my pokemon player.

Ryan's powerful voice echoed in the study.

When White saw the confidence written all over his lord's face, he knew that Ryan had gained a lot from this trip and the strength of the territory had been greatly improved.

Although he didn't know what the specific gains were, it was able to make Ryan say something that made the nobles feel fear.

But since Ryan became the lord, he has never made any big promises and has always kept his word.

In that case, he has nothing to worry about and just needs to follow Ryan's arrangements.

So White said softly: "I understand. We will welcome them with the normal ceremony for welcoming nobles. There is no need to hide our strength."

Ryan nodded slightly: "Yes, if they are only here to distribute rewards, then we will accept it politely. If they come with bad intentions, we don't have to treat them well."

"I'll leave the specific welcoming ceremony to you. You know I'm not very interested in aristocratic etiquette."

"As for the welcome ceremony, I have only one request, and that is that we must not lose face for our territory."

White leaned forward and responded: "As you command!"

Ryan's meaning was simple. When welcoming the king's envoy and the marquis's daughter, one must neither be servile nor give the other party an opportunity to accuse him of being impolite.

It seems that I have to go to Butler Anderson to consult some issues. This old butler with a conservative personality knows aristocratic etiquette very well.

In addition, you can also ask the visitors from the divine world for help.

Unlike Butler Anderson who hated players' lack of etiquette, White was becoming more and more fond of these helpful visitors from the divine world.

Although they act strangely and often say weird things, they really do their work!

As long as you pay some rewards, you can let them complete a variety of tasks.

Moreover, they are very efficient in completing tasks and there is almost no task that cannot be completed.

Therefore, Knight Commander Moni of the Temple of Poseidon and the directors of the Chamber of Commerce all like them very much.

The former would trick them into believing in Poseidon, and the latter would ask indirectly during the transaction if they could take away some more beast masters. The agency fee would definitely not disappoint White.

For White, these visitors from the divine realm were very easy to use and greatly alleviated his pressure in handling government affairs.

Unconsciously, White developed the habit of looking for visitors from the divine world whenever he had a mission.

The visitors from the divine realm have completed the previous tasks well, so I believe this welcome ceremony will not be difficult for them.

Well, let’s do it this way. We’ll go back to the mission office and assign tasks to them.

Ryan didn't know that White was planning to let the players participate in the welcome ceremony. If he knew, he would definitely stop it.

Others don’t understand players, but he does.

Ordinary tasks can certainly be assigned to players, and they will find ways to complete them, even at the cost of their lives.

But as long as the task involves rituals and activities, these imaginative players will definitely come up with something fancy.

After all, they dared to name the aircraft carrier Pipi Shrimp, so what else would they not dare to do?

It’s a pity that out of trust in White, Ryan gave full authority to the welcome ceremony to White and didn’t even ask about White’s plans.

What he was thinking about now was that the update announcement would have to be postponed again, as it was not suitable to summon new players during the messenger's visit.

This is a good opportunity to let Xiao Luo shoot a promotional video during this time.

The last promotional video was very effective, so this time he wanted to make a more exciting one to expand the influence of "Pokémon World" and increase the number of players who made reservations.

In this way, he can select the best of the best and choose high-quality beta test players.

“I don’t know how much footage Xiao Luo shot and whether he can edit it into a promotional video.”

"The battle scene between Mewtwo and Celebi was quite exciting, but that night Luo was being studied by Professor Oak, so it was not filmed."

"How about waiting for Celebi to come back and letting it fight Mewtwo again?"

"Forget it, let's deal with the messenger first."

Ryan shook his head, stopped thinking about it, and began to ask White about the details of the territory.

As a lord, he can be a hands-off manager, but at least he has to be in control of the overall situation of the territory.

". Overall, our process of taking over new towns has been relatively smooth. Most of the knights in these towns have witnessed your invincibility on the battlefield."

“So even though they were reluctant about the policy of handing over the fiefdom, they still returned the fiefdom obediently.”

"According to your instructions, Baron Williams rewarded the knight family that first handed over the fiefdom, and also retained their knighthood."

"All the remaining knights will stay in the team for inspection. If they fail the assessment, they will be kicked out of the knight team and their knighthood will be stripped."

