In the year of 1142 of the Dawn Calendar, on the tenth day of the third rotation month of the harvest season, Baron Ernst led the Baron's study in the town's lord's mansion.
"Five days later, Qiu Hunting? Let me go together?" Looking at Baron Ernst sitting behind the desk in front of him, Rhode asked Lao Dou with a look of disbelief and a look of thinking that he had heard it wrong.
Rhode, who had just decided to find a few unlucky guys in the Gods game space to build spiritual coordinates again, woke up this morning and just finished morning exercises and breakfast, he was called to the study room by his father for discussion. Rhode, who thought there was something important, heard his father's words and asked him directly to the study room.
Autumn hunting!
This is a traditional aristocratic program passed down from the five northern countries!
Or to put it more accurately, it is to take advantage of the three months of the harvest season that all living things eat when they are fat and thick in order to survive the cold wind season. In the entire autumn hunting process, it is equivalent to a special gathering, allowing the nobles and the younger generations who are about to become adults to know each other and strengthen their relationship.
Rhodes had never participated in autumn hunting before. In addition to his lack of interest, the regulations that the aristocratic heirs must be at least fifteen years old to participate in autumn hunting are also an important reason - hunting those ferocious beasts in the extreme northern mountains or those primeval forests. If they do not reach a certain level of strength, it is hard to say who hunts whom!
Of course, Rhodes is not willing to participate in this kind of autumn hunting now. After all, he is busy with the affairs and martial arts practice in the game space of the gods. There is still time to spend a few days or even more than ten days to participate in an autumn hunting? If you have this free time, Rhodes might as well consider how to arrange more spiritual coordinates and practice more!
"Rod, you are no longer a child, don't lose your composure..." Looking at his son's surprise performance, Baron Ernst, who was sitting behind the desk, said with some dissatisfaction, and a hint of helplessness appeared on his face.
He was very satisfied with Rhodes, his eldest son Baron Ernst, not only because he was quite excellent in physical fitness. After the courage trial, his progress from being lowered from Gray Iron to Gray Iron in more than two years (he didn't know Rhodes' current situation) surprised everyone, including Baron Ernst, and his performance in psychological quality and combat skills was also praised.
However, the only thing that made Baron Ernst a little dissatisfied was that Rhodes acted too casually in private occasions and had no etiquette of being a noble, so it would not be an exaggeration to say that he was quite childish - if Baron Ernst was also a reborn time traveler on earth, he would probably understand Rhodes' psychological situation.
"Rod, as the first heir to the Ernst family, you should know more about the friendly family inheritors around you, and you should also consider your personal situation now..." Baron Ernst, who was thinking about it, saw that Rod didn't speak, sighed a little, and continued to explain the relevant inside story to Rod.
Well, Baron Ernst's meaning is very obvious. In addition to knowing people and making connections, he also signaled Rhodes to consider his personal situation. In addition to the nobles and heirs and the descendants who are worthy of training, the most attractive thing is the noble ladies who join in the fun and the daughters of the noble families.
"Uh..." Although he understood Lao Dou's words, Rhodes didn't know what words he should use to answer Lao Dou's questions now, and the expression on his face became extremely exciting.
It is true that Baron Ernst's considerations are very perfect. There is no problem in making friends with nobles, expanding connections and considering the lifelong affairs of his eldest son. But for Rhodes, he is only less than 15 years old in his life? Is it too early to think about the lifelong affairs at this time? If he did not dare to think about it in his previous life!
Although Rhodes knew that ancient men and women got married very early on Earth (it was said to be only twelve years old at the beginning...) and now he is reborn in this magical world, the question is, will he get married at the age of fifteen?
"Don't worry, you just go to the autumn hunt with me, get to know more about other nobles and show the strength of the next generation of Ernst's heirs! There is no requirement for you to do what you must do..." When Baron Ernst saw his son's entangled expression, he thought for a moment and could not help but smile on his face, and then he told Rhode with a serious face how unnecessary he had just worried.
