Drawing a pie
Every cold winter season is a frightening time for serfs and civilians, with corpses of people starving to death and freezing to death everywhere.
It was okay for those free people who had mastered handicraft skills. They had certain crops at home that could sustain them, but the situation was different for the civilians who had no food. They could not bear the hunger and cold and had to choose to flee. This also happened
The refugees.
There are also some refugees who chose to escape in order to survive because their houses were destroyed due to fighting between nobles.
In some cases, the situation of refugees is even more embarrassing than that of serfs.
Long-standing memories came to mind again, and there was an indescribable expression on Karis's face. It was grief, discomfort, and warning.
It was precisely because of this experience that he made up his mind to enter the noble castle and not become a refugee.
Lin En looked at the expression on his face and understood in his heart why Karis always wanted to return to the Earl's Castle when he was arranged to follow him to Ash Town. It turned out that in his opinion, living here in Ash Town
, almost like civilians.
In the cold winter, I am afraid that I will become a refugee.
Linn patted him on the shoulder, "Don't worry, Ash Town will never become like that."
Karis also came back to his senses, "I believe that under the leadership of the master, Ash Town will definitely develop better."
"I've said this many times, but it still needs to be proven with actual actions. I see you bought something, right?"
"I bought some livestock babies, as well as chickens, ducks and crop seeds. The price of adult dairy sheep and goats is too expensive." Karis replied, he now wanted to break a silver coin into two flowers.
Lin En said: "This time my father asked them to bring some livestock and crop seeds. There are a lot of them. You can arrange to plant them when the time comes."
After saying that, he turned his attention to the two people behind Karis.
"Tell me about you."
The two of them immediately performed a standard knightly salute and introduced themselves with a trembling voice.
The man with tawny hair and freckles on his face is named Jack Bean, and the man with ash-brown hair and a scar on his face is named Miles.
The two wore linen clothes and long swords, but the hilts looked a little strange.
They are all retinues of the mid-level knight Hans. They are different from the knight's attendants. They are both selected from civilians and have certain qualifications, but they do not have any good backgrounds. They will follow the knights for a lifetime, unless they are lucky enough to break through and become a knight.
, otherwise you will always be just a follower.
Or when there was a war, they died on the battlefield.
They were young and usually trained with Hans. Now it was the first time they faced a noble lord directly, and their bodies were shaking slightly.
Lin En looked at them. These two were not even official knights now.
"How long have you been training with Hans?" Linn asked.
"Sir, we have been training for three years." Jack replied.
"Do you want to become a knight?"
Jack and Miles were stunned for a moment, obviously not expecting the lord to ask such a straightforward question, and for a moment they didn't know how to answer.
"What did Hans say?"
"He said we could never become knights." Miles said, with an expression of dissatisfaction on his face.
"Oh, do you think this is right?" Lynn stared at Miles.
Miles' body trembled even more violently, but he still said: "I don't think something is right."
"Good!" Lin En praised, "Why should others say you are what you are? You should have heard of me before you came here. A nobleman who has not condensed the seeds of life has a status far lower than that of my brothers.
Sister, even younger brother and sister."
Jack and Miles didn't dare to answer casually. It was okay for the adults to say so. If they dared to express their thoughts, it would be an insult to the nobles and they would be hanged.
Lynn unleashed his knightly aura, and Jack and Miles were shocked. They were caught off guard and sat down on the ground.
The man with disheveled hair sitting outside tilted his head slightly and looked towards the hall.
"I have become a knight now, and I can tell you that nothing is impossible." Linn looked at them condescendingly.
"I think you should also know why you were placed here. You have no potential. Hans believes that you will not become a knight. In other words, you are abandoned.
Ashes Town is a place of poverty in their eyes. If you enter this place, you will never be able to stand out again in your life. You may even encounter and be killed by monsters. If you die here, except for your family, there will be no one else.
People care.”
Lin En's every word was like a sharp knife piercing into their hearts. Their faces turned pale, as if they were thinking about the scene of their families crying after their death.
When they were arranged here, several of the subordinates who trained together looked at them with pitiful eyes, and even said that they would never be able to meet again in the future.
On the way here, they still had a glimmer of hope, maybe Ember Town wasn't as bad as they imagined.
Now the Lord's words have completely wiped out their hopes.
"Are you willing?" Linn said suddenly.
The two of them looked up at the adults.
"It doesn't matter if I'm not welcomed and assigned to Ash Town. I became a knight. You can also gather the seeds of life to become a knight. It doesn't matter if it's remote here. As long as you dare to do it, you can change. I have already changed.
, do you want to change?"
"think!"
"think!"
Jack and Miles nodded vigorously, their eyes lit up again, and the flame of hope was rekindled.
"As long as you obey the order, you will definitely meet this day." Linn said, taking back his knightly momentum, "Stand up."
The two stood up, their eyes looking completely different from before.
When he met them in the forest, Lin En could see the confusion between the two of them. They followed the order and came here, but they were also worried in their hearts, thinking about what the town was like, what the dangers were, etc.
When Lin En asked just now, the two of them unconsciously revealed this idea. In other words, they had no specific concept and no confidence in this place.
Then, when they carry out the Lord's order in the future, they will do it, but how serious it will be is hard to say.
What Lin En wants are loyal and serious subordinates, especially when this territory is initially beginning to develop. The arrival of the two of them has solved part of Lin En's problem of lack of talents.
In response to the two men's lack of determination, Lin En first used intimidation and then drew a big picture, successfully deceiving the two servants who had never seen the world. As for whether they could become knights, that depends on the future.
