The wizard starts by trimming the donkey's hooves

"Miss Jenny?" Renn was slightly surprised.

He didn't expect Jenny to come to pick him up in person.

It seems that the Crowley family takes his becoming a family guardian knight very seriously.

After a brief exchange of greetings, Renn followed Jenny onto the carriage.

Soon, the carriage drove slowly towards the county town. The driver's control was very good and the carriage was very smooth.

"Miss Jenny, have you heard of the 'Bat Market'?" Renne suddenly thought of it.

"Bat Market? I've never heard of this." Jenny looked a little confused, thought for a while, shook her head and said.

Ren nodded.

This situation is also normal.

It seems that this 'Bat Market' should be relatively hidden, not the kind that everyone can enter.

This is troublesome.

On this trip, I originally wanted to stop by the 'Bat Market'. One was to see if there were more wizard or witchcraft items for sale, and the other was to buy some items recorded in the 'Beast Taming Diary'. Some formula raw materials.

Jenny frowned and thought for a while, then said: "Sir Ren, maybe my mother will know about this 'Bat Market' you are talking about."

"If even she doesn't know, I can ask my friends."

"I think as long as it is within the city of Meister County, the Crowley family can definitely help you find a place."

Renn smiled slightly and said, "Okay, thank you first, Miss Jenny."

What Jenny said made sense. Indeed, he seemed to underestimate a noble's background and energy.

This couldn't help but make Ren's mood feel much better.

When the trip was halfway through, Janey seemed to have thought of something and said to Renn: "By the way, Your Excellency Renn, as usual, after you become the guardian knight of the Crowley family, we will provide you with a set of knight plate armor. weapons, and horses.”

"Of course, you can also directly choose gold coins as reward."

"I wonder which way you will choose?"

This actually made Renn feel happy.

Recently, he has indeed been a little short of money. The three hundred imperial gold coins he brought to the Habsburg Manor yesterday were basically spent. The weapons and plate armor of the main knights are big consumers of gold coins.

Especially high-quality weapons and armor, which are worth ten times or even dozens of times than ordinary weapons.

An ordinary militia iron sword can be purchased for only a few silver coins, and basically every blacksmith in a small town can make it.

But those long swords that can really be used in fierce battles, such as the half-hand sword currently used by the Night Watch, are more than ten times more expensive, with each one costing four to five imperial gold coins.

The stainless steel sword that Ren used before cost twenty or thirty imperial gold coins.

This shows how expensive good weapons are.

After thinking about it, Ren said, "Miss Jenny, if it's convenient, it's better to convert it into gold coins."

As for why you choose gold coins?

That's because Renn has basically made his own weapons. A 'Glimmer Giant Sword' is currently on his back, and although the two-handed war hammer has not yet been crafted, the raw material blood-patterned steel ingots are also ready.

In addition, the weapons provided by the Crowley family are most likely high-quality stainless steel weapons. To be honest, they cannot meet Ren's combat needs.

As for the armor

Although Renn currently lacks a set of knight's plate armor, he has already figured out how to get it.

As for the war horses, as Renn is currently the deputy public security officer, he can use the 'bus' - the war horses raised in the administration hall stables - for traveling.

If he raises his own war horses, firstly, there is no stable at home, and secondly, taking care of the horses is actually quite troublesome.

Jenny smiled slightly and said, "Your Excellency Ren, it's as I guessed."

Jenny then opened the brown wooden box on the side, took out a heavy leather wallet, and said, "Sir Ren, this is your reward for one year, five hundred imperial gold coins."

Ok?

Renn glanced at Jenny in surprise.

He really didn't expect that the money would have already arrived before he officially became the guardian knight of the Crowley family.

In addition, Renne also learned about the market price from Hamilton before, and to be honest, the price was much higher than he expected.

I have to say, this feeling of being taken seriously is still very good.

"Thank you, Miss Jenny." Renn immediately stopped refusing and thanked him after taking it.

Soon, the carriage arrived at the outskirts of Meist County.

Through the window of the carriage, Renn saw that more and more pedestrians and carriages were passing by, and a tall black and gray city wall lay in front of Renn's sight.

This is the first time he has come to the county town. The name of the county town is Meist, and the entire Meist County is named after this city. This is the case for many counties in the Dragon Empire.

When Wren rode the Crowley family's carriage and arrived near the city gate, he saw a long queue entering the city, splitting into two groups and queuing up at the small gates on both sides.

Judging from their clothing, most of these people should be civilians, mercenaries and businessmen. They are being inspected and paying fees to enter the city.

The main entrance, which is the most spacious, is empty. Even if there are a few carriages coming and going, they rarely stop and leave.

The carriage that Ren was riding in headed straight towards the main gate. When he saw the coat of arms of Baron Crowley's family on the carriage, the guards at the city gate wearing chainmail and holding spears soon gave it a warning. Released.

This simple thing fully reflects the privileges of the nobility.

After the carriage entered the city, what caught Ren's eyes were the bustling shops and streets, which looked much livelier than Goldsmith Town.

However, Ren could faintly smell a lot of strange smells, which seemed to be the smell of human excrement mixed with other odors, which made him frown.

It seems that this area should be a civilian area, and the health condition does not seem to be very good.

The carriage continued to drive for about half an hour, and after making one left turn and two right turns, it arrived at a villa area. The environment here was obviously much better than the civilian area they saw when they first entered the city.

The grounds are very spacious and tidy, and on the exterior walls of each independent villa, you can see a variety of carefully planted green plants and flowers.

Even though it's the frost month, there are still many cold-resistant flowers blooming, which are very beautiful.

As the carriage slowly stopped, Miss Janey smiled slightly and said, "Here we are, Sir Renn. This is the county seat of the Crowley family."

Ren nodded.

As soon as he got out of the car, Ren saw the plump and beautiful Baroness Crawley, who was waiting inside the entrance of the mansion with two tall knights and five or six servants. When he saw Ren coming down, he saw her beautiful face. A smile appeared on his face and he said:

"Your Excellency Renn, welcome to the Crowley family!"

"Thank you, madam, you are too polite." Ren immediately bowed slightly and said with a smile.

However, he was keenly aware that the two knights beside Baroness Crowley did not seem to welcome his arrival, and were even vaguely hostile.
