(Thank you for my love of Gao Yuanyuan and the monthly ticket for the two who love to read books on the Internet!Thank you for the 7-year-old bookworm, ai_infi, the letters after AV are free from dreams, and I like mini's reward, there are a lot of book friends who support, and I can't thank them all at once, so I'll make a thank you list! Five days later, the official bounty arrived in the North County, and at the same time the royal family announced that the envoy of the kingdom was not the countess that Donald had expected, but a member of the royal family, a male nobleman named Cowen, with the title of hereditary viscount. Mingjia pen fun pavilion to see the latest chapters //

The previous time it was the Queen's selfish desire that Catherine had been appointed, and the result was more perfect than the Queen had expected, and the Countess had told the Queen her meaning in private.

Although the reward was only announced, when the kingdom envoy arrived in Boulder City, he specially invited the white cardinal of the temple of the goddess of agriculture, who presided over the religious affairs of the North County region, to come and witness it. The Reverend Martin, whom Donald had befriended before, was an assistant deacon to the bishop, so he naturally followed the team.

The real knighthood ceremony must be attended by Donald himself in the royal capital, and it will be conferred by His Majesty the King, and now it is just a matter of informing him in advance, so that he can receive the territory in advance, and there will be a time to prepare.

"Your Excellency Viscount Covan, Lord Bishop, welcome to the Melinner family!"

Donald was dressed in a ceremonial dress and personally led more than a dozen people, including the housekeeper and attendants, to stand in a queue outside the gate of the manor to greet him. The attendants and servants of the manor were all dressed in new clothes, and they all looked heroic.

Bishop Martin's position was extraordinary, and he only responded politely to the meeting.

But the Viscount Cowan looked very enthusiastic.

"Baron Melina doesn't have to be polite, I've been looking forward to meeting you, a genius mage, for a long time!"

Although he has not yet been officially knighted, the veteran Viscount Cowan naturally changed his name to Donald's new title early.

In the presence of the Bishop of the Agricultural Temple, Viscount Cowan then read the will, and Donald received the deed, so to speak, and the official fief was obtained.

At this point, the Merina family truly regained the glory of their ancestors, no longer a broken nobleman with only titles, but a local nobleman with real power who really ruled the party.

Although he had bought two manors before, including the original lordship, they were only his private property, not a hereditary noble fief, unable to collect the lords and establish private armies, and those hired in the Night Manor only belonged to the category of tenants and could leave at any time, not the subjects to which Donald belonged.

Only when he has been officially rewarded by the royal family or upper-class nobles can he be called a real nobleman, otherwise even if he has a hereditary title, he is just a down-and-out nobleman, and his status is not much higher than those non-hereditary nobles with lifelong titles!

Of course, the current territory has not yet been fully built, and only his manor is populated in the entire territory, which needs to be vigorously developed. Mingjia Pen Quge looks at the latest chapter // It's too early to say that it is a real power aristocracy.

However, Donald is not worried about the construction of the territory at all, with the existence of the book of truth, which is a cheat against the sky, and the infrastructure that other nobles have the most headache is as simple as a game in his hands.

In fact, the rewards this time were basically in Donald's plan, and those big names in the royal capital have fully fulfilled Donald's wishes. For Donald, having more wasteland between the outskirts of the Green Cloak Forest and Boulder City was a surprise, although in this way, his territory was connected to the opponent, which was a bit troublesome and inconvenient, but Donald, who had the confidence, was not afraid at all.

Donald didn't want those small territories that were rich but were caught between the power of the nobles of the prepared side, which would not be conducive to the development of his power at all.

And the green cloak forest and the Izumo mountain range, where he took root when he first came to this world, the blank space between humans and alien forces, is a good choice for him. There are large areas of virgin land waiting to be developed, and if you don't take into account the surrounding powers, it is more than enough to carve out a principality.

Donald didn't care as much about the dangers of the Green Cloak Forest as he did about the Native aristocracy. With the Book of Truth in hand and the help of summoned creatures, conquering the Green Cloak Forest and the Izumo Mountains is not an impossible task.

On the contrary, such a large territory area really made him excited for a long time, although as long as he is strong, he does not need to worry about how much territory he occupies, but he is far from being strong enough to influence the opinions of all forces, Donald knows that he is still far away.

Therefore, when he returns from the royal capital and officially inherits the family title and fief, he can develop this vast land of hundreds of square kilometers without any scruples.

The previous practice of secretly building a manor can also be brought to the surface.

As long as your territory is more prosperous, you can further establish the main base of the town in the Warcraft that you have always wanted.

"Your Excellency, Your Majesty's will has been read, and now the two lands north of Boulder City and south of the Green Cloak Forest are your family domain. If you plan to change the title of the territory in the future, you can go to the Noble Administration of Boulder City to submit an application, and then report to the Council of Nobles, as long as it does not violate the laws of the kingdom, an official ruling will be issued soon!"

"Thank you, Your Excellency, Lord Bishop, for your hard work, and invite you two to sit inside, the banquet will be ready soon!" Donald specially prepared some of the manor's production as gifts for the two of them, and also ordered the butler to arrange the banquet in advance.

In the face of Donald's invitation, Bishop Martin showed little interest, but only excused himself and left.

