In order to gain more hereditary land, the nobles had to work hard to serve the empire and make meritorious deeds. This also objectively maintained the vitality of the entire aristocratic class, so that they would not be corrupted and degenerated in a long and privileged life.

Now to Trajan. During Anduin's reign, 4o% of the country's land was in the hands of the Anduin royal family, and even all the nobles who owned fiefs in the country had only 2o% of the hereditary fiefs in their hands. As a result, the royal family is unprecedentedly strong.

Rob. Two-thirds of the fiefs of the Grand Duke of Antello were non-hereditary. Although the land was repossessed by the Anduin royal family and was able to receive a large sum of money, no one thought it was a good deal.

Money is tempting, but when you have a certain amount of money in your hand, it's just a number.

Land, on the other hand, is the foundation of the aristocracy.

Rob. The fief of the Grand Duke of Antelo, which is about to be recovered, is definitely a mouth-watering meal for the nobles of the Ferreton Platinum Empire. Although nominally these non-hereditary lands will be returned to the royal family, there are many loopholes that can be exploited. The moment countless nobles learned of the death of Grand Duke Antello, they had already begun to use their brains, dredge up relationships, and use their own means to prepare for a big profit.

With the rise of Drington, the Eisenstein family is naturally the most active and powerful of the forces vying for the inheritance of the Lord of Wands. Even the other two Grand Dukes did not want to clash head-on with the Eisenstein family, who were loved by the Emperor.

Among all the fiefdoms of the Grand Duke, the Eisenstein family was extremely clever and first set their sights on the Rainbow Springs Manor on the outskirts of Bishui City.

This small plot of land is not rich in minerals, nor is it a major transportation route or trading hub. If this was just a luxurious aristocratic manor, it would not attract the attention of the Eisenstein family. They want it. It is the secret legacy of Archduke Antelo who left here during his lifetime.

A powerful legendary mage, what he left behind is certainly worth a lot of money, and it has no price.

If they can obtain the treasure of the Scepter Lord in Rainbow Springs Manor, the spellcasters of the Eisenstein family will definitely gain great benefits. It can even make the family's strength in the field of magic. Take it up a notch.

In order to achieve the goal and not be preempted by other nobles, the Eisenstein family immediately sent the high-ranking mage of the family, Schlieffen, to follow Anthony, who was in charge of handling the recovery of the fief. Anduin, the royal head of internal affairs, came to the city of clear water.

The two had just arrived in Blue Water City when they received news from Derington.

"Gordon. Freeman didn't die? This is really unexpected news. ”

Schlieffen is eighty-seven years old. However, with the help of spells, he is only in his thirties. He has an elongated horse face and an extremely conspicuous hooked nose, and although his facial features are not ugly on their own, they look extremely weird. However, Schlieffen himself was extremely pleased with his appearance.

Anthony in the same carriage with him. Anduin looks much more pleasing to the eye. After all, he is a member of the royal family with Anduin blood. Unless there is a genetic mutation, there can be no ugly man in the Anduin family.

With Satyas, who often presided over assemblies of the nobility and traveled on behalf of the emperor. Compared to Prince Anduin, Viscount Anthony is only a marginal member of the royal family. According to the generation, he is still the uncle of the emperor's majesty, but he only holds the position of the head of internal affairs with little real power, and he does not even have his own fief.

This time, I was able to preside over the recovery of the Scepter Lord's territory. Or because of the help of the Eisenstein family.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that the Eisenstein family, which originally had a lot of power, is now taking the opportunity of the victory in the Northland War, and there are war heroes like Drington who are loved by the emperor in the family, and it is only a matter of time before they replace the Antello family and become one of the three pillars of the new empire.

So Viscount Anthony took the opportunity to take the big tree of the Eisenstein family early, hoping to soar in the future, instead of being a housekeeper who managed the family's chores for the emperor.

Listen to Schlieffen mention Gordon. Freeman, Viscount Anthony said, "That one with Archduke Antelo." A young mage who died to destroy the floating fortress of the Three Holy Baptists? I heard that he was active in the Battle of High Rock and was widely supported by the soldiers, and his reputation was very high. Majesty Xià has often felt sorry for this young man recently. Now that he's not dead, it's a good thing. ”

"It's not a good thing for us." Gen Schlieffen said. "Our purpose this time, but Rob. Antelo's legacy at Rainbow Springs Estate. Do you think Gordon, who has a deep relationship with Archduke Antello, will let us do it? ”

"We have His Majesty's orders, we have written laws, does he dare to stop us and openly resist? That's a rebellion! "Viscount Anthony doesn't take Gordon seriously.

