Chapter 85 — Regression Is Too Much

Chapter 85

The protagonist vouches for Baron George, prompting skepticism from a surly player who questions the basis of trust. Baron George responds by summoning his subordinate Thomas and presenting workers carrying wooden planks. He explains that his domain's residents are primarily blacksmiths and carpenters suited for fortification, offering to handle repairs while the players search the castle. A woman with a jutting chin objects, worrying about combat readiness against monsters. The protagonist intervenes, calming the dispute and directing the group to discuss terms privately. Afterward, he demonstrates his swordsmanship, activating his evolved Awe trait to subtly assert dominance over the assembled players. He outlines a strategy to utilize the barony's residents as assets rather than burdens, assigning guard rotations to William Smith. Later, in a private meeting, the protagonist and Baron George negotiate guard duties and weapon repairs. When a torch goes out, the baron illuminates the room with magic, revealing himself as a 3rd-rank mage. This discovery prompts the protagonist to propose a binding deal, recognizing the strategic value of the baron's mana capabilities despite his usual emotional detachment.
