Don’t raise unruly people in extreme cold weather

Chapter 279 Knight Novel
"Just wait here. The Earl will summon you when he has time." The staff member said to Shay and then left the room, leaving Shay alone and nervously waiting in the room. With.

He came to wait for the summons of Purficott. As the only noble knight among this group of pioneering immigrants, after Shay revealed his identity, he was naturally summoned by Purficott.

To be honest, this made Shay somewhat flattered. After all, he was just a noble knight. Even when he was still in the army, he could not easily be summoned by a noble like Perficott.

Not to mention that now he was kicked out of the army because he killed the son of his immediate boss, and he couldn't stay in the empire and had to come to the north to make a living.

Regardless of whether he is a noble knight, in fact, when you say that a knight's title is a noble, it is indeed considered a noble.

But strictly speaking, the empire's current purely honorary titles, which don't even include fiefs, are really hard to come close to being considered true aristocrats.

After all, it was okay in the past when knights still had fiefs and fiefs. Those who could be hereditary, even if they were just knights, were serious feudal nobles and the cornerstone of feudal nobles.

However, with the reform of the imperial aristocratic system, the feudal nobles in the past have lost their power to enfeoff, and the status of noble knights has become much more embarrassing.

Because there is no longer the right to enfeoff, the great nobles will naturally no longer entrust their territories to knights, and the empire itself only awards titles and will not grant fiefs. This leads to the fact that in most cases, the title of noble knight is It's just an empty title with not much real substance.

To put it bluntly, this is not even as good as the knighthood sold in Scotland in the original world before Perficott traveled. At least he can hold a piece of land in name, even if it is just a piece of land that may be less than 100 square meters and cannot be transferred to him. Used woodland.

He never thought that after he showed his identity and strength, he would be received by Perfectcott as soon as he came up.

Therefore, in Shay's view, the title of noble knight he obtained after becoming a transcendent knight was just an identity mark that allowed him to knock on the doors of some nobles at certain times. Other than that, there was nothing major. use.

In Shay's original expectation, he would first find a job after arriving in the North. It would be great if he could join the army of the Northern Lords as a knight, but that was his best idea. .

In fact, this was indeed the case along the way. He didn't have much money left, and he even bought the ticket for the lowest-class cabin at the beginning. Apart from a knight's sword worth a little money, he was already down and out. There are no possessions left.

His eldest brother couldn't stand it anymore and bought him a third-class cabin ticket, allowing him to have his own cabin on the ship. Although he still lived with others, at least he only lived with one person instead of Go squeeze the lower deck which has no cabin at all.

When he came to the North, he was ready to start from scratch and start his new life as an ordinary person.

This is like a penniless poor boy walking on the road and suddenly being hit by a piece of gold, and it is gold in the literal sense, not night fragrance falling from the sky.

Although the living habits of people in the old world have changed a lot as they gradually entered the era of the Industrial Revolution, in some remote cities in the old world, you can still encounter people pouring night fragrance from the second floor on the street, so Being hit by "gold" is not an impossible thing.

But being summoned by Perficott, the northern lord, for a poor knight like Shay, whose pocket is cleaner than his face, is really something he is more happy and lucky than picking up a piece of gold. Because if he is lucky and gets the favor of Perficott, then he will have a chance to make a comeback.

Not to mention anything else, just being able to join the army of the Northern Lords, starting from the most junior officer, Shay has turned over. As long as he works hard for a few years, he can earn a family fortune for himself in the Northern Territory. .

Not to mention luck, if he gets a reward from a pioneer knight, it will be much more valuable than the baron title passed down from his family.

If he is lucky enough, Shay heard that there is a knighthood in the North that belongs directly to the Earl of the North. All members are equipped with steam knight armor. If they can become steam knights...

This is the best situation that Shay can think of. As for the young man who was in the cabin on the way here, he imagined that he would win the heart of Perfectcott and become the husband of the Earl of the North...

Shay can only say that it is good to be young and have ideas, but they are too unrealistic.

It is true that the Earl of the North is a teenage girl, but if you think that such an empire-expanding Earl who can make such a big splash in the empire is just a little girl who is inexperienced in the world, you will also think of the nobles of the empire. Too simple.

Indeed, just like those stories about chivalry, some innocent aristocratic ladies would fall in love with poor boys, and even elope because of so-called love. In the history of the empire, there are not many poor boys who jumped to the throne because of this. Become an example of others being superior to others.

But these are rare cases, and in most cases you won’t even get the names and specific details of the protagonists of these stories.

For nobles, this kind of thing is usually regarded as a family scandal. Most noble ladies who run away with poor boys for love will be expelled from the family, or in the worst case, they will be sent to a monastery to live out their lives.

Only when that kind of poor boy is really talented and can show his value, those big nobles will pinch their noses and admit it under forced circumstances.

But put this case on the Earl of the North? It's a little bit too disrespectful to take the earl seriously.

In the story, only those aristocratic ladies who have been unable to contact the outside world for many years, who are curious about everything but ignorant of the world, are interested in poor boys who would never appear in her original world.

And the Earl of the North? Xie Yi didn't think that an ordinary person could win the earl's favor. It was already rare to be looked upon by her.

Xie Yi knows very well how much he weighs. Even if there is such a chance, he will not have such a dream, because if he is not careful, it will be worse than death. He does not want to be killed by the man who is said to be Xun. A knight's old butler is chasing him.

If you kill the son of your immediate boss, you will be exiled overseas at most. If you really offend the Earl of the North, you will be hunted down by the entire empire.
