Chapter 461 Western Fantasy
For the nobles, the status of "tutor" means two illusions.
An old man, or his father's... his lover.
Adrian only understood this truth in the ambiguous conversations of other people in social situations after he became an adult and inherited the title.After all, nine out of ten tutors he met in his own youth were in the former category.Even if younger ones appeared occasionally, they were just middle-aged men with a sallow face and too thin a figure.
He originally included this as part of the "nobles, always so absurd".Until now, looking at the handsome and focused young man beside him, I suddenly got inspiration.
Indulge yourself.Adrian thought.
He has worked hard for a long time.Ever since I started using the pseudonym "Eddie Sevien", I haven't had a single easy moment.The most contact with Faith is when I go to bed every night.But when the two fall asleep and open their eyes, they are never at the same time.Furthermore, it has been the past few days.
He is not a mechanical puppet made by dwarf craftsmen, and there are always times when he needs to expend energy on himself.
For example, now.
The long silver hair was stuck to the skin of the two people with sweat, and the temperature in the room was getting higher and higher.
Numerous scrolls of official documents fell to the ground.Adrian gave a soft "ah" and turned sideways subconsciously.In the next moment, Feit held his chin and ushered in another kiss.
"Don't look at those things." Feit said in a slightly narrow tone while kissing his lover, his Duke...well, he is now a "Viscount", "A qualified 'teacher' should focus on Own 'students'."
Adrian took a breath and thought: Where am I not focused?
When the windows of the room were opened again, the long afternoon came to an end.
Adrian lazily re-tied his hair.In the middle of the action, his work was taken over by Feit.
The knight's fingers passed between the young man's long hair, and he lowered his head to smell the fragrance in his hair fascinatedly.The movements didn't stop, and after a while, the shrewd and capable "Viscount" appeared again.
Full of love, Faith continued the atmosphere of the afternoon, saying, "I'll go to the kitchen to see what I'm going to have for dinner tonight."
Adrian said at the same time: "Honey, I have an idea."
The two ushered in a brief silence, and then spoke again later.
Adrian: "Well, yes, it's time for dinner."
Dusk had already stained the outer sky.Looking out of the window from Adrian's point of view, you can see a large scene of gold, orange and clouds intertwined.It is the same as every dusk in the past and in the future, and there are too many changes.
He was immersed in it for a while, and Feit came around from behind him, sat down beside him, and asked, "What do you think? Let's hear it."
Adrian opened his mouth a little, then closed it again.He thought for a moment, then smiled, "Let's eat first."
Faith looked at him in surprise.After a while, that surprise turned into a smile again.
He kissed Adrian on the cheek again, and said, "Wait for me to come back."
Adrian listened to the knight's gentle, slightly hoarse voice.Obviously he has heard it many times in the past, but at this moment, he still has a fever on his face.
After a while, I realized: "Why not move?"
Feit coughed, embarrassed to say that he was fascinated by the Duke again just now.
He changed the subject: "I'll be right back."
Adrian nodded with a smile, but their eyes were still entangled.
Getting closer and closer.
Until Adrian's back touched the table, and at the same time touched the stacked scrolls again. With a "click", the scroll with gray marks on it fell to the ground for the second time.The two finally woke up with a start, and laughed together.
……
……
What Adrian thought of was the future situation.
Admittedly, all developments now are within the scope of his and Feith's planning.Those [-] poor people have completely completed their identity transformation and become ordinary farmers on this land.Including the original population, the number of residents of Viscount Severn is about [-].
These 10 people are spending a winter that is completely different from the past.
The warrior masters from the main city led them deep into the forest to find all kinds of edible wild goods.Some of them are kept to eat by themselves, and the other part is processed and given to the merchants who come to collect goods regularly.
The youngest son of the family was sent as an apprentice in the dwarf's workshop.But the brat always likes to run in the direction of warrior training, yelling brazenly, "I'm going to be an adventurer in the future."After a few days, it became "I will also accept the employment of the Viscount Lord in the future".
The girls from neighboring villages were no longer taken to the main city in advance when they got married, and no one became the personal maid of the Viscount.Instead, many of the castle's servants were brought home to participate in the labor of the family.
Everything is going in a good direction.Many times, people will be shocked in their dreams and feel that they have "woke up", and the previous situation is real.
The tax collector left with most of the food in the family, and he had to tighten his belt if he wanted to survive the winter...
After half a day, I remembered from the feeling of fullness in my stomach that I ate bread with mushroom sauce the night before.Hey, even the bread isn't as rough and mouth-sick as it used to be.
But Adrian still felt that it wasn't enough.
He deeply knows that everything now is just the calm before the storm.When the Jonalin's family finishes all the big deals during the harvest season and the following hunting activities, sooner or later they will withdraw their hands and send people to the viscount's territory again.
