37. The so-called aristocracy

The outbreak of war was too unexpected by all.

When the news of Asuna's dispatch spread, the entire kingdom of Dabion instantly fell into a kind of panic. In this case, the honeymoon period between the conservatives and the hawks in the military department quickly ended, and they threw themselves into the arms of the doves, who had been silent in the Lonnis incident, and this time even the neutrals, who did not have a very high sense of existence, formed a force that could not be ignored in an instant, but the more the neutrals united, the more irritated the hawks became, because the neutrals could not support their position at all.

The reformers, on the other hand, have unexpectedly chosen to remain silent this time.

The shadow that Asuna has caused to the entire kingdom of Dabion is too strong, so strong that it has completely lost the fighting spirit of this generation.

As the initiator of this panic, Sean continued to move forward with a nonchalant face.

There is still about a day to go from White Pigeon Town, and if the team is a little faster, they can even arrive in White Pigeon Town in the early hours of the morning, which is good news. As for Lonnis, who was regarded as a rare animal, after eating the meat and bones for two days, he had become honest, and he no longer had the energy to think about what would become of his country, because his survival or not had become a question now.

The ideal is very plump, and the reality is very skinny.

Lonis chewed on the meaning of this sentence repeatedly, a little surprised by the meaning contained in this sentence, and his hostility towards Sean was unconsciously alleviated a lot.

He began to feel that Sean was a worthy opponent.

Of course, Sean didn't know that his casual words would have a brainwashing effect on Lonnis, and if he knew the truth, I am afraid that he would stuff all the online words he learned on Earth into Lonnis's head. In fact, when Sean said this in the first place. It's just that he is purely complaining about Lonnis, but because the content of the words is too advanced, this kind of complaining is a little boring, and the last thing is that after Cecilia asked the meaning of this sentence, Sean opened his mouth to explain, and everyone understood the meaning of this sentence.

In an instant, many people's perception of Sean immediately changed from one person to another.

Although he is moving forward according to the established route, Sean is not doing nothing, he is sorting out the territory information in his mind at this time, and sorting and storing it in different categories.

This feature. It was discovered by accident only recently by Sean, but when exactly he had it, he himself did not know. But it's a good thing for him to be able to sort it out like this, and he's found out. Many buildings have special functions.

For example, in the education category, there is a thing called the "Magic Library". The name sounds pretty cool. But it's actually something like a smart library on Earth. It allows anyone who studies in the library to get a +20% commission on efficiency, and the library can also be upgraded, and the level 5 library can increase the efficiency by 40%, which can greatly reduce the learning efficiency of students.

It looks good, though, but the building requirements aren't easy.

Not to mention the fact that it was built on the premise of establishing a college, and that it had a secondary research institute and a series of other building facilities. The magic power source alone discouraged Sean. Not to mention that this world has not yet developed to the era of magic technology, even if it does, Sean can't afford this kind of thing, it is a thing that can easily cost millions of dollars. According to the requirements of the fifth-level magic guide library, this magic power source alone requires nearly fifty million gold coins.

With this money, Sean might as well build a non-commissioned officer academy, which can allow Sean to directly cultivate a large number of non-commissioned officers, which is an absolutely necessary important building for Sean, because he can't only have one or two armies in the future, and the size of the army can't be so small. Therefore, with the expansion and reintegration of the army, the mid-level non-commissioned officers are a very important link, after all, when the commander of any army gives orders on the battlefield, it is impossible to detail it to the level of the team, after all, this is not a game, but a real world.

It's just that the premise of the construction of the non-commissioned officer academy is still to build an academy first, which makes Sean very distressed.

Basically, almost all of the building premises in the education system require the establishment of a college first. This is the framework of the whole system, and only after this framework is created first, can other details be adjusted in this framework, but when he thinks about the huge amount of money and vast floor space required to build the academy, Sean feels that the pressure is too great.

And even if Sean can really tinker with an academy and build things such as the Non-Commissioned Officer Academy, Magic Tower, etc., it doesn't mean that he can start cultivating it immediately, and there is another very key factor in this, that is, the quality of teachers. How can it be possible to educate good students without good teachers, even if William, Cecilia, Alfred, and Rena are all sent by Sean to make guest appearances as teachers, but it is still far from enough.

Sean is really melancholy.

It's a desperate feeling to be in a treasure trove and not be able to get in.

By the time they were all sorted, the team was almost arriving in White Dove before they knew it.

Sean sighed a little tiredly, and Cecilia asked with a concerned expression, "What's wrong?" ”

"It's nothing, it's just a little ...... Dysphoria. Sean said a little unpleasantly, but when he turned around, he saw Lonnis who was lying in the cage and was asleep, and he was even more unhappy, so he walked over and stretched out his hand to beat the cage and woke Lonis up.

