Things went well for Sarian's plan, and while Anna and the bear fought to the death, Yulia struggled, and Sarian and Hilda negotiated terms. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Salian will fight for power, and within ten years he must make the northern part of the Dark Forest a direct domain and give these territories to Hilda in perpetuity, and she will have the right to do whatever she wants.

In other words, the Black Dragon Girl will be given this vast area as her legitimate territory, and in exchange for these rights, Salian will become a Dragon Knight recognized by the Black Dragon in her lifetime. In essence, the human life of a long-lived black dragon is negligible, and the longer he lives, the more cost-effective it is for Salian.

Such a condition is acceptable to everyone, originally Sallian planned to drive Ulrich out of his territory, and now he just needs to find a way to transfer the territory of the Dark Forest under the original jurisdiction of Ulrich to the Hohenstlingen family, because Ulrich itself is illegally occupying this place, so it should be possible to get a formal power of attorney from the emperor by establishing a large enough merit or other means, which is difficult for Sallian, but it can still be done.

And for the little black dragon, it is dangerous to keep a territory in the sovereign region of an empire, it is very insecure, and it will be taken away by others at any time, but if she has a reasonable and legitimate imperial identity, and this identity can have a territory, then she has a guarantee, and a document is sometimes much more useful than a strong individual force. So Hilda immediately accepted such a condition, and what she lost was only a short period of time in her life.

Now that the agreement has been negotiated, the rest of the matter is very simple. Anna, who was still fighting hard just now, suddenly found that the giant bear in front of her had become sluggish, its strength had weakened, and its blood-red eyes, which had been like madness, had gradually dimmed, and the most amazing thing was that its size had even shrunk. Then Anna easily defeated the bear with her already battered cavalry sword. And the moment the monster fell, Salian leapt to his feet and saved Yulia from falling from the palm of the bear's hand.

Waiting for this giant bear is naturally the fate of being brutally dismembered, the delicious bear paws and bear meat have become the ingredients for tomorrow's dinner, and the remaining useless parts are directly discarded, and the fate of daring to resist Anna head-on is very sad.

Not only that, but today because Anna has accumulated a lot of dissatisfaction, so after not having the little black dragon girl's dark box operation, she was very powerful, not only killing the giant bear, but also quickly tracking down the cave where the giant bear family is entrenched.

What happened next was really a bloody horror movie, and there was no one who saw it without tears, whether men, women, young or old, all of them finally perished under Anna's sword, and its tragedy could not be expressed in words. It can be said that the strongest clan in the Dark Forest has never recovered. Not only that, but the other deer, foxes, and all that Anna sensed on the way became her trophies, and she became a hunting machine in this hour. In the end, when she was satisfied, she couldn't bring back all of today's harvest, and as a result, Hilda, who had returned to her original form, had a full meal.

The journey back to the castle was pleasant and pleasant, and they were back at the castle before dinner. After unloading the spoils of war and resting for a while, Salian gathered all the members of the castle and introduced Miss Hilda to everyone. In an age when the Pope ruled by kinship, it was common for the aristocracy to legalize illegitimate children, not to mention that Hilda was a girl and Hohenstelingen was not a royal family. It's very simple, as long as Salian announces it, and then goes to the diocese of Constance to prepare a case, and Bishop Bekenried of Constance is an old friend of Salian's father, and Salian orders Moro to take charge of this matter, and of course a bribe is also necessary.

The soldiers, attendants, and servants of the castle were very pleased with the new arrival of such a beautiful young lady, and at the same time the little girl with a black belly was also very good at acting, on the one hand, her little mouth was very sweet, and she pretended to be both lovely and innocent, and soon received all the love that a noble lady deserved, and she became another star in the castle. This star is second only to Anna and Salion's brightness, and much brighter than Yulia's.

In order to give Hilda a better understanding of her identity, Salian takes her on a tour of several important places in the castle while the others rest before dinner, while explaining the history and origins of the family to her. As the future master of the Dark Forest in the North, there are some things that Hilda must know, and this identity cannot be questioned.

Salian laid out her future for Hilda, creating a new name every thirty years, continuing as a branch of Hohenstlingen, and in the future by granting an exemption to women to inherit, so that Hilda could inherit herself about once every thirty years. Hilda was well accommodated by Salion's novelty, and in gratitude for her good idea, she promised Salian that she would help the Hohenstlingen family in times of crisis even after his death.

Sallian first took Hilda to visit the gallery on the second floor of the castle with paintings, and unlike other aristocratic families with large oil paintings or miniature paintings of landscapes and myths, which were usually arranged with religious themes, this pursuit of high art would not have occurred in the Hohenstelingeren family.

