Transcendent Noble

A huge swift bird made a dissatisfied gu lu sound. The saddle on its body made it very uncomfortable, but it was still obediently and obediently after seeing a gesture by Buso. Lie down honestly.

"Then what do you do? Feed it the ground lizard?" Nicole held a half-dead ground lizard in her slender hand, and asked Buso next to him. You can try to ride this big lizard right away. Bird makes her both excited and sweet.

You know, this is the first time someone rides this big bird, even Nelson is a little jealous, but Victor gave her this opportunity with a word.

Nicole is wearing a tight-fitting women’s rhino leather soft armor. This leather armor lacks defensive power, but it is light and flexible. Therefore, it must fit the body design and wear it on the tall Dame body to bring out the She has long legs and a honey waist, her chest is straight and her buttocks are upturned, which makes Victor especially hot.

With Buso's approval, Nicole fed the ground lizard in his hand to the fast bird lying on the ground, quickly turned over and boarded the saddle, shaking the reins. Swiftbird also stood up immediately, swallowing the ten-jin-heavy ground lizard into his stomach as soon as he raised his head, let out a loud cry, spread his legs and ran.

Seeing Nicole's healthy body and quick movements, Victor also secretly sighed.

It’s Knight in the end. His recovery ability is amazing. Last night, when he was lingering, the snow and snow were so painful. Today, I’m like no one else. I have to try to ride the Swiftbird... Actually, I want to ride too. what.

"Victor, really didn't expect, you really domesticated the Swiftbird?!" Edwin couldn't help but exclaimed when he saw Nicole riding the Swiftbird up a hill in the blink of an eye.

"Well, to be honest, I was also surprised, I didn't expect that the domestication progress of the villager group would be so fast." Victor said somewhat proudly.

Unexpected ghost! The Swiftbird was originally the mount of the mountain light cavalry of the Nairil Empire. The auxiliary soldier Buso knows the habits of this chocobo very well. It is naturally where water flows, a canal is formed when domesticated.

Bruce carefully observed the Swiftbird's running movement, his eyes solemn.

He found that the speed bird is slightly faster than the war horse, but the advantage is not big, but its balance ability is excellent, and it can pass through complex terrain perfectly. For example, it carries Nicole up to a hill. as easy as blowing off dust, and when it descends, the huge wings can help it slow down and maintain its balance. The rider sits firmly on its back without falling. The Swiftbird is taller than a war horse, and the feathers on its body are tenacious, which means it can easily pass through the prickly bushes without being scratched. The huge and strong bird claws firmly grasp the ground, which makes its body It is very stable, even when it is a sharp turn, the rider will not feel too bumpy, which will make the riding and shooting easier, faster and more precise.

Although I don’t know how fast the Swiftbird’s endurance is, Bruce can be sure that in the hilly environment, the value of this mount far exceeds that of a horse!

"Master Knight, would you like to try it too? We can still hold another horse." Seeing Knight's scorching eyes, Dean, the villager leader standing aside, said eagerly.

Dean’s words made Bruce startled. He had some impressions of this farmer. Three months ago, this was a humble and cowardly free man, but now he dares to speak to him.

"No need, go ahead."

Dean bowed to Bruce and was rejected by Master Knight. It didn't make him feel frustrated, but rather loudly. Go and greet the villagers under him to do things.

Bruce has felt that these civilians who were walking with him have become more confident and more active, and are no longer as conscientious and gloomy as before, and begin to have their own colors as if the rain has passed and the sky has cleared. . And this change is only three months' time.

"Victor, you are surprised, but I am not at all surprised! Look, your men were still half-dead free people a few months ago, and they didn’t even dare to make their own voices in the face of the bullying by the villains. , But now, they have domesticated velociraptors, established camps and villages, reclaimed wasteland, and found several kinds of crops that have never been discovered. I know that freedmen are as wise as we are, and the ones in my White Tower Colleagues turned a blind eye to this!" Edwin said to Victor with some excitement. The old scholar had been trying to persuade his colleagues in Baita to collect and sort out the knowledge and skills circulating among civilians, but was ridiculed by most people.

"Master, you haven’t answered the question about the freedmen and the church yesterday. You know that I don’t know much about the church and I’m not an experienced lord. Please tell me , How should I handle the relationship with the church.” With that, Victor solemnly bowed to Edwin with a noble courtesy.

