Chapter 215: A Castle Full of Talented People
He followed the spiral staircase and left the high-level watchtower.
It was indeed not convenient to go up and down from a height of 40 meters. Although there was an elevator-like hanging basket in the middle of the pillar, Kant still chose to walk down on two legs in consideration of the swaying feeling of the air.
With the physical qualities of a Swadian knight, the tens of thousands of wooden stairs were not a challenge for Kant.
Soon, they reached the bottom.
Two Swadian Knight holding a Warhammer and a thick kite-shaped s.h.i.+eld were guarding the door.
High-level sentry towers and large bell towers were forbidden areas.
Ordinary people were not qualified to enter or leave.
Of course, Kant, as the Lord, was naturally different. Seeing him walk out from inside, the two Swadian Knight immediately bowed their heads and placed their right hands on their chests. They bowed very solemnly and greeted him, “My lord.”
“Mm.” Kant nodded to them kindly.
Looking at the east side of the street, Fatis was walking in front, bringing a group of people over.
Behind him was a vast and mighty group.
The surrounding patrolling soldiers and the pa.s.sing civilians all subconsciously whistled. With an infatuated smile on their faces, they stared straight at the more than 1,000 newcomers like hungry wolves who had discovered a lamb.
Even the Vaegir marksman at the top of the council hall stretched out their bodies and looked at the newcomers with curiosity.
They were all women.
Women rarely seen in the “Drondheim” castle.
Although many of them were middle-aged women with a wide waist and a fat body, for these civilians and soldiers who had not seen women for a long time, the arrival of these women undoubtedly added a bit of charm.
No, this was a wrong description. There was no charm added to the castle.
It was just a group of male hormones secreted.
Fatis had a strict personality.
He turned his head slightly and swept his gaze over this group of soldiers and civilians who were not in good status. He could not help but let out a soft cough.
“Cough cough.”
The expressions of the surrounding soldiers and civilians instantly changed slightly.
Each and every one of them had an awkward expression on their faces. They silently nodded to the women who were looking at their surroundings timidly. They still hurriedly continued with their work, but their spirits were even higher.
“Ha.” Rolf chuckled softly. “Bandake, you must have a lot of followers.”
Rolf glanced at Bandake, who was around his age, but was clearly more handsome and mature. Rolf could not help but say with jealousy, “I really want to use a knife to scratch your old face.”
“The prerequisite is that I will shoot a crossbow through your head.” Bandake patted the heavy crossbow on his waist as if he was demonstrating his power.
“Hmph.” Rolf shrugged and snorted coldly.
He had never gotten along with these people who were conceited and thought they were good people.
Looking at Fathis in front of him, especially this former wandering knight, many unpleasant experiences had happened. Now, he actually had to work under this young fellow, and his t.i.tle was not even as high as his, it really made Rolf feel a little indignant in his heart.
But he did not flare up. Rolf was not a fool, so he naturally knew what this place was.
Looking at the street entrance in front of him.
Rolf said softly, “That is, Lord Kant, right?” He raised his eyebrows slightly. That young and dignified appearance made him lower his head guiltily, looking at Bandake beside him, he tried to find something to say. “It makes me feel the aura of a king. It’s really shocking.”
“Yes.” Bandake nodded as well. This was the first time he had met Kant, and he was just as nervous. He couldn’t help but swallow his saliva, trying his best to calm his emotions and make himself more stable.
“Relax, guys.”
Fatis reminded the two of them in a calm tone.
He brought them to Kant, and the group of people dismounted and bowed respectfully, “Lord Kant, this is Rolf and Bandake from the continent of Caradia, as well as a complete trade caravan. There are also 1,000 women from towns and villages who have heard of your reputation and want to seek refuge with you.”
“Welcome.” Kant smiled, expressing his approval of the vast crowd.
Drondheim, who had just become a castle, needed a lot of human resources.
Kant would not refuse them to join.
He told Fatis, “Arrange their accommodation and food first. You will take these ladies to the residential area, and after they are allocated rooms, settle down as soon as possible. Then, get someone to properly arrange them into the vacancies of various posts. As soon as possible, fill all the posts in the castle with people, and get them all up and running.”
“Understood, I will take care of it properly.” Fatis nodded and turned around to leave. He led his men and shouted at the thousands of women as they walked towards the streets of the residential area. There were many vacant rooms waiting for their owners to move in.
Fatis had always been a reliable person.
Kant nodded to himself when he saw the many women walking towards the residential area in an orderly manner.
These immigrants from the cities and the refugees from the countryside seemed to be of good quality.
“They are all experts in the workshops.”
Kant had already decided on their jobs.
Women were naturally more attentive and serious than men.
