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

"hiss!!"

Viscount Horcas took a deep breath and contributed his part to global warming.

He stared at Xiuyi blankly, unable to speak for a long time.

Just when Xiuyi was worried that the owner of the castle had gone insane, the Viscount suddenly made a solemn invitation to Xiuyi.

"Mr. Shuichi, are you free tonight? After dinner, I hope to invite you to meet someone."

"Can you tell me who you want me to meet?"

"Master Bokolanqi is a learned, gentle, and benevolent wise man. He is a scholar sent by the Society of Knowledge to stay in Boulder Town."

The Knowledge Society here is not the one in Bengtieli, but an organization of scholars in this world.

Learning has always been a privilege of the nobility and the wealthy class. The original intention of the poor to have children is more to have an extra labor force in the family and to provide for their own retirement.

The Institute of Knowledge has always been committed to enlightening the people, but unfortunately basic education is firmly controlled by the Church of Light. Even if the Institute of Knowledge wants to run the school for free... sorry, the Church of Light also provides free teaching.

Moreover, their ability to get down to the grassroots level is stronger than that of Boshixue.

The Society of Knowledge is composed of scholars who do not believe in God, but believe in science.

This mode of thinking is bound to contradict the deeply rooted theory of theocracy, so the Academy of Knowledge can only take the high-end route, and the bottom-level path is almost completely blocked.

This also caused many poor children who originally had the opportunity to become great scientists to lose their chance to turn things around.

What’s even more tragic is that these poor children have no idea that there is a group of people working hard to enlighten the people…

Although once the Confucian Academy becomes truly big, the emergence of academic cliques is inevitable, but... that is a matter for the future.

The Society of Knowledge is at odds with the Church of Light, but due to political considerations, while the Society of Knowledge is supported by the royal family, it is also under hidden suppression.

The Bozhi Society was forced to take the elite route, and the lack of people made it impossible for them to achieve results at the grassroots level.

They could only reluctantly send a scholar to each town-level unit to assist the local lord in managing the territory.

It is equivalent to the lord's think tank, and the kind that may not be welcomed... After all, the state religion of the Moshustan Empire is the Church of Light, and the Institute of Knowledge is fundamentally competing with the Church of Light for business.

One said he wanted to believe in God, and the other said he only believed in science... Both sides were restrained as they didn't draw their knives when they met.

Judging from the current situation alone, it is almost impossible for the Confucian Society to overthrow the Church of Light at the grassroots level.

Because the Institute of Knowledge can only send one scholar with certain academic achievements to the town-level unit at most, but the Church of the God of Light has already built churches in every village with a population of thousands.

Although there are usually only one to three people staying behind in the village-level churches, this control is indeed stronger than Boshi Xuejie.

The nobles control the upper-class resources, and the Church of Light brainwashes the lower-class people, and everyone actually cooperates very happily.

The prerequisite is that the royal family should not think about overthrowing theocracy every few generations, and it would be better if the imperial power is supreme.

But then again, it was precisely because of the royal family's "undying evil intentions" that the scholars of the Society of Knowledge were not burned alive as heretics.

While Shuichi was talking to Viscount Hocas, the mercenaries tried the quality of the goblins and everyone thought they were very weak.

But after the goblins found that they could not escape, they did show an extremely ferocious fighting will, a bit like a berserker.

The goblins here were indeed a little different from what Shuichi knew.

Even the goblins in the Goblin Slayer world will beg for mercy or hide when they cannot defeat the enemy.

But the goblins in this world are not like this. At least when they know there is nowhere to hide, they will not run away, but fight back desperately.

Of course, if the goblins think they can escape with a little effort, they don't mind competing with their companions to see who can run faster.

Therefore, the goblins' fighting spirit depends entirely on whether they can escape with their lives when they are at a disadvantage.

After Shuichi and Viscount Hocas agreed to meet a scholar named Bocolanchi after dinner, the two tacitly stopped talking.

The mercenaries were quite interested in goblins and killed several of them in less than ten minutes.

If Xiuyi hadn't suggested that these goblins might still be useful, Viscount Hocas would probably have watched the remaining ten goblins being skinned and dismembered by the mercenaries.

