prince of europe in quintiles

"Dad! Do you think it's time to publicize this matter?" Huo Teng's scalp was about to explode. He pulled old Ma Di's sleeve and hurriedly tried to stop his father.

The family is about to explode over Amelia's unwanted pregnancy, and old Maddy just ignores it.

In fact, Amelia is now in a state of constant surprises and even being dazzled, she is not even in the mood to communicate with other noble women in this family.

Jones, who is holding her son Gunter, has heard about this for a long time, and she also knows that Ma Di has been urging Huo Teng to prepare an heir for Schneider, but seeing with her own eyes that the widow who has been running around with Huo Teng actually has morning sickness like this , this matter still makes her feel full of awkwardness.

Compared with Jones, who didn't care much, the reaction on the other side was even more explosive.

The charming and frightening Countess was overwhelmed by anger, and Connorsa's green eyes were full of jealous and unattainable anger. She longed for countless times to have a child with Huo Teng as soon as possible, so as to inherit Goting Root country, but the results often backfired.Perhaps because she was so beautiful that God deprived her of the ability to reproduce?

And the delicate Goldi Sidiou seemed even more uncomfortable.The girl from a famous family is obviously not that down-to-earth. When she first experienced the chaotic interpersonal relationship in the countryside, her face was full of incomprehension and complaints towards Huo Teng.

How can you get together with the widow?How could she be allowed to inherit the title of eldest brother after giving birth to a child?According to noble tradition, shouldn't she stay quietly in the monastery?

Of course, Goldistein didn't realize that Huo Teng's actions were in line with religious beliefs.

The Genesis of the Bible once clearly recorded a case exactly the same as Huo Teng's case. It said that the eldest brother of a family died, and the father let the second child have the same room with the eldest brother's widowed wife to have offspring.However, the second child felt that I could not bully my widowed sister-in-law. I did not forget about being a woman, but when it was time to send out the child, I got it on the ground. God thought he was disgusting, so he killed him.

According to this logic, Christianity encourages a family to solve the problem of cutting off children and grandchildren internally.The question is, is Christianity today the same as that in the Bible?

With these questions lingering in his mind, Goldis Diu couldn't help but stand with Conorsha. The wives, big and small, all looked angry, which made Huo Teng very confused.

Press the gourd and the ladle will appear, how can this family be a mess.

The two older wives looked at each other coldly, the youngest wives had nothing to do with him, and the old man just wanted to spread the word that he was very sexually active...

Huo Teng still wanted to show it at the Knights Tournament. In his current state, he might not have spread the word about his romantic affairs first.

Anyway... Huo Teng couldn't stay any longer.

That night Horten lay in the stable, sharing a blanket with Laura.

Laura seemed to understand something. She probably knew that Huo Teng had impregnated the woman, so when Huo Teng woke up in the morning, he found that Laura had also pushed him away several meters away, holding the blanket by herself. Sleep in the straw all night.

Laura gnawed the wheat leisurely, her face full of disgust.

The subsequent development was indeed as Huo Teng guessed.

Old Ma Di ran home all the way, and took the money from Huo Teng to set up a table in the village, so that everyone in the village would know that Schneider had a son.

But this also caused another consequence. Almost everyone is discussing, can the countess do it?

Huo Teng's first wife's children are almost able to walk, and after a few months of dealing with the widowed wife, they have everything they should have.Connorsa, can you do it?

They have been together for two or three years, and the story of Huo Teng running to the stables in the middle of the night to fool around with the countess is now widely spread. Coupled with Huo Teng's status as a monk, this story has cast a background of the fall of the Holy Son. , Why hasn't even a child been seen until now?

In some legends of the Middle Ages, women who are too beautiful are sent by the devil to lure people to fall.Some good-natured people used this story as the template of the succubus and the holy son, so that Huo Teng directly sent people to put these bastards in prison, and invited them to experience the pleasure of stick education.

But when he learned that Connorsa even tried to seek help from the witch, Huo Teng finally couldn't sit still, and he felt that he had to talk to her.

Having children is not a problem, but don't listen to those witches and gods who say that if you really eat a frog and yell three times I will get pregnant, or hang a seven-year-old's teeth on a tree, etc.

None of these things work.

We should carefully calculate the safety period, and then slowly prepare for pregnancy.

Naturally, Huo Teng was almost scratched by Kang Nuosha.

Conosha once believed that Huo Teng definitely felt that he had no children, so he would consider marrying a younger one again, and the whole castle would be in chaos during this time.

