Chapter 40: The So-Called Aristocrats
Have it? No--although the face of the poisonous insect seemed to be uglier than expected, several female heads of small nobles pretended to cover their mouths and pretended to be surprised, and the adulterer ** on the side hurriedly came to comfort them, and the entire huge conference room seemed a little warm for a while.

"Lords, this is good news, this poisonous insect that dares to provoke us has been killed......" "Hmph!"
A sudden cold snort didn't seem to affect Lawrence's pleasant mood at all, and there was even a hint of childlike innocence and joy in his greasy tone, but this little fresh tone had to appear on a greasy, pig-like adult, then it was enough to make people vomit.
In fact, many of you here have begun to vomit in the bottom of their hearts.
"It seems that I heard that the poisonous insects were not killed by Lord Lawrence's knights?" Lawrence's words were interrupted by another voice, and even though it was an interrogative sentence, a fool could tell it was an affirmative sentence.
"It is said that the knight of someone's family died in this encirclement and suppression, which did not actually make much effort?" Taunts, schadenfreude.
"Of course." Lawrence stared at the guy who made the sound for a long time, but he could still keep smiling. There was even a faint sadness in his smile, as if he was really sorry for the knight who had died heroically.
"It's Master Li Lin, a young mage born into a noble family, oh my God, Your Excellency Li Lin is young and handsome beyond everyone's imagination......" After sorting out his emotions slightly, a trace of intoxication appeared on the face of the big fat man Lawrence, "By the way, His Excellency Li Lin has always hoped to revive the glory of the family and re-enter the ranks of nobles, I propose that His Excellency Li Lin, who is righteous and resolute, is fully qualified to become a glorious kingdom baron......"
Bang bang bang.
A round of applause interrupted his words, and a middle-aged nobleman looked at Lawrence with an extremely malicious sneer.
"When did the Lawrence family become the royal family of the Romance Kingdom? Should I call you His Majesty, Viscount Lawrence~~"
"Lasol, this kind of vicious joke is not a good thing, and our King is very generous, but I think ......," Lawrence waved his hand to interrupt the sentence that the angry Lasol wanted to explain.
"If I'm not mistaken, according to the laws of the kingdom, Loren is fully qualified to appoint noble titles below the rank of baron, as long as it is reported to the royal capital later."
āā¦ā¦ The premise is that it requires the approval of more than half of the local noble council, Deputy Speaker Lawrence, am I not mistaken? An old nobleman's eyes flashed a hint of disappointment at Viscount Rasol, who was sitting back in his chair, and then his cloudy old eyes looked at Lawrence, a fat man who was obviously better at splashing dirty water.
"Of course, of course, Speaker Bender." Lawrence responded to the old nobleman's words with a smile, "That's why I solemnly propose now, suggesting that His Excellency Li Lin be appointed as a baron, and that the next ...... be discussed The location of His Excellency Li Lin's future territory! ā
Boom of a lifetime.
Almost as soon as Lawrence's words landed, the entire conference room was in chaos, even more chaotic than the appearance of the poisonous worm's head at the beginning.
"Lord Lawrence, there is no extra territory around Loren City...... a small nobleman had to bite the bullet and said, ordinary verbal nobles are just that, no matter how much there is, but like this kind of nobles with real power in the territory~~ God, fools know that the other party's future territory will definitely not be carved out of the territory of those big nobles, and in the end, it will definitely be their group of small nobles who are unlucky.
As soon as the little nobleman's question came out, more people began to echo it, and almost all the little nobles who were not hard enough in the background were a little restless.
This is also due to the laws of the kingdom, and in the initial codification, the devil knows what kind of mentality and purpose Roman I and his nobles at that time finally agreed.
It is easy to understand that the king set a maximum limit on the land under the jurisdiction of each rank and title of the nobles with real power, which is easy to understand, and was formulated by the king in order to limit the power of several great nobles in the country.
What the hell is the minimum territorial area that can be specified?
It's just that knights and the like don't enter the stream, and they don't need to be reported, but barons and other titles are ...... Honestly, even by the lowest standards, the amount of land that has been carved out is still heart-wrenching.
The most pitiful thing is that after hundreds of years, many nobles in Loren City have stepped on the cordon of the lowest territory, and if they come with such a knife~~ Well, according to the kingdom's legal code, the small nobles who have been cut off will be completely removed from the kingdom's noble sequence.
"That's right, that's right, there is no extra territory around Loren City, besides, who knows what kind of background this mage named Li Lin is......"
"Yes, yes, I think so too. Hell knows what the purpose of this guy out of nowhere is! ā
"Yes, the situation in the kingdom has not been stable recently, and there are a lot of hostile saboteurs infiltrating the ...... I didn't expect that even such a remote place as our Loren City would be targeted! ā
For a while, the group of small nobles was in a passionate mood, and some people even proposed to directly send troops to arrest Li Lin, a group of strangers who didn't know the details.
And Li Lin in the distance didn't know that his identity transformation from a hero to a hostile saboteur only took a few breaths.
It's a pity that the wise will always be in the minority, no, it should be said that it is always the top nobles who control Loren City. Besides, if the words of the majority really worked, wouldn't the mud legs with the largest number of people have long ago turned over and pressed on the heads of the nobles?
It is precisely because the clay-legged man with the largest number of people does not speak that the various proposals of the minor nobles of the majority faction today cannot shake the final decision of those big nobles in the slightest.
"Bang Bang!"
Speaker Bender picked up the hardwood that he had put aside, patted it vigorously, and when the boiling conference room became dead again, he slowly looked at Viscount Lawrence, who could still keep smiling in this situation.
This greasy fat man not only has a set of business, but also looks lucky, and Speaker Bender sighs with a little regret in his heart.
āā¦ā¦ So, what do we get? The old fox, full of age spots, said in a slow tone, as if he might take his last breath in the next moment.
However, none of the nobles present dared to underestimate this old man who seemed to be in the coffin at any moment.
