Chapter Ninety-Three: An irreconcilable contradiction
PS: The revision is in progress. o
The nobleman in front of him did not have the courage to gallop in front of him in front of him in the dark, foul-smelling commoners—he was afraid that he would be contaminated with the same rancid smell as those commoners.
The young man raised his horsewhip and asked, "Viscount Christol, what are you doing now?" Why not organize people to come to the garden area to maintain the dignity of the nobles. ”
Viscount Christol, who saw the "Golden Thorn Bird" coming, gestured to Mr. Esmunger, who had the small hand behind him. Then he said lightly: "You ask me what I am doing now?" Of course I'm doing what I'm supposed to do. In the face of calamity, I must protect my subjects in my realm. As for the garden area? Administratively, I don't have jurisdiction there. In the same way, no matter what happened there, I had the obligation not to take the initiative. ”
"What do you mean by that?" The young and vigorous man raised his whip.
"I'm just doing what I'm supposed to do!" Speaking of this, the Viscount of the "Golden Thorn Bird" glanced at the young man riding a horse below with the corner of his eye, and said, "And this young gentleman, may I ask what identity you are using to talk to me." If you're a nobleman, reveal your title. If not, please come and go where you will go, and after you find someone who matches your identity, come and talk to me about the next thing. ”
After saying this, the Viscount of the "Golden Thorn Bird" turned around and ignored the young man. Such a move directly made the other party angry, he never thought that the "Golden Thorn Bird" Viscount, who had always been extremely flattering to the royal capital in the past, would dare to say such words to himself.
With a "snap", the young man slammed the civilian not far away from him with the whip in his hand, and then turned around and galloped away in the direction of the garden area. Stay where you are, leaving only "Christol, you guy will definitely regret what you just did." ”
Viscount "Golden Thorn Bird" seemed to turn a deaf ear to his words. At the same time, he waved his hand and began to reassure the civilians who had become more agitated by the intruder - lest they do something irreversible in the anger of the civilians in front of them.
"I'm a little skeptical right now." "Did the Viscount already know that the fish-men were going to attack last night?" Seeing this qiē, Riel Li's mind suddenly opened. If it weren't for that, the timing of Mr. Esmunger's appearance of the Battle League would have been too coincidental. ”
"I don't think Viscount Golden Thorn Bird knew about the fish-man attack beforehand. Otherwise, the mercenaries of the Battle League would have arrived in Port Volta long ago. And now it seems that there is still none. With that, Barrett flicked his hat.
Rielly touched her chin and said uncertainly, "Barrett, you mean to think that Viscount Golden Thorn and the Battle Alliance decided to start the incident early because of yesterday's accident. ”
"If it weren't for the early incident, would they have used us to buy and threaten us? That Mr. Esmanger of the Battle League shouldn't have appeared in front of us so lightly. Barrett touched the Mo knife on his waist and smiled, "It's not because they are ready to start in advance, and all preparations are incomplete." He didn't even have enough weapons in his hands. ”
"If you are not fully prepared, why rush into the incident!" As if thinking of something, Rielly snapped her fingers, "You mean that Viscount Golden Thorn and Mr. Esmunger think that even if they are not fully prepared, the advantage of starting an incident now will be greater than after they are fully prepared. ”
"It is true that this factor cannot be ruled out. And those two are probably also worried, and the royal family will also follow this matter. Weaken Kristol's grip on Port Volta even more! Barrett snorted coldly at this.
Hear Claudia here. Auditore couldn't help but interject: "You mean that the royal family may use this incident to attack the Viscount of the Golden Thorn Bird?" But do they have a valid reason? ”
"Although as the military director of the gray wolf baron" Broadley is to blame. But since the royal family has done the act of depriving the lord of military power before, it is possible to be more shameless now. Rather than becoming a nominal leader at that time, it is better to take advantage of the royal family's great decline in Port Walter......" Barrett sighed as he said this.
In the face of such a royal family and feudal monarchs, as long as it is a local lord, he will definitely hate it. However, before the other party directly deprives the lord of his fief and title, it is not easy to raise the anti-flag.