……

Of course, Huo Teng didn't let the family affairs affect the normal process other than flying around.

The halfling, Griff Big Tooth, undertook the construction of the giant beast breeding farm for Huo Teng. After a spring of preparation, the halflings finally finished this building that was too huge for them.

And the first guest here is the unlucky kid who was kicked out of the house, half-griffin and quick-spirited.

Kuai Ling, whose bone was broken in the duel between Huo Teng and the Black Dragon Knights, is gradually recovering, but it seems that it is difficult for it to run on the battlefield soundly.

"Boss, we got it."

Griff's people came leading another half-griffin.

Seeing the arrival of the new griffin, the stone in Griff's heart finally fell.

The giant beast breeding farm was established a long time ago, but no breeding species entered for a long time. It was because Griff's people had only raised fast spirits, and they were afraid that they would raise other giant beasts to death. They lose trust.

And recently, Laura's entry made Griff even more vigilant.

If Huo Teng found a group of centaurs, these newly rational and social creatures would drive the halflings away.

Fortunately, Griff asked the people to look for their relatives along the Weser River, and finally found the same half-and-half-griffin in a place called Brunswick.

"Now we can try to train the monster rider."

Chapter 220 Two, Go to the Kang, You

In the giant beast farm, a few unlucky subordinate knights were trying to ride the male half-half griffin, but unfortunately, only Huo Teng, who had never ridden much, could bear the two-legged mount, and beat the little one. Elite knights who are used to riding horses can't stand it.

Habits are too hard to change.

"My lord, who can ride this mount? It wants to peck me as soon as it pinches its calf, what should I do?" All the knights were frowning, not only because they couldn't tame this mount, but also because the half-half-griffin's combat power was not special. Strong, that is, faster and more flexible than a war horse.And they prefer to peck the enemy with their big horned beaks, which is really far from the riding and charging training that knights receive.Normally, a horse can be trained like an arm and a finger, but this thing is not as good as a horse, and it often follows nature when fighting.

Here in Huo Teng, there is no traditional breeding and training foundation for giant beasts like Lüneburg. If you want to make good use of this pair of monster genes, you have to spend more time.

"Lord, this... Let me tell you, the vulture matures very quickly. It can lay 10 eggs per year at the age of two. In the next four to fifty years, as long as it is properly domesticated and cultivated, it can grow to 50 eggs a year. An egg. Think again, let the knights try more? Maybe you will get used to it after a few rides." The halfling Griff pulled Huo Teng's skirt, looking like he wanted to highlight his breeding value.

"Vulture?" Huo Teng turned his head curiously, where did the name come from?I haven't said it before.

Griff Daya smiled awkwardly: "This is the name we discussed. After all, you want to breed it, so you can't keep calling it a bad griffin, that name is not good. If you are willing, we will name it Bo Wendeng Griffin."

Huo Teng felt that this guy was purely flattering himself, but the level of this name was really not very online.

"Hmph~" Laura swayed beside her, looking at the vulture who was singing happily after defeating the human who wanted to ride her, and let out a proud hum.

The unique Laura proudly showed off her strong body that could withstand [-] jins of running, frightening the knights beside her, fearing that she would rush over like a mountain and smash them to pieces.After showing her strength, Laura seemed to want to go into the fence to scare the male vulture, scaring the poor vulture into hiding in the corner, with guano continuously flowing out of the cloaca.

"Then what do you think we should do?" Huo Teng had a headache.

This can't be kept any longer, right?

Vultures are a fast-growing species. As long as someone provides a lot of feed, they can reproduce continuously for three seasons a year. After birth, they can produce 70 eggs. Each egg only needs 50 days to hatch, 20 Sexually mature in a few months, and can run hundreds of catties without losing to a war horse.But normally, it is not easy for a pair of vulture parents to raise a few in a year, and the excess is often lost or eaten.

It's just that ordinary nobles should not have much interest in vultures, and it's not cheap to raise them, and the main reason is the lack of relevant manpower and technology.For those nobles with little culture, catching halflings and forcing them to make food for themselves is a serious matter.

A small carriage was parked on the side of the road, and the beautiful, delicate and small Goldistein and the maid stood beside, watching everything that happened in the fence.

The smart and clever little girl suddenly had a big idea: "You can suggest to the earl, maybe ordinary riders who are not good at riding war horses can make big guys let go? I observed that these vultures don't like knights very much. Tactical maneuvers, especially belly kicks and reins."

