After Ronin left, the government affairs of Hillwood Town were handed over to Wilson, the affairs of the castle were handed over to Chahar, the training of new guards was handed over to David, and the management of the entire extraordinary people was handed over to Elrond.

So Elrond has been busy lately.

On one hand, he had a large number of spell scrolls waiting for him to make, which would be delivered when he went to the Horse Herders City in December; on the other hand, he also had to give Irene a magic lesson in advance so that the little girl could get more exposure to the principles and requirements of making spell scrolls;

At the same time, he would occasionally check the work status of several new surrenderers who had joined Shanlin Town in preparation for subsequent assessments.

Recently, there was something that made him even more annoyed - a magical beast might have appeared in the direction of the ranch northwest of the town.

"Are you sure there's another sheep missing?"

In the evening, Elrond stood outside the sheepfold behind the castle, looking at the three shepherds who stood trembling before him.

They were all recruited by Roning when he first came to Hillwood Town. They have been working for Hillwood Castle for so long, so they can still be trusted. Besides, there is no reason for them to steal sheep and then report themselves.

"Didn't I tell you to change the grazing area? Why did you get lost?"

Elron rubbed his temples hard. For three consecutive days, he lost one or two almost every day!

He had asked David to take people to search the mountains over there, but apart from discovering a pool of suspicious blood, they did not find any valuable clues.

Could it be that the monster ate the sheep without leaving even the bones? "Respected magician, we have moved to a smaller hill to graze the sheep as you ordered, and the three of us have increased our patrols over the past two days, but we still don't know why the sheep got lost!"

The three shepherds were very panicked at this time.

Although the magician in front of them was very kind, and would lend a helping hand to paralyzed patients and injured farmers and use the holy light to alleviate their pain, they had already lost many sheep. Even if they didn't lose their lives, they would still have to pay a fine, right?

I wonder what kind of punishment the lord will impose on them when he returns.

"Mr. Elrond, what should we do now?"

Chahar was a little anxious. There were only more than a hundred sheep in the castle. Many of them had been consumed in several banquets, and there were less than a hundred left. If he continued to throw them away like this, they would be gone.

Elrond pondered and said, "If it was really done by a demon beast, it must be a creature that knows how to hide!"

When it comes to Warcraft, everyone is afraid.

It's not even winter yet, how come a monster has come down the mountain? "Fortunately, it only dared to attack the sheep, not humans."

Elrond was somewhat relieved.

He knew how much the lord valued his subjects, and even losing a few sheep was better than losing a strong laborer.

But as soon as he finished speaking, chaotic shouts were heard outside.

"Lord Elrond, hurry, save David!"

Elrond was startled. He recognized the voice of Thomas, the sturdy man among the Three Knights of Grey Earth.

He turned his head and saw a group of guards carrying David towards him.

"What's going on?"

Elron's face changed and he immediately walked forward. His heartbeat slowed down when he saw this.

David's face was pale at this time, and his clothes on his chest were all soaked with blood. The horrific injury made Chahar turn pale with fear.

David was one of the earliest people to follow Roning, and he stood out from the guards of Wushan Castle to become a professional knight, and was trusted by Roning.

If David died, Elrond really didn't know how to explain to the lord.

"What's going on?"

Elrond asked, casting a healing spell.

As several milky white rays of light fell on the wound, the bleeding slowly stopped.

"Sir, we found the monster that eats sheep!"

Everyone's mood sank. Although there were still four professional knights in the territory, they were all junior knights. Although there were two magicians, Irene, a junior magician, only mastered the water gathering technique, which was OK for giving the monsters a bath, but it was absolutely impossible for her to cause any harm.

Elron has high-level strength, but unfortunately he can only use auxiliary magic. If this monster is at a higher level, it will be difficult to deal with.

After several treatments, the bleeding from David's wound stopped completely and a scab formed, but due to excessive blood loss, he had not yet woken up.

Elron checked and said with lingering fear, "Fortunately, the monster didn't attack only once, and it didn't seem to use its full strength, otherwise David would not have just broken two ribs and left a few scars. Thomas, send him back to rest."

He looked at Dandy, "Dandy, did you see clearly what kind of monster that is?"

"I just felt that it should be quite big, with gray-black fur." ​​Dandy tried to recall and shook his head, "It was too fast. When I turned around, there was only its back."

With its large size and fast speed, combined with the claw marks on David's chest, it should look a bit like a monster like a tiger or leopard.

Generally, this kind of monster is difficult to deal with.

"Tell the people not to approach that area. We will drive a few sheep over there to take a look tomorrow."

Elrond thought for a moment and said, "If my light binding can trap it, then we will kill it! If not, then we will retreat directly and go to the Gray Earth Village to find Commander Redar or wait for the Lord to return."

Elron frowned slightly. It was already November 3rd. According to Ronin's previous plan, he should have returned in a day or two. Was there something that delayed him?

At this time, Luo Ning had already set up camp in the mountains more than ten miles away from Shanlin Town.

There are tents of all sizes set up in the woods, with bonfires burning inside and outside to keep the temperature inside from being too low.

It's not like summer now, the temperature has dropped a lot, especially when we get to the mountains, if we don't set up a bonfire and a tent at night and let them snuggle up to each other for the night, they might freeze to death.

Fortunately, this painful journey is almost over.

"Baron, I will return with the knights after I send you to Hillwood Town tomorrow."

Beside the campfire, Knight Galil said, "The weather will be even colder in a few days. If we are unlucky, it will rain and snow again, which will make it even more difficult for us to go back."

Luo Ning nodded. "I wanted to invite you to stay in Shanlin Town for a few more days. Since you insist, I won't say any more."

With Galil's knight squad escorting him, Ronin had no setbacks along the way, and even the wild beasts in the wilderness did not harass him.

After Luo Ning and the others ate a few bites of meat and drank a few sips of wine to warm themselves up, they went into the tent.

This return journey started on October 18th, and today is the 3rd. He has accumulated 180 attribute points. After consuming them all, his magician level has reached (318/400).

It won't be long before he can raise his magician strength to the advanced peak.

If he completes a few more achievements and obtains enough attribute points, he will most likely become a bronze knight when he returns to Wushanbao in December.

The bronze-level combat effectiveness of the dual professions should not be underestimated, so there was no need to worry too much if Roning revealed a little bit of his strength at that time.

Moreover, at that time, Roning probably had accumulated nearly 800 energy essences, which was enough to create a silver-level knight at one time, right? At that time, the top strength of Shanlin Town was sufficient, and they only needed to create another knight team to prevent the enemies outside from provoke them easily.

As for Thane Territory...

The Knight Feridon, who could have killed Ronin with just a slight swing of his sword, could only rank third or fourth now even if he joined Shanlin Town.

Even Baron Ronin, who is said to have been promoted to Bronze Knight, is no exception.

Along the way, whenever Galil was bored, he would look for McKen to spar with him. Even though the former was a bronze knight, McKen would not be defeated immediately and could still hold on for three to five rounds.

If McKeon is like this, then Riedal can definitely handle it.

To be honest, in Ronin's eyes, the threat posed by Lord Sean is no longer that great.

If the other party dared to touch him again, it would give him a reasonable excuse to attack him.
