As a village chief, how much strength can the Knights have?

Fang Yuan slightly estimated that the Knight Jora might have a hundred serfs and civilians under him, which is already quite a lot.

If you fish in the waters, you can probably draw a hundred adult men to fight. Of course, the location cannot be a one-day journey of fiefs. After all, these are strong laborers. Once you stay away from production activities, the territory will inevitably encounter famine in the next year.

"Therefore... there are only twenty soldiers who can be prepared at most. According to the principle of five households, only by withdrawing one person can we avoid damaging the people's strength..."

"As a vassal of the superior vassal, the knights have their own horses, equipment, and entourages every year. They have the obligation to fight for the superior lord for 30 days free of charge. If this number exceeds this number, there will be compensation. If it does not exceed it, it can only collect spoils by themselves... And the obligation of the knight Jora clearly stipulates that there must be no less than fifteen militia entourages..."

Although it has not been officially inherited, Fang Yuan has undoubtedly regarded the entire Knight leader as his own thing.

After all, under the system at this time, even the vassal monarch at the higher level of the Knight Jora had no right to take back the territory enfeoffed. Even the vassal rebellion was caused by excessive demands from the vassal monarchs.

"But... it is said that the Knights Jora's family died of a plague?"

Fang Yuan looked around and saw a harmonious pastoral scenery, with no signs of grief: "Is it only targeting the family's evil diseases? Interesting!"

Thinking of this, he stopped a passing farmer: "Take me to Knight Jora's villa!"

The lord had the power of finance, military and other things in his fiefs, and no one would take care of even the construction of the royal palace.

Of course, due to financial resources, it is difficult for even the Baron to have his own castle, and most of the knights can only live in villas.

In turn, a castle that has been inherited for hundreds of years is a landmark, the source of noble glory, and it also represents security.

After all, in addition to showing off martial arts and financial resources, the most important function of the castle in this era is defense, or in other words, defense is the main function.

"Who are you……"

The person who was called seemed to be in his thirties or forties, covered in dust, wearing a sack-like clothes, and had some muscles on his body.

However, Fang Yuan knew that it was not caused by eating and drinking enough to exercise, but was caused by long-term heavy physical stress, which often represents the consumption of future life.

In fact, this person should be in his twenties, but he has already shown a tendency to aging before he grows old.

At this time, I raised my head, and my face, which had been through vicissitudes, was filled with doubt and a little awe.

After all, a man who can ride a horse and wears weapons cannot be offended by a small farmer.

"I am the heir of Lun, the Knight of Jora!"

Fang Yuan said in an announcement.

"So it's Lord Lord! My name is Willy!"

Willie hurriedly bowed and bowed, with the same attitude of taking off his hat. Unfortunately, he didn't have a hat on his head, but instead he was as messy as a chicken coop, which was a bit inappropriate.

Moreover, Fang Yuan even keenly found a hint of fear and pity in his eyes.

‘Do you think I will die from various accidents just like the unlucky heirs before?’

He thought silently in his heart, then threw a few copper coins over: "I am a generous person, this is your reward!"

"Ah...how can this be done?!"

Willie said quickly, but his hands unconsciously clenched the coins.

This little money can be bought with a piece of black bread, so that the boys at home can have a meal. Alas... the poor youngest Crier has never been full since he was born, and he often competes for food with his sister.

With tips, Willy suddenly burst out with indescribable enthusiasm. While leading the way, he introduced Fang Yuan the deeds of the former lord Jora and several heirs:

"Knight Jora is a good man, and his wife is also very kind. Sometimes she will give bread to the people... Unfortunately, the whole family died of illness... Fortunately, with the pastor coming, he controlled the source in time, so it did not spread..."

"After Lord Knight went, Master Marvins was the first heir. Unfortunately, he was knocked down by a horse on the way to come, and his neck broke..."

"Compared with Marvins, Engel is much worse. He has a very bad temper. There is even a bad guy who is whipped by him. However, after staying in the Knight's villa for one night, he seemed to be frightened and turned into a madman. He drowned himself in the short time..."

"From then on, all the heirs had accidents one after another. Everyone was rumored that the curse of Knight Jora was lingering in the villa. He was unwilling to see outsiders inherit his family business..."

...

Although the serfs of this era had natural awe in front of the lord, at this time, under the influence of money and a little hint, Willy seemed to be very familiar with Fang Yuan and turned into a big mouth.

It was not until he saw the two-story villa that he seemed to remember his identity and waved his hand quickly:

"Oh! Sorry, sir, I'm not talking about you!... The so-called curse... is just a rumor! It's a rumor!"

