The population of Ajaccio village is 1,532 people, while the minimum population standard line for large villages is 1,000 people, and the minimum standard line for giant villages is 5,000 people, which can only be regarded as just passing the line.
Humans are the largest group of villagers, accounting for about 28% of the total population of the village. Other races include elves, 23%, dwarves, 19%, orcs, 18%, and goblins, 12%.
Such a complex racial division is relatively easy to cause confusion in management for NPCs, but for players, although there will definitely be some troubles, considering the advantages in recruiting soldiers, the troubles are not troubles at all.
Recruiting in a racially complex place like the village of Ajaccio makes it easier to recruit servants with special talents and better qualifications.
There are not many buildings in the village. There are 2 farms, 1 fishery, and a small dock outside the village.
The village is equally simple, with a blacksmith shop named "War Girl", a barracks, a church, an inn named "Sleeping Giant", and a grocery store named "Golden Shine". These buildings are all medium-sized villages.
It has standard features and does not have any of the buildings that can only be found in large villages.
From an architectural point of view, "Ajaccio Village" means that the population has reached the standard of a large village, but the number of buildings is not as good as Xinshou Village, which is only a medium-sized village.
The only thing that surprised Yun Xiaohan was that there was actually a library in the village of Ajaccio. This is a building that can only be found in medium-sized cities and above. Not every medium-sized city has it. Moreover, this library also has a good name -
"explore the world".
However, this library is a private library, owned by an old mage NPC and not owned by Yun Xiaohan. Without the owner's permission, he does not even have the authority to go in and visit.
This library is currently only open to the public from 16:00-24:00 every day. In fact, according to the game time in "Decision", it is open one day every three days.
Most of the houses in the village are log cabins, with only a few higher-end wooden houses. Because the island is rich in wood resources, there is no third stone building except the library and the interior hall.
However, this kind of wood used as building materials is taken from the "Zigang tree" (Note 1), which is also called the "fire extinguishing tree" by the locals. When a fire is lit under the tree, a large amount of sap will be sprayed on the tree to extinguish the fire.
Its branches and leaves are dense, and there are many bracts as big as steamed buns. The bracts are densely covered with small mesh holes. Once the fire shines, the juice will spray out.
"Calpa tree" is fast-growing, easy to close, and has high water content. In fact, it is also one of Corsica's main export raw materials, an excellent shipbuilding wood.
There are four gates in the village, and the one near the pier is the west gate.
The road is a gravel road, and there are 40 wells in the village. The entire village is surrounded by a small amount of cobblestones and a strict three-layer overlapping wooden fence. Yun Xiaohan tested it and found that the height is more than 1.5 meters, and it is very strong, and the defense is pretty good.
reliable.
Yun Xiaohan walked near the Interior Hall, when a man suddenly walked out from the shade of a big tree outside the gate of the Interior Hall and walked quickly towards him.
Yun Xiaohan took a closer look and saw that it was Giuseppe Garibaldi.
Giuseppe walked up to Yun Xiaohan, suddenly knelt down on one knee, and said: "Sir Yun Xiaohan, your performance in the battle for Sardinia impressed me. Now that you have become a real noble, I hope you can
I want to become your follower. I wonder if you are willing to accept me?"
Needless to say, Yun Xiaohan clicked on the acceptance option almost instantly.
"It is my honor to have a warrior like you become my follower. You will become my first follower, and I will fulfill all the responsibilities of a lord! If my title and territory are promoted again, you
He will become my first vassal."
"My lord, I will be your sword, offer you all my loyalty, and follow you forever."
After a short plot of following the oath, Giuseppe Garibaldi officially became Yun Xiaohan's follower.
Followers are different from retinues. Followers do not occupy retinues' quota for battle. The two are completely different from retainers and servants. The master has the right to lead the followers. While the followers need to fulfill their obligations to the master, the master must also shoulder their responsibilities.
their due responsibilities.
The master has the obligation to arm his followers and promote them. For example, if Giuseppe proposes to go to a military academy for further study, as long as the request is reasonable, Yun Xiaohan must satisfy him even if he sells the pot, otherwise he can be justified.
The escape from Yun Xiaohan.
Once Yun Xiaohan obtains more fiefdoms and Giuseppe Garibaldi makes enough contributions, he must be rewarded.
Simply put, a follower is a different kind of vassal, but the relationship between a follower and the lord is closer than that between a vassal and the lord. If the lord dies unfortunately, the vassal can still seek refuge with other lords. But if it is a lord
Death, followers must avenge their master. If they are unable to avenge, they should follow their master to another world.
The oath of following is initiated by the followers and is not imposed by the master on the followers. In "The Choice", it is a very solemn and serious oath. Once a following relationship is formed, unless the master fails to fulfill his due responsibilities, the oath will be terminated.
There is no room for betrayal, and it is not an exaggeration to describe it as a matter of life and death. Any betrayer will be despised and spurned by all intelligent races in the continent, and will be wanted by all nobles.
Therefore, ever since the Vow of Following appeared and matured, there has never been a case of a follower actively betraying the Vow of Following. On the contrary, it is not uncommon for followers to choose to leave because their master failed to fulfill their responsibilities, but most of them
Under such circumstances, the followers will still be a little considerate of the master's difficulties and allow him to delay for a period of time.
However, as a player, Yun Xiaohan will definitely find it difficult to enjoy the NPC's understanding. As long as he dares to delay, Giuseppe will definitely lose his loyalty.
The oath of following itself is a more beneficial oath for followers, because followers are mostly commoners and lack education and advancement opportunities. Once they become followers, the lord, as a formal noble, has the responsibility to provide educational resources and advancement opportunities for followers.
, so you must be at least a baron in the field to have followers. Without a territory or a baron title, you cannot meet the following conditions.
Therefore, generally speaking, nobles will not accept followers casually. They will only make a following oath when the other party is extremely capable or can bring great benefits to themselves. In most cases, the other party will be
It is enough to accept him as a personal minister.
The essence of this oath is that civilians offer their loyalty to the nobles in exchange for the opportunity to become nobles themselves. Once a follower relationship is concluded, the interests of the master and the followers are completely tied together.
Of course, following the oath is not a privilege for common people. There are also a few low-ranking nobles or down-and-out nobles who follow the big nobles to expand their family territory or gain further opportunities.
