In the Age of Heroes, I am a background noble

Rimuru blinked. This was an unexpected development.

"To be exact, it's (my vassal, a disguised name) called Rimuru Medici, and he's in the area near (the passageway)."

)爸

Like Doraemon, Green took out a parchment map from his four-dimensional trouser pocket and unfolded it, which turned out to be a map of Medici Territory, which roughly depicted the location of various iconic areas.

He pointed to the mountain range called the Sky Mountains, which was the largest mountain range separating the Medici Territory and the Demihuman Plains, and the previous tunnel was also under this mountain range.

The passage runs through the mountains, connecting to Gushan County in the south and the woods near the mountains in the Asian Plains in the north, called Jula.

The fiefdom given to the cute king is a piece of land at the exit of the passage, which is about the size of three or four knight territories. A knight territories is a territory with a population of about two to three hundred households.

He planned to nominally enthrone the Cute King as his legal vassal, and in the future support the expansion of the Cute King's forces in the Demihuman Plains as a tentacles for the expansion of his own family.

Moreover, Green was very thoughtful and gave Rimuru a new surname, Medici. If the cute king dies one day, it is estimated that only Green's descendants will inherit this territory.

"To the south of the passage, I will give you a piece of land the size of a barony, and to the north is the Great Jura Forest, where you can expand your influence later."

"And I will provide you with relevant support, such as food, weapons, building materials, craftsmen, and so on."

Green pointed at the map and said generously.

What he didn't know was that Rimuru was now a little surprised that the Great Sage Canque actually acknowledged this surname!

Generally speaking, only higher-level monsters have the ability to bestow surnames on lower-level monsters, while lower-level monsters may evolve by receiving the energy gift from higher-level monsters.

Although his body has not evolved yet, it is very strange that as a human being he can give himself a surname and be recognized by the great sage.

Could it be that Green is not just an ordinary human being?

"But why is it so difficult to become a noble?"

"You shouldn't be so kind."

Rimuru knew that becoming an aristocrat was very troublesome. (Fourth possibility) It was a matter of national culture and customs. She had not yet considered the idea of ​​using her power to break the rules and become a noble herself.

"I realize you've misunderstood me so deeply. Okay, actually, you have this value."

Green felt that his reputation should be changed, so he responded to the gust of cold wind. He felt a little cold and it was time to go back.

He turned and prepared to walk out of the alley, and Rimuru subconsciously followed him.

"Human expansion will cause a backlash from the demihumans, but if you are the chief of a demihuman tribe led by monsters, it will be different. You will not face greater resistance."

"There are also examples of monsters serving as tribal chieftains among demihumans. From a profit perspective, I can also use the territory to facilitate trade between demihumans and humans, such as selling luxury goods first."

He has long wanted to exchange a few pieces of cloth for a sheep or something!

Furthermore, Green also wanted to secretly sell weapons to those exploited lower races, and the conflicts between the demihumans were also very deep.

"So this is all for profit? You're really only thinking about yourself.

Chapter 129 The Cute King Chooses to Seize the Future

Things went smoothly.

With no casualties on either side, and with both leaders deciding to reconcile, and Rimuru even becoming a high-ranking figure in the Medici Territory to a certain extent, the acceptance of Rimuru's forces was quickly carried out.

From then on, the Medici family had a new person named Rimuru Medici, who was the first nobleman to be canonized by the family. This made many people wonder about his background.

Rimuru's affairs are confidential, so many people are dissatisfied with this. They also want to become nobles!

Those who have made contributions to the Medici family have the possibility of becoming nobles. Theoretically, if a person accumulates 800 subhuman heads, he can become the lowest level of knight nobles, but at present, many officers are still working hard.

Therefore, dissatisfaction is normal.

However, when they hurriedly looked for people to get inside information, such as where Rimuru's territory was, their expressions became a little strange. Most of the territory was on the demihuman side, and the Medici Lords naturally had no actual control over the demihumans.

