An estate.

"Your Excellency, Lord Lord, look ......"

Ham pointed to an area: "This manor house has a hundred serfs, a mill, a wine cellar, a storehouse, and a lord's villa...... There is also this forest next to it, which can be transported to the royal capital by logging for a certain amount of income. ”

"Well, that's good!"

Sulu put his hands behind his back and looked around.

This manor was not far from the king, and it was only half a day's ride on horseback, which he specially requested.

Since the meeting with His Majesty the King that day, the Lord and the Liberty Leader have been quickly appointed, and as for Long Jing, there has been no news for a long time.

According to the law of the joint council of the Kingdom of Dragonon and the nobility, the lord has no prefix, and can only be obtained after becoming a hereditary baron.

You can design your own badge and pass it on for a long time.

Aristocratic heraldry is a very esoteric and cumbersome science, and a true bachelor can identify the origin, transmission, and even branches of the family from the subtleties of the coat of arms.

For example, the one engraved with the sword is a knight, and the crown represents the royal bloodline.

Sulu was not so troublesome, and directly replaced it with a mysterious symbol, which was the word 'arrogance' in the word of arrogance, which seemed to be full of a three-dimensional sense of madness and mystery.

"In addition to that, I need a few housekeepers to build a patrol ......"

The Lord did not qualify for the Order, which was at least the power of hereditary barons, and in practice, even the Barons and Viscounts could rarely afford a large amount of Order.

This kind of strongest force is generally in the hands of the earl and above.

"Yes...... Although this is the heart of the kingdom, there are also thieves and robbers to guard against...... In terms of the number of people, I think 10 to 20 people is more appropriate. ”

Ham replied.

He had previously aimed to become a knight, and had also learned some knowledge of manor management.

"Oh?" Sulu was a little surprised, and a little surprised: "Go on......"

"Actually, most of the force of a first lord comes from himself!" A knight of the Black Iron level is enough to suppress everything.

Ham thought for a moment and said slowly: "And half of his subordinates and forces come from the people of the territory, and half from the second son and third son of the surrounding good lords......"

According to Ham's explanation, Sulu probably understood.

Most of these lords are knight families, but it is impossible for every generation to have knights.

Sometimes, families that did not have official knights would send their second and third sons to the nearby Black Iron Knights to become squires and horse boys.

In fact, it was through the service of these official knights, the opportunity to train, and the opportunity to become a knightly squire.

As for the firstborn? It is usually sent to the higher nobles, and the baron must have a formal knight under his command, who can give them better teaching.

Of course, none of this has anything to do with Sulu.

Because he had neither a feudal nor a vassal, he was considered an 'outlier' among the nobles.

Strictly speaking, such a family will definitely be squeezed out by the orthodox aristocracy and will be difficult to survive.

As long as Sulu leaves, it will be doomed in a few generations—if he leaves an heir.

But actually...... I have no intention of letting the Bloodline inherit my title, I am just going to use this as a home for the Megalomaniacal School......

Sulu felt that some people's ideas were about to fall apart.

He returned to the villa, which was his lord's mansion, very extensively built, with many rooms, and surrounded by a defensive hedge, with iron thorns, a native of the region, a black vine plant covered with barbs and very hard.

It can be said that the defense of this villa is completely built according to the fortress level.

If it is a baron, he will seek a castle made of granite and marble, which is the foundation of the real inheritance.

At this time, in the living room of the villa, several temporarily hired peasant women were bringing out baked bread and large pots of vegetable soup and distributing them to a dozen thin children.

They were the little ones adopted by Ham.

He remembered Sulu's teachings and was ready to spread the supernatural fire, but he couldn't think of a way.

In the end, he used food to gather a group of wandering orphans in Dragon City, ready to teach and cultivate from an early age.

Sulu was not optimistic about his plan, but when he had a territory, everything was different, so he chose to let Ham bring these children back and raise them slowly.

Although the molding is slow, loyalty can at least be guaranteed.

As for Jon and Laffer?

According to Ham, Laver has been lost in the vortex of wealth and power, and he does not know which force he has taken away.

As for Yorn, this honest man wants to return to his hometown, and although he declares that he wants to spread the idea of the arrogant mentor to a wider area, Ham reckons that the other party is ready to find a wife to marry, and pass on the power of arrogant words as a family mystery from generation to generation.

"Hehe......"

When Sulu found out, he could only sneer.

Sure enough, human nature could not stand the test of the most, and he gave himself strength, and once the restrictions were released, these apprentices were like wild dogs that had escaped their wilts, and each of them ran wildly in different directions.

On the contrary, this Ham is a real fool, and he still listens to his own words.

'No...... It can't be said to be stupid, but ...... Loyalty, one of the qualities of a knight Ah......'

Sulu sighed silently in his heart.

He looked at Ham: "These apprentices will be handed over in the future, as well as the territory." ”

"Huh?"

Ham looked up in surprise.

Teaching apprentices, that's right, but what does it mean to be territorial?

"As a lord, I choose to be my heir and inherit this land."

Anyway, Sulu is definitely going to leave this world, and he has no plans to get married and have children here.

"Nope! No! You are my mentor and my lord...... This ......"

Ham's eyes turned red.

Didn't he become a wandering knight in the first place just to obtain a hereditary title?

And now, the dream has actually come true?

"I don't have to excuse myself, I deserve it, and I'll teach you some techniques to avoid being ......affected by 'babbling' as much as possible."

Sulu sneered.

Do you really think that the power he gives will have no hidden dangers?

The four 'arrogant seeds' he had condensed at the beginning alone were very problematic.

Extraordinary powers are inherently difficult to control, especially the arrogant words, which are the 'mysteries' of a god!

Not to mention, the power obtained by going through crooked ways is more likely to get out of control!

However, he didn't bother to care what would become of Raffer and Jon, anyway, as long as they could spread their power, they would achieve their goal.

On top of that, it's about cultivating orthodox arrogant wizards! ’

Sulu glanced at the child who was munching on food and drink, and suddenly came to the door.

From the road at the end of the sky, he saw a convoy of carriages.
