Tribulation of Mysteries

Chapter 29:

The scorching summer came out of nowhere.

After a rainstorm, Aaron looked at the dark red potion on his hand and was slightly in a trance, “I finally succeeded.”

After an unknown number of failures, he finally succeeded in creating a potion that, when used slowly and in conjunction with exercise, should be somewhat beneficial the body.

“In terms of effect, it’s just about the same as some of the potions in my previous life.”

“And as it can’t break through the limits of human beings.”

“What kind of stuff have I made after spending so much time and energy?”

Aaron became slightly frustrated.

He realized that at some point his hair had grown to his shoulders.

After thinking about it, he pulled out his dagger and gave himself a quick haircut, then called for Daly and took a good shower.

“Get the Maester over here!”

After bathing and tidying up a bit, a refreshed and energized Aaron called Albert, the territorial Maester.

“My Maester, what major events have taken place in the territory recently?”, Aaron asked casually.

“Thanks to the blessings of the green grandmother, all is peaceful in the territory, Even though, there are some bad rumors in the prison, and there are people who fear that you, my lord, have been convicted of too many crimes…”

Albert’s fat face bore some concern.

“It is necessary.”

“But don’t worry, this kind of thing will become less frequent in the future.”

After thinking about it, he looked at Albert’s hair, which was turning a little white, and still uttered a word of relief.

“Your mercy is as bright as the stars!”

Albert hurriedly bowed and saluted, “In addition, your birthday is approaching, Gifts are already being delivered to the Sotos Castle.”

Aaron was stunned, he was born in the summer, on a night of lightning and thunder, but he hadn’t had many birthdays since as he got older he had pretty much been ignored.

Little did he know that once he became a lord, he would be taken seriously again.

“So do you think I should go back to the castle and organize a banquet?” Aaron asked casually.

“According to the custom of the Green Forest, once a family member becomes independent, the relationship with the original relatives wiil no longer be close.” Albert said as he wiped sweat from his face.

For some reason, he always felt that the majesty of this master he served was almost comparable to the Count himself.

“But this is your first birthday after becoming a knight, perhaps returning to the castle is not a bad choice.”

He politely suggested, “Besides, Lady Sylvie’s labor is approaching, and you need to prepare a gift.”

“That is true.”

Aaron nodded and suddenly smiled, “I should indeed return to the castle to take a look as well. It just so happens that the first batch of spring wheat has matured and can be used as a gift.”

…..

A few days later.

A caravan slowly made its way to the town in front of Sotos Castle.

It was preceded by a horse-drawn carriage, followed by many carts, and on the crates were sacks of wheat, emitting a fresh and enticing smell.

At the entrance to the castle, the carriage stopped and Aaron jumped off and stretched.

He took the opportunity to sleep on the cart for a while, using his [Danger Perception] ability.

Accompanied by the strengthening of each dream entry these days, although his dream body did not awaken any other abilities, his [Danger Perception] ability seemed to have increased.

His intuition was becoming sharper and sharper, and it was actually beginning to develop in the direction of ‘dream divination’.

“Am I being too paranoid?”

Aaron casually sent one of the guards to report, looking at the huge wooden gate of the castle and couldn’t help but think privately.

It wasn’t long before the gate opened with a bang and Theodore, dressed in a wolfskin coat, greeted him personally as he came out, “Our wandering son finally knows the way back home?”

Aaron bowed first and pointed to the box behind him, “I brought the latest harvest from the territory, I hope you like this gift.

“This spring wheat…”

Theodore stepped forward, took out a dagger, randomly pierced a pocket, felt the fullness of life of the wheat that flowed out, and could not help but be moved, “This is a good harvest, And there is only one ram in your territory, What is your average yield?”

As a lord, he also attaches great importance to agriculture.

“About 1500 pounds.”

Aaron smiled and replied, this can’t be hidden from others anyway, not to mention his own subjects brag all day long.

“Hiss”

He immediately heard Theodore’s voice as he sucked in cold air, “That much? Then you can earn 1000 nal at a time from your territory today.”

Green Forest didn’t have a native currency, and nal was also a monetary unit inherited from the Kagash Kingdom.

“It’s actually not that much, because I split the accounts with the farmers 50-50, plus the grain needs to be stocked up and can’t all be sold to the merchants, so it would be good to have 200 nal.”

Aaron shook his head.

“Fifty-fifty? You’re too kind.” Theodore instinctively frowned, “It doesn’t fit with your previous move to be strict with the law.”

“I believe that mercy and severity are like the two wheels of a carriage, on one hand, I give them full bellies, and on the other hand, I have to be strict so that they don’t dare to violate my laws.

This was practically all nonsense, just an excuse to find test subjects for himself.

Theodore wanted to say something, but in the end it turned into a sigh, “Well, do what you want, it’s your territory after all. Come in with me!”

He brought Aaron and walked into the middle of the huge castle, “You have come at the right time, thanks to the blessing of the green grandmother, Sylvie has just given birth to a baby boy, our castle will hold two happy events in a row, I think we can organize a tournament to celebrate. ”

The Green Forest is full of savagery and primitiveness.

For example, when it came to a time of great celebration, they liked to cheer themselves up with jousting and so on.

Later, under the influence of the civilization of the Kagash Kingdom, it became a more rules-based jousting tournament.

The winners were often handsomely rewarded, and it was said that in the Kagash Kingdom, the winner would be enthroned as a knight and might even be given a territory.

But in the Green Forest, that was impossible; at most, one would receive the title of warrior and a large sum of money.

Aaron strolled into the hall and immediately saw Lady Sonia coming out to greet him with Sean and Ginny. This lady now had a very friendly attitude and smiled at Aaron in greeting.

“Where’s Colin?”

Theodore looked around and said with some dissatisfaction.

“The young master is in the delivery room.”

The old scholar bowed, “Lady Sylvie’s condition after giving birth is not good, I’m afraid…I’m afraid the child will be motherless”