The territory is very large on the map. The Great Jura Forest is Rimuru's territory, covering an area of ​​half a county.

But isn't this a joke? Demi-humans aren't fools!

Then Medici issued a new decree, shocking everyone that the Count was serious!

The new decree stipulates that in addition to humans, new races such as ghosts and trolls can become members of the Medici Territory, and a certain number of human families will be transferred to settle in the Jura Forest.

Because his subordinates were not well educated, Green used new concepts to deal with the two main components of Rimuru's forces as a precaution.

Otherwise, if you really want to make it a point, all of Rimuru's men will have to die, including Rimuru. They all have to die. But then wouldn't your purpose be in vain?

He naturally tried his best to spread the news to the people in the territory.

The concept.

Ghost man?

What it is?

Most people were puzzled, thinking it was something similar to an elf, so they didn't react much. Although it looked similar to a demihuman, it didn't matter.

Essentially, Green's soldiers were recruited by other nobles after the army that fought against the subhumans was disbanded. Most of them were from the southern region and did not have a deep understanding of the subhumans.

Whatever the Earl says is what it is?

Of course, there are also reports that many people noticed something was wrong. After all, the characteristics of ghosts and trolls are very obvious, but considering that they had never seen them before and had no hatred, they just endured it.

Of course, there are also quite a number of people with extreme nationalism. Among them, the most radical and influential military officers directly reported their firm attitude to their superiors. As a result, they were directly transferred from their posts and sent to other counties to open up new territories and do some easier work.

For example, jobs like guarding a reservoir or looking after a park may even pay better than before and the work may be much easier.

But for these soldiers and officers who have been fighting on the front lines for a long time, this is undoubtedly the most difficult thing to accept.

After this, the others realized how much importance the higher-ups attached to the current situation, so they all pretended nothing had happened.

Under the will of the Earl, like a poisonous snake in a swamp, it began to take root in the demihuman territory without anyone knowing.

Half a month later

At the northern exit of the passage is the vast Jura Forest, and Rimuru's previous territory is also there, which is about the size of a medium-sized village. According to statistics, there are about 100 trolls, more than 50 big demons, which are the evolved version of the big demons, and less than 10 demons.

However, Green soon transferred in more humans to supplement the population, and the number reached more than 400 people, which could barely be considered a large village.

Of course, this population is still too small. Later, Green will continue to recruit wandering small groups of demons in the name of Rimuru. According to the demon Bailao, the big demon tribe in the north lost its territory for some reasons and is now fleeing to the south.

Later, the Jura Forest will accept this part of the population, and with the help of materials from the Medici Territory, a city will be gradually built in the Jura Forest. This is the current plan.

The sight shifted to the entrance of the passage, where mule carts were transporting goods to the Jola Forest. The person in charge of transporting the goods was a red-haired man wearing samurai armor and a samurai sword on his waist.

He would occasionally hold a piece of dogtail grass in his mouth and look around, looking very energetic. Following him were one or two hundred armored soldiers guarding the cave entrance to prevent any accidents.

"Be careful, brothers!!"

"As long as we finish this batch of food, our mission will be complete! The boss said there's wine tonight when we get home!!!"

After hearing this, the soldiers felt a little more refreshed, but it was easy to feel sleepy in this cold winter.

“Oh oh oh!

It was Klein, the player recruited in SAO. He was the first player to become an officer in the Medici Territory who could lead troops, although the number of troops was only a few dozen.

At this moment, the Earl was sitting on a rattan chair at the entrance of the cave, watching this scene silently. Beside him was the yawning Gray Wolf, who missed his goblin can.

Soon, today's supplies were transported and Klein came to report after counting the goods.

"Hey! Lord Green, the supplies have been transported. Do you have any further instructions?"

no problem.

"Well, you've done a great job. From now on, you'll be in charge of transporting supplies back and forth. I think your name is Klein, right?"

