Being a lord in another world begins with farming

Chapter 34
Owen, who has been turning on the halo of the devil king, does not look like a young boy. His whole body is covered by shadows, exuding an aura of cruelty and fear, which makes Viscount Fei Long and Cullens tremble uncontrollably. This has nothing to do with will, it is all The body's instinctive reaction.

Under the pressure of the demon king's halo, the bloody waist Viscount Flying Dragon suddenly saw the scythe of death on his neck, rolled his eyes immediately, and passed out directly.

Currans was better. Although he was dizzy, it was related to his hope of survival. He gritted his teeth and persisted, but he couldn't help but regret his choice of surrender under the tremendous pressure. No matter how you look at it, it doesn't look like a merciful master.

"I, the noble lord of the northern border, Hydera III, the hereditary viscount, accept the surrender of the swan baron Currans and allow you to serve me." After pondering for a moment, Owen took off his helmet to reveal his true face. Si's rapier was returned to him, and this action immediately made Cullens heave a sigh of relief.

Regarding Owen's identity, Currans was a little surprised at first, but after thinking about it, he didn't think there was any problem. After all, there were only a few of their lords in this ghost place, and the four were still united. Now two are dead, and one is about to die. Now, he and the Hydera family are the only ones left, so no matter how incredible it is, it will be the only answer, and this is why Owen chose to reveal his identity.

As for whether commanding goblins to kill humans is evil or not, and whether it will be used as an excuse, in fact, this kind of thing is not a problem for nobles at all. One is used by oneself, and the other is not used by the Viscount. As for what the power is and whether it is evil, it doesn't really matter at all.

Next, Owen personally killed Viscount Flying Dragon, who didn't even have time to say his name, and left Currans behind.

As for why he killed the Viscount Feilong but accepted the surrender of the Baron Swan, there were only two alive, and if one had to be hacked to death, he was the only one left. You can't live long even if you die.

At the same time, the reason why Owen did this was to try to improve the system progress value, so he killed and dropped, but it was different for Ke Lunsi, because he was able to survive and had a good result.

Fortunately, the other party was also from an imperial aristocrat. If he met other northern border aristocrats, Cullens knew that he might have been hacked to death long ago.

The difference is mainly because the internal rules of the imperial nobles have been relatively perfect after a long period of time.

There will certainly not be harmony between the nobles. In fact, the struggle between the early nobles was very cruel and direct. Poisoning, assassination, tricks, wars, everything was used, and even the opponents were pulled directly into the bushes at the banquet. Poison, and claims that the other party is suicide is not uncommon.

At that time, as long as the nobles could win, no one cared about the means used.

However, with the stability and solidification of the aristocratic class, coupled with the continuous marriage and exchange of interests among each other, the struggle among the nobles has gradually evolved a set of relatively mature rules to ensure that the struggle will not expand and avoid affecting the whole Interests.

In fact, the nobles within the empire seldom use force nowadays, and war is only the last resort. Even assassination and poisoning are regarded as unpopular and even rejected by the mainstream.

Nowadays, the great nobles in the imperial capital have become accustomed to achieving their goals through political means. This method is like using leverage, with less investment and greater returns. Every word and deed can even affect the entire empire. It is regarded by the nobles as the most elegant art and the ultimate art. Target.

As for the assassination and poisoning, they were both low-level methods used by petty nobles. As for leading troops to fight, it was even more the behavior of barbarians.

The great nobles who can influence the operation of the empire don't need to use this kind of method at all. If they tell you to die, you will die, or they will send your whole family on the road.

Even if you can fight, so what, can you beat countless strong men in the empire?
Even if you have many elite soldiers and generals, so what, can you beat the imperial army?
In this way, the rules of the aristocratic class will become more stable and in-depth.

Although the purpose of this set of rules is to avoid attrition within the nobles as much as possible, it does not mean that killing is completely abandoned. For example, what methods can be used for hatred, such as the treatment after surrender, etc., there are relative rules.

For example, the enmity between Viscount Feilong and Owen is a feud, and they can use any means, including killing each other after surrendering, and they will not be condemned for this.

But he could kill Viscount Feilong, but he couldn't kill the other's family, unless the other party refused to swear to give up revenge.

In the empire, if the defeated nobleman does not give up revenge, the victor has the right to kill the opponent, but if the opponent swears to give up revenge, then he cannot be killed, and the opponent's family has to be spared.

This move is mainly to preserve the noble blood as much as possible, but don't think that the oath is just a casual talk. Once you swear to give up hatred, then the defeated cannot take any form of revenge on the victor afterwards. Otherwise, the victor has the right Anyone who takes any means and breaks the oath will become the enemy of all the nobles, even if they don't take action directly, all kinds of targeting alone are enough to make the opponent want to die.

This rule also applies to Currans. When he chooses to surrender, it means that he has given up his sovereignty. Because of the gap in title between the two sides, after Owen returns his saber to him, it means that he accepts his vote. It has the effect of oath.

Of course, this set is a tacit understanding of the imperial nobles for a long time due to mutual restraint. There is no market for the northern border nobles, and even most of the northern border nobles don’t know this set of so-called rules at all. Even if they know, I'm afraid they will also scoff. After all, for the nobles of the Northland who are accustomed to robbers, killing, looting, and burning are the most direct means. The imperial nobles have already passed this period and can wash away the blood and dirt on their bodies Wiping the corners of his mouth and gathering his fangs, he made an elegant gesture, despising the brutality of the northern nobles.

After the battle was over, Owen asked the goblin witch doctor to treat the magic horn tree poison on Currence, and then heard the sound of biting and goblin excited noise from the camp not far away.

Goblins are not vegetarian animals. They also like human food, not to mention the weapons, food, tents, clothing, and even a spoon in the camp. They are all good things for them and are the targets of mutual competition. .

"Everything in the camp will be rewarded to you, don't stay too long, and take all the goblins back to the magic horn tree forest after dawn." Owen was very clear about what happened in the camp, but he didn't intend to stop it.

The horned goblin was not summoned by him through the system, and he has no loyalty to him at all. If he steps forward to stop him, even if he relies on the goblin general and his own devil halo to achieve his goal, it will leave hidden dangers, so instead of It's thankless, it's better to pretend not to see, after all, it's not him who suffers.

General Goblin led the order to control those horned goblins who were getting more and more scratchy. Because too many elite goblins were killed in battle, the effect was not very good. Order these horned goblins to carry supplies back to the forest.