Adrian didn't want to break up with Jonalin's family so soon.But he asked himself, it was impossible for him to watch the Valley of the Slaves being rebuilt.
Even during this period, many people came to ask him, saying that a certain friend or family member of his was, if nothing else, in another valley under the control of the Jonalin family.They looked at Master "Viscount" expectantly, wanting Adrian to save them together.
Adrian didn't agree.
He already has a lot to worry about, and even the current situation may not be able to maintain.In this case, it is impossible to have one more stall in hand.
But he refused with his mouth, but he was thinking in his heart: Maybe one day in the future, I will indeed...
"Train them." While breaking the bread and soaking it in the soup, Adrian said, "There are a lot of soldiers gathered in the main city. They may not have any bad ideas, but doing nothing for a long time will cause turmoil in itself. So , find something for them to do."
Feit listened, thought for a moment, and said, "Do you want them to belong to the Viscounty?" Just like those people who were originally hired by the old Severn.In general, they cannot refuse the orders of the lord.Correspondingly, the leader is responsible for their food, clothing, housing and transportation.
Adrian thought for a moment: "Yes, but not all of them. You can speak first, only the top third of the people can enter the guard."
"The rest—"
"'One-third' is just for them, and it depends on their performance in the end." Adrian said, "You decide how many people actually enter the guard. As for the rest, if it's just mediocre, it doesn't matter. .If it was unstable before, there is no need for people to stay in the Viscountdom.”
The last sentence was said very indifferently by him.But both Adrian and Feit knew that if this situation really happened, they would start to take measures.
However, that is after all a matter of the future.
At the moment, Feit felt a little regretful: "I thought I would be with you every day to deal with paperwork."
Adrian smiled: "Of course you also need to be with me—half a day is enough to train those people. If they really want to stay, the other half of the day will be put to good use. As for you, dear, you Do you want to be with me in the morning, or in the afternoon?"
"It's hard to choose," Feit murmured, "Well, let me experience both situations first."
Adrian blinked: "Okay, then we can officially start this matter in three days."
……
……
The newly appointed Lord Viscount is going to recruit guards!When the news got out, even the people who were in charge of leading the farmers to do various things in the nearby villages became agitated and stood on tiptoe, wanting to join in.
Immediately afterwards, thinking of the new contract that fell on them before they set off, they shook their heads with regret and returned to their daily work.
This is what the fighters have become accustomed to in recent months.No one knows when the next task will come and what kind of treatment it will be.They seem to be walking in an orchard that is only allowed to pick once, and they need to carefully select and consider carefully from the surrounding trees.Maybe this is the biggest fruit in front of you, but there is also a possibility that you will encounter bigger and sweeter fruits when you walk down.Do you want to pick it?Or wait a little longer...
In the past, it was they who felt proud that they had made the right choice.Now, the bigger fruit appeared.
The soldiers outside sighed long, while the soldiers in the main city began to cheer.
Have you heard?As long as you pass the recruitment, you can sign a contract with Mister Sombra that lasts for several years.Admittedly, they can't do whatever they want as if they were hired by someone else.But the treatment given by Mr. Heiying is all real, and it is still the same sentence, "The contract binds both parties at the same time."That is to say, the situation where the contract is broken and nothing is obtained after finishing the work will also not happen among the soldiers.
Must attend.Soldiers who came with this idea quickly filled the square and got more accurate news.
The recruiting process lasted a full month? ... a bit long, but you can get used to it.
This month will be used for training? ... This is nothing, even a warrior who has nothing to do, knows that strength is the way to survive.
With this in mind, the Cavaliers signed up enthusiastically.
Then, on the same day, they realized that they were wrong.
Mr. Sombra's training, is it something ordinary people can bear?
Seeing the bewildered companions who fell to the ground with a "boom", the soldiers swallowed one after another and stepped back.
Veit, who was in the middle of them, pursed his lips.Then he realized that to this day, he and Adrian are still wearing disguises.
This is also an impossible situation.A young man with silver hair and golden eyes, with a knight with brown hair beside him.But anyone who has been in contact with Wang will have more or less guesses in his heart when he hears this description.Just in case, of course, be careful.
As for "in Viscount Severn's territory, the new ruler seems a bit strange."This kind of rumor is always less eye-catching than "Duke Langton is still alive".If the truth is spread, it may make people think that the successor has long been under house arrest, and now all the consuls who come forward are ambitious.
Feit restrained his expression, looked around, and asked in a rather deliberate and smiling tone, "Who else wants to come?"
The author has something to say:
Sudden craving for egg rolls...
Crunchy and fragrant =v=!
