Chapter 78: The Meeting (I)

"Hello Count Cheno, introduce myself, I am the second son of Baron Ryan Reese, Riffin Talian. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info"

Riffin, who was chatting with Fawkes, saw the target of the visit enter the room, and immediately stood up and greeted him in the aristocratic tone he had learned from the imperial capital.

Cherno nodded at him, sat down on the main seat, and looked at the other party quietly, waiting for him to explain his intentions.

"Why didn't he speak? Shouldn't he also introduce himself and greet me, and ask me what I was here for?" Count Cheno's silence made Riffin a little confused, and he suddenly didn't know how to continue the conversation with each other, for things were going out somewhat unexpectedly.

To be honest, Riefin's ability is still good, but under the years of discipline by such a strong father as Ryan Reese, he cannot be regarded as qualified in terms of practical ability or adaptability, and the only thing that can give him a sense of accomplishment is his theoretical ability and ability to shirk responsibility, of course, for the latter, Young Master Riffin does not recognize it.

At this moment, Count Cheno's unexpected opening caused Riffin to fall into a brief stupor, but he quickly reacted, and after secretly cursing in his heart "a child who does not know how to be polite", Riffin began his long prepared tirade to convince Count Cheno.

In fact, the reason for Riffin's helplessness was that the young man had not yet escaped from the extravagant and pompous atmosphere of life in the imperial capital. Using the etiquette learned from those honorary nobles in the imperial capital, and applying it to a real nobleman, it has to be said that Baron Lane Rees gave up his real and wise choice.

The essential difference between the honorary aristocracy and the actual nobility lies in the existence or absence of the territory: the former is not used for on-the-ground management, and the title cannot be hereditary, so in order to show their own identity, they always like to make some flowery and virtual things; the latter has an independent territory, and every decree is related to the life and death of countless people, so they prefer to be practical, and they do not need to decorate the façade with those vain things, because the prosperity of the territory is the manifestation of their own ability and identity.

Moreover, Count Cheno's response was by no means a faux pas.

If it was Baron Ryan Reese, Chenno would definitely ask the other party first, because the identities of the two were the same, so as the master, he had to speak first.

But now it's Riffin, the so-called "heir of the Tallian family" is just a name, to put it bluntly, he is just a noble son, not even a nobleman, of course, it is impossible to be treated by the earl.

In fact, Riffin was able to enter this waiting room for the sake of the face of the Tallian family, and if it wasn't for Cherno's belief that he had come with the behes of Baron Ryan Reese, he wouldn't even give him the opportunity to meet.

It's a pity that the young man has not been conscious of this aspect so far, he often goes in and out of the mansions of the nobles in the imperial capital, and often talks eloquently in front of the earls and dukes, plus he doesn't pay much attention to the "old and weak" of this family in his heart, so not only does he not feel that he has been treated with much courtesy, but he is secretly angry for the other party's "harshness".

In this way, the tragedy of young people can also be predicted......

From the moment Count Chenoy came in, Fawkes consciously stood aside, ready to restock tea for the two who were talking. Now that the host has arrived, his status has changed: just now he was an envoy to receive guests for the Morte family, and now he is the butler of the Morte family.

Just as Riffin was going to host Callian on behalf of Baron Ryan Reese, the Morte family would send a receptionist to chat with Riffin and tell him about the glorious history of their family.

It stands to reason that the reception staff generally chooses the descendants of the family, but the Moulte family is more special, and there are only two people left in the whole family now.

Among them, Lady Aylou, the widow of the Earl of Bronck, is the nominal lord of the Morte Lord, and the only heir, Cheno, now holds the title of Earl, and is also the de facto lord of the realm.

Therefore, they can only send a hard-working old butler to receive guests, after all, he is a retainer of the Morte family, and he is also an old man who has served the head of the family for three generations, and his identity is reasonable.

"Lord Earl, I am here to help the Morte family regain its former glory, and this is a rare opportunity not to be missed. ”

As soon as Riffin opened his mouth, he calmed down Chenoor and Fawkes, not to mention the Material Continent, even the frozen coast is not without people who are qualified to say such things to the Morte family, but this definitely does not include Riffin, or rather, it definitely does not include the "Tarian" family.

