Being a lord in another world begins with farming

Chapter 14 Uneasy Heart
How could Maya not be aware of such a big change in Shire, but she was so smart that she didn't ask, and she didn't mean to inquire. As a senior head maid, she knows very well that you can only know if the master let you know, and don't let you know. I know, even if I know, I don't know.

Otherwise, it doesn’t matter if the maid who is famous for her loyalty is not one or two. When the master thinks that you can only rest assured if you die, then you can only die.

80.00% of the serving maids died of unnatural deaths, and the rest either swore to serve the church for a lifetime of penance, or became disabled who could not hear, speak, or write, and this was already the mercy of the master.

The reason for all this is that they are loyal enough, so the master will let them deal with some extremely secretive things, but little can add up. When too many secrets of oneself are known, it is inevitable that they will feel uneasy, so they can only let them to die.

The luckier thing about Maya than other maids she serves is that she has an unusual relationship with the Countess who is loyal to her. Apart from the master-servant relationship, they are also lovers, so she can grasp more secrets and rights, even reaching the level of the newly crowned female countess. The earl's son didn't dare to attack her easily, otherwise how could she have survived to this day.

In fact, just as Owen guessed, the rich life experience and her own experience have made Maya no longer a pure servant girl.

Of course, she still abides by the bottom line of serving a maid and must not harm her master in any way, but on this basis, what's wrong with making her life better and happier?
Owen didn't know about Maya's thoughts, he was busy researching the system.

After breaking through the limit, the upper limit of the progress value reached [-] points, and initially involved the transcendent field, giving him more choices.

However, after some research, Owen found out that the upper limit of [-]-point progress value is so weak, but any better Transcendent goals exceed the upper limit, or the price/performance ratio is too low, which makes him fall into the difficulty of choosing. Keep your eyes on the present.

With the breakthrough of the upper limit, the speed of progress value recovery has increased a lot.

After Owen's observation, the recovery speed of the progress value from zero to three is the fastest, and it slows down significantly when it reaches five, and the recovery speed after ten is getting slower and slower. If you want to recover to twenty points, the time consumed is equivalent to going from zero to zero. Three or four times to ten.

Therefore, the most efficient way is to exchange for units with a progress value of three to five points, so that there are conditions for forming cavalry.

Although swordsmen and archers are very useful, cavalry are deterrent to the outside world.

The only cavalry worth three progress points are scout cavalry and light cavalry. The former is biased towards scouting, while the latter's combat effectiveness is too weak. It can only bully long-range units and light infantry without formation. If you fight head-on, the casualty rate is too high. It is not worthwhile. Direct exchange for more cost-effective cuirassiers.

Although the cuirassiers worth five progress points are slower to exchange, the cuirassiers equipped with spears and shields have the ability to attack the enemy's frontal formation. They are not as vulnerable as light cavalry, and their defense against bows and arrows has also been strengthened. They can be used in the front The battlefield deterrence is not low.

As long as there is a small group of cuirassiers filling the scene, those who want to provoke Owen will carefully consider the consequences. After all, it is difficult for even a knight to fight against a small group of cuirassiers who charged.

For the sake of confidentiality, Owen did not choose to exchange in the castle this time. He took his soldiers to hunt in the Magic Horn Forest. This is a noble tradition, in case the beasts that lack food before winter run out of the forest, even if you don’t know how to hunt. , but also to put on a show and watch the soldiers do it, after all, it is a tradition.

But all of what Owen did was to deceive Maya. To put it bluntly, he couldn't play with the other party, and he didn't know what to do, so he wanted to hide some secrets, just like the old men who automatically learned to hide their private money after marriage. The survival instinct of male animals.

Owen didn't cover up Maya's distrust too much, because at his level, he couldn't hide it from the other party. It's better to just put on an attitude that you haven't gained my trust.

This is normal, he is the master, he is a nobleman, naturally suspicious of everything, and will not trust anyone easily, so even Maya didn't think there was anything wrong.

In fact, Owen's inner thoughts are more complicated. As a time traveler, he relies on Maya with a strong sense of loneliness, both physically and emotionally, but he also does not fully trust her.

The reason is also very simple, experience.

Too much life experience creates a complex heart, which is why Owen is willing to trust Shire but can't let go of his vigilance against Maya.

In the previous life, the price of trust would be heartbreak and money at most, but in this world, the price of trust is often more direct, because killing people is too simple, and who knows what kind of torture he will suffer in order to dig out his secret, even more so. In order to control what means he will use, too many unknowns.

The unknown and fear make it difficult for Owen to trust a person, and even Shire can only be regarded as half.

As for completely gaining his trust, Owen thinks it is impossible, even if he dies for him. This is a magical world, and anything can happen, and death is not irreversible, so he can't be too careful .

Therefore, although the two parties had some in-depth exchanges beyond the boundaries, and they enjoyed it and were obsessed with it, Owen is not a kid who is easily dazzled by love, throwing away everything for the so-called love or lust, The polishing of life makes it easier for him to calm down and not to be impulsive easily, because he often cannot afford the price of impulsiveness.

Based on various concerns, Owen instinctively wanted to keep a few hands. The Magic Horn Forest was just the first step, and it would not be the best if he could use it. If he could use it, it would be worth his effort.

As for why the Magic Horn Forest was chosen, one is that it is relatively close to the castle, and the other is that it is very dangerous and no one will approach it.

Not to mention the poisonous horned tree and the cunning and cruel horned goblins, the beasts living here alone are enough to take the lives of most people, so except for desperate robbers, few people are willing to step here, so It's secretive enough.

However, although the periphery of the Magic Horn Forest is relatively safe, it is only relative. Therefore, in addition to exchanging some peasants, Owen also needs to exchange some additional units, some powerful units, otherwise he may not see any living people next time.

It stands to reason that Owen shouldn't have wasted his precious labor here before rebuilding the city wall, but who told him that he didn't act completely according to reason, and was even a stupid novice. It has been used, which makes his use of the golden finger very inefficient. Otherwise, he would not trust Maya very much, but hand over a lot of work to the other party. It is not to improve efficiency and avoid waste.

Moreover, the arrangement in the Magic Horn Forest is not so much a way to leave behind a trick, but a way for Owen to appease his inner anxiety, so he put a lot of energy into it.
