I really just want to be a big lord

Chapter 113 Must Be Strong (Part [-])
However, after getting off the carriage, the situation here was different from what they had expected. It was neither a factory nor a cargo distribution center that required a large number of porters.

This is a large space surrounded by walls. Judging from the structure of those walls, it is obvious that this side is protected by a large magic circle, just like the Yutan Farm and Yutan settlement where they are located.

Moreover, there are no production tools or economical buildings here. Except for a row of two-story houses with no obvious purpose, the rest is a large area of ​​open space.

However, it can be clearly seen that the open space has been leveled on purpose, more like a place to train a team of Auras to fight.

A farmer with white hair who still maintains good muscle lines asked Qi Weiyu in a low voice with a flustered and anxious expression:

"Xiao Qi, it's possible that the master has that magical device, we don't need us to harvest and squeeze the fruit, and he doesn't want to raise us for nothing, so he wants to deal with us..."

Qi Weiyu was stunned for a moment, and looked back at him dumbfounded: "Old Potter, what are you talking about, even if we can't collect and squeeze fruit for the master, we are still full-time farmers, and when farmers sell to Other lords, or as porters or other full-time workers, can also sell a lot of magic coupons, how could they just... deal with it? What are you thinking!"

"Oh, what you said makes sense. It's the reason. It's impossible to deal with us... That would be too wasteful." Old Potter said with a sigh of relief.

Qi Weiyu originally wanted to say that old Potter was too confused, how could he have such out-of-the-ordinary worries, but when he glanced around, he suddenly found that the farmer, who was just as worried as old Potter and relaxed after listening to his words, was still worried. there are many.

It dawned on him that most of these farmers hadn't attended the basic knowledge training courses in the territory.

The training courses are free in the territory and participation is not compulsory.

Although a full-time farmer will not start training around the clock until he is 15 years old, implanting millstones and magic devices, but it takes many years to determine the qualifications of a farmer, so the companions around him are basically confirming the qualifications of a full-time farmer After that, I stopped going to the training class and started to play to my heart's content.

They are not qualified to go to training camps for mages and auras, their physical fitness is not good enough, and they cannot be selected as full-time farmers. Children who have not yet determined where to go will go to training classes to learn more, tap IQ talents, and see if they can pass other training courses. Lu Zi stepped into the line of servant and housekeeper, even if he ended up working in a factory or as a porter, he still had the opportunity to develop into management—although it was very slim, it was always possible.

Like Qi Weiyu, who did not pass the talent test in the training camp, did not show extraordinary IQ in studies, and after confirming the qualifications of farmers, there are very few people who have been going to training classes to learn literacy and mathematics.

How many books he has read, whether he is literate, whether he can count, in fact, it is useless when harvesting magic plants, squeezing magic and filling magic. It's not the fastest either, and it's even barely above average, not even the old Pete next to him.

But when things happen, even though they are also full-time farmers who have never been out of the territory, they can still see the difference in the length of time they stay in the training class.

However, he could understand that Old Pete and the others would have such outrageous ideas. After all, there were many rumors about the young lord in the early years in the settlements of the territory.

What cannibalism, eating children, extreme lecherousness, all female lords under the age of 30 will be required to take turns to accompany them after inheriting the title, and there are all kinds of exaggerated rumors such as weird and cruel sexual fetishes, and there are even rumors that Kaios Li is actually It was not the old baron's own son, but the birth of the King of Destruction who was entrusted by the devil, and it would be even more outrageous to say that it would bring destruction to the Holy Blessed Alliance.

He didn't believe these exaggerated rumors from the very beginning, but he was somewhat affected, thinking that the new lord would not be a serious lord, and that the title of baron might not be able to be kept in the future.

However, the news of the collapse of the "Sacred Law Church" spread last year, and after the disciplinary knights also went to their settlements and arrested several members of the "Sacred Law Church", they realized that those rumors were deliberately spread by the "Sacred Law Church" Came out to slander the former Master Keos and the current Baron Keos.

And last year their young lord, Baron Keos, also came to the territory. Although he only met at the farm from a distance, the baron let them rest and have extra meals for a month as soon as he arrived. With the addition of a freeze-frame collection reward, no matter how you look at the operation of giving grace, it will not be a cruel and incompetent lord.

So he believed what Shengyou Palace said. More than [-]% of the rumors about Baron Keos circulating in the territory must be false.

But he can figure this out, but others may not, like Old Potter and the others, who are obviously affected by those rumors to some extent, as if their lord is still the son of the devil who may eat people, the king of destruction. People are about to be "handled".

"Brother guard, according to your accent, he is from the north? Could it be that he is from the territory of Fengjiang?" Qi Weiyu asked the silver-armored guard who directed them to get off the carriage and line up.

There are several settlements of the Li family that have been inhabited for more than 50 years. Due to the different regions and ethnic composition, different settlements naturally formed unique accents.

