A true disciple?
After glancing at the information notification, Lin Er immediately understood the importance of this position to him.
Judging from what Deacon Roslin said, the position of deputy deacon is very scarce, and there will be no vacancy until the previous deputy deacon is transferred.
In this way, even if he has not yet reached the Foundation Establishment stage, he should make preparations in advance.
Lin Er thought for a moment and asked Roseline, "Butler, what are the requirements for this deputy butler position?"
"It seems you're quite confident in yourself. It's good that young people are energetic." Roseline smiled upon hearing this before explaining, "In our Blackrock City Guild, the only requirement for a deputy deacon is that they must be at least at the third tier of strength."
Lin Er felt a little relieved upon hearing this. He was already able to fight against third-tier monsters, and once he broke through to the late stage of Qi Refining, his overall strength should be no less than that of an ordinary third-tier expert.
Seeing Lin Er's confident demeanor, Roseline then said seriously, "This deputy deacon position is also being considered by Raymond of the Silver House, Baron Raven, and the city lord, and they will likely send someone as well. You'll have to compete with them. There are also many variables on the guild's side. I can only guarantee you a nomination."
As expected, becoming the deputy deacon wasn't so easy.
"Thank you for informing me, Deacon."
Lin Er then expressed his gratitude to Roseline.
Roslinn added, "By the way, you should all stay near the base for now and not go out on your own."
Seeing that Butler Roseline's expression was serious, Lin Er also became curious.
"Butler, are those monsters about to attack?"
Roseline shook her head and replied, "Not yet. There aren't many monster leaders this time; they're mainly targeting guild adventurers."
As she said this, she couldn't help but hold her forehead, her head throbbing painfully.
"What does this mean? Does it mean that monsters like to eat people?" Lin Er asked.
Roseline continued, "Yes and no. They mainly come to eat superhumans in an attempt to increase their own strength, so you should not let your guard down."
Lin Er suddenly realized something. No wonder the troll Gram didn't show itself at first. It probably wanted to surround the enemy and catch the reinforcements and bait in one fell swoop.
With such a huge appetite, it could only slink away in the end.
Now that Butler Roslinn has advised them against going out, it's highly likely that no bounties will be issued for the time being.
If the quest isn't triggered, then no spirit stones will be earned.
The monthly salary of spirit stones is simply not enough.
Lin Er frowned and asked again, "Steward, does the guild have Star Vein Silver Fern and Dragon Blood Ginseng? I'd like to buy some."
Roseline glanced at Lin Er and replied, "Our Blackrock City doesn't produce many magical plants. If you urgently need them, you can ask Ellie."
"Ellie?"
Lin Er felt a pang of doubt, but since Deacon Roseline had said so, he thought he could give it a try.
After thanking Roseline, he turned and left.
After Lin Er stepped out of the lord's hut, Flora and the others had been waiting outside for quite some time.
Not far away, a small team from the Woodcrow Brigade was resting and rescuing the wounded.
Lin Er immediately distributed the money and then recounted the general content of his conversation with Deacon Roseline.
Talia cheered and said, "Senior brother, this deputy steward is much better than an adventurer. I didn't expect Steward Roslin to nominate you."
Lin Er remained calm and said, "The deacon also said that there are many competitors, and it's not easy to become one."
Talia laughed and said, "This also shows that you are very capable, senior brother. Others don't even have a chance to be nominated."
At that moment, Crow-Eye Kaera and Luna walked over.
Kayla was about to say something when she heard Lin Er and the others talking and paused in surprise.
Nomination of a deputy deacon?
She felt a mixture of envy and complicated emotions as she slowly said, "Lin Er, congratulations on being nominated as a deacon."
Lin Er turned around and looked at Kayla, asking, "Are your teammates alright?"
"Their injuries have been treated. Thank you for coming to our aid, otherwise we would have really been eaten by the trolls."
Crow-Eye Kayla paused here, then bowed to Lin Er and the others.
Lin Er smiled and said, "It's good that you're all alright. I'm only doing this because of the bounty, so there's no need to be so polite."
Raven-Eyed Kayla shook her head, then said very seriously, "If the guild asks me about the vice-steward nomination this time, I will choose to support you."
"Thank you so much." Lin Er was a little surprised.
Crow-Eye Kayla thanked Lin Er and the others again. Luna, who was standing to the side, was a little stunned. She looked at Lin Er and gave him a slight greeting.
She had a lot to say, but after hearing the nomination for vice deacon, she was left only with astonishment.
Her father was among the candidates for the deputy deacon nomination.
In such a short time, Lin Er has already become comparable to her father?
After just a few days apart, the difference between them has become so vast.
Luna had so much to say, but now she couldn't utter a single word.
Kayla called Luna many times before she came to her senses and was led away, bewildered.
At this moment, Talia couldn't help but say, "Senior brother, when I saw Luna today, she looked really strange. Did the troll hit her on the head with a wooden club?"
"That's possible." Lin Er nodded; he had also noticed Luna's strange behavior.
Talia said, "I hope she recovers soon."
Lin Er immediately looked away and said, "You guys go set up camp first, I'll be there in a bit."
"Senior brother, two tents don't seem to be enough. I'll go buy another one. You and Flora can each have one," Talia said.
Lin Er was just about to speak.
"No," Flora spoke first, then paused and explained, "I need to cultivate with Lin Er, so we need to live together."
"Dual cultivation?" Talia was taken aback.
Lin Er quickly explained, "It means that two people practice meditation together."
"I see, senior brother. You and Miss Flora are so diligent." Talia said with admiration, then whispered, "Keller and I live together and all we do is kiss every day. We can't compare to you and Miss Flora at all."
Lin Er's face darkened, and he hurriedly urged, "You guys should hurry up and set up camp."
After sending Flora and the others away, Lin Er strolled around the village.
At a glance, there were far fewer adventurers in the stronghold today, not as many as before, but it wasn't exactly deserted.
Lin Er quickly found Ellie and told her what he needed.
Ellie immediately replied, "Lord Lin'er, these two magical plants are quite rare in Blackrock City. If you really want them, I can ask around for you, but the price might be quite high."
When Lin Er saw that Ellie actually had it, his expression immediately lit up with joy. He asked, "Price isn't a problem. How much deposit do I need?"
Ellie thought for a moment and replied, "Then please pay 50 Fang coins first. It may take a week to deliver."
"Okay." Lin Er readily paid the deposit to Ellie.
He checked his wallet again.
I haven't spent too much money during this period, and with the income from bounties, I currently have nearly 650 fang coins left.
Moreover, the apothecary Carlisle still owes him a final payment of 175 francs.
