Victor gently stroked the sheepskin scroll on the table and let out a long breath.

This is a document of registration of the hereditary territory of the Centaur Hills, which certifies that this vast territory of more than 12,000 square kilometers in the southwest corner of the Centaur Hills is a legitimate territory recognized by the Kingdom of Gambis, and will be protected by the kingdom's army and pay an annuity to the kingdom, and the lord of this territory is Baron Victor Wimbledon, and the territory is hereditary by the baron and his family.

This territory is huge, far beyond the size of a barony, and even much larger than the average viscounty.

Victor frowned. Although the territory is large, its location is very remote, the south of the territory is close to the Jinshui River, and the west is next to the unknown edge of the swamp, and it is said that the swamp even inhabits this kind of orc, the lizardmen.

The entire territory is very far away from the center of the Centaur Frontier - Black Castle, and if you ride a horse, it will probably take about ten days to go there.

With such a distance, Victor didn't believe that the Yorks had developed the land.

Thinking of the hordes of goblins, kobolds, and stenching gnolls of that wilderness, and perhaps even more terrifying monsters, Victor's scalp tingles.

But Victor does not regret it, it is urgent to stay away from the struggle for the throne, and the territory is far away but more in line with his current expectations.

Recruit a group of mercenaries and farmers who have lost their land to the war near the Black Fort. After arriving in the new territory, as long as the territory castle develops slowly, safety should be guaranteed.

Thinking of this, Victor couldn't help but pinch a money bag made of lizard skin around his waist.

The purse contains 50 purple gold coins issued by the royal family of Gambis, one side of which depicts a high mountain and a sun rising from the top of the mountain, representing the divine power of the Lord of Light, and an eagle with wings spread on the other, representing the imperial power of the Rand Empire. The Kingdom of Gambis, as a vassal kingdom of the Rand Empire, was not yet eligible to engrave its own insignia on the currency.

The royal family of Gambis promised that each purple gold coin could be exchanged for 1,000 gold soles at the Gambis Royal Capital's Interior Office. Remembering the grief-stricken expression on the Earl of York when he took out the purple gold coin, Victor's heart was dark.

The knowledge and skills stored in the 50,000 gold soles and X-3 chips are the confidence of Victor to open up the wild territory.

It's just that when the news of the exchange of territories reaches the royal capital, what kind of thunder and anger Marquis Sophia will be, Victor can't care so much.

There was a sound of light footsteps outside the door, it was supposed to be the retinue sent by the Countess to fetch him to the feast, and Victor had just put away the coins and papers, and the knock at the door came as expected.

"Your Excellency, I have come to take you to the dinner party on the orders of the Countess. A crisp and pleasant voice sounded outside the door.

Victor opened the door, and saw the tall and beautiful female guard standing in the doorway.

"Please lead the way. Victor smiled at the handsome beauty.

The tall beauty was slightly stunned, and turned around to lead the way in a slightly flustered manner.

Victor followed behind the female guard, and saw the beautiful woman in front of him with slender and straight legs, a waist and hips, and a swaying posture between walks, which looked particularly sexy, and Victor's eyes couldn't help but linger on the slender waist and beautiful legs in front of him.

After a while, Victor saw that the female guard was walking in an unnatural manner, and then saw that her earlobes had turned pink, and Victor was overwhelmed.

With such a keen perception, I'm afraid it's not far away if I'm not a knight, but fortunately she doesn't reject me. Victor secretly rejoiced.

Knights, the pinnacle of human power, must be respected even by nobles.

A splendid four-wheeled carriage was already waiting on the side of the road, and Victor and the female guard entered the carriage one after another. The coachman flicked the reins, and the carriage began to move slowly.

"What a faux pas, you haven't asked for the name of this beautiful lady yet?" Victor looked at the female guard, who was still a little crimson, trying to ease the awkward atmosphere.

"I... My name is Nicole. The female guard's face darkened instantly.

In the human kingdom, commoners and slaves have no surnames, and most of the knight bloodlines are produced among the nobles, and the knight squires are generally the children of the nobles. A knight's squire like Nicole who doesn't have a surname suggests that her mother was supposed to be a maid of the York family.

According to aristocratic tradition, the offspring of maids and nobles were still inferior. Unless Nicole is promoted to knighthood, she will always be a lowly inferior.

On average, only one out of five knights can be promoted to knighthood.

Victor was comforted, but he couldn't say anything. The two were relatively silent for a while, but the carriage unknowingly drove to its destination, Rose Manor.

"Your Excellency, the dinner will begin in a moment. You can now take a break in the reception room. Victor was led by a manor to the door of a room, and the waiter bowed to Victor.

Nodding to the waiter, Victor gently pushed open the ornate golden wooden door and entered the room. In the eye, pink curtains, snow-white cashmere carpets, luxurious ivory beds, delicate dressers, and a curvaceous woman resting on the side of the long chaise longue.

It was clearly a noblewoman's bedroom, and Victor immediately turned around and pulled the door to leave, only to find that the door was locked outside.

At that moment, a soft voice sounded in the room. "Baron Victor, you are so rude that you have broken into my bedroom. ”

Victor looked at it, and saw that the woman in the chaise longue had slowly stood up, her golden hair like a waterfall casually scattered over her white shoulders, and her beautiful eyes were smiling at Victor, who was the Countess of York.

Victor was about to say something, but saw the Countess walking towards him, a red low-cut spider silk robe set off the Countess's skin is as beautiful as a flower, and when the willow waist swayed lightly, two snow-white slender legs appeared and disappeared under the slit robe.

This tempting scene made Victor's mouth dry, and he was speechless for a while.

When the countess approached, seeing the white and deep furrow on his chest, Victor was suddenly embarrassed, and his eyes hurriedly moved down, but he saw the pink toenails shining like a crystal on the white and slender feet, which made him even more dizzy.

"Victor, what are you thinking?" the countess put her little white hand on Victor's chest, looking at him with a smile on her face.

"Countess, I... ”

"Call me Sylvia. The Countess's snow-white hands covered Victor's lips, and with a turn of her body she took him by the arm and walked into the house. "I heard that Sophia once asked Countess Ariel, the head of the court ladies, to teach you etiquette in person, so let's discuss court etiquette before the dinner. ”

In Victor's memory, Ariel taught her how to please women, and she even invited some beautiful women in masks to give him lessons from time to time.

Although the little baron was no stranger to the absurd life of the nobility, the current Baron Victor was an impostor, and this glamorous scene had long since made him unable to help himself, so he had to be at the mercy of Sylvia.

Outside the door, Nicole listened to the intermittent chants coming from inside the house, her face turned red and white, she stomped her feet, and walked straight out of the gate of the manor.
