Wizard starting from shoeing donkeys

"Once the family moves to County Town, I'll be able to go to the blacksmith shop and try my hand at forging. If all goes well, maybe in two or three days, I could raise my Profession Level as a blacksmith to lv5!"

However, Rein quickly thought of a problem.

"If the experience reward given by the Cavalry breastplate is high, should I level up my blacksmith to lv6 before considering a career change to an armorsmith?"

Rein hesitated, then after pondering for a moment, he slightly shook his head.

"I'll see when the time comes! Right now, I don't know how much experience the system will give for making a Cavalry breastplate."

"Besides, even if the experience rewarded by the system at blacksmith lv5 is generous, it doesn't mean it will still be generous at lv6. During previous Skill Level-ups, I have experienced situations where the experience for existing skills was significantly weakened after a Profession Level-up."

Of course, the main reason was the one-month vacation given by Count Habbs.

So, he had to settle his family quickly and then head to the Golden Coast in Rosby County to study under Master Gunther Otinga.

If changing careers to an armorsmith took only two or three days, that shouldn't be a problem since settling his family and taking care of some miscellaneous matters would also require that much time.

But if it took too long, it would not be worth the delay.

After returning home, the first thing Rein said when he entered frightened his mother, Emma.

"Mother, we might have to move again, you can start packing now."

At that moment, old Rein was sitting in the backyard on a recliner, squinting leisurely in the warm winter sun while watching Bo He play with 'Cookie' in the yard, enjoying the simple family pleasures.

But when he accidentally heard Rein's words, old Rein nearly fell from his recliner.

"Rein, what's happened?" Emma asked anxiously.

Old Rein and his sister Bo He also hurried over from the backyard.

It was then that Rein realized he had frightened his family by not providing enough detail.

He quickly explained, "It's good news, I've been granted the title of Baron, and the Empire has arranged a Baron's mansion for me over in County Town."

Hearing that it was this kind of situation, Emma patted her chest and relaxed, chiding, "Really, you should have explained things more clearly."

After thinking it over, Emma asked reluctantly, "That... Rein, can't we avoid moving? We like living here quite well. We're satisfied. And we know all the neighbors. If we go to County Town..."

Old Rein also nodded and agreed, "Yeah, Rein, we're happy living here; we're familiar with the surroundings. If we go to County Town, we won't know anyone."

In old Rein's eyes, the large house they were currently living in was once the dream living condition he had yearned for.

Now that he could live here, he was truly content.

"About that..." Rein looked thoughtful.

He could certainly understand his parents' concerns, but... if his family continued to live in Flashgold Town, then their safety would be at risk…

So, Rein quickly shook his head and said, "I'm afraid not. Since the new mansion is in the noble district of County Town, it will be more secure. If we stayed in Flashgold Town, it would be much more dangerous..."

"But brother, if you're here, wouldn't that ensure our safety?" Bo He asked, her bright eyes fixed on Rein.

She had always been confident in her brother's abilities.

Rein stroked his sister's soft hair and said, "Of course, but I will soon be leaving on a trip to enhance my skills, likely for about a month."

"So, Bo He, you wouldn't want your brother to worry about your safety from afar, would you?"

Upon hearing the words 'enhance skills,'

Emma and old Rein exchanged glances.

They both understood that this concerned their son's future prospects, and it was instantly clear that it wasn't about whether they wanted to move, but they needed to move to County Town so that Rein could feel at ease while away from home.

"Then that's settled, we'll start packing right away!" old Rein said decisively.

Rein looked at his father and nodded slightly.

It seemed that when faced with a significant event, men could still be more decisive than women.

"Rein, then I'll start packing now," Emma said and nodded, turning to go to the room to begin packing.

"Mother, just pack the essentials. At the new residence, beds, bedding, and even clothes have all been prepared for us by others."

"Oh, and there are also several servants and a guard troop that have already moved in to clean and provide protection," Rein advised.

At Rein's words, Emma, who had just turned to leave, suddenly stood frozen in place. Discover exclusive tales on empire

And old Rein and Bo He's eyes widened significantly when they looked at Rein, their mouths slightly agape, their expressions showing the shock of 'what did you just say?'

Previously, they had only heard Rein mention that he had become a Baron.

But as for the implications that his new title as a Baron could have on every aspect of their lives, they had never thoroughly thought it through.

What they had envisioned was perhaps eating better, living better, maybe traveling by carriage, but that was about it.

Now, hearing about 'servants,' 'guards,' and such from Rein, they started to grasp the full picture.

Suddenly, their lives were about to be entirely different from before!
