Chapter 187 - 187 120 Rights and Responsibilities_3

187: Chapter 120, Rights and Responsibilities_3 187: Chapter 120, Rights and Responsibilities_3 If it were in the past, Baron West would, at most, employ his own power for revenge, but he would never seek out the accountable inspector.

But now it’s different.

Starting from his departure from the Northland, he’s no longer a Noble of the North.

The original rules of the game naturally no longer apply.

…

In the Mountain Domain, Hudson, who made a fortune, is greeting everyone with a smile at the main gate.

The only one who had such a grand face was Baron Redman.

Seeing the approaching horsemen—one group of more than twenty people, Hudson was taken aback.

Most of them were teenagers, including his two half-brothers.

The only thing that comforted him was that the annoying Laisol was not there.

It seemed that Baron Redman didn’t want to make him uncomfortable and didn’t bring that bothersome fellow over.

“Father, who are these people?”

Hudson asked with confusion.

Just from their clothes and decorations, you can tell that all these people are Noble Children.

Although the Mountain Domain lacks talent, it doesn’t mean he has to take care of other people’s children.

Especially these guys; most of them are not even knights, and they could not be put to use for the time being.

He can’t provide a future for these people, recruitment is simply not realistic.

You can fool serfs with a pie in the sky, but it’s a dream to deceive Noble Children.

Can parents be fooled if their children are fooled?

Surely not every member of a family are fools?

Hudson didn’t want to pay a high price, painstakingly training people only for them to run off to serve other Major Nobles.

“These children are from other branches of our family.

Settle them down first, and I will explain to you later.

Also, these are the people who escorted them.

They are your distant uncles: Knight Sean, Knight Paul, Knight Fidd …”

Baron Redman introduced calmly.

With several relatives added, Hudson called up his signature smile.

A growing family is not necessarily all good.

Just remembering everyone’s name would take quite some time.

“Steward, take these youngsters to the guest room for a rest.

Father, uncles, this is not the place to talk, let’s chat in the hall!”

After finishing speaking, Hudson took the lead and brought everyone to the slightly shabby guest hall to sit down.

“Hudson, you should know the rules of our Koslow Family.

Apart from the eldest son who stays to inherit the family business, all other siblings must seek their own way.

Although the kingdom is generally peaceful, various accidents are inevitable.

Apart from your two younger brothers, the remaining people are the descendants left after the family members who ventured outside met with accidents.

Not all siblings can leave a heritage for their offspring, most siblings who go out to explore can barely make ends meet.

If they die prematurely, the lives of their children become a problem.

According to family tradition, the growth expenses of these family descendants are shared by the branches of the family according to their own economic conditions.

When they are young, it’s manageable, but as they grow older, and when it’s time to Awaken the Life Seed, problems arise.

Koslow Family is populated; there are many children in each branch, and everyone is worried about just solving the resources for these children’s cultivation.

Wanting to take care of all the clan children is even more difficult.

So every generation, there are many family children who lose their chance to become knights because of a lack of Life Essence.

In the past, there was no way out.

The kingdom strictly controls Life Essence, and it is difficult to buy it even if you have money.

The current situation is different.

Many families in the two counties have declined, and many impoverished nobles have reached a point where they can hardly sustain.

Some people will surrender their quota to exchange Life Essence in private to maintain their territorial expenses.

Whether it is a cash transaction or the family providing a few years of safety protection for them, everything can be negotiated …”

Hearing Baron Redman’s explanation, Hudson is gradually getting it.

They came to him simply because he had sufficient appeal among all the native nobles.

Guessing that at first, everyone just wanted to spend money to buy some Life Essence.

However, with the rapid rise of the Mountain Domain, Hudson instantly became the spokesperson for the interests of the native nobles of Layton County.

The stronger the strength, the stronger the voice.

Providing a certain period of safety protection has also become an alternative condition.

As a member of the Koslow Family, having enjoyed the benefits brought by the family, naturally, he needs to bear the corresponding responsibilities.

“Father, I’m afraid it wouldn’t work this way!

If you propose to exchange Life Essence now, many impoverished nobles will agree, but we won’t be able to get rid of the hat of looting while on fire.

It’s better to find a way to bypass this from the side.

As for how to operate specifically, you don’t have to worry about it, I will arrange for someone to implement it.

However, it’s hard to say exactly how much Life Essence we can exchange.

After all, there are many people focusing on this item right now.”

While taking care of appearance and getting Life Essence, Hudson is quite helpless.

But since the responsibility has fallen on him, there is no reason to reject it.

Compared to letting a group of family elders act arbitrarily, Hudson feels that he is better off handling it himself for a more stable situation.

“Do your best.

These are just family children living in the Southeastern Province.

The number of family children in the kingdom who need Life Essence must not be less than a hundred.

It is simply impossible to accumulate enough.

You shouldn’t be under too much pressure; how much you can get is what you get.

The most important thing is the Prefectural Governor competition.

If you can win the position of the Prefectural Governor of Layton County, it would be strategically more meaningful than adding a dozen knights to the family.”

Baron Redman said joyfully.

Although he knows that Hudson is not an ordinary person, by his estimation, he would need at least ten to twenty years of accumulation to get to where he is now.

But in a blink of an eye, he hadn’t even understood what was going on, the Mountain Domain has become the top power in Layton County.
