THE FIGHT TO BE KING
CHAPTER 55: THE ABILITY OF CITY LEADERS
The curious Myro could not help but ask "Feld, what abilities do you have as a city guard? Why are you so confident in your ability to guard a city?".
"My master, what a very good question!", said Feld folding his hands forward thinking "If master asks about what ability the city guards should have, then, then the answer is they must understand what a city needs most! As the mayor then they should not only think of themselves, but they should also think of the interests of the population! However, if the population is starving, no matter how prosperous a city may be, it is only a matter of time before a major uprising breaks out that whole city-".
Seeing that Feld seemed to be able to speak until the morning though, Myro stopped him quickly "Not that! That's not the ability I meant! Feld, you know not that everyone has their own special abilities, I ask about those abilities, not the abilities that should be possessed as mayor".
"It turns out that master's intent is that ability" Feld said with a slight disappointment, he was not disappointed with Myro but he was very happy to tell me about how to manage the city so he was disappointed that he could not continue to tell stories anymore.
But a smile re-emerged on Feld's face quickly "Master, I have 5 abilities namely advanced sword master, 5-fold increase in speed, the hearts of the inhabitants, wisdom, and the increase in prosperity of the region 4-fold".
Hearing the names of those abilities, Myro became increasingly interested. He knew that the ability of advanced sword masters was the ability to use very high swords. At least based on the books Myro had read, the ability to use such weapons was divided into several levels of lace and height namely beginners, experts, intermediate experts, advanced experts, masters, masters, intermediate master and advanced master.
Although ability does not mean making someone stronger than the owner of a lower ability, but advanced swordsmen can learn swords and use them much faster than novice swordsmen. Moreover, they had quite different reactions and agility wearing swords as well.
Although it can still be overcome with practice, as long as novice swordsmen are diligent in practicing it does not rule out the possibility of them becoming stronger than advanced swordsmen.
While the speed increase of 5 times then it can increase the speed of its users by 5 times.
What Myro has never heard is the wisdom, the heart of the population and the 4-fold increase in the prosperity of the region.
"Feld, what's the function of the population's day ability, wisdom and 4-fold increase in the prosperity of the region?" asked Myro again.
"The heart of the population makes it easy for me to get the support of the residents, as long as I am the leader of the city then the possibility of rebellion becomes smaller, but if I make a reckless rule that results in many people starving and dying, then the hearts of these people are still useless. In the end, the hearts of the population only make it easier for me as a leader, not that the population will always support me" Feld said, explaining "While wisdom is an ability that can only be used once every day, this ability when used can make me think of an idea".
"If I have trouble as a city leader because of a problem, I can use my wisdom skills to get ideas to solve the problem. Although this ability cannot provide ideas to solve problems with certainty, there is still a possibility of failure".
"The ability to increase the prosperity of the region 4-fold also has a meaning as the name implies, each city I lead can become more prosperous as much as 4 times as the land in the city becomes more suitable to open fields, the business in the city also becomes more and more advanced as much as 4 times, the land in the city becomes more suitable for opening fields, having the possibility of attracting merchants or some useful experts like blacksmiths to this city also became even greater".
After listening to Feld's entire explanation, Myro knew that those 3 abilities did indeed have a match as mayor.
Feld seemed to know what Myro was thinking, therefore he said again "Master, ability is important, indeed, but in the end without intelligence and care then one cannot be a good mayor with just this ability! In the end this ability only provides help to facilitate our ability to succeed, while to really succeed then someone still has to work hard".
Myro nodded, suddenly feeling tired. After all, it's night now, it's time for Myro to go to sleep.
So Myro patted Feld on the shoulder and said, "You can tell Falka or another Mongol Cavalry soldier whether there is still an empty tent. Tomorrow we must leave, therefore we must sleep enough so as not to get tired on the journey later".
"I understand sir, then Feld leaves first!", said Feld bowing respectfully, walking away from Myro's tent to look for Falka.
Myro lay back on his bed, staring at the ceiling of the tent thinking that he could call Feld because he had helped the 4th prince take over half of the Cavalry Kingdom. If Myro helped the 4th prince seize the entire cavalry, would he get another reward?
Under curiosity, Myro began to sleep slowly.
...----------------...
The next day, Myro just woke up and walked away from his tent after preparing and wearing his light iron armor.
When Myro opened the door of his tent, he found that Ren was waiting for him at the door.
Before Myro could talk to Ren, something immediately caught his attention.
He discovered that Feld, who had just been summoned last night, was very close to the Mongol cavalry, even laughing and talking with Falka and Ferbas as if they were close friends.
Myro was a little surprised, however he knew that earlier Falka and Ferbas were not so close.
They only talk to each other when it comes to work, but with the arrival of this Feld then the 2 people can be very close which surprised Myro, but with the arrival of this, it seemed like this Feld could indeed easily get close and take the hearts of others.
While Myro was still a little surprised at Feld's skill, Ren at the side said "Master, you are again summoning a great talent! Fortunately the man was from the World as well so it was impossible to betray master, if he was not from the world then I would have killed him".
"Does Feld really have to be killed if he is not from the World?", asked Myro confused, Ren will not speak carelessly without any reason, at least that is what Ren always does.
Ren nodded firmly with a gloomy face "This guy is the type of person who is 2-faced No, 2-faces is too little for him, no, it could probably be said that this newly summoned man had 1000 masks on his face that could deceive others around him".
