Transcendent Noble

The soft sun shines on people in the afternoon, which is warm and makes people drowsy. At the gate of Victor camp, several guards were walking around boredly, seeming to want to use this method to resist the surging sleepiness.

Yesterday, Lord Bruce, Lord Nelson Captain and Lord Nicole returned triumphantly. They brought back Ogre's body. This caused the entire camp to fall into a carnival. The bonfire dinner lasted until late at night. Everyone drank five barrels of purple cane wine. At this time, most people were still sleeping, and these hapless guards were responsible for their duties. Must stick to the post.

The neighing sound of the horse pulling from down the slope attracted the attention of these guards. Just as they were about to take up the crossbow on guard, the watchman on the tower shouted loudly: "It's the convoy, we The team."

Several carriages full of cargo drove slowly towards the camp, and it was Victor’s village leader Maureen who led the team.

The overwhelming majority of the people in the convoy are all happy and full of spirits. There is only one old farmer with a bruised face, and he follows the convoy towards the camp step by step.

"Captain Maureen, what goods are you bringing back?" When the convoy resisted the entrance of the camp, a guard greeted Maureen with a smile.

"Oh, these all are the worship given to Fief lord from Pinghu Village. This is Lord Dick, the mayor of Pinghu Village." Maureen took the old farmer's arm and said teasingly to the guard. The camp in Bayer has been named Pinghu Village by Victor.

"It turned out to be the Elder of the village." The guard gave Dick a sideways glance, showing no respect.

"Yes, yes... Oh, no, it’s not a master." Dick admits it is not, it is not to admit it is not, he has to keep nodded waist, coupled with the bruise on his face, looks very Embarrassed.

"Go in!" The guard waved his hands disdainfully. The leaders who followed Victor looked down on the freedmen in the territory, even though Victor had approved them to be given the status of the leaders.

What about the village chief? I'm still a vassal. The guard thought proudly. Although he is not a vassal yet, the work points he earns a year later are enough to exchange for a small piece of Fiefdom, which only pays 50% of the harvest.

Dick shrank and followed Maureen onto a 9-meter-long suspension bridge. Below the suspension bridge was a 6-meter-wide and 5-meter-deep trench. The taller trees on the steep slopes on both sides of the trench have been cut down, leaving only low shrubs and thorns.

Dick looked up at the four arrow towers standing behind the 8-meter-high fence, and found that the soldiers on duty on the arrow towers were looking at him coldly with a formidable power crossbow. Can't help but shrink his neck.

In fact, there are a total of six such arrow towers. There are two on the left and right sides of the camp gate. If an enemy comes, the soldiers on these arrow towers can use crossbows or military heavy crossbows. The enemy on the opposite side of the trench suffered huge damage.

The other two arrow towers are on both sides of the camp. They face a steep slope. Almost no enemy can attack the camp from there, so the two arrow towers actually serve as lookouts. The tower is used to observe the movement at the foot of the mountain.

"Let’s go, Chief Dick, fief lord is still waiting inside." Maureen saw Dick look a little scared, secretly proud, because this camp was Victor who adopted his suggestion. Just built.

The terrain here is dangerous, easy to defend and difficult to attack, and the four arrow towers are enough to make people daunting.

Dick followed Maureen into the camp, only to realize that this camp is much larger than Bayer’s camp. There are not only rows of houses, warehouses, animal pens, but also a large piece of food. The vegetable field is full of several kinds of vegetables that only grow in the water season, such as red cabbage, round melon, mustard greens and so on.

On the edge of the vegetable field, there is a small stream and a 10-meter-square pool. The clear stream flows into this pool along an artificial ditch, and then through the entire vegetable field along the ditch, and finally from A hole flowed out of the camp.

Several farmers were busy in the field. They harvested round melons and red vegetables, and dragged them to a low house with a trolley. They shouted and poured these vegetables into the fence.

"Captain Maureen, what are they doing?" Dick asked curiously.

"Oh, that's breeding ground lizards." Maureen explained impatiently.

The ground lizard is an omnivorous lizard unique to Centaur Hills. They are large and weigh 15 kilograms in adult ground lizards with fresh and tender meat. They grow very quickly under adequate food conditions and are good at laying eggs. Therefore, at Edwin's suggestion, Victor asked the people to start trying to raise these lizards. After more than a month of exploration, these farmers gradually mastered some knack for raising ground lizards, and now this ground lizard breeding farm can stably provide lizard eggs to the camp.

"Come on, don't look anymore." Maureen took Dick towards the camp on the top of the mountain.

