Since the War of the Gods, the fertile lands of the Roland Plains have become barren, and the Plains of Lot, while not as barren as the Cursed Lands, are not much better.

The harvest of the farmers planted in the Lotte Plains was less than 30% of that of other places, not to mention paying taxes, and it was difficult to even feed themselves, so the garrison in Rowland County used to be supplied and fed by the central government.

However, with the gradual decline of the national strength of the Chartres Kingdom, the kingdom withdrew its garrison in Roland County more than a hundred years ago, so the Chartres Kingdom only nominally owned this land for a hundred years, and in fact, its influence on the Lotte Plain was already very weak.

The vast plain of Lott was dotted with only six cities and a hundred or so towns, and the rest were small villages attached to the bandits.

Among them, the city of Lot, the seat of Rowland, is not the largest city on the Lotte Plain, but its defense is the strongest, and in this way, the city of Lott has been conquered eight times by the bandits united in ten years.

The people who were sent to the Lotte Plain were some minor nobles or nobles who offended the king and were demoted, and they looked very lightly at their life and death, and of course they would not waste a lot of manpower and material resources to send a large army to encircle and suppress these bandits.

Even if the kingdom really sent troops to exterminate these bandits, once the army left, new bandits would grow up in the Lott Plains.

If you want to prevent these bandits from rising, the kingdom has to station troops here, but this place where birds don't is not worth the kingdom's army to be stationed here, so this is a real place of freedom.

Now that Duran has given this place to Mullen, that is, Mullen, his sinister intentions can be imagined.

Draco fainted on the spot when he heard this reward, not because Draco's psychological quality was too poor, but mainly because the result was too shocking.

Before that, Drake also thought that King Durán might seal a barren land for his grandson because of his own persecution, most likely in the swampy region of the southern part of the kingdom, but that was better than nothing after all.

Who knew that King Duran shamelessly assigned a fief to Roland County, and it was better to use that place as a fief, from where not only could he not collect taxes, but he might even lose his life.

Hearing King Duran's reward, Vicky and Brown were also angry and pale, but they didn't dare to attack on the spot, so they could only grit their gums with pain.

Seeing his cheap grandfather faint with his spare eye, Ma Lun was really startled, and he couldn't stop slandering in his heart, even if he was happy, he didn't have to be so happy, but when he looked at his uncle and father, he didn't look like he was happy, which made Ma Lun have a bad feeling in his heart.

Mullen, who doesn't even have the most basic understanding of this other world, has no idea how his reward is and how dangerous his future is.

Seeing the reaction of the Buffett family, Duran felt a burst of happiness in his heart: "Let you persecute the lonely king, now be cocooned and bound yourself." But he showed a anxious look: "Quickly pass the imperial doctor, the Minister of Rites of the Lone King seems to be happy, and he will help him go down and rest." ”

The old Buffett, who had just been pinched by his colleagues, fainted angrily when he heard Duran's words.

When the waiters in the palace heard the king's orders, they immediately became in a hurry, carrying the old Buffett and calling the imperial doctor called the imperial doctor, and the hall became noisy.

When the old Buffett was helped to the side hall for rest and treatment, the hall gradually quieted down.

Only then did everyone who had quieted down turn their eyes back to the protagonist, and they couldn't help but be amazed when they saw that Malen was still kneeling in the center of the hall, unaffected by the panic just now.

The Minister of Etiquette is worthy of being the Minister of Etiquette, even the fool of his family knows etiquette, and then he thought of the fief that King Duran gave to the Buffett family, and his heart trembled, this king's heart is too small.

Now that the elder Buffett has left, Duran has lost the desire to fight the Buffett family, and ordered Malen to rush to the fiefdom within a week to end the court meeting.

Mullen, who didn't understand what was going on, was taken out of the hall by his father in a daze, and then got into his father's carriage and went home with his father.

Since the end of the court meeting, the entire Viscount's Mansion has been shrouded in a depressing atmosphere, and the servants have become cautious in their activities, and they dare not even speak loudly.

