Lord: Start with the Pioneer Knight

Gute Territory covers an area of ​​more than 3,500 square kilometers, mostly plain terrain, and has a population of more than 90,000 people. It is the top aristocratic force in the Karod Province.

The lord of this place is Olcott Akers, a fifth-generation member of the Akers family and the same generation as Verin's father.

Thanks to the tradition of the Akers family, every Akers descendant has received a good education. Especially those who choose to open up the path of knighthood are motivated by the hope of building a career and honoring their ancestors.

After coming to Cardero Province for more than 50 years, Olcott relied on his own hard work and struggle to build this foundation from scratch.

"Sir, a guard came to report that your nephew Verin was visiting, and attached a letter to prove it." An elderly housekeeper walked in and asked Alcott, who was in his seventies and still looked middle-aged. Report.

As a high-level silver knight, he has only experienced half of his life journey, and he still has at least sixty-five years left to live.

As long as there is a breakthrough, the life span can be increased by two hundred years in an instant.

"Um?"

Alcott was confused and took the letter. It was indeed the family crest, but he had not returned to the family for more than 20 years. Although there were letters exchanged during this period, most of them were about official business.

After opening the letter and looking at the hidden markings, he confirmed that the person who came was indeed his nephew, and then began to read the introduction above to understand the basic information.

"Call Cowell and come with me to greet my nephew." Alcott arranged his clothes and ordered the butler.

"Yes, sir."

The butler stepped forward to help Alcott organize his clothes, then stepped back to invite Cowell, the first in line of succession.

At this moment, at the entrance to Gute City, the central town of Gute Territory, Weilin looked at the clean and tidy environment around him, with a family style.

Observing the surrounding residents, they were rosy-cheeked and well-nourished, much better than the common people under the rule of several nobles along the way.

"Baird, it seems that my cousin is a man with great ambitions."

"My Lord, you are right." Baird, the captain of the Knight Guard, replied.

Not long after, a middle-aged strong man walked towards Weilin at a fast pace, followed by several knights and a steward.

"First meeting, uncle, I am Verin Akers, the fifth son of the current Earl of Eagle." Verin stepped forward, bowed slightly and saluted, expressing his respect to his elders.

"Nice to meet you, Verin. How is Lord Angus doing lately?" Alcott laughed and responded to Verin.

"Everything is fine, the Eagle Leader is getting stronger and stronger under my father's governance."

"Come, let me introduce to you, this is my best son, Cowell." Alcott took Verin's hand and introduced him cordially.

"I've met my cousin." Weilin subconsciously stretched out his right hand.

Kewell was stunned for a moment, then stretched out his right hand to shake hands with Verin.

Alcott was also very curious about this novel way of saying hello, but as an elder, it was difficult for him to ask.

"By the way, uncle and cousin, it's our first time meeting you. I have a gift for you."

Seeing this, Orlando walked forward with an exquisite gift box, slowly opened it, revealing three intermediate magic crystals placed inside.

"It's too expensive." Alcott said in surprise, startled by Verin's gift.

In Cardro Province, one intermediate magic crystal is worth five thousand gold coins, and these three are equivalent to fifteen thousand gold coins.

The annual tax for his territory is only 30,000 gold coins.

"Uncle, I'm serious. I'm here for the first time and I need to get some news. I can't do this without your help." Weilin responded with a smile, his face full of sincerity.

Baron Olcott was polite, and then asked the butler to accept the three intermediate magic crystals. He cordially held Verin's hand and walked towards the castle in the center of Gut City.

Along the way, Baron Alcott showed unprecedented enthusiasm for Verin.

"Weilin, the most important thing in developing a place is manpower. In return, I will give you two hundred serfs, twenty carts of grain, two hundred spears, and a detailed map of Cardro Province."

"Thank you very much, Uncle Alcott." Verin said with a smile on his face. He happened to be short of someone, so he came here.

Arriving at Gut Castle, a banquet was quickly held.

In the castle hall, the banquet was attended by fourteen knights under Verin and more than sixty knights under Alcott.

As the protagonist of the banquet, Weilin attracted much attention, with no less than thirty beautiful girls ogling him.

However, for him, he will not consider his marriage before he is thirty years old. Unless there are enough exciting interests, he can make an exception.

For this reason, he also rejected all the one-night stands proposed by these girls.

"Weilin, actually you can...well, relax a bit." Kewell raised his glass, came to Weilin's side, and said with a smile.

"No, cousin, as a loyal knight, premarital sex is a blasphemy against marriage."

Kewell looked at his serious cousin and smiled awkwardly: "Okay, then I won't bother you."

Looking at his cousin leaving, Weilin shook his head and smiled without saying anything.

Everyone has his own freedom, why does he care so much?

Soon, the banquet was over, and Verin entered Baron Olcott's study, held a candlelight conversation for two hours, and then went to rest under the leadership of a servant.

As late at night approached, Weilin lay in bed, thinking about the specific direction to go next.

According to the information obtained from Baron Olcott, the best direction to open up at this stage is the southwest of the Gray Wasteland. There are many plains and resources in that place, but relatively speaking, there are many low-level monsters, which makes it very difficult to open up.

Weilin is not in a hurry to decide which direction to open up.

He plans to visit the other two barons of the Ex family in the next half month to obtain more information and then make a decision.

After staying in Gut Territory for three days, Weilin bid farewell to his uncle Olcott.

With the other party's warm farewell, Weilin took his subordinates and serfs to the next destination.

These two hundred serfs are all young and middle-aged men. In the market of Cardero Province, one can be sold for 33 gold coins. They can be used as cannon fodder to charge into battle, and they can also be used as slaves to open up the wilderness and plant good fields for him.

Due to the increase in the number of people in the caravan, Weilin can only slow down to take care of the serfs' legs and feet.

Fortunately, there was Baird, the knight captain who was proficient in military knowledge. Under his command, the two hundred serfs were divided into twenty teams, each doing their own thing, without panic.

As time passed, the two hundred serfs looked more and more like an army, but it was unknown how strong they were in actual combat.

May 1, 9720 of the Glorious Calendar, an important day.

At night, Weilin sat by the fire, waiting quietly.

The moon was hanging high in the sky, and the time soon came to eight o'clock in the evening, and the pleasant female voice sounded in his ears again.
