Chapter 199 Officially Joins

In this world, the sons of nobles without inheritance rights follow another great noble for three things: wealth, power, and fiefdom.

The difficulty of obtaining these three things is also in a progressive relationship.

Someone has calculated that a freeman who wants to become a fiefdom noble generally goes through four stages:

The first generation becomes an official or servant of the noble as a freeman;

The second generation awakens extraordinary abilities, follows the noble to make achievements, and becomes a canonized knight, that is, the lowest noble, also known as a knight;

The third generation is officially canonized on the basis of the knight, relying on merit.

Although some special people can shorten the process of becoming a noble from a freeman, most of them rely on several generations of accumulation, talent and luck to enter the noble class.

Although Rogna has good talent and an unusual background, it is unlikely that he will become a fiefdom noble in Ronin in a short time.

He is like this, and Grado, whose background is slightly more ordinary than his, is even more so.

As for Kurami, she is actually bound to Rogna, after all, the two are a couple who are about to get married.

So the second point mentioned by Ronin is actually nothing to the three of them.

"My Lord, these are not a problem."

Rogna took the lead and stood up, kneeling on one knee again, "I have thought about it before coming here, please accept my loyalty!"

Kurami and Grado also knelt on one knee and swore allegiance again.

Ronin's mouth corners slightly raised, revealing a knowing smile.

In this case, what reason does he have to refuse?

"Then, I formally welcome the three of you to join Wubei Territory!"

So far, in addition to Joffrey, Ronin's knights have one more senior knight.

Wubei Territory now has two silver knights, two senior knights, and three intermediate knights. The combat effectiveness of such a knight team is already top-notch.

Next, Ronin talked to the three about the treatment after joining Wubei Territory.

This is the same as others, and the corresponding remuneration is matched according to the strength level.

Rogna, a senior knight, has a daily salary of 100 copper coins, Krami, a mid-level knight, has a daily salary of 60 copper coins, and Grado, a junior knight, has a daily salary of 30 copper coins.

If they are attached to a position, such as Ridar as a commander, McKen as a guard officer, etc., there are additional position bonuses.

In addition to these, as a lord, Ronin will prepare a set of armor and war horses for them.

However, Rogna and the other two brought these things with them, which saved Ronin's trouble. Now he only needs to provide accommodation for the three of them.

When he was in Shanlin Town before, due to limited resources, Ronin let the knights live in the rooms of the inner or outer castles.

But the castle is the place where the lord lives after all, and not all followers are qualified to live in the castle.

Now the situation in the territory is gradually getting on track, and some things that were not considered before have to be planned.

For example, Ronin can set aside a piece of land around the castle to create a "noble community", and only the extraordinary people who follow Ronin or the VIPs who come to the territory can live in this community.

Of course, this is just a concept at present. If you really want to engage in real estate, you must have enough population first.

The current situation is that if followers want to live in better houses, such as those with independent courtyards and large areas, they can apply for land from Ronin and hire workers to build them themselves.

For Ronin, the top priority of the territory now is to provide housing for the thousands of slaves who are about to arrive, and the construction of the noble community will have to wait for a while.

After all, there are some empty houses in the outer fort of the Swamp Castle and the town, so it is no problem to arrange for Rogner and others to stay temporarily.

After Ronin asked Chahar to take the three people to settle down, he left Tom again to ask about the situation of the Viper Slave Exchange.

According to the steward Anthony, the Viper Exchange has prepared 400 slaves who meet the requirements and can be transported at any time.

At the same time, the remaining 600 slaves will be gathered in the next two months.

Now that spring plowing is imminent, the territory is in need of labor.

Ronin immediately asked Tom to notify Pearson to go to the Viper Slave Exchange after arriving in the Horse City, and let Anthony arrange for people to transport all the 400 slaves to the Swamp Town.

Roning planned to send all the remaining 600 slaves to Shanlin Town, after all, there were still more than 40,000 acres of land that had not been reclaimed.

