In late autumn, the first snow is flying, and the tower is full of fun.

Ryan, Su Liya, and the fairy in the lake sat around a small table on the ground. The hot pot was lit in the middle of the small table. The newlyweds sat on one side. The fairy in the lake did not sit across from them, but sat on Ryan’s left hand. .

"It's not as simple as you imagined?" Ryan asked Sulia in his arms in doubt. He hadn't been in Brittany for a long time, and he didn't really understand some rules.

"Ryan, you are from Nord. In Nord or the Empire, how about a serf who wants to become a nobleman?" With a smile on the beautiful face of the fairy country in the lake, she put beef, prawns, and chicken. Cut into pieces, dip them in sauce, and put them in the hot pot. The goddess actually doesn't need to eat much. She doesn't get any fishy meats, she just eats some fruits and tastes fruit wine and wine.

The goddess does this just to show closeness.

"The three channels are the same as the empire." Ryan stretched out three fingers.

"The first is to enter schools or churches as apprentices. The nobles of the empire will regularly go to colleges and churches to find excellent servants and courtiers. Although the school always recommends piety and loyalty, there are still many achievements. Excellent apprentices act for the nobles, become their attendants and gradually become stewards or even courtiers. When a courtier has accumulated enough qualifications or merits, some nobles will choose to give them a noble status, but this way The cost is very high. Among the civilians, only self-employed farmers and even rich peasants, those merchants and shop owners can afford high tuition fees."

"The second is to join the army." Ryan stretched out his second finger: "Lords always need an excellent army to defend their territory. Civilians can join the army every year. Joining the army will first receive recruit training and survive. Those who can become a reserve service. The reserve service waits for the opportunity to be replenished to become a town garrison, and then continues to wait for the opportunity to become a full-fledged soldier."

"Official soldiers will be incorporated into swordsmen, crossbowmen, spears, or halberds. They need to continue to fight hard until they accumulate credit and strength to become a swordsman, and the swordsman can enjoy double the salary. With a military camp with a good environment as a place to live, the best swordsmen will be promoted by the nobles and become military commanders or knights. This means that they have entered the noble class. Some military commanders may even have the opportunity to be knighted and become imperial generals. ."

"The third way is to find a way to become a knight apprentice. The knight apprentice will follow the knights to learn and take care of their daily lives. After a few years, excellent knight apprentices will be promoted to knight servants, and the servants will start. With a certain status, you can follow the knights on the battlefield and make achievements. Among them, the outstanding knights will have the opportunity to become trainee knights, fight on horseback and wait for the nobles with knighthood to be canonized, become ranger knights, and begin to enter the aristocratic class."

"So it's like this!" Su Liya's eyes lit up, and she looked at her husband in admiration: "Then Ryan, you must be the third way?"

"Ahem, I am not. I am the adopted son of the White Wolf Knight. I am born with the qualification of a knight apprentice. After I have achieved the merits in the Battle of Lapland, I will directly become a ranger knight." Ryan said with some embarrassment.

This is the back door left by the nobles of the empire for their children. The children of the nobles take a different path. They are better trained since childhood. After graduating from court courses or school courses, the children of the nobles may become trainees. Knight, or become a pistol cavalry.

"Ryan, my champion, suppose I didn’t help you. You should be a company commander of the White Wolf Knights now, living in White Wolf City, waiting for the white wolf Urik’s order, and long-term cooperation with Drachwald Forest The Beastman tribe is fighting against the Chaos Fighting Gang in the Brass Mountains, right?" The fairy in the lake said with a smile, and she put her fingers on the table with her little jade hands clasped together.

"It's almost impossible. Then I need to fight for another ten years to accumulate military exploits, and see if Elector Boris is willing to make me a baron, and then accumulate thirty to fifty years of military exploits... maybe eighty. Years, see if you can be promoted to earl." Ryan reluctantly said: "It should be so, or longer, my lady, Su Liya, you all know how many people in the empire are discussing seniority. I have no qualifications, even if I stand. With a huge amount of credit, there are very few rewards left in the end."

The empire’s ascent system is like this. Although it is almost impossible for serfs to become aristocrats like Bretania, the common people of the empire often want to become aristocrats, but one generation’s efforts are not enough, at least three generations.

"There is not much left?" Su Liya leaned sweetly on her husband's chest, thinking that her luck was really good.

Looking at the happy look of the female knight, the fairy in the lake was uncomfortable, and snorted softly, and the pair of black silk legs under the table moved restlessly and changed her sitting position.

"The subordinate's credit is the superior's credit, and the boss's fault is the subordinate's responsibility." Lane said calmly: "The Empire and Nord do not have the teachings of chivalry and ladies. I have made countless achievements since I was eighteen. Finally, It's just that you have been promoted from the ranger knight to the kingdom knight. This is the result of the White Wolf Knights having been relatively fair and only valued the bravery."

Su Liya understood what Ryan meant, in the Empire, there is no such thing as knighthood.