"That's not necessarily, that Gordon is not simple." Schlieffen's eyes narrowed slightly, and a strange blue arcane light suddenly flashed in the Yin Owl's gaze. He worked as Evelan's teacher in the Eisenstein family, and had a long intimate relationship with the beautiful and schoolgirl. Even now, the two are disconnected from time to time.

Schlieffen heard from Ephraim about what happened to her in the Dark Elf Dungeon. Whether it is from the perspective of family interests or personal feelings, he regards Gordon as a thorn in his side and a thorn in his flesh. This time he came to Clear Water City, and it happened that Gordon was not dead, so he could help Ephran out of his bad breath.

Viscount Anthony was startled by the movement in Schlieffen's eyes, and quickly sat away, and then said with palpitations: "Mr. Schlieffen, I know that you are a high-level mage of the Seven Rings, and you are a master of the Mind School, and a random glare can make people fall into endless illusions. But please control your own abilities, and don't hurt your own people by mistake. ”

Schlieffen secretly scoffed at the "coward". However, it is true that the powerful spell-like ability "Mad Gaze", which he has only recently acquired, is not proficient enough, and sometimes there are large fluctuations in the emotion, and the arcane energy will leak out of his eyes.

"Gordon. Freeman, a five-ring mage. I'd like to see what you're capable of, and I'm going to learn from Rob. Antelo learned something from him. Schlieffen sneered.

The luxurious carriage carrying the two men, escorted by fifty royal knights, went straight to Rainbow Springs Manor.

After the death of the Grand Duke, the people were panicked, and the guards of the Rainbow Springs Manor were not as strict as before, and under the guidance of the platinum dragon banner representing the Anduin royal family, the royal knights escorted Master Schlieffen and Viscount Anthony with great swagger, swaggered into the Rainbow Springs Manor, and then stopped in front of the Grand Duke's mansion.

"Hehe, do you see, these greedy jackals are coming." Count Julian said to Gordon.

Gordon, the Blue Water City Lord, and Faria were gathering on the third floor of the mansion at this time, looking at the mighty team of people parked below.

"Although my father is dead, the Antello family is by no means a fat meat that these guys can divide up wantonly, and I will use my sword to make them understand this."

Gordon gently pressed Faria's hand holding the hilt of the sword and shook his head: "Miss, I don't need your sword yet. They couldn't take any of the things that the Grand Duke had left in the Rainbow Springs Manor. ”

The Grand Duke's daughter had returned to Blue Water City four days ago, but she was busy rectifying the Antello family guards left behind by the Grand Duke, so she stayed in the barracks until just now, when she met with Gordon.

Faria only cooperated with High Rock's military operations on the flank battlefield, and although she and the Orlandos clan had achieved a lot of success, she was unknown compared to Drington and Sheona, who became heroes of the entire empire.

However, Faria has changed a lot. She is still the tall, silvery, and beautiful girl with a "wild" flavor, but the sharpness in her eyes has become sharper and sharper in the war. The awe-inspiring temperament brought by the silver dragon bloodline in the body also began to gradually appear.

But no matter how much she has changed, her trust in Gordon has not changed. Hearing the mage's words, Faria nodded and lowered her hand.

Gordon observed the girl slightly, and now she was not unusual, and her mental condition was not depressed by the death of the Grand Duke, and he breathed a sigh of relief.

Orlandos people, who live in harsh environments, have long been accustomed to death. In their culture, there is nothing to be sad about as long as you die with glory. It was not long before the father-daughter relationship between Falia and Archduke Antello was on the right track, and she didn't even have the opportunity to experience more family affection, which was a pity, but she quickly got out of her grief.

Perhaps in the dead of night, when she occasionally touches the softness deep inside, she will quietly shed tears. But in front of others, this girl, who has inherited the title of Grand Duke, is as strong as ever.

The three of them came to the hall to greet the two envoys with bad intentions.

Gordon and Faria stepped back for the time being, and Count Julien, who was familiar with polite scenes, stepped in.

"You guys, you seem to have arrived early." Count Julian said.

The news that the royal envoy was going to start the land reclamation work had been received by Faria and Count Julian a few days earlier. They immediately began to investigate, and basically found out what kind of interpersonal relationship Viscount Anthony as a messenger and Master Schlieffen as an advisor, and which family they were fighting for.

"The death of Archduke Antelo was not only a tragic loss for the Empire, but also a great earthquake. His majesty hoped that he would be able to deal with the affairs of the Grand Duke's estate as much as possible, so that the situation could be stabilized in time and many fights avoided. So when Gen Schlieffen and I arrived at Clear Water City, we didn't have time to rest, so we immediately went to work. Viscount Anthony said.

Both Gordon and Count Julian knew that although this guy spoke in a high-sounding manner, he was only afraid that if it was delayed for a long time, the Grand Duke's estate would be quietly transferred and there would be no benefit.
