The Death Knight of the Secret World

Chapter 75 0075. Eric Lanshere

Following Bob all the way, Beomi and the others finally stopped in a small guest room in this manor.

"Mr. Corleone, you can rest here for a while. Master Allen said that he will bring friends over later."

After the loyal servant Bob took Beomi to the guest room, he left in a hurry without staying long.

Beomi was noncommittal. After he and Allen, a good-for-nothing salted fish, made canned food, Bob was arranged by the housekeeper to take orders from Allen. This meant that the old Lord Beckman recognized Allen's ability—— The ability of friends is also considered ability.

Originally, the best ending for the useless second sons of small noble families like Alan was to be thrown out to take care of the family's business and property, and to work for their elder brother and nephew.

Of course, some aristocrats with decent family conditions would also send their second sons to the army or the government to give it a try.

It would be best if he could get away with it.If you can't make a name for yourself, then there is no big loss.

The Beckman family belongs to the kind that is not bad among the down-and-out nobles. After all, the old lord was able to send his son to Jianhai County Customs to be a small boss through various connections, which proves that the Beckman family still has some energy.

But that's all. If Romeo, the eldest grandson of the Beckman family, hadn't been given [tips] by a transmigrator by chance, he might have to wait a few years before he could take the lead under the crowded Duke Downing. You can only dawdle in the small department with little oil and water.

As for the second son, Alan, this iron trash, if his uncle happened to be the deputy chief of the South City Police Department, he would not have had the opportunity to wear black leather to serve the general public of Backlund.

The Beckman family has almost done their best to run Mr. Beckman and Romeo and his son.Allen, this is purely because the old lord let his married daughter blow the pillow wind, so that he can go to the police station to paddle.

Although Alan is a waste, his IQ is not a big problem, so he obeyed his aunt and uncle.He understands very well that whether he can stand up in the future depends entirely on his relatives.

However, who would have thought that although Alan is an iron waste, his luck is really good, and he can meet a traverser when paddling in the police station.

Then, Alan, who was already destined to lie flat and be a salted fish, became prosperous...

Not only with the help of Beomi, the bulk commodity such as canned food and cash cows were produced, but also a stable funding channel was brought to the Beckman family, which was already close to making ends meet.

Even, Romeo, the eldest brother of the Bei family, also under the [inspiration] of Beiomi, emerged in the group of hundreds of [young talents] under Duke Downing, and pretended to fly together with Count Louis.

So, strictly speaking, the [contribution] of Alan, the iron waste, to the Beckman family is actually greater than that of his father who has been blowing the sea breeze at Jianhai County Customs for nearly ten years.

At least, the chances of Mr. Beckman making a name for himself in Jianhai County... really aren't too high.Maybe in the end, it will stop at a hard-working third-in-command, or the kind of third-in-command who specializes in work.

Because Alan, the stock that was about to be sold, has shown the potential to become a dark horse, and has actually brought benefits to the family, so his treatment in the family has also improved-his grandfather assigned him a follower.

In the entire Beckman family, there are actually two servants, one is the old Lord, and the other is Mr. Beckman.Even Romeo, the eldest son of the family, didn't get a follower.

Well, after the eldest brother of the Bei family went to be Earl Louis's dog leg, his father-in-law was very willing to spend his money, and provided him with a luxurious carriage, a full-time driver and a servant who ran errands—— It was some cousin of his wife Romeo.

Being able to work as an errand under the hands of a nobleman was still a very popular job a hundred years ago.In earlier times, these people even had a low-profile version of the [June title]—they were usually called [Knights].

However, as the populations of all countries in the Northern Continent began to grow explosively, the knight system was gradually abandoned and abolished by the four major countries in the Northern Continent because they could not keep up with the rhythm.

In fact, the most fundamental reason is that the knights are also the beneficiaries of the [enfeoffment system]. In ancient times when the [control] of the nobles was insufficient, they could indeed act as [confidantes] to manage the fiefs and exercise management rights for the nobles.

But with the progress of the country's construction, the improvement of the management model, and other reasons, the nobles finally discovered that the knight system began to be too big, and even to a certain extent, the power of the nobles was diluted.

In the end, the backward knight system was slowly abandoned - there are still knights in the Northern Continent, but they are exclusive to the royal family.The royal family will selectively select some of the nobles' second sons or outstanding military officers, and distribute them sophisticated equipment and weapons to guard the palace—in fact, they are high-level security guards.

After the demise of the knight system, the nobles began to train servants, that is, smart, sensible and hard-working dog legs.

Being able to serve as a servant for a big shot is actually similar to Beomie's impression of being a driver or secretary for a big shot.They are humble but powerful, because they usually serve their masters personally, and they are usually [confidantes and generals].

