parachuted into the guild. He is the senior disciple of Mage Morris."
Raymond's face immediately turned ugly.
So, all the resources he spent trying to win over the guild's higher-ups recently have been wasted this time.
Get your money back!
He clutched his chest and steadied himself for a while before he felt a little better.
"It's alright, at least our daughter is still here." Raymond changed the subject and asked, "Where did your sister go? She's reached the age to get married; it's time to find a suitable partner for an arranged marriage."
Although he had promised Luna that he would give her some time to find a suitable marriage partner, the loss this time was painful, and he needed to make up for it as soon as possible.
As for the promise—I hope my daughter can understand.
"This—" Gareth's expression became even more awkward, and he said cautiously, "Luna—I'm afraid she can't get married."
"What do you mean?"
"She publicly announced a few days ago that she had become Lin Er's personal maid. Now she's probably—from a girl into a young woman."
Gareth had barely finished speaking.
Raymond's vision went black, and he fainted on the bed from anger.
Gareth panicked immediately: "Father! Father, wake up!"