"hehe!"

Fang Yuan smiled, and ignored Willie, who was almost scared to death by him, stepped forward and knocked on the door.

As the residence of the knight, this villa is large in area, with the mahogany doors that look very strong, with large windows and purple curtains that will make the sun shine. The lighting is very good, which is very suitable for Fang Yuan's appetite.

‘No matter what, it’s much better than the castle…’

As a fortification castle, it can in many cases destroy the dreams of young girls.

The main stream is the narrow windows and cold and dark environments. If you stay in it for a long time, you will definitely get rheumatism and other diseases. Of course, the physique of extraordinary people is exceptional.

In comparison, the Knights' villa has put a lot of effort into the floor paved with marble, and there is a small garden behind it, with vague fountains, statues, and tailored vegetation. Some flowers bloom and exudes an intoxicating fragrance.

When Fang Yuan saw this, he immediately decided that even if he had enough funds in the future, he would not build a stone coffin and bury himself.

Just as he was imagining, the carefully crafted door opened from inside, and a middle-aged housekeeper wearing a wig appeared. His turbid eyes were confused: "You are..."

"I am Lun from Blue Moon Town. This is my proof of identity and other documents!"

Fang Yuan handed over the inheritance documents in the package: "I will inherit the legacy of Knight Jora!"

"So it's Mr. Luen. I'm Master Jora's housekeeper Marseille. I've been waiting for you for several days. Please come in!"

The Marseille housekeeper immediately gave way, bowed slightly, and welcomed Fang Yuan into the villa.

The light in the villa is pretty good, with copper candlesticks everywhere, and marble sculptures and oil paintings on the walls and around the corners, making it look very aristocratic.

"Young Master is here to work hard. Please take a rest first. I'll ask the servant to prepare dinner!"

Marseille said politely.

"Don't rush these things!"

Fang Yuan came to the living room, sat down on a chair wrapped in a thick layer of cloth, similar to a sofa, and waved his hand: "First of all, let's determine whether my inheritance rights are legal, and what procedures are required to truly inherit the jazz..."

"Yes!" Ma Sai was a little surprised, and then he picked up a pot of black tea and filled it with Fang Yuan. He said in a slow tone: "After Master Raymond's death, you are already the first heir. As long as you do not declare your renunciation, the right of inheritance is unshakable. However, in the master's will, you must complete one condition to fully inherit these inheritances!"

"What conditions? Is the trial of the nobles?"

Fang Yuan took a sip of black tea, crossed his fingers and asked with interest.

"No, no! It's just a very simple request. Lord Jazz needs you to stay in the study of this villa for one night!"

Marseille replied in a calm voice.

"Stay in the study for one night?"

Fang Yuan suddenly thought of the unlucky guy Engel, whom the guide Willie mentioned before, seemed to have mental problems because he stayed for one night?

"Can!"

But for him, this is naturally nothing, so he nodded immediately.

"Since that's the case, I'll invite a few notary publics to come right away!" Marseille felt as if he was breathing a sigh of relief and owed her body.

"Is there really something evil spirit in this villa?"

This behavior made Fang Yuan a little suspicious, the divine Yuan dispersed, and a smile suddenly appeared on the corner of his mouth.

...

The dinner in the villa was very good, with baked lamb chops that were burnt on the outside and tender on the inside, various vegetable salads, white bread and fruit pulp, drinks and wine, and the tableware was full of silver utensils, which looked very luxurious.

It is worth mentioning that Fang Yuan is not eating alone. He also has several designated ‘notaries’!

Among them are the superior lord of Knight Jora, the envoy sent by the Shawshank Baron, the local figure, and a bishop of the Church of Death.

What surprised Fang Yuan even more was that they seemed to live nearby. When Marseille went out, he immediately brought them back.

"Thank you for your hospitality!"

After eating and drinking, the Bishop of Hess, Daniel, was the first to speak: "I wish you success!"

"Thank you!"

Several people held their glasses and drank them all in one go. Because it was the first time we met, we were taboo to talk in a simple and deep manner, so Fang Yuan didn't say much.

I just felt that the bishop looked at him, as if he had a little deep meaning.

...

"Good night, Master Luen!"

After dinner, Fang Yuan was taken to the study of Knight Jora.

Immediately, Marseille commanded the servants, put down the bedding and the like, exited the study room, and politely closed the door.

Through the window, Fang Yuan saw the servants leaving the villa, and obviously had another residence, and couldn't help but be even more surprised: "It seems that the villa is indeed a bit deep!"