At dinner, Viscount Horcas did prepare a buffet to welcome the mercenary group.

To put it in one sentence, there is enough meat and enough wine.

Although mercenary groups are indeed vibrant civil society organizations, mercenaries have one advantage: they rarely kill their peers without payment.

It’s like when Kog’Maw defeated more than 20 mercenaries by himself before, but after the goblins appeared, those mercenaries just ran to watch the goblins as if nothing had happened and ignored Kog’Maw at all.

The same thing happened during dinner, when the mercenaries took turns pouring wine for Kog'Gaz, saying things like "It's no big deal that you just beat me," and that he should drink more than he could.

It is worth mentioning that after seeing the goblins, the leaders of the mercenary groups seemed to have taken a reassurance pill and none of them had any intention of giving up the mission.

As for the problem of Viscount Hocas falsifying the mission...it was solved by adding money.

In consideration of the fact that each team would be given ten Silver Wolves as compensation based on the number of people killed, the mercenary leaders generously chose to collectively lose their memory.

Although they were enjoying the food and wine, Xiuyi felt very bored.

He mixed in with the crowd, holding his glass of milk, and felt out of place.

Viscount Horcas noticed his embarrassment, walked up to him with a red wine glass, clinked glasses with him, and asked him kindly: "Have you eaten? If you have, why don't we go see Master Bocolanqi now."

"Okay." Xiuyi drank the milk in the glass in one gulp, wiped his mouth with a napkin, and looked up at Viscount Hocas, meaning that I am ready and can set off to meet the master at any time.

Viscount Hocas confirmed once again through Xiuyi's eating behavior that Xiuyi had indeed not been exposed to the etiquette of the nobility. It was basically certain that he was not a legitimate son of the nobility, but at most an illegitimate child.

But... this is actually better.

Viscount Horcas turned to look at Kogas who was drinking with many mercenaries and asked, "Do we need to call him over?"

"No need, just treat it as a test." Xiuyi saw that Kog'gas was drinking so happily and didn't want to disturb his interest.

However, Viscount Hocas heard a lot from Shuichi's words.

Why test Cho'Gath?

Because Kog'gas and Shuichi haven't worked together well enough, it's obvious that the two have not worked together for a long time, and they haven't reached the level of true knowing each other well.

In addition, this sentence also indirectly confirms the subordinate relationship between the two. Kogas is Shuichi's servant, not an employment relationship.

Also, as Shuichi's bodyguard, Kog'gas was derelict in his duty by staying away from Shuichi to drink with other mercenaries.

If he didn't realize it when Shuichi left his sight, it would be the greatest dereliction of duty.

But considering that Kog'gas had always been a mercenary leader and had never received any guard training... then his behavior of only caring about pleasure at this time was not unforgivable.

It can be entirely attributed to the problem of not recognizing the identity change in time.

I believe Kog'Gath will improve in the future if Shuichi is willing to give him a chance.

Finally, after Xiuyi comes back, Kog'gas's condition will also be an important factor in measuring whether he can be used.

It’s not scary for people to make mistakes. Who can be without mistakes in this world?

What is truly scary is that one does not realize that he has made a mistake, and yet does not repent even when he knows it. This is a major criterion for becoming a useless person.

If Kogaze is drunk when Shuichi comes back from discussing things, then this person will be useless.

Because he completely forgot about his duties and only cared about his own enjoyment.

There are many people in history who look good on weekdays, but in fact, they can never be trusted with important matters, such as Chunyu Qiong. (Chunyu Qiong, in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Chunyu Qiong was one of the Eight Commandants of Xiyuan during the reign of Emperor Ling of Han, and later became a general under Yuan Shao. During the Battle of Guandu, he guarded Wuchao, Yuan Shao's army, and looked after Yuan Shao's food and supplies. When Cao Cao sent troops to attack, he was drunk and unable to command the enemy, resulting in his defeat and capture. Yuan Shao's food and supplies were burned, which directly led to Yuan Shao's defeat. In history, Chunyu Qiong seemed to have fought hard and was captured, and later died at the hands of Cao Cao.)
