Chapter 1052: Eighth-Class Aristocrat

The list not only contains information about each nobleman who was knighted, but also the "Regulations of the Knighthood" that introduces the kingdom's titles in detail, and Liszt reads it very carefully.

The title of the Flame Kingdom is officially named the eighth rank.

The highest rank is the king, the second class is the prince or grand duke, and the third class is the duke, and these third classes belong to the upper nobility. The king is the only title of primogeniture, and all knights in the kingdom must follow the king unconditionally or conditionally, and obey the king's dispatch.

The Prince and the Grand Duke are equal titles, and the Prince needs to have the royal bloodline, which is the blood of the Flame Family, and become a dragon knight. The Grand Duke has no bloodline restrictions, but must ride a dragon that is not owned by the kingdom - that is, dragon knights trained by the royal family cannot obtain the title of Grand Duke.

In other words, if you don't have a dragon of your own, you don't want to become a Grand Duke and build a new country.

Dukedoms are a bit more complex, and there are three main sources of origin.

The first aspect is that if the son of the Grand Duke fails to ride a dragon, he will be demoted to the rank of duke and continue to manage his country; the second aspect is that the dragon knights trained by the royal family can obtain the title of duke after making military achievements; and the third aspect is that the domain knights have repeatedly made military exploits and can also be promoted to duke as appropriate.

However, except for the heirs of the Grand Duke, as a dragon family, any qualifications can inherit the title of duke by hereditary succession.

For the other two duke titles, the heir must become a realm knight in order to inherit smoothly - in order to prevent the accidental death of the duke and the lack of cultivation of the heir at a young age, it will be relaxed by one generation. In other words, the duke's son is still a duke, but if he can't cultivate a realm knight, his grandson can only be a marquis.

......

list.

The prince did not, the Grand Duke did not.

There were only three proposed candidates for the duke.

Among them, Anthony Sapphire, Duke of Sapphire, is just a name, and is not included in this division - there is no need to divide it, the Duchy of Sapphire is an independent vassal country.

Two others.

The Duke of Tulip Island, William Tulip, is the second largest island in the Flame Islands, with an area of 450,000 square kilometers, and the Duke of Sycamore Island, Piero Gray Iron, is the fief of Sycamore Island, which is the seventh largest island in the Flame Islands, with an area of 170,000 square kilometers.

The Tulip Family and the Gray Iron Family all have "Domain Knight Cheats". As long as the descendants are not too wasteful, it is not difficult to cultivate to the realm knights, and they can inherit the title of duke by hereditary succession.

"Father, the Marquis of Saltwater, Bru Boxi, was promoted to the Duke of Mermaid City, and the fief was designated as Mermaid City. Liszt thought for a moment and added.

"According to the Kingdom's "Knighthood Regulations", the title of the feudal city is only to the marquis, and the Duke of Mermaid City does not meet the "Knighthood Regulations". William Lee said.

The "Knighthood Regulations" is a knighthood system approved by Liszt before, although he often thinks about it one by one, but it is not good to slap himself in the face too often. Therefore, he pondered for a moment and said, "Then make Bruposi the Duke of Mermaid Collar." ”

"But the Mermaid Territory belongs to the territory of the Flame Island, didn't you say that the Flame Island will not divide the nobles outside the Burning Legion?"

"Well...... Liszt pondered for a moment, and then said, "The mermaid's sub-seal will be added to the "Knighthood Regulations" as an exception, anyway, it has not been officially published yet, and there is room for revision. In the future, the mermaid's territory will be divided into the sea around the Flame Islands. ”

After a pause, he continued: "Bruboxi's title is set as the Duke of the Saltwater Sea, as for the Saltwater Sea, there is no need to ask where it is, her fiefdom can choose Mermaid City. ”

So after talking for a long time, he still denied the previous "Knighthood Regulations".

For his second son, William Li is probably used to his style of acting, and he doesn't care about revising the "Knighthood Regulations" again.

Instead, he asked, "Bruposi is the duke, and the other six mermaid marquises, do you want to divide them together?"

"No, Bruposi stayed in the Flame Kingdom and seriously managed the Mermaid City, thanks to the country. The other six mermaids have all gone to travel around the world, how can they be crowned dukes if they are not doing their jobs...... Their notions are still alive in ancient times, and they must understand that they can only gain status and resources if they merge into the Flame Kingdom. ”

The mermaids sail around the sea for almost a year.

Although they were tasked with surveying and mapping the coastline of the legendary continent, it was obvious that they were having fun outside, and the mapping of the coastline was only a little completed.

Liszt was not satisfied with this, and urged them several times, but could not get them to relent.

Therefore.

He was quite resentful, and only divided Bruposi as a mermaid.

......

The fourth-class title of the Kingdom of Flames is the Marquis, and the fifth-class title is the earl, and these two titles belong to the middle nobility.

