Chapter 253 Noble Education Team
"In order to rectify the bad habits of noble children and cultivate the moral talents of the new generation of nobles, a noble education team is specially established to provide local noble children with opportunities to strengthen their bodies and learn military skills and etiquette. Special emphasis is placed on: this activity is entirely voluntary and there is no forced participation. The highest official of the Southwest Governorate, John Hohenzollern."
On the wall next to a city gate in Mont-de-Marsan, a group of people were looking at a newly posted notice.
"What's written here? I can't read and I don't quite understand. What is the Noble Education Team? What is the Governor of the Southwest?" A farmer who had just entered the city glanced at the notice and was asked by a citizen next to him.
Because of the dirt and sweat smell coming from the other person, the citizen first moved aside, and then explained with a slightly disdainful tone:
"I can tell you're a country bumpkin from another place. A few days ago, a governor came from the king, and he is in charge of Mont-de-Marsan and the surrounding areas. Maybe he thought the nobles here have nothing to do, so he created this thing to bring the sons of the nobles together for training."
"You mean to say that this noble governor has locked up the sons of those nobles together?" The peasant said happily after hearing this:
"The sons of those noble lords are too domineering. They curse and beat people at every turn. Some even buy things without paying. It's just right to lock them up so that we can live our own lives better."
"Wake up, there is no such good thing." The citizen said and pointed to the notice behind him:
"It says on it, 'Voluntary Participation', so people don't have to go if they don't want to."
"Who cares? If one of them goes, it will lighten the burden and it won't do any harm to us."
As the two were chatting, the sound of horse hooves was heard from outside the city gate, followed by several people in gorgeous hunting costumes riding into the city.
When the leading nobleman saw a group of people gathered near the city gate, he dismounted and wanted to find out what was going on. After his men drove away the crowd, the nobleman carefully read the notice above, and then suddenly laughed out loud.
"What a bullshit aristocratic education team. Whoever wants to go can go. I, Master Ike, will never go."
After saying this, he looked at the crowd around him and said arrogantly:
"I know some of you are eager for me to go. I admit that I did some things to you, but isn't it normal for you lowly people to obey me, a descendant of noble blood? Go ask around in the city. No matter whether it's the officials or you lowly people, whoever sees me must bow and salute!"
As he was saying this, a plain white carriage stopped behind the city gate. A knight in silver-white wolf-helmet armor and two sergeants in full armor got out of the carriage and walked straight towards Ike.
"Hello, are you Master Ike?" The White Wolf Knight walked up behind Ike and asked politely, patting him on the shoulder. Ike turned around and looked at the White Wolf Knight, who was a head taller than him, and said unforgivingly:
"Open your eyes and take a good look. Will there be another Master Ike in Monde Marsan?"
"That's good." The White Wolf Knight said and continued:
"Governor John invites you to join the aristocratic education team he founded. Please be sure to go."
After saying that, the White Wolf Knight took Master Ike's arm and walked towards the carriage without looking back.
"Stop, stop, stop! Who are you? How dare you do this to me? I tell you, my father is Baron Ike. Baron, you know, I will make you, a pariah, pay the price!" Master Ike was dragged towards the carriage step by step by the White Wolf Knight's huge force. However, his anger prevented him from making rational judgments. He could only vent his anger by constantly cursing.
But soon, the White Wolf Knight used another extremely effective method to successfully shut him up.
"Snapped!"
A crisp and powerful slap hit Master Ike's face. The sudden slap and pain made Ike close his mouth unconsciously, and then he screamed madly:
"My father never hit me!"
Seeing this, the White Wolf Knight had no choice but to stop and slap Master Ike several times. After Ike was carried into the carriage like a dead pig, the White Wolf Knight said to him:
"Baron Ike is at the embassy. I can't come to you without his consent."
The carriage left the city gate in a flash, leaving behind a large crowd of onlookers.
"Didn't you say it was voluntary? Why are you arresting people?"
"Didn't you hear? The noble masters are also at the embassy. I guess they agree. Then the opinions of these sons are not that important."
"That is to say, we won't have to see those noble young masters for some time to come. That's a really good thing."
Inside the embassy, John was meeting with a group of nobles from Mont-de-Marsan. There were more than 50 nobles in the entire city of Mont-de-Marsan. All of them had their territories near Mont-de-Marsan and they would generally only return to their territories when collecting taxes.
With John's promise of guaranteed promotion and job assignment as well as the guarantee of Matt, Karin and others, all the nobles unanimously agreed to let their children attend the aristocratic education team for further studies. After all, although Mondemarsan is the capital of the southwest region, it is still too small compared to the entire Southwest Governor's Territory. If their children can leave Mondemarsan and become officials of the Southwest Governor's Office, it will definitely be better than their current situation of relying on their past achievements.
After seeing off the nobles, John began to enjoy the local specialty - fried lamb chops with herbs.
The so-called vanilla is made by chopped garlic, mint and wild celery, mixing them evenly with egg liquid and butter, then spreading them on the lamb chops. After frying for 20 minutes, you can serve it and enjoy it.
Just after John finished his lunch, a White Wolf Knight reported at the door:
"Sir, a White Wolf Knight in charge of the security of the territory said he has something important to report to you."
"What's going on? Did the Lana people break in?"
John stood up and walked towards the hall. When he arrived, he found a White Wolf Knight kneeling on one knee waiting for his arrival, and next to him there were several people being pinned to the ground by soldiers.
"What's going on?" John asked.
"Sir, the situation is like this. Didn't you choose the guild in the territory under my jurisdiction to build the military camp? After receiving your order, I immediately rushed over."
"However, as I was passing by, two unidentified men rode towards me at full speed. The one chasing behind them was the guild leader, Pav. He was riding his horse and shouting, 'Catch the robbers!' So I led my men to immediately pull the two men off their horses."
"This was originally a trivial matter. I wanted to take the two robbers back to the prison in Mont-de-Marsan, but Pav insisted that he handle it himself. Seeing his nervous look, I felt that something seemed to be wrong, so I interrogated the two robbers separately."
At this point, the White Wolf Knight paused, then said seriously:
"According to them, the so-called construction guild is fake and was founded by a group of deserters."
