In the blink of an eye, it is the beginning of January of the water season, and the weather has become cold, which is suitable for slaughtering pigs and sheep and marinating bacon.

Caligula put on a bloodstained, murderous canvas apron, grabbed the hind legs of the fat pig with his clumsy and disproportionate agility, and easily lifted the nearly 400-pound creature upside down. Before the fat pig could let out a heart-rending howl, he was hit by a knife on the door of the head, and his eyes immediately rolled up and he fainted. Carrying the big fat pig lying on his stomach, Caligula stepped out of the pigsty, walked a few steps to the slaughterhouse, flipped the tip of the knife, and stabbed it obliquely into a pit under the pig's neck, and the hot pig's blood gushed out and flowed into the wooden basin on the ground. When the pig's blood runs out, he dips the fat pig into the large wooden barrel prepared in advance, rolls it in the hot water a few times, picks it up, and directly uses the pig-killing knife to remove the hair, the blade scrapes from the pig's leg to the pig's head, and the pig's bristles are cleanly faded in three or two strokes. Caligula turned around, tossed the white dead pig gently, pinched the back of the neck, and slashed the blade down the pig's chest, and with a shake of his wrist, the fat pig's entrails slid into another large basin, and several pig killers immediately carried it elsewhere.

By this time, Caligula had unloaded the pig's head and divided the pig into two pieces.

He carried the pig with one hand, slaughtered with a single knife, from catching the pig, killing the pig, bloodletting, dehairing, disemboweling, and then dividing, the whole process was completed in one go, and it took only 19 minutes before and after.

Leaving aside the unbearable fishy smell, Caligula's performance gives Victor a fluid aesthetic.

The same is true of the Cook's Solution.

It's hard to imagine that Caligula has only been killing pigs for 4 days, and for the first few months, he has been battling his own psychological barriers. In order to help him overcome his cowardice and cowardice, Victor adopted the most brutal starvation therapy, starving him for ten days, then feeding him half-cooked beef, raw beef, half-raw blood sausage, and finally drinking raw cow blood, and only after 6 months of tossing and turning, he began to kill fish, geese, lizards, sheep, and pigs......

Caligula kills more pigs in four days than the average butcher kills in forty days.

If you don't do your own work, you'll have to go hungry. Once you do it, someone else is not an opponent.

What is transcendental? This is transcendental.

It takes decades of practice to solve the cow, and it only takes four days for Caligula to solve the pig with a single knife, and the gap between ordinary people and transcendents is clear at a glance. But after all, the transcendents are a minority, and their strength has an upper limit, even if the Golden Knight wants to clean up the pigs, he has to come one by one, and there is no wave of his hand to deal with a large group. And the vast majority of ordinary people only need to improve a little, and the energy gathered is really like a mountain roaring tsunami.

Victor beckoned to Caligula, and the big stupid man immediately dropped his knife and ran over with a fart. Bertina broke free from Shirley's restraints and climbed onto Caligula's shoulders like a little fat monkey, riding his neck and covering his eyes with her little hands, giggling happily as she commanded the big silly one to the left and the right for a while.

Shirley was so anxious that she stomped her feet and shouted crisply: "Come down, come down, stupid big stink!" Seeing that Bell was unmoved, she tugged at the corner of Victor's clothes again, and said aggrievedly: "Master, do you tell Sister Bell to come down." ”

Bell is actually 7 years older than you, and you still think of her as a cute little sister...... Victor shook his head and smiled, each of the little squires wanted to take over Bertina, and they also negotiated for this, and reached a consensus that everyone was responsible for taking care of Bell for one day, and today it was Shirley's turn to be Bell's sister.

Of course, there is a practical point in doing so. Whoever is close to Bell will be in a happy mood and have a lot of luck, picking mushrooms always bursting the bucket first, and digging a gopher hole rarely gets bitten on the finger.

If Caligula's talent represents the direction of individual force, then Bertina's abilities belong to the realm of fate.

Caligula is infinitely powerful, intuitive, and only better than Nelson in melee combat, and Bertina's lucky aura, coupled with Victor's sharp long-range attacks and X-3's powerful computing power, as long as Caligula can entangle the enemy for a moment, Victor, who is blessed by luck, can seal the victory.

It's a perfect combination. With these two guys with him, Victor thinks there are very few people who can defeat him.

Randall's family is now big, but there are not many strong people who can stand alone, and Nicole and Nelson have to defend the territory. Victor wants to go out and surf, and he really needs a strong combination around him.

It's a pity that Bertina may be a little wizard who dies at the sight of the light, and Victor really doesn't dare to let her come into contact with outsiders.

If that bastard Emerson dares to lie to me, see how I clean him up!

Victor hated it, but when he thought about it, he felt that the possibility of Emerson deceiving him was almost zero.

If Emerson had known that Bell was a wizard, he should have sought refuge in Victor a long time ago.

Who would joke with the life of their precious daughter? Emerson has raised Bertina for so many years without finding a problem, so Bell is probably fine...... Right?

