"Don't you have more accurate data?"
Standing on the wide flat ground, listening to what Sid said, Adil frowned.
"Well, I'm sorry..."
Seeing the expression on Adil's face, Sid's feet softened and he knelt down directly in front of Adil: "Because there are too many wanderers and beasts outside the wilderness, and the population in those villages is always at risk.
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 half-kneeling in front of him, Adil asked a little strangely.
"Tax tax?" Sid was stunned for a moment: "Just go to the farmland to collect taxes when the grain is mature."
Hearing this, Adil was speechless: "In a few days, send someone to count the population in the territory for me. I want to know the detailed data."
"Yes!" Sid stood there, listening to Adil's instructions, with cold sweat on his face, and nodded quickly.
After talking about these trivial matters, they slowly walked into the manor.
The area of ​​this manor is not very large, but it is not small either. There are some simple walls around it.
Inside, some servants were farming, and there were some children among them, making small noises from time to time.
Overall, Adil is quite satisfied with the environment here.
The reason why he came to this world was to search for some resources unique to this world.
In order to better achieve this goal, it is also necessary to establish a stable rear in this world and gather some natives of this world to serve themselves.
"But before that, we still need to train some suitable subordinates."
Walking on the gravel path and looking at the dozens of servants kneeling on the ground around him, Adil thought to himself.
The people in this world are too weak. Ordinary people would not be able to handle even ordinary mutant monsters, not to mention the weird ones. In the end, instead of being able to help Adil, he might actually need him.
Dill acts as a nanny for these people.
Thinking of this, while walking in the manor, Adil issued the first order for the territory.
In the name of recruiting bodyguards, he summoned all the people under the age of thirty around him.
However, what made him a little disappointed was that, perhaps because of the dangers of this world, even in a noble manor, there were very few people who met his conditions, so he had to relax the conditions to allow people under the age of forty to participate in the selection.
.
This age is already the limit.
The practice of Knight's Breathing Technique has limitations. It places high demands on the practitioner's own vitality. The younger the practitioner, the better the effect of the exercise.
Once you pass the age of forty, unless you are like Thor before, and Adier uses violent and precise methods to stimulate the opponent's body, otherwise it is basically impossible to achieve any results in training, and Adier's time can only be wasted.
.
After the loan conditions were met, out of the more than 500 people in the entire manor, less than 200 people, including underage children and women, met the conditions. In the end, only one person had the qualifications of a knight.
"May I have your name?"
Adil stood on the widened flat ground, looking at the young man in front of him and asked.
"Sir...I, my name is Xi...Sidem..."
Standing in front of Adil was a skinny young man wearing a shabby black cloth hat. His yellow face looked obviously malnourished. At this time, facing Adil, Sid and others standing in front of him, he felt a little embarrassed.
He said stammeringly.
He was wearing a shabby black suit that was obviously much wider and had many patches on it, making it look very shabby. His face looked a little nervous at this time.
"Sydem, right?"
Looking at Sidm in front of him, Adil suppressed the impatience in his heart and reluctantly said: "From today on, you will act as my bodyguard, do you understand?"
"Yes...yes, I understand." Standing in front of Adier, listening to Adier's words, Sidm nodded quickly and said, although his face was nervous, he could still see the obvious excitement.
"As a reward for becoming my bodyguard, your status as a private slave can be cancelled, and you will be a free citizen from now on."
Seeing his excited expression, Adil said directly: "I will allocate ten acres of land in the manor as your private land, and all the products there will belong to you."
"Sid, have someone take him down to change his clothes."
Without waiting for the other party to speak, Adil directly waved his hand and signaled to Sid standing beside him.
Listening to Adil's words, Sid nodded first, and then asked the servants on the side to take Sidim down.
"Sir...isn't such a reward a little too much?"
After Sidm in front of him went down, Sid couldn't help but stand up and said, obviously a little unhappy with the reward Sidrum received: "It is already an extremely honor to be selected by you as a bodyguard.
