Chapter 584: Wild Rose Valley
This is destined to be a decree that will be recorded in the history of this fairy tale continent.
The "Hansel", who was privately called the "butcher king" by most of the nobles of the Alva Kingdom and incarnated by William, stipulated: All nobles, except for the eldest son who inherits the main domain of the family in each generation (the title does not change due to the reduction of the territory), the second son and third son of the rest of the nobles can also inherit a part of the family territory and become the new nobles with real power, except for the knights and lords who can not be affected by this rule.
Because most of the knights' and lords' domains are only one village or two or three villages, if they are divided again, they will become a civilian class, and they will not be able to bear the material needs of a knight's combat unit.
For the ruler of a country, the more small nobles of the class like knights and lords, the better, but it is better to have fewer large nobles.
As soon as "Hansel", or William's order, came out, it immediately caused an uproar throughout the kingdom of Alva, some people secretly rejoiced, some people hated it, and it quickly spread outside the kingdom.
It is not that the great nobles see the drawbacks of this decree, and it will lead to the continuous shrinking of the power of the entire noble family.
There is a desire to object.
But William had just suppressed the entire kingdom, and the smell of blood on his body had not yet faded, and no nobleman dared to say a word in front of him.
Moreover, this is a dignified and upright conspiracy, which is naturally hateful to the heir, but it is a great attraction to other sons who have no inheritance.
One aristocratic family, because of this decree, began to deviate from morality.
As for William's subordinates, they have just been divided into new nobles because of their rise to the rise of William, and they have not yet formed an intertwined network of interests, and they will naturally not oppose William's die-hard state.
is basically stable, and other nobles naturally dare not make mistakes.
The decree was forcefully enforced by William in William.
A month after the decree was issued, there happened to be a family of viscounts, and the old viscount died of overexcitement in bed with his lover, and his eldest son informed the noble council and inherited the title and domain of the old viscount.
But the old viscount was not the only son of him, but also several half-mothers, half-mothers, and even half-sons, and illegitimate sons.
The new viscount was a stingy man, and he didn't even want to give the severance money to the other brothers, so he swept them out of the house.
When this kind of thing happened before, the second son and third son of these nobles could only admit it, who told them not to vote for a good fetus!
But now, after William had issued this decree, the old viscount had a son who had been swept away by the new viscount, and he went directly to the palace and denounced the new viscount's behavior in full view.
This is really sleepy, and William has been looking for an opportunity to make an example of the monkey after the decree was issued.
But the situation of succession to the title is not to eat and sleep, it can be encountered at any time, at least until the previous nobleman burps or is tired of doing it.
Rao is William's supernatural powers, and he can only wait, do nothing in the kingdom, slowly restore productivity, and wait for the time.
And the matter of the new viscount is a "chicken" sent to the door by God!
William immediately dealt with the matter with great fanfare, first sending someone to reprimand the new viscount, then cutting him off a small part of the domain as punishment, and then forcibly dividing his viscount into several knightly domains and dividing them among the other sons. Of course, bastards did not have this treatment, mainly to avoid provoking a stronger revolt of the aristocracy.
William, although not afraid, is also a nuisance.
He remembered that his mission was to seek promotion to a third-level wizard, not to actually become a king.
As soon as the results of the viscount incident came out, the entire aristocratic class was shaken, and many noble sons who had no inheritance rights were greatly encouraged.
The general trend is slowly forming.
The situation in the entire Alva Kingdom suddenly changed differently, and this change fell outside the kingdom, in the eyes of some people with hearts......
Time flies, and another half a year has passed.
In the southwest of the continent, in a small country called the German-Asian Alliance, a place called the Valley of Wild Roses has come to a mysterious visitor.
He was tall, handsome, with blond hair, and looked as if he was only twenty-five or sixteen years old, but looking at his deep eyes, there seemed to be a maturity that did not belong to this youth.
This person, naturally, is William, who has returned to his original appearance and slipped out of the kingdom within the kingdom of Alva.
The land in most parts of the German-Asian Union is sandy and water-scarce, making it unsuitable for growing food, but naturally suitable for roses.
Because of this, fragrant roses can be seen everywhere in the entire German-Asian Alliance, and the people living here have long been surprised.
Although the Wild Rose Valley is full of roses and the scenery is attractive, it is not worth mentioning from the perspective of the entire German-Asian Alliance.
On the contrary, because of the rugged roads, few people are willing to trek through mountains and rivers to enjoy the beautiful scenery here, so at this time, it is rarely visited.
William, who is still wanted by the Holy See for Light, dared to show up in his true form without any disguise.
William's eyes looked at the Valley of Wild Roses with deep meaning.
The people of the German-Asian alliance have long forgotten that a long time ago, there was also a very powerful state on this land.
The people of the German-Asian Alliance have long taken the existence of roses for granted, just like the sun and moon in the sky.
They never thought, or rather, few people think, when did the first rose appear on this land? When did it begin, roses were everywhere in the land of the German-Asian Union.
And William, that's where it comes from.
If it weren't for the Wishing Toad and knowing this secret information, William might not have found anything even if he passed by here.
But now, it's different.
William spent so much energy and time sitting on the king's throne and sitting on the throne, in order not to be today.
This Wild Rose Valley is actually an entrance.
It's just that this entrance is set up very secretively, and William has upgraded the magic mirror, so he can't detect anything, he only thinks that this is a relatively ordinary-looking Rose Valley.
This is how William felt when he came over with a ruyi cloak when he was not king.
But now, William, who is already the king, suddenly feels a little different as soon as he comes here.
He couldn't say what he felt, and the magic mirror couldn't detect anything, so he had to walk around the valley at will, and the scenery in front of William's eyes suddenly changed when the light and shadow intertwined.
He looked around, where was the Wild Rose Valley where he had been staying?
