Chapter 002: Lord of Lol Cardin
Fate, this non-existent thing, is often the culprit of cruel torture of the world.
"-- If I were just a spinning top in your hand. Can I keep spinning with you? Spin like a wheel. β
"Yes! Hopes that were once shattered have slowly been weathered by miracles. I'll admit I can't stop there. Thirteen years have passed, and in the care of fate, I have sailed to a new day. β
ββββββββββββββββ
Counting upwards from the first floor, each floor is decorated with horizontally divided multi-layered corners, and the top is crowned with a heavy cornice with a small amount of simple carving. Looking up, on the lighted side of the building, the windows are neatly arranged, with stone frames at the edges, and the tops are decorated with circular patterns that mimic the rays of the sun.
As a whole, you can see that the roof of the building is high, and the lower part of the wall is made of dark wainscoting, and the upper part is plastered. β¦β¦ It is stronger than any other building in the town, and is made of stone of different textures in layers.
From now on, this lord's residence is the only three-storey square building in the town of Lolcadin.
At this time, you will enter the newly completed lord's residence.
The hall, which was the center of the lord's life, was a huge rectangular room, austere and dignified.
On weekdays, the lord can eat and drink here, as well as conduct daily affairs here.
"Dear Lord Lol Cardin, more than a month of hard work has not been in vain. The Builders Guild of the Ancient Kingdom has built a fully functional and solemn lord's mansion for you. β
Moorkin, a guild merchant from a city in the middle of the ancient kingdom, was dressed very well. The striped tunic popular among the nobility and the upper class was draped over a black round cloak, which was fastened to the chest.
And the lord of the baron, the lord of the town of Lol Cardin, looked like a teenager.
"Moore King, you are an honest businessman. The architects from the building guilds, as well as the craftsmen and slaves, all had an enviable level of skill. β
Yasuo reached out and took the contract from the other party's hand. His childish face, because of its pale and indifferent, appeared restrained and deep. Yasuo glanced at the handwriting on the contract, then took out the ring seal that never left his body, with a pure gold texture, stamped a striking red mark on it, and then put the ring away.
It was too early for Yasuo to wear this large adult ring, which symbolized his lordship, and his slender fingers were obviously not strong enough.
And in this world that is very similar to "Total War", both men and women's clothing usually have a small bag hanging from their belt, usually made of leather. It is used to hold small items such as change and keys. In daily life, it has brought a lot of convenience to Yasuo.
The wind blows, taking away the time, leaving no trace.
To this day, every official building in the town of Lol Cardin is inseparable from the construction guild.
Speaking of the guild system of the five kingdoms of the Solar Plains, it has its own relatively strict and detailed regulations. In particular, large guilds such as the Construction Guild strictly guaranteed the equal rights and obligations of members of all classes internally, and implemented a monopoly system with no other semicolon externally.
The monopoly system worsened the distribution of wealth, and many guild merchants made a lot of money.
In this form, gold coins became the only standard for the guild merchants to perform professionalism, as long as you had sufficient financial resources. The towering and magnificent cathedral, the solemn and majestic lord's residence, the sturdy and thick watchtowers and city gates, and even the ancient style of the high platform and the palace are not dreams.
Yasuo's style of doing things tends to use logical thinking, from the point where things are revealed, to peek into the whole of it.
In this newly completed official residence, it is not difficult to feel that the art of building guilds has reached a state of near-perfection.
In fact, with the exception of the rarer profession of architect, the common production professions such as baker, foundry, hardware, tanner, swordsmith, etc., served the guilds. In addition to the construction of guilds, various skill guilds appeared, such as clothing and textile technology, liquor brewing technology, precious metal engraving and casting technology, and iron refining.
It is well known that the guilds of each kingdom had to pay large taxes to the king every year in order to ensure their monopoly status.
Some large guilds even use guΓ² bribes and taxes to give themselves relatively independent internal jurisdiction and protect the army to solve various problems encountered in business.
At the same time, the great guilds were to fulfill the obligation that when the kingdom or the territory in which a branch was stationed was to go to war, the guilds were to contribute to the battle as a separate army or squad, and in terms of warfare, they had their own weapons and commanders.
To sum up, no nobleman with a territory would be willing to offend a powerful guild like the Construction Guild, unless the noble lord's brain seeped water.
Needless to say, Yasuo also hopes that in the future, when Lol Cardin becomes a city, there will be a large number of guilds to enter his territory.
Later, Yasuo returned the land to Moorkin, a merchant from the Construction Guild, and showed a more symbolic friendly smile, "A big guild like the Construction Guild, and an honest merchant like you, deserve the respect of every nobleman." Now you can go to my town treasurer by deed, and receive all the personal remuneration you deserve these days, except for the construction money! β
Thoughts are frosty, and the ground is full of blue. The smile on Yasuo's face was as fleeting as the breeze blowing through the treetops.
The contract fell into the hands of the guild merchant Morkin, and as always, Yasuo was soon praised by the other party.
"Dear Lord Lorkadan, your realm has a good credit history with the Construction Guild. At the same time, in the eyes of the Construction Guild, you are also an elegant and generous lord nobleman! β
Morkin bowed slightly before leaving the lord's hall.
Yasuo then did not forget to tell his attendants to entertain the merchant from the Construction Guild before the construction team left.
Seeing the guild merchant Morkin leave, Yasuo observes the mysterious flow of numbers in his mind as he has done before.
ββββββββββββββ
[Name: Lol Cardin Yasuo.] The name has many meanings: justice, bravery, faith, glory......