"Wait, I want to make it easier first." Dick broke free of Morin's pull and ran to the corner of the fence, because he was about to see Fief Lord, he couldn't help but urinate nervously.

"Eh! Eh! Stop! Do you want to get a whip? There is a toilet over there!" Dick's behavior shocked Maureen. He quickly grabbed him and pointed to the side of the vegetable field. Said the two huts.

At this time, Dick discovered that this is different from the smelly camp where he lives. This camp is very clean and tidy, and there is no fecal sewage on the ground.

Victor pays great attention to the sanitation of the camp. It is strictly forbidden to let people urinate and urinate anywhere. He asked them to build several toilets in the camp. For those who do not abide by the rules, Victor does not hesitate to use a whip to help them change Falling out of trouble.

After Dick solved his personal problems in the toilet, Maureen took him to the side of the ditch in the vegetable field and said to him: "Wash your hands here, you remember the water in the upper ditch It’s immovable. The water in the pool is for drinking, and the water here is for cleaning. Don’t make a mistake, otherwise you just wait and get sucked."

" The rules are really big," Dick said in a consoling way.

"hmph! What do you know! This is called sanitation? This canal is designed by fief lord himself. Baita scholar Master Edwin also said that it is not easy to get sick by doing this." Maureen told Dick The village chief's ignorance expressed great contempt.

"Nicole, do your arms still hurt?"

In an exquisite wood house on the top of the mountain, Victor is eagerly changing the bandages for Nicole. His movements are gentle and gentle. Accurate, makes Nicole feel extremely warm.

Nicole did not speak, lightly shook the head, and her beautiful eyes were full of tenderness and smile instead of the shame of the past.

"Nicole, you are now Knight, do you have any plans for the future?" Victor asked Nicole with a smile.

"According to the usual practice, Mrs. Sylvia will change my name and surname, and my mother will also receive the title of lady in the family. As for the future... I don't know..." Nicole He said with joy, but felt a little sad when he thought of leaving Victor in the end.

Even if Nicole is successfully promoted to Knight, she and Victor have no future, at best they can only be lovers.

"I mean, when are you going to investigate Great Swamp?" Victor quickly changed a topic, and suddenly a sad atmosphere made him muffled.

"Well, in these two days, we will set off." Nicole smiled at Victor, and she did not bother with the sadness that was just now tacitly.

"What do you do with your injury?" Victor frowned, as the saying goes One hundred days ago Recuperate.

"It doesn't matter. With Knight's physique, this small injury can be completely recovered in five days, and I am particularly acquainted with Water Element. As long as I run Battle Qi regularly, I can recover in three days. "Knight, who can resonate with the elements, recovers faster than ordinary people, and thinking that he has become a real Knight, the corners of Nicole's mouth can't help but evoke a charming arc.

Just as Victor was about to say something more, Lilia's crisp voice came in.

"My lord, Dick, the mayor of Pinghu Village, is already waiting for your call."

"Come in."

The petite Lilia belt Dick walked in with cowering, and when Lilia saw Nicole sitting next to Victor, she couldn't help showing a look of envy.

"Lord Nicole Knight, good day." Lilia curtsy to Nicole. Normally Lilia is called Nicole elder sister, but now Nicole is the Knight of aloof and remote, and there are outsiders present, so today She called Nicole an adult.

"Lilia younger sister, no need to be polite." Nicole said with a smile to Lilia.

It may have something to do with mother's low status. Nicole is not fake to other men, but she is much more kind to women. She especially likes the charming and enthusiastic Lilia. Normally, they are all sisters.

"Good day Lord Lord, Good day Lord Knight." Seeing two great characters staring at him, Old Dick bowed quickly.

"Has the offerings of Lilia Pinghu Village been stored?" Victor asked Dick nodded, but asked Lilia.

"Pinghu Village’s offerings this time have been put into storage, including 80 iron oak roots, 120 hemlock roots, 700 pounds of dried fish, 700 pounds of bacon, 47 pieces of animal skins, and 100 pounds of dried mushrooms. , And two wild boars totaling 2,000 pounds."

If Lilia wears a white shirt, one-step skirt, and black silk high heels, he will be a beautiful secretary. Victor looked at Lilia, who was standing in front of him, reporting to him, and couldn't help thinking.

Victor has been taking Lilia to deal with the camp affairs during this period, and personally taught her some accounting methods and financial knowledge. Now Lilia can arrange the camp affairs in an orderly manner according to Victor’s requirements. Quite the style of some modern assistants.