"It's time to eat?" Lonis rubbed his eyes and yawned as he sat up a little lazily.

The cage wasn't tall enough for Lonis to stand up, and it didn't allow him to sleep comfortably in a large shape, he was basically curled up when he slept, and even during his usual activities, he could only sit, occasionally chatting with Sean to pass the time. So at this moment, he got up and sat in the cage, but he really felt a little like a rare animal, and this consciousness instantly made Sean even more crazy.

"Hopefully there's a little more meat on the bones today." Lonnis muttered. Unfortunately, the people around the cage were all guys with extraordinary ears, so this muttering naturally failed to hide Sean and the others.

"I said, can you be a little more backbone!" Sean felt that it was obviously a good thing to torture the enemy, but suddenly it became less pleasant, "You are a nobleman! A genius who wants to inherit the title of Marquis in the future and may even become the sixth duke of the Kingdom of Dabiang, can't you be more like a nobleman? ”

"What, it's not dinner time yet." Lonis plucked out his ears and pouted dissatisfiedly, "I'm just a trophy." Aren't I just a monkey in your eyes? …… By the way, if I learn monkey barking. Can you bring more meat to the bones of your next meal? ”

"What about your shame!" Sean roared.

"That thing can be eaten for dinner?" Lonnis looked at Sean with a look of surprise, "It's not like you say anything 'life is like strong. If you can't resist, you have to learn to enjoy'? …… So I can only try to enjoy it, anyway, the Marquis of Tonis has already sent troops to participate in this battle, what suspense is there in this war? I might as well just stay and wait until the war is over. ”

"It's only been a few days. Has your will been worn out like this? Sean looked at Lonis in disbelief.

Is this still the same commander who ordered to fight to the death with him in the barracks?

It's not scientific to look at it!

Where is the high-spirited Lonnis?

"Are all the nobles like this?" Sean looked at Cecilia in surprise.

"Aren't you a nobleman?" Rena and Shephaneo looked curious.

Although Sean's title at the moment is only a knight, his demeanor and etiquette are obviously more elegant and far-sighted than the average nobleman. All think. Sean is definitely an unknown member of the ancient nobility of the Chainas Empire. So at this moment, everyone was surprised that Sean asked such a thing, and even seemed to have become accustomed to being forced. The treacherous Lonnis pricked up his ears as well.

It's not false that he is a little self-defeating, but that doesn't mean that Lonnis's mind has been completely wiped out.

"It's different from the aristocracy I remember." Sean said with a look of surprise, "Isn't the defeat of the nobles to maintain the elegance and pride that belongs to the nobles even if they die?" Look at this guy, it's only been a few days! It's like a leper dog! ”

"So I went down from monkey to leper dog?" Lonis continued to pluck his ears. Say something that almost makes Sean go berserk.

However, everyone was also a little relieved about Sean's question.

"There is no comparison between now and before." Cecilia thought for a moment, but then spoke, "The nobility of the past was a belief in chivalry and dogma. The lords paid taxes to the nobles and lords, who were responsible for sheltering their own lords. …… But now with the increase of aristocracy, the aristocratic system is divided into three different grades: field, real power, and strength, so faith and spirit have already produced some changes, coupled with the frequent wars now, so it is not uncommon for nobles to become captives, so there is also a noble war protection treaty, but this kind of treaty is not binding, just because there are entanglements in interests, so many people will choose to acquiesce. ”

This kind of treaty, Sean knows very well, is nothing more than if the nobleman becomes a prisoner, as long as he can pay the ransom that satisfies the victory, he can be released. Of course, if his family or family members are not willing to pay the ransom for him, then he can choose to pay the ransom himself or sign some contract with the victor, such as serving the victor for many years as the price of redemption.

"For the nobles of today, it is actually a ...... to die generously," Cecilia frowned, as if to consider the word, "quite a stupid thing. …… Basically, as long as there is hope of being released or redeeming themselves, many nobles are willing to give up the face of dignity. Of course, there are still some nobles in this world who still advocate chivalry and faith, but they are a minority after all. ”

"What would you do if I decided to kill you now?" After hearing Cecilia's words, Sean turned his head to look at Lonnis.

"Non-negotiable?"

"Nope."

"Then allow me to take a bath, let me have a hearty dinner at the end of the day, and return my head to my family after the worst." Lonis said in a deep voice, and the lewd temperament of a leper dog on his body was completely gone. (To be continued.) )

PS: I fell asleep on the table with the yard...... Now the face is full of keyboard prints, looking at the sky, there is a dinner at night, and I don't know if the road can be eliminated.