But it's not just in the East that there is a saying that the name is not right, and the saying is not right. In the midst of war, the preservation of righteousness is very important - even in the dark Middle Ages of the West, when two lords fought over the fate of a hive, they had to arrange for the priests in their territories to give their actions a glossy cloak and constantly denigrate the other side of the war.
And in this world where the true God is revealed, where natural abilities fly wildly, and where contractual relationships are protected by rules. Following the established rules of the game becomes an extremely important thing. That's why the Viscount of the "Golden Thorn Bird" chose to join the Battle Alliance in this way within the rules to help the family's current predicament.
Otherwise, judging by the style of behavior expressed by the royal family of Etasia. In a few years, the name of the Viscount of the Golden Thorn Bird will probably become goldless, and the Christol family will be a nominal lord with an empty name.
The so-called nominal lord refers to the ownership of his own territory. But there are no lords with administrative and military capabilities. Although they can enjoy the taxes in the territory, but after they have no administrative ability to intervene, the amount of gold they get depends on the actions of the officials sent by the royal family.
For any noble family, becoming a titular lord is definitely a catastrophe. At some point, they were often inferior to the so-called court nobility, or at least the court nobility was rarely hostile to the royal family.
It is precisely a titular lord who will fall into such an extremely passive situation. Therefore, no matter which family is extremely resistant to this situation. The number of nominal lord families that exist on the West University 6 is very scarce.
In fact, it excludes some villain lords who are involved in the lower planes and lead the crusade of the mainstream society. Most of the remaining monarchs who used means to deprive themselves of the right to control their vassal territories did not end well.
Although those monarchs often did not die well, the nominal nobles who had been deprived of the right to control the zhì rarely regained their power—the share that belonged to them had long since been divided among the other nobles, and it was as difficult to get it back as it was to open up new territories.
So no family wants to take the risk of trying to see if they have such good luck when faced with that kind of situation. And stopping the royal family's conspiracy from becoming a reality has become their top priority.
After listening to Barrett's story, several players around him realized that there were so many curves and curves in it. Lalu kept scratching his head with his hand and said, "I don't think I want to know about things like this." Is it necessary for the nobles of this world to go around so much? ”
"What these people do, how do I feel like watching a legal drama in the classical period." Claymatis. Bot tugged at his fingers, "It's also a shame that those guys were able to come up with so many ways to circumvent the terms of the original contract. ”
"But in any case, the Viscount of the "Golden Thorn Bird" is about to collide head-on with the royal family's power left in Walter Harbor! Speaking of this, Rielly frowned, "Barrett, do you think Viscount of the Golden Thorn Bird and that Esmund of the Battle League have a chance of winning?" After all, we're on a thief ship now, and we can't get off even if we want to. If the Viscount of the Golden Thorn Bird's plan fails, we will probably find ourselves in a very difficult situation next. ”
"It's not just us players who are worried about this, the Viscount of the Golden Thorn Bird should be even more worried. If he fails, he risks losing his territory. And we are not nationals of the Kingdom of Etathasia, so it would be better to pat ourselves on the back and leave. Barrett smiled disdainfully, "It's just a big deal not to set foot on this land until the wind has passed." I don't believe that the Kingdom of Etasia can go to the whole of 6 places to arrest a few of our little people. ”
Claymatis. Bot followed Barrett's words and said, "It seems that the power of the royal family was really hit hard by the attack that night!" ”
"You don't want to know where the fish-man attacks started in the first place. The garden district in the north seems to be their main target. Barrett said and stretched out his finger, "And the royal family's power in Port Volta is now divided into three parts, the first is the city guard controlled by the "gray wolf baron" Broadley, the second is the thieves' guild that runs rampant in the slums, and the third is the private army of the holiday nobles in the garden district. ”
"How can those aristocratic private armies become the power of the royal family." Claudia. "Didn't you mention the conflict between the royal family and the local lords?" ”
"What kind of lord do you think would leave his realm and come to the south for a holiday in the middle of winter, just for the warm sun?" Barrett said rather dismissively.
Claudia. Auditore suddenly realized: "You mean those in the garden area are court nobles?" (To be continued!)
