Chapter 203 You’re going to use this to test the lord, right?

After Ryan was rejected by Noz, he no longer had any intention of recruiting him. In fact, before recruiting Noz, he was mentally prepared to be rejected.

Most of the knights in this era were very loyal. They would not betray easily after swearing allegiance to their lords. They would either die in battle or be captured and wait for the lord to redeem them.

A knight who easily betrays his lord will not only be spurned by the nobles and lose the trust of other lords, but will also bring shame to the entire family. It will be difficult for anyone in his family to be canonized as a knight in the future, which is equivalent to becoming a lord. their blacklist.

Therefore, knights will not switch to other lords casually. Unless their lord is unwilling to pay the ransom, violates the lord's obligations, or unilaterally terminates their oath of allegiance, the knights will consider swearing allegiance to other lords.

Just like Knight Commander Seiler, if Baron Lancaster had not first broken the oath between them and begged him with his eyes, he would not have sworn allegiance to Ryan so simply.

The knight's loyalty is one of the few shining points in this era. When Bach's life or death is uncertain, it is normal for Noz not to surrender to him.

Even if Bach was captured in the end, judging from how much Bach hated Lane, he would not break his oath and make Noz loyal to Lane, so Lane gave up the idea of ​​recruiting Noz to surrender.

"Since you are unwilling to be loyal to me, I will not force you. However, Iron Thorn Town is not yet stable. The militiamen alone are not enough to appease the people. You also need to show your face in front of them."

"You said before that as long as I can spare the dragon-headed gopher, you will help me occupy Ironthorn Town, but now you have seen that without your help, Ironthorn Town surrendered and our conditions were invalid. The only choice is to change it to one that stabilizes the people of Ironthorn Town."

Ryan said to Noz.

"Okay, I can help you, but please don't forget your promise."

Notz agreed to Ryan, and he did not want unrest in his hometown.

"Don't worry, you've seen how I treat Pokémon. I won't hurt the dragon-headed gopher. Of course, I won't use it to force you to surrender. When the situation stabilizes, you can serve Baron Bach. Totally loyal.”

After Ryan finished speaking, he directly asked the militiamen to escort him to the prison without looking at Noz's reaction.

"Let's go and have a look at the castle in Ironthorn Town."

Ryan brought Tian Wu Ni and Gardevoir to the castle in Ironthorn Town.

The income of Ironthorn Town is higher than that of Yinghuo Town, and the castle is naturally built more magnificently and luxuriously. Compared with the Castle of Ironthorn Town, the castle of Yinghuo Town is like a small fortress.

Seeing this, Ryan couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

It seems that my cheap father really doesn't know how to make money. Not only is he living a tight life, but he has not even built a castle to show the dignity of the noble family.

He thought that the baron's castles were all so small, but it turned out that his own castle was small, and it was built with borrowed money. It really embarrassed the nobles.

However, Ryan has no requirements for where to live. He could live in a rental house as small as that in his previous life. No matter how small the castle in Yinghuo Town is, it is still a castle, and it is much better than a rental house.

Besides, no matter how well-built the castle in Ironthorn Town is, what's the point of it, it's just making yourself easier.

This means that my neighbor collects grain and I store guns. My neighbor is my granary. Your castle is well built, but now it belongs to me!

Ryan looked at the environment of the castle and nodded with satisfaction. In the future, he can visit Ironthorn Town from time to time and try out what it feels like to live in a big castle.

He has no intention of rebuilding the Yinghuo Town Castle. With that kind of money, he might as well develop the territory. Moreover, if you want to live in a luxurious castle, Guanhai City has it ready.

I heard that the Viscount Castle in Guanhai City was built magnificently, and those businessmen were quite willing to spend money in order to corrupt the lords of Guanhai City.

Although the scale does not exceed the limit of the viscount's castle and is smaller than the count's and duke's castles, the decoration inside is extremely luxurious and there are many various facilities. All the nobles who have been there praise it, and even the duke feels that his own The castle is far inferior to this Viscount Castle.

And this is also the reason why the merchants built the castle so magnificently. On the one hand, it is to corrupt the lords, make them happy and uninterested in political affairs, so that they can take advantage of them.

On the other hand, it also shows other nobles the benefits of cooperating with them. Their merchants have nothing but plenty of gold coins. As long as you cooperate with them, you can also own such a castle.

Nobles are naturally good-looking and love luxury. The merchant's move just scratches their itch. They also know that there is a risk of being sidelined when cooperating with the merchant, but there are still nobles who can't resist the temptation and try to cooperate with the merchant.

