The questions raised by Marquis Uk made all the great nobles present worried.

"If there is no replacement for the adventurer in settlement, the grassroots talent will become scarce." One count said distressedly, "But... what conditions should we use to attract adventurers?"

"Finn?" asked another earl.

"Impossible!" Another count immediately denied, "It is easy to grant a fief, but it is difficult to deprive it. Settlement adventurers often only have one or two generations to use, and most of them have not performed well since the third generation. How can they grant a fief!"

"Yes, it would be fine if it were a high-level adventurer. The mid-level adventurer is really not worthy of granting a fief."

"But without a fiefdom, the conditions we can give are not better than those of the Merchant Sect. We cannot give every mid-level adventurer the identity of a quasi-knight. As for those low-level adventurers, they are more likely to not even be able to give their official status... In contrast, the Merchant Sect can at least give them hope for family inheritance."

"What a shit family inheritance! There is no fiefdom, what kind of family is it? It's just laughable!"

"But those middle and low-level adventurers don't think so. For them, having a stable industry and a family of inheritance will be appropriate in this life."

"It's really abominable! Can't these guys pursue more!"

"If you have more pursuits, you might just go to the Northwest Republic."

“…That country is so bad!”

After a lot of criticism, everyone was unable to draw any good conclusions or any seemingly effective methods.

In the final analysis, the power status of the nobles is really not binding for adventurers.

Of course, adventurers also respect the power of the nobles, but they are free. Even if they turn their faces on their faces, they can even pat their butts and leave. Can the nobles run to other noble territories to hunt them down?

Although generally speaking, nobles still have advantages when facing adventurers, individuals often have nobles killed by adventurers and cannot catch the murderer.

Just look at the wanted lists of the Church of the Noble God and the Church of the Law, and you will find that this situation is really not uncommon.

Adventurers have courage and the so-called murderous intention arises by holding a weapon. Faced with unfair treatment, the weak may swallow their anger, but the strong often choose to fight the front and fight for themselves with their fists for justice.

The result of this conflict is mostly due to adventurers’ losses, but there are many cases of nobles suffering. In the past five years alone, five or six barons and one viscount have died in the entire main plane. As for the knight level, there are more, and the great nobles are too lazy to count.

If a head-on conflict arises, a high-level adventurer can sacrifice his life and threaten an earl. And those nobles who died were all killed by mid-level adventurers.

So if you want to rely on your power and status to oppress adventurers and force them to surrender, this method really doesn't work.

Since we cannot threaten, we can only tempt. But the nobles are reluctant to give us enough benefits, and the method of tempt is also not feasible.

This is not possible, nor that is not possible. In the end, everyone can only do anything and look down on each other.

"Maybe...it's all about resolving the problem by war." After a long silence, an earl said.

He was a member of the local aristocracy and had always united with other local aristocracy to fight against the central aristocracy composed of the two marquises and their vassals. Unlike the central aristocracy, local aristocracy did not want to fight with merchants because they knew that if they fought, they would definitely suffer a greater loss.

Not to mention anything else, their territory is adjacent to the territory of the merchants.

It is absolutely certain to beat and break some bottles and jars at your own house.

However, in the face of obvious crisis, he had no choice.

"I think it's okay to wait." Marquis Gordon said before Marquis Uk, "War is not a trivial matter. If you want to fight, you have to win it. So we must be prepared first and ensure that we must win."

"Faced with those guys who can only recruit mercenaries, it's hard to lose." An earl said with a smile, "Mercenaries can't fight tough battles. Are they really trying their best? Fight, they will collapse soon."

"But that would be a huge loss..." another count said worriedly.

"I don't care about the loss at this time!" A cold light flashed in Earl House's eyes, "If you agree, I'm willing to do it first!"

"Huh? Haven't you made peace with them before? Now, it's not good."

Earl House sneered: "After peace, I have been preparing for war, and now I have almost prepared. If I fight, I am absolutely sure to gain an advantage."

Dear nobles, look at me, look at you, and you are all silent.

After a while, Marquis Gordon said, "Let's wait a little longer, at least a few more people are ready... and then do it together."

"Okay, then you'd better get faster." Earl House said, "The opportunity does not wait for anyone, and the merchants in the north are not fools. They can also think of things we can think of."

All the great nobles nodded one after another, and after the meeting, they were ready to go.

When Marquis Uk returned home, he first went to the secret room hidden underground.

His eldest son is still imprisoned here to this day and cannot go out.

"Have you figured it out?" He didn't enter the door, but just asked outside.

"I should ask you this." A somewhat tired but firm answer came from the door, "Father, have you figured it out?"

"Even if the noble ladies can beat the golden crown, we will be indispensable to rule this country in the future. Why do we have to take such a big risk?" Marquis Uk sighed, "If our family is just an earl, then I don't object to your gamble, but our family is already the top level of the gold coin federation. How far can it be?"

"King!" His best eldest son's tone was a bit hot, "The king's power is the ultimate goal of the nobles!"

"It is not that easy to be a king," said the Marquis of Uk. "First of all, we have no power to overwhelm others."

“The church of my Lord can provide such power.”

"What's the point of royal power that is subordinate to divine power?" Marquis Uk sneered and asked back.

"It is natural for mortals to be subordinate to gods. We will all die, and our destination after death is far more important than the glory before our lives."

"It's just a deal, and I didn't think about whom I used to believe in devoutly." Marquis Uk said lightly, "If you donate a large sum of money before you die, most of the kingdoms of gods can go. The destination after death is not a problem for us."

"How can a place that is not suitable for you be called a home?"

Marquis Uk sighed: "It's my fault, I shouldn't have let you be a priest..."

"No, I want to thank you! If I hadn't believed in my Lord, my life would have been in confusion." His eldest son said with a smile, "Father, you have been confused for too long, it's time to turn back."

Marquis Uk shook his head: "Think about it again, I'll see you tomorrow."

He did not mean to continue to argue with his son, and the debate between faith and interests would not have a result.