The deputy steward of Qi Weiyu Yutan Farm is from Fengjiang Territory. He talked with the deputy steward. In the colony of their lord's people, the people in the two settlements to the north all have this accent, so he Guess one of them, at least 50% probability.

The silver-armored guard glanced at him, but didn't answer immediately. After a while, after tidying up the team, he came back and said casually: "Don't be nervous, just listen to... the command."

What command do you follow?That part was pronounced very lightly, Qi Weiyu couldn't hear it clearly.

Because of the mask blocking Qi Weiyu couldn't see the guard's expression clearly, but judging from his eyes, it wasn't serious.And judging from the tone of his speech and the posture of the whole person, he is relatively relaxed.

But in this way, Qi Weiyu became even more confused about the purpose of them being sent here.

He told old Potter that the worst outcome for them was to be sold by the lord, but judging from the current situation, he didn't think they would be sold.

The transactions of full-time farmers are not like individual contracted servants, because at least dozens or hundreds of transactions are made, and settlements of local people are basically built next to the farms, so usually the transactions of full-time farmers will be accompanied by the farmers' families, or even the whole family. All the residents of the settlement are counted.

So generally speaking, the lords are not very good at selling farmers when they are really helpless and difficult.

To sell, the farm is sold first, and then the residents and farmers in the settlement are temporarily transferred to other settlements under their own territory to live together. As long as there are people there, there is a chance to start a new farm again.

Especially in the settlements like the Li family that have existed for such a long time, the family members of those farmers are not only the family members of the farmers, but also the families of other contracted servants, guards, and servants, whether they are with the farmers or not. Selling, such a large-scale resale of citizens will affect the normal operation of the settlement to a certain extent.

What's more, only farmers were transported out this time, and there were no other citizens, which means that the possibility of them being sold is very low.

Originally, his guess was that a new factory was going to be built here, and they might be arranged to enter the factory, and they had to start participating from the construction of the factory building.

After all, he heard that the "creator" factory that the master recently set up, the business is very hot, and the orders have to be placed for several months or even a whole year. It is normal to expand the new factory.

But the problem is that there is no raw material for building a factory here, and if it is a factory, apart from the guards, there should be more managers here.

The doubts of him and other farmers were quickly broken by a voice.

"Do you know who I am?"

All the farmers followed the voice and saw a tall man wearing a black aristocratic casual robe, speaking at the door of those two-story houses on a simple platform built of several large wooden boxes.

"It seems to be the master?"

"Really master? Why is master here?"

"It must be the master, next to him is Harvey Nock, the grandson of the butler Noke, he is the master's personal bodyguard, and that beautiful female guard..."

"It's the master. Didn't you all see the master when he came to the farm last year?"

"What a master!"

Unlike on the farm, where there are a few stewards pressing down, the farmers will be restrained. At this time, when the farmers below see Kaios appearing, they all start discussing in a chaotic manner.

Kaios and the guards around him didn't yell, but the majesty of the lord was still there. They quickly stopped their whispering and shouted "Master" in twos and threes.

Harvey, Salvira, and even the other lightly-clothed guards next to them frowned and wanted to scold, but thinking of what Kaios had said before, they could only hold back their attacks.

After the farmers were quiet, Kaios glanced at them and spoke again:
"You should have seen the magic device on the farm, and you should know that it will replace your work on the farm now and in the future."

As soon as these words came out, the farmers couldn't help but rustle again.

This time, not to mention the guards next to him, even Qi Weiyu felt that something was wrong, so when the old Potter turned his head and asked him "Does the master mean to sell us", he just pushed him , and gave him a "don't talk" wink, but the old Potter obviously didn't understand what he meant, and he was quite aggrieved.

Kaios still waited for the farmers to calm down before continuing: "You will not be sent to other farms, nor will you be sold. It can be said with certainty that you will not be farmers in the future. Here , you will start a new career."

"Before that, I will conduct some tests on you, and the rules of the tests will be introduced to you by my personal bodyguard, Harvey." After saying that, Kaios jumped off the wooden box.

Harvey shouted angrily to the farmers: "Pay attention! I will show you a few topics in a while. If there is one, please raise your hand and don't talk. No, and don't ask other people. It is forbidden to discuss in private. say."

Soon, the two guards next to Harvey opened a huge canvas. There were a few or four words on it, and four magic words. content, but it is rare and rarely used on weekdays.

Qi Weiyu suddenly thought of what the guard said to him before, that was "just follow the master's command", but the word "master" is pronounced very lightly, and he didn't even think that the master would appear here at the time, so he didn't Think of the word.

Qi Weiyu suddenly raised his hand, he could recognize the four words and the four magic words.

Old Potter couldn't help turning around to ask him again. He was startled, and quickly stopped him with his eyes, but it was too late. As soon as Old Potter opened his mouth, a guard rushed over like lightning and kicked him down on the ground. ground, dragged out of the team.