Although it is only an initial cooperation, the goals of the businessmen have been achieved. As long as the nobles are willing to accept their investment, they will have the confidence to corrupt these nobles with money, and then slowly draw the nobles to the Mutual Chamber of Commerce.

Ryan knew very well that Baron Bach was the first nobleman to join the Chamber of Commerce, but he was by no means the last. The merchants could not have only extended invitations to Bach and him.

They will also send invitations to other nobles, and maybe some nobles will join the Chamber of Commerce now.

Therefore, if Ryan really wants to occupy Guanhai City, he must prepare in advance. He will not only face the enemy Guanhai City, but also other nobles.

"Forget it, I don't want to think about it that much. Ironthorn Town and Rose Town haven't digested it yet. I'm really getting carried away by wanting to occupy Guanhai City right here."

Ryan shook his head and thought no more. He asked the militia to call the players who were still wandering around the city looking for hidden tasks, and then said to them:
"This war is basically over. We have achieved a glorious victory. This victory cannot be achieved without the help of all trainers. You have not let me down. I will also keep my promise and issue rewards to you."

As soon as Ryan finished speaking, the players immediately cheered, and then discussed with each other how many rewards they could get this time.

"Quiet! I know you are very excited now and want to get the rewards immediately, but Xiao Luo also needs some time to count the contributions, not to mention it is getting late, so I plan to return to Yinghuo Town and then distribute them to you. award."

"I will hold a celebration banquet in Yinghuo Town for all residents of Yinghuo Town to attend, and then I will distribute rewards to you in front of them and canonize you as honorary knights!"

When the players heard Ryan saying that the rewards would be distributed later, they felt a little disappointed.

Then they heard Ryan say that he would hold a celebration banquet for them and give them rewards in front of all the people in the territory. The players were no longer disappointed and began to howl excitedly one by one.

What they want from playing games is this sense of accomplishment. It is exciting to think about the scene of receiving achievements and rewards in front of so many people and receiving cheers from the people.

Although they know that the citizens are all NPCs, this is a game that simulates 100% reality. The NPCs are no different from real people and can give them the same feeling as the real world.

Not to mention that there are players who can be canonized as honorary knights by Lord Lane. Being awarded a title for merit is a dream that every man has had. Now he finally has the opportunity to realize this dream. Unfortunately, this honor is not his own.

Thinking of this, the players all looked at Chen Yan and Zongliang Guoba with envy and hatred. Among all the players, these two are the only ones who have the chance to be sealed. They really deserve to die!

Chen Yan and the two also noticed the eyes of other players. They were naturally very excited, but at the same time a little nervous and worried. Lord Ryan did not say that he would confer several honorary knights. If he only conferred one, then he would probably be happy in vain. field.

Especially for the rice cracker, he felt that his contribution could not compare with Chen Yan. If there was only one honorary knight, it would most likely be Chen Yan's, and the possibility of him being awarded the title was very small.

Unless he catches the escaping Baron Bach before he is granted the title.

Therefore, Zongliang Guoba plans to run into the Liuying Forest as soon as he goes online tomorrow. He must catch Baron Bach!
Ryan did not stop the players from cheering this time. He originally wanted to mobilize the players' emotions. Only by giving them positive feedback and satisfying the players' spiritual needs can they work harder for him in the future.

Although he was not a game planner in his previous life, he was still an old player. He knew what the players wanted, and he also knew how to make the players willingly be ripped off by him. Ahem, in short, as long as the players are happy, Ryan is working hard to create happiness~
After the players calmed down, Ryan asked them to log off in the castle room and return to Firefly Town with him tomorrow.

"Knight Commander Seiler, I leave the night patrol work to you. You lead the knights and militia to patrol the streets to prevent accidents."

Ryan ordered Sailor.

"I obey, how many knights do you need to defend the castle?" "Now that there is a shortage of manpower, the castle does not need to send knights to garrison. It is enough for me to be here alone. You and the knights will keep an eye on the families of the knights in Ironthorn Town." , especially the families who received the corpses, I'm afraid they might do something bad if their minds get hot."

There are also some knights in Ironthorn Town who joined the Cavaliers because of the honor of their fathers. Among their elders are knights who have retired long ago. Although these old knights are old, they are not without their ability to fight.

After all, some old knights still have Pokémon around them. Although those Pokémon are old and injured, Bach did not take them back, but for ordinary people, those Pokémon are still deadly and can easily cause turmoil.

"This subordinate has difficulty obeying my order. Your safety is the most important thing. I'd better leave a few knights behind."