"Victor, as a lord, you have agreed to join the White Tower camp. It is time to tell you something." Edwin adjusted his emotions and said to Victor.

Not waiting for Victor's instructions, Nelson dispelled the surrounding crowd and called the guards to alert the surroundings.

"Master, I'm listening." Casting an admiring look at Nelson, Victor said to Edwin.

"Let’s talk about free people first. Free people are refugees. These people are actually civilians who have no land. They have a difficult life, but they are endless. Do you know why?"

Edwin didn’t wait for Victor’s answer, and continued: “The fundamental reason is land. Land is limited but the population has been growing. When a territory’s land is not enough to feed all the people, the extra people become a need for self-reliance. Free people who make a living. You see, a Baron leader, after several generations of lords, this territory will gradually be enfeoffed. A little extra land will not be available. At this time, even the children of the vassal family may need it. Make a living by yourself, even more how lower Level 1 leaders."

"But vassals don’t want their children to become humble free people, and their will will affect their lord. At this time Expansion and annexation became the only options for the lord, and the war broke out. If it was a war between two lords, the loser would lose the land, and his vassals and lord would become free people."

"Don’t expect the victors to take in the leaders and vassals. Their own vassals will not allow this to happen. These people need more land to feed their offspring, even their offspring. Not yet born, all vassals are xenophobic."

Hearing this, Victor nodded, he finally understood why Emperor Rand captured the land of the three eastern provinces of Gambis, but did not accept those vassals. People, but drove them all away. Because he needs these lands to appease the lords and generals who worked for him.

“This is indeed the case. After the loss of the Three Eastern Provinces, more than 120,000 people have been displaced. Most of them have migrated Outside the people, it only accommodates more than 18,000 people. Although the land here is more than the three eastern provinces combined, the reality is that the lords of the overwhelming majority are not willing to accept more free people." Bruce nodded said.

Victor was silent. When he came to take office, there were countless free men outside Black Castle Town waiting to be recruited. Unfortunately, there were very few lords willing to recruit.

Think about it. If a family does not have enough land reserves, even its own descendant Knight cannot be retained. When the time comes, how can it face the attacks of other families?

"Victor, don’t think that your territory is vast and you can accept free people at will. You must know that the territory of our York family is several times larger than yours, with more than 60,000 people and vassals, but our There are only more than 3,000 soldiers. Mrs. Sylvia thinks that this is already the limit. No matter how much it will affect the potential of the family’s development, you will not be able to control more free people with your current strength. You need to use land to recruit Knight to guard your territory. Only later can we consider recruiting more leaders."

Fearing that Victor has committed another benevolent problem, he ran to Black Castle to recruit more freedmen. Bruce sincerely warned that during this period of time, He has regarded Victor as a friend.

"Since the land is as expensive as this treasure, why don't we explore more territories?" Victor nodded to Bruce gratefully, and couldn't help asking again.

"Hehe, little Victor, I told you a long time ago that Centaur Hills is not Barbarian Desolate Land. There are few monsters here. You can't imagine the dangers of Barbarian Desolate Land." Edwin said with a smile.

"Beyond the mountains in the northern part of Naville Kingdom, there is a vast expanse of land. For hundreds of years, Naville Kingdom has built countless fortresses in the mountains, not to defend against Sasanian, but to resist the powerful The alien race."

"You have seen the goblins, but you probably don’t know. In the last ages, the pioneering Knights who died in the hands of the goblins are countless. In the real Barbarian Desolate Land, any goblin tribe There are thousands of goblins, among them hobgoblins and bear goblins account for a large proportion. even more how they also have terrifying ogre."

Victor has seen goblins, but he hasn’t seen them. Hobgoblins and bear goblins, but he knows that hobgoblins have wisdom, and bear goblins are all ferocious monsters!

"If the Foresters had not withdrawn from Centaur Hills by themselves, Gambis Kingdom would not dare to make the idea here. Even when Rand Empire was at its strongest, they would be bloodied in front of the Foresters. , You must know that the proportion of orcs is astonishing."

Edwin's words shocked Victor. He finally realized that the difficulties of humans in this world exceeded his imagination.

"So, the cost of war between lords is much lower than the cost of opening up the wilds. It's no wonder that Sasan Empire didn't open up the wilderness in the east, but chose to go south to start the war." Victor murmured.

