219: Chapter 131, The Dispute of the Prefectural Governor_2 219: Chapter 131, The Dispute of the Prefectural Governor_2 Particularly for the Alpha Kingdom, where battles against Orcs are common, the quantity of top warriors is extrely vital.
In every war, these individuals have played significant roles.
…
After bustling happily hard for nearly a month, the figures of a man and a bear appeared in almost all the heavily afflicted areas.
Belsden quickly beca the wealthiest bear in the Aslante Continent, though still so distance from becoming the greatest bear in history.
Primarily because its ancestor, the Earth Bear, was incredibly powerful and used to wield Divine Artifacts to face off against Giant Dragons.
The value of a Divine Artifact is indeed imasurable, definitely not sothing that can be purchased with gold coins.
Even if one included a mountain domain, it would still not match the value of a Divine Artifact.
Of course, the Blood Moon Horn, that kind of evil god weapon, doesn’t count.
Its reputation is so foul and hated by all that it can’t be openly used, causing its value to plumt.
No matter how wealthy Belsden is, after all, it’s just a bear.
What actually caught the eyes of noble young ladies was Hudson.
If he was considered a stock with potential before, now he has transford into a rapidly growing stock.
Everyone was well aware that if they didn’t invest quickly, they’d miss their chance.
Truthfully, for many, the opportunity had already passed.
While exterminating the Locusts, Hudson took a trip back to his hotown and learned from Baron Redman that the quality of the nobles interested in marrying into his family had upgraded as a whole.
Ordinary Knight families, and most Baron families, aware of their lack of hope, had voluntarily stepped back.
In their stead, a group of Interdiate Aristocracy and even branches of major clans had joined the consideration list.
Noble children usually serve as backup options for each other’s marriage arrangents, and this is very common in the noble circle.
Baron Redman held a pile of profiles of noblewon, and likewise, the parents of those won also had a pile of profiles of noble children.
If they found soone suitable, they’d try to subtly inquire about it, and if both parties agreed, they would beco backup options.
The final choice will mostly look at familial interests, personal desires, and the developnt of the situation.
The marriage of common children does not carry much importance, even if ssed up, it won’t cause too much trouble.
But a child like Hudson, upon whom the family has pinned great hopes, his marriage not only concerns Baron Redman but all the other branches as well.
The one who probably worries the least about it, is likely Hudson himself.
Even if he remains single, he still has two elder brothers ahead of him, right?
As per tradition, before deciding on his marriage, arrangents should first be made for those two older single n.
Young Hudson can continue to wait.
After all, many of his potential matches are still children.
The so-called suitability is rely based on family background.
But for Nelson and Evola, who are a few years older, their arrangents are likely to occur within the next year or two.
At least before Hudson’s marriage gets settled, they must be arranged for, to prevent others from ridiculing.
With the decline in temperature and the relentless hunting by the noble lords, the fierce Locust pandemic soon ca to an end.
The universally detested Insect King, vanished early from people’s sight.
Whether it was exterminated or sneakily hiding away, waiting for the right ti, nobody knew.
Anyhow, this calamity was temporarily over.
Thanks to Belsden’s contributions, even in the most Locust-riddled areas within the province, the autumn harvest was saved.
The surrounding provinces weren’t so lucky, even though Hudson didn’t mind taking Belsden for a trip, they ultimately missed the season.
Anyway, the Locust Army was gone, and the autumn sowing was missed, so everyone decided not to unnecessarily spend money.
Instead, they organized a Serf Army to keep fighting against the scattered locusts.
The correctness of this decision was unknown to all, but it had to be admitted that Belsden did indeed have a talent for doing business, and in this regard, it was even more impressive than Hudson.
While Hudson may entertain personal relations, in front of Uncle Bear they seed irrelevant.
One silver coin for one acre of land; if they agreed, they went ahead, if not, then they withdrew.
Uncle Bear didn’t bother.
If they wanted a package price, that was impossible.
Belsden was a stubborn bear; a silver coin more would be charged just the sa, a silver coin less might lead to a table flip.
Negotiating with Hudson was futile, Uncle Bear straightly stated: if you’re not afraid of encountering a bear on a night journey, then you can have a “50%” discount on the price.
Confronted by the shaless bear, in order not to get broken, none of the nobles dared to ask for a discount.
When dealing with the impoverished needing to buy on credit, Hudson wound up footing the bill.
Compared to owing money to Uncle Bear, everyone felt it was better to owe Baron Hudson instead, even if it ant owing him a favor.
Adhering to the principle of “keeping the at in one’s own pot,” Hudson didn’t prevent Belsden from making money.
After all, getting money out of the noble’s pockets was extrely difficult.
On the other hand, the money entering Belsden’s pocket was equivalent to entering his own pocket.
Piles of gold coins amassed into a mountain that couldn’t even be counted!
Everything was under Hudson’s supervision anyway.
All Belsden possessed was a number in the account.
Apparently, Hudson was providing a loan, but in reality, it was Belsden’s money he was moving from one hand to the other.
Having the free use of all the funds without paying any interest, Hudson naturally could exchange it for favors using ultra-low-interest loans.
Not only lending, he could also invest with it.
As long as the credit standing doesn’t collapse, this ga can continue indefinitely.
