Chapter 9: The Principality of the Minotaurs
"Captain, tomorrow is the enthronement ceremony of the regiment commander, and the old subordinates will be rewarded again, and our kerosene lamp mercenary group has finally become the ruling class. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info”
"What does this have to do with the Sprinkle family?"
"Captain, over the years, you have been born and died, and the credit in the regiment belongs to you the most, and you will definitely get a high knighthood when the time comes."
"What does this have to do with the Sprinkle family?"
"Captain, no matter how hard you say, you can't work in vain, when the time comes, you must strive to ask the head of the regiment for more territory."
"What does this have to do with the Sprinkle family?"
"It's so useful!" The half-elf was quite resentful of hatred that iron could not be made of steel, but he couldn't be angry, so he had to continue to follow the temptation, "Captain, I know that you are bent on returning to the Daiwu Continent, and you don't have any nostalgia for this place. But if you think about it, if you want to go to Daiu, you will get the seaside, right? You have to build a boat, don't you? ”
Seeing that the minotaur nodded, the half-elf immediately continued, "So you must first ask for a piece of territory with a coastline, so that you can have a chance to build a dock to go to sea." Moreover, the larger your territory and the richer your fiefdom, the easier it will be for you to raise money and materials to build large ships that can sail and to recruit experienced sailors. ”
"Ah, Yiyi, you helped me think about it very thoughtfully, and you deserve to be the deputy captain in charge of logistics in our infantry team." The minotaur nodded desperately, looking like he had just woken up from a dream.
"There are more important things," seeing that the minotaur agreed, the half-elf said triumphantly, "Didn't you say that there are still some lost companions in the Lunan Continent, as long as they hear that there is a country of the Minotaurs, they will definitely come back to join them, right?" Think about it from a distance, in the future, if the Minotaur people in the Daiwu Continent can't mix, there will be multiple retreats from a foothold, and they can also immigrate here when the situation is not good. ”
"Hearing you say that, it's a good thing to have a piece of your own territory." The Minotaur couldn't help but fall into longing.
"Captain, you can't think of such a simple thing, if a tribe wants to survive, continue, and develop, it must have a place to live and sleep, a place to eat, drink, and work, how can there be no land? Even if you have ten more pillars, if you don't have a foothold, you have to sell them to others as beams. ”
"Yiyi, thank you very much for reminding me, I will also help you get more territory when the reward is awarded tomorrow."
"Woo, I'm different from you, I've already asked the head of the regiment, and he said that if I can't get a knighthood, I won't have a territory." The more Oripas thought about it, the more sad he became, and tears fell from his eyes.
"What's going on, didn't you say that this time the captain and vice captain can all be knighted?"
"The head of the regiment said that according to the rules of the kingdom, knighthood can only be conferred upon adulthood." The half-elf's eyes were full of grievances, "The head of the regiment also said that in the mercenary group in the past, everyone could join the gang without being an adult in order to eat together. Now that he is the ruler of a country, he must have a law in his actions, and he must not mess around anymore. ”
"Then you should wait a few more years."
"I'm half-elf, half-elf!" Olipas shouted excitedly, "Captain, do you know how long my adolescence will take to end, and it will be 21 years before I reach adulthood, and this will kill me." ”
"Sounds like a bit of a long time, so what are you going to do?"
"Captain, anyway, you're going to Daiwu in the future, and after you leave, won't the territory be managed by anyone?" The half-elf patted his chest, "Who told me to be your good partner, I will follow you to your territory, and when you are away, I will take care of you." ”
“…… Whatever you want. ”
"Captain, this is a good brother! Rest assured, with my ingenuity, I will be able to make your territory prosperous, prosperous, prosperous, and affordable. ”
The golden sunlight poured through the glass windows of the dome, and the man sitting in the center was dressed in a rich gold silk robe, holding a delicate gold oil lamp in his left hand, and his voice echoed in the spacious hall with a steady and majestic voice.
"After countless hardships and ups and downs, and countless sweat and blood, we have not lost our innermost courage in the most dangerous situation, and we have never turned our backs on the pursuit of light in the darkest times. Today, we have implemented theocratic rule in the vegetarian dynasty, spreading the glory of the God of Light to all our people. It is a great historical moment for this kingdom, but it is only a small and temporary achievement in the pursuit of the faithfulness of our Lord. Gentlemen, I want you to remember that you are not only lords of your land, but also preachers of this land, and that it is your duty to guide the flame of the pious, to save the souls of the lost, and to free the sins of the astray......"