However, other people in the camp think that Lilia will be adopted by Victor as a personal maid. Some people have even begun to call Lilia his wife, and Nelson thinks so, so he no longer contradicts Lilia and Victor. touch.

Victor is angry about being misunderstood by everyone.

In fact, I really only want an assistant. I chose Lilia because she is literate, smart, young and easy to learn, and of course she is also beautiful, well, in fact, a personal maid is also good.

"Why is there only such an offering?" Victor looked at the Mayor Dick he appointed playfully.

"My lord, there is nothing more than the rations left in the village." Dick said to Victor with a bitter face.

"Really? Then it seems that Pinghu Village is not having a good life! I once said that the villagers are allowed to come to this camp to settle down, why no one comes? Didn't you convey my meaning to the villagers?" Victor stared at Dick and asked coldly.

"Well, my lord, the villagers are almost used to living there, and I can't help it." Victor's question caused a cold sweat on Dick's forehead.

"Oh, right? By the way, Chief Dick, how come your face is swollen? Was it beaten?" Victor asked pretendingly in surprise.

"No, no, it was a fall, it was a fall..." Dick covered his bruised cheek with his hand, and answered Victor in fear.

"Well, you can go back if you are okay." Victor knocked on the table and placed an Expulsion Order on Dick.

"My lord, I don't want to go back. I want to stay in this camp." When Victor was about to drive him away, Dick knelt down and cried to Victor.

Dick’s life in the past few days was very difficult. Originally, he wanted to be on the shelf of the village chief at the front of the others, but was beaten by Mark, but Bayer ignored it. , Those free men who had intended to please the new village chief suddenly drew a clear line with him, which made him miserable.

"Dick, I’m very disappointed in you! I, Victor Baron Wimbledon, is the master of this territory. As the village chief I appointed, you must show allegiance to me and prove your ability. If you If it’s a trash, then go back to be a freedman. I think Bayer will kill a freedman without the slightest hesitation." After hearing Dick’s cry, Victor has no sympathy. He must let Dick understand him. The current situation.

"My lord, please don't abandon me!" Victor's cold words made Dick shiver in fright.

"Don’t you understand yet? You, as my village chief, will be beaten by them, but they dare not kill you. If you give in to them, it will only make you unclear. ."

"Then? What should I do?" Dick was completely confused by this time.

"Go back to Pinghu Village, no matter how they humiliate you or beat you, they can’t give in. You have to scold them loudly and win the support of other villagers. This process will be very difficult, but you must stick to it. , Because you have no way out." Victor needs Dick to speak for him in Pinghu Village, so he still has to give Dick some support.

"Just yesterday, my army wiped out a bandit tribe composed of ogre and jackals. You will take a good bath and sleep in this camp today, and tomorrow I will ask someone to change your body. Clothes, and then send a guard with that ogre head to accompany you to Pinghu Village to show you. You have to announce my achievements loudly to the villagers, but don't try to provoke the people of Bayer, because the time is not yet."

"In addition, in view of your loyalty, I will no longer exempt Pinghu Village from offering 10%, so you can bring back 10% of the materials you brought this time. I suggest that you distribute these materials in your own name. For those old and weak women and children, remember not to try to buy those young and strong, it will make you die faster."

"Go ahead! If you perform well, I will consider making you me Vassal, and reward your family with land."

Dick is the village chief appointed by Victor, and he doesn’t have any outstanding ability himself, so he has to talk to Dick in more detail.

Looking at the miserable old farmer just now, as if he had been beaten with blood, and happily retiring to Victor, Nicole asked unbearably, "Will this Dick succeed?"

"If he is smart enough, the chance of disintegrating that free private camp is great." Victor laughed confidently.

"What if that Bayer kills him?" Nicole knew that Bruce had decided not to intervene in the issue of the freedmen in Victor's territory, and was somewhat worried about the situation Victor would face after they left.

"I will appoint another village chief among the freemen of Pinghu Village. I really want to see how many village chiefs that Bayer can kill!"

Victor's eyes are somewhat Complicated, of course he knew that instigating an unfounded village chief to fight for power with Bayer was purely to send him to death. But if Bayer really kills Dick by brutal means, Victor will not lose anything. He will continue to appoint the village chief in Pinghu Village, but Bayer can’t kill endlessly, because it will make him. Lost the support of free people.

Victor sighed, since he has given up the bloodbath that camp, he can only disintegrate it by initiating an internal fight in Pinghu Village.

Ambition can only be dealt with with ambition.
