All those special fabrics have been dyed, and the rest is to make them into all kinds of underwear and stockings.

The thought of having another way to make money made Gordon excited. After all, there are not too many gold coins.

When Gordon left the castle and headed for Mount Wesula, the Earl's coffers were still abundant. Although the water element key that didn't come in handy in the end cost him a lot of money, the money in the vault was more than enough to support the entire territory for a year.

But now, although he is not like the one or two gold coins that he had to spend carefully as he did when he just crossed over, he has not yet reached the point where he can squander it unscrupulously.

First of all, because of the special topography of the Haiwen Peninsula, he had to build a strong enough navy to fight pirates, protect trade fleets, and deter other noble forces. And building the navy is a very money-burning thing. Just continue to renovate and improve the flagship of the Navy. The Antello is a big black hole that devours gold coins.

Although the area of the Haiwen Peninsula is large, the territory that Gordon actually controls now is the territory that can be effectively governed, that is, the territory of an ordinary imperial county.

The scope of the Ferreton aristocratic territory is divided according to the number of people under its jurisdiction, and there are four types: knighthood, barony, earldom, and dukedom. The viscount is an honorary title with a higher status than the baron, but the territorial rank is the same as that of the baron. A marquis, on the other hand, is a special title below the duke and above the earl, usually under two or three counties.

Duke is the highest title under the Emperor. The Ferreton Platinum Empire has a total of seven provinces. There were twenty-four dukes. However, among the dukes, there is also a special kind of cunzài. That is the level of the "Grand Duke". In the lingua franca of the world of Telos, the word "Grand Duke". It is to add a prefix "guranta" in front of the duke, which means "great".

Rob. The reason why Antelo has the title of Grand Duke is because he holds all four duke titles in the province of Far Frost. Moreover, the Emperor Majesty implemented a special royal law throughout the Northland. The Grand Duke of Antelo gave considerable autonomy.

The reason for this was because His Majesty the Emperor understood that after the previous fiasco of losing all the territory outside the Great Wall of Anduin, there was only this archmage who was known as the orc slayer. Able to stabilize the situation and help the empire defend against the threat from the barren tundra.

Of course, Grand Duke Antelo lived up to expectations. Successfully thwarted the winter offensive orchestrated by the orcs and the cultists of the Three Holy Baptists, and tried to protect the homeland.

However, now, although Faria, who inherits her father's business, still holds four duke titles, she compromises with other forces. She only retained the direct domain of the Duke of Antona, which was adjacent to the Dagger Valley in the province of Green Gorge. The other duke titles have become honorary titles. The actual territory has been occupied by other hyena-like nobles. There is no way, it is inevitable that the power of the thinly populated Antello family will shrink after the death of the Grand Duke. If you keep it tough, I'm afraid it will be a civil war between the nobility for the territory.

In the world where Gordon is located, the human beings of the entire earth have been unified to form the Earth Federation. So at first, he felt very strange about the fact that the emperor of Ferreton allowed his vassals to fight all day long. It wasn't until later that he realized that the royal family of Ferreton was not stupid, and that they gave such a high degree of autonomy to their vassals. There are also their own considerations.

Although Ferreton now has a noble voting system, it is still a typical feudal society. When the empire was just being created. In order to deal with the barbarians, orcs, all kinds of alien creatures that pierce through the rifts of time and space and wreak havoc everywhere, as well as demons and demons who come to fight the autumn wind from time to time, they have to adopt a separate sealing system. The aristocracy built castles in various places to defend against foreign enemies and protect the common people.

Now, although he is aware of the disadvantages of the decentralization of royal power, it is very nerve-wracking for the emperor to try to maintain the balance of power between the imperial family and the local aristocracy, and he simply does not have the strength to improve the royal power, and finally form a highly centralized empire. Once upon a time, there was a brilliant Emperor Ferredon, who was preparing for a war with the Black Dragon Empire Northumber, so he issued a decree prohibiting civil war among the nobles.

Who knew that the nobles, who had nowhere to vent their energy, transferred all their hatred for each other to the emperor's majesty.

In the end, the emperor died before he could go out of school, and on the way to the Black Dragon Empire, he unfortunately fell off his horse and died.

Heaven is pitiful, that emperor is also a top martial artist above the fifteenth level, how could he fall to his death from a horse?

So later, the supreme ruler of Ferreton understood a truth: it is better to let his vassals fight and kill. In this way, at least they will not have the energy and ideas to unite against themselves.

Then someone is going to ask. With such a loose ruling structure, would it be able to withstand an attack from a strong enemy?

It is true that Ferreton's imperial power is not high. But don't forget, there's such a thing as faith. The nobles could obey the orders of His Majesty the Emperor, but if the Platinum Temple called on the people of Ferreton to unite and fight the evil believers of Tiamat, it would definitely be a grand occasion for the whole country to mobilize and have money to pay.

After all, this is a world where the gods really exist.