Draco was soon sent back to Viscount Buffett's mansion by the king, but at this moment he was quite weak, and it seemed that he was really angry.

As soon as he returned, Draco dragged his two sons to the bedside to confess something, and before he could finish the discussion, Clyde ran into Draco's room crying.

The plan could not keep up with the change, and when Clyde was basking in the joy of becoming a prospective duke, he learned that the fief given by the king was a cursed land full of dangers and deaths.

A panicked Clyde immediately ran to his grandfather, who was sick in bed, crying and asking his beloved grandfather to take back the order to follow him to the Mullen fiefdom.

Warren Buffett Sr. looked at this crying grandson and sighed, although he had three grandsons, he couldn't find an heir who could lead the family.

Since the ancestors, the Buffett family seems to have been favored by the god of fate, and at least one capable person will appear in the direct descendants of Buffett in the past generations, and he will lead the Buffett family to face all kinds of ups and downs.

Drake has four brothers in his generation, and Drake is the third, but Drake has an amazing acumen for politics and an amazing ability to analyze the various intertwined and complex relationships in officialdom, so he has surpassed the first two brothers to become the successor of the Buffett family.

In the generation of Jeffy Buffett and Brown Buffett, the eldest Buffett fully inherited his father's official communication skills, and quickly became Drake Buffett's indispensable assistant with his ability to make good decisions.

And Brown Buffett has lived under the aura of his father and brother since he was a child, and he is wooden by nature, silent, and has nothing outstanding, which is disliked by Drake Buffett.

However, the most fortunate thing for Draco is that Vicky and Brown have a deep brotherhood since childhood, and Brown regards his brother as his idol, and he can be said to obey his brother's words, and there will be no four brothers in Draco's area who fight for the position of patriarch.

Perhaps the god of fate can only accompany the Buffett family here, resulting in only three men in the third generation of the Buffett family, which can be described as not prosperous, and even the quality is not optimistic.

Among Drake's three grandchildren, Maren Buffett is a fool, Hardy Buffett is even more wooden than his father, and only Clyde Buffett is a little brilliant, and he barely won the title of a young talent through Drake's prestige, but as the successor of the Buffett family, both his heart and ability are insufficient.

However, looking at the third generation of the entire Buffett family, only Clyde Buffett can rely on the prestige of the two generations of Drake and Vicky and his ability to succeed Vicky as the patriarch, how can Drake be willing to let him go to danger again.

This time, maybe it's really the Buffett family who is too sharp, and King Duran obviously wants to suppress it, so that Buffett and his son, as well as the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty, understand who is the real master of the country.

On the evening of the day after the court meeting, King Durand issued another decree, ordering the new Grand Duke of Roland to set out for his fiefdom in three days, without delay.

King Duran's will first pushed the new Grand Duke of Roland into the fire pit, and in order to minimize the damage, Draco decided that such a dangerous matter could only be left to Mullen himself.

Both Vicky and Brown knew the power of it, and although they were reluctant in their hearts, they had to sacrifice this unlucky fool for the sake of the family.

When she learned that Mullen was going to her territory alone, Bella ran to Mullen's room and cried until late at night, while Mullen's father, Brown, could only sigh secretly.

Maren also gradually learned the cause and effect from the mouths of the servants and maids, and couldn't help but worry about his future, seeing Bella hugging himself and crying, thinking of his past life and this life, he couldn't help but cry with his heart.

The time appointed by the king was approaching, and it was time for Mullen to embark on his path to the fiefdom.

Although King Duran was going to send Maren to his death, basic etiquette still had to be done.

King Duran conducted the duke's canonization ceremony for Mahlen, who was about to go to the fief, on the square in front of the palace, and there were three thousand Praetorian Guards as guards to protect Mullen to the fief, of course, Maren's personal bodyguard, the famous ranger Othello, the eighth-level swordsman.

Othello could have gotten gone, and Draco had talked to him about terminating the employment as long as he returned the commission, but to Drake's surprise, Othello rejected his offer and resolutely accepted the employment of the Buffett family and escorted Mullen to his fiefdom.

