You were made to farm, and now you're the emperor of an empire?

Chapter 147 I want to improve so much!
"Take good care of your injuries, and we'll take you on the next hunt." Roman sat by Kao's bedside, checked his injuries, and tucked him in.

Roman now understands Dick's assessment of him.

It hurts others and yourself!

Káo's training was exceptionally rigorous, which was evident to all. In order to carry out the plunder plan, Roman boosted Káo's stats to prevent this four-star apostle with immense potential from dying in an accident.

But he didn't expect that Káo would dare to challenge a fully armed knight to a duel.

This idiot... he didn't know what to say.

A fallen knight is no different from a wild boar in the mountains. Seven or eight soldiers can surround him; at most three will die, and the rest can tackle him to the ground, pinning his limbs down. At that point, the low-ranking knight will be unable to move, forced to watch helplessly as swords pierce through the gaps in his armor, and blood flows out…

If you can win by ganging up, why are you going to try a one-on-one fight?
Roman never expected that the conquering knight would actually die by Káo's sword.

It's important to understand that even Green and Aaron weren't confident they could defeat a seasoned knight by going into battle unprepared.

……

Four-star Khao (can be given an Apostle codename)
Attack: D-, Defense: E+, Speed: E+, Constitution: D-, Energy: E+
Talent: Sharpness - Increases normal attack power
First skill: Combat - Basic combat skills

Second skill: Licking Blood - When bleeding or in pain, one's willpower gains a certain degree of immunity to stun, and attack power is increased.

……

Kao originally had a 5E panel, but now it has a 2D3E panel, and its lowest attribute is still E+.

These attributes were not something Roman improved one by one.

Kao improved his stats through training.

Roman simply built upon this foundation, spending a small amount of extraordinary resources such as a thousand catties of magic steel and a hundred grams of fine gold magic stone to raise Kao's attack and constitution attributes to D-level.

God helps those who help themselves!

As the chosen one, what's wrong with him giving a point to a hardworking apostle?
Furthermore, in Roman's view, by increasing the apostle's panel attributes, he was actually unlocking the latter's potential and increasing the attribute cap.

They still need to rely on the latter training to reach their full potential.

Without rigorous training and sufficient nutritional supplements, it's impossible for Kao to become a first-tier warrior knight at this age simply by adding points.

Did you know that Kao ate at least seven pounds of meat, eggs, and dairy every day during that period?

Who in an ordinary family could afford to raise this child?
Kao hopes to join the hunting team, but he has lost too much blood and Roman forbids him from doing anything out of line until he recovers, and he is not allowed to train on his own.

This made Kao somewhat discouraged.

“After some time, I will appoint you as a Knight of Conquest,” Roman said to him.

Most trainees would be knighted when they turned 21.

Trainees in this age group are highly skilled in martial arts and generally possess the physical qualities of a first-tier knight, making their appointment as conquest knights entirely reasonable.

Aaron and Green were both under 21 when they left the Grand Duchy with Roman, and were therefore only apprentice knights.

Of course, Roman didn't care about that.

They were granted the status of official knights right there on the road.

Some knights who fought in battles were favored by nobles or performed exceptionally well and could be granted titles ahead of time, usually at the age of 16.

After his battle with the Knights, Kao proved his strength, and Aaron and Green did not object to it.

Upon hearing Roman's words, a slight flush appeared on Kao's pale face.

That's why he went to fight a conquering knight. Not content with just being a trainee, he took an unconventional approach and challenged a conquering knight.

Now he has succeeded and received the reward he desired.

The boy was somewhat agitated. "Master, I will uphold the honor you have bestowed upon me!" Roman nodded slightly, then changed the subject, "I'm glad you can become a knight of conquest, but I'm very unhappy that you don't care about your own life! Whose life do you think it is? Who will bear the loss if you die? Did I raise you just so you could take risks? I think you're incredibly stupid! If you dare to do such a thing on your own again, don't even think about going to the battlefield! Go shovel manure!"

He gave Kao a thorough dressing-down.

If Káo dies, it means all the resources he invested will have been wasted!

Kao looked ashamed; he was too eager to improve.

Roman had things to do and didn't say much. He got up and left Káo's room.

As the manor servant led in the white horse and helped him adjust his hunting attire, Roman saw Sanna and Gweil playing in the snow. They had a falling out before, but quickly made up and became inseparable again.

The two of them were learning quite quickly. Gweil learned a lot of words. After passing the exam, Roman lifted the ban on Gweil and only conducted occasional spot checks.

If you fail, you'll be grounded.

How can you not study at such a young age!
He didn't like to suppress a child's nature, but Gweil was destined for greatness and needed his guidance.

Sanna is Káo's sister, and as long as she keeps up with her studies, Roman never disciplines her.

Roman beckoned to Sanna, signaling her to come over.

Sanna was a little nervous. She glanced at Gweil, who understood and came over with her in small, quick steps.

Roman said to Sanna, "Your brother was seriously wounded on the battlefield and is now lying in bed. You are his family. Even if you can't share his pain, you can't ignore him. You should take good care of him."

Roman's attitude was relatively mild; he didn't have any particular opinion about Sanna, after all, what could a little girl possibly know?

Because she didn't understand, I had to tell her many things.

With Kao bedridden, as his sister, she couldn't say she had to take care of him every step of the way, nor could she ignore him.

However, Sanna felt extremely wronged.

Kao thought she was clumsy and made it impossible for him to lie in bed and calmly review the life-or-death battle, so he kicked her out.

He hadn't been playing with Gweil for long when he was scolded by the lord again.

The latter spoke softly, but to her ears it sounded completely different, as if he had scolded her harshly. She had always been afraid of this decisive lord, and every time she saw him she only dared to lower her head.

Roman was a man of approachable nature, and he practiced what he preached, getting along with everyone.

But others don't think that way.

It doesn't matter what you do.

He was ultimately the ruler of this land.

His prestige was immense, and his status was lofty; no one in this land could stand on equal footing with him.

When standing before him and facing his gaze, which ignorant farmer or fisherwoman wouldn't feel terrified?
Even knowing that he never kills indiscriminately or is not tyrannical, who can remain calm in the face of such a huge gap in their social status?

She only spoke a few words to him, and every day she only saw his busy figure.

Sometimes he would set off in the morning and not return until evening; sometimes he would go to teach in the classroom; sometimes he would not return to the manor for many days and would sleep in the lumber mill and ironworks.

There were many servants in the manor, both maids and servants, but she was the most inconspicuous.

She moved here because of Khal Drogo, but she couldn't adapt to life on the estate.

Because in this busy manor, everyone has something to do, but she has nothing to do and feels superfluous.

Coincidentally, Gweil thought the same thing, so the two of them went together and became inconspicuous.
