Chapter 46

But then again.

Even for commoners.

If the early investment is high, it can also be seen as strengthening the lord's power, reducing the risk of dying in battle.

However… the family bonds in this world are a little different.

A woman can marry multiple men at the same time.

A man can also take multiple wives at the same time.

There are even cases of lords marrying their own subjects.

The result is that emotions are thinner, and interests run thicker.

Under such circumstances, the great clans value political ties even more, and the neglected descendants receive very little investment.

Yang Xiong was the child born of his father's seventh concubine, so he was not valued.

Small clans, or commoner households, find it even harder to invest too much.

After all, the profession of lord is very dangerous.

The income is high, but one must face magical beasts directly, and the danger is also high.

It's very easy to die in battle.

Even if one doesn't die in battle, escaping from the territory in time—

Then the territory will also be destroyed.

The World Stone will be seized or destroyed.

The racial bloodline will also vanish along with the territory.

Commoners can hardly bear such a loss.

It can be said to be a total loss with nothing to show.

If there had been no prior investment, at least there would still be savings.

So most ordinary families chose to keep their savings.

Rather than investing heavily.