White reported to Ryan in an orderly manner on the situation of four new towns including Feiyu Town.

After listening to this, Ryan nodded with satisfaction, and then asked:
"Those knights and their families are not making any small moves, right?"

White shook his head. "No, maybe they heard about the fate of the rebellious knights in Ironthorn Town, so they acted very cooperatively and didn't even dare to hold a family gathering."

"Hmph, they're smart." Ryan snorted coldly, then asked, "What is the attitude of the residents of these towns towards us?"

White replied, "Needless to say, Feather Town welcomes us very much. The residents of Silver Leaf Town are a little afraid of us, but under Baron Karlov's personal example and management, they are gradually able to treat us with a normal attitude."

"The residents of Wetlands Town have been oppressed by the nobles for many years, and their mentality has long been numb. They don't care who is managing them."

"Fortunately, Knight Commander Torre is quite capable. He executed a number of evil nobles with lightning speed and abolished some unreasonable policies, which rekindled hope for the residents of Wetland Town and won the support of many people."

When Ryan heard this, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise slightly:
"Oh? This Knight Commander Torre is both civil and military, no wonder he is valued and trusted by Soto. It seems that I have gained another talent under my command."

Ryan was not afraid of Torre's efforts to win the hearts of the people.

On the contrary, he was happy to see Torre display his abilities.

In this era when the spirit of chivalry has not yet completely decayed, Ryan is not afraid of Torre's rebellion at all.

Before his death, Baron Soto entrusted his family to Torre. As long as Ryan can ensure the continuation of the Soto family bloodline, Torre will not rebel.

Of course, the prerequisite for preserving the Soto family bloodline is that they behave like mascots like Baron Lancaster.

If they had any other ideas, Ryan would get rid of them without hesitation, and even Torre would not say much.

Therefore, Torre could only repeatedly warn the Soto family not to think about revenge, otherwise he would not be able to protect them. "Knight Commander Torre's management ability is indeed outstanding. If it weren't for his high level of combat, I would have wanted to bring him with me and train him to be the next secretary of Firefly Town.

White also praised Torre repeatedly. He felt that the other party was very similar to himself. Both were comprehensive knights who could fight on horseback and manage the territory when they dismounted.

It's a pity that the next Knight Commander of Firefly Town has already been selected, and it would be a waste of talent to let Torre be the secretary, so White had to give up the idea of ​​training Torre.

Ryan saw the regretful look on White's face and said with a smile:

"Since Torrey is doing well in Wetland Town, don't try to get close to him. I brought you a good candidate."

"Are you talking about the boy named York?" White asked back.

"Yeah, he didn't perform well?"

"No, York's performance is OK. Although he doesn't have much knowledge, his way of dealing with people is mature and his learning ability is also strong."

Ryan leaned back in his chair and said calmly:
"You think highly of him, so let's train him as the next secretary. He can help you share some of the pressure."

"But isn't he a hostage sent by the undercover agent from Guanhai City? Can we really trust him?" White asked hesitantly.

Ryan smiled calmly: "When did I say he was a hostage? It was those guards who said so themselves."

"I felt that this kid had potential, and I didn't want to bury his talent, so I brought him back."

"So you can rest assured to train York, I believe he will not let you down."

White nodded gently: "I understand. York is thoughtful and may have noticed my distrust of him. I will find a chance to have a frank talk with him."

"Well, I trust you to do your job." Ryan said, then changed the subject: "By the way, you haven't told me about the situation in Wudou Town. I heard that the residents there are warlike and aggressive, and not easy to manage."

White smiled bitterly and said, "You are right. The residents of Wudou Town value strength, and the Swamp King Knights of Wetland Town cannot convince them."

"There have been a lot of conflicts and disputes between the residents of Wudou Town and the Wetland Knights these days, and they haven't settled down yet."

"I was thinking whether I should ask Baron Karlov to go back and persuade the residents of Wudou Town."

Ryan frowned: "Baron Karlov still has to stay in Silver Leaf Town. He has finally gained the trust of the residents of Silver Leaf Town and cannot leave easily."

"Tsk, what's the knight commander of Wetland Town doing? Fighting Town is obviously the easiest town to manage. All he needs to do is show his strength, but he messed it up for me. What a loser!"