After all, there are too many big nobles he has seen in his identity, and for a local small nobleman like Donald, this time he came forward not only for the sake of Viscount Covin's face, but also because he saw that Donald himself still had a lot of potential. And as an ascetic clergyman, he was devoted to serving the gods, and he was not interested in banquets or anything.

For clergy at the bishop level, Donald still has a close and distant attitude, after all, his secret is to the extent that even the true god can covet it. Donald held back a few words, and seeing that the other party insisted on leaving, he sent the bishop away with Viscount Covan.

The Viscount Cowan was very excited about Donald's banquet.

After seeing the frame of the Bishop of Bentry's car depart, the viscount said:

"I have heard that the moonshine wine produced by His Excellency the Baron's estate is comparable to the two great wines of the kingdom, but unfortunately there are not many of them, and those who arrive in the royal capital are shared by His Majesty the King and the big people, so I have never had the opportunity to see it, if I can taste it today, it will be very lucky! ”

Donald replied with a smile: "Lord Viscount, please rest assured, although moonshine wine is not produced much, I still have some of it for my own use, as for black tea, it is actually not rare, and a small amount is also cultivated in other places, but it has been used as a medicinal material, and the amount is not large." At present, I am already preparing to increase the planting area, and it is estimated that most of the noble families in the royal capital will soon be able to see it!"

"Yes, I wonder if this kind of black tea can be grown in ordinary estates?"

Donald saw that he was very interested, so he explained: "The body of black tea is called red licorice, its own taste is light and fragrant, slightly bitter and sweet, has always been an auxiliary medicinal material in alchemy medicine, although it is an alchemy medicinal material, but it is not a high-level magic plant, the growth environment is not high, ordinary sandy land can be cultivated, manage water and fertilizer well, even ordinary farmers can also try to plant! The only thing that needs to be paid attention to is that the processing process of the finished product is a little troublesome, and it must meet the specified requirements, otherwise it will affect the taste." If Your Excellency the Viscount is going to try planting in his own manor, you can send someone to study with me!"

"Your Excellency the Baron is so generous, if I had mastered such a novelty commodity, I would have firmly held it in my own hands!"

Donald responded with a smile. He had never thought of monopolizing black tea, because it was not a unique species or recipe, and a little knowledgeable mage, apprentice, or even an ordinary medicinal herb merchant could recognize it at a glance.

Therefore, it is better to take the initiative to say it and make some friends, and what he didn't say about the growth environment is that although red licorice can be planted all over the mainland, the quality of black tea grown in places like Northland where winter and summer are clear and the temperature difference between day and night is the best, which is why most of the tea leaves are good in the mountains.

The sandy land in the north is scarce, and the planting area must not be too large, and the profits in it are already very considerable. Moreover, because black tea was first invented by themselves, people subconsciously think that the quality produced in the Dark Night Manor is the best, and it will basically not affect the income of their own manor.

While waiting for the luncheon to begin, the two nobles conversed in the villa.

After some exchanges, Donald also had a basic understanding of this royal envoy, this Viscount Cowan is not like ordinary members of the royal family, and can only obtain a fortune and a court title when he becomes an adult. Because he received the inheritance of a knight's domain from his wife, the daughter of a deceased knight, he became a member of the field nobles.

Although it is a knight's domain the size of only three small villages, which is a little too small for the title of viscount, but after having a domain, his status is completely different from before, and theoretically he can resign from the position and affairs of the kingdom and go to live his local noble life with peace of mind. After all, this man also has two manors with good income, plus the production of the territory, his net worth is definitely richer than most court nobles.

However, Viscount Cowan did not abandon his obligations as a member of the royal family, and devoted himself to the affairs of the kingdom over the years, and even represented the kingdom on many occasions as a diplomat on other countries on the mainland, and his status as a cousin of the king won the trust and importance of His Majesty the 15th, and together with the Chancellor of the Exchequer Rutherford, he was called the right and left hand of His Majesty.

Donald guessed that this time Celt XV was able to send this confidant to announce the reward, also out of the importance he attached to his genius mage.

At luncheon, the Viscount Covin, like the Countess, was fascinated by the unique and novel cuisine of the Melina family.

That night, he stayed in the villa room and enjoyed a living environment ahead of his time, and the wonderful and comfortable facilities in the villa made His Majesty's right and left hands amazed, and he became more and more envious of the identity of the master.

On the second day, officials from the Noble Administration of Boulder City came to measure the area of the Merlina family's territory, and Viscount Covin, who was on a mission, had to leave and return to the royal capital. However, he was reluctant to give up his love for Night Manor, and he repeatedly expressed his desire to visit Donald again. Donald was naturally very welcome, and being able to interact with this figure in the central power of the Celtic Kingdom would undoubtedly have a lot of benefits to his family power.

After seeing off Viscount Covin, Donald and his butler, along with the entire estate, were excited to devote themselves to the construction of the new territory.

And the guards and servants in the manor, who saw the future of the Merlina family, also had the idea of moving to a new territory and becoming official lords.

William's family, who had followed Donald thoroughly, made a decision on the same day, and those brought back from the northwest were already servants under Donald's name, and unlike other foreign hires, they automatically became subjects of the new territory.
