Chapter 149 Knight Qualification
"Is there no more accurate data?"
Standing on the wide flat ground, listening to what Sid said on the side, Adil frowned.
"This, sorry..."
Seeing the expression on Adil's face, Sid's feet softened, and he knelt down halfway directly in front of Adil: "Because there are too many wanderers and beasts outside the wilderness, the population of those villages is constantly changing. It's changing, and it's too troublesome to count, so there's never been an accurate count..."
"If you don't count the population, how do you collect taxes?"
Looking at Sid who was half-kneeling in front of him, Adiel asked strangely.
"Tax?" Sid froze for a moment: "When the grain in the field is ripe, just go to the farmland to collect it."
Hearing this, Adil was a little speechless: "Send someone to count the population in the territory for me in a few days. I want to know the detailed data."
"Yes!" Standing on the spot, listening to Adil's orders, Sid nodded quickly and said with cold sweat on his face.
After talking about these trivial matters, they slowly walked towards the manor.
The area of this manor is not very large, but it is not small, and there are some simple walls around it.
Inside, some servants are farming, and some of them are children, making some subtle sounds from time to time.
Overall, Adil is quite satisfied with the environment here.
The reason why he came to this world is to search for some resources unique to this world.
In order to better achieve this goal, it is also necessary to build a stable rear in this world and gather some indigenous people of this world to serve them.
"But before that, we need to train some suitable subordinates."
Walking on the stone-paved path, looking at the dozens of servants kneeling all around him, Adil thought to himself.
The strength of the people in this world is too weak, just the words of some ordinary people, not to mention the strangeness, even some ordinary mutant monsters will not be able to bear it. In the end, instead of being able to help Adil, he might need Adil to act as a nanny for these people.
Thinking of this, while walking in the manor, Adil issued the first order as a territory.
In the name of collecting bodyguards, he gathered all the people under the age of 30 around him.
However, to his disappointment, perhaps because of the dangers in this world, even if it is located in a noble manor, there are very few people who meet his conditions, so he has to relax the conditions and let people under the age of forty also participate in the selection. .
This age is already the limit.
The practice of Knight's Breathing has limitations, and it has high requirements on the practitioner's own vitality. The younger the practitioner, the better the exercise effect.
Once you pass the age of forty, unless you are stimulated by Adil with violent and precise methods like Saul before, otherwise it is basically impossible to train any results, and Adil's time can only be wasted in vain .
After the conditions were loaned, among the more than 500 people in the entire manor, including underage children and women, only less than 200 people met the conditions. In the end, there was only one person who possessed the qualifications of a knight.
"What's your name?"
On the widened flat ground, Adil stood on the flat ground, looking at the young man in front of him and asked.
"My lord...I, my name is West..."
Standing in front of Adil was a thin young man with a worn black cloth cap. His withered face looked obviously malnourished. At this time, facing Adil, Sid and the others standing in front of him, he was a little confused. stammered said.
He was wearing a tattered black coat that was obviously much wider, with many patches on it, and looked very torn. At this time, his face looked a little nervous.
"Sydham, right?"
Looking at Sidem in front of him, Adil forcibly endured the impatience in his heart and reluctantly said, "You will be my bodyguard from today on, understand?"
"Yes...Yes, I understand." Standing in front of Adil,
Listening to Adil's words, Sidem nodded quickly and said, although his face was nervous, he could also see the obvious excitement.
"As a reward for you becoming my bodyguard, your private slave status can be cancelled, and you will be a free citizen from now on."
Looking at his excited face, Adil said directly: "I will set aside ten acres of land in the manor as your private land, and all the production there will be owned by you in the future."
"Sid, have someone take him down and change into a suit."
Without waiting for the other party to speak, Adil waved his hand directly and gestured to Sid who was standing beside him.
Listening to Adil's words, Sid nodded first, and then asked the servant on the side to take Sidem down in front of him.
"Sir... This kind of reward will be a little more."
After the Sidham in front of him went down, Sid couldn't help but stand up and said, obviously a little resentful about Sidru's reward: "It's a great honor to be selected as a bodyguard by your lord, it's not at all. What reward must be given to these untouchables."
