"Don't you have accurate data?"

Standing on the wide flat ground, listening to what Sid said, Adil frowned.

"Well, I'm sorry..."

Looking at the expression on Adier's face, Sid's feet softened, and he knelt down directly in front of Adiel: "Because there are too many wanderers and beasts in the wilderness, and the population in those villages is changing all the time, it is too troublesome to count, so there has been no accurate statistics..."

"If you don't count the population, how do you collect taxes?"

Looking at Sid, who was half-kneeling in front of him, Adil asked a little strangely.

"Tax?" Sid was stunned for a moment: "Directly in the field, when the grain is ripe, just go to the farmland to collect it." ”

Hearing this, Adil was a little speechless: "In a few days, I will send someone to count the population in the territory to me clearly, and I want to know the detailed data." ”

"Yes!" Standing in place, listening to Adil's command, Sid quickly nodded and said with a cold sweat on his face.

With these trivia words said, they slowly walked towards the manor.

The estate is not very large, but it is not small either, and there are some rudimentary walls around it.

And inside, some servants were farming, and among them there were some children, who made some small noises from time to time.

Overall, Adil is quite satisfied with the environment here.

He came to this world to search for some resources that are 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 need to develop some suitable men. ”

Walking on the stone-paved path, looking at the dozens of servants kneeling around him, Adil thought to himself.

The strength of the people in this world is too weak, just some ordinary people, let alone facing those weird, even facing some ordinary mutant monsters will be unbearable. In the end, instead of helping Adil, he may need Adil to act as a nanny for these people.

Thinking of this, walking in the manor, Adil gave the first order as a territory.

In the name of recruiting guards, he gathered all the people under the age of thirty around him.

However, to his disappointment, perhaps because of the dangers of this world, even in the aristocratic manor, there were very few people who met his qualifications, so he had to relax the conditions and allow people under the age of forty to participate in the selection.

This age is already the limit.

The practice of the knight's breathing method has limitations, and it has high requirements for the practitioner's own vitality, and the younger he is, the better the effect of the exercise.

Once you are over forty years old, unless you are like the previous Saul, Adil stimulates the opponent's body with violent and precise techniques, otherwise it is basically impossible to achieve any training results, and you can only waste Adiel's time in vain.

After the loan was granted, less than 200 of the more than 500 people in the entire estate, including minor children and women, met the conditions. In the end, there is only one person who has the qualification of a knight.

"What's your name?"

On the wide flat ground, Adil stood on the flat ground, looked at the young man in front of him and asked.

"Master... I, my name is West · Sidham..."

Standing in front of Adil was a thin young man with a shabby black cloth hat, his yellow face looked obviously malnourished, and at this time, facing Adil and Sid and the others standing in front of him, he stammered a little.

He was dressed in a shabby black coat that was obviously much wider, with many patches on it, and he looked very tattered, and his face looked a little nervous at this time.

"Sidham, yes. ”

Looking at Sidmu in front of him, Adil endured the impatience in his heart and reluctantly spoke: "You will be my guard from today onwards, understand?"

"Yes... Yes, I understand. Standing in front of Adil and listening to Adil's words, Sidham nodded hurriedly and said, although his face was nervous, he could also see the obvious excitement.

"As a reward for being my guard, your status as a private slave can be revoked, and you will be a freeman from now on. ”

Looking at his excited face, Adil said directly: "I will allocate ten acres of land in the manor as your private land, and all the production there will belong to you in the future." ”

"Sid, have him go down and change his clothes. ”

Without waiting for the other party to speak, Adil waved his hand directly and gestured to Sid, who was standing on the side.

Listening to Adil's words, Sid nodded first, and then asked the servants on the side to take Sidham down in front of him.

"My lord... Will there be a little more of such a reward? ”

After Sidmu in front of him went down, Sid couldn't help but stand up and say, obviously a little resentful of Sidru's reward: "It's already a great honor to be selected as a guard by you, my lord, and there is no need to give these untouchables any reward." ”

As soon as his words fell, a huge pressure suddenly hit him, making his eyes dark, and he almost couldn't help but faint.