The Earl and the butler looked at each other in a tacit understanding, and only one meaning was revealed in their eye contact: Baron Ryan Reese is crazy?

Until now, neither of them had expected that Rifin had come on their behalf, and they thought that these words were coming from Ryan Reese's mouth.

It's no wonder that the two of them, no one would have thought that there would be people who "only represent themselves" who would dare to unite with other nobles, and even dominate, this can no longer be described as crazy, it is simply a brain disease!

In fact, Riffin is healthy and has no problems with IQ...... bar.

The reason why he has this illusion that he can accomplish this thing is only because he has some problems with his perception of certain things.

First of all, he regarded the real nobles as those honorary nobles who favored him in the imperial capital, and could even be said to be a little flattering, although he knew the difference between the two very well, but the perennial life in the imperial capital made him subconsciously confuse the two.

Second, he overestimated the influence of the Temple of Dawn on the Frozen Coast and misjudged their purpose.

Unlike other feudal nobles, although the royal family is also considered a feudal noble, there are always shadows of major temples behind the alternation of thrones.

This is also a matter of mutual acquiescence between the real nobles and the temple, if the temple dares to interfere in the selection of the heirs of other territories, then the real nobles will have been turned upside down a long time ago, because this is their red line, and anyone who dares to cross it will be retaliated against from the entire aristocratic class.

But the royal family is different, first, the real nobles need a ruler on the surface as a buffer for their alliance, after all, there are still orcs and barbarians on the border of the empire. However, they did not want to be subject to the royal family, so in order to prevent this apparent king from becoming the de facto ruler, they sold him to the temple.

As for the price, of course, it was very rich, and as far as Chernault knew, the requirement that "the fictitious nobility have independent legislative power in their domains, and no one shall interfere with it", was enshrined in the covenant at that time.

Therefore, the life of the major temples in the imperial capital can be said to be extremely nourishing, and they also have unparalleled influence on various ministers and dignitaries, and it is precisely for this reason that Riefin, who has seen their extraordinary status, misjudged the form.

Finally, and most fatally, the point. Riffin only thought of using the banner of the Moult family to integrate the other nobles, but he forgot the most important thing, what qualifications did he have to make the Silver family his pawns?

PS: Some book friends feel that the relationship between kingship, monarchy (monarchy, that is, the right of the real nobles to the territory) and theocracy that I created is a little unclear, I carefully read the previous article and found that the problem may be in the aspect of royal power.

It's not that I didn't write it clearly, but it was going to be introduced in some of the later episodes, since a book friend mentioned it, in order not to affect everyone's reading, I put it in advance, I believe that after reading this chapter, everyone will understand the embarrassing situation of the royal family.

Since the beginning of this book, no book reader has questioned the social system issues I described, which is what the author is most excited about.

For the construction of this system, the author has put a lot of effort into it, and he is naturally full of joy to be recognized by everyone.

Society is a process of mutual constraints, whether powerful or not, they have their own interests, if you only rely on your fists to set rules, then the only end is that the whole world becomes another abyss.

Of course, the order must have been formulated to meet the needs of the powerful to the greatest extent, but their focus is definitely different from that of the layman, and I have set the restrictions and restrictions between the gods of order, evil gods, and demons, so that the social composition described in the book is born.

I think the design is okay, so I'm a little proud (laughs).

Regarding some book friends who say that they can't understand it, this may be a problem with the author's pen power, which makes the book look a little foggy. However, I believe that as the layout is fully unfolded, the context will become clearer and clearer.

It is impossible for me to write: a big conspiracy affects a total of two people, a protagonist and an enemy, and the protagonist discovers the enemy's conspiracy and then calculates it, so that he "steals chickens and rice".

It's impossible, when a plan, especially a big plan, is designed, it will definitely affect many aspects, and it will cause a lot of variables, I designed a lot of plots, just to make everyone feel a certain reality, to experience a certain kind of happiness that the context is gradually clear, but now it seems that I may have failed a little, but it doesn't matter, I will try.

Finally, thank you for your continued support, and thank you for the author.

Also, a little boastful, the author is really writing hard, at least more carefully than teaching his cousin to study during the holidays.

"Brother, you miscalculated this question......

"Huh?"
