Chapter 28: Another Spirit of Nature?!

“I am the second son of Earl Angry Bear of the Blue Moon Principality.”

Rex spoke in a tired tone. He did not intend to resist anymore. After all, he had already lost, and he did not want to die.

“The Earl’s second son. Well, this background gives me a sense of familiarity with you.”

Alan ate a piece of roast meat and drank a mouthful of wine.

“What is your purpose?”

Alan continued to ask.

“Your spirit of nature…… Don’t look at me like that. My goal is very simple. It’s your Spirit of Nature. Originally, I didn’t plan to come to Rose Town. After all, this has always been a poor town.”

“One of the spies that we left here years ago, that’s right, it’s the one you killed. He told us that Rose Town is different now. A young Lord has come, and he has two spirits of nature. That’s why I came to Rose Town.”

“Just……”

Rex’s tone became a little excited. He gritted his teeth and said, “That trash actually dared to deceive me!”

“No, he didn’t lie to you.”

Alan shook his head. “He probably told you about the change in Rose Town, but he didn’t say that I have a group of powerful warriors, nor did he say that I have magical beasts.”

“In fact, he didn’t even know about that. It was just your own bad luck.”

Alan chuckled. “Since you took a detour and came to my place, I’m very curious. What was your original goal?”

“There was no clear goal. I was just going to rob some rich places.”

Rex shook his head and said.

Alan frowned slightly and couldn’t help but wonder if Rex and the other pirates’ goal was really just a simple robbery?

He instinctively felt that something was wrong.

“Alright, looks like you are not useful to me anymore. Thank you for your cooperation.”

Alan gave a look to Marco on the side, meaning to finish him off.

Marco froze, then bowed his head to Alan and said, “My Lord, he is a nobleman and the son of a big family. I think it would be better if we asked his father to pay a ransom for him instead of killing him.”

Alan was very surprised when he heard this. “Well? Is there such an operation?”

Although he had been in this world for sixteen years, he had always been in the Earl’s territory. He had never seen a war, nor had he come into contact with such matters. Naturally, he didn’t know.

“Yes, My Lord. The Earl does this quite often.”

Marco said quietly.

Alan decided to exchange Rex for gold coins at once.

However, he had to let his cheap father control this. After all, a mere Baron was not enough to negotiate with an Earl.

Furthermore, it was better for the Earl to do such a hateful thing.

Thinking of this, Alan waved his hand and asked Rex to look up.

“Aaaahhh, I’m not going back. Don’t make me go back! Please, don’t make me go back!”

Rex’s face was covered in tears. It was not easy for him to come out of that small basement. He really didn’t want to go back to that nightmarish basement that was still emitting a disgusting stench.

It was horrible.

“There are quite a lot of requirements for a captive. Hurry up and take him away!”

Alan said calmly. Soon, the poor Baron of the Blue Moon Principality was stuffed into the basement by Marco once again…

Although Alan didn’t find out anything of value, at least he knew that Rex was worth a lot of gold.

He had already come up with an idea.

First, he was going to wait for the business road to be opened. After that, he would obtain his third Spirit of Nature. Then he would prepare to return to the Earl’s territory.

There were two reasons for this. The first one was for the main task of recruiting people.

Second, it was to tell the Earl about Rex’s action because Alan felt that Rex’s actions had something to do with the Blue Moon Principality. Of course, the ransom was also one of the reasons.

These two things were forcing Alan to go to the Earl’s territory.

Originally, Alan wanted to wait until his territory was completely developed and he had enough strength and wealth before returning to Earl’s territory. It seemed that he could not wait that long.

A day later, Alan received the system notification that the business road was open and he gained three thousand experience points and a Pea Nature Spirit.

Alan took Marco with him and directly rode out of the castle as soon as received the system notification.

“What is it again, My Lord?”

Marco was extremely concerned about Alan’s every move.

Every time Alan made a move, he would be shocked.

He didn’t know what was going to happen this time.

“Ah, nothing. It’s just another nature spirit that is waiting for me to collect.”

Alan was already very calm about the spirit of nature. Although these little fellows were extremely beautiful and noble and they were able to create huge amounts of wealth, Alan had stopped caring about them since their numbers had increased.

But just because he didn’t care, it didn’t mean that Marco also didn’t care.

This calm and steady knight’s body swayed, and he almost fell to the ground.

Another spirit of nature?!
