The difficulty of obtaining these three things also increases in sequence.

Someone has calculated that a freeman who wants to become a landed noble generally goes through four stages: the first generation becomes an official or servant of a noble as a freeman; the second generation awakens extraordinary abilities, follows the noble to make achievements, and becomes a knight, the lowest level of nobles, also known as a knight;

The third generation was formally knighted based on their merits on the basis of their knighthood.

Although some special people can shorten the process of becoming a noble from a freeman, most people enter the aristocratic class through several generations of accumulation, talent and luck.

Although Rognar has good talent and an unusual background, it is unlikely that he can become a feudal noble in Ronin in a short period of time.

This is true for him, and even more so for Grado, who comes from a slightly more ordinary background than him.

As for Kurami, she is actually bound to Rogner. After all, the two are a couple who are about to get married.

Therefore, the second point mentioned by Luo Ning was actually nothing to the three of them.

"My lord, these are not problems."

Rogner took the lead and stood up, kneeling on one knee again, "I had already thought about it before coming here, please accept my loyalty!"

Kurami and Grado also knelt on one knee and swore their allegiance again.

The corners of Luo Ning's mouth rose slightly, revealing a knowing smile.

In that case, what reason does he have to refuse?

"Then, I formally welcome the three of you to join the Wubei Territory!"

At this point, in addition to Joffrey, there was another senior knight among Ronin's knights.

Wu Beiling now has two silver knights, two senior knights, and three intermediate knights. The combat effectiveness of such a knight team is already top-notch.

Next, Luo Ning talked to the three of them about the treatment they would receive after joining the Wubei Territory.

This is the same as others, the corresponding remuneration is matched according to the level of strength.

The daily salary of senior knight Rogna is 100 copper coins, the daily salary of intermediate knight Kurami is 60 copper coins, and the daily salary of junior knight Grado is 30 copper coins.

If they are assigned positions, such as Ridal as commander, McKenn as guard officer, etc., there will be additional position bonuses.

In addition to these, as a lord, Ronin will prepare a set of armor and war horses for them.

However, Rogna and the other two brought these things with them, which saved Roning from the trouble. Now he only needed to provide accommodation for the three of them.

Before in Shanlin Town, due to limited resources, Ronin let the knights live in rooms in the inner or outer castle.

But the castle is where the lord lives after all, and not all followers are qualified to live in the castle.

Now the situation in the territory is gradually getting back on track, and some things that were not considered before need to be planned.

For example, Ronin can set aside an area around the castle to create a "noble community", and only the extraordinary people who follow Ronin or distinguished guests who come to the territory can live in this community.

Of course, this is just an idea at the moment. If we really want to develop real estate, we must first have a sufficient population.

The current situation is that if followers want to live in better houses, such as those with independent courtyards and larger areas, they can apply for land from Roning and hire workers to build them themselves.

For Ronin, the most urgent priority of the territory now is to provide housing for the thousands of slaves who are about to arrive, and the creation of aristocratic quarters will have to be put on the back burner.

After all, there are some empty houses in the outer castle of the Swamp Castle and in the town, so it should be no problem to arrange for Rognar and others to stay there temporarily.

After Roning asked Chahar to take the three people down to settle down, he left Tom behind again to inquire about the situation of the Viper Slave Exchange.

According to the steward Anthony, the Viper Exchange has prepared 400 slaves that meet the requirements and can be delivered at any time.

Meanwhile, the remaining six hundred slaves would be gathered within the next two months.

Now that spring plowing is approaching, the territory is in need of labor.

Roning immediately asked Tom to notify Pearson and ask him to go to the Viper Slave Exchange after arriving in the Horse Ranch City and let Anthony arrange for people to transport all 400 slaves to the Swamp Town.

Roning planned to send all the remaining 600 slaves to Shanlin Town. After all, there were still more than 40,000 acres of land that had not been cultivated there.

