My Pokémon Player

Chapter 203 You are just using this to test the Lord, right?

After Ryan was rejected by Noz, he no longer had any intention of recruiting him. In fact, before recruiting Noz, he was mentally prepared to be rejected.

Most of the knights in this era were very loyal. They would not betray easily after swearing allegiance to their lords. They would either die in battle or be captured and wait for the lord to redeem them.

A knight who easily betrays his lord will not only be spurned by the nobles and lose the trust of other lords, but will also bring shame to the entire family. It will be difficult for anyone in his family to be canonized as a knight in the future, which is equivalent to becoming a lord. their blacklist.

Therefore, knights will not switch to other lords casually. Unless their lord is unwilling to pay the ransom, violates the lord's obligations, or unilaterally terminates their oath of allegiance, the knights will consider swearing allegiance to other lords.

Just like Knight Commander Seiler, if Baron Lancaster had not first broken the oath between them and begged him with his eyes, he would not have sworn allegiance to Ryan so simply.

The knight's loyalty is one of the few shining points in this era. When Bach's life or death is uncertain, it is normal for Noz not to surrender to him.

Even if Bach was captured in the end, judging from how much Bach hated Lane, he would not break his oath and make Noz loyal to Lane, so Lane gave up the idea of ​​recruiting Noz to surrender.

"Since you are unwilling to be loyal to me, I will not force you. However, Iron Thorn Town is not yet stable. The militiamen alone are not enough to appease the people. You also need to show your face in front of them."

"Before, you said that as long as I can spare the dragon-headed gopher, you will help me occupy Ironthorn Town, but now you have seen that without your help, Ironthorn Town still surrendered, and our conditions were invalid. There is only one other option, which is to stabilize the people’s hearts in Iron Thorn Town.”

Ryan said to Noz.

"Okay, I can help you, but please don't forget your promise."

Notz agreed to Ryan, and he didn't want unrest in his hometown.

"Don't worry, you've seen how I treat Pokémon. I won't hurt the dragon-headed gopher. Of course, I won't use it to force you to surrender. When the situation stabilizes, you can serve Baron Bach. Totally loyal.”

After Ryan finished speaking, he directly asked the militiamen to escort him to the prison without looking at Noz's reaction.

"Let's go and have a look at the castle in Ironthorn Town."

Ryan brought Tian Wu Ni and Gardevoir to the castle in Ironthorn Town.

The income of Ironthorn Town is higher than that of Yinghuo Town, and the castle is naturally built more magnificently and luxuriously. Compared with the Castle of Ironthorn Town, the castle of Yinghuo Town is like a small fortress.

Seeing this, Ryan couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

It seems that my cheap father really doesn't know how to make money. Not only is he living a tight life, but he has not even built a castle to show the dignity of the noble family.

He thought that the baron's castles were all so small, but it turned out that his own castle was small, and it was built with borrowed money. It really embarrassed the nobles.

However, Ryan doesn't have any requirements for where to live. He could live in a rental house as small as that in his previous life. No matter how small the castle in Yinghuo Town is, it is still a castle, and it is much better than a rental house.

Besides, no matter how well-built the castle in Ironthorn Town is, what's the point of it, it's just making yourself easier.

This is what I call my neighbors to store grain and me to store guns. My neighbors are my granaries. Your castle is well built, but now it belongs to me!

Ryan looked at the environment of the castle and nodded with satisfaction. In the future, he can visit Ironthorn Town from time to time and try out what it feels like to live in a big castle.

He has no intention of rebuilding the Yinghuo Town Castle. With that kind of money, he might as well develop the territory. Moreover, if you want to live in a luxurious castle, Guanhai City has it ready.

I heard that the Viscount Castle in Guanhai City was magnificently built, and those merchants were quite willing to spend money in order to corrupt the lords of Guanhai City.

Although the scale does not exceed the limit of the viscount's castle and is smaller than the count's and duke's castles, the decoration inside is extremely luxurious and there are many various facilities. All the nobles who have been there praise it, and even the duke feels that his own The castle is far inferior to this Viscount Castle.

And this is also the reason why the merchants built the castle so magnificently. On the one hand, it is to corrupt the lords, make them happy and uninterested in political affairs, so that they can take advantage of them.

On the other hand, it also shows other nobles the benefits of cooperating with them. Their merchants have nothing but plenty of gold coins. As long as you cooperate with them, you can also own such a castle.

Nobles are naturally good-looking and love luxury. The merchant's move just scratches their itch. They also know that there is a risk of being sidelined when cooperating with the merchant, but there are still nobles who can't resist the temptation and try to cooperate with the merchant.