As soon as his words fell, a huge pressure suddenly hit, making his eyes dark, and he could hardly help fainting.
In front of him, Adier glanced at him lightly, and the mental power in his mind moved, causing huge pressure on the other party: "Don't worry, there are not too many guards like him."
"Take me to a few other villages tomorrow."
He glanced at Sid who was standing in front of him and walked straight ahead.
the next day.
Accompanied by several knights in green leather armor, Adil walked into the distance.
"Sir, the next village is coming soon."
Walking on the path outside the wilderness, after several hours, the guards on the side reported to Adil.
At the end of the road ahead, a small village appeared, and some people were already gathering at this time.
Because he was coming to investigate today, as early as yesterday, Adil sent people to these villages to inform them and prepare them to welcome him.
Walking to the village in front, I saw Adil's figure, and several people walked up quickly.
This is the guard stationed in the local village. After seeing Adil coming, he hurriedly came to greet him.
After chatting casually for a while, Adil walked forward, where there were already some waiting.
According to Adier's appearance yesterday, people under the age of forty have gathered here. At this time, they all stand aside with their heads lowered, daring to look at Adil.
Most of the people in front of them were tattered, thin and malnourished, and very few were physically fit.
This is because it is too dangerous to survive outside the wilderness. There is not enough meat, and it is difficult to develop a good physique by relying only on some scarce rations.
Standing quietly on horseback and looking at the people in front of him, Adil frowned a little: "So there are only adult men? What about children and women?"
Standing beside Adil, listening to these words, the guards of the village were stunned for a moment.
The order he received was only to select guards, so he directly excluded women and children, and didn't think much of it at all.
Hearing Adil's words at this time, although he was puzzled, he quickly called out the women and children who met the conditions in the surrounding villages.
After a while, in the center of the village, hundreds of people stood here, looking at Adil in the distance, with some expectation deep in their eyes.
"let's start."
Looking at these people in front of him, Adil dismounted and instructed the guards beside him, "Let them come up one by one."
After saying this, he sat on the wooden chair beside him, quietly waiting for the person in front to come up slowly.
"Next."
After a while, sitting on the wooden chair and looking at the young man with a look of anticipation in front of him, Adil said without expression.
Suddenly, there was disappointment in the eyes of the young man in front of him. After turning around and walking out, another tall middle-aged man came up.
This is a man with a stubble face, a very tattered robe, and his eyes are a little cloudy. Standing in front of Adil at this time, his face is a little numb.
Quietly looking at the middle-aged man in front of him, in Adiel's mind, a large amount of data continued to emerge, creating a detailed image of the human body.
"The detection is complete...the target does not meet the requirements..." In my mind, the voice of the chip machine sounded.
Listening to the mechanical prompt in his mind, Adil's face was expressionless, but he sighed inwardly.
Since he was promoted to the third-class apprentice, in addition to the faster speed of saving energy through the ability, the function of the chip bound to his soul has also been greatly improved. Through the detailed analysis of the human body, it is possible to roughly detect a Whether the person has the qualifications of a knight.
Compared with the wizarding qualifications that involve the soul, the knightly qualifications are more manifested in the body. People with knight qualifications will have some physical data different from ordinary people, which can be detected by the chip, thus roughly detecting whether they have knight qualifications.
But even so, in the past two days, Adil still did not achieve much.
In this regard, it has to be said that in the wizarding world, there is a certain reason why the bloodline and family are so important.
Without the blood of knights and wizards, among ordinary mortals, although there may be people with the qualifications of knights and wizards, the probability is too small, so small that Adil can't accept it.
In the past two days, in addition to the manor, he also walked through four villages and saw at least 500 people. In the end, the only person with knight qualifications was Sidem, who was discovered earlier.
This probability makes Adier speechless.
"Unfortunately, there has never been a knight who activates the seed of life in this world before, and there is no family with knight blood. We can only find it slowly from these civilians."
After testing the last person, Adil stood up and was about to leave the village.
"Lead the way to the last village."
As he walked on the road, he instructed the guard beside him.
