Chapter 82: Howard and Son
Chapter 82: Howard Father and Son
On the sidelines, Kerens knew all about the change of attitude of the Howard father and son, but was happy to see it, because it meant that the other party was not only up to the task, but also put themselves in a downward position.
Initially in order to recruit talent, he did not waste a lot of words, not only to attract each other to follow, but also have to put up the frame, can not let the other side underestimated, after all, he was ready to introduce talent for the Lord, not to invite the master, can not let the other side feel that he can not be, which can be difficult to grasp the grasp of pinch.
However, Kerens knows, Howard’s father and son attitude change so much, the key is still the territory, even he himself did not expect the territory development speed so fast, which only left how long, the territory from a village into a decent town, his original choice is really right, the same is to rely on, one step ahead of him is Howard’s father and son’s leader, regardless of the other side in the future to climb to what position, this The favor is always there, and can even be passed on to their descendants.
“Let’s go to the center of the town first, where is the territorial office, although the lord is not often there, but Lady Maya most of the time where to deal with the affairs of the territory.” Although Corenth’s tone was flat, Howard pricked up his ears to memorize every word.
And although it was just a sentence, Howard got a lot of important information from it, first of all, that Lord Lord usually doesn’t take care of things much, the one in charge of the affairs of the territory is a lady, and from the attitude and tone of Baron Kerens, even though it’s a lady, her ability is very strong, at least she is able to convince the people, so when they meet in a little while they have to correct their own attitudes.
As for the territory managed by a woman, or a servant girl, Howard has long seen this not strange, because in the empire than this more ridiculous things abound, not to mention the servant girl, regardless of how capable, loyalty is not a problem, responsible for the day-to-day management will not have any impact.
At the same time, Howard also felt from the words of the goodwill released by Kerens, don’t look at just a sentence, but let them father and son to take a lot of detours, and more to avoid offending should not be offended by the people.
When you first come to the country, in addition to the lord, maintaining good interpersonal relationships is also very important, this is Howard in the empire’s borders stayed for so many years to realize.
If he had not offended someone when he was young and impetuous, he would not have been pressed for ten years and missed the golden period of his life, resulting in the loss of countless opportunities, therefore, for the goodwill of Kerens, he immediately responded to the relationship between the two sides from the time he walked into the territory immediately rose to a new level.
Howard talked while surveying the town.
The shelves behind the sturdy wooden wall made him nod, this was used to let the soldiers stand up against enemy attacks, it was the layout of the archery towers that was a bit of a problem, if he was allowed to arrange it, it would require fewer archery towers, cover a larger area, and wouldn’t leave too much of a dead zone.
In addition to this, other aspects even he can not pick any faults, especially responsible for patrolling and guarding the tower on the soldiers, simply can not see any perfunctory and distracted, every one of them are spirited, strict implementation of the order, so that he is very envious.
Walking into the town, the streets here are horizontal and vertical, every intersection has a fountain as a water source, allowing people around to get water, obviously the water here is very rich, from the perspective of defending the city, this is another rare advantage.
In addition, Howard quickly noticed that the residents of the town are very observant, everyone walks on the right, and pedestrians will give way to the center of the road, so that carriages and horseback riders can walk quickly, everything is in order.
There is also that they are very hygienic, no matter what clothes they wear, they will take care of themselves very clean, hands and face can not see the dirt, not to mention urinating and defecating, the whole town is so clean that it is difficult for him to adapt.
This world seems to be very backward in Owen’s opinion, but in fact in some aspects are very advanced, for example, the empire has long known the importance of environmental hygiene, so the spitting in the city is to be fined, urinating and defecating will be whipped in public, and there are public toilets and bathhouses for the common people in order to keep the environmental hygiene not to deteriorate. But these are only limited to the towns, most of the countryside is still a medieval look, more than 90% of the population live like animals, only know how to work and pay taxes, and only in this way is more favorable to the minority to rule the majority.
Born in the empire Howard knows this, and the empire’s border army on the hygiene requirements are not low, because once the outbreak of large-scale disease, non-combat attrition will be very serious, so the army is very focused on environmental health.
All the details in the town made Howard put away the little bit of arrogance brought by his own imperial origin and once again warned his eldest son Hogg, who was still staring at the patrolling soldiers, with a look that made him a little puzzled.
Soon the three of them came to the center of the town, this place can’t be talked about luxury, but it is also above standard, from the smallest details you can see that the territory is not a false appearance, Howard secretly nodded, then adjusted his mind and followed Kerens to pay a visit to Lady Maya.
Upon seeing the two Teutonic warriors in front of the door, Howard stiffened, his hand unconsciously gripped on the hilt of his sword, but the originally smooth and comfortable movement of drawing his sword was as good as welded, his instincts were desperately reminding him that one more movement would kill him.
Not locked in a Teutonic warrior’s aura, Kerens rushed forward and knocked on the door, for he knew that nothing he could say would be of any use.
Sure enough, the near-frozen atmosphere dispersed as Maya opened her mouth to come in.
Howard, who was in a cold sweat, told the nearly deflated Hogg to stay outside, because from the moment he saw the Teutonic warrior, he knew that Hogg was not qualified to go in, even if he himself had to lower his stance.
But Howard didn’t harbor any resentment, and was even filled with joy and urgency deep inside.
Here he would definitely be able to fulfill his ancestor’s dream and truly become a noble!
What gave Howard confidence was not what he had seen and heard before, but the appearance of the Teutonic warriors.
Fighting spirit has appeared for an unknown number of years, a variety of schools variations countless, but recognized as the strongest or the original version of the fighting spirit, the flesh will be hammered to the extreme, from the exuberance of the life force to the extreme to give birth to the most pure fighting spirit.
But want to reach this point is very difficult, not only need to superhuman top talent, but also need to carry out inhuman hard training for many years, will flesh polished to perfection, during this period but also consume a lot of food and precious potions, so as to create a horrible killing monster.
It is because of the difficulty, so generally only the empire and the great nobles have the ability to cultivate, even so is also treated as a very important card, easily will not use, and he even saw two here.
Regardless of whether these two are cultivated by the lords here themselves, or sent by others, they all represent great prospects for development, which makes Howard, who is thirsty for further advancement, how can his heart not be on fire.