The high-ranking subordinates of the former kerosene lamp mercenary group were named one by one, respectfully stepped forward, and bowed to the big man who was the king and the sect leader, and then was awarded titles of different sizes, and was given fiefs of different sizes, and then bowed and thanked him.
"Clark Dustmill, grant you the title of Duke and head of the Papal Guard."
The minotaur was stunned for a moment, "King, do I have no territory?" ”
"Territory? What's the use of you as a minotaur to have a territory, you can't find your kind on the entire continent, is there any way for you to inherit it? Bambu asked curiously, "I can give you double the duke's salary, and the most generous public salary, much higher than the income of most lords." ”
"This is not a hereditary or not hereditary issue!" The half-elf got anxious, "Commander, in terms of merit, our captain must be the biggest, if you don't give him a little territory, how can he hold his head up if he meets his old friends in the group in the future?" ”
"Adults talk, children don't interject!" His Majesty was visibly displeased, "It seems that a new rule should be introduced in the future, and minors are not allowed to enter the court. ”
He instructed the clerk to write it down, and asked the minotaur, "Clarke, how is it, have you thought it through?" ”
"The Sprinkle family still wants a piece of territory." Chop and chop and stick to their opinions.
Could it be that he had thought about a lord addiction? But he didn't know that no one in a human settlement would want a non-human creature to be his lord. The king thought about it, and gave him a fief, and when his lord couldn't do it anymore, he would come back to be a promising head of the guard.
So Bambu said with a pleasant face, "Clark, you have always worked hard, and I originally wanted you to live a comfortable life without food and clothing, and since you insist on going to a land to engage in tedious and boring governance work, then I will give you the greatest territory, so that you can give full play to your governing talents." ”
The half-elf next to him who heard this sentence couldn't help but swallow his saliva, and his heart was very excited.
The king pointed to the map of the kingdom, "Come, take this lord's fief as the boundary, and all other lands in the southwest will be in the name of your principality." As long as the vegetarian dynasty existed, the Duchy of Clark was free to pass on to its descendants. ”
This is a casual stroke, and from the map, the scope is indeed not small, and it is enough to have nearly half of the territory of the Vegetarian Dynasty.
But the Minotaur always felt that this place was very familiar, and suddenly remembered that Haiwen had explained this area before, "King, I heard that this area is a no-man's land, and you sealed it to the Sprinkle family, the place is quite big, but what's the use?" ”
"How can there be no one to live in, such a large area, although it is a bit desolate, but as long as you look carefully, there will always be a little people." Bambu explained kindly, "In the future, as long as you work hard to develop and operate, why worry that it will not slowly develop into a prosperous and prosperous state." ”
"Even if you have a point, but on the map, you can't see a single city, and you can't even have a place where you can be the capital of the principality."
"Duke Clark, didn't I say it, you don't have to worry, you have to develop slowly from the foundation." The king patiently explained, "A duchy can be made up of one or many counties, a county can be made up of one or many towns, and a town can be made up of one or many villages." As long as you find a small village, you can first use this small village to form a single-village town, and then you can use this town to form a single-town county, and then you can use this county as a valid administrative area in the principality, and this village can naturally become your capital. ”
"Your Majesty...... You really deserve to be my regimental leader, you are so talented! The Minotaur finally understood Bambu's theory, "The Minotaur thank you for your great help to us, and future generations and future generations will never dare to forget it." ”
"That, that, as it should be. Duke Clark, I wish you a safe journey. Also, I'm always looking forward to welcoming you back. ”
A few days later, the convoy of His Excellency Duke Clark set off for the territory of his own principality. Under the vigorous financing of the half-elves, this convoy carried an innumerable number of daily necessities, and its grand scale exceeded that of any other lord, but there were only two intelligent beings in the entire team, and a large number of blank official appointment letters prepared by the half-elves could not be sent.
When the convoy came to the south gate of the big barrel city, it was about to leave the city, and the minotaur couldn't help but boil with blood in his heart, and his heart was surging, and he couldn't help but look up to the sky and mooed for a long time - my old cow finally has a world of his own!
"Yiyi, I've worked hard for you in the past two days. When you reach the territory, you will be the governor of the principality. ”
"Captain, you have finally discovered my talent," the half-elf was already full of tears and couldn't cry, "My dream since I was a child was to be a corrupt official, to make false accounts every day, to report false numbers, and to create a lot of opportunities to enrich myself......"