As for the reclamation of Black Soil Village, Luo Ning planned to transfer a group of people directly from Swamp Town after the spring plowing. After all, there was a shortcut from Swamp Town to the Black Collar Tribe, which was much more convenient than transferring people from Forest Town.

Roning is very serious about farming. He doesn't want to spend hundreds or thousands of gold coins to buy food outside.

While the knights welcomed Rogna and his two companions, they also felt a sense of pressure.

Now that the lord is so powerful, he can attract the second son of the Viscount's family to pledge allegiance to him. In the future, more and more people will surely come to pledge allegiance to him.

David, Tom and others are still just junior knights. What they need to consider is how to demonstrate their abilities to the lord and gain more trust before more followers arrive.

Late at night, Rogna and Kurami were lying in bed, candlelight lighting up the room.

"What are you thinking about?" Kurami asked in a low voice.

Rogna, who was in a trance, came back to his senses and said with a smile: "I was thinking about what Rydar said to me at the banquet just now."

There was no dancing at the dinner, but there was a fight.

In order to understand Rogna's strength, Rydar took the initiative to propose a competition.

Rogner knew he would lose, but he didn't expect his defeat to be even more miserable than against James Monzon.

He has always been seen as a very capable member of the young generation in the eyes of outsiders, but when standing in front of Redal, who looked about the same age as him, he was suppressed in all aspects and could not fight back.

"That Redar is so strong. I even doubt that Sir Sori is his match."

Kurami frowned slightly. "Not really. Sir Sori is a strong man who has stepped half a foot into the silver level. And Redar barely defeated Baron Leisen a while ago."

Rognar couldn't help but shook his head. He even began to doubt whether Leisen said that on purpose to praise himself. Maybe Redal won that match easily.

"In addition to Rydar, Macken, and Joffrey, I didn't expect that Ronin already had so many knights following him."

Rogna couldn't help but sigh. The last time he came to Ronin's territory, he felt it was just ordinary.

But this time when he officially met this group of knights, he was really shocked.

Most of them are young, have great potential, and each one of them is very passionate and motivated. In time, someone will definitely stand out.

Kurami agreed with this.

She hadn't understood why Uncle Marvin would let his son follow Ronin, a nobleman younger than Rogner, until tonight's banquet, when she finally figured out what "huge potential" meant.

"Okay, I don't want to think about it anymore."

Rogner lay down and held Kurami in his arms. "Tomorrow we will be carrying out the clearing mission with Redar and the others. Go to bed early."

At the dinner, Ronin had already made arrangements for Rogna and Kurami.

If the caravan in the territory has valuables that need to be traded and transported, they will lead the escort.

The reason why Ronin made such an arrangement was, firstly, that he trusted Rogner more than Pearson, and he was a high-ranking knight with sufficient strength; secondly, Rogner was the son of Viscount Marvin, unlike Pearson who was just an ordinary person, and he could perform better in some formal occasions.

Even when it comes to discussing the silk business with the nobles later, Ronin can let them do it. After all, Rogner is born in Ironhoof Castle, a family with strong business capabilities, so he must have the ability in this area.

To sum up, Luo Ning felt that letting the two of them contact the caravan of Wu Beiling was a very appropriate arrangement.

Of course, when they are free from business, the tasks of the two will be arranged by Commander Ridal according to the situation. For example, the two can be asked to participate in the recent vigorous clearing mission.

"Alas~"

Kurami smiled bitterly and said, "The days of freedom will be gone from now on."

Rognar couldn't help but laugh. Compared to their previous free life relying on the family, they would have to obey other people's arrangements in the future, which was indeed less free.

But they will eventually have to start their own family and plan for the future. They cannot depend on their family forever and have to go out.

It took a lot of courage for Kurami to accompany him and take the initiative to step out of his comfort zone. Rogna was very grateful.

“I believe our tomorrow will be better.”

He couldn't help but kiss the other person's lips, "Good night."

"Well, good night!" (End of this chapter)