Not only Old Potter, but a total of nine farmers couldn't hold back. They asked or discussed with the people next to them, but they were all dragged out.

Apparently, from the very beginning, the guards, who had never yelled at them and behaved relatively friendly and peaceful, made the farmers forget the responsibilities and abilities of these people for a while.

If the guards were a little slower, it is estimated that there would be a few more farmers who violated the regulations and discussed in private.

The nine farmers were pinned down on the ground, trembling, and all kinds of legends about Keos Li, the former young master and now the master, flooded their minds involuntarily.

Keos stood beside Harvey, looking with his hands behind his back, his eyes squinted, his face expressionless.

Soon those farmers who raised their hands were called out and formed a new team.

Harvey walked up to the team again and read a simple arithmetic problem. This time more than [-]% of them raised their hands. After all, these people have been in the cultural training class for a long time, and Qi Weiyu is naturally included. .

Now he is vaguely guessing that the master wants to turn them to stewards and servants?
But if this is the case, there is no need to engage in such a big battle, right?

Even the master came out in person.

Qi Weiyu, who was making various conjectures, was called into a room together with a dozen other companions.

This time, each of them sat at a table with a piece of paper in front of them. There were two simple questions on it, but they were different from the questions in those training classes outside. These two questions were based on actual application scenarios. Designed, although the knowledge used is not difficult, but it belongs to the kind that needs to be used flexibly.

It's just that the background set in this topic made Qi Weiyu suspicious.

The sound of whipping and screams sounded outside the house. Obviously, those farmers who violated the regulations were being whipped.

When they finished the questions and walked out of the house, they found that the farmers who had been whipped had returned to the team. Although they looked miserable, a little weak, and there were bloodstains on their backs, they were still standing. Obviously, the amount of whipping Not many, and no real kills.

Qi Weiyu noticed that the silver-armored guard who had just received their test papers left the room behind them and handed them all to the master.

Those questions... Could it be that the master asked them?

Qi Weiyu's attention was always on the master, and he quickly flipped through the test papers, occasionally staying for a few seconds longer, and then turned around and walked into another room after reading the test papers. The tall female guard followed closely behind.

A few seconds later, the female guard came out of the room and said loudly: "Whoever reads the name, come into the room."

Qi Weiyu's heart suddenly rose to his throat. To be honest, he still doesn't understand what the master is going to do to gather them here, what is the new job he is going to provide them, and what is the simple test just now? for what.

But he has an intuition that this may be his biggest chance to change his life.

"Qi Weiyu."

The first name that came to mind was him, and Qi Weiyu quickly walked out from where he was standing like an arrow leaving the string.

If it wasn't for fear of causing misunderstanding, he even wanted to run away.

Standing at the door of the room, Qi Weiyu took a deep breath, adjusted his clothes a little, and then opened the door and entered.

After entering the door, Qi Weiyu looked at Kaios who was sitting behind a table, leaning on a chair in a very casual posture, Qi Weiyu hurriedly bowed and saluted: "Master."

"Well, sit down." Kaios tapped the chair on the other side of the table with his chin.

Qi Weiyu originally wanted to say that she doesn't need to sit, but just stand, but thinking of what the guard said before...

"Just listen to the command of the master."

So he answered yes, and sat upright on the chair.

"I read your information. When you were in the talent test, you were only a little bit short, and you were able to be selected into the training camp to practice spiritual energy."

Qi Weiyu bowed his head and said: "It's almost still worse, there's no way."

"However, judging from the way you answered the questions, you should have spent a lot of time in the training class?" Keos said, tapping the test paper on the table with his finger.

"I don't have anything else to do in the territory. I prefer to read books, so I spend more time in the training class. When I'm not working now, when I go back to the settlement, I will go to the training class to borrow a few books."

"In this case, you should be able to read characters. Then take a look, do you know what this is?"

Keos said, pushing a thick, dark gray paper over.

Qi Weiyu looked down, and the first thing that caught his eyes was the sign of Shengyou Palace, and then the magic words "soul subordination contract". His eyes widened, and he held his breath, a little unbelievable.

"Sir, what do you mean..."

"Are you willing to be my contract servant?"

……

When he came out of the room, Qi Weiyu had a strong sense of unreality.

Now he actually became the master's contracted servant? !
From a farmer who was about to lose his job as a master to a vassal who might be downgraded, he suddenly became a contracted servant of the lord. This leap was so fast that he couldn't react.

Even before entering the house, he had a vague intuition that this was an opportunity for him to reverse his fate, but he never expected that his identity would undergo such a huge change as soon as he entered and exited.

Walking back to the team, seeing the next farmer whose name was called, he felt a little nervous, and kept looking at his farmer, Qi Weiyu nodded slightly, giving him a reassuring look.

In Qi Weiyu's mind, he was still thinking about the question that the master asked him after he established the soul subordination contract with him.

"What do you think is the most powerful force in this world?"
