Chapter 67

Master Shi Ren is a very famous little nobleman in "Neverwinter Town", and he is an old man who moved here 20 years ago. It can be said that he is a deep-rooted old noble force in the local area.

In rural towns with this era background, apart from the security officials who are the managers, the most powerful people are the local noble groups who live here.

It is different from Lin Jue who just moved here recently and has not actively participated in various social activities.

Master Shi Ren's influence on the local area can be said to be incalculable, and even the appointment of the magistrate has to be recommended by him.

This middle-aged man owns three food stores, five mills, two clothing stores, a bank, and about a thousand acres of arable fertile land, and his family lives in a luxurious mansion.

There are stables, gardens and other facilities in the mansion. There are also three cooks, two butlers, two grooms, dozens of attendants and more than a dozen different types of maids. It is full of cards in every sense.

And it was such an old aristocrat who opened his arms towards Lin Jue at this leisurely noon, and the small pocket watch with a pure gold casing on his chest shone dazzlingly in the sunlight.

"Hahaha! Brother Sherlock! It's the first time we meet, I've missed you for a long time!"

Master Shi Ren walked over in a hurry in front of the crowd, laughed and put his arms around Lin Jue, and patted him on the back hard.

"Hello, Mr. Shi Ren."

"Don't be so rude, just call me by name."

Master Shi Ren patted Lin Jue on the shoulder and led him to the middle of the venue.

Then he said loudly to everyone around him: "Everyone, everyone, please allow me to introduce my best friend, Baron Sherlock, who survived the catastrophe."

Clap clap!Clap clap clap clap!
Under the leadership of Master Shi Ren, dozens of gentry and ladies around applauded enthusiastically, and almost all of them looked at Lin Jue with surprised eyes.

After all, how should I put it, not long ago, the story of Baron Sherlock's resurrection has spread throughout Neverwinter.

Everyone knows that the baron not only did not die, but also healed miraculously.

You must know that the most lacking in this border town, which is as motionless as a landscape painting, is fresh talk. When the young and beautiful baroness moved in, it caused quite a stir.

It's just that at the beginning, "Baron Sherlock" was said to be weak and sick, so he didn't come out to see many people. He spent a long time recuperating in the room, but the first time he appeared was at the funeral.

So it's no wonder that all the participants in this hunting party looked at Lin Jue enthusiastically and curiously. After all, who doesn't like a legendary figure who survived a catastrophe? It's a pity that there is no scar on his forehead.

Of course, at first Lin Jue was a little in awe of other people, but under the leadership of Master Shi Ren, he quickly relaxed. After all, this uncle is too good at talking.

"Brother, this is the most famous painter in our town, Picasso, but none of his paintings seem to be sold, and people don't seem to understand what he is painting. I whisper, I don't understand either, But after all, he is the only painter in the town, so I still have to show some face."

"That's the store manager of the Baron Mei Taste Clothing Store, Ms. Annabelle, you should know her, right, you and your wife seem to have been to her store before, and then this crazy woman walked around the street after seeing you Lane once said that she is the king of chatter, no one in the whole town can chat better than her, except maybe me."

"There's also that little beard over there who's drinking, that's the little man with a bunch of weeds growing on his chin. He's the captain of the security team in our town. Can't you tell? He used to work in the capital. , was relegated to this ghost place because he offended a certain royal family member, but he is very capable or very capable when he is not drunk, although I haven't seen him sober yet."

From the time Lin Jue came to this meeting place, Master Shi Ren kept on introducing everyone to him, with many humorous descriptions in his words.

And the people he introduced were all smiling this way, or raising their glasses, or giving him the middle finger or something. In short, the scene was full of joy.

There is no doubt that Master Shiren is a hospitable master.

Although he has a high position and authority in this small town, he doesn't do anything to oppress the people. On the contrary, he gets along very well with everyone in the town.

You must know that in this era, nobles like Master Shi Ren who own a lot of land are a very important part of society.

Their sources of property mainly come from the rents and incomes of various lands and shops. Compared with those rich and unkind land lords who oppress everywhere, aristocrats with a little brain are more inclined to maintain a stable life of urban residents.

Because a long-term and stable life can make one's own property source more stable. Of course, in addition to these, there are also factors of reputation and sense of responsibility.

Take Master Shi Ren as an example, he acts like a mayor in the social relations of "Neverwinter Town".

In addition to participating in and organizing various local activities, he is also using his influence to help people get jobs or serve as "honorary sheriff", helping to maintain order in the town and so on.

In a word, Master Shi Ren is a warm-hearted and good person. But in this world, a good person does not necessarily have a good life.

So when the baron finally let go of Lin Jue, he ran aside to molested a good woman.

Jasmine, who finally took the time to bring a glass of wine, asked in a low voice, "What's wrong? You don't seem to see his expression right?"

Ever since Lin Jue got out of the car and saw Master Shi Ren approaching, his expression was a little tangled, which Jasmine could tell at a glance.

"Indeed." Lin Jue took a sip from the champagne glass, frowned and said, "Because this person may not be alive for a few days. I wrote it."

".He's going to die? Why?"

"Because of alchemy, he will die recently in a study by some lunatic alchemist."

Speaking of this, Lin Jue looked at Master Shi Ren, who was talking and laughing loudly among several nobles, with a trace of hesitation in his eyes.

In the world of "The Throne of Mysteries", the most frequent large-scale forces on the human side, apart from the weird people in the capital, are the forces belonging to the alchemists, also known as the "Holy Sanyuanhui".

The so-called ternary refers to "mercury", "sulphur" and "salt", or mercury, sulfur and salt.

To the alchemist, mercury represented the spirit, salt the flesh, and sulfur the soul.

The ternary aggregation forms all things in the world, and the schools of alchemists are therefore divided into three branches: "Mercury School", "Sulfur School" and "Salt School".

According to Lin Jue's original setting, few alchemists in this world are normal people.

Some of them fell into madness in the battle with the blood race, some fell into madness in the study of the human body, and some fell into madness in the pursuit of the unknown.

In short, the word alchemist is almost synonymous with madness.

And in this "Neverwinter Town", there is an alchemist very coincidentally. And she is also an exile who was expelled by the "Holy Trinity Society" because her research was too crazy. How powerful it is.
