Chapter 29.1: It Was Warm in the City That Year (3)
ᅠ
Connections!
ᅠ
In this world, connections were many times more important. Just as I’m feeling in the city now. . .
ᅠ
After all, wasn’t joining Eldans’ trade caravan to forge a bond with this trading company?
ᅠ
????????????????????????
ᅠ
Marcel city’s trading company branch manager, Iaon, listened to Eldans’ report with a curious expression. True to his feline beastman nature, his ears and tail twitched attentively.
ᅠ
“A good meeting, was it?”Ñøv€l--ß1n hosted the premiere release of this chapter.
ᅠ
“Yes, thanks to St. Ruoak’s care.”
ᅠ
“So. . . what do you think is the reason?”
ᅠ
Unperturbed by Iaon’s sudden question, Eldans understood its meaning.
ᅠ
Knights who were not the firstborn and thus did not receive a fiefdom fell into several categories.
ᅠ
If they were nobles with a good family background, they would be appointed by another family connected to their own and serve as knights. Even without a fiefdom, being able to act as a knight within the family’s protection was a great fortune.
ᅠ
Of course, this was in the best-case scenario. . .
ᅠ
If a knight failed to establish themselves, they would roam, participating in tournaments or hunting monsters to build fame and seek opportunities. Occasionally, spirited knights would approach nobles to serve under them, but this was rare.
ᅠ
And if they fell further?
ᅠ
They would become rogue knights, wandering battlefields with mercenaries and turning into bandits.
ᅠ
Johan was not from a prestigious noble family. Otherwise, he wouldn’t be wandering like this. It was clear he came from a humble or fallen noble family. . .
The problem was that typically, their relationship wasn’t good!
ᅠ
Few knights viewed trading companies favorably.
ᅠ
To the knights, merchants were greedy and obsessed with gold, and to the merchants, knights were monsters filled only with vanity in their heads.
ᅠ
But if Johan, as Eldans said, is a knight who does not consider it shameful to be thoughtful and follow the words of merchants. . .
ᅠ
Certainly, this connection was worth investing in.
ᅠ
“Alright. I will report positively to the higher-ups.”
ᅠ
“Thank you.”
ᅠ
“I trust Mr. Eldans’ judgment. That settles the matter of the knight. . . Is the situation in the Empire really that bad?”
ᅠ
“Yes. It seems a major war is about to break out.”
ᅠ
“As expected.”
ᅠ
The Emperor crushed several nobles as an example to curb the anti-Emperor factions. Although the charges were plausible, everyone knew they were nonsensical.
ᅠ
And this overreach angered the feudal lords.
ᅠ
It was more than just expressing dissatisfaction; the sight of hiring mercenaries and diplomats coming and going was ominous.
ᅠ
He may flaunt being an Emperor chosen by the gods, but in reality, he was elected by the votes of the prelates. His power was not much different from that of a great lord.
ᅠ
In such a situation, crossing the line was bound to infuriate the nobles. It wasn’t that the nobles lacked swords to rebel.
ᅠ
“Perhaps we should advise the merchants of our guild against going there. The vicinity is already troubled.”
ᅠ
“?”
