Cthulhu Gonfalon

The nobles never succumb to killing. For them, the sword is not the best tool, but at least it is a very useful tool. If you can solve the problem with killing, then killing is of course a good choice.

Therefore, no one objected. They all passed the resolution of "severely cracking down on the movement of civilians in the territory."

After deciding on this incident, more than one big aristocrat showed a relaxed expression.

"There is another thing, I am a little worried." Marquis Yuk added, "After this policy comes out, will the adventurers who want to settle down choose the location of the merchants? After all, for them, Settlement, a skill, these two are certainly satisfied. In other words, if they choose to settle in the north, they will be able to obtain the family name."

"Then they might as well go to the Northwestern Republic." One count said.

“The Northwestern Republic is very strict, and many people are not adapted.” The Marquis of Yuk smiled disdainfully. “There are many people who settle in adventurers who are doing business without paying attention. This kind of person can’t adapt to the northwest. In the environment of the Republic, a black crow wants to force himself to be a white dove? Can't do it."

This metaphor has made many people laugh.

"But for us, the crow is also a good pigeon. As long as we can strengthen our strength, it doesn't matter what the origins are. I believe that the merchants should think so too." The Marquis of Yuk said, "The question then comes, since We can still settle here on the side of the merchants. Of course, it is more fun to settle down and create a family on the merchant side."

The great aristocrats frowned and worried.

This is not a big deal at first glance, but it is really not small. Settlement adventurers are the best complement to the reserve forces of various territories. They have both family property and ability. Many people are settled as subordinates after they settle down. Even many people have contributed to the war since then, and they have acquired the status of knight. - For example, among the two real knights of the Keen men's collar, the family of the Oscars came from settlers; even their neighbors, the territory of the Viscount in the south, was also settled. Adventurer.

This is very common, and there are such knights in most aristocratic territories. In other words, without the supplement of these settled adventurers, the aristocratic system alone cultivates talents, and the Cavaliers and even the basic aristocrats of the quasi-knights do not want to fill up.

It takes time and energy to cultivate talents. The nobles have money, but if they are used to cultivate talents, the wealth of most nobles may not be able to support them.

For example, to train a knight, he must first understand the full set of combat skills; he should be able to skillfully use long and short weapons and bows; be able to fight on horseback; be able to skillfully wear armor; be able to understand small-scale combat command; A wealth of combat experience; to be able to cope with most common emergencies; to have sufficient force; to be able to lead the team to break through when attacking; to be able to stabilize the team without losing chaos when retreating; Be able to escape and escape smoothly...

Ordinary ordinary people, no matter how trained, it is impossible to reach this point. Only those who are born to be strong and sensitive can be cultivated to this extent. It is this "premise" that will eliminate at least 90% of the people. Of the remaining one-tenth of the qualified candidates, often thirty to forty people can produce one.

In other words, to train a knight, you need to select thirty or forty from three or four hundred young and strong to train for a long time, and finally only one.

However, although the “selection” process does not cost money, but the training of thirty or forty people, this expenditure really exceeds the extent that most barons and even the viscounts are willing to bear.

In the process of cultivation, it is necessary to have enough nutrition, which means the cost of diet; the need for weapons, armor and the wear and tear of various equipment, which means the cost of materials; also requires adequate treatment, which means magic and medicine The overhead; in the end, it is necessary to actually grow up through actual combat, which means the cost of various combat supplies...

If there is no choice, the nobles can of course cultivate talents like this. But most aristocrats are reluctant to spend money like this. Some people have estimated that a knight can be cultivated from civilians in an orthodox way. The total amount of money spent on forests is at least tens of thousands of coins.

The aristocrats of the Golden Coin Federation are relatively high in income, but most barons earn about 2,000 gold a year in one year – half of which comes from taxes and the other half from monopoly industries. The business under his name. In other words, it takes only five years of money to train such a knight to come out - there is almost no cost in the past five years.

A noble nobleman, may you have no expenses?

Of course impossible!

Therefore, most barons can not afford to squat down. If they earn two thousand gold coins a year, then they can save five hundred gold coins, even if they have a good family.

In other words, in fact, it will take twenty years to train a knight.

This is obviously an unacceptable price, so the aristocrats, in addition to the knight training that the family passed down from generation to generation, the most important way to supplement the knight is to select from the settlers.

In general, a mid-level adventurer can barely complete the Cavaliers' work. But in most cases, when the adventurer wants to retire, he often has to have high-level strength to be a knight.

There aren't many high-level adventurers, so the general territories choose to recruit mid-level adventurers to act as "quasi-knights" - knights with aristocratic status and no wages but no territory. If the descendants of these quasi-chiefs can compete for the future of their fathers, they can become true decapitated knights, and if they do not live up to expectations, they can only be demoted to ordinary bureaucrats.

On the one hand, to cultivate their own children, on the one hand recruiting retired adventurers, this is the talent training mechanism of most aristocratic territories.

If the retired adventurers ran to the territory of the merchants, as expected by the Marquis of Yuk, then there may not be problems in the short term, but over time, it will definitely affect the aristocratic talents, making the nobility There was a serious vacancy in the high-end force of the grassroots.

At that time, I am afraid that the strength of each other will be reversed.

There is no idiot who can be a big aristocrat, and the Marquis of Yuk mentions that everyone can predict this situation and can’t help but feel a little worried.

For the civilians, the nobles are sacred and inviolable, but for those adventurers who have been hacked for years, what the nobles are, when you are, you are the only thing; not when you are You are not fart!

As long as there are sufficient benefits, let alone change places, even if they want to attack the nobility, it is not a problem at all.

They are the most realistic and only talk about interests.
