In the blink of an eye, it’s early January in the water season, and the weather has become cold, which is perfect for killing pigs, sheep, and curing bacon.

Caligula put on a blood-stained and murderous oil canvas apron, grabbed the fat pig's hind legs with agility that was disproportionate to his clumsy appearance, and easily hung the nearly 400-pound guy upside down.

He picked it up. Before the fat pig had time to let out a heart-rending howl, he was struck by the hilt of a knife on his head. His eyes immediately rolled up and he fainted. Caligula carried the big, limp pig.

Stepping out of the pig pen, he walked a few steps to the slaughtering point. He flipped the tip of the knife and stabbed it diagonally into the pit under the pig's neck. The hot pig blood spurted out and flowed into the wooden basin on the ground. Wait until the pig's blood has drained out.

, he immersed the fat pig in a large wooden barrel prepared in advance, rolled it several times in the boiling hot water, picked it up, and directly used a butcher knife to remove the hair. The blade scraped from the pig's legs to the pig's head, and the bristles were removed in a few strokes.

Clean. Caligula turned around, gently tossed the white dead pig, pinched the back of the neck, and slashed the blade down the pig's chest. His wrist shook, and the fat pig's internal organs slid in.

Another big pot, several pig butchers immediately carried it to another place.

At this time, Caligula had already removed the pig's head and divided the pig into two pieces.

He carried the pig with one hand and slaughtered it with a single knife. From catching the pig, killing it, bleeding it, removing its hair, disemboweling it, and cutting it up, the whole process was done in one go. It only took 19 minutes.

If you don't take into account the unbearable fishy smell, Caligula's performance gives Victor a flowing beauty.

This is nothing more than the way the cook cooks the cow.

It is hard to imagine that it was only four days before Caligula actually killed the pig. In the previous months, he had been struggling with his own psychological barriers. In order to help him overcome his timidity and cowardice, Victor took the most brutal measures

Starvation therapy, first starved him for ten days, then gave him half-cooked beef, raw beef, half-cooked blood sausage, and finally he could only drink raw cow blood. After 6 months of torture, he started killing fish and geese.

, kill ground lizards, kill sheep, kill pigs...

Caligula killed more pigs in four days than the average butcher in forty days.

If you don't do the work, you will go hungry. Once you do, others will be no match for you.

What is extraordinary? This is extraordinary.

It takes decades of practice for a cook to cut off an ox, and it only takes four days for Caligula to cut off a pig with one sword. The gap between ordinary people and extraordinary people is clear at a glance. But extraordinary people are only a minority after all, and their power has an upper limit. Even if the Golden Knight wants to clean the pig,

They have to come one by one, there is no way to deal with a large group with a wave of your hand. And for most ordinary people, as long as there is a little improvement, the gathered energy will be like a mountain roaring and a tsunami.

Victor waved to Caligula, and the stupid man immediately dropped his sharp knife and ran over. Bertina broke free from Shirley's restraints and climbed onto Caligula's shoulders like a fat monkey.

, riding on his neck, covering his eyes with his small hands, directing the silly big man to turn left and right, giggling happily.

Shirley was so anxious that she stamped her feet and shouted: "Bell, come down, come down, you are so stupid!" Seeing that Bell was unmoved, she grabbed Victor's clothes and said aggrievedly: "

Master, please ask Sister Bell to come down."

Belle is actually 7 years older than you, but you still think of her as a cute little sister... Victor shook his head and laughed. Every little attendant wanted to occupy Bertina. They also negotiated for this and reached a consensus.

I am personally responsible for taking care of Bell for a day. Today it is Shirley's turn to be Bell's sister.

Of course, this has practical significance. Whoever is close to Bell will be in a happy mood and have particularly good luck. When picking mushrooms, the bucket will always explode first, and when digging a gopher hole, his fingers will rarely be bitten.

If Caligula's talent represents the development direction of individual force, then Bertina's ability belongs to the category of destiny.