"This is the empire." The expression on the face of the fairy in the lake was a little triumphant: "My champion, you didn't choose the wrong one."

"Yes, I think I didn't choose the wrong one." Ryan lowered his head. Although the Lake Fairy had many ideas and purposes for him, he had always believed that his alliance with the Lake Fairy was a win-win situation after all.

Only after truly experiencing this rigorous system did Ryan understand how difficult it is for civilians in the Empire or Nord to become aristocrats. Basically, if you start with a lowly tenant farmer, it is almost impossible for a generation to become aristocrat. This often requires The accumulation of three generations.

For example, the first generation of peasants joined the army, became a swordsman, and then was wounded in the battle and retired honorably with a large pension. Then his son can receive a certain degree of military education, relying on his father for his work. Springboard, directly enter the army to serve.

The second-generation child started as a soldier, won continuous recognition and military merits in some major battles, became a great swordsman, and enjoyed a double salary and a better environment to live in a barracks. Of course, he was already qualified to have his children Sent to the military academy to study and conduct military training.

The third generation finally came to fruition. Relying on the status and income of his father's great swordsman, he could become a knight's servant, purchase knight equipment, or inherit the position of his father's great swordsman, make contributions and be promoted, and finally become the lowest among the nobles. Level One-Cavaliers.

Of course, there are always some "special cases" in the world. Here is a normal situation, just like Huamei Silk, there will be a favored person or a particularly powerful person who will triple jump in a row. There are always many such people, but It cannot be treated as a normal situation.

So the other way around, what about kingdom knights like Ryan?

The title of the empire is even more difficult to climb. It is basically impossible for people from kingdom knights to barons to do it. Generally speaking, it takes three generations. It may take hundreds of years to accumulate from baron to earl, and there will be major wars. Ryan is particularly good at playing, this process should be relatively short, but just like Ryan complained, the accumulation of thirty years is the least.

Don't even think about it, the lord is a lord for the rest of his life.

"By the way, Su Liya, you haven't told me why the Duchess of Huameisi can't inherit the title of Duke even if she has children?" Ryan thought that this topic was too far away, and he held the plump female knight in his arms. He smiled and asked, "Huamisi's husband is not a nobleman?"

Ryan thought of the well-known "a drop of blood principle". In the U.S., if a person has a drop of black blood, he is considered to be a black person, and he will still be discriminated against. The children of nobles will be nobles.

"No, first of all, Hua Meisi has not married for life, and then, even if her husband is a nobleman, her children are still serfs and cannot inherit the title." Su Liya still shook her head: "The title of the Duke of Lyonasse is destined to be undesirable. "

"Why?!" Ryan was weird. Huameisi was already a noble, and she couldn't find another noble husband?

"Haha, you don't know anything about that, Ryan." The fairy in the lake smiled: "In Brittany, whether a person is a nobleman or not depends on the genealogy of him and his family."

"The genealogy of the family?"

"The lady is right. From this person to the genealogy of the entire family, if all his relatives are nobles within the five generations, then he is a noble, otherwise he is a serf." Suria used a spoon to scoop. I picked up a piece of beef and put it in Ryan’s bowl: "The Duke of Huameisi is a noble special-appointed by a lady and the king, but her father is a small tax official, and her mother is a shepherdess. She has only herself a noble. Her children are still serfs, and the madam’s grace is limited to her, and has nothing to do with her descendants."

"Hahahaha~" Ryan hid his face with his hands and smiled bitterly: "Madam, your rules are really strict."

"This is not my rule, it's the rule set by Arthur and his son Lewis." The fairy girl in the lake was afraid of Len's misunderstanding, she shook her head repeatedly: "This is not my scope. mortal."

Ryan expressed his understanding that the five serfs who had been promoted to nobles in Bretania's history had alarmed the fairies in the lake to some extent. Facing the goddess' oracle, the knight masters could not object.

"Well... then I should be considered a noble, my adoptive father is a noble, my godfather is a great noble, my father... may be the most noble noble." Ryan suddenly remembered something, he said to the fairy in the lake. "My lady, if I intend to give a small number of serfs a chance to be promoted to nobles, would you help me?"

"You want to start this head?" The fairy in the lake narrowed her eyes, her beautiful face still had a small smile: "This example is not easy to open."

"Ryan, I have discussed with my father, and my father and I will support you on this point!" Su Liya first expressed her attitude.

"The entire kingdom, no more than three places a year, grant those particularly outstanding serf soldiers, especially outstanding, how about it?" Ryan finally exposed his ambition, in front of his wife and the fairy in the lake: "I want to mobilize The enthusiasm of serfs always makes them have some expectations, and in the end you will check it out, madam."

"Yeah~" The fairy in the lake deliberately sold it, and then said: "My champion, do we still need to divide between each other? Since you think it's okay, then do it, and I will support you."

Seeing the fairy in the lake let go, Ryan felt relieved.

The insurmountable gap between nobility and serf must be broken.

This is the most important step to bring this kingdom to life!