In front of him, Adil glanced at him lightly, and the spiritual 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 a few other villages tomorrow. ”

He glanced at Sid, who was standing in front of him, and walked straight ahead.

The next day.

Accompanied by several knights in green leather armor, Adil walked off into the distance.

"My lord, the next village is coming soon. ”

Walking on the path in the wilderness, after a few hours, the guards on the side reported to Adir.

At the end of the road ahead, a small village appeared, and by this time some people were already gathering.

Because he was going to come to investigate today, as early as yesterday, Adil sent people to these villages to inform them and prepare them to meet them.

Walking to the village in front of him, he saw Adier's figure, and several people quickly stepped forward.

This is the guard officer stationed in the local village, and when he saw Adil coming, he hurriedly came to greet him.

After a casual conversation, Adil walked forward, where there were already some waiting.

According to Adier's appearance yesterday, people under the age of forty here had already gathered, and at this time they all stood aside with their heads bowed, not daring to look at Adiel.

Most of the people in front of him were shabby, thin, and malnourished, and few were able-bodied.

This is because it is too dangerous to survive in the wilderness, there is not enough meat to eat, and it is difficult to develop a good physique by relying only on some scarce food rations.

Standing quietly on horseback and looking at these people in front of him, Adil frowned a little: "So there are only adult men, children and women?"

Standing beside Adil and hearing this, the guards of this village were stunned for a moment.

The order he received was only to select the guards, so he directly excluded the women and children, and did not think about it so much.

At this time, when he heard Adier's words, although he was puzzled, he quickly called out the women and children in the surrounding villages who met the conditions.

After a while, in the middle of the village, hundreds of people stood here, looking at Adil in the distance, with some anticipation in their eyes.

"Let's get started. ”

Looking at these people in front of him, Adil dismounted and commanded the guards on the side, "Let them come up one by one." ”

After saying this, he sat on the wooden chair beside him, quietly waiting for the person in front of him to slowly walk up.

"Next. ”

After a while, sitting on the wooden chair and looking at the young man with an expectant look on his face, Adil was expressionless and spoke directly.

Suddenly, the young man in front of him showed disappointment in his eyes, and after turning around and walking out, another tall middle-aged man came up.

This is a man with a beard on his face, a very tattered robe, and a somewhat cloudy look, standing in front of Adil at this time, his face is a little numb.

Quietly looking at the middle-aged man in front of him, in Adiel's mind, a large amount of data kept emerging, establishing a detailed image of the human body.

"The test is complete... The target does not meet the requirements..." In my head, the voice of the chip machine sounded.

Listening to the mechanical prompt in his head, Adil had no expression on his face, but he sighed secretly in his heart.

Since he was promoted to a third-class apprentice, in addition to the speed of accumulating energy through the ability has become faster, the function of the chip bound to his soul has also been greatly improved, and it can be roughly detected whether a person has knight qualifications through a detailed analysis of the human body.

Compared to wizard qualifications, which involve souls, knight qualifications are more physical. People with knight qualifications will have some data on their bodies that are different from ordinary people, and can be detected by the chip, so as to roughly detect whether they have knight qualifications.

However, despite this, in the past two days, Adil still has not achieved much.

In this regard, I have to say that in the wizarding world, there is indeed a certain reason why bloodlines and families are so important.

Without the blood of knights and wizards, among ordinary mortals, although it is possible that there may be people with knight and wizard qualifications, the probability is too small, so small that Adil is a little unacceptable.

In the past two days, in addition to the manor, he also walked through four villages, and saw at least five hundred people, and in the end, only Sidmu, who had the qualifications of a knight, was found before.

This kind of probability made Adil a little speechless.

"It's a pity that there has never been a knight in this world who activates the seed of life, and there is no family with knight blood, so I can only find it slowly from these civilians. ”

After testing the last man, Adil stood up and prepared to leave the village.

"Lead the way, to the last village. ”

As he rode along the road, he commanded the guards beside him.