The maid rushed over and sent Xiao Huangli's suggestion to Huo Teng.

"Those who are not very good at manipulating warhorses...go, call my single-feathered light cavalry." Huo Teng thought of his own group of country party members, from the country gentry and local tyrants near Bowendeng village.

Soon, these people who heard that they could issue new mounts to themselves hurried over.

Huo Teng asked them to change to vultures one by one, and the effect was that they could only go from being unable to go to the battlefield to being able to charge on the battlefield.

Because their riding skills are not superb, they can only ride on their backs with peace of mind and let the vultures run in the direction they choose, and the rest is purely left to luck.Eighty percent of the effect of riding a spear is just to push away the enemy's arrows, and the damage only comes from the attack of the vulture itself.

[Create Arms: Single Feather Vulture Knight]

Excellent troop: Single-feathered vulture knight (basic number: 30 people, recruitment fee 50 gold, monthly salary 15 gold. Although he is a freeman from the countryside, his riding skills are acceptable, and he is good at letting the mounted bird perform freely. Yes If you think they can charge, you are wrong. Traits: Terrorize the enemy, groups of vultures can frighten the enemy; frightened, the vultures are afraid of bow and arrow salvos, and are easily frightened. Special resources are required: vultures.)

"Okay... just not so good."

Huo Teng's evaluation of this unit is a bit tangled.

First of all, it is not expensive, 1/4 cheaper than the main retinue knight, suitable for mass adoption.But there are also problems. It is difficult for him to charge head-on, and his value is immediately reduced by 90%. A knight unit that is easy to be shot by bows and arrows can only be used to sneak attack the enemy's rear, or launch a well-timed attack on the flank.

And its cheapness depends on the fact that the vultures are bred separately, and this part of the expenditure does not need to be counted on it.If all of them are added, it will probably be more expensive than the retinue knight.

This is a functional arm, not a main combat arm.

Huo Teng felt that it was better to mix it with the retinue knight and use it at critical moments.

【You have been upgraded and gained skill points: 1】

It's quite strange, because Huo Teng hasn't been active recently, the news of upgrading is not as quick as before.

This time, Huo Teng immediately put his skill points on strategy.He now especially needs reliable strategic features, such as the ability to win over distant strategic allies.

[Military Distributor (Level 1): Army monthly salary consumption -5%]

It's just that the characteristics acquired this time are unpretentious, which is good, and not the kind that Huo Teng particularly needs.

Earlier, Huo Teng had been frightened by the fact that military pay easily took up more than [-]% of his income. He had already made two large-scale disbandments of the army, just to save money as much as possible.This feature is of course good, but the question is why did it appear after Huo Teng disbanded the army on a large scale?You come earlier, why does Huo Teng dismiss so many people.

Isn't this deliberate?

……

"Hotten~"

In the middle of the night, Conosha was leaning on the head of the bed wearing a light gauze, her green eyes were now as ferocious as a wolf, and she wished to immediately conjure Huo Teng's child out of thin air.

Although Easter is over, when most people are still wearing long sleeves, Connorsa even took off her underwear.

This intention couldn't be more obvious.

As for the prey she was keeping an eye on, Huo Teng was still thinking about the Knights Tournament.

There are still a few days before the battle will start. Many knights from other places are staying overnight in the Free City of Göttingen. There are not many fights, but there are quite a few people shitting everywhere, which makes the peasants angry.The girls not only shit in the fields, but also steal the cabbages from the farmers.

How many people should be recruited, how many people should be given up, how much bonuses should be given out, and how much these knights spend in Liberty City. Huo Teng doesn't want to lose money on this business anyway.

Moreover, it happened that Greya told Huo Teng that she was going to hold a market meeting for several days in a row, and then squeeze the consumption value of these knights.Prostitutes, peddlers, witches and men selling counterfeit medicines from all over the world may be just around the corner.

"Hotten!"

Connorsa got angry, and she kicked Huo Teng hard, throwing her gentle demeanor eighteen miles away.

"Why are you so anxious, haven't you talked about the safety period these days? After a while, wait for me to recharge my batteries..."

"Still recharging your energy? Are you planning to raise them all and bury them all in the tender hometown of the little oriole in Gaudiu? Let me tell you Huo Teng, if you don't give it to me today, we will never end."

Kang Nuosha was shocked, and Huo Teng could only obediently get on the kang.

Chapter 220 Three Between Expensive and Expensive

So, women may really be gentle, heroic tombs.