So, don't look at the low price of being a servant, but this kind of work is still yearned for by many smart young people-because as a servant, there is a chance that the big boss will arrange a lucrative job at any time.

However, being a servant of a big shot is not without barriers, and even - the threshold is still very high.

Not only do you have to be able to observe words and behaviors, but you must also have certain special skills. Reading and literacy is a must. This alone has killed a large group of people-because the education and popularization work in the secret world is really stretching, which is about equal to the The period of the Republic of China that Omi knows.

Although there are schools - but good schools are for the children of rich families, and ordinary people simply cannot afford the high educational expenses.

In fact, ordinary schools can occasionally produce a few monsters, but they have worked so hard to kill them from the bottom, and it's not for the sake of being a dog's leg for a big shot.

Therefore, most of the jobs that have a very high threshold, such as servants of big shots, are specially trained within the families of big shots.

Let’s just say that the two young men that Beomy met, Harry and Malfoy, who were paddling in the pawn shop near the South City branch, belonged to the [reserve servants] specially trained by the Black family.

However, Deputy Director Black only picked one follower, that is Harry's brother Tom.And Harry and Malfoy can only be thrown out by Mrs. Black to watch the store...

This kind of existence similar to [coated servant] has a special name in this mysterious world, and they are collectively called [vassal].It means, a high-level servant whose wealth and life are tied to the master's family.

After the demise of the knight system, its predecessor, the vassal system, was picked up by the nobles again.However, the new vassal system did not develop very well without the support of [enfeoffment system].

The loyal servant Bob is a vassal of the Beckman family. However, this vassal does not have the qualified [dog leg] attribute, which is very annoying.

But it's actually...just right to match Alan, the iron waste.

The Beckman family, which has gradually slipped out of the original class, has limited resources and cannot cultivate too many outstanding vassals.

The Black family is still in the middle of their class, so their family can still cultivate a few clever vassals.

However, it is a pity that the vassals of the nobles cannot be used as gifts at all.Unless Alan changed his surname to Black, Harry and Malfoy would never be his followers.

The rules of nobles are actually very big.

Of course, the [rich businessman] class like Dawn Dantès, the incarnation of the Fool Old Immortal later, has less stringent requirements for [slaves].

After all, he is not a nobleman!
It's normal for an upstart to do something unruly!
Beomy was idly thinking wildly in this small living room, and after waiting for about half an hour, Allen finally showed up.

He didn't come by himself. Alex Lanshere, a naval petty officer who had met Beomie once, came with him.

As one of the few elites in Alan's circle of iron-wasted friends, Erics is actually the eldest son of the Lanshere family, and his status is similar to that of Romeo.

The main reason why he can play with Alan, the iron waste, is that the Lanshere family is actually worse than the Beckman family.

The Lanshere family is actually similar to the Beckman family. They belong to the same group of minor nobles who emerged at the time of the previous king William VI—basically, every generation of kings will support a group of such minor nobles.

The reason for Lansheer's misfortune is mainly because their family made some mistakes in standing in line.Because their family actually bet their treasure on the Earl of Birmingham. This big man was indeed in power for a time, but it would be embarrassing to have no choice but to step down later.

Henry III may be grateful for the achievements of his cousin and take care of the Birmingham family who are very sensible and chose [retirement and pension], but he will not take care of all the horses of the Earl of Birmingham.

The Lanshere family belonged to the [abandoned] leftovers in [Birmingham Hill]. Their family was in the army with the Earl of Birmingham at the beginning, and they had a good time for a while.

It is a pity that not only did Lanshere's father become a martyr when he conquered the southern rebellion, but even his former backer was sacked by the new Henry III not long after.

Therefore, as a [military martyr], Erics did not enjoy much [afterglow] from his parents.

He inherited his family's title of lord before he was ten years old. If he hadn't had an uncle who was paddling in the Backlund City Hall, he might have even been deprived of his title.

Finally, with the support of his uncle and several uncles, Erics barely finished his studies, and then...he went to the navy.

After all, almost all of his father's old comrades in the army were dealt with by Henry III, and the Lanshere family's connections in the army were basically abolished.

That's why he chose to work hard in the navy department...

Because of the hardships of life since he was a child, Alex worked very hard when he was in school, and he also paid great attention to interpersonal relationships.

In the years when he was in public school, whether he was a senior who was several years older than him or a junior who was several years younger than him, he got along well.

Alan, an iron waste two years younger than him, entered Erics' circle of friends at that time. After all, as the same batch of lord families, the Lanshere family and the Beckman family still have some connections.

Allen also received a lot of care from Erics when he was in school, so he admired this senior quite a lot-it can be said that Alex is completely Allen's idol.
