001: Territory, Stonehammer Town of Edmia

readx;? Erecsi, the imperial capital

The golden-red glow of the 'Soul Washwood' burning in the fireplace illuminated a carpet of earthy bear fur embroidered with golden roses and dark blue olive leaves not far away. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

There is a clean and tidy square table on it, the incense burner on the table releases a refreshing aroma, a beautiful white cat with white fur as white as snow is lying next to the incense burner lazily sleeping in the afternoon, and a young man with unusually fair skin is sitting at the table and reading official documents.

"Huh?" The contents of the newly opened official document seemed to attract his attention, and there was a look of surprise on his unusually handsome face, and he stroked the white cat on the table with one hand, and said with some thought: "Thero... Have you ever seen this last name before?

"My lord, Landnot—" reminded an official standing respectfully at the table in a whisper

"Oh! yes" He suddenly laughed brightly, and stroked the white cat a little faster, "It's the good swordsman, who can catch up with the arrows I shoot, he's called... Carlos, right, thanks to his noble character, saved those two children who were almost killed by me by mistake, just... I heard that he committed suicide, so this Tello of Landnot should be his relative, right?"

"Yes, my lord, this Roshi Tello is the son of the Baron Carlos."

"Time flies, it's his son's turn to inherit his title, and this kid has also obtained the title of magician, yes, yes! The land of the empire is for such people... Ahh

It seemed that the stroke was a little stronger, and the white cat who was in pain suddenly turned its head and bit the young man's hand, and the official next to him turned pale, and almost trotted over and grabbed the white cat that was thrown out by the young man.

"Big... Your Excellency—" The official looked nervous as he sent the white cat to the young man

The young man took the white cat from the official's hand, and then threw it at the fireplace, and then there was a terrible scream in the fireplace, and the white cat tried to rush out of the fireplace, but the two knights in the room used their fighting spirit to build an invisible barrier in front of the fireplace.

After receiving the advanced healing technique from the mage next to him to restore the bitten finger to its original state, the young man's face returned to calm, and he returned his gaze to the official document, and drew a circle on the map below with a pen: "Having an excellent father, I believe that his son will not be bad, his territory... It's right here."

The clerk on standby cautiously accepted the young man's approval, and as his gaze quickly swept over the circled spots on the map, he showed a thoughtful look.

On the same day, this official document about the territory of a new nobleman of the empire was distributed in two parts, one to Landnot, and the other to the province where the domain was located.

Naturally, there is no need to say much about the letter sent to Landnot, and the content of the document sent to the province of the province is actually no different, but when the messenger in charge of delivering the official document handed over to the superior lord here, he deliberately added a sentence: "This baron's fief was personally selected by the lord."

At this time, no one thought that it was this simple addition that would cause a huge earthquake in the empire in the future, a monstrous earthquake that buried tens of millions of bones...

Aino Province, Edmia

"My miserable life!~" A long sigh of sorrow came from Kane's mouth, and he looked at a withered flower in the haystack in front of his heels with his hands on the back of his head, and sighed: "It's like this withered flower....oh!No, at least it once bloomed and bloomed, facing the rising sun, and I, hehe, my bleak life!~"

"Haha, Master Kane, for the first time, I found out that in addition to fighting, you also have the talent to be a bard," a resting soldier next to him leaned over and smiled

"Haha, that's, with your hands, Young Master Kane, I don't know how many noble ladies you will charm" Another soldier also came over and quipped

"You two!" Kane glared at the two of them, and said with great resentment: "Do you know what the most painful thing in life is? It's just that there is a confused father, and he sold you in a daze, if you sell it to a high-gate compound, it will be fine, but it will also sell you to a deep mountain and a wild mountain."

The two soldiers smiled dryly and didn't dare to take over the conversation, Kane was born in a noble family and had the ability to say that it naturally didn't matter, and the two of them didn't dare to bring disaster to themselves with a quick tongue, but they still had a look of empathy in their eyes.

"Hey, you're enough" An annoyed voice sounded, and a small round head with small tiger teeth stretched out from the window of the carriage next to him, raised his fist, and said viciously at Kane: "Is there still any end?

The five bickering of the three parties had long let Kane know that this girl had the ability to mess around, so she got up and sat in the distance, and Margaret also retracted her head, and looked at Roshi, who was reading a book carefully opposite with big eyes, and said angrily: "Hey, don't care about your subordinates"

She then jumped off the bench, walked over and snatched the book from Luo Xi's hand, and glanced at the title: "What's so good about the "General History of the Zijin Dynasty", arrogant ghost, how can you say that you are also a little lord now, and you are being chirped crooked by the people under your own hands all the time, don't you feel angry at all?"

"Don't be mischievous" Roshi snatched the book from Margaret's hand, and continued to flip through the casual words: "It's better to leave your hometown or go to a poor country, it's inevitable to complain, nothing"

"Is this place really so bad?" Margaret tilted her head and said curiously, "Along the way, there is nothing bad about me seeing green mountains and green waters?"

Mountains... I'm afraid that the whole convoy will have this leisure for you...

Sighing in his heart, Roshi couldn't help but rub his head, during this time he carefully read some information, and finally knew why Baron Cailliaud would come to the door when he learned where his territory was, and asked if he had ever offended anyone.

What kind of place is the county of Edmia in the province of Aino? If you compare Landnott to BJSH, then Edmia is like Mongolia... Outer Mongolia...; Dogs don't poop, birds don't lay eggs... Roshi felt that the words were tailor-made for the place.

It is located in the Magra Mountains, the northwesternmost frontier area of the Purple Gold Land, is a veritable deep mountain range, the most intuitive is that the geographical area here is three times the size of Landnot, but the total population of the county is less than a few tenths of it, less than 100,000 people...

Although Landnot, who is in a rich land, is second only to the provincial capital in Wagru Province and is also among the best in the entire empire, it is a bit far-fetched to compare with it, but it is not easy for Edmia, who has long occupied the top three places in the poverty ranking of the counties and counties of the empire, to find its opponent...

It's no wonder that the old man Cayo has this kind of thought, but except for the Fred family who has cut down the grass and eradicated the roots, Roshi really can't think of anyone who has such a big grudge against him, but even if Cadia is reborn, he is afraid that his hand will not be able to reach out to the distribution of the territory of the nobles of the empire...

"Ahh

"It's the notorious Blood Snakes! Aren't they only in the next few towns?"

"Oh my God!"

A sudden exclamation from outside interrupted Roshi's train of thought, he frowned, opened the corner of the curtain and asked, "What's wrong?"

The eight soldiers presented by Baron Cayo who accompanied him had already drawn their long swords to guard the carriage, and when they heard Roshi's question, the deputy captain Beni glanced at Kane, who had already run to the front, and stepped forward to say: "My lord, we are in trouble, it is a group of robbers, they are attacking the caravan"

When passing by Nile, the county town in front, he happened to run into a group of caravans heading to Rockhammer Town, Roshi's territory, because he also needed a guide along the way, so Roshi went with them.

"Robber?" Roshi said in surprise, he raised an eyebrow, and then asked, "How many people are there on the other side?

"There are about thirty of them! a few of them have the strength of bronze swordsmen, my lord, stay in the carriage and don't come out, and leave the rest to us."

The total number of people is only 20 people, and more than half of them are ordinary mountain farmers, and the convoy was attacked by bandits with more than 30 people and even ranks?

"It's kind of interesting" touched his chin, the corners of Roshi's mouth curled up to show a meaningful smile, and he beckoned to Margaret: "Let's go, Margaret, let's go down and have a look"