"It is true!" Edwin said heavily.

Victor can understand the meaning behind this heaviness. The ordinary soldiers who die the most in the Lords' War are the ordinary soldiers, while Knight's death is very few.

First of all, Knight is much stronger than the ordinary person. It is difficult to be killed by ordinary soldiers in battle. Even if the soldiers are in a battle, Knight can't beat them, but they can run away. The ordinary person can't catch up with Knight. Speed, even more how Knight’s perverted physical strength. In the battle between Knights, unless it is a Knight duel, there is rarely a deadly battle. Even if they are captured, they can be redeemed by the family.

In short, such a war reduces the number of civilians regardless of whether it is won or lost, thereby alleviating the contradictions caused by population growth. As long as the family's Knight is still there, even if the war is lost, there is a chance for a comeback.

If it is to open up the wilderness, then the situation is different. Those monsters are all cannibals. They don't have a tacit understanding with the lord. Knight is equally edible to them, and the taste is even better.

Knight is very strong. It can face hordes of bear goblins, and the probability of escaping is not great. One is relying on Battle Qi to burst out terrifying power, and the other is relying on its own abnormal physique. When Knight When Battle Qi is almost consumed, he can only drink hate on the spot.

Therefore, in the absence of unity in the human world, there will be no lord who will open up the wilderness on a large scale, because once he consumes his own strength, he will not be able to escape the outcome of being annexed, and the war within the human race It becomes the choice to alleviate the contradiction.

As a result, free people are endless. This is the status quo.

"Victor, this is the lord’s world. It is completely different from the luxurious and comfortable life in the capital. You must become strong as soon as possible, otherwise..."

"I see!" Victor said in a quiet voice, and Bruce's deep eyes made him fight in a cold war.

After a while, Edwin broke the silence between the three and asked Victor: "Victor, do you know what a nobleman is?"

"The nobleman is Knight! "Victor said solemnly, he has already thought about this problem.

"Yes! Knight is the nobleman, and the nobleman is the Knight. We are the natural leaders of mankind, because we have the innate talent and power that the ordinary person does not have. This power continues in our bloodline and Let humans have the confidence to fight against monsters and orcs, so we become nobles and lords." Edwin nodded said, saying as it should be by rights, and said with confidence.

Victor couldn't help but want to cover his face. The old scholar seemed to forget that he, like Victor, did not awaken the Knight innate talent.

"Why don't we spread this bloodline innate talent to more people?" Victor asked whisperingly.

From the perspective of a modern person, Knight is really awesome. If so, why not let more people rise up, when the time comes, what kind of orcs, what kind of monsters? Ah, not all of them are leveled!

I really think about the future of mankind! I don’t want to be a stallion, oh no, I don’t want to be a bull! Victor said to himself in his heart.

Victor just listened to Edwin’s passionate advocacy that he wanted to cover his face but did not cover his face, but Edwin listened to Victor’s words, but he covered his old face...

" Victor, the purer the Knight bloodline, the greater the probability of awakening the innate talent, and the higher the element affinity, and the Knight bloodline is also divided into high and low. For example, the bloodline of the three Royal families frequently appears Golden Knight, and The Rand Empire Imperial Family even appeared as the Golden Knight stepping into the Legendary Domain, and twice!” Bruce explained to Victor.

"I really don’t know what Sophia has taught you? Don’t you even tell you such basic common sense?"

Edwin said angrily: "You have to know, how much In order to obtain the bloodline of Golden Knight, the lord even gave up his daughter and wife! Some ruined nobles even intermarried relatives in order to regain the glory of the family! You can imagine the importance of the purity of the Knight bloodline!"

"Also, Knight has a hard time giving birth. If you make Nicole pregnant, I promise she will give birth to a child!" Edwin said coldly, and he added something in his heart, especially if you are an old bloodliner like you, give birth to a child. It's even more difficult.

Victor really covered his face this time...

He knew it would! After a night of embarrassment, Nicole's last bit of greenness has completely faded away. Now Dame's smile with a smile is really soft as water, even a blind knows what happened last night.

"Common sense has been filled for you. Now I will tell you a secret of the White Tower camp."

After Edwin coughed, he continued: "Actually, in the Chosen One era, We, Knight, belong to the wizard!"

"What did you say?!"