Sailer said with an uneasy look. In fact, he didn't understand why the so-called trainers brought by Ryan went to rest and sleep at night. Don't they know that the first night of occupying the town is the most dangerous?

Why are they all so big-hearted? The lord doesn't care about them.

If the players knew what Sailer was thinking at this time, they would definitely complain loudly:
"The lord asked us to rest at night. We wanted to play all day, but Lord Ryan wouldn't let us!"

Ryan shook his head and said:

"No need. You have seen my strength in Rose Town. Ordinary Xiaoxiao is no match for me. If you leave the knights behind, I have to focus on protecting them. It's better for me to be alone in the castle."

After hearing this, Sailer also felt that what Ryan said was reasonable. With Ryan's strength, if he really ran into trouble, the remaining knights would also be a drag.

"My subordinates understand. I will lead a patrol right away."

"Well, thank you for your hard work."

After Sailer left, only Ryan and some servants were left in the huge castle, and yes, there were also the captured Bach family members.

Lane still had some aristocratic manners, and instead of letting Mrs. Bach and her children live in prison, he took them to the castle.

"Mrs. Bach, it's getting late. You can take your children and find a room to rest. You should be more familiar with this castle than me, so you don't need me to lead the way. As for how to deal with you, let's wait until tomorrow."

Ryan turned to the frightened Mrs. Bach beside him and said.

When Mrs. Bach heard this, she immediately begged Ryan pitifully: "Sir, please let my child go, he still..."

"I told you, let's talk tomorrow!"

Ryan frowned and interrupted Mrs. Bach's plea.

"Yes~"

Mrs. Bach responded aggrievedly, she did not dare to anger Ryan now.

Ryan waved his hand and asked the servant to lead him to the study. He still had rewards to draw.

Mrs. Bach looked at Ryan's leaving back and couldn't help but bite her red lips with her silver teeth.

She can't figure out Ryan's attitude towards the mother and son now, and she doesn't know what Ryan will do with them tomorrow.

This feeling of not being able to control one's own destiny is very uncomfortable. It's all her fault for that incompetent man. Not only has the territory been lost, but he can't even keep his wife and children.

It seemed that she could only rely on her to protect herself and her children. Mrs. Bach's eyes gradually became firm, and she said calmly to the maid beside her:

"The young master is tired. Please take him to the bedroom to rest first, and then come and take a bath for me."

As the previous mistress of the castle, Mrs. Bach could still order these servants.

"Yes."

The maid took away the young master who had fallen asleep in Mrs. Bach's arms, and then led Mrs. Bach to the bathroom.

At this time, Ryan didn't know that Mrs. Bach had "evil intentions" towards him. He came to the study, glanced around, and found that there were many books in the study.

This is a bit strange. Baron Bach doesn't seem to like reading.

Ryan casually pulled out a book and read it. It was said to be a book, but in fact it was more like an animal skin scroll. It recorded some customs and customs in other areas of the Arad Kingdom, as well as rumors about Pokémon.

Most of these rumors are unclear and more like fabrications. Anyway, Ryan has not found the Pokémon corresponding to the rumors.

However, it is good to read this rumor as a novel story. It is quite interesting to read. Before he knew it, Ryan had finished reading the book.

"This animal skin roll can't carry much text, and it's far inferior to paper."

Ryan said without finishing it, he could feel that there was still something to write in this book, but due to the animal skin scroll, he could only finish it in a hurry.

"No, I'm here to draw a lottery. Why are you reading a book!"

Ryan suddenly remembered the purpose of coming to the study. He put the animal skin scroll back on the bookshelf, then sat down at the desk to prepare for the lottery.

"What a mistake. I should have shaken Xiyue's hand before she went offline to rub her good luck in."

Ryan said angrily. He struggled for a while and finally decided to draw tonight. This is an intermediate and advanced draw. No matter how bad the rewards are, how can they be worse?

He touched Tian Wu Ni who had fallen asleep, hoping to lend her some good luck.

"God bless Arceus, you don't want me to start messing around because I didn't get a good reward, give it to me."

"Dong Dong~"

Just as Ryan was about to draw the prize, he was interrupted by a knock on the door.

"Who?"

Ryan said impatiently. Just as he felt like he was about to win a big prize, he was suddenly interrupted, which made him feel very unhappy.

"Sir, it's me." A soft voice came from outside the door.

Mrs. Bach?Why did she come to find him?Want to plead with yourself again?Didn’t I say we’d talk about it tomorrow?

Ryan opened the door and wanted to drive Mrs. Bach away, but as soon as he opened the door, he was stunned.

what does this mean?
You use this to test the lord, right? !
