After Lyrald An'an finished his meal, he tilted his chin and began to think about the position of the Adventurer's Guild. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info actually looks quite weird now.

Even if the Adventurer Guild knew that these orc tribes were around, and looked at so many people who had run away, they didn't panic at all, didn't it show that they had nothing to fear? I wonder if there will be a legendary child of destiny traverser, who will come here to adventure and start a legendary journey.

Then such a person should have a very high force, or an unparalleled weapon, with a deep presence in his eyes, and then show very compulsive force, and have a little brother.

Lillard looked around and didn't see this kind of person with the temperament of a protagonist. Could it be that in fact, this kind of real dragon breath is oneself?

Looks like I'm going to slaughter the orcs as expected. Although they are a little difficult to deal with, in fact, as long as they advance slowly, they can still defeat them. But there are so many people in the church who look at it, and they can't show their strength. When designing tactics, it should also be more rational, but don't you also say that the world master of the game is the strongest, and the master is also afraid of indiscriminate strength.

It wasn't long before Lillard was enjoying his ego before he was interrupted. The person who came was still Karina, and she looked like she was cheering, not like an ordinary girl at all. Hawkers, how could this kind of person be a girl. From her smug look, Lillard felt that he seemed to be making things difficult for her, and it seemed that he should have done it. But isn't that unscientific? Where can a lord give land at will?

Besides, isn't this kind of reward territory generally conferred knighthoods and the like? If according to some medieval novels and Western fantasy novels that I read, this kind of knighthood has to go through a grand ceremony to allow myself to accept the approval of others. I also have to make my family situation worse, and what kind of heraldry do I want.

"Follow me, don't talk later," Karina grabbed Lillard and ran towards the Stone Castle. Lothar watched from afar, but did not show any objection.

Actually, it's quite difficult to make Lillard think intellectually that this is a small town. Lillard prefers that this is just a slightly more populous village. There were no rough walls made of stone, a population of just over 5,000 people, muddy land, residential areas with floating garbage, and silent freedmen who dragged their families and mouths ready to leave.

It only takes less than an hour to walk from one end of the city to the other, except for the city center, the regular three-story building adventurer's guild, and the slightly imposing temple of the goddess of earth and fortune, which makes this place look civilized, and most of the stone houses look much higher than the surrounding wood, mud and uneven stone houses.

In comparison, the warrior school and the magic academy invested and built by the kingdom look all made of wood, and it looks quite magnificent in terms of specifications, which is better than the surrounding residential houses, but it is much worse than the adventurer's guild.

Situated on the top of a hill on the riverside to the north of the town, the stone fort is not particularly tall, but because of the topography, the residents of the city have to look up at the four-story building every time they look this way, hard, gray-black, cold and damp, so that people here feel a little flustered illusion when they look at it. No one is allowed to live in the surrounding area, so two three-meter-high stone walls are specially built with stones, and there is a hard wooden gate with a thickness of 20 centimeters.

Walking inwards through the door, past the stone wall, and along the cobblestone road for nearly a hundred meters, Leiard finally came to the door of the stone fort.

The door was open, and when you walked in, you felt some cold aura lurking behind you, the cold flickering candle flame, the dim shadows, the almost palpable moisture on the ground, and the endless blocks of stones, making this stone castle a very uncomfortable experience for Leillard. Compared to here, he would rather live in the Adventurer's Guild, which has better lighting.

After passing through the stairs, Leiard made his way to the top floor of the stone castle. Once here, the horizon became broader. According to Lillard's own understanding, the first floor is the garrison, the second floor is where the servants and some of the city guards live, the third floor is where the baron lives, and the hall on the fourth floor is estimated to be used for banquets and guests, so the lighting environment on the fourth floor is very good, and there are several balconies, presumably to facilitate people to talk privately, and from a military point of view, they can also monitor the surroundings at all times.

The baron whispered to his butler in the hall of more than three hundred square meters, he should be looking at and assessing the combat power of this Leillard, judging from his facial expression, it is obviously not optimistic. If there's anything more annoying than an unreliable knight, it's an unreliable female knight with a strong sense of justice. Lillard sighed in his heart.

"Baron, this is the warrior I recommend to you" Karina looked at the baron in front of her with a righteous and serious face, the baron has a long belly and poop, and his skin has a sickly white, he has been trapped in his own stone castle for a long time, and his greatest pleasure is to go out to bask in the sun, riding his own horse and taking a few city guards around his small city twice, and occasionally going out to urge his subordinate villages to pay taxes.

Perhaps when the family was divided here, they had not given up training for militarization, and the well-organized army had exterminated the surrounding goblins to open up their own territory, and since the establishment of the Adventurers' Guild more than a hundred years ago, the lords of this remote town had lost their desire to open up, and were dedicated to earning more gold coins from the wealth created by their ancestors.

The natural conditions here are abundant, and the grain is highly productive, and it is only natural that if a third of the grain of the villages that depend on him for protection is levied, those people will be happily called saints, and that is of course. In those inland cities, these families who have relocated usually hand over half of their grain. However, these people have to face an endless infestation of goblins. Fortunately, it is cheap to hire adventurers. Most of them are found by the village to find adventurers at their own expense.

If you change the baron and spend it yourself, it is estimated that you will be distressed to death.