The only people in the Buffett family who can follow Mullen to the fiefdom are a couple in their fifties, the man is named Ed, who drives the car for Mullen, and the woman is called Innid, who takes care of Mullen's diet and daily life.

The couple had been slaves to the Buffett family for generations, and they had only one son, and Draco promised them that if they followed Mullen to the fiefdom, they would have their son promoted to stewardship.

For the sake of their son's future and their children and grandchildren's success, the couple succumbed to Draco's coercion and temptation.

Bella cried and cried to follow Bellen, but was stopped by Brown desperately, watching Mullen's carriage disappear ahead, Bella cried and fell into her husband's arms.

Maren was deeply touched by Bella's maternal love, although he knew that it was for his predecessor Maren, but he also secretly vowed to come back and honor her if he didn't die.

There are more than 10,000 miles from the city of Chartres to the city of Lot, and although they are all on horseback, it will take at least a month to get to the city of Lot.

Othello had long heard that the honorable Minister of Rites had a stupid grandson, perhaps out of curiosity or out of concern for his employer, and Othello had been following Mullen ever since he entered the carriage.

As the sad Yiren under the tall gate of the national capital gradually blurred, Malen also retracted his backward head, lowered the curtain of the carriage, and two bean-sized tears flowed down his cheeks in his red and swollen eyes.

Then Mullen lifted the curtain on the carriage door, wiped his eyes with the wide sleeves of the Grand Duke's gown, and then looked up through the curtain to look straight ahead, and expressed deep concern.

A big question mark rose in Othello's head, who had been watching Mullen, and the new Grand Duke didn't look like a legendary fool.

Othello rode to the side of Mullen's carriage and asked, "What is His Highness the Grand Duke looking at?" ”

Mullen, who was still immersed in worries about the future, replied casually: "Ahead." ”

Othello was slightly taken aback, how could this foolish duke's tone not sound like a fool, so he continued to ask, "I wonder what His Royal Highness the Grand Duke saw from the front?" ”

"The mountain rain is coming, and the wind is full of buildings!"

When Mullen had finished answering, he lowered the curtain and lay down in the seat of the carriage, closing his eyes.

Othello was not interesting, but he concluded in his heart that the rumors were wrong, which fool was this.

At noon, they had already left the county of Chartres and entered the territory of County Otto, and slept in the city of Weimar, more than 200 miles from the city of Chartres, at night.

The county of Otto is named after the Archduke Otto, one of the nine hereditary dukes of the founding state, whose fief is located on the Ronen plain, the richest in the county of Otto.

In order to reward Duke Otto for his conquest and expansion of the kingdom's territory in the north and south, the founding king of the Kingdom of Chartres gave Duke Otto the three most fertile cities on the Ronen plain and the thirty-two towns attached to them, knowing that the entire county of Otto has only fourteen cities and one hundred and eighty towns.

The seat of Otto was not in the city of Otto, but in the city of Weimar.

Count Carmen Chartres of Otto County was a middle-aged man in his forties, who was said to be an eighth-level swordsman, and was a close branch of the royal family.

Although he heard that the Grand Duke was a fool, Carmen still made a complete set of etiquette.

Carmen personally went to the city gate to greet the arrival of the Grand Duke of Roland, and when she saw Mullen's motorcade at the city gate, she walked to the side of Mullen's carriage and bowed, saying, "Carmen Chartres, the county warden of Otto, has seen His Royal Highness the Grand Duke of Roland. ”

Maren opened the car door first, jumped out of the carriage on Mav's back, and said to Carmen: "Carmen County Guard is polite, my father is going to harass Carmen County Guard today." ”

Carmen couldn't help but wonder in her heart, isn't it rumored that Maren Buffett is not a fool, but in terms of words and deeds, it is not like it at all, but a bit of a teenager and an old man.

Although Carmen was puzzled in his heart, he said: "His Royal Highness the Grand Duke can come to my County of Otto and make my County of Otto shine, and His Royal Highness has really prepared a room for His Royal Highness the Grand Duke to rest." (To be continued.) )