For the magic world where strength is the most important, the qualifications and strength shown by Rhodes themselves are the most important. As for communication and other aspects, they only need to be able to pass. And the nobles who are most practical will not mind Rhodes' flaws - they will only pay attention to the strength and potential shown by Rhodes!
"That's it... I understand, father!"
After hearing his father's explanation, Rhode, who finally breathed a sigh of relief, nodded and agreed. After talking for a while, Rhode turned around and pushed the door and left the study room.

In the study room
"...Moner, do you say I should send Rhodes there?"
Seeing his son turn around and leave, Baron Ernst's face calmed down and lowered his head as if he was thinking about something. Then, after about a few minutes, Baron Ernst looked at the old butler Monel who had been acting as an invisible person beside him, and asked the old butler Monel with a complicated look.
As the steward of the nobles, he has always been the confidant of various nobles. Mont, who has served the Ernst family for generations, is also the confidant of Baron Ernst. Therefore, Baron Ernst sometimes asks for his opinions, and Mont has the qualification to warn his lord or express his own opinions and opinions.
"Master, Master Rod's future is in your hands and you. Maybe you should ask for the opinions of Master Rod..." Listening to his Lord's inquiry, the old housekeeper Monre, who also looked at Rhode's growing up, looked respectfully and half-bending over, and then whispered his opinion to his Lord.
Monster is very smart. As a housekeeper, he also understands his position on such matters. Therefore, he did not take his own initiative to give Baron Ernst any opinions on handling them. Instead, he reminded Baron Ernst not to ignore Rhode's opinions!
"...Yes, this kid Rhode really needs to say something. Wait for Qiu Lie to ask him his own opinion!"
Hearing the words of the trusted old housekeeper, Baron Ernst was obviously stunned for a moment, but then Baron Ernst, who stood up, walked around for a few steps and stopped, and smiled bitterly and agreed with his housekeeper's view.
After traveling through time, Rhodes gave his relatives and others a deep impression that this child was not only quite smart (the adult knowledge of the reborn person...), but also had his own opinions. After deciding on the road of the Knight, he would never give up halfway but worked hard to train himself (of course Rhodes would not say it, mainly because he was afraid of death). If Baron Ernst had a headache about his son, it would be much stronger than what kind of opposition a person would provoke when he decided and notified his son.
Of course, Baron Ernst made this decision because of Rhodes' past performance. If he had been replaced by his incompetent son Baron Ernst would not have thought too much about this!
"Moner, prepare for the matters related to autumn hunting and staying behind!"
After confirming the plan, Baron Ernst was in a good mood and ordered his old housekeeper.
"Yes! Master!"

On the other hand, Rhode, who had just walked to the gate of the mansion, also had a smile on his lips.
"It seems to be interesting..."
Rhodes, who was powerful in the game space of Gods, certainly "heared" what he discussed with Mr. Monre in the study, and also found that his father seemed to have something to do with him in his life, but he was a little unsure.
Rhodes was not worried that he would be cheated by his father. After all, no matter from any perspective, his father Baron Ernst did not have the need to murder his son!
After recalling that he was almost fifteen years old and was about to step into the standardized adult threshold of the mainland, which was sixteen years old, Rhodes vaguely had a general guess in his heart.
For the descendants of civilians and free people, sixteen means that adults can be regarded as labor force, while the descendants of royal families, nobles and knights have several choices for them to choose from when they are adults.
If you don’t have the right to inherit and are not favored and plan to go out for a stroll, you don’t need to say anything. The family will give you a sum of money and send it out directly and look at your own abilities. Basically, except for a few who can make a fortune and become nobles and knights again, most of them have become ordinary free people or businessmen.
If you don’t have the right to inherit but are unwilling to go out, those who are lucky and favored will be arranged to do things in the territory or even have a manor, which can be passed on to become a branch of the family. If you are not lucky, at most arranging a position can ensure that you cannot starve to death. As for the future, it depends on your personal luck and hard work.
The guy with inheritance rights is the luckiest to start formally practicing some practical things.
However, according to his own meaning, Rhodes seemed to have made Baron Ernst feel embarrassed...