The baron tried his best to open his little mung bean eyes, a large number of people with a good face in front of him, one meter six or five tall, with scattered golden hair, and a pair of dark green eyes, looking so-so and a powerful man, but this kind of big man, the baron himself has seen a lot, several of his city guards are recruited in this way, the force is passable, maintaining law and order, and collecting taxes is also effective. But after accompanying those adventurers to fight the goblins, they all died.

Will this man work?

But it's recommended by the troublesome people of the Sun God Sect, and I have to go there to mix, if I offend these people, I don't know if those people in the city will give their little country lord small shoes to wear, if everyone pushes and shoves, the orcs on the edge of their territory don't know how many litters they have, and the people run away, and it will be troublesome to find them back, and this world is too difficult to mix.

Frowning, the baron was in trouble. It would be nice if there were powerful adventurers who came forward to help, but the money didn't want to be more, and recently the money was invested in the viscount's financial plan, saying that it was to send someone out to buy a batch of goods, and sell it back to make several times as much money, otherwise he wouldn't have taken out 30 gold coins, hey, it's still much better in a peaceful world. Anyway, let's deal with these two people first, and see if we can urge the viscount to send someone to clean up the scene.

The baron, who had made up his mind, also became kind on his face, but the eyes of mung beans and his face were full of fat, and he tried his best to squeeze out a smile and look very happy.

"Knight Commander Karina, in fact, I believe in you, I fully support you for this act of destroying evil and spreading the divine light, and I am also very optimistic about this warrior you brought. Since you trust him so much, I won't do any more testing. Let's just write a contract."

The baron took out two copies of parchment from a box, on which was written a deed in neat handwriting, with a rough outline of the barony's domain, and the baron's family coat of arms and signature at the bottom.

"I can now entrust this warrior to join you in the crusade against the invading orcs, and if it succeeds and the orcs here are wiped out, I will lobby Viscount Leon of Dorette City to give this warrior a letter of appointment from the baron, and the fief is on the piece you are talking about" spread out the parchment, and the contract he said was exactly what he said.

"Wait, Lord Baron, didn't you say that this is also within the scope of your fiefdom? You should be able to grant this warrior knight title without the Viscount's authorization, that is not very simple??? as long as you approve it, it will immediately have legal effect. ”

Karina's face, which had always been very calm, now felt a little less good-looking, and it looked different from what had been said before.

"Yes, it's theoretically my fiefdom, but I voluntarily gave up my territory there, there was no output, the felled trees could not be transported, the abundance of goblin nests, and the barren land did not benefit me at all.

If I had given this warrior knight status. First of all, I need to allocate the nearest village to my name as his income fief, you might say, as long as that land, but according to the law of the kingdom's vassal rights and duties, I must ensure that my knight's income can support him to maintain his armed forces. De jure must give a fiefdom with income. Otherwise, I'll be troubled by the old men of the noble council.

Then the problem now is very simple, anyway, the noble title is very cheap, I can pay hundreds of gold coins to buy the baron's letter of appointment as the reward for this mission, and the next thing is the problem between you and the viscount, and if you get the status of a baron, and you succeed in expanding the land in that ruined castle, you will have the ownership of the surrounding ten kilometers of land by default, anyway, whether it works out or not, it will be your business at that time.

After signing this contract, when you defeat the orcs, I will guarantee you when you can get the baron's authorization"

The baron seemed very cheerful at this time. Obviously, the Viscount has been selling this kind of nominal baron and Baron Senhai for a long time, and he has seen many people who want to run to open up the territory, but in the end they are all killed in the pit. The most successful one is the family that set up a ruined castle on the mountain, and finally one night, the goblins attacked and the family died, and then everyone learned to be obedient, and they only bought the title of knight.

What's more, after becoming a baron, you need to pay taxes every year, and the person who buys the title of Baron Senhai is similar to other titles, it costs 300 gold coins, and then you need to pay 30 gold coins in taxes to your feudal lord every year. If you become a real noble, you need to pay a tax of 100 gold coins per year. The default minimum territory range for countries with only 10 km to start with, and military service to the lord is also required.

If he fails to pay taxes on time, or perform military service, or convert military service into money, the barony can cancel it at any time and hand it over to him to manage, and then as long as he spends a little money, he can buy the developed territory. Anyway, even if others gain a firm foothold, they only have 10 kilometers of land, and it is a big deal for them to intercept the people who go there, and then strengthen the entry and exit taxes, leaving the population behind, and other people's fiefs will naturally not be able to develop. You can also continue to be infested by goblins and ask the other party to chase down goblins.

Even if all of this can be done, it will take money to expand the territory. That ticket is a dime a dime, except for goblins or goblins, how can there be money to be made. In the end, it is estimated that it will be abandoned.

This kind of thing, the baron's family and the viscount have done it many times together, and the familiar way makes perfect, and they can lobby and lobby themselves, and they can spend 100 gold coins to help him win the title of the viscount. In any case, it is much cheaper than the military expenses of inviting the noble alliance or multiple teams of silver-level adventurers to go out and exterminate them.

Lillard and Karina had no idea what was going on, but they talked to each other and felt that it was a good note, so they signed a contract to leave the stone castle to clear the orc's equipment.

The baron breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the two of them leaving, he was still afraid that this female knight would come to theorize again, and then the matter would be a big deal. After appointing a city guard to accompany these people to the adventurer's guild to clear the orcs, he commanded his subordinates to load valuable belongings into a carriage and take advantage of the bright sky to run to Dorette City, dozens of kilometers away, to hide. The rain is getting lighter and lighter, and the orcs are going to patrol the mountains.