Caligula is extremely powerful, has keen intuition, and is just as good at melee combat as Nelson. Bertina has her own lucky aura, coupled with Victor's sharp long-range attack methods and X-3's powerful computing power, as long as

Caligula can entangle the enemy for a moment, and Victor, blessed by luck, can seal the victory.

This combination is perfect. With these two guys by his side, Victor believes that there are very few people who can beat him.

Randall's family has a big business, but there are not many strong people who can stand alone. Nicole and Nelson have to guard the territory. Victor wants to go out and have a strong combination around him.

It's a pity that Bertina may be a little wizard who will die at the sight of light, and Victor really doesn't dare to let her have contact with outsiders.

If that bastard Emerson dares to lie to me, see how I deal with him!

Victor was filled with hatred, but when he thought about it, he felt that the possibility of Imerson deceiving him was almost zero.

If Imerson had known that Bell was a wizard, he would have sought protection from Victor long ago.

Who would make fun of his precious daughter’s life? Imerson has raised Bertina for so many years without finding any problems, so Belle is probably fine... right?

Caligula came over under Bell's "control". The little attendants backed away one after another with disgust on their faces. Victor couldn't help but frowned. After all, Caligula ignited the fire of the soul. Now that he has overcome the psychological barrier, he can no longer

Asking him to kill pigs and sheep has no practical effect. Victor originally planned to let Caligula practice his skills with fishmen, but now he changed his mind.

"Brandon, Klaus, you take everyone to slaughter a fat cow."

The expressions of the servants of the little nobles all changed drastically. Brandon was pushed out by the big guy, and he said calmly: "Master, I... we will not kill cattle."

"Ha, you don't know how to kill cattle? Are there knight attendants who don't know how to handle prey? Ask Mrs. Nicole if she has followed her teacher to practice survival skills in the wild since she was a child, setting up camps, hunting and gathering, handling prey, and cooking game.

Then she won’t?”

The little attendants hung their heads in shame and said in unison: "I will obey my master's instructions."

Victor said calmly: "Pastor Dane has returned from the Holy See. I will host a dinner at Pinghu Castle tonight to celebrate his promotion to a senior priest. I ask each of you to slaughter the fat cow with your own hands in accordance with the tradition of knight attendants.

Clean it, cook it into dishes, and provide respectful service to the guests. If you can't do it, those who can't do it well will have nothing to eat tonight!"

The young attendants looked at each other, and Klaus stepped forward to salute and said: "Sir, we have no cattle, no salt, no spices, no side dishes, and no cooking tools."

"Um."

Victor nodded and asked leisurely: "Then do you have eyes and mouths, do you have hands and feet, do you have a brain?"

"Huh? Oh, I understand, I understand." Shirley's eyes lit up and she said happily: "The master told us to find a way ourselves!"

"Yeah, my sister is smarter." Brandon exclaimed proudly.

Trying to figure out how to process a fat cow and make it into dinner, isn't that the same as playing a game?

The little attendants suddenly became excited and started chattering.

"We should find a fat cow first."

"But we don't have money, we still need spices and salt. So we should raise money first... The question is, who should we borrow money from?"

"You don't have to borrow money. We can cheat...oh, I mean credit, yes, we can find a way to get the missing materials on credit."

"Gentlemen and ladies." Victor clapped his hands, attracted the eyes of the little guys to himself, and said with a smile: "It is afternoon...I want to remind you that time is running out. In addition, any

No one is allowed to eat any food secretly. I will make sure you have an empty stomach...to accept the punishment."

Klaus looked up at the setting sun and muttered to his companions: "What we need most now is help." He walked up to Caligula, bowed very seriously, and said sincerely: "'

Mr. Giant, can you help us?"

"The 'giant' won't help the 'little one'."

Bertina rode on Caligula's neck and imitated his rumbling voice, then tilted her head and giggled: "Bell can convince the Giant to help the Little One. How can the Little One thank Bell?"

