Chapter 119: Promotion to Baron

"Even though I have only been here three months, my life here is many times better than before."

"I heard that a warrior academy will be opened next year. I hope the tuition fee will be lower and I can send my children to study."

Listening to the noisy exchanges in the tavern, Lester was chatting and laughing with the people around him while quickly collecting information.

From noon to evening, when he left the tavern, he felt that the visit was over.

"It seems that the other party doesn't need me to make concessions to make time. Then it's up to the other four people." Lester stretched and looked at the darkening sky and said to himself, "It's really easy. The next few days will be perfect. It’s free time.”

In the next few days, the other four people returned to report to Lester one after another, and the results they obtained were surprisingly consistent. All they had to do was wait for the arrival of the large team, go directly to the process, and participate in the review.

In mid-October, the reviewers sent from the kingdom arrived at Qixing Lake, and Weilin personally led people to greet them in Qixing Town.

As the main members of the review team, Lester and the other five people had already changed into official uniforms, rode on white horses, corrected their attitude, and headed towards Qixing Town.

At this time, a knight looked at the oncoming review team and whispered the report in Baird's ear.

"Is it true?" Baird turned to his subordinate and asked.

"It's absolutely true. You asked me to pay attention to outsiders in the past half month. The prosecutor in the review team has been drinking in the pub a few days ago. Four of his subordinates were also detected by his subordinates and are now in the review team."

"It seems that what the Lord said makes sense."

Afterwards, Baird came to Verin's side and reported in a low voice.

Verin signaled to Baird, and then rode a red phosphorus horse to greet him: "Inquisitors from the kingdom, welcome to your arrival."

Leicester rode forward and said to Verin with a smile, "Sir Verin can manage the wilderness so richly. He is really young and promising."

"You're welcome, this is the responsibility a pioneer should fulfill."

"Sir Verin happens to be here, how about we start the review work now?" Lester asked his subordinates to bring a form and said to Verin.

"Since the prosecutor said so, I am naturally willing to listen." Verin said gently. "The prosecutor is such an interesting person. I really want to make friends with you and have a glass of pine wine from the Adventurer's Tavern."

When Lester heard this, he showed no embarrassment and said calmly: "Hahaha, Sir Verin is very interesting. I can't wait."

"Of course, let's get started."

Upon seeing this, Inspector Lester asked the other four persons in charge to follow Verin's subordinates to the Lake of Praying Stars to investigate.

As the boss of the review team, Lester wrote the silver high-level knight in the lord strength column and handed the document to the record officer.

"You won't test my strength on the spot." Verin shook his sword and said to the prosecutor Lester.

"Sir is powerful. He led thousands of provincial troops in Lumen Nanshan and defeated the elite monster clan army that came north from the border of Serop. His strength is obvious to all, so why should I come to check again? It doesn't seem a bit unnecessary."

Verin looked at Lester carefully and commented: "You are somewhat different from the rumored censor."

"It varies from person to person." Lester said generously. "For Jazz, who has proven himself in the war, he is naturally not comparable to ordinary pioneers. As for those pioneers who are just trying to confuse the public, they must naturally Investigate strictly."

"Now that the business is done, how about going to the Adventurer's Tavern for a drink?"

Seeing Weilin mentioning the Adventurer Tavern again, Lester said without any stage fright: "It's just right. I haven't drank it for a few days and I miss the pine wine."

In this way, the subordinates of both parties were busy with the review, and the bosses of both parties met in the pub to drink and relax.

"Where is Mr. Examiner from?"

In the tavern, Verin raised his wine glass and clinked it with Lester, and asked with a smile.

"My hometown is in Dorais County, Ilia Province. My family has been in the military for generations. The highest honor belongs to my second uncle, who is now a knight of His Majesty the King's Guards."

"Awesome, there are thirty-six members in His Majesty's Guards Knights, and all of them are leaders in the soul level. It is really a very high honor for your second uncle to be one of them."

"Where there."

Hearing Verin's praise, Leicester couldn't help but feel a little proud. At the same time, he had a very different feeling about this kid from a big family.

"Is there any change in the rules for the Blazers to be promoted to Baron this year?" Verin took this opportunity to ask Lester.

Lester looked around and whispered to Verin: "Sir, you should know about the monster attack that broke out last year."

"Could it be that something went wrong during the frontline war last year?" Weilin had some suspicions in his mind, but still pretended to be ignorant and asked the prosecutor.

"Sir's political sense is really keen." Leicester finished the glass of pine wine and continued, "Last year, the western border was attacked by monsters. Most of the baronies used as border posts were vulnerable, and there were even many The first thing a nobleman does when encountering a monster is not to resist, but to run away.”

"His Majesty the King was furious and scolded these losers for losing their brave spirit. For this reason, he deprived many nobles of their titles and publicly executed some nobles with no background in the royal capital."

Verin took the wine from the bartender and poured it for Lester himself: "Why haven't you heard about this?"

"This kind of thing cannot be publicized, and these nobles were executed for the crime of poor combat performance. This happens every few years in the kingdom, so the news has not spread on a large scale, but starting this year, His Majesty the King personally ordered to revise the rules for pioneers to be promoted to barons."

"In the past ten years, I am afraid that few noble children have returned to the west to open up."

Hearing this heavy news, Weilin felt relieved. It was a little different from his own guess, but the result was almost the same.

"Then it seems that your work as an inspector will be much easier in the future." Weilin poured wine for Lester again and raised his glass to him.

Seeing this, Lester raised his glass and clinked it with Weilin, and smiled bitterly: "The reduction in affairs means the reduction of personnel."

"Brother is so talented, why don't you come to work for me."

"No thanks." Lester waved his hands and said, "I can't go against the family motto. I appreciate the good intentions of the lord. With the relationship with my second uncle, it is still no problem to stay in the inspection department."

"That's a pity." Weilin said with great regret.

"Come, have a drink. It's a great blessing to meet you today." Lester raised his glass to invite him.

Weilin also raised his glass and chatted while drinking, gradually changing the topic from politics to gossips about the nobles of the kingdom.
