Leo was furious after being kicked out of the tent. In his impression, Uliyan is a leader with a halo, the savior of the villagers, a strong man, and a tyrant. But I've never seen him fawning like this, and it leaves people with a huge psychological gap. Although these inherent impressions are the remnants of the memories of the simple-minded original owner Leo. In Leo's eyes now, Uliyan is actually an ambitious, capable, and flexible veteran, so it is not surprising that he does such a thing. In fact, as an adult corporate slave, Leo understands what Uliyan did very well. There's nothing shameful about attracting investment, just lick it. If he made the nobles happy, they would send him a few ships of supplies and he would benefit from it as well. I just always feel a little uncomfortable. "I am the most miserable time traveler. Others become noble young masters, knight lords, etc., but after traveling through time, I am still a wage earner, and I don't even get paid."
"No matter how bad the time travel is, at least there is a portable system, attribute template or grandfather or something. What do I have? A stubborn mind? A bloodline with reduced intelligence?" Sitting on a log beside the wooden trestle, Leo was lost in thought as he watched the villagers happily moving food and farm tools. As a time traveler, who doesn't want to turn the tide and save the people from danger? However, the reality is cruel. Even if you travel through time, life still requires one step at a time. Although the river channel that leads to Isenbol from the river bend has a gentle flow, it is filled with reefs, numerous shoals, and many forks. It is a natural river channel that has not been artificially repaired and is not suitable for ships to pass through. Only this kind of small fishing boat with a shallow draft and old fishermen who have made a living in this river for most of their lives can sail smoothly on it. Therefore, in the early stages of the development of the river bay, river transportation was destined to not become the main artery of the river bay territory. In comparison, it is easier to open up a land route through the thirty-mile riverside forest. As long as the road from Riverbend to the Western Watchtower is opened up, Riverbend Territory can rely on the unobstructed World Tree Avenue to trade with Isenbor, or exchange what it needs with several surrounding knight territories. But before that, the pioneering team must first survive, and Knight Roman is their life-saving medicine. Olivia, who couldn't stand the awkward atmosphere in the tent, found an excuse to escape from the tent. He searched with his eyes and saw Leo's figure, walking towards the river. Sitting down next to Leo, Olivia glanced at Leo's gradually angular profile and felt that he had become a stranger. This strangeness made her feel a little uneasy. In the past, he was reckless and hot-blooded, with a simple mind, and all his thoughts were written on his face. He and she played and fought with each other, but they were very close. After her mother passed away, her father was still serving in the army. She has a deep memory of how he got through those two years. The young and old men in the village will not stop coveting your beauty just because you have a father who is a sergeant far away. They have climbed over the wall to enter your village in the middle of the night more than once or twice. But the man who climbed over the wall and sneaked into Olivia's house always found Leo's fist right in front of him. Now, he gradually hid his thoughts, and his green eyes became deep and quiet, with no one able to tell their depth.
During this period, Olivia often secretly saw him in a daze or lost in thought when he was alone. This was impossible before, and no one would even believe it if she told him about it. When he had nothing to do before, he would just roll on the ground, crawl in the dark, sneak attack the village children, or poke ant nests for an afternoon. "What? Don't you want to serve your lord knight?" Leo's eyes widened when he saw Olivia approaching, and the "old him" immediately came back. Olivia stared at him and suddenly smiled and said, "You are jealous!" "You're jealous!" Leo immediately retorted, "I heard that kissing hands is a ritual for married women, or it can be given to one's fiancée. Oh, you've been targeted by someone, maybe Uncle Uliyan wants to sell you to him!" "No, no, I made a fool of myself." Olivia automatically ignored Leo's words. No matter how different she was, she was still a country girl who had never seen the world. How could she understand the complicated etiquette of the nobility? This inexplicable hand-kissing ceremony was something she had imagined while chatting with her fellow girls in the village while washing clothes. I was nervous for a moment and stretched out my hand. Olivia pretended to be annoyed and said, "I got the etiquette wrong when I first met the Knight. How can I make up for it? The Knight is so handsome and elegant, it seems like it would be nice to marry him..." Leo immediately felt disadvantaged and pretended to grab her hand, "No, I want a kiss too!" "Hahaha, go away!" Olivia supported her hands on the stone behind her, smiled and raised her foot to kick Leo to resist Leo's attack. After laughing for a while, Olivia tidied her clothes and appearance, calmed down and looked at Leo again, making sure that he was still "the same person as before". With a hint of shyness, she mustered up the courage and stretched out the back of her hand. Looking at the delicate hand in front of him, Leo's eyes narrowed dangerously. Without waiting for Olivia to be alert, he slapped her hand hard on the back with lightning speed, then ran away with a wild laugh. Olivia's fingers were numbed by the beating. She angrily picked up her skirt and chased after him, shouting in the Imperial Elegant Language: "Asshole! Where are you going!" In the tent, Ulian and Knight Roman were still having a long conversation. As the most capable soldier of Rigolav, the current head of the Petukhov family, Sergeant Ulyan had a much closer relationship with his former most capable soldier Roman and his father than others guessed. However, it was really hard to imagine that a civilian would lead a thousand people thousands of miles south to open up the wilderness. The head of the family, Rigolav, did not dare to make a bet easily for a while. If you really want to make a bet, it is better to fail faster, at least you can stop the loss in time. I’m afraid it’s a bottomless pit that will drag the Petukhov family into the abyss. "Captain, do you know how we got the third knight's territory in Petukhov? It's the one south of the western watchtower." After chatting about their recent situation, Luo Meng wanted to say something several times but stopped himself. Finally, he couldn't help it and asked after organizing his words. "Well, I heard from you that when your uncle served in the Knights of the Wind, he was praised by Grand Duke Michael Odalov himself. After he retired, he was commended by Count Furilov and was awarded this knight's territory." "Yes, but do you remember the origin of this knight's collar?" "Hmm... I'm not sure. I remember going there once seven or eight years ago. It was a fairly large village. I think the lord at that time was called Mickey? Mischi?" "It's Knight Miswich." Romon corrected, "The Miswich family is an old knight family in Isenbol, but it has declined in the past two generations. His father, old Knight Miswich, chose to support his second son, Hikavi, in the earl succession twenty years ago, and was deprived of his fiefdom as a result." "After being deprived of his fiefdom, old Miswich chose to open up new territories. It took two generations, father and son, twenty years to successfully open up a village with a hundred households. As a result, when old Miswich died, the fiefdom was given to my third uncle." Ulyaan was incredulous and asked, "Is there no one objecting?" "Who is willing to get involved? Miswich has almost squandered all his family fortune in the past twenty years in order to open up new territory. Most importantly, Miswich has not been able to awaken and advance until he was thirty years old. No one will support a poor knight family that doesn't even have an advancer."
"Father has never supported you to become a pioneer knight. A big part of the reason is this. Without someone to back you up, even if the pioneering work is successful, it may not belong to you." Luo Meng's words were very clear, he almost said directly: You are just a commoner, you have no family support, you are not awakened yourself, you lack military force, you lack financial resources, and you only have one daughter. You don't have any outstanding offspring worthy of investment from other families. The reality is so cruel. Without strength and background, you cannot maintain your successful business.
