Chapter 27: The Baron
Viren looked Lance up and down, this little boy who looked like he was only fourteen or fifteen years old, but his ambition was not small.
"Do you know what a territory means?"
Faced with this question, Lance already had a clear answer in his heart.
"It means war, blood, and the callousness of the most fundamental interests. ”
"Isn't it good to stay here, when you come out of the Imperial Academy, I can also give you a position comparable to that of a lord. ”
"I am very grateful for Your Majesty's kindness, but I have already decided, and I hope Your Majesty will grant me a piece of land. ”
The resolute appearance is indeed very difficult for people to continue to persuade.
Viren glanced at Nosa, who nodded slightly.
"Well, I don't know, which territory do you want? one of the viscounts who just became vacant?or an earl? or this duke's domain?"
"None of that is what I want. ”
"Oh, which one do you want?"
"The village of Sit. ”
Viren seemed to have some impressions, "I remember, it was a dead place." ”
"Definitely. ”
"Why did you choose there?" looked into Lance's eyes with a little curiosity, a person so smart wouldn't want to die like this for no reason.
"Because, that's my home. ”
Viren turned to Nosa, "Lance was originally from the village of Sit. ”
"I deeply sympathize with what happened to you, since you have made your choice, well, although you have made such a great contribution to the Empire, according to the rules, you still have to start with the baron. ”
"I understand. ”
"Wait, Your Majesty. "Nossa interjected," "After all, the village of Sit is just a village, and it doesn't quite fit the status of a baron. ”
Viren's gaze fell on Lance with some surprise, he had the impression that the mentor would never say such a thing, and this kid was actually worthy of him.
"So, what does the mentor mean?"
"Why don't you give him the town of Lear that is vacant on one side? ”
Lance was slightly touched, he really didn't expect Nossa to speak for him like this.
"Okay, since the mentors have spoken for you, so be it. ”
"The town of Lil, the village of Sit, and everything in between, are your territory, how?"
There was a special meaning in Viren's eyes, which was his investment.
There was a considerable distance between the village of Sett and the town of Lear, and although the two were wastelands, it was far beyond the realm that a baron should occupy, and it was the size of a half-viscount realm.
Landing on one knee, holding your head lightly, and resting your right hand in front of your heart and chest is a standard aristocratic etiquette.
"Thank you, Your Majesty. ”
Viren nodded, caressing the top of Lance's head, looking up with the most solemn gaze.
"I, the thirteenth King of the Condor Empire, Viren, the heir of the Imperial bloodline, bestow in the name of the King the village of Reims Primorsit, the town of Lear, and the lands in between. ”
The deafening sound was like the deep words of the gods, passing through the castle, through the tree of life, and through the chaotic space, and finally gathered in the boundless dark void, causing bursts of dull roars, like muttering the oldest and most essential obscure words, exuding extremely terrifying fluctuations, and at the same time, the phantom of the great shore appeared again, thick blood surging wildly in it, and there was no edge in sight.
Lance could clearly feel that a sleeping force in his body was awakened, and a rich magic power surged everywhere in his body, but the next moment it was like mud falling into the sea, and he completely fell into peace.
Looks like this won't work.
"Now that this territory is yours, I hope you can take good care of it. Viren quickly withdrew his hand, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
His Majesty the King is really doing his own thing.
"Now I should call you Baron Reims. ”
"Mistress Nosa is polite, let's call me Lance. ”
"Then you, like Lancy, call me Grandpa Nosa. ”
"Yes, Grandpa Nosa. A soft smile appeared on Lance's face, not just a change of title, but also an acknowledgment.
In the room at the top of the castle, his bright eyes were like the brightest stars in the night sky, staring at the golden lightning that flashed in the distance, until there was no trace of it, Viren stretched out his hand, and there was an extra wound on his palm, which was healing rapidly.
"Lance, who will you be?"
The door opened, and a girl in a close-fitting black tight suit walked in, with a rudimentary proud figure, crystal blue eyes revealing the arrogance of the nobility, a beautiful face at a young age, and long red hair that was as dazzling as a flame.
"Sheena, do you see? This is genius. ”
"Father, if you are only cunning in words, you are not a genius. ”
"That can't be said, he just wanted to use the power of the lord to awaken his magic, but it's a pity. Viren also felt the slightest pain in his palm, he was a swordsman with 10,000-level magic power.
If Lance really succeeded, he would never let such a talent go unchecked.
"It is said that he survived from a median mage of the Dark Cross, and if it were you, you would ........................"
"I'll cut off the mage's head. Sheena interrupted the next sentence directly.
Wei Lun was a little helpless, his daughter is advocating the rule of force, this is indeed the most direct solution, but it is not necessarily the best, especially since they are the imperial family.
How to reverse this concept has always bothered him.
But for now, he has a perfect role model.
"Didn't you always want to go out and wander like an adventurer? ”
"Really?"
The excitement was evident on her beautiful face.
"Really, I only have one very simple condition. ”
"What's it!"
"You've got to stay with Lance. ”
"Good!"
Sheena decisively chose to agree, which surprised Viren, but the next moment, he was relieved, and easily guessed Sheena's careful thoughts.
"You will be by his side as the only attendant I have sent to Lance, you cannot reveal your identity, you cannot force him to do anything, you are responsible for his safety, and you have to do whatever he says, you are his attendant. ”
"Then I choose to refuse!" Sheena's little face flushed, how could she fight this thoughtful old father.
A treacherous smile appeared on Viren's face, "I'm the king, you're the princess, how can you go back on what you say, come on, pack up for Princess Sheena." ”