"Pass the order down, dismiss the Knight Commander of the Swamp King Knights, but keep his title temporarily and let him be an ordinary knight. If he fails the next knight assessment, he won't have to be a knight anymore!"

White nodded in agreement, then asked, "The Knights must have a Knight Commander, and Fighting Town also needs a manager. Who do you think is suitable?"

Ryan thought for a moment, and suddenly his eyes lit up: "Where is Captain Watson whom I brought back? He is quite powerful, enough to intimidate the residents of Wudou Town."

White responded: "Watson is still in Firefly Town, but he is busy trying to incite Lucari's guards to rebel. He probably wants to gain everyone's recognition by making contributions."

Ryan raised his eyebrows when he heard this, and asked with interest:
"Inciting the guards to rebel? He's quite courageous. Didn't the guards catch him and claim the reward?"

White said: "Watson was very smart. He did not reveal his identity right away. Instead, he waited until the guards expressed their dissatisfaction with the Chamber of Commerce before talking about us."

"He always boasts about our strength, so the guards in Lucari naturally don't dare to offend him. Moreover, those guards have long been resentful of the Chamber of Commerce, so he has successfully instigated many guards to rebel in the past few days."

"Watson came back to Firefly Town this time to ask me for some Poké Balls, even if they were cone-shaped Poké Balls. He planned to use these Poké Balls as bargaining chips for his rebellion."

"I think this is a good idea. I plan to give him some cone-shaped Poké Balls."

After hearing White's answer, Ryan continued to ask:

"How did Watson know about the cone-shaped Poké Ball? Could it be that Ironthorn Town is already able to produce the cone-shaped Poké Balls needed by the militia?"

White nodded and said, "Yes, although the blacksmiths' production efficiency has increased slowly, after these days of accumulation, the Poké Balls produced are enough to equip the militia of Firefly Town."

"It was because Watson saw the Poké Balls in the hands of the militia that he wanted to use them to persuade the guards."

When Ryan learned that each member of the militia would have a Poké Ball, he was very satisfied. His plan to become a national trainer took another big step forward.

"Since Watson is confident, then give him some Poké Balls. But there's no need to give him the fruit-shaped Poké Balls. We're not as stingy as the Merchants Association. Let's just give him the normal Poké Balls."

When White heard this, he was about to dissuade him, but he saw a meaningful smile on Ryan's lips.

He suddenly remembered that the ordinary version of the Poké Ball could be controlled by Ryan. As long as Lucari's guards collected the Poké Balls, their Pokémon would be controlled by Ryan.

Even if they regret it then, they will not have the power to stop Ryan.

Thinking of this, White said sincerely: "I understand. You are very thoughtful."

Ryan's smile remained unchanged: "There's nothing I can do. I have to be on guard against others. Guards are not knights, so they don't have to abide by the spirit of chivalry."

"If they can betray the Chamber of Commerce, they may betray us. We still have to be on guard."

"But as long as they are sincere in their loyalty, I will not treat them unfairly. You can tell Watson this without any change."

"By the way, tell him that if he can persuade more than half of Lucari's guards to rebel, I will appoint him as the Knight Commander of the Swamp King Knights and send him to manage the Fighting Town."

White leaned forward again and said, "Yes, sir. Do you have any other instructions?"

"No, I'm not in the territory these days. Thank you for your hard work, Uncle White."

Ryan said sincerely that if White had not been in charge, he would not dare to leave the territory for such a long time.

White said in a gentle voice: "It's my duty, not hard work. It's you running around all day for the territory that's the real hard work."

"If Master Nord knew how hard you worked for the territory, he would definitely be both pleased and distressed."

Ryan recalled his previous incarnation's impression of Nord in his mind and said with a smile:

"He doesn't feel sorry for me, he just brags about giving birth to a good son."

White remained silent when he heard this, because he knew that Nord could really say such a thing.

"Okay, go ahead and do your work. I won't disturb you from working."

"Ok."

Looking at White's departing back, Ryan murmured to himself:

"I don't know if it's because of the influence of my previous life, but every time I talk about that cheap father, my heart is touched."

"I hope you can be safe and sound, and avoid the orphan law of the time traveler." (End of this chapter)
