Chapter 45: The Situation
In such a world with extraordinary power, it is simply a sadness that extraordinary power should be subjugated to the feet of the superior and nobles who have no power!
In the same way, this is also the reason why the way of knighthood in this world is so popular for a long time~~
The superior will always be the superior, and the inferior will be a lowly mud leg for generations. Becoming a knight, becoming a mage, and gaining extraordinary power www.biquge.info just to gain the status of a superior person.
Therefore, Li Lin's behavior is very much in line with the cognition of human beings in this world to a certain extent, which subtracts a lot of trouble from him.
It's just that these people really don't understand that in such an era when there are already signs of violence, people who are content with the status quo can only be eliminated?
Not necessarily!
Even Li Lin, a stranger who had just stepped into this land not long ago, sensed the unrest of the land under his feet. Don't the nobles of the Roman Kingdom know?
Well, at least the big fat man Lawrence seems to have noticed this early.
In the exchanges again and again, Li Lin gradually understood this fat man who couldn't leave his face with a smile.
As Lawrence often said at the dinner table, touching his chin full of fat, [...... A lot of things seem to be out of his control, and what he needs to do is to regain control of everything before it gets out of his control. To this end, he responded by establishing the Lawrence Training Camp.
And in this world where everything serves the aristocracy, there are some things that are difficult to do, even if the nobles themselves come to do.
This is just looking at the question of whether knight academies should be established for thousands of years, and there is still a unified answer to this question, (fear of the overflow of knights' power, fear of the little people at the bottom controlling power...... Just get it.
After a 'drunk' session, Lawrence once complained to Li Lin about the hardships and hardships of setting up the training camp in the first place.
This is an awkward topic, because even today there are people within the Lawrence family who complain about his behavior.
Is it short-sighted? Perhaps, but those heirs who are destined to not be able to hold the rights of the family can care about whether there is one less silver coin at the end of each month.
It's interesting to compare to the knighthood, a profession that is completely devoted to the aristocratic class. The inheritance of the profession of Ring Mage in this land is not so much of an obstacle.
Li Lin once tentatively mentioned that in order to complete the 'transaction' that he had verbally agreed upon, he needed to recruit a group of mage apprentices. As a result, it was Lawrence's strong support, and the inadvertentity at the center of his eyebrows obviously showed that the big fat man really didn't care, and even the nobles around Loren City didn't care.
The reason is actually very simple, the mud legs may be able to move forward on the road of knights according to their talents, and seize resources with the children of nobles in the future, but when did you hear that the most time-consuming and money-consuming mages are ordinary people can play?!
This can be seen from the scholars around Lawrence, just the most ordinary literacy, and the price is enough to make the wealthier civilian families in Loren vomit blood!
In Loren, even the most ordinary scholar would have a much better living condition than the average wealthy merchant.
As for the top scholars beside Lawrence, who were both teachers and perhaps staff members, their living conditions were far superior to those of ordinary petty aristocrats.
At least as far as Li Lin knew, this swaying old scholar who spoke a little trembling had more than one rich manor and a group of servants not far from Loren City.
In fact, in this otherworldly land, the word scholar itself is very interesting, and it contains amazing magic, from some of the Lawrence family's old books, the scattered recorded text, more than once mentioned the 'city of scholars'......
Li Lin's proposal is actually not a matter at all, even if he recruits hundreds of apprentices at his own expense, decades have passed, and in the land around Loren City, there are just some more trick-playing craftsmen~~
The nobles of Loren City will attack Lawrence's behavior, because the establishment of Lawrence Training Camp will greatly enhance the strength of the Big Fat Family, and even affect the stability of the situation around Loren City.
They advertise that this group of trained full-time fighters can easily become a source of unrest when they get out of control (mud legs are not so easy to bully when they gain strength). Historically, there has been a 'great event' in the kingdom of mankind, where a knight from a civilian background returned from a knight's academy and returned home to find that his family had been ...... by the local lords Ahem, the story is very bloody, so I won't say much about it).
Turning around, the Roman Kingdom has actually not been a powerful country since its founding. Especially when compared to the bandits of the realm.
Previous plundering has occurred after the autumn harvest, but this year it was a bit of an anomaly. This does not mean that the plundering was postponed until winter, in fact, there was a large-scale plunder in early autumn. So in the winter invasion, almost no one would think of it as a mere plunder. If there is, there must be some other reason.
This is also one of the reasons why Lawrence, the big fat man, always seems so powerless when dealing with poisonous insects. He couldn't tell what was hidden behind the accidents that happened again and again. When it came to actually doing it, he didn't dare to send too much force out. After all, Loren City is not without a situation where a noble family has been invaded by bandits overnight.
And the recent looting in the vicinity of Loren City has undoubtedly proved that what he thought was very necessary.
This is undoubtedly unusual, because Loren itself is not a traditional grain-producing area, and its geographical location is relatively remote, and it is usually very peaceful here every autumn when the grass is 'threshing'.
Wars have always been driven by profits, and wars that no one can benefit from will never happen, plundering food and iron tools. However, fools know that in late summer and early autumn, it is the season when last year's grain is exhausted and new grain has not yet been harvested. Waging war at this time will not only destroy the farmland and lead to a famine year, but will also lead to a fruitless return without any benefit.
Not to mention a winter that is colder than ever?
And this year, both of these things have happened, even affecting the geographically remote city of Loren! Well, this last point is especially important, and the nobles of Loren City, who have been leisurely for a long time, are also starting to panic.