Although it is only an initial cooperation, the goals of the businessmen have been achieved. As long as the nobles are willing to accept their investment, they will have the confidence to corrupt these nobles with money, and then slowly draw the nobles to the Mutual Chamber of Commerce.

Ryan knew very well that Baron Bach was the first nobleman to join the Chamber of Commerce, but he was by no means the last. The merchants could not have only extended invitations to Bach and him.

They will also send invitations to other nobles, and maybe some nobles will join the Chamber of Commerce now.

Therefore, if Ryan really wants to occupy Guanhai City, he must prepare in advance. He will not only face the enemy Guanhai City, but also other nobles.

"Forget it, I don't want to think about it that much. Ironthorn Town and Rose Town haven't digested it yet. I'm really getting carried away by wanting to occupy Guanhai City right here."

Ryan shook his head and stopped thinking about it. He asked the militia to call the players who were still wandering around the city looking for hidden tasks, and then said to them:

"This war is basically over. We have won a brilliant victory. This victory is inseparable from the help of all the trainers. You did not disappoint me. I will also keep my promise and give you rewards."

As soon as Ryan finished speaking, the players cheered and then discussed with each other how much rewards they could get this time.

"Quiet! I know you are very excited now and want to get rewards immediately, but Xiao Luo also needs some time to calculate the contribution, not to mention that it is getting late, so I plan to give you rewards after returning to Firefly Town."

"I will hold a celebration banquet in Firefly Town and let all the residents of Firefly Town come to participate, and then give you rewards in front of them and confer honorary knights!"

When the players heard Ryan say that the rewards would be issued later, they felt a little disappointed.

Then they heard Ryan say that he would hold a celebration banquet for them and give them rewards in front of all the people. The players were no longer disappointed and started to howl excitedly.

They played games for the sense of achievement. They were excited to receive rewards in front of so many people and receive cheers from the people.

Although they knew that the people were NPCs, this was a game that simulated reality 100%. There was no difference between NPCs and real people, and they could give them the same feeling as in the real world.

Not to mention that there were players who could be canonized as honorary knights by Lord Ryan. Being canonized for merit was a dream that every man had. Now they finally had the opportunity to realize this dream. Unfortunately, this honor was not theirs.

Thinking of this, the players cast envious and jealous eyes at Chen Yan and Zaliang Guoba. Among all the players, only these two had the opportunity to be canonized. They really deserved to die!

Chen Yan and the other two also noticed the looks of other players. They were naturally excited, but also a little nervous and worried. Lord Ryan didn't say how many honorary knights he would confer. If he only conferred one, he would probably be happy for nothing.

Especially Zaliang Guoba, he felt that his contribution was not as good as Chen Yan's. If there was only one honorary knight, it would most likely be Chen Yan's, and the possibility of him being conferred was very small.

Unless he caught the escaped Baron Bach before he was conferred.

Therefore, Zaliang Guoba planned to run to the Firefly Forest as soon as he went online tomorrow. He had to catch Baron Bach!

Ryan didn't stop the players from cheering this time. He wanted to mobilize the players' emotions. Only by giving them positive feedback and satisfying their spiritual needs could they work harder for him in the future.

Although he was not a game planner in his previous life, he was also an old player. He knew what the players wanted and how to make them willing to be stripped by him. Ahem, in short, as long as the players are happy, Ryan is creating happiness with his heart~

After the players calmed down, Ryan asked them to go offline in the room of the castle and return to Firefly Town with him tomorrow.

"Captain Sailer, the night patrol work is handed over to you. You lead the knights and the militia to patrol the streets to prevent accidents."

Ryan ordered Sailer.

"I obey your orders. How many knights do you need to defend the castle?"

"Now there is a shortage of manpower, so there is no need to send knights to guard the castle. I am enough. You take the knights to keep an eye on the families of the knights in Ironthorn Town, especially those who receive the bodies. I am afraid that they will do something bad when they get excited."

Some of the knights in Ironthorn Town joined the knight team based on the glory of their fathers. Among their elders, there are knights who have retired long ago. Although these old knights are old, they are not without the ability to fight.

After all, some old knights still have Pokémon around them. Although those Pokémon are old and injured, Bach did not take them back. However, for ordinary people, those Pokémon are still fatal and can easily cause unrest.

"I'm sorry, your safety is the most important thing. I'll leave a few knights behind."

