Chapter 221: Chapter 184 Fran Guard, Bed City Ambassador
Count Charon wants to see ?
This news really took Dal by surprise, how did he get involved with Count Charon? The only interaction they ever had was because of the rewards for the Val City incident.
He didn’t have a very profound impression of Count Charon, mostly hearing about him through other adventurers.
It was said that Count Charon once stayed with a Gold Level adventurer team for a while, but was kicked out because he couldn’t keep up with the team’s strength. Since then, his dreams of poetry and distant lands were shattered, and he could only return ho to inherit his family’s wealth.
However, inheriting family wealth was not such an easy matter.
Although the second young master Wild was close to him and posed no threat, the third young master Sali was fiercely competitive with him, and their father Philip seed to favor Sali a lot.
Just as he was desperately searching for a way to break the deadlock.
As if blessed by the heavens, the Sain Dungeon went berserk, killing Count Philip, and Sali, believing he didn’t have the right to inherit the family since he couldn’t persuade his father from implenting those unreasonable policies, also left ho and has been unheard from since.
In a short period of ti, Count Charon’s situation took a dramatic turn, rendering him dumbfounded for days.
It was not until the other mbers of the Bed family clad him in his father’s favorite luxurious coat, used for grand appearances, and he received the official confirmation of his title from the King, that Count Charon finally ca back to his senses.
He beca the Earl!
Happy with the success of being addressed as "Lord" instead of "Young Master," Charon even happily jumped around on Philip’s grave.
With just these experiences, he would have been just a "luckily noble" in others’ words, but the series of actions he took after inheriting the family business successfully earned him favor among adventurers.
Most comndable was his subsidy for those who purchased Teleportation Crystals.
The higher the adventurer’s level, the larger the subsidy!
This tangible material benefit quickly captured the hearts of nurous adventurers, and praises for him gradually appeared in the streets and alleys.
Afterward, Charon proposed that all constructions in Bed City should revolve around the developnt policy of Sain Dungeon, firmly binding the interests of the Bed family with the Sain Dungeon.
It proved to be a correct policy, as the dungeon industry’s series of profits were rapidly making up for the family’s deficits, and maybe in a little more ti, the Bed family could return to its previous scale or even develop further.
As for the Blood Essence and Blood Healing Potion industry, Charon maintained them as is without much investnt, largely to appease the King.
Adventurers depend on the Dungeon for their livelihood, and so does Charon; in a way, they stood on the sa front.
Therefore, adventurers generally had a higher regard for Charon than for Philip, and although Charon didn’t play much of a role in the Battle of Val City, his act of charging at the forefront also earned him a wave of favor.
Dal’s assessnt of him was that of a lord who knows his duties and is capable.
If Charon can maintain his current state without becoming seriously ill, the Bed family will surely thrive.
Dal thought carefully and felt that the only thing that might have caught the other party’s attention recently was the establishnt of the Fran Guard.
Perhaps Charon wanted to finance them?
With questions in mind, he tidied up a bit, with the help of his companions from the Fran Guard fixing his hair and clothes, and wearing formal attire he was not very accustod to, he went to the Lord Mansion.
At the door, he encountered soone unexpected.
"Is it you?" Dal looked at Luluwo in front of him, "Were you also called by the Earl?"
"Yo, good day," Luluwo greeted with a smile, serene and graceful, perfectly fitting people’s imagination of a powerful, elegant, and beautiful woman when she isn’t being abstract.
Dal decided not to comnt on how this person managed to combine the earthy greeting "Yo" with "good day," a phrase typically used by noble ladies.
After exchanging a few words and learning that she was also invited by the Earl, the two entered the Lord Mansion together.
"Earl Lord is waiting in the workshop for the two of you, this way, please."
Following the guard, Dal felt puzzled.
Workshop? Why et there, don’t nobles usually prefer receiving guests in their study?
Moreover, why is there a workshop inside the Lord Mansion?
When they arrived at the destination, Dal thought that this so-called "workshop" might be better renad as a "collection room."
That said, what kind of noble collection room would have such things?
The room was filled with items familiar to Dal.
In the corner was a Big Pot that looked exactly like the Warrior Pot, and a smaller Little Pot, with colorful wreaths hanging around them.
The walls were adorned with heads of classic monsters from Sain such as Gollum, Crow Man, Curse Frog, and other parts distinctive to various Monsters.
Beneath these monster specins were various weapons, and Dal understood at a glance that these were all Combat Skill weapons.
These things looked quite normal, but what remained made Dal’s expression turn odd.
There were two sets of Fran Undead Team Armor replicas? The craftsmanship was so detailed it could pass for the real thing, and beside the armor were a series of Undead Team thed products: statues and weapons of various sizes, paintings and badges with the Undead Team’s emblem, and even thed underwear?
