Wizard Lords: Building an Empire starts from the panel
Chapter 124 The question of heirs
It was already evening when Levi discussed and arranged a series of affairs for old Pedro.
That night, a reception dinner was held at Fort Monterey. However, since most of the private troops were taken to the Snow Dragon Fortress by Li Wei, Harland, Bellam and others were not present, so the entire reception banquet seemed a bit deserted.
However, Mr. Li Wei put down his arrogance and gave full play to his spirit of having fun with the people. He sat awkwardly among a group of big-headed soldiers and told his legendary experience of more than two months in the north.
"Lord Baron, you are really a genius, you actually thought of using the flood to attack the enemy camp!"
"I think it's really admirable for the Baron to dare to surround and kill the Sun Sun werewolves as a third-level wizard. Let alone the Sun Sun werewolves, even if a Silver Moon level werewolf is in front of me, my calves will tremble!"
"Maggie, don't put too much pressure on yourself. If you had the courage of the Baron, you wouldn't be so timid.
Last time, a fourth-level orc rushed to the top of the city. I wonder whose weapon he couldn't hold firmly?
Seeing the Silver Moon level werewolf's calves trembling, I'm afraid he peed his pants in fear! "
A group of soldiers also laughed together with the officer who was joking just now.
The atmosphere at the scene is relaxed and lively, and Levi's experience always arouses exclamations and admiration from blockbusters.
Of course, when Mr. Levi tells a story, a little exaggeration and bragging are indispensable, otherwise how can he highlight his glorious image as a baron.
After the banquet, Levi returned to his bedroom.
The old butler Pedro arranged for two plump maids to help verify Levi's greatly strengthened body.
Well, at first, Mr. Levi refused. After all, he was still trying to seduce a certain flat-chested little lolita, and since he met Beatrice, the fairy who brought disaster to the country and the people, the so-called top maids in Monterey Castle were also That's it.
But Li Wei, who had not tasted meat for several months, could not control it after all. He kept fighting until midnight. The ground was plowed and the cattle still had some strength left.
----------
At three o'clock in the morning, Li Wei sat up and stretched. Looking at the two maids lying next to him with good figures and a blush on their faces, he couldn't help but subconsciously support his waist.
The two sleeping maids showed that the absurdity last night was true. If it weren't for Marquis Ashan's meal worth 20,000 gold coins, Levi might not have been able to get out of bed this morning.
After ringing the bell, a maid pushed open the door and entered.
"Just clean up the room. I want to take a bath. Prepare a breakfast for me after the bath."
"Okay, Lord Baron."
The messy look in the room made the maid blush slightly. Fortunately, Master Levi just patted her on the buttocks, so he didn't embarrass her too much.
----------
"Grandpa Pedro, what do you want from me?" Levi asked doubtfully as he ate the steak in front of him and took a sip of milk.
"Lord Baron, there is something I have been thinking about all night, and I think I need to have a good talk with you."
Levi waved his hand and retreated, leaving only Pedro and Levi in the room.
"Lord Baron, you have reached adulthood. In fact, under normal circumstances, there is no need to rush to get married at your age. After all, you still have a lot of room for advancement in the future.
But you are not an ordinary person. As the only direct grandson of the old lord, you can be said to be the only child of the Monterey family. On the battlefield, soldiers have no eyesight. Although it is unlucky to say this, I very much hope that you can get married soon and leave an heir. "
Old Pedro's words made Levi fall into silence.
In fact, Li Wei was different from most nobles of this era. He was not enthusiastic about heirs.
The survival of the Monterey family is not the first priority for Levi, not even the top three.
He is just a time traveler, occupying the original body of Levi Monterey, but he himself does not have much feelings for the Monterey family.
Of course, from a personal perspective, the existence of descendants is also very meaningful.
Heirs are not only a guarantee for the survival of the family, but also an important guarantee for strengthening the relationship between the master family and the vassals. With children, Li Wei's private armies will become even more loyal to him.
When old Pedro asked this question, Li Wei couldn't help but think of the emperors who had no heirs in previous lives.
When the boss has no bloodline to inherit the authority, subordinates will always have some reservations when offering their loyalty.
Loyalty is not absolute, it is absolutely disloyal!
Back then, there was a sudden change in the Tumu Fort. The Ming God of War destroyed half a million Ming troops in one fell swoop, and the capital was in danger.
Emperor Jingtai was ordered to do so in danger. When Zhu Qiyu, the God of War of the Ming Dynasty, was studying in Oara, he and Yu Qian took up the main battle banner, repelled the Oara people and prevented the Ming court from moving south.
Typical cases of the imperial court moving southward are the Yongjia Rebellion, which led Yiguan to move south; the Jingkang Rebellion, which led to the Southern Song Dynasty being relatively peaceful.
During the reign of Emperor Jingtai, he stabilized the current situation, appointed wise ministers, organized regiments and camps, reorganized the army, developed the economy, and controlled floods.
It can be said that there is a world of difference between Emperor Jingtai and his brother Zhu Qizhen, who is known as the Son of Heaven, the God of War of the Ming Dynasty, and an overseas student from Wala.
However, Emperor Jingtai had no heirs, while Emperor Yingzong had a son, Zhu Jianshen.
It is difficult for a lord without a bloodline heir to gain all the loyalty of his subordinates.
Because once the master dies, all the loyalty offered by his subordinates will be wasted and nothing will be left.
Old Pedro's worries are very reasonable. There are no weapons on the battlefield, and Li Wei, as a lord, has no heirs. Once he dies accidentally, all the loyalty they have given before by their loyal subordinates will be taken away with them.
Now Levi finally understood. No wonder the old butler Pedro had arranged two enthusiastic maids for him last night. It turned out that the joint was here.
"Grandpa Pedro, I know this. I know it well. There is no need to arrange a maid for me next time. My first heir cannot be an illegitimate child."
"Lord Baron, do you already have a marriage partner?" Li Wei just mentioned it a little, and old Pedro understood immediately.
Levi nodded lightly,
"Yes, but I'm not entirely sure yet."
Old Pedro rubbed his hands excitedly and paced back and forth, his joy almost unable to be concealed. Old Gareth's instructions to him back then are about to come true!
"Lord Baron, you must protect yourself. If you run out of troops, you can train again. If you run out of money, you can save again. If something goes wrong, you must decisively let your contracted monster carry you away from the battlefield!
Before you officially get married and give birth to your eldest son with your mistress, I will not arrange maid service for you anymore. I will give the two maids last night abortion pills. "
After saying that, Pedro Sr. left the room without waiting for Levi's response.
