Chapter 280: Appointment and Wishes
"Shay Cormac, the former Grand Knight of the Imperial Knights in the Desert Kingdom. His former military rank was lieutenant. Am I right?" Purficott looked in front of him. The slightly depressed knight asked.
Shay did not dare to neglect. While standing upright in a military posture, he did not dare to squint his eyes, let alone stare at Perfectcott.
Hearing Purficott's question, he quickly stood up to attention, leaned on his heels and made a crisp sound, and replied: "Yes, Your Majesty the Earl."
"Don't be too nervous, Relax, Mr. Knight, I don't eat people." Purficott made a rare joke, but then said: "You said you were kicked out of the army because you drunkenly beat your boss's son to death. , and even came to the north to seek life.
And before that, you have actually been selected into the new steam knights that the empire is forming. Is that right? ”
For Purficott, it is too simple to investigate Shay’s identity and background. However, when she decided to meet Shay, his identity, background and all relevant information had already appeared in In front of her.
“Yes, Lord Count! Regarding being killed by mistake..." Although Shay just answered, he still instinctively wanted to explain so as not to leave a bad impression on Purficott.
However, Purficott just waved his hand. , casually said: "No need to explain, for me, victory does not need explanation, failure cannot be explained, as long as you can make results that satisfy me, I don't mind if you have a little problem, or what kind of bad past you have.
That’s not important, because that’s in the past. What’s important is now, do you understand what I mean? ”
Purficott's meaning was simple. She wouldn't mind Shay's previous experiences. It was just a drunken accident in which he accidentally beat a few people to death. It wasn't a big problem, and she wouldn't be able to tolerate it.
Even for Purficott, restoring what Shay had lost and solving the problems of his immediate boss were just a matter of her words.
But the premise is that Shay shows enough value that it is worthy of Purficott to solve his troubles and worries.
At present, as the first unofficial high knight sent to the north, Perficott is still willing to release some goodwill, which is not only an investment in Shay himself, but also a courtesy to the corporal, A gesture of Qian Jinshi horse bones.
For the current Northern Territory, the talent gap is huge. She needs more people to actively defect to her, not just rely on Robert's recruitment in Langton. That is too efficient. Low.
And if you want to attract talents to invest, it is still necessary to make sufficient gestures.
Although the Shay in front of Purficott may be worth investing in, it is not worth her attention.
It can only be said that he has indeed caught up. As the first unofficial knight to come to the north, Perficott is willing to show some sincerity and treatment that exceeds the value he has shown.
Xie Yi naturally knew this well and politely expressed his gratitude to Purficott. At the same time, he also expressed his loyalty to her with an excited emotion, as if he was swearing allegiance.
Perfect was satisfied with Shay's statement, but she still criticized Shay: "My standard for evaluating talents is never what they say, but what they say. Do, want to show your loyalty to me?
Yes, but this is not done with words, but with actions.
I can give you a chance, but you only get one chance to prove your loyalty to me. "
"Please give me your orders, Lord Earl! "Shay lowered his head. He knew that whether he would be rich or noble in the future would all depend on this move.
"Very good, I will give you a group of people and lead them to build a Develop a stronghold. "Perfect ordered. She didn't speak quickly. This was to let Shay remember it clearly. At the same time, she was also considering what requests to make to Shay: "You have no backup, I can allocate some of the supplies to you. But don’t count on this, everything is up to you. What I ask of you is that within this year you must build the base to the point where it can be self-sufficient. At the very least, you must be able to ensure the good operation of the base. You are not required to provide assistance from me to maintain it.
In addition, I will also give you a drawing, and you need to organize people to build according to the drawing.
This matter is not so urgent, but you must complete it within the time I set, and you must meet the standards I require.
If you have any difficulties, you can report it to my housekeeper. If it is really beyond your ability, my housekeeper will solve it for you or report it to me.
But I don’t want to hear you asking for help often, do you understand what I mean? ”
Perfect asked Shay to build the planned shelter, but she did not expect Shay to directly build the shelter. That would be too unrealistic.
All she asked of Shay was to lay the foundation and make relevant preparations for the construction of the shelter.
Considering that Shay wanted to build an immigration base from scratch, Purficott still planned to give him a certain amount of help, but if Shay asked for too much help, Purficott would not He regarded him as a useful talent.
Xie Yi naturally understands that this is the test given to him by Perfecticot. If he can do well, he will naturally gain the favor of Perfecticot and will be reused smoothly from then on.
But if it is not done well...
Shay will not think about this possibility. The opportunity is so precious to him, how can he waste it?
He had decided that once he had settled down, he would send a telegram to his eldest brother in Longton to ask for his help and support.
If he can establish a foothold in the North, then the Cormac family may also be able to do something in the North. This is not his fault alone.
"Understood, Lord Earl! Please look forward to my performance." Shay is still confident in his ability. If it is just to build a development stronghold, he has military experience and is still very confident in himself. of.
"Very good, I like your attitude." Purficott nodded with satisfaction, and then promised Shay: "Work hard, if your results can satisfy me, A pioneering document will be the reward you deserve.
Before that, I will give you the title of Honorary Knight of the White Bear Knights to facilitate your work.
In addition, if you have colleagues or friends who want to come to the north for development, you can also recruit them, and you can also recommend good talents to me.
The North is big enough, I will not be stingy with rewards for talents, wealth? Title? Or something else? As long as you can make results that satisfy me, what you can achieve will exceed your imagination. ”