What kind of reward must be given to these untouchables?"
As soon as he finished speaking, a huge pressure suddenly hit him, making his vision go dark and he almost fainted.
In front of him, Adil glanced at him lightly, and the mental power in his mind moved, causing huge pressure on the other party: "Don't worry, there won't be too many guards like him."
"Take me to see some other villages tomorrow."
He glanced at Sid standing in front of him and walked directly forward.
the next day.
Accompanied by several knights wearing green leather armor, Adil walked towards the distance.
"Sir, the next village will be here soon."
After walking on the path outside the wilderness for several hours, the guard on the side reported to Adier.
At the end of the road ahead, a small village appeared, with some people already gathering.
Because he was coming to investigate today, Adil sent people to these villages to notify them as early as yesterday, so that they could be prepared to welcome them.
When I walked to the village ahead, I saw Adil's figure, and several people quickly walked forward.
This was the guard officer stationed in the local village. When he saw Adil coming, he quickly came to greet him.
After chatting casually for a while, Adier walked to the front, where there were already some people waiting.
According to what Adil thought yesterday, people under the age of forty had gathered here. At this time, they all stood aside with their heads lowered, not daring to look at Adil.
Most of the people in front of me were in shabby clothes, thin and malnourished, and few of them were physically strong.
This is because survival in the wilderness is too dangerous, there is not enough meat, and it is difficult to develop a good physique by relying only on some scarce food rations.
Riding quietly and standing aside, Adil frowned a little as he looked at the people in front of him: "So there are only adult men? What about children and women?"
Standing next to Adil, the village guard was stunned when he heard these words.
The order he received was only to select guards, so he directly excluded women and children without thinking too much about it.
Hearing Adil's words at this time, although he was confused, 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 were standing here, looking at Adier in the distance with some expectation deep in their eyes.
"Let's get started."
Looking at the people in front of him, Adier dismounted and ordered the guards on the side: "Let them come up one by one."
After saying this, he sat on a wooden chair nearby and waited quietly for the person in front of him to slowly walk up.
"Next."
After a while, sitting on the wooden chair, looking at the young man with a look of expectation on his face, Adil said directly with no expression on his face.
Suddenly, disappointment appeared 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 was a man with a beard all over his face, wearing a very tattered robe, and his eyes were a little cloudy. He was standing in front of Adil, his face a little numb.
Looking quietly at the middle-aged man in front of him, a large amount of data continued to emerge in Adil's mind, creating a detailed image of the human body.
"Test completed... The target does not meet the requirements..." In my mind, the sound of the chip machine sounded.
Listening to the mechanical prompts in his mind, Adil's face was expressionless, but he sighed secretly in his heart.
Since he was promoted to a third-class apprentice, in addition to the speed at which he can accumulate energy through supernatural powers, the function of the chip bound to his soul has also been greatly improved. Through detailed analysis of the human body, he can roughly detect a
Whether a person has the qualifications of a knight.
Compared with wizard qualifications involving the soul, knight qualifications are more manifested in the body. People with knight qualifications will have certain data on their bodies that are different from ordinary people and can be detected by the chip, thus roughly detecting whether they have knight qualifications.
.
However, despite this, Adier still did not achieve any results in these two days.
In this regard, I have to say that in the world of wizards, there is indeed a certain reason why blood and family are so valued.
Without the blood of knights and wizards, although it is possible for ordinary mortals to have people with the qualifications of knights and wizards, the chances are so small that even Adil can't accept it.
In the past two days, in addition to the manor, he also walked through four villages and visited at least 500 people. In the end, the only person with the qualifications of a knight was Sidm, whom he had discovered before.
This chance made Adil speechless.
"Unfortunately, there has never been a knight who activated the life seed in this world. There has never been a family with knight blood. We can only slowly find it among these common people."
After testing the last person, Adil stood up and prepared to leave the village.
"Lead the way to the last village."
Chapter completed!