Green looked at the red-haired man who was touching his head and grinning, and nodded silently. This guy was quite useful.

"Hahaha, Lord Green actually remembers my name? Hahaha, yes, I am Klein.

The red-haired man touched his beard in surprise. Did I really get the attention of the upper class?

He has been feeling rather proud of himself lately. Among all the SAO players, he is the first one who can actually lead troops. Compared to those players who have to help those grumpy officers handle government affairs every day, this is simply too good!

The coolest thing is that Lord Medici is going to assign demi-human maids to the middle and upper-level officers in the territory!

Kerlain, who was in charge of a group of elite armored soldiers, was considered a mid-level officer, and therefore was assigned a white-haired, cat-eared maid.

To be honest, other male players are so envious!

Chapter 130 The Cute King Chooses to Seize the Future

It’s true. Why are everyone’s eyes red with jealousy?

Maid! They want it too?

For time travelers who have seen modern developed productivity, they may disdain if you give them food and drink, but if you give them bunny girls, cat-eared maids, etc., they must kneel down and call you daddy, right?

The interesting thing is that there are actually female players who, through Asuna's relationship, asked Green if the territory could train some male servants? And they even gave some settings about male servants, which were all private jobs.

And the great Earl said.

you can!

Both!

Damn it, you can have as many as you want!

Men can have maids, women can have male servants, men can have male servants, women can have female servants!! He can even find a superposition of hyena servants!

As long as you work hard, the Medici Territory can let everyone live a wonderful life in another world! We can satisfy your evil fantasies!

The effect was immediate. Players who had originally wanted to just give up and live a lazy life began to work hard, striving to be promoted to full-time positions one after another!

Because Klein really has to eat it? This guy didn't even have a girlfriend before he traveled through time, but after traveling through time, he got a beautiful cat-eared maid!

In this alien world without such constraints, this group of time travelers have the ability to realize things that they once dared not think about.

Klein was one of them. When he found out he had a cat-eared maid, his face almost broke with laughter. He had originally only regarded the Earl as an important NPC, but his heart had quietly changed.

Klein's favorability increased by 90+

No special talents detected

No reward

Green noticed that his favorability had increased, but this was the first time there was no reward.

Sure enough, not every time traveler can be recognized by the system?

It's really useless.

So Green, who was sighing at the player's cleverness, became disgusted.

"My Lord, is there anything else? If not, I will go home.

Klein is getting a little anxious now. He wants to get off work and go home early because today is the day the maid arrives!

But what are you walking for?

It's obvious that this kid is going back to do bad things.

Anxiety was written all over his face.

Green guessed that he was probably trying to pick up girls. If that was the case, he couldn't be allowed to leave work immediately. As a leader, it was not in line with his style to ask his subordinates to leave work on time.

"How is life in the territory compared to your time in the dungeon?"

Oh, that’s troublesome, never mind.

Since it was his leader who was questioning him, Klein could only suppress his emotions.

He suddenly remembered the incident of 10,000 players trying to crack SAO. It was a sad memory when he thought about it. Almost everyone knew someone who had died.

SAO's perverted mechanism: as long as the player dies in the game, the brain will be directly burned by the host.

To be honest, although the material conditions and social civilization level of today are very different from those of modern times, surprisingly, it is still acceptable for this group of players?

Because the pressure is much less. There is no work pressure, and no one will ask you to pay rent. The material pressure of life is much less. The Medici Territory has basically solved all these problems. As long as you complete your work well, everything will be fine.

Moreover, many people here have gained a sense of accomplishment that they cannot enjoy in modern times. Every player from SAO is considered an official in some way, and the serfs or soldiers in the territory will respectfully call them "Sir" when they see them.

Even marriage, or sex, has a solution by directly assigning maids!

Therefore, Klein really feels that it can’t be too good!

According to Maslow's needs curve, players can get almost everything they want in Medici!