The little attendants happily gathered together to discuss, and finally Brandon raised his head and shouted to Bell: "There are 17 of us here, and everyone contributes a day's snacks to Bell."

Bell took a sip of saliva, cheered, licked Caligula's ears, and shouted: "Let's go! Caligula, let's go catch the cow, go catch the cow!"

Caligula grinned stupidly and walked towards the cattle slaughterhouse surrounded by a group of young attendants who were only as tall as his thighs.

Seeing the little kids walking away, Victor suddenly didn't know what to do.

Two months after the Randall Mutual Aid Certificate was issued, Dane was recalled to the Holy See to report on his duties, and he did not return to Randall until today.

As Victor expected, the Vatican Council of Cardinals issued a new canon, which in principle encouraged lords to establish a mutual aid association system and recognized the legality of mutual aid coupons, but there were no specific countermeasures.

There is no way to counter it... The church strictly prohibits clergy from engaging in profit-making business activities, and requires believers to carry out self-salvation. The mutual aid association satisfies these two doctrines, and the Council of Cardinals has no position to oppose it.

As the founder of the Mutual Aid Association, Dane was awarded by the Holy See and was promoted to a level 5 senior priest. However, he was not happy about it. According to him, Clement did not see him at all.

The bishop was dissatisfied with him for making arbitrary decisions, and his attitude towards him became very cold.

There are various signs that Dane has been excluded from the inner circle of Clement's lineage.

Victor was very happy, it all went according to his plan.

The fundamental reason why the church did not oppose the mutual aid association was that neither the clergy nor the knights had formed the concept of "people's hearts." The gap between extraordinary people and ordinary people created a unique human social form in other worlds. Mortal people were accustomed to dedication and obedience, and thus prayed to extraordinary people for protection.

and promotion, their struggles are mostly limited to the lower world and will not affect the upper-level rule.

However, changes are about to begin.

As the secret method of soul blood becomes more and more perfect, a third political force will soon appear in human society. The knight class and the clergy class will inevitably take countermeasures, with the ultimate goal of suppressing the third political force. To their death.

What's more, the secret method of soul blood is built on the basis of the human race and can enhance the power of knights and clergy at the same time. In other words, Victor cannot monopolize the secret method of soul blood. As long as it is used to train soldiers, it will be imitated by knights or clerics.

And improve. It's just a matter of time.

As the founder of the secret method of soul bloodline, Victor's own interests will not be protected in any way if he does not take active and effective measures.

Priests and knights are already at the upper echelons of society. Victor uses the secret method of soul bloodline to please them, which is nothing more than gaining some false fame. In this way, it is better to use the secret method of soul bloodline to cultivate emerging forces and establish a new system to push the Randall family to the top.

Go to the top.

In the feudal centralization system, the first thing Victor must overturn is the church's right to speak unequivocally to mortals. Otherwise, if all the elites trained by the Randall family run away with the church, who should Victor seek to reason with?

You know, the Radiant Code protects knights, but not the popular archers! The swordmaster Draven was chased for thousands of miles by the Radiant Knights.

Assuming that Victor hands over the idea of ​​a mutual aid association to Clement, he will only keep it in his hand and hide it for twenty years in order to seek maximum political benefits. Victor can also hide the secret method of soul bloodline for twenty years.

? Clement will soon realize the seriousness of the problem when he sees the spiritual warriors cultivated by the Randall family.

So Victor made a time lag. Even though Clement was extremely intelligent, he didn’t know what it meant to be fearful of the people!

The church failed to nip mutual aid societies in the bud. When a large group of believers enjoyed the benefits of mutual aid societies, the clergy could only follow the trend.

As for what happened to Dane, it was actually a good thing for Victor. The extraordinary magical power of a level 5 priest is equivalent to the gold level, but Dane is now isolated and has no chance. He can only cling to the lap of the Randall family, hoping that the tide will rise.
To be continued...
