190: Chapter 121, Unexpected_3 190: Chapter 121, Unexpected_3 If you just want to exchange for a small quantity of Life Essence, there are plenty of people who would cut you a deal; you can completely ignore my words.
However, the Koslow family is thriving in numbers, and not to mention just a few doses of Life Essence, even dozens or hundreds might not be enough to distribute.
Although they belong to the same family, the current Koslow family, is more like a Bloodline based coalition of interests.
The branches do not belong to each other and nobody can command anyone.
Otherwise, if dozens of branches work together, your progress would have been smoother.
Those from established branches, you cannot afford to buy their allegiance now.
If you want to cultivate a family of knights, you can only recruit from the marginalized kin.
According to the principle of equivalent exchange, a bottle of Life Essence in exchange for ten years of service, this business is definitely not a loss.
With your means, you are certainly capable of uniting most of them within ten years.
The previous inaction was because the branches had not yet decided to bet on you.
Now, within the Koslow family, your actions have been endorsed, at least the branches in the Southeastern Province Find your next favorite novel on NovelHub today!
The main descendants may not want to, but those who originally did not qualify to be knights, you can certainly recruit as many of them as you can.”
Having heard Baron Katelai’s explanation, Hudson fell silent.
Collecting marginalized clan members was exactly his plan.
Although creating a family-based entrepreneurial team is very detrimental to later development.
But under the existing rules, this is the only play he has.
In order not to cause trouble, even in private, he uses every excuse to teach officers some basic knowledge.
Even so, there is quite a bit of criticism from outsiders.
If he spread knowledge on a large scale, he would be alienating himself from the Noble Consortium.
On the other hand, cultivating one’s own people doesn’t have these troubles.
Regardless of how remote and declining the clan members are, and how many generations of blood relations are separated, they are all members of the Koslow Family, and all are of noble origin.
Since they are noble children, they are our own people.
The dissemination of knowledge remains within the Noble Consortium and does not spread to the common people.
The reason for not taking action is not that someone in the family is opposed.
In fact, as long as Hudson can come up with enough resources, everyone wouldn’t mind sending all the distant descendants to him.
How could the branches object to enhancing the family’s strength without harming their own interests?
The most important thing is that the resources in Hudson’s hands are scarce, and the consumption of ordinary materials for daily learning and training can barely be afforded, but there is really no way for cultivation resources.
Life Essence is just a stepping stone, and the cultivation after becoming a knight also cannot be done without auxiliary resources.
Let alone luxurious resources, shouldn’t there be some magical potions to treat the physical wear and tear during training?
This is not just about money.
Under conditions of serious supply-demand imbalance, you also need connections to buy enough auxiliary potions.
For small nobles, these problems can also be overcome.
As long as the daily training time is reduced, they can definitely bear it during their youth.
After the age of thirty or forty, the body begins to decline and cannot withstand this pressure, then just give up training.
This is also the reason why there are few high-ranking knights among the small nobility.
It’s not that their talent isn’t up to par, but their family simply can’t Find your next favorite novel on NovelHub today!
After all, the development of the family needs to be considered comprehensively and the individual cannot be the sole focus.
“Baron Katelai, you’ve said a lot, but most of it is nonsense.
I do need a lot of Life Essence, even if you can solve this problem, it doesn’t mean I can help you to break away from the July Club.
As for this mysterious organization, I have absolutely no clue.
I guess, you probably don’t know much either.
Based on the hints and rumors from the surface, we can boldly infer that there are other forces behind this organization controlling it secretly.
If it weren’t for the striking slogan of the July Club, they could even come into the light openly.
I find it very hard to compare such a rule-abiding organization with cult organizations.
Once things go too far, there must be something shady going on.
With your intelligence, I guess you may have some guesses too.
Since you’ve fallen into it, don’t expect to get out easily.
Unless you can get the top nobles of the kingdom to stand for you and vouch!
If you can’t do this, just live your life peacefully and pretend nothing happened.
After all, the name of the July Club has echoed throughout the kingdom for more than a hundred years, and there are very few exposed members.
Unless you are extremely unlucky, it won’t be very easy for you to encounter one.
I’ve said everything I could, now we can talk about our transaction.
Do you have any ways to help me get enough Life Essence?”
From his serious expression, it’s evident he took the July Club quite seriously.
Who can blame him when Hudson’s analysis was so shocking?
Even he himself found it hard to believe.
But reason told him that many unbelievable analyses are often close to the truth.
The content involved was too sensitive, Hudson simply dared not draw conclusions without a complete certainty.
For safety’s sake, he spoke ambiguously, letting Baron Katelai guess for himself.
Let’s end the discussion about the July Club for today.
The amount of Life Essence you need is too much, no matter which channel you exchange through, it is difficult to meet the demand.
The best way to solve this problem is to make it yourself.
Nominally within the kingdom, only the Royal Family masters the secret technique of producing Life Essence, but in reality, all the major noble families have never lacked Life Essence.
Even some strong intermediate aristocracies rarely report any shortage of Life Essence.
Those who need to buy Life Essence each time are usually minor nobles, with an occasional appearance from intermediary nobles.
Baron Hudson, I think you also understand why.”
Having heard Katelai’s words, Hudson couldn’t help but roll his eyes.
He’s not stupid, of course he understands the reason behind it.
If the production process of Life Essence, as recorded in history, is reallyonly held in the hands of the Royal Family, other major forces simply stand no chance of rising.
The manufacturing process, although not widespread, but among the large nobles who are not short of knights, they have definitely achieved freedom with Life Essence.
“Do you have the formula for producing Life Essence?”
Hudson asked with a slightly trembling voice.
This strategic resource that has been tightly sealed by major forces, there is almost no chance to obtain it through formal channels.
If he could exchange for it, he would definitely not let it go.
Under desperation, he would even resort to robbing it under the cover of night.