Caligula came over under Bell's "manipulation", and the little attendants retreated one after another, looking disgusted. Victor couldn't help but furrow. After all, Caligula ignited the fire of his heart, and since he had overcome the psychological barrier, it would be useless to let him kill pigs and sheep. Victor had planned to let Caligula practice his skills with the Fishmen, but now he has changed his mind.

"Brandon, Klaus, you take you to slaughter a fat cow. ”

The faces of the little noble attendants changed drastically, and Brandon was pushed out by the big guy, and said expectantly: "Master, I ...... We don't kill cows. ”

"Ha, you can't kill cows? There are knightly squires who can't handle prey? You go and ask Lady Nicole, has she followed her teacher to the wild since she was a child to practice survival skills, set up camp, hunt and gather, handle prey, cook game, so she can't?"

The little attendants hung their heads in shame and said in unison, "Follow the master's orders. ”

Victor said lightly: "Pastor Dane has returned from the Holy See, and I will hold a dinner at Pinghu Fort tonight to celebrate his promotion to the high priesthood. I ask each of you, in the tradition of the knightly squire, to slaughter the fat oxen with your own hands, to clean them, to cook them into dishes, and to serve your guests with respect. If you can't do it, you can't do it well, you won't have anything to eat tonight!"

The little attendants looked at each other, and Klaus stepped forward to salute and said, "My lord, we have no cows, no salt, no spices, no side dishes, no cooking tools. ”

"Hmm. ”

Victor nodded, and asked leisurely, "Then do you have eyes and mouths, hands and feet, and brains?"

"Oh, I see, I see. Shirley's eyes lit up and she said happily, "The master told us to figure it out by ourselves!"

"yes, it's still my sister who is smart. Brandon exclaimed proudly.

Isn't it the same as making a game to figure out how to deal with a fat cow and make it for dinner?

The little attendants suddenly became excited, and began to chatter.

"We should find a fat cow first. ”

"But we don't have the money, we need spices and salt. So you should make up the money first...... The question is, who do we borrow money from?"

"You don't have to borrow money. We can deceive ...... Oh, I mean on credit, right, we can figure out how to credit the missing material. ”

"Gentlemen and ladies. Victor clapped his hands, drawing the little ones' eyes to himself, and said with a smile, "It's afternoon...... I want to remind you that time is running out. Also, no one is allowed to steal any food. I'm going to make sure you have an empty stomach...... Accept the punishment. ”

Klaus looked up at the sun in the west and muttered to his companion, "What we need most now is help." He walked up to Caligula, bowed very earnestly, and said sincerely, "Mr. 'Giant', can you help us?"

"The 'giants' will not help the 'little ones'. ”

Bertina rode on Caligula's neck to imitate the sound of his urn, tilted her head and giggled, "Bell can convince the 'giant' to help 'Little Dot', what can 'Little Dot' give to Bell?"

The squires gathered together happily, and at last Brandon threw his head back and shouted to Bell, "There are 17 of us here, and each of us will contribute a day's snack to Bell." ”

Bell sucked in his saliva and cheered, leaning into Caligula's ear and shouting, "Let's go, Caligula, let's go catch the cow, go catch the cow!"

Caligula grinned, surrounded by a group of thigh-high squires as he walked toward the slaughterhouse.

Watching the little kids walk away, Victor suddenly didn't know what he should do.

Two months after the Randall voucher was issued, Dane was recalled to the Holy See for debriefing, and did not return to Randall until today.

As Victor expected, the Cardinal Council of the Holy See issued a new canon, which, in principle, encouraged the lords to establish a system of mutual aid associations and recognized the legitimacy of mutual aid vouchers, but there were no specific countermeasures.

There's no way to counter it...... The Cardinal Council has no position to oppose the strict prohibition of the clergy from engaging in profit-making business and the requirement of self-salvation for believers.

As the initiator of the Mutual Aid Society, Dane was rewarded by the Holy See and was exceptionally promoted by one level to become a Level 5 High Priest. But he himself was not pleased with this, and according to him, Clement did not see him at all, and Bishop Perrot was very dissatisfied with his assertiveness, and his attitude towards him became very cold.

By all indications, Dane has been expelled from the inner circle of Clement's lineage.

Victor was pleased, it was all in his plan.

The fundamental reason why the Church did not oppose the Mutual Aid Society was that neither the clergy nor the knights had formed the concept of "popular hearts". The chasm between the transcendent and the ordinary has created a unique human social form in the other world, and mortals are accustomed to devotion and obedience as a way to pray to the transcendent for protection and advancement, and their struggles are mostly confined to the lower worlds and do not affect the rule of the upper classes.

However, change is about to begin.

With the refinement of the secret method of the soul bloodline, a third political force will soon appear in human society. The knightly and clerical classes will inevitably take countermeasures, with the ultimate aim of crushing a third political force under them. Sadly, the Psychic Bloodline Secret Method is built on the foundation of the human race, which can increase the power of both knights and clergy. In other words, Victor could not monopolize the Psychic Blood Secret Method, and as long as he took it out to train soldiers, it would be imitated and improved by knights or clergy. It's just a matter of time.

As the founder of the Soul Blood Secret Method, Victor has no guarantee for his own interests if he does not take active and effective measures.