"One thing I want to explain to you first, since I am a duke, then the principality is the Minotaur principality, and the official culture must also be dominated by the Minotaur culture." The Minotaur said in an unusually serious tone, "In the future, everyone in the Duchy will call me Chieftain." ”
"It's okay, as long as I'm still the governor."
"In our Minotaur culture, there is no such thing as a governor. You're a mage, well, as the sheikh's supreme assistant, then you'll be the chief shaman of my principality from now on. ”
"It's too domineering!" After the scream, Oripas angrily protested,
"As a half-elf with a high sense of honor, I will not give in to your racial chauvinism."
Leaving the South Gate, the Honorable Chief and the Shaman saw almost at the same time that an acquaintance was waiting to see him off.
"I heard that the two of you are about to leave, so I hereby come to congratulate His Excellency Duke Clark and little brother Yiyi."
"Brother Haven, I'm reluctant to leave you," the half-elf looked like he was about to cry, "I'll never taste the delicious food you cooked again, and I'll miss you all the time." ”
"There is a saying in our hometown that there is no banquet in the world that will not be dispersed." Haven smiled and took out a thick book from his arms, "Say goodbye today, please accept some small gifts." This book was entrusted to me by Master Rose to His Excellency the Duke, as a thank you for buying flowers for many days, and if the Lord intends to carry forward the Minotaur civilization, it can provide a lot of help. ”
The Minotaur was very happy, expressed his gratitude one after another, and took it over with great interest, and the cover was six big characters, which read: Guide to Bombing and Killing Minotaurs.
"The master said that the person who knows you best is often your enemy." Haiwen saw the confusion of chopping and chopping, and hurriedly explained, "Since this book claims to kill the Minotaur, it naturally lists the various information of the Minotaur and studies the various habits of the Minotaur thoroughly. So, with this book in hand, what else is there not to understand about the Minotaur problem. ”
"That's, that's." After chopping and chopping, he happily thanked him, "This gift from the master is too precious and valuable to me, Mr. Haven must thank her on my behalf." ”
"It's just a gift for him, not mine?" Olipas looked greedy, "Brother Haven, you're not going to bully me as an underage half-elf, are you?" ”
"Little brother Yiyi, don't worry, this gift of mine is for you." Haven smiled and led a big red horse, "This horse is not only strong on its feet and galloping fast, but more importantly, it is also a legendary symbol of luck, which can bring good luck and joy." ”
"Great!" The half-elf hugged the red horse's hind hooves and touched it again and again, "It turns out that we only have one bull's head, and now we finally have the horse's face." This horse is so majestic and majestic, is it the legendary bloody horse? ”
"You dare to compare a horse to the Sprinkle family?" Chop and chop and roar.
"Mr. Clark, let me say a word, don't be angry." Haven smiled and patted the red horse's back, "This horse's identity is more noble than yours, you are now a duke, and it is a prince." ”
"Nonsense, how is this possible?"
"Your Excellency, have you ever heard of the Bloodline?"
"Isn't it a vampire, and the blood clan is so elegant." The half-elf interjected disdainfully and said, "Who doesn't know this kind of common sense thing, the status and ability of vampires are arranged by the method of knighthood, first the baron, and the more advanced ones are viscounts, earls, marquises, dukes, ......"
He suddenly covered his mouth and looked at the blood-red horse again in surprise, "Could it be that this horse is not a bloody horse, but a vampire horse, or a prince-level vampire horse?" ”
Hai Wen smiled and nodded, "Exactly, there have been rumors on the Lunan Continent that 'Prince Ma Zhong is born auspicious', although this horse is racially undead, but it is a rare mascot for the national fortune." ”
"Sure enough, sure enough," muttered the minotaur, touching and touching the horse, and suddenly asked, "But after all, it is a creature that sucks blood, what if it can't control it?" ”
"It's very simple." Haven replied, "When you see that His Royal Highness is about to riot, just shout 'Imperial Immunity' to him, and it will calm down." ”
"Mr. Haven," the minotaur patted him on the shoulder, "I've helped us a lot with my entry into the Vat City, and I don't know how to thank you. After this breakup, I'm afraid I'll never see you again. ”
"If you're a friend, why say thank you." Hai Wen persuaded, "If you say goodbye today, you may not see you again in the future, and in the future, Your Excellency the Duke will go to the Daiwu Continent, maybe we will meet again there." ”
"By the way, Mr. Haiwen, this name is used by you in the Lunan Continent, what do you call in Daiwu, how can I find you?"
"The surname is grass, and the name is grass and Dan."
