Chapter 5: The Knight Squire
Preliminary understanding of the history of the mainland, in addition to the incredible emotion, Hudson has only one thought in his mind - chaos.
"A small battle in three years, a big battle in ten years", as if the whole world was born for war.
Not only are wars often breaking out between countries, but also between the noble lords within the kingdom. It can be said that from the moment of birth, war accompanied the nobles throughout their lives.
The reasons for the outbreak of war are also strange, only unthinkable, nothing can be done. A nest of honey and a beast can be the trigger for the outbreak of war.
If it weren't for the existence of supernatural powers, Hudson would have doubted that he had returned to the Middle Ages. In addition to the fact that there are more alien races, the continent of Aslant is simply a replica of the European Middle Ages.
Perhaps because of the cost, except for the key descriptions related to the Coslow family, most of the rest were brushed aside, which made Hudson very disappointed.
The most troublesome thing is that these are all materials from the past, and they do not match the current situation at all. If you want to know the situation in the outside world, I'm afraid you can only ask Baron Redman.
But as a Xibei goods, Hudson can't hide from him now, how can he send it to the door?
Unable to find the answer he was looking for, Hudson returned to his residence full of doubts, and suddenly found that the monster crystal nucleus on his body had turned into powder.
"The Baroness fooled herself with a fake?"
As soon as the idea arose, Hudson dispelled it. When it was delivered, he also checked it himself, and the rich magic could not be faked.
What's more, the time is so short, and it's too late to arrange it if you want to be fake. Hudson didn't think the Baroness would have a magician by her side at all times.
Concentrating, Hudson vaguely noticed that there seemed to be an extra compass in his mind, and there was a four-character inscription looming on it.
The golden finger seems to have arrived, but unfortunately Hudson has limited knowledge and does not know the four ancient Chinese characters on it at all.
Of course, even acquaintance is useless. No matter how simple the operating procedures are, they can't be just four words.
I couldn't figure out how to use it, and Hudson wasn't annoyed. Whether it works or not, something is better than nothing. The compass is activated after absorbing the magic power, and this is the entry point.
Maybe feed a few more magic cores and you'll be able to find out how to use the compass. Just thinking about the high price of the magic core, Hudson instantly felt bad.
Sure enough, he just didn't have the life to get rich. In his previous life, he was in debt, but he didn't expect that after crossing over, he would still be a poor ghost. I just made a small fortune, and I'm about to spit it out again.
The magic core is not easy to change, and it must go to the big city, and the remote town of Tielun is estimated to have a collection of Baron's Mansion and Pastor Quinn.
If Hudson is a magician, an alchemist, and hopes to find a cheap father to prostitute for nothing. Forget about the knight, the profession is not right.
This kind of thing is not rushed, and the cautious Hudson will not take any risks until the situation is clarified.
。。。。
In the early morning, as soon as a red glow rose in the sky, the square of the town was full of people.
Knights do not exist alone, they must also have auxiliary attendants. After all, armor, weapons, and horses also need to be guarded, and the noble knights can't pull their faces down to do it themselves.
Hudson was no exception, and when it was his turn to choose his attendants today, all the teenagers in the square had come to try their luck.
Don't look at it as just a knight's squire, for ordinary people, it is still unattainable.
Those who have taken this step are eligible to participate in military training. If you make meritorious service on the battlefield, you can also get a reward.
It's really dangerous on the battlefield, but the problem is that if you don't become a knight's squire, you still have to follow you to the battlefield.
For the small and medium-sized nobles who could not afford to raise a standing army, it was commonplace to recruit serfs to fight in war.
In any case, the survival rate of following the leader is always higher than that of the soldiers below.
"Hudson, start choosing people your own way!"
Baron Redman said expressionlessly.
Intimate cooperation is required on the battlefield, and the closer the squire is, of course, the better. Hudson is naturally familiar with this group of spiritual guys in front of him, and there are many people close to him.
But it was all the original owner's, and it had nothing to do with the current Hudson. With the vague memory in his mind, he couldn't tell who was who.
"Those who intend to become knights' squires should run ten laps along the town, with the hourglass falling as the time limit."
Hudson said with a smile.
It's just that the smile fell into the eyes of the teenagers, but it looked particularly terrifying.
Looking at the half-hourglass left, everyone hurriedly ran, lest they should be left behind.
It doesn't matter if you can't beat the enemy, as long as you can outrun your teammates. In Hudson's view, the war in the aristocratic world is the same as "the leftover is king".
In this era of serious class solidification, it is almost impossible to soar into the sky. For a small nobleman like him who has no inheritance rights, the best way is to boil.
It is far easier to get a fief until the heir in front of you receives a boxed lunch, or until your relatives are extinct, or you can find a noble marriage with a thin number of people.
After all, the land now has an owner. Unless there is an external force to break it, it is difficult to have a big chance.
Anyway, a radish and a pit, without the appearance of an ownerless fief, there will be no new fiefdom nobles. Even if he has made a contribution, it is only an honorary nobleman.
"Rustle."
The hourglass soon bottomed out, and the young men who participated in the knight's squire returned to the square one after another, either rejoicing or dejected, and it was a happy and sorrowful family.
Just as Hudson was about to announce the results, Baron Redman suddenly said, "Thirty-one people have arrived on time, let's start the second round!" ”
In an instant, Hudson understood what was going on, there were too many people who had passed. Tielun Town naturally has no shortage of this population, but the problem is that he lacks a source of income now.
As is customary, after a few months of running-in training, he will go out to fend for himself.
In Hudson's opinion, the more knightly squires who do not need a salary, the better, but Baron Redman did not think that he could afford it.
Traditional knights make a living from war, and if they don't have a foundation, they will naturally have a hard time. But Hudson is different, he does not have the burden of aristocratic honor, and he can go to the robbers and rob the caravan in a hurry.
With a sword in his hand and a hill in his chest, how can he be starved?
His arms can't reach his thighs, and now he has to live with Baron Redman, Hudson said helplessly: "Next, the ten strongest people will be selected." ”
After speaking, he ignored Baron Redman's ugly face. Ten people is already his final bottom line, and it can't be less.
A large number of people does not necessarily have great strength, but a small number of people will definitely suffer. To start a business in the era of cold weapons, the more the team is, the better.