In fact, Liszt originally planned to divide the dukes into upper dukes and lower dukes. An upper duke is a duke with a fiefdom and is classified as a superior noble, and a lower duke is a duke without a fiefdom and is classified as a median nobleman. In this way, it is possible to put together a system of titles of three classes for the upper, middle and lower levels, and a total of nine ranks.

But in the end, this was not done, because instead of dividing the dukes into the lower ranks, it was better to create a new title.

And he had another idea - to deliberately dilute the status of the subject state in order to reflect the authority of the king. After all, the monarch of the duchy is a duke, and the general fief lord also has a duke, which means that the subject country is just a larger fief, even if you are a dragon family, you are only a follower of the king.

So, in the end, the only middle nobles were marquis and earls.

The inheritance of these two titles needs to reach the level of Sky Knight, which can be graced by one generation, but the next generation still does not give birth to a Sky Knight, so it must be demoted.

in the list.

The first Marquis is Emily Flame, Marquis of Jade City - as a knight of the Emerald Dragon, Liszt asked Emily if she wanted to become a fiefdom nobleman, but Emily decided to join the Burning Legion, hoping to follow Liszt's side for the rest of her life.

So Liszt gave her the surname "Flame" and made the jade city near the Dragon's Nest Jade Mountain, where Ethan lived, as her sealed city.

The second-ranked marquis is the Marquis of Pea Island, Di Maria Yuhuashi, and his fief is half of Pea Island. Pea Island is the eighth largest island in the Fire Archipelago, with an area of 150,000 square kilometers. However, except for Di Maria, Pea Island did not divide other nobles.

As the first marquis to take refuge, Liszt had promised Di Maria that when the Yuhuashi family had accumulated enough military exploits, he would be promoted to the Duke of Pea Island.

The entire island of Pea will become the fiefdom of the Yuhuashi family.

The third-ranked marquis is Jeffrey Fleur Aoi, the Marquis of the Left Leader of the Jewel, and the fief is half of the Jewel Island, that is, the Left Collar of the Jewel. Gem Island is the sixth largest island in the Fire Isles, with an area of 220,000 square kilometers, divided into two realms - the left and right of the gem.

Jeffrey is a Perfection Sky Knight who was captured as an earl in the Eagle Kingdom and excelled after his surrender.

The fourth-ranked marquis is Jevic Water Peanut, the Marquis of Xionghuang City, and his fief is Xionghuang City, the gateway of the Flame Kingdom in the legendary continent - surprisingly, Yevic did not choose a fief noble, but chose to join the Burning Legion and become a feudal nobleman.

He is still disguised as a great nobleman of the Eagle Kingdom, promoting the internal fighting of the Principality of the Wind and Snow Mountains.

The fifth-ranked Marquis is Paris Flame, the Marquis of Flame City, and his fief is Flame City. Like Emily, the Great Swordsman of Light and Fiend, Paris, who has become Liszt's lover, chose the Lockdown nobles and also received the surname "Flame" given by Liszt.

The sixth-ranked Marquis is the Marquis Durt Red Apricot of the Right Leader of the Jewel. He was one of the first captive nobles of the Eagle Kingdom to develop the Flame Island, and he was originally an earl, and in recent years, he has made many military exploits and was able to be divided into marquises.

The seventh-ranked marquis is the Marquis de Thorns, the Marquis de Kale, whose fief is one-third of the Isles of Thorns, that is, the Thorns. Mendez is the marquis of the former Gray Iron Duchy, a Sky Knight of the Perfection Level, but he has not shown much performance after joining the Flame Kingdom.

Thorn Island is the fourth largest island in the Fire Archipelago, with an area of 270,000 square kilometers, and is divided into three realms - the upper thorn collar, the thorn left collar, and the thorn right collar.

The eighth-ranked marquis is Nikel Bellows, the Marquis of Dragon Valley City, and his fief is Dragon Valley City on the edge of the Dragon Pit Giant Mine. The bellows family is the Iron Knight family, and the Grand Duke of Sapphire transferred the bellows family to Liszt in order to fund the establishment of Liszt.

The ninth-ranked marquis is the Marquis of the Left Leader of the Thorns, Yamart Ice Shield, who is Jevic's old father-in-law and a marquis of the Duchy of the Wind and Snow Mountains who secretly defected to Liszt. For the time being, Yamat is still a marquis in the Duchy of Fengxue Mountain, and cooperates with Jevic to provoke the eldest prince and the second prince to fight among themselves.

The marquises, ranked tenth to fifteenth, are all mermaids.

Marquis of the Great West - Etheria, Marquis of the Fisherman - Gulvig, Marquis of the Waterline - Tibidais, Marquis of the Trench - Sariwala, Marquis of the Fugitive - Viswindi, Marquis of the Lost - Cocorich.