The clergy and knights are already standing in the upper echelons of society, and Victor uses the secret method of the soul and blood to curry favor with them, which is nothing more than some false fame. In this way, it is better to use the secret method of the soul blood to cultivate new powers, and establish a new system to push the Randall family to the top.

In the centralized system of feudal fields, the first thing Victor wanted to overthrow was the church's right to speak to mortals. Otherwise, the elites cultivated by the Randall family have all run away with the church, and who will Victor go to reason?

You know, the Radiant Code protects the knights, not the popular archers! The Sword Saint Ravin was chased and killed by the Radiant Knights for thousands of miles.

Suppose Victor gave Clement the idea of a mutual aid society, he would only hold it in his hands for twenty years in order to maximize his political interests. Can Victor hide the secret method of the soul bloodline for twenty years? Clement will soon realize the seriousness of the problem when he sees the mind warriors cultivated by the Randall family.

So Victor made a time difference, and let Clement be wise, he didn't know what it meant to be fearful!

The church failed to nip the mutual aid associations in the bud, and when the huge community of believers enjoyed the benefits of the mutual aid associations, the clergy had to go with the flow.

As for what happened to Dane, it was a good thing for Victor. The level 5 priest's transcendent divine skill is equivalent to the golden rank, but Dane is now isolated, and can only hug the thighs of the Randall family tightly, hoping to rise to the top.

The Randall family is developed, and Dane has the opportunity to return to the Holy See and become the core of the Cardinals.

In other words, Dane is now his own, and the Randall family has a gold-level priest.

In addition to the sovereign, the feudal centralized system does not rely on bloodline, and everyone has a position commensurate with their own ability. Just like Caligula, although he is simple and silly, he now has silver-level combat power, how can Victor allow the little noble squire to despise him?

Let them get along well first, and the little noble squire will naturally be able to realize the huge gap between himself and Caligula, but if he can't do it, he can only sweep the floor and go out.

However, Victor has full confidence in the squire's change of mind.

A perfect system has the ability to assimilate differences, as long as a smooth upward channel and a self-healing guarantee system are maintained, everyone's thoughts and behaviors will be assimilated, and the current system will be maintained and improved spontaneously.

Dane also had his own position, he belonged to the auxiliary, and was located on the second level of the pyramid of feudal centralization, which was on a par with the status of the nobility. It would have been great if he had brought the idea of feudal centralization into the upper echelons of the church and formed a force.

The centralized system of feudal fields has been constructed, it operates and improves itself, and the rest of the side matters are in charge of a special person, and there is no need for Victor to worry about it. For example, Fat Wage, the leader of the Mutual Aid Society, sold the Mutual Aid vouchers to Raven Town and began to make money from the Duo. Last month's mutual aid exceeded 1.8 million copper soles, and this month it is expected to exceed 2 million copper soles. For example, the head of the Coppersol Mint Workshop recruited minting apprentices, expanding the minting team from more than 200 people to 600 people, and minting 100,000 copper soles and 150,000 copper pennies per day.

Victor's main job now is to delve into the secret method of the soul bloodline.

Based on Turnans' Gripen Technique, Victor and Nelson developed a spiritual bloodline cultivation method that was suitable for most people. The first two stages of this cultivation method were not the slightest difference from the Gripper Battle Technique, and when they reached the third realm, they added the idea of Mountain Ape Concept.

The mountain ape is not as strong as the brown bear, tiger and leopard, but it is both strong and agile, and is the closest beast to the human form. Moreover, the mountain ape is good at cooperating, and its temperament is extremely ferocious, even the nightblade leopard does not dare to easily provoke a group of mountain apes.

To this end, Victor asked the smuggler group to catch more than a dozen mountain apes and transport them to Randall's territory, observing their sitting, lying and sleeping habits every day, and finally designed a complete mountain ape secret shape.

Combined with Nelson's cultivation effect, X-3 calculated that it would take about 8 years for ordinary people to cultivate to the third realm of the mountain ape secret form, and there was a high probability that the cultivation of the third realm would ignite the fire of the soul, and then he could enter the fourth realm of the inner vision stage, as for how far he could go, it depended on the cultivator's talent and diligence. The third realm of the Mountain Ape Secret Form can also improve the strength, agility, and spiritual power of the cultivator, reaching the level of a second-level holy warrior, and the cultivation effect is even better than the Agile Lion Battle Technique.

It's a pity that Victor's own Psychic Bloodline Secret Method has made no progress, and he has never figured out what the commonality between the Moon Elf bloodline and the human bloodline is?

Victor stood still and thought about it for a long time, but still found nothing, and decided to go to the temperance gate to have a look. He now has nothing to do every day, either leading his little squire around, or having a tryst with his lover, or writing a love letter to Catherine, or...... Cheating on Nicole and Trisley behind her back.

Sylvia sent Trisley to guard the Temperance Gate, and she used the Half-Elemental Powers of the Grand Knight of the Water System to snipe fishmen in the Golden Water River and protect the craftsmen who built the docks from harassment.

Victor and Trisley's intimacy is little known, and there's always something exciting about sneaking around with her.