As for the reclamation of Black Soil Village, Roning planned to transfer a group of people directly from Swamp Town after the spring plowing. After all, there was a shortcut from Swamp Town to the Black Collar Tribe, which was much more convenient than transferring people from Shanlin Town.

Roning was very serious about farming, and he didn't want to spend hundreds or thousands of gold coins to buy food outside.

That night, Roning summoned all the knights including Rydar, McKen, and Joffrey, and held a welcome dinner in the Swamp Castle.

While the knights welcomed Rogner and the other two, they also felt a sense of pressure.

Now that the lord is so powerful that he can attract the second son of the Viscount family to pledge allegiance, more and more people will come to pledge allegiance in the future.

David, Tom and others are still only junior knights. How to show their abilities to the lord and gain more trust before more followers arrive is something they need to consider.

Late at night, Rogna and Kurami were lying on the bed, the candlelight lighting up the room.

"What are you thinking about?" Kurami asked in a low voice.

Rogna, who was in a trance, came back to his senses and smiled, "I was thinking about what Rydal said to me at the banquet just now."

There was no dance at the dinner, but there was a fight.

In order to understand Rogna's strength, Rydal took the initiative to ask for a fight.

Rogna knew he would lose, but he didn't expect that he would lose more miserably than against James Monson.

He has always been a very powerful young generation in the eyes of outsiders, but standing in front of Rydal, who looks about the same age as him, he was suppressed in all aspects and couldn't fight back.

"That Rydal is so strong, I even doubt that Sir Sori is not his opponent."

Kurami frowned slightly, "Not really, Sir Sori is a strong man who has half a foot in the silver level. That Rydal barely beat Baron Rayson a while ago."

Rogna shook his head, he even began to doubt whether Rayson deliberately said this to exaggerate himself, maybe Rydal won the fight easily.

"In addition to Redar, McKen and Joffrey, I didn't expect that Ronin already has so many knights following him."

Rogna couldn't help but sigh. The last time he came to Ronin's territory, he felt ordinary.

But this time, after officially meeting this group of knights, he was really shocked.

Most of them are young, have great potential, and one or two of them are very passionate and motivated. In time, someone will definitely stand out.

For this point, Kurami deeply agrees.

She didn't understand why Uncle Marvin would let his son follow Ronin, a noble who is younger than Rogna. It was not until she experienced the banquet tonight that she figured out what "huge potential" meant.

"Okay, don't think about it."

Rogna lay down and hugged Kurami in his arms, "Tomorrow we will follow Redar and others to carry out the clearing mission, so go to bed early."

At the dinner, Ronin had made arrangements for Rogna and Kurami.

If the caravan in the territory has valuables that need to be traded and transported, they will lead the escort.

The reason why Ronin made such an arrangement was that Rogna was more trustworthy than Pearson, and he was a senior knight with sufficient strength;

Secondly, Rogna was the son of Viscount Marvin, unlike Pearson who was just an ordinary person, and he could perform better in some formal occasions.

Even when talking to the nobles about the silk business later, Ronin could let them talk. After all, Rogna must have the ability in this area because he was born in the Ironhoof Castle, a family with strong business capabilities.

In summary, Ronin felt that it was a very appropriate arrangement to let the two of them contact the caravan of Wubei Territory.

Of course, when they were free from business, the tasks of the two would be arranged by Commander Ridar according to the situation, such as the recent vigorous clearing mission, which could involve the two of them.

"Alas~"

Kramie smiled bitterly: "The days of freedom are gone in the future."

Rogna couldn't help but laugh. Compared with the free life of the two of them who were dependent on the family before, they would have to obey the arrangements of others in the future, which was indeed less free.

But they will eventually have to start their own family and plan for the future. They can't always rely on the family and have to go out.

It takes a lot of courage for Kurami to accompany him and take the initiative to step out of the comfort zone. Rogna is very grateful.

"I believe our tomorrow will be better."

He couldn't help but kiss the other's lips, "Good night."

"Well, good night!" (End of this chapter)