On the Northumbrup side of the Black Dragon Empire, the situation is similar to that of Ferreton. Moreover, Northumbard implements an electoral system, and the great nobles with the title of duke in the empire can run for the throne of the emperor. This is also in line with Northumbraard's national philosophy: the law of the jungle is the strongest, and the winner is king. Every Northumbrård emperor is almost always a strongman who can play yin with dagger poison behind his back, and can be tough on the battlefield and defeat all opponents on the throne.

In Ferredon, the knights ruled over two or three villages, or a small town, with a population of less than 10,000 people. The population size of the barony is less than 100,000. In other words, Gordon, the Earl of Hyven, now has a population of more than 100,000, which is exactly the lower limit of the county.

With such strength, it is necessary to support a strong enough navy. And an army that can at least play a role in a skirmish, is not an easy task. But without a navy, trade on the peninsula could not be guaranteed. This territory is even more undeveloped.

Now that the Ferreton version of nylon can be made in time, that is, there is one more lucrative way to make money, how can Gordon not be happy. He wants to build a mage tower and create a powerful puppet dragon, which is extremely expensive.

Gordon, a very generous lord who can make a lot of delicious sweets, is naturally very fond of the ice elves. The little ones enjoyed their meal with joy. It also enlivened up the atmosphere of the dinner.

Gordon savored the tender meat on the tips of his wings as he considered what to do with the nylon fabrics. Although with his amateur painting skills on the earth, it is okay to design some clothes. But he didn't know anything about how to make these fabrics into clothes that could be worn on his body.

But fortunately, he now has experts in this area in his territory.

Gordon was once invited by Lady Dinah to attend the inauguration of the temple of Lilya, the goddess of pleasure. At the ceremony, the devotees of Learya, led by Lady Dinah. All of them are shining. It's beautiful. Moreover, the clothes on these female pastors are unique, which can show off the feminine charm to the fullest, which is extremely attractive.

Later, Gordon made a special trip to ask Lady Dinah, and learned that the clothes worn by the priests of the goddess of joy at the celebration were all cut and designed by themselves. It seems that these beautiful women are not only good at seducing men, but also very good at needlework. So Gordon felt that it would be most appropriate for them to leave the work of making new materials and clothes to them.

When the clothing samples are in hand, they will make a name for themselves and then expand the scale of production. Let the clothing of this new material be popular throughout Ferreton, and Gordon will naturally be able to make a lot of money. Earn big bucks.

After the meal, while the servants were removing the remnants of food from the table, a messenger suddenly ran in.

"Your lord, your letter was brought by a merchant ship that has just returned from Changxia Province." The Courier handed a brown envelope to Gordon.

Gordon took the envelope and found that the seal had been solidified by a block of red wax. On it is printed with a phoenix motif with wings spread, which is also the symbol of the Phoenix family.

"To the most honorable Count of the Empire, Lord of the Hyven Peninsula, Rob. Archduke Antelo's successor, guardian of High Rock, nemesis of cults and orcs, Gordon. Mr. Freeman ......"

The flurry of salutations at the beginning of the letter was enough to make people feel dizzy. However, it is a pity that among these titles that describe Gordon, only the Imperial Earl and Lord of the Hyven Peninsula are real, and the others are just worthless names. Moreover, Gordon's own most recognizable identity - mage, but the other party did not mention a word.

There were three pages in the envelope. The first page begins with a letter of lengthy aristocratic politeness, written by Veronka. Written by Ms. Phoenix. I didn't expect that the aunt of Miss Ji'er, the heroine who controlled the entire family fleet, wrote such a letter in such a literary manner, which was really surprising.

However, although there is a lot of nonsense in the letter, the main meaning is still clear. Ms. Veronka wanted Gordon to make a trip to the province of Changxia. Because the current head of the Phoenix family, I want to be able to meet him.

The last time Ms. Veronka led the fleet to Seacliff Castle, a series of matters of cooperation were determined. Gordon still has 500 sailors trained in the opposing fleet. Although the two families launched a series of cooperation, Ms. Veronka's main purpose, marriage, was not achieved. This time, the head of the Phoenix family, that is, Miss Ji'er's father, invited him, and I don't know what the purpose was.

Of course, this invitation cannot be refused.

Besides, Gordon can also take the opportunity to go to the prosperous province of Changxia to sell his nylon clothes, plus order special stones for the construction of the mage tower. By the way, you can also visit places like the Mage Guild to see if you can get a six-ring magic book to study.

Ms. Veronka's letter is about business. The other two letters are private matters.

One of them was sent by Miss Ji'er.

But even if the girl was not face-to-face, but only with paper and pen, she would not express her thoughts frankly. In the letter, she talked about how wonderful the martial arts competition in Changxia Province was, and how lively the banquets held every day were. Then he told Sù Gordon that if she heard that she was going to come, she could reluctantly deign to be his guide and go around.

Other than that. The eldest lady also mentioned that during this time of the jousting conference, there were many excellent warriors from Ferreton and even the entire main material world around her. He praised several of the knights for their strength and grace, as well as their noble status.

