There is no cheat code for reincarnation? Then I will create one myself!

The mercenaries who were discussing something felt that the atmosphere behind them was not right. They all turned around or looked up at the same time, and saw a black-haired young man in a gorgeous blue suit walking steadily towards them.

That thin figure in the moonlight seemed to be engraved in the minds of all the members of the mercenary group like a soul, making them feel that "some people are indeed born noble."

"Gentlemen, if you have time, I would like to hire you to escort these children home. Please name your price."

Xiuyi walked up to the mercenaries alone, turned around with a calm expression, pointed at the gathered little ghosts, and told them his purpose.

While traveling during the day, Shuichi asked the little ghosts about their home addresses.

It should be the Blood God Cult's deliberate act. These little ghosts are all free people living in neighboring cities.

Why didn’t anyone steal the children from serfs’ homes?

Because serfs were the private property of their masters, stealing a serf's child was equivalent to stealing the property of the nobles.

All the serfs' harvests were the private property of their masters, and the masters would try their best to ensure the serfs' survival in order to obtain cheap labor.

However, despite this kind of exploitative conservation, the serfs were grateful to their masters and were willing to work like slaves for their masters of noble blood for generations to come.

According to their point of view, being a serf for the master means that you will have a stable income regardless of drought or flood, and you will not starve to death.

For example, in modern Canada there is a serial killer who has killed more than 60 people, both men and women. (Robert Pitton)

He runs a pig farm, and his way of destroying evidence is to cut up human bodies and feed them to pigs, or to give human flesh as pork to neighbors for free in the name of making good neighbors.

Since this murderer often held parties, treated Zhengfu's people to food, drinks and entertainment, and paid taxes on time, and the pig farm provided jobs for many people, every time someone reported him, the police would only conduct a symbolic search and then leave it alone.

what is the reason?

The reason is that the murderers mostly killed prostitutes and powerless marginalized people.

Such people are naturally discriminated against in society.

Even the United States.

If he dared to kill any rich girl with some background, he would not be able to get away with it for thirty years.

I guess he was arrested the next day.

So the question is, why among the 80 victims, none of them were children from wealthy families?

He is a murderer, not a moron.

In the eyes of the lords, free people are the most troublesome. Not only do they often evade taxes, but some of them also like to run around everywhere.

Once the free people left the lord's territory, the noble lords could no longer collect taxes from them.

But if we capture free citizens and make them slaves, the laws of the empire don’t allow it…it’s really annoying.

After all, strictly speaking, part of the taxes paid by free citizens must be submitted to the emperor of the empire.

So nominally, freemen would be protected by imperial law.

Still, some money is better than no money.

Therefore, the noble lords all hope to tie up all the law-abiding free people to work in their own territories. As for commercial activities... they will form their own caravans.

If you are a free citizen, just run a small business. Don't try to do big business if you don't have someone behind you.

"Dear young sir, Iron Wolf Kogas, the leader of the Iron Wolf Mercenary Group, salutes you! You just said you wanted to hire us? Is that true?" The bearded man smiled flatteringly and took two steps forward. He came in front of Xiuyi and asked with lowered eyebrows: "As honorable as you are, you are so kind... I am happy to serve you, but..."

Xiu Yi frowned when he heard [but]: "You name your price."

Sensing that Xiuyi's tone had turned bad, the bearded man quickly bent down to apologize: "It's not that we don't want to help you, but before you, our Iron Wolf Mercenary Group had already accepted commissions from other noble masters and was on the way to the mission location."

"I see."

Xiuyi's expression eased a little after hearing that.

People who value their promises are generally not bad.

"So, do you know where Logie Town is?"

"Logi Town." The bearded man thought for a moment and said, "I remember that I went there once ten years ago. It is at least two hundred kilometers or almost three hundred kilometers away from here. If we want to go to Logi Town, we will pass through the territories of fourteen different lords on the way."

Each lord's fiefdom will not be circular, and some areas with rich resources will become the subject of contention between two or even more lords.

They claimed that a certain area was their territory and strictly prohibited other nobles from interfering.

If Xiuyi wants to go back to Logi Town, he also needs to consider taking a detour.

After all, suddenly appearing at the battle site of multiple forces... is somewhat impolite.

Generally, a knight's fiefdom is a village, a baron's and a viscount's fiefdom is a small town, and only an earl can have a city-level fiefdom.

That’s not all, there are many nobles who don’t have any fiefdoms at all.

Theoretically, if the fiefdom is lost, the noble title will also be revoked.

But the truth is that nobles without fiefs are not special, because there are many reasons for losing fiefs.

Moreover, there is no such thing as the Edict of Enfeoffment in the Moshustan Empire where the titles are reduced from generation to generation.

Even if the earl's son does not inherit the family's fiefdom, there are still ways for him to obtain the title of baron.

So there are actually quite a lot of nobles who don’t have fiefdoms.

"Well, let's do this. You take us to the human settlement, and we'll take care of the rest." Xiuyi took out ten silver coins from his pocket, flicked his finger, and the ten silver coins drew a parabola and magically flew smoothly into the palm of Iron Wolf Kogas, who claimed to be the leader of the Iron Wolf Mercenary Group: "Of course, I'll pay." (The currency is unified, Gold Dragon, Silver Wolf, Bronze Sparrow, 100:1. One Silver Wolf is equal to 100 RMB.)

The display of wealth and exquisite skills stunned Iron Wolf Kogas on the spot.

It was the first time he met an employer who paid money so readily. What was even more terrifying was that the control he had over throwing out ten silver wolves and letting the coins smoothly enter the other party's palm... was simply inhuman!

Even though the other party was just a child, Xiuyi's calm demeanor and the means he displayed made Iron Wolf Kogas dare not act presumptuously.

You have to know that their Iron Wolf Mercenary Group has more than a dozen ferocious and strong men present, while the little guy on the opposite side can only rely on himself from beginning to end.

But he remained calm and took every step with ease.

Iron Wolf Kogas once again sighed in his heart that some bloodlines are truly born noble.

With his right hand, feeling the touch of ten silver wolves rubbing against each other in his palm, Iron Wolf Kogas hurriedly smiled and nodded: "You are so polite. In fact, even if you don't have money, we are willing to help you, honorable young sir."

"This is a deposit. If you can get us to a safe place, I will give you an additional reward."

Reward. Xiuyi used a condescending word like reward instead of business terms like final payment.

Iron Wolf Kogas agreed even more after hearing this: "On behalf of all members of the Iron Wolf Mercenary Group, I would like to thank you for your reward, honorable young sir."

In this way, the Iron Wolf Mercenaries became Xiuyi's temporary guard.