In the technical work of the workshops, their attentiveness and talent could be put to the best use. Therefore, in the castle, such as the Sugar Workshop, the salt workshop, the linen workshop, and so on, they were all trained by the craftsmen guild to become qualified female craftsmen, they were professional and excellent full-time craftsmen.
As for the men, they would devote themselves to the farm, the blacksmith shop, and the weapons workshop to do manual labor, making the entire “Drondheim” castle completely busy and prosperous.
“Lord Kant.”
Rolf and Bandake bowed respectfully to Kant.
This was the first time the two sides met. They didn’t want to stay in front of this Lord of the continent of Caradia, whose reputation had spread everywhere, and they all wanted to show their excellent first impression.
Even the scoundrel, the n.o.ble Rolf, had a very respectful expression, and his tone was very humble.
“h.e.l.lo.”
Kant nodded. He had long understood the two of them.
The game impression from his previous life.
He walked towards the council hall. At the same time, Kant said to the trade caravan that was still waiting respectfully behind him, “Go to the trade caravan’s base and settle down. Tomorrow, there will be a trade caravan from Reyvadin. We will talk in detail.”
“Understood.” The leader of the trade caravan nodded respectfully.
At the same time, a knight walked over and led the trade caravan’s members and guards towards the south city gate.
The trade caravan’s base was set up outside the south city gate, close to the city wall.
It was an independent building with walls, courtyards, and warehouses. The whole building was like a rectangular courtyard house, covering an area of nearly 2,000 square meters. However, the warehouses took up a lot of s.p.a.ce and seemed to be able to accommodate at least five trade caravans.
Trade Caravan’s base. This term was very appropriate.
However, Kant had not come over to take a look yet.
Manide was in charge of the business side.
If Kant’s estimation was correct, Manide, who was heading to the Stone Pa.s.s, would return with the caravan at the beginning of the next month. Therefore, he would temporarily put down the arrangements for this trade caravan.
There were specializations in the field, and Manide could handle business problems with ease.
Just like Rolf who was good at leading troops to raid villages and trade caravan.
And Bandake was able to command crossbowmen and display the strongest combat strength of these troop cla.s.s.
The two of them now respectfully followed Kant into the Council Hall.
The first floor of the castle-level Council Hall had already been turned into a wide Lord’s Hall. Inside the slightly narrow iron-clad thick door were two rows of ten thick stone pillars and a long table with white linen placed in the middle.
This was a long table and chair made of high-quality wood. Not only were there patterns carved on it, but there were also a few silver accessories wrapped around it.
The main seat was raised by half a meter, allowing one to directly see the entire situation.
This reflected the ident.i.ty of the owner of the main seat.
This was Kant’s position alone. No one would raise any objections because as Lord Kant, who was respected by the entire continent of Caradia and even other worlds, it was only natural that he should have a high status in society.
Kant did not decline and directly sat in his own seat.
Rolf and Bandake did not sit down. They stood respectfully across the long table.
Because Kant had not spoken.
Seeing their reserved looks, Kant chuckled, he waved his hand and said, “Since you have come here, you are my dependable subordinates. There’s no need to be so formal. Sit Down. In the future, I will still need to rely on you to deal with government affairs and trouble for me. It’s not good to be too distant. It will affect the communication.”
“Thank you, Lord Kant.” Rolf and Bandake looked at each other and thanked each other respectfully. Then, they pulled out the seats on the opposite side of the long table and sat down.
Although Kant said it lightly, it was really difficult to sit up.
They did not want to sit down casually.
Showing their inferiority at the right time was a form of respect for Lord Kant. They all understood that this kind of etiquette regarding the n.o.ble was not those country b.u.mpkins who had just come out from the villages or farms.
Kant smiled and did not care about the two’s formality. He opened his mouth to start a conversation.
In fact, they were not unfamiliar with each other.
In the continent of Caradia, these heroic NPCs also had a small reputation.
After all, they were npcs who could follow players. After the continent of Caradia became the real world, there were no players, but they had shown outstanding talent. In terms of business, military, medical skills, commanding troops, engineering, and other technologies, they were far superior to ordinary people, they were valued by the king and the n.o.ble.
A few topics about Caradia started, and the relations.h.i.+p between them became warmer.
Rolf and Bandake knew each other from the beginning.
Although they were not happy all the time, it was not to the point of falling out. They could still chat under Kant’s lead.
Soon, Fatis also returned to the Council Hall.
He reported to Kant, “Lord, the ladies have been arranged.”
“Take a seat.” Kant nodded in satisfaction. He waved at him and said, “Take a rest first. We’ll continue our in-depth exchange during lunch. Now that my castle has two more talents, we can solve more problems.”
Rolf and Bandake lowered their heads humbly again. “You flatter me.”
