Lord: Taken away from inheritance at the beginning

In this world, children of nobles who have no inheritance rights follow another great nobleman for nothing more than three things: wealth, power, and fiefdom.

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

According to statistics, a free citizen who wants to become a feudal noble will generally go through the following four stages:
The first generation became officials or servants of the nobility as free men;
The second generation awakened extraordinary abilities, followed the nobles to make meritorious deeds, and became a canonized knight, the lowest nobleman, also known as a knight;

The third generation was officially knighted based on meritorious service.

Although there are some special people who can shorten the process from freemen to nobles, most of them rely on generations of accumulation, talent and luck to enter the noble class.

Although Rogner has good talents and an unusual background, it is unlikely that he will become a fiefdom noble in Luoning in a short time.

He is like this, and Grado, who has a slightly more ordinary background than him, is even more like this.

As for Kurami, she is actually bound to Rogna. After all, they are a couple who are about to get married.

So the second point mentioned by Luo Ning actually didn't mean anything to the three of them.

"Sir, these are not problems."

Rogner took the lead and stood up, kneeling on one knee again, "I had already thought about it before I came here. Please accept my allegiance!"

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

The corners of Luo Ning's mouth raised slightly, revealing a knowing smile.

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

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

At this point, in addition to Joffrey, there is another high-level knight among Ronin's knights.

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

Next, Luo Ning chatted with the three people about their treatment after joining Wubei Territory.

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

The daily salary of Rogna for senior knights is 100 copper coins, the daily salary of Krami for intermediate knights is 60 copper coins, and the daily salary of Grado for junior knights is 30 copper coins.

If they are attached to a position, such as Rydal as a commander, McCann as a guard officer, etc., there will be additional job bonuses.

In addition to these, as a lord, Luo Ning will prepare a pair of armor and war horses for them.

However, Luogna and the three of them had brought these things with them, which saved Luo Ning from the trouble. Now he only needed to provide shelter for the three of them.

When he was in Hillwood Town, due to limited resources, Luo Ning asked the knights to live in rooms in the inner or outer castle.

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

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

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

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

The current situation is that if followers want to live in a better residence, such as one with an independent courtyard and a large area, they can apply for land from Luoning and hire workers to build it themselves.

For Luo Ning, the top priority of the territory now is to provide shelter for the thousands of slaves who are about to arrive. The matter of building a noble community has to be put on the back burner.

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

After Ronin asked Chahar to take the three people down 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 four hundred slaves that meet the requirements and can be transported at any time.

Meanwhile, the remaining six hundred slaves will be recruited within the next two months.

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

Luo Ning immediately asked Tom to notify Pearson, and asked him to go to the Viper Slave Exchange after arriving in Wuma City, and asked Anthony to arrange for people to transport all four hundred slaves to Swamp Town.

Luo Ning planned to send all the remaining 600 slaves to Shanlin Town. After all, there were still more than 40,000 acres of land there that had not been cultivated.

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

Luo Ning is very serious about farming. He doesn't want to spend hundreds or thousands of gold coins to buy food outside. That night, Ronin gathered all the knights including Rydal, McCann, Joffrey, and held a welcome dinner in the Swamp Castle.

While the knights welcomed the three Rogners, they also felt a faint pressure.

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

David, Tom and others are still just 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, Rogner and Kurami were lying on the bed, candlelight lighting up the room.

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

Rogner, who was lost in thought, came back to his senses, smiled and said, "I was thinking about the advice Ruidal gave me at the banquet just now."

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

In order to understand Rogner's strength, Redal took the initiative to discuss.

Rogner knew that he would lose, but he did not expect that the defeat would be worse than against James Monzon.

He has always been viewed by outsiders as a very capable young man, but standing in front of Ruidal, who seemed to be about the same age as himself, he was suppressed in all directions until he could not stop himself.

"That Redal is so strong, I even doubt that Sir Sori is no match for him."

Kurami frowned slightly, "That's not true. Sir Sori is a strong man who is halfway to the silver level. And Redal just barely defeated Baron Leisen a while ago."

Rogner couldn't help but shook his head. He even began to wonder if Leisen said this deliberately to exalt himself. Maybe Redal won that sparring match easily.

"Except for Rydal, McCann and Joffrey, I didn't expect that there would be so many knights following Ronin."

Rogner couldn't help but sigh. The last time he came to Luo Ning's territory, he felt ordinary.

But after formally meeting these knights this time, he was really shocked.

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

Kurami strongly agrees with this.

She hadn't figured out why Uncle Marvin would let his son follow Ronin, a nobleman who was younger than Rogner. It wasn't until tonight's banquet that she figured out what "huge potential" meant. .

"Okay, I don't want to think about it anymore."

Rogner lay down and held Kurami in his arms, "Tomorrow we will go on a cleanup mission with Redal and the others, so get some rest early."

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

If the caravan in the territory has valuable items that need to be traded and transported, the two of them will lead the escort.

The reason why Luo Ning made this arrangement was that Rogner was more trustworthy than Pearson, and the opponent was a high-level knight with sufficient strength;
Secondly, Rogner is the son of Viscount Marvin. Unlike Pierson, who is just an ordinary person, he can perform better in certain formal occasions.

Even when discussing the silk business with the nobles later, Luo Ning could definitely let them do it. After all, coming from a family with strong business capabilities in Iron Shoe Castle, Rogner must have the ability in this area.

To sum up, Luo Ning felt that it was a very appropriate arrangement for the two of them to contact the caravan from Wubei Territory.

Of course, in their free time after running business, the missions of the two of them will be arranged by Commander Redal according to the situation. For example, the two of them can be involved in the recent vigorous clearing mission.

"Ah~"

Kurami smiled bitterly and said: "The days of freedom will be gone in the future."

Rogna couldn't help but laugh. Compared with the free life the two of them had before, relying on their family, they would have to obey other people's arrangements in the future, which indeed meant less freedom.

But they have to start their own family after all, and they need to plan for the future. They can't always be attached to the family, they have to go out.

It took a lot of courage for Kurami to accompany him and take the initiative to step out of his comfort zone, and Rogner was very grateful.

"I believe our tomorrow will be better."

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

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