Be a lord in the world of Indian mythology

Chapter 31 A Promising Future

The wind brought rolling heat waves, and the rising sun scorched the earth.

Bim had already left to prepare food and water, while Vijay remained standing with the 3000 people.

These guys remained calm and still in such an environment, whether they had an iron will or simply had lost the strength to move, they preferred to quietly accept the test of death.

Vijay's eyes flashed with admiration, but his attention quickly shifted to the system.

The talent tree was explained in a simple and straightforward manner, which Vijay could certainly understand.

However, the "All-Out Defense" talent tree doesn't bring him immediate changes like the other two paths.

He could only start from scratch, beginning with "Controlling People (1/5)".

Upon reaching the page, another page unfolds, containing only a simple list with three names and one unknown message.

Bim: Loyalty 90, other information not yet unlocked.

Rajon: Loyalty 96, other information not yet unlocked.

Maya: Loyalty 100, other information not yet unlocked.

'Dalit Clan: Loyalty? Other information is not yet available'

Vijay wasn't surprised that Maya's loyalty was at its maximum, but Rajan's loyalty was much higher than Bim's... Did this mean that he hadn't yet gained the wholehearted approval of his treasured old servant?

Furthermore, a lot of information can be gleaned from just this row of prompts for Vijay.

First, only those with whom one has established a formal master-servant relationship will have their names inscribed.

Secondly, as long as you continue to invest talent points in "Management", you will be able to unlock those previously unavailable information.

Third, the Dalits, as a race, are listed alongside the three individuals and are thus registered. It is unclear whether their information will be corrected later, perhaps due to the investment of talent points or some other change, such as recruiting them as servants.

Should we add some and see?

Vijay was somewhat eager to try.

But reason quickly brought him back from this impulsive thought.

Although he now has 3 talent points, he must prepare some for emergencies before embarking on a business journey where life and death are uncertain!

Moreover, instead of increasing the depth of "Management of People", it would be better to explore "Management of Objects" and "Management of Knowledge" to see how they work.

Since this talent tree seems to be related to territory building, and since I am reluctant to abandon my territory for the time being, consolidating the rear is definitely more valuable than improving myself!

Keep a little bit for emergencies.

Without hesitation, Vijay immediately selected "Guardian Item (1/5)" and "Guardian Knowledge (1/5)".

Instead of a panel related to the talent tree appearing immediately, two images flooded his mind.

The first scene takes place in a luxurious palace, where a group of elaborately dressed Vaishyas kneel on the ground, trembling with fear and not daring to raise their heads, seemingly assuming supreme authority over the protagonist of the scene. Beside him, a man sits upright, completely ignoring his Kshatriya status, and finally casts a single glance at him.

It's Mira!

Before Vijay could react, the second segment of the scene was triggered one after another.

It was the round tablet, a family heirloom that might represent divine grace. In the darkness, it emitted a faint glow, illuminating the surrounding corpses. The tablet was tightly clutched in a skeletal hand; even weathered, the finger bones remained firmly clenched, as if trying to drag it into the world of death. Then, a pair of young hands pried open the skeleton, lifted the tablet, and in the dim light, the face was almost identical to Vijay's.

The image suddenly disappeared, but Vijay had already adapted to the sudden appearance of the image. He pressed his temples slightly and then got used to it.

It goes without saying what these two scenes represent, which is enough to further solidify Vijay's existing guesses.

My gaze shifted to 'Yuwu', and a page resembling a shop opened.

architecture:

『Bun-house (purchase requirements met), 1 gold coin』

Lumberyard (purchase requirements met), 100 gold coins

Mill (purchase requirements met), 200 gold coins

Mining site (purchase conditions not met)

'Smelter (Purchase conditions not met)'

"..."

thing:

Snow Beads (purchase requirements met), 1 Gold Coin/Bead

Grain (purchase requirements met), 2 gold coins/unit (1 unit consumed per 100 population/day)

Standard weapon (purchase requirements met), 100 gold coins/set

『Divine Cow (purchase requirements met), 1000 gold coins/head』

"..."

This thing, Age of Empires? Civilization?

Vijay was overjoyed as he spent money to buy the goods. "What is cheating? This is cheating!"

Those hidden parts can definitely be expanded by adding more items yourself! With this, as long as you give yourself enough time…

Hehe, I can't even imagine!

What about "御悉"?

The new interface opens, and this time it resembles a properties panel with very detailed content.

Basic Information: Mittal Village, with a land area of ​​9.89 square kilometers and a population of 3489; Status: Arid.

Economy: Holding 113567 gold coins and 1000 units of food.

Armament: 3.5 (Official samurai combat strength count is 1)

Diplomacy: Visible Friendship Level (Zombie 0, Neutral 50, Followers 100)

Treasure: Hidden

'Spectacle: None'

Intelligence: There is a possibility of an outbreak within the next three months.

That's great!

Vijay clenched his fist tightly. With this panel, how could he possibly lose in managing his territory?

"Shiva bless, Lord Vijay!" A voice rang out untimely behind Vijay, interrupting his continued research.

Vijay turned around and looked down. It was Mira's servant whom he had seen last night. "My mistress sent me to ask you something."

The servant glanced at the Dalits seated before him, then looked up at Vijay. "Are you satisfied with this dowry?"

"Dowry?" Upon hearing this word, Vijay was taken aback, remembering the mystery Mira had kept him in suspense the night before.

So it was a case of coercion and enticement!

He glanced at the guy, who had a nonchalant smile on his face, looking as if he already had Vijay under his control.

Vijay silently activated the newly acquired "Knowledge of the Lord," and a semi-transparent number 45 floated above the male servant's head, piercing through his outward submissiveness.

45 probably means indifferent.

Has it not reached the level of hatred yet?

That's a bit unexpected!

Since they weren't exactly friends, there was no reason for him to hold back. Vijay immediately dropped his polite smile, his tone turning cold: "Does Sharma Mira dare to claim the gift of the noble Kshatriya Roshman as her own?"

Perhaps Vijay's cold tone surprised the servant, who was stunned for a moment, his mouth slightly open but unsure how to refute.

Not far away, Bim was already pulling a cart loaded with grain and water, followed by several Dalit natives, and was walking quickly in this direction.

"I will personally handle this matter with Sharma Mira! As for you, my friend," Vijay coldly stated, "I hope you understand your place!"
