Transcendent Noble
Chapter 25
The journey of more than ten days made Victor feel a bit tired, and what happened yesterday made him realize that he was not ready to be a lord.
The migration of more than four hundred people is not only as simple as letting these civilians eat and wear warmth and not be threatened by monsters. In addition to these most basic guarantees, these people will have more needs. For example, spouse, rights, status in the group, etc.
Nelson is an experienced mercenary group leader. On the way, no leader died at the hands of the monster, which is enough to prove his ability, but obviously he is not good at managing these civilians.
A few militiamen, under the condition of no restriction, a little bit of advantage in position allows them to quickly transform into bullies and bullies. Then, what changes will the official members of Zhanxiong have?
Victor believes that the members of War Bear Mercenaries have not changed to be as vicious as those militiamen, not because of their good nature, but because the mercenaries have not yet realized the change in their roles. He also regarded this migration as a mercenary protection mission, and strictly abided by the morality of mercenaries.
But what happened this time will make some people realize that everything is different.
Speaking of which, Victor would also like to thank that wretched Mouss. If he hadn’t made the matter promptly, it is conceivable that in order to protect his team members, Nelson would privately tell these people Quit your mouth, and Victor will be kept in the dark.
Nelson is a moral mercenary, but this does not mean that he is a kind person. In fact, a mercenary at the edge of a knife licking blood has nothing to do with kindness anyway. If, once he starts to deal with problems in this way, he will continue to treat humans as prey like the wild beast that tasted human flesh for the first time, and Victor will completely lose control of this group.
Thinking of this, Victor feels very heavy.
"You need a steward!" The old scholar pointed out sharply.
Regarding what happened yesterday, whether it was Edwin or Bruce or even Nicole and several other trainee Knights, they all showed indifference. They didn't care about the coerced peasant woman or the killed Logan. , Not to mention the fate of the militiamen who were expelled.
This made Victor realize that in this world the noble class and the commoner world are separated, and the connection between the two is the manager promoted by the noble: steward, mayor, sheriff, village chief, etc. Wait. These people are the eyes, eyes and minions of the nobles ruling the common people.
"How should I choose a steward?" Victor had to ask Master Edwin for advice.
In Victor's mind, most of them are about the memory of aristocratic etiquette and the skills of how to please women, but there is no about the strategy of becoming a qualified lord. These all are the credit of Marquess Sophia.
"The steward of the lord is not something anyone can do. He not only needs to be proficient in large and small matters in the territory, but also proficient in aristocratic etiquette. The most important thing is that he must be absolutely loyal to the lord. Before that, he needs to be literate first." Edwin lightly blew away the heat rising from the pine nut tea in his hand, and said to Victor.
Victor was very discouraged. He couldn't single out a few of his leaders just for literacy.
“In fact, the steward of the overwhelming majority family are all cultivated since childhood. They are often the descendant of this family. Only in this way can they be absolutely loyal to the family, and their offspring will continue to be For family service, these people are also candidates for the noble village chief, mayor, sheriff, and tax officer." Edwin saw Victor's frustrated appearance, and smiled again.
Victor knows what Edwin said is the truth. The Wimbledon family is a thousand-year-old nobleman, and the family history is older than Gambis Kingdom. When he came to Centaur Hills as the lord, Sophia sent a family steward to work for it. . That steward was the descendant of the Wimbledon family. He took care of everything in order along the way, but when he was attacked by bandits, the steward was the first to be slaughtered.
Now it seems that this is most likely a method used by the York family to manipulate themselves, Victor secretly thought.
"It seems that I can only let it go first." Victor said helplessly.
"You should consider taking Nelson Captain's younger sister as your personal maid. If she gives birth to your offspring in the future, that child will become a natural candidate for your family's steward." Edwin Said to Victor, seemingly ridiculing and seemingly formal.
Edwin's suggestion made Victor startled. Nelson is the main force Victor can rely on at present. If we can strengthen the connection with Nelson in this way, it is indeed a good choice. Moreover, Lilia is youthful, charming, charming, and has a different vitality from that of aristocratic women. , And she herself is very fond of Victor.
In the next period of time, Nelson and his men will become an important force in maintaining Victor's dominance. Winning Nelson has become what Victor must do. This is probably the real reason why the old scholar suggested that Victor adopt Lilia as a close-knit maid.
Victor knew that Nelson did not want Lilia to be too close to him. He was afraid that his only younger sister would not have a good home in the end.
But the personal maids of the nobles are legal partners recognized by the nobles and have a higher status in the territory, and the children they give birth, although they cannot inherit the noble's surname, may also awaken the Knight bloodline. Once these descendants are successfully promoted to Knight, they will immediately be recognized as aristocrats. Therefore, becoming a personal servant of the nobility is the home that commoner women generally desire.
Victor glanced at Nicole secretly and found that the female trainee Knight looked as it should be by rights.
"Although Nelson Captain does not have a noble bloodline, he is a powerful and violent warrior and deserves the respect of Xiangying."
Victor's silence made Knight Bruce think Victor was disgusting Lilia's identity and couldn't help but speak for Nelson's injustice. After spending so many days together, the proud Knight admired Nelson's ability and strength very much.
To treat someone else’s younger sister as a close-knit maid is actually a respect for him! This is indeed the evil noble logic.
"This is indeed a way, but I still need to ask Nelson and Lilia for their opinions. I will respect their choice." The values of modern society make Victor very hesitant, but he has to admit This may be his best choice.
"However, before there is a qualified manager, I will personally take on these internal affairs. Although this is a noble decent, it is my duty after all." Victor said, he was confident and high-spirited. The gesture makes Miss Nicole's eyes shined.
"Then what are you going to do?" Edwin touched his beard. He was very interested in Victor's ideas.
"I plan to divide these leaders into six groups and let them choose their own leader. These leaders will lead the members to complete the tasks assigned by me. If they encounter problems, the leader can Report directly to me, and I will deal with it as appropriate." Victor replied.
"However, you cannot guarantee their loyalty. Perhaps these people will soon become like that Logan. They will unite to deceive you, and in your name, they will squeeze those Man. Don't underestimate the cleverness and boldness of these lower-class people. Once they do evil, they will have no bottom line!" The old scholar is not optimistic about Victor's approach.
"You are right. For people who have no moral beliefs, absolute rights will lead to absolute corruption. So I also plan to assign a Vice Group Leader to each group. These Vice Group Leaders cannot Intervene in the work of the team leader, but they will be able to directly report what he sees to me every ten days, and the Vice Group Leader position is taken by adult leaders in turn."
Supervision and reporting are As an effective means of restricting rights, as a transmigrator, Victor certainly understands this truth.
"Absolute rights lead to absolute corruption!? Very insightful, I must admit, Victor, you startled me!" Edwin said to Victor in amazement.
"Good way. But Victor, I think I have to remind you, don't forget to use a whip!"
Knight Bruce's Chunchun teaching made Victor speechless.
Just as Victor was exchanging opinions with everyone, the team walking in front came with cheers.
After nearly twenty days of trekking, they finally arrived in the new territory.
When Victor climbed the hillside, he was greeted with an endless purple ocean. When he looked intently, there were purple plants taller than a person. These plants have straight stems and no branches. Pieces of purple leaves grow from the top of the tree. They are next to each other, one tree is squeezed one by one, and they are layered together. A light breeze passes by, and the purple leaves are swaying like waves, like ocean waves, magnificent. .
Looking at the magnificent purple sea, listening to the lively bird language Insect Cry, Victor's heart is full of flavours. He will bid farewell to his past self, whether it is a fateful predecessor or a little nobleman who is in danger, he will usher in a new beginning here.
