Release that Witch Chapter 133: Elk Knight (below)
Prius was searched again before entering the living room. This time the body search was much more meticulous. From top to bottom, every place where the knife or dagger could be hidden was touched, and the soles were not missed.
He then saw in the hall the Greycastle Fourth Prince, Border Town feudal lord who defeated the Duke coalition, and the new Western Region, Roland Wimbledon.
The prince has long gray hair symbolizing the blood of the royal family, and his face looks very young, at most twenty years old. He had no hair, and no crown. The fingers holding the quill pen were long. Similarly, he could not see a jewellery ring or ring on his hand, and even the bracelet was very rare in noble.
"Prius Dussat, Knight of Count Elk?" Roland leaned on the chair and looked at the list in his hand.
"Yes, Your Highness." Prius kneeling on one knee descended.
He has been hard to believe so far. It is such a person who can't even see a beard on his face, and can lead a group of miners and hunter to defeat Duke Ryan, which has long been Western Region.
"Are you literate? Read and write? Stand up answer."
"I will, Your Highness, this is the most basic requirement of a Knight," Prius Huangyou stood up, and suddenly thought that when some old Knight was seized, Greycastle was not popular yet, and added, " I mean, a new batch of Knight. "
In the past three decades, there have been fewer and fewer Knights registered with military force and military achievements, and other considerations have also increased. If you do n’t write and read documents, it will be difficult for feudal lord to fancy. And the rise of outstanding young people like Kingdom Capital's Knight Howling, Western Region's Morning Light, and so on, set the requirements of Knight to a new height.
So after becoming a trainee Knight, the first thing to learn is to read and read characters. The level is higher, and various etiquettes need to be proficient.
But Prius doesn't understand. Why does His Highness ask this question?
"Very well," the prince nodded, "then I will make a verdict now."
This sentence made him hold his breath for a moment.
"You have two options. One is to go to Northern Slope Mine for 20 years to redeem your sins, and the other is to become a teacher and teach me citizen to learn to read and write text. Miners are not slaves and they are paid You can rest three days a month. Teachers not only have salary, but also have free housing. They can take two days off a week. However, if you choose the latter, you must work until the age of 50 to quit this position. Rest assured, At that time, even if you do n’t do it, the salary will be paid as usual.
Prius was slightly relieved after listening, and as expected, he was not executed or exiled. But these two options puzzled him. The miner sounded like a coolie, but His Highness said that there are still salary and ... holiday? Isn't it only a knowledgeable person to be a teacher? He just can read and write. Moreover, it is taught that citizen is What does it mean. Your Highness Is it possible wants to train these civilians as noble?
Most importantly, neither mentioned how their territory should be handled.
Prius looked up at the Prince of Eyes and asked carefully: "His Highness Esteemed, I do n’t know if I choose one of the two, my territory will ..."
"From the moment you raised your sword to me, your territory is no longer yours," Roland said politely. "At this point, I have reached an agreement with the heir of Elk Clan, and he will Convert the property in your territory to gold royal and compensate you, and after you make a choice, the new Earl will send the compensation to your Border Town together with your family so that he can free up a new place to recruit Knight. " >
Prius's heart sank. There was only one house on his territory, a group of chickens and ducks and fish in the pond. How much compensation could these things be worth? The new Earl will definitely cut another knife on it ... It will be difficult to say whether there will be thirty gold royal at that time. Earl just died, his heirs just abandoned themselves, this ruthless disappointed Prius.
"As an accomplice of the rebels, this is a very slight verdict." Roland paused, "Besides, what's so bad about a bare land? Whether you choose to go to a mine or to be a teacher, you can slap it To the remuneration for purchasing land at Border Town. "
Hearing this sentence, Prius has regained a little spirit, and he will definitely not consider mining the next mine. As for the other option ... "His Highness, I don't know what the teacher's salary is?"
"If you are a junior teacher, there will be 20 silver royal per month, and 5 will be added each year until the age of 50. The salary after the age of 50 is calculated based on the maximum increase. Incidentally, this right cannot be inherited , Nor transferable. "
Prius calculated a little bit, and found that there are nearly 3 gold royals in a year's income, and it can also increase year by year. As long as four or five years later, it can almost catch up with the revenue of its own territory. "His Royal Highness Teacher is What does it mean ... are there other types of teachers?"
"Of course there is. Junior teachers only teach reading and writing, intermediate and advanced ones teach the knowledge of various disciplines, and they are all-inclusive. As long as you have a unique skill that is beneficial to the development of Border Town, you can do it." Roland sat straight, " What, do you have any skills? I don't need horseback riding and Swordsmanship. "
But I'm not good at these, Prius thought. He hesitated before he said, "Your Highness, can you raise chickens and ducks? I'm very good at fishing." As soon as he said that, he regretted it. What kind of skill is this, he can live by leaving them in the wild There are many cats and birds in noble, and no one has ever raised this thing. As for fishing ... it's like hunting, it's just a personal hobby.
Your Highness did not expect to be interested in the first half of the sentence, "Oh? How to raise it, let me hear it."
Prius had no choice but to bite the bullet and said, "Uh, according to my breeding experience in the territory, compared to full stocking, supplementing with some grain every day, they can grow faster. If the grain is mixed with sand , The same effect can also save food. It is best to set up a shed in a ventilated place to shade, protect from rain and cold. Especially in the hot summer, if there is no shed, the hen will likely stop laying eggs. Put straw in the winter, It can prevent the chickens from freezing to death. In addition, if you feed small fish every month, the chickens will rarely get sick. Of course, the cleaning of chicken manure is also important ... "
Finally, he found that His Highness the Prince even laughed. "Yes, it seems that Western Region's noble is not useless."
"His Royal Highness?" Prius was at a loss for the meaning of his words.
Fortunately, Roland Wimbledon quickly relieved his concern, "I will send someone to buy a batch of chickens and ducks back from Longsong Stronghold, and at the same time give you a piece of land west of the border, you raise these poultry. If you do well, Then teach the breeding method. The salary is calculated according to intermediate teachers. In the first year, 50 silver royal starts every month, and it increases by 10 each year. Of course, if it fails, Northern Slope Mine is your only choice. "(To be continued. If you like This work, you are welcome to start casting, your support is my biggest motivation.