Huo Teng, who used to get up at two o'clock in the morning to do morning classes, lay on the bed until one o'clock in the noon before getting up leisurely.

At this time, some local knights gathered near the castle had already started several rounds of "oral gymnastics" training with foreign knights.The guards in the city were chatting on the top of the wall one by one, the servants downstairs were busy packing today's leftover lunch, and a few girls huddled together to secretly taste the leftovers of Huo Teng's family. Then they discussed in a low voice which young man among the residents outside the city wall was worthy of their favor.After all, as the servants of the Earl's family, and sometimes even the maids who have to replace Conosha to sleep with Huo Teng during the embarrassing period, they think of themselves quite high.

In Göttingenburg, this is purely the private land of the Horten family. Only their maids and loyal soldiers are stationed in rotation regularly. The size may be only a circle larger than the rural compound, so the location is always crowded.Miss Laura of the Stables lived in the largest bedroom in the house, served by three maids.

So if possible, the people in the castle are eager to go to the small town outside.

The real estate on the east side of Göttingenburg has all been paved with villages, and the villages and the plowed fields are gradually dense and compact. The population density here is already ten times that of the important town of Nottheim in the north.

From Göttingenburg, Göttingen Abbey, the Leine River to which the Weser River belongs, the Cathedral of Göttingen, to the Free City of Göttingen by the Duck Pond River to which the Rhine River belongs, this whole series of In terms of area, it can be regarded as a rare prosperous town in central Germany. Huo Teng has set up nine tax collectors here to ensure that he can deduct enough money from here.

Two wharf tax collectors are in charge of the commercial ships along the Leine River and the Duck Pond River, from which they collect varying proportions of commercial and trade taxes; a road tax collector and a mill tax collector are responsible for the roads and mills they are going to manage respectively; There is also a market tax official, and four tax officials responsible for statistics and collection of surrounding villages and real estate.

Horten was a cautious man, and he knew that these tax-collecting bastards would never display their penny-pinching personal virtues, even though Horten had handpicked these talents from among the priests of the monastery.Therefore, the jobs of the nine tax collectors are often replaced by Huo Teng, and their account books must be kept in Huo Teng's place.Huo Teng had other people to do the calculations, so that the group of bastards did not dare to do too much in public.

Therefore, when you stand around Big Göttingen, you will feel that the castle towering on the northwest side is just the commanding height of this big town, while the flat and low city on the northeast side seems not enough atmosphere.The churches and monasteries in the middle are not so magnificent. The city feels like a suture monster, with villages everywhere, connected to the main road by small roads.Even if the enemy attacked, they probably wouldn't be able to find where Huo Teng slept at night.

Adlaib, the son of a veteran in the Huo Teng family, at least that's how he advertised himself.

He now patrols the big town as sheriff of Greater Göttingen instead of Greb, who went to Kasselburg to restore the castle.

"Hey, don't throw your cow dung on the side of the road, collect it for me and put it in the woodshed. Do you have a lot of firewood in winter?"

"Tie the fence of your vegetable garden tighter, the earl has not yet thought of taxing your poor rations."

He habitually rides his little donkey and patrols everywhere on the main road.

From Eleven Old Village on the east side, go to the market and tavern in Liberty City to check if there are any thieves, listen to the sound of monks praying for afternoon classes in the church property in the middle, and then go outside the castle to check whether the moat is deep, and then go around Follow the mill in the south and return to the starting point.

Some people complain about Adlaib, why don't you grab a piece of real estate?

But the young man felt that he still had a lot of opportunities, and instead of running to a dangerous corner, it would be more promising to stay with the safe Huo Teng.

Today, Adlaib met Huo Teng's valued blacksmith couple, Schneider and his wife, on the side of the road.

According to gossip, Schneider and his wife are not only the best blacksmiths in the town, they also run an underground assassination organization on a part-time basis, collecting money from time to time to assassinate targets in other places.Whether it was right or not, Adlaib didn't dare to guess, so he always greeted the two of them with a smile on his face.

The couple should be going to pull charcoal. The first guild in Liberty City is the Blacksmiths Guild. More than a dozen blacksmiths run several shops here, and the business is booming every day.

In addition to the blacksmith's shop, there are tailor's shops, taverns, inns, carpenters, cattle dealers, etc., their duty is to serve everyone, and the shops are always open.This was regarded by Greya as a phased achievement.These shops will attract more shopkeepers nearby to buy goods, and also make the market more prosperous.
