I seem to be an evil god - #844 - Chapter 842 Enough heirs
For others, choosing a companion is not a big problem. Liu Dao doesn’t have to go to such trouble and goes directly back to the room with Alfonso.
“What happened today is a bit strange.”
Sitting on the sofa, Alfonso’s first words were questions.
“Is there any wonder? There is a dispute between the two families. The Arthur family wants to annex the Aragon family and poison the previous baron. Now they are planning to kill the current one as well and support an obedient leader.”
Liu Dao leaned back in his chair indifferently. He was still thinking about the foundation of the Five Dragons.
“It’s just a common aristocratic dispute. Although it is surprising to have dozens of illegitimate children, it is also reasonable. Nobles with dozens of heirs are not uncommon.”
“Normal is the biggest problem, Liu Dao, don’t forget, the river of fate reveals that something major enough to affect the legendary level is about to happen here!”
Alfonso was worried, Liu Dao looked at him helplessly and closed his eyes without saying a word.
The core rule of role-playing is to disappear in the tide of fate with a suitable identity, and Alfonso obviously still regards himself as the guardian of the kingdom.
Not long after, Alfonso couldn’t bear it and went out to investigate. Liu Dao simply turned off his second body’s perception and started studying the tenth type.
Time passed and Alfonso did not come back for lunch. Liu Dao enjoyed his lunch while listening to the servants describe the grand occasion in the castle.
Many illegitimate children have lived in confusion as servants for a long time, and when they suddenly learn of their own life experience, they are immediately distraught.
What they didn’t dare to do or couldn’t do before can now be done, and many troubles will naturally arise.
In one morning alone, seven servants were dismissed. This was the result of Alfred’s restrictions. Then, several maids were forcibly abducted and became the new young master’s pillow wives.
Now the servants are all rushing to serve Liu Dao and the other three. At least the three of them will not fire the male servant because of a quarrel in the past, nor will they suddenly change their mind and want to let the maid sleep with them.
This is people’s fear of the unknown.
Liu Dao had no interest in paying attention to these farces and only regarded these news as a joke during lunch. After rejecting the servants’ earnest desire to serve, Liu Dao locked the door and closed his eyes to study the Tenth Type.
In the afternoon, there was a loud noise in the castle, and Liu Dao learned what happened from the servant who delivered dinner.
Freya stepped forward to stop the illegitimate children from persecuting the servants and severely injured the worst one. The loud noise heard in the afternoon was the sound of Freya slamming him to the ground.
Alfred appeared at the right time and informed the many illegitimate children of the consequences of failure in the selection.
As an unrecognized illegitimate child, there is only one consequence for failure in selection: being kicked out of the territory.
Among the many illegitimate children, more than 60% do not have a professional level. If these people are kicked out of the castle, their lives will be even worse than they are now.
After learning this news, the new young masters were no longer interested in showing off their rights and status, but were worried about tomorrow’s assessment.
Liu Dao was not surprised by this result and had no idea.
The old baron’s behavior of giving birth to more than thirty illegitimate children is inherently absurd, and from this absurd behavior, countless tragedies will inevitably occur.
And in this world where power determines everything, some people’s tragedies have even been doomed.
In the evening, Alfonso came back with enough news. He learned a lot of secrets during this afternoon’s exploration, and he wanted to share a lot with Liu Dao. However, Liu Dao’s response was:
Just help me remember it.
Liu Dao, who is obsessed with studying Type 10, has long put the succession of the title behind him, because the only thing that can really determine the outcome is strength.
The next day, at the gate of the castle, Liu Dao watched the servants carrying ten corpses away.
These ten corpses were only discovered this morning. They have a common identity: illegitimate children.
The dead were grooms, blacksmiths, study servants, and other candidates who had access to professional power. In other words, they had professional levels.
The deaths of these people did not cause any emotional fluctuations in Alfred.
He stood in front of the castle gate, looked at the 18 remaining heirs, and spoke calmly:
“Before we begin, at Miss Freya’s request, I would like to ask you one last time: Do you want to withdraw from this selection? Those who withdraw can return to their previous identities and continue to live in this castle.”
After Alfred said this, Freya looked expectantly at the many illegitimate children, especially those without professional ranks.
These people’s participation in the selection is just a fantasy, and the possibility of them inheriting the title is so low that it is impossible to see.
But after a minute, there was still no answer.
“Since no one wants to quit, I will now announce the content of the first assessment:
Go to the mountains and bring back a steppenwolf’s ear. Before sunset today, whoever brings the ear back will be able to participate in the second assessment. “
The content of the assessment was beyond the expectations of many people. They turned pale and wanted to question the quality, but Alfred obviously had no intention of paying attention to them.
After announcing the rules, Alfred returned to the castle with a calm face, leaving everyone who knew nothing about it.
“Malekiver, Bonnar, why don’t you choose to give up? You know this is impossible!”
Freya looked at the two illegitimate children questioningly. The two whom she called had grown up with Freya as servants, and later became gardeners and cooks in the castle.
The core reason why Freya begged Alfred was to persuade her two childhood friends to give up and give them a chance to regret.
The two of them calmly shook their heads at Freya. Even if they did not have any professional level, it did not prevent them from making a decision.
“We can’t go back.”
After that, the two of them went into the jungle together to hunt for an ultra-low-level alien species that had broken through the limitations of its own race and could kill ligers… Steppenwolf.
Soon, the remaining dozen or so people also set off. No one regretted, no one was timid or flinched.
“At least half of these people will stay in that mountain range.”
When everyone was almost gone, Alfred walked out of the castle again and whispered to Freya, who was stunned on the spot.
“But they went anyway.”
“After all, there is no way out. After becoming young masters, they can no longer go back. The only result of going back is to be ridiculed and suppressed, and they will regret their choice for the rest of their lives.”
Alfred spoke slowly, looking at Freya calmly and deeply.
“So they ran away? They didn’t go hunting Steppenwolf, but returned to their own land and became ordinary people?”
“No.
The consequences of escaping here are just as bad. Their land is in the villages and towns in our territory. When they return to the villages and towns, they will suffer no less criticism than in the castle. The final result will be to either leave their hometown or live in isolation.
unless……”
“Unless what?”
“Unless the next baron is willing to take them back in and provide shelter to these people.”
When Freya heard this, she thought of Liu Dao and Robert, thought of Robert’s arrogant habits and Liu Dao’s otherworldly indifferent face, and immediately clenched the sword in her hand.
“I will definitely give them shelter!”
