I'm an Aristocrat, but I've Started a Farming System - Chapter 141

c141 Master Roland

In the corner, Miles bit into the black bread hard and complained: “I’m surprised, since your master is a master, why the bread baked is so bad.”

Willy was old and his teeth were not as sharp as Miles’s. He could only tear off small pieces and eat them little by little. He could not explain what Miles said.

Just yesterday, the two chose to enter the bakery, thinking of asking in person.

Master Roland seemed to have recognized Willy, and his attitude was extremely bad. Moreover, Miles just said a little bit that the bread was not selling well, and he was scolded. Not only did Miles take the money away, but he also threw it to Gave them two pieces of bread that were as hard as rocks.

Miles used to eat black bread a lot. His family didn’t have much money, so the black bread he ate tasted very bad, but compared to the bread baked by Master Roland, it was actually pretty good.

“You said before that Master Roland stopped me and pulled me out, preventing me from asking him. What happened?” Miles asked.

“Master, he told me that he is under surveillance now, so don’t show that we know each other.” Willy explained, “Wait until tomorrow, and he will find a way to leave and then meet again.”

Miles was stunned for a moment, thinking about yesterday’s conversation. It seemed that the other party didn’t say anything except scolding them. You can actually hear the meaning. You are truly worthy of being the master’s apprentice.

He didn’t ask any more questions, just stared at the bakery not far away.

As time passed, a group of people suddenly appeared and kept shouting.

“It’s this bakery. I got upset after eating it.”

“That’s right, it almost hurt me to death. I have to pay for it.”

“Usually, it’s okay that bread tastes bad. We’ll buy it because it’s cheap, but you actually add something to the bread. This is intolerable.”

There were about a dozen people who came to the bakery, all holding their bellies and looking pale. It looked like they must have had a lot of stomachaches last night.

The door of the bakery opened, and a short, bearded man with a fierce look on his face walked out.

“Why are you shouting? Why do you have the nerve to come here to make trouble when you have no money? If you had money, you would buy bread from other companies. Why are you here!”

The man’s voice was loud, and it had a penetrating ability, coupled with his arrogant expression, it immediately ignited the anger of everyone present.

“It’s your bread that’s the problem. Why do you have the nerve to accuse us?”

“Yes, if something happens to us after eating your bread, you should pay for it. If you don’t pay, we will destroy your shop.”

“Haha, let’s see who dares. A bunch of ungrateful people, get out of here.” The man was not afraid at all.

“You dare to scold us, let’s rush in!”

Not far away, Miles looked at them and said faintly: “You are a very powerful master. You are so arrogant that you are not afraid of being beaten.”

Willy shook his head, “That was intentional. Master, he wanted to use these people to cause trouble and leave in the chaos.”

“Oh, how did you tell?”

“Because one of the people making trouble is the master’s apprentice, and I know him.”

Miles: “.”

After the troublemakers rushed into the store, there was a sound of smashing, and the movement here also attracted the attention of other people, who came to watch the excitement.

As more and more people gathered, Miles saw a short, clean-faced man emerge from the crowd and run towards the distance.

“Let’s go, your master ran out.” Miles said.

“Huh?” Willy was surprised.

“That is, your master is really powerful, and he even thought of cutting off his own beard.”

Two people followed.

Roland ran to the forest outside the town, found a marked tree, dug out the linen bag from under the tree’s roots, patted the soil on it, and carried it on his shoulders.

“Master!” A voice came from behind.

The person who came was none other than his apprentice Gino, who had been following him for so many years. Although he had no talent, he was quite clever. It was with his help that the plan could proceed smoothly.

“You did a good job just now, let’s go.”

“Aren’t we waiting for Willy?” Gino wondered.

“Why wait for him? I don’t know what he is doing here, but we can’t implicate him. There are many people watching us. It’s too dangerous.”

“So you also know the danger!”

A joking voice sounded from the tree.

Then, a figure jumped down and landed on the ground.

“Isn’t it a bit too funny to do these tricks in front of an assassin?”

The speaker was a man holding a dagger with a sarcastic face. He was arranged to monitor the other party here, but he didn’t expect to see a scene.

Roland protected his apprentice and looked at him, “I knew someone was watching, but I didn’t expect it to be an assassin. I’m curious, what are you going to do? Since you know who I am, why do you let me stay here instead of Captured?”

“I don’t know who you are. I just accepted the mission. Now are you going back on your own initiative, or are you going to let me force you to go back?” The assassin kept turning the dagger in his hand.

Roland was confused, but he didn’t want to be trapped here anymore and took a step forward.

The assassin saw his actions and smiled: “Is this your choice?”

He completely disappeared, and when he reappeared, he was already behind Gino. The dagger pierced his body, and blood flowed down.

“You!” Roland was extremely sad and angry when he saw Gino fall, “Let him go, I’ll go back!”

“It’s too late.” The assassin pulled out the dagger.

Suddenly, there was a sound of wind behind him. Before the assassin could react, the knight’s sword penetrated his body and hit his heart.

The assassin looked at the blood-stained sword in disbelief, turned his head, and said, “How could the knight attack in a sneak attack?”

Miles pulled out the knight’s sword, added another sword, and then said: “Who said that knights can’t sneak attack, as long as they win, any method can be used.”

When he followed the lord to attack the Lone Wolf camp before, the lord had said something similar.

Miles never abides by the virtues of chivalry. Unlike Jack, he sees these virtues as limitations.

After shaking off the blood on the knight’s sword, Miles came to Gino, took out the recovery potion and asked him to drink it.

“It should be fine!”

“Thank you!” Roland looked at them and said.

“Master.” Willy’s face was full of doubts, “What happened to you? Why are there people watching and killing you?”

“I don’t know, but now is not the time to talk. We’d better get out of here as soon as possible.” Roland shook his head.

“Follow me to Ash Town. It’s safe there, and the lord respects us.”

Roland hesitated.

Miles said: “Don’t think too much. Let’s talk about anything on the way. I think someone will come over.”