In the first half of the corridor, there are six huge historical paintings hanging on the wall facing several large floor-to-ceiling windows, which depict the Hohenstlingen family from its origins to prosperity from the humble to the knight of the Empire, the expedition to the Eastern Apologetic Holy War, the acquisition of the territory of Hexingen, the establishment of Hexingen Castle, the defeat of the strong enemy who attacked the castle, and the suppression of the rebellion in Vanoria with the emperor. In fact, there is a seventh painting, which was acquired in the Countdom of the New Mark, and Sallian's father originally invited a famous painter from the city of Constance to depict this scene, but unfortunately the painter only made a sketch on the canvas and died because of his advanced age, leaving the line drawing in an underground storehouse of the castle.

"So, Daddy, where did the black dragon on our family coat of arms come from?" asked Sarian, tilting her little head, admiring the huge canvases.

Salian liked to be asked such questions, and he patiently pointed to the first painting and replied to Hilda: "Look at this first painting, little darling, which depicts the magnificent palace of the First Dynasty, and the one sitting on the throne with the iron crown on his head is His Majesty Conrad I, the famous king of the First Dynasty, and the tall and strong man kneeling at the foot of the steps is the founder of our family, Léo Stirlingen. These are legendary figures, and their deeds of that era have become legends. The true life of this ancestor is unknown, but it is known that his development was aided by the black dragons, you see that his cloak is embroidered with the pattern of the black dragon, this painting is painted according to the original that has been handed down, and in the crowd behind there is a figure who is said to be the incarnation of a certain black dragon. And now the addition of the Meteor Hammer to the coat of arms is the hallmark of our family as a Knight of the Dread. ”

"I see, I don't know which of my ancestors it is, I'll know this if I have a chance in the future. "Hilda thinks when she can find the holy land of the Black Dragons, and she will be able to solve the mystery.

Then they walked to the second half of the corridor, which is a wide corridor that turns from the front corridor to the hall, and on both sides of the corridor are hung portraits of the ancestors of the family. The figures in the painting all have a sense of majesty from the same blood family, and their facial expressions are very stiff. Most of them wore military uniforms and medals, or wore armor directly, and none of them wore ceremonial or robes, reflecting the family's martial traditions.

Salian spoke to Hilda about his ideals of the marshal's uniform and the Great Iron Cross with a blue ribbon, which the family had never reached before, and of course the ideals of every generation of their family were these things, and there was nothing special. However, there are still some ideals that Salian did not have in his ancestors, that is, the new era idea that the empire can be reunited while striving for a glorious surname, and the Tutonians can live and work in peace and contentment, which the narrow ancient knights did not dare to think of. In the most gracious words, Hilda expressed her best wishes for Salian's wishes, hoping that his dream would come true.

Finally they reached the hall at the end of the hallway, where Salian pushed the door open, revealing a huge oak tree that stretched from the wall to the vault. Starting with the names of the first ancestors at the base of the tree, the oak tree is written in detail with the names of the ancestors in order, continuing to the trunk and canopy, including the main branches and branches of the family, which turned out to be a pedigree map of Hohensterlingen.

Pointing to him, Salian explained to Shirda: "Since my grandfather seized the opportunity to become a prince from a young lord and succeeded in negotiating a very favorable marriage for my father, my mother is the only daughter of the family of Melempergard, another lord of the Heichengen, and I have inherited not only the land that my father left me but also my mother's dowry, which is most of the land of Heixingen. ”

"The lineage of the Counts of the Empire of Merempergard is the same as our family, originally the rank of Imperial Knight, and the fief is also in Heixingen, and later because of the long-term and stable service to the emperor, he has made many meritorious achievements, and was promoted to the Count of the Empire step by step, and at the same time gradually increased the area of the fief, and finally three-fifths of the land in Heixingen was controlled by Mulperga, plus two-fifths of my father, and now I am the master of the entire Heixingen. Unfortunately, my mother's Terror Knight Guard was too difficult for me to practice, so I had to give up because of my lack of talent. ”

Salian led Hilda to sit down at a conference table in the hall and continued to speak to her, "I inherited from my mother the title of Imperial Count and the hereditary commander of the garrison of Constance from my mother, and now these rights and duties are mine. To sum it up, I now have a triple title, the Imperial Knight and Imperial Earl titles give me the entire Heixingen fiefdom, the Border Count gives me the New Mark fief, and I want to protect the northeast and southwest parts of the empire. Since the titles of Imperial Knight and Imperial Count belong to the Schwartenn region, their obligations are combined, and the situation now becomes that half of the garrison in Konstanz is my direct subordinate and is supported by me at my expense. And the Count of the Border of Neumark, which I received from my grandfather, made me the commander of the fortress of Sarenis in the northeastern part of the empire, where I had to bear the expense of all the military installations and garrisons. ”

Hilda, who listened with relish, said, "Oh, it's not easy to be a noble lord!"

"Of course, the emperor gave us titles, honors, and lands, but also responsibilities and obligations. It's a pity that too many lords now ignore their responsibilities and obligations, and only know how to loot the people's fat and people's ointment, and the empire is torn apart, and the people are not able to make a living. My immediate goal is to find a promising king to clean up the mess of the empire. Salian sighed.

"For the sake of my future territory, it seems that there are a lot of places to help your father, haha!"
