Chapter Five, Choice.

Suren's arrival did not attract the attention of others. Guided by the waiter, Suren went to the room on the second floor, rested briefly, and then went downstairs directly.

So when you see a knight wearing ancestral armor on the battlefield, don't be surprised at how much they value family honor or tradition. In fact, they just can't afford to buy new ones.

Very soon, a crispy and tender roasted lamb chop was brought up. Suren tasted it and the flavor was indeed good, at least much better than eating outdoors.

Suren now has more than six thousand gold nars in his hands. These coins can only arm a fully armed warrior team of fifty people at most. Of course, if they are used to recruit militiamen who are only equipped with a spear and leather armor, they can recruit five hundred or even more. However, the gap between the two sides is estimated that those fully armed warriors can easily defeat these militiamen with just one charge.

If you are unwilling to do any of these, there is still one option left: become a knight-level powerhouse and swear allegiance to a nobleman. Then you can obtain the title of knight and a knight's manor. Of course, as a knight of this nobleman, you must serve him for life and help him in his battles.

Catch the thrown silver nar, the innkeeper glanced at it and smiled as he collected it, "No problem! This is your beer. As for food, we have grilled lamb chops, mushroom and potato stewed beef, and pork pies. These are all signature dishes of our inn. What would you like to eat?"

After devouring the meal voraciously, Suren satisfiedly took a sip of beer and leaned against the table, listening to the people in the hotel bragging while digesting.

Please wait a moment, your meal will be here soon!

One order of grilled lamb chops, please!

After entering the city of Kalt, Suren separated from the caravan. The caravan continued on to the trading market, while Suren prepared to go to the inn.

High profits naturally come with high risks. Expanding into the wilderness requires a huge amount of resources, and it is not only inhabited by jackals, wolves, dog-headed people, and goblins, but also trolls, ogres, orcs, lizardmen, orcs, and barbarian tribes, and even dragons. With a slight misstep, the territory can be invaded, and all the substantial investments made in the early stages will go down the drain. If luck is not on your side, you may even become food for the wilderness monsters. Moreover, there are trolls, ogres, orcs, lizardmen, orcs, and barbarian tribes, and even dragons.

Put the luggage in the room, Suren took his noble emblem, casually picked up the long sword and walked outside the inn, crossed the muddy streets, and came to the bustling main street. He found a sharp-edged stone on the roadside, skillfully rubbed his feet on it a few times, and wiped off the mud from the soles of his shoes.

Suren is not staying in any high-end hotel. Most of the people here are mercenaries. The tavern is almost full at this time, with the sound of drinking, playing cards, chatting, and the sharp scolding of the maidservants all mixed together, creating a lively atmosphere. These mercenaries who travel around need to vent after completing their missions and returning safely.

SuLun has no other choice but to purchase the Pioneer Order if the first, second, third, and fifth options are not suitable.

The second option is to join the army and gain significant merits on the battlefield, and as long as you don't die in battle, when it's time for rewards and recognition, you can be ennobled as a baron by the king and granted a piece of land.

They brought news from various places. Although many of the news were just boasting from those mercenaries, there were still some useful ones, such as local prices and information about some surrounding cities.

His destination this time is the Noble Council of Kalt City. The Pioneer Order can only be purchased here. In addition to the Pioneer Order, noble status can also be donated here. Of course, this noble status does not come with land or a title, it can only be considered an honorary title. However, even so, there are many wealthy merchants willing to spend money to buy it.

Suren came here to obtain a fiefdom and a title. As a noble, there are many ways to obtain a fiefdom and a title. The simplest way is to be born into a good family and directly inherit the land and title from your father when you come of age, of course, this requires you to be the eldest son.

He doesn't want to work hard and risk his life, only to be sent to a remote small town in the end. Don't think it's impossible. With the arrogance of those aristocrats, the probability of this outcome is as high as 99%.

As for higher-level plate armor, the price for a full set of armor can reach four to five hundred gold naels. Only knights can afford such finely crafted plate armor. Moreover, due to the exorbitant price, most knights inherit their plate armor.

Ordinary iron tools are not expensive. A hatchet costs one silver nar, while a saw is a bit more expensive at two silver nar. However, military-grade refined iron weapons are very expensive.

The third method, this approach has a high level of operability. First, you need to be handsome and good-looking, and then you need to have a good physique. It is best to reach the level of a knight. Find a countess who has a title and a territory but whose husband has passed away. If you can successfully marry her, then you will have all the titles and territories. Originally, Suren had already found a target, but because of the matter with Count Karen, he could only bid farewell to the countess with tears.

Bill, where did you die? Quickly bring this gentleman a serving of grilled lamb chops!

As for participating in wars, those who have made meritorious achievements in wars and obtained fiefs and titles. The Kingdom of Florence has been established for several hundred years, and most of its land has been granted to others. Even if Surun has made enough military achievements, the land rewarded to him will not be significant. There is a high probability that it will be just a small town with a very small area.

Suren naturally does not want to become someone else's vassal. Once he pledges loyalty to someone else, it is not just for one generation, but for all his descendants from then on. As long as they inherit his title, they will become vassals of this noble. This is not just selling oneself for a lifetime, but selling off one's descendants for countless generations. Of course, this kind of arrangement is very attractive to commoners.

A glass of beer! Give me some food as well. Suren approached the bar and casually tossed a silver nar.

Pushing open the door of the hotel, a lively and noisy sound wrapped in the smell of beer rushed towards me. The air was somewhat murky. It is now in the afternoon, and the hotel's business has just begun.

A military standard longsword is worth ten gold nars. It is made using the hundred-fold steel craftsmanship and does not have any extraordinary enchantments. It is infused with some black steel to enhance the weapon's toughness. It is slightly cheaper than the price in the city of Calen.

The fourth type is the Pioneer Decree. You can go to the noble council, purchase a pioneer decree, and lead your own people to conquer a piece of wilderness. As long as you persist and succeed, you can become a noble of the territory, and the territory will be much larger than that of other nobles.

A half-body chain mail made using ring buckle technique, with the same material of refined steel and without any enchantments. The price is 70 gold nars, which is equivalent to three years of savings for an average household. The price of a regular building in the outer city of the city of Kalt is 100 gold nars.

Every year, the Noble Council can earn a large amount of gold coins for the kingdom, which is also an important source of funds for the royal family. The gold coins obtained from the sale of pioneer orders and honorary noble status by the Noble Council are divided equally between the royal family and local nobles.