ββββββββββββββββ
The various numbers are very comprehensive, and it only takes a few seconds to make Yasuo see them at a glance.
During the period of sweeping this set of numbers, the only thing that made his eyes solemn was the pious column.
From the previous number jΓΉ, we already have a basic understanding. β¦β¦ It is not difficult to judge that piety must have something to do with faith.
Yasuo searched his memories and found that he had been blessed by a priest of the Light when he was born. The rest of the qiΔ, the so-called Holy Light Church, and the Holy Light Doctrine, were at best a bunch of terms that sounded familiar but were actually unfamiliar to him during these years.
In the absence of any knowledge, with a pious soul, to serve an unfamiliar faith. Yasuo thought he had no clue and couldn't try.
Not to mention, coming from another technocratic world, he is also a staunch atheist.
At least...... It used to be.
For a short time, Yasuo thought to himself about how to solve the problem of the crisis of piety.
In front of his eyes, the mysterious number jΓΉ flow would not stop because of this, and the number jΓΉ about the lord's residence appeared.
ββββββββββββββββ
A new building has been completed, costing a total of 28oo coins.
[Lord's Residence: Town level.] While showing the dignity and majesty of the lord, he can handle the daily affairs of the town more quickly and effectively. γ
[Hint: Get a new retinue, Lord Guard.] γ
Refresh liege list of liege's followers:

"My lord, there is a soldier out there who wants to see you, and he claims to have superb martial arts and fearless courage." Adele, the maid, dressed in a standard maid dress, appears at the door of the lord's hall.
Her dress was made of white linen with tight cuffs. There is some simple embroidery on the cuffs, and a beautiful flowing looking lacing, and a few rows of convex stripes under the collar.
The maid Adele is the daughter of a lumberjack. Since childhood, she has been Yasuo's maid. It was also Yasuo's first retinue since he came to another world.
"Let him in."
From the above number jΓΉ attributes, there is just one more attendant of the guard officer, and the relevant reality is reflected.
In Yasuo's view, this hint of the number of jΓΉ flows has never been wrong.
"Yes, my lord."
Etiquette is a compulsory course for a qualified maid. Hearing the lord's words, Adele did not forget to bow slightly before leaving.
Later.
A soldier from the town of Lorkadan with a burly figure came to Yasuo.
Under Yasuo's gaze, the other party had a very broad and strong chest. On the chest of polished black leather armor, a glittering medal of courage hangs.
Yasuo's gaze was fixed on the other party's pale blue pupils. A loud and deep voice began to echo in his ears. "Honorable lord, as the subjects of your fiefdom, and the bravest soldiers under your command. Soldier Leon, willing to be your loyal guard. β
In front of him, soldier Leon fell to one knee.
In fact, if he wanted to know whether the other party could become a qualified guard officer, Yasuo basically didn't have to think too much, he only needed to silently recite his control of the number jΓΉ stream in his heart.
It's just that before his gaze moved to Leon, the first thing Yasuo saw was about his own character attributes.
γLol Cardin Yasuoγ
γClass: β β Lordγ
Basic Attributes:
[Intelligence: 14.] (This set of numbers affects the reading comprehension of the human body, the insight into affairs, and the mental power required by the mage profession.) οΌ

Assignable Attributes: Hidden. (This set of numbers can be freely assigned to the attributes of intelligence, strength, and agility.) οΌ
Yasuo can count his character attribute points for a total of 21 points.
According to his experience, if he wants to observe the attributes of others, unless it is the sum of his own attribute points, it is completely higher or only slightly higher than the other party.
With the attitude of giving it a try, Yasuo set his sights on Leon.
The number of jΓΉ streams showed results that did not disappoint him.

Not counting Leon's class attributes, the sum of his character's basic attributes Intelligence, Strength, and Agility is 2o points.
It's just within the range that Yasuo can peep into.
Glance.
In addition to thinking a little more about his own profession, in terms of loyalty and career, Yasuo is very satisfied with the other party becoming his bodyguard.
At this time, Yasuo's face showed the majesty of a lord at the right time, "Leon, you will become my guard officer." As the only legitimate lord of the town of Lol Cardin, I will trust your oath and loyalty! β
