The journey of more than ten days made Victor feel a little tired, and what happened yesterday made him realize that he was not ready to be a lord.

The migration of more than 400 people is not just as simple as keeping these civilians fed, clothed and protected from the threat of monsters, in addition to these most basic guarantees, these people will have more needs, such as spouses, rights, status in the group, and so on.

Nelson was an experienced mercenary captain, and the fact that none of his lords had died at the hands of monsters along the way was a testament to his abilities, but it was clear that he wasn't very good at managing these civilians.

A few militias, without restraint, a little advantage in status will make them quickly transform into bullies who oppress the weak, so what kind of changes will there be in the official members of the War Bears?

Victor believes that the members of the War Bear Mercenary Group have not become as vicious as those militiamen, not because they are kind in nature, but because the mercenaries have not yet realized the change in roles, and they still regard this migration as a mercenary protection mission, and strictly abide by the mercenary morality.

But what happened this time will make some people realize that everything is different.

Speaking of which, Victor also has to thank that lewd mouth, if he hadn't taken the opportunity to publicize the matter, it is conceivable that Nelson would have killed these people in private in order to protect his members, and Victor would have been kept in the dark.

Nelson is a moral mercenary, but that doesn't mean he's a good man. In fact, a mercenary who licks blood on the edge of a knife has nothing to do with kindness in any way. If, once he begins to deal with problems in this way, then he will continue to prey on humans like a beast tasting human flesh for the first time, and Victor will completely lose control of the group.

Thinking of this, Victor felt very heavy.

"You need a butler!" pointed out the old scholar pointedly.

Whether it was Edwin or Bruce, or even Nicole and a few other probationary knights, they were very indifferent to what happened yesterday, they didn't care about the coerced peasant woman, they didn't care about the killed Logan, and they didn't care about the fate of the expelled militiamen.

This makes Victor realize that the aristocratic class and the commoner world in this world are separated, and the link between the two is the administrators promoted by the nobility: butlers, town mayors, sheriffs, village chiefs, and so on. These people were the eyes, ears and minions of the aristocracy ruling over the commoners.

"How should I choose a butler?" said Victor for advice from Master Edwin.

Most of Victor's mind was about the memory of aristocratic etiquette and how to please women, but not about the trickery of becoming a worthy lord, which was the credit of the Marquiss Sophia.

"The lord's butler is not something that anyone can do. Not only did he need to be proficient in the affairs of the realm, but he also had to be proficient in aristocratic etiquette, and most importantly, he had to be absolutely loyal to his lord, and before that he needed to be literate. Edwin gently blew away the heat rising from the pine nut tea in his hand and said to Victor.

Victor was so discouraged that he couldn't pick out a few of his people for literacy alone.

"In fact, the vast majority of the stewards of the lord family have been cultivated since childhood, and they are often still descendants of the family, only in this way can they be guaranteed to be absolutely loyal to the family, and their descendants will continue to serve the family, and these people are also candidates to serve as the nobility of the village head, town mayor, sheriff, and tax officer. Seeing Victor's deflated appearance, Edwin smiled and made up for it.

Victor knew that what Edwin said was the truth, the Wimbledon family was a thousand-year-old nobleman, and the family history was older than that of the Kingdom of Gambis, and when he came to serve as lord of the Centaur Hills, Sophia sent a family butler to work for him. The butler was of Wimbledon blood, and he kept everything in order along the way, except that when he was attacked by bandits, he was the first to be slaughtered.

Now it seems that this is very likely that the York family is trying to control a means for themselves, Victor secretly thought.

"Looks like I'll have to let it go for now. Victor said helplessly.

"You should consider taking Captain Nelson's sister as your personal maid, and if she gives birth to your offspring in the future, that child will be a natural candidate for your family's butler. Edwin said to Victor as if he were teasing and formal.

Edwin's suggestion makes Victor's heart flutter. Nelson is the main force that Victor can rely on at the moment, if he can strengthen the connection with Nelson in this way, it is indeed a good choice, and Lilia is young and beautiful, and there is a vitality that is different from that of a noble woman, and she herself has a very good impression of Victor.

In the coming period, Nelson and his men will become an important force to maintain Victor's dominance, and entrapment Nelson will become what Victor must do. This is probably the real reason why the old scholar suggested that Victor should make Lilia his valet.

Victor knew that Nelson didn't want Lilia to get too close to him, and he was afraid that his only sister would not end up with a good home.

However, the personal maids of the nobles are the legitimate partners recognized by the nobles and have a high status in the territory, and the children they give birth to, although they cannot inherit the surname of the nobles, may also awaken the blood of knights. Once these descendants are successfully promoted to knighthood, they are immediately recognized as nobles. Therefore, becoming the personal maid of the nobility is the common desire of commoner women.

Victor stole a glance at Nicole and noticed that the female apprentice knight had a look of course.

"Captain Nelson may not have noble blood, but he is a formidable and fierce warrior who deserves the respect he deserves. ”

Victor's silence made Bruce Knight think that Victor was disgusting Lilia's identity, and couldn't help but open his mouth to hold grievances for Nelson. After so many days together, the proud knight greatly admired Nelson's abilities and strength.

Accepting someone else's sister as a personal maid turned out to be a sign of respect for him! This is indeed the logic of the aristocracy.

"That's a real idea, but I'll need to ask Nelson and Lilia first, and I'll respect their choice. The values of modern society made Victor very hesitant, but he had to admit that it might be his best option.

"However, until there is no qualified administrator, I will personally take care of these internal affairs, which is not dignified by the nobility, but it is my duty after all. Victor said in a loud voice, his confident and high-spirited posture that made Miss Nicole's eyes light up.

"And what are you going to do?" Edwin stroked his beard, he was intrigued by Victor's thoughts.

"I intend to divide these leaders into six groups and let them choose their own leaders, who will lead the members to complete the tasks I have assigned. The team leader can report directly to me the problems they encounter, and I will deal with them as appropriate according to the situation. Victor replied.

"However, you can't guarantee their loyalty. Perhaps, these people will soon become like that Logan, and they will unite to deceive you, and in your name, to squeeze those men. Don't underestimate the cleverness and audacity of these inferior people, these people will have no bottom line once they do evil!"

"You are right, for people without moral beliefs, absolute power leads to absolute corruption. Therefore, I also intend to assign a deputy leader to each group, who cannot interfere with the work of the group leader, but who will report directly to me every ten days what he has seen and heard, and the position of deputy leader will be rotated by the adult lords. ”

Supervision and reporting are effective means of restricting rights, and as a traverser, Victor certainly understands this truth.

"Absolute power leads to absolute corruption!? Very insightful, I must admit, Victor, you have surprised me!" Edwin said to Victor in amazement.

"Not a bad idea. But Victor, I think I have to warn you not to forget to use the whip!"

The pure teachings of the Bruce Knight left Victor speechless.

Just as Victor was exchanging views with the crowd, there was a cheer from the team walking in front.

After nearly twenty days of trekking, they finally arrived in their new territory.

When Victor climbed the hillside, he was greeted by an endless sea of purple, and when he looked closely, there were purple plants that were more than a man tall, these plants had straight stems, and there were no branches but purple leaves grew at the tops, they were next to each other, one by one, one by one, one on top of the other, layer upon layer, a light breeze swept by, and the purple leaves were blowing, like waves like ocean waves, which was magnificent.

Looking at the magnificent purple sea and listening to the vibrant birds and insects, Victor had mixed feelings in his heart. He will say goodbye to his past self, whether it is a past life with a bumpy fate, or a small nobleman with a shadow of crisis, he will usher in a new beginning here.