If Gordon is a hairy boy and loves this eldest lady very much, then after reading this letter, he will definitely be jealous. I can't wait to fly to Ji'er's side immediately and get rid of all the hateful men around her. But it's a pity that this little girl's little trick. He had seen through it a long time ago. And there are enough problems with the women around him, and he doesn't have too urgent thoughts about this eldest lady.

After reading Miss Ji'er's words, although they are twisted, there is no lack of cuteness. And he is still playing a letter that wants to catch and indulge in little tricks. Gordon picked up the third page.

This was written by her sister Sheona. At the beginning are some simple but warm greetings that only the two brothers and sisters who depend on each other can really taste. Then, it was Xie Ona who told about what she had encountered in Changxia Province.

The writing is not like the crepe of the standard Ferreton aristocracy like that of Lady Veronka, nor is it like Miss Ji'er's awkwardness that hides her careful thoughts. The letter from my sister is like a short story about the family, and the text is full of peace and tranquility, making Gordon feel as if he can feel the peace of mind with the people closest to him.

Although Xie Ona also complained that there were a lot of men around her every day, most of the content was still about what she saw and heard at the martial arts competition. She was inspired by the experience she gained while watching the other fighters fight. But unfortunately, she still couldn't find someone who was good enough to be her sword teacher. Someone who guides her through the maze. Those so-called seniors who were invited by the Phoenix family to attend the tournament may have strength and fame. But the most powerful of them is not as good as Ms. Bishop.

And Ms. Bishop didn't think she was qualified to be Sheona's teacher, and of course those people didn't.

However, the little sisters Eli and Elaine, who followed her, encountered a big opportunity. They meet a mage who is perceived to have the talent of a spellcaster. Now the two of them have officially started and become mage apprentices. And it is said that the talent is okay, and it will only take a few more months to become an official mage.

This came as a surprise to Gordon. If he had known that the two sisters had the talent of spellcasters, he would not have just let the two of them do some work of serving tea and pouring water. It's a waste. With two mage assistants by his side, Gordon didn't know how much time he had left and how much energy he could save.

But he can't be blamed for that. Gordon himself is so young and still in the learning stage, how can he become a teacher? And he never thought that among the four servants introduced by Du Luo at the beginning, there would be two Cun Zài with the talent of casting spells.

In addition to Eli and Elaine's affairs, Xie Ona also mentioned another girl who has a deep relationship with Gordon in the letter. That's Renus. Miss Reinhardt. For this heroic young lady of the Holy Warrior, Gordon misses her a lot.

After Renus and Gordon parted ways in the Northlands, they returned to the Temple of Dawn's headquarters in Doron Harbor. The port of Dolong is located in the province of Chang Ha. This province with fertile land and a strong maritime trade was the richest area of Ferredon outside of the central province, and was the archdiocese of the Church of the Dawn.

Port Doron was not a fiefdom of the Phoenix family, but a direct domain of the Church, which only paid taxes to the Anduin royal family. However, it is less than 30 kilometers away from the capital of the Phoenix family's fiefdom, the city of Freijes. So it's not incredible that Sheona was able to meet Renus.

However, the paladins did not come to Freiris City for the sake of the tournament. Whether it is Meridia, the goddess of dawn and life that Renas believes in on the surface, or Titos, the goddess of blood and revenge that she truly believes, they are not savers who are keen on competition, fighting, and prize money. Among the warriors who participated in the tournament, Kord, who was known as the Lord of Storms and Lightning, was the god of competition, strength, and battlefield skills.

Renus had come to Freiris City to track down the cultists.

Although the power of the Three Holy Baptists was greatly damaged in the First World War in the Northlands, it was followed by a top-down purge of the entire empire. However, the worshippers of these demon lords are like hundred-legged insects, dead but not stiff, and there are still some remnants of forces hidden in the empire, ready to move. Moreover, in addition to the Three Holy Baptist Churches, there are many other cultists, both famous and strange, who believe in the devil, or are tempted by the devil, or worship some powerful and evil beings in the outer realms, and brew all kinds of terrible conspiracies.

Xie Ona didn't have much to gain at the tournament, so she simply went to help Renus track down the cultists.

Although he didn't want his sister to do such a dangerous thing, Gordon also knew that he couldn't be overprotective. The younger sister is no longer a flower in a greenhouse, but a true warrior capable of orc war warlords, and a battlefield angel of the entire empire. She knows what she's doing and has the ability to take responsibility.

However, the rest of the letter still surprised Gordon.

The cultists that Renus tracked down were called the Cult of the Dead One. They professed to believe in the ancient god of darkness, Joah, and spread the word that "all things are coming to an end, and only darkness and death can usher in eternal life." This method of creating an atmosphere of panic by relying on apocalyptic lies to attract believers to strengthen the sect is already rotten.

However, there are still some oddities about this Death Sect, otherwise it would not have attracted the attention of the Temple of Dawn. (To be continued......)
