Chapter 2154 Banquet

In Magnolia 9989, Linley Baruch, the son of luck, was eight years old.

In general, the Magnolia Continent this year can be divided into six large forces.

The center of the continent is separated by the Warcraft Mountains. To the west are two multinational alliances, the Holy Alliance and the Dark Alliance, and to the east are the four great empires.

Wushan Town, the current territory of the Baruch family, is an ordinary town under the Kingdom of Finlay, the leader of the Holy Alliance.

Because of the low tax rate adopted by the Baruch family, the average level of residents in the town is quite good, and compared to other nearby towns, Wushan Town also has a sixth-level warrior named Hillman. The strong one.

But after all, it is just a small town. Apart from agriculture, the most common way for young people in the small town to get ahead is to join the army. However, they have Hillman, a sixth-level soldier as their coach. Compared with other small towns, For young people, they are much luckier.

"Uncle Hillman, thank you for your teachings over the years."

More than a hundred young people aged 17 or 18 stood respectfully in front of their instructors to thank them.

This year's autumn harvest has ended, and it's the annual military recruitment season. These more than a hundred young people are the ones who want to go out and fight in Wushan Town this time.

For Wushan Town, a town with a population of only about 5,000, the departure of more than a hundred important laborers is definitely a big event.

But when it comes to the courage and determination of young people to go out and start their own business, their relatives and the residents of the town are quite supportive.

As long as one of them can stand out, it will be of immeasurable benefit to the town.

Coach Hillman is the representative.

With the presence of Coach Hillman, a level 6 powerhouse, the nearby towns were all weak against Ebony Town.

And looking at these young people who are about to join the army and the underage children who are still undergoing training, their hearts are full of enthusiasm, and they wish they could go with them now.

For them, instead of living in Ebony Town all their lives, it is better to try their best to give it a try. This is an opportunity to truly change their destiny!

Just at this moment, a handsome man with a backpack and a gentle look appeared at the gate of the town.

The kind of robe he wears that is incompatible with the small town,

And that handsome appearance immediately attracted the attention of the residents who were seeing him off at the gate of the town.

"What a handsome young man."

"I haven't seen it before. He must be from outside."

"A person? Not a businessman, right?"

"..."

Wushan Town is an ordinary town. On weekdays, there are at most some traveling merchants coming and going. Occasionally, there are some adventurers who want to go to the Warcraft Mountains. Other than that, there are very few outsiders.

As for such a good-looking young man, everyone in the town would definitely know him. He must be from outside. I don’t know what he is here for.

He doesn't look like a businessman or an adventurer.

"I don't know what this friend is doing here?"

As the coach of Wushan Town and the captain of the Baruch Guards, Hillman also has the responsibility to protect the town.

He saw a strange stranger arriving, so he naturally stepped forward and asked.

"My name is Xu Yue. I am a sculptor. I am traveling around to find inspiration. I passed through your town and was very satisfied with the pastoral style here, so I plan to stay there for a while."

Xu Yue's gentle tone and Yang Yang's smile immediately made everyone nearby feel good about him.

He is what he is, he looks like a gentle scholar, and he is also an artist who is good at sculpture, so he is naturally welcome.

Immediately, some residents of the town introduced Xu Yue to the location of the only hotel in the town. If he wanted to rent a house permanently, he could also ask which ones he could go to.

Xu Yue also responded politely one by one.

Only Hillman frowned and looked at Xu Yue's neat and tidy body, and remained silent for a long time.

This world is not peaceful!

It is evident that a small town can select so many people to join the army. The battle between the Light Alliance and the Dark Alliance has never stopped. The thieves and refugees around are also very dangerous, not to mention the elusive monsters.

A person who can walk around alone in this situation is by no means a simple character, not to mention that the other person's body is not even stained with dust and mud!

However, Hillman is not troublesome. As long as the other party does not show any threat, he will only pay attention to the other party at most. If he dares to travel alone, he will have some methods of his own, so there is no need to think too much.

After all, this is indeed just an ordinary town. The only noble in the town is still very poor, and there is nothing that can arouse others' attention...

But the other party turned out to be a sculptor? You can talk to the master about this.

After all, the patriarch is also very interested in sculpture. He even learned it himself when he was young, hoping to learn a craft and earn extra money for the family.

It's a pity that he doesn't have this talent. The sculptures he carves are very average and cannot be sold for money...

…

"Mr. Xu Yue, this is an invitation from the head of my family. I invite you to have dinner with me tonight. You are the first artist to settle here in these years."

On the second day after Xu Yue arrived in Wushan Town, he had just bought a clean and simple small yard. Hillman, the town coach and captain of the escort team, came to the door in person and extended an invitation to Xu Yue. .

If Xu Yue just stayed in a hotel or rented a courtyard, maybe Hogg, the patriarch of the Baruch family in charge of Wushan Town, would be more reserved.

But Xu Yue bought a small courtyard for 300 gold coins without saying anything, and immediately attracted Hogg's attention.

The purchasing power of gold coins is very high. Usually, the average income of a small town resident is only twenty or thirty gold coins a year, and even a soldier who risks his life by joining the army only earns less than a hundred gold coins a year.

This gold coin was a large amount of money for the Baruch family, whose taxes were not high and could not make ends meet, but it was taken out casually by the other party.

This directly increases the importance of the other party.

Naturally, Xu Yue readily agreed to this invitation.

Hogg also attached great importance to this dinner. Although it seemed to be a last-minute emergency, he arranged for the kitchen to prepare roast suckling pig in honey sauce and other feasts. For a little noble in the country, especially one who was short of money, , which can be regarded as a relatively luxurious behavior.

At least when Xu Yue came to Baruch's house, he saw eight-year-old Linley Baruch and five- or six-year-old Wharton Baruch, both of whom looked a little greedy.

Although the Baruch family has declined, it is now in financial difficulty.

However, as an ancient dragon-blood warrior family, the patriarch Hogg still tried his best to maintain the dignity of the family. He also had strict requirements for his two sons in terms of etiquette and art.

Although the aristocratic robes he wore were a bit old, they were clean and tidy, and he had always maintained meticulous aristocratic etiquette.

Lin Lei and Wharton, the two little ones, also greeted Xu Yue in a decent manner.

"Haha, I took the liberty to invite Mr. Xu Yue over. Please don't take offense to Mr. Xu Yue. The main reason is that I am really curious..."