Sailer said with a worried look on his face. In fact, he didn't understand why the so-called trainers brought by Ryan went to rest and sleep at night. Don't they know that the first night of occupying a town is the most dangerous?

Why are they so careless? The lord doesn't care about them.

If the players knew what Sailer was thinking at this time, they would definitely complain loudly:

"It was the lord who asked us to rest at night. We wanted to play all day, but Lord Ryan wouldn't let us!"

Ryan shook his head and said:

"No need. You have seen my strength in Rose Town. Ordinary scoundrels are no match for me. If you leave the knights, I will have to distract myself to protect them. It is better for me to stay in the castle alone."

Sailor also felt that what Ryan said made sense. With Ryan's strength, if he really encountered trouble, the knights left behind would be a burden.

"I understand. I will lead the patrol now."

"Well, thank you for your hard work."

After Sailer left, only Ryan and some servants were left in the huge castle. Oh, yes, there were also the captured Bach family.

Ryan still had some aristocratic style. He did not let Mrs. Bach and her children live in the prison, but took them to the castle.

"Mrs. Bach, it's getting late. You can take your child to a room to rest. You should be more familiar with this castle than I am. You don't need me to lead the way. As for how to deal with you, let's wait until tomorrow."

Ryan turned to the trembling Mrs. Bach and said.

Mrs. Bach immediately begged Ryan pitifully when she heard this: "Sir, please let my child go. He still..."

"I said, let's talk about it tomorrow!"

Ryan frowned and interrupted Mrs. Bach's begging.

"Yes~"

Mrs. Bach responded aggrievedly. She didn't dare to anger Ryan now.

Ryan waved his hand and asked the servant to lead him to the study. He still had a reward to draw.

Mrs. Bach looked at Ryan's back and couldn't help biting her red lips with her silver teeth.

She couldn't figure out Ryan's attitude towards them and their son, and she didn't know how Ryan would deal with them tomorrow.

This feeling of not being able to control one's own destiny is very uncomfortable. It's all her fault that incompetent man. Not only did he lose his territory, but he couldn't even protect his wife and children.

It seems that she can only rely on her to protect herself and her children. Mrs. Bach's eyes gradually became firm. She said to the maid beside her lightly:

"The young master is tired. You take him to the bedroom to rest first, and then come to serve me to bathe."

As the previous mistress of this castle, Mrs. Bach can still command these servants.

"Yes."

The maid took the young master who had already fallen asleep in Mrs. Bach's arms away, and then led Mrs. Bach to the bathroom.

At this time, Ryan didn't know that Mrs. Bach had "bad intentions" towards him. He came to the study, glanced around, and found that there were quite a few books in the study.

This is a bit strange. Baron Bach doesn't seem to be a person who likes reading.

Ryan took out a book and looked at it. It was called a book, but it was more like a leather scroll. It recorded some customs and customs in other parts of the Kingdom of Arad, as well as rumors about Pokémon.

Most of these rumors are not detailed, and seem to be made up. Anyway, Ryan did not find the Pokémon corresponding to the rumors.

However, it is not bad to read this rumor as a novel story. It is quite interesting to read. Before he knew it, Ryan had finished reading the book.

"This animal skin scroll can't carry much text, far less than paper."

Ryan said with lingering feelings. He could feel that there was still something to write in this book, but due to the animal skin scroll, he could only finish it in a hurry.

"No, I came to draw a lottery, why did I start reading a book!"

Ryan suddenly remembered the purpose of coming to the study. He put the animal skin scroll back on the bookshelf, and then sat down at the desk to prepare for the lottery.

"It's a mistake. I should have shaken hands with Xiyue before she went offline, and rubbed her good luck."

Ryan said angrily. He struggled for a while, and finally decided to draw tonight. This is an intermediate and advanced lottery, and the rewards can't be too bad.

He touched Tian Wu Ni, who was already sleeping in a daze, hoping to borrow some good luck from it.

"God Arceus, you don't want me to start playing badly because I didn't draw a good reward, right? Give it to me."

"Knock knock~"

Just as Ryan was about to draw, he was interrupted by a knock on the door.

"Who is it?"

Ryan said impatiently. He was interrupted by someone just when he felt like he had won a big prize, which made him very upset.

"My lord, it's me" a soft voice came from outside the door.

Mrs. Bach? Why did she come to see him? She wants to beg him again? Didn't I say we'll talk about it tomorrow?

Ryan opened the door and wanted to drive Mrs. Bach away, but as soon as he opened the door, he was stunned.

What...what does this mean?

You're going to test the lord with this, right? !
