Tribulation of Mysteries - Chapter 16

[Chapter 16 Heading to the Fiefdom]

The next day.

Aaron walked along the corridors of the castle.

The scene last night scared him a little.

The appearance of that round of black sun, especially the ability to ‘broadcast around the world’, made him even more afraid.

Although that round of gibbering only lasted for a few minutes and then dissipated automatically, it would obviously bring more changes to that world.

He needed to think about it.

“Your Excellency Aaron!”

At this moment, a voice came from behind, it was Viscount Felipe Getuo.

“Lord Viscount.”

Aaron stopped and smiled.

“Your Excellency Aaron is indeed young and promising… He single-handedly took down the castle with dozens of people. Such a great achievement is indistinguishable from the legendary hero.”

Li Li’s face was full of smiles .

: “If I had known in advance, I would have put in good words in front of the king and asked for a title for Lord Aaron. I believe that Baron or even Viscount would not be a problem.”

“The size of the title has no meaning, the key is to look at the territory and strength. Aaron

shrugged his shoulders: “If there’s nothing else, I’ll leave first.”

He didn’t even bother to participate in the family’s intrigues, let alone become the king’s sword.

Looking at Aaron’s back, Li Li had a playful expression on his face and said to himself: “You don’t even want to contact me. This Lord Aaron Sotos is indeed a smart man. It’s a pity that you think so, but Your eldest brother is quite stupid…”

As the king’s special envoy, he naturally has some confidential tasks.

It would be best if you could cause discord or even split within the Sotos family with just a few words.

A unified green forest is not in the interest of the Kargash Kingdom!

…

After the wedding, while all the guests were present, Aaron’s canonization ceremony was held.

Also under the big banyan tree, Theodore gave Aaron the soil and saplings representing the territory, and at the same time tapped his shoulder with his sword.

“I swear, I will repay the monarch with loyalty!”

“I swear, I will protect the territory with my sword!”

“I swear, I will abide by my honor, today and every day!”

…

Aaron wears a brand new knight Serve and solemnly swear that when you stand up, you will be a true knight.

As for the canonized territory, it was no surprise that it was the previously decided Blackstone Manor. The original territory of Wild Bear Saliba included a manor, a village, and a large area of forest nearby.

After completing all this, Aaron led his men directly to the Shanglu Forest.

It is worth mentioning that the maid Tia wanted to stay in the castle, and Aaron fulfilled her wish and gave her a sum of money.

…

Blackstone Manor.

This manor is very large, with its own mill, brewery, and granary… It can be seen that Saliba has carefully arranged the place.

At this time, these have become Aaron’s things.

“Sir, after our survey of the nearby villages, we found that there are about 500 people, and the cultivated land in the territory is about 1,000 rams.”

From behind, Eight Fingers said respectfully.

The ram here is the unit of land area in the green forest. One ram is roughly equivalent to about five acres of land.

“The area of cultivated land is still too small. Coupled with the existence of the lord, the poverty of the people is inevitable…”

Aaron thought in his heart and said casually: “The impact of the war should be eliminated as soon as possible. The barren land should be cultivated immediately. Replant immediately… This winter, I don’t want people to starve to death in my territory. I can temporarily lend some food rations to those hungry farmers from my private warehouse, and let them return it after next year’s harvest. “

You are so kind!” Eight Fingers sighed.

After all, in this era, it is normal for people to starve to death in winter!

“After all, this is my first year as a lord.” Aaron shook his head: “In addition, what is the response of Sanchez and the others? If they are willing to come, I will accept them as free people and grant them one ram of land. The squad leader will be doubled. ! “

His previous team had a pretty good run-in, and it was manpower that Aaron didn’t want to let go.

“I have contacted them one by one. Baker refused, Green and Sanchez both agreed, and there are more than a dozen other households…”

Eight Fingers bowed.

Speaking of which, he is the first free citizen in this territory.

“Well, with these manpower, my manor can almost be operational… Finally, I still need a clerk, or a bachelor!”

Aaron nodded. He had already prepared for this.

The bachelor in the castle should be able to recommend someone to come over. As long as he can read and know simple calculations and writing, he can’t be too demanding.

After taking care of these chores, he could finally devote all his energy to exploring the dream world.

…

Within the manor, of course the knights did not have a castle to live in.

The kind of building that combines the functions of residence, defense, fortress and other functions cannot be built by the knight’s economic strength.

Before, Saliba only mobilized the people to build a wooden villa for him.

At this time, it naturally belongs to Aaron.

When he came to the villa, there was no shortage of maids around him. The farmers here were very willing to send girls to the lord’s house. Even if there were no benefits, it would be good to have one less mouth to eat.

“By the way, there is still a little trouble.”

At this time, outside the villa, there was a woman of about thirty years old, waiting uneasily with two children beside her.

These are the wife and children of Knight Saliba, who should now be called widows.

“Mrs. Rita…”

Aaron took a step forward and said calmly: “You haven’t left yet?”

“I have…nowhere to go.”

Mrs. Rita smiled bitterly. She should not be Saliba’s second child. The first wife was still very young and beautiful: “I think… Dear Lord Knight, maybe you need a housekeeper?”

Aaron recalled that this lady should also be the daughter of a certain knight.

There is no way to go back now… It is very likely that her father or brother also resisted the Sotos family and died on the battlefield, and even the territory was completely deprived of them.

But at this time, a weak woman begged and dressed up specially, and the meaning contained in it was also very obvious.

Aaron shook his head: “I already have a steward. If Mrs. Rita has nowhere to go, she can become a free citizen in my territory. I will allocate you ten rams of land. You can hire farmers to farm it. It will be enough to raise a child.” The children have grown up…”

Rita wanted to say something else, which was obviously not what she wanted, but Aaron waved his hand, not prepared to get entangled with this woman.

You killed the other person’s husband, and your own family destroyed the other person’s family. Even if the other person does not have any ill intentions, you can never trust him!

If it had been before, maybe he would have stayed with the other party, played with it slowly, and watched the despair and ugliness of the other party after his conspiracy was exposed.

But now?

You still have to pursue the extraordinary and immortality wholeheartedly!
