Chapter 44: Fame

In just a few days, news of the Arias family's successful dragon slaying spread throughout the West, and it continued to spread farther afield.

Maybe it won't be long before even the real adults in the royal capital will know about this little-known nobleman who was located on the border of the empire.

And the shock caused by this incident is also unprecedented.

Ever since the black dragon left the swamp where it was sheltered, it had been killing people and setting fires everywhere, and it had only taken more than two months to bring a series of horrific disasters to the entire western border.

It has become a nightmare for almost everyone in this land, especially those noble families, who have never been so weak and helpless.

The wealth, weapons, fortified castles, and powerful armies that had been prided upon were all useless in the face of the terrifying monster with the ability to fly.

Many people can only hide in their dungeon cellars, and they can't live in fear.

Now their nightmare is finally over.

And it was the Arias family who had been despised by many people before.

The ancestor of the Arias family is said to have been a knight, and by virtue of his loyalty to Philip "Snow Claw", as well as the merits accumulated over the years, he finally received the land and title rewarded by Philip after the end of the war, and reluctantly became a power.

However, due to the lack of background and the fact that they are outsiders, they will be more or less excluded by some local forces after settling in the west.

In addition, the location of the family's mining is remote, and the descendants are not very competitive, and they don't know much about doing business, so they can only bury their heads in farming, and more than 900 years have passed, and the Arias family has basically been in a state of making up for it, and there is hardly much development.

However, it was the difficult students in such a class who suddenly opened their minds during the final exam, like divine help, and solved the problems that several students failed to solve, and they took the first place in the school in one go.

Now that the people of the West look at the Arias family, that's pretty much what they feel.

It's so unreal!

In fact, as early as when Yin Leia said that he would be the new commander of the coalition army, and there were only 700 people, many people felt that the new head of the Arias family was probably crazy.

Because if it weren't for a madman, how could he use just such a few people to deal with that terrible black dragon.

The reason why everyone agreed to this proposal in the end was purely because they were desperate and wanted to fight again, anyway, according to the girl's plan, each family would only produce dozens of fighters at most, and if it didn't succeed, there would be no big loss.

In addition, there are some people with dark thoughts, hoping that the Arias family and Yin Leiya can be in front and attract the attention of the black dragon, anyway, many people have planned it this way from the beginning.

It's just that I didn't expect that the black dragon didn't act according to common sense, and actually left the green field in his mouth alone, and ran directly to their territory to kill people and set fires, and now since Yin Leiya is willing to take the lead and sit in that dangerous position, let her sit down.

In short, although there are many people who support Miss Rabbit to become the commander of the coalition forces, few people believe that she can really fulfill her promise.

But as a result, the new head of the Arias family slapped everyone in the face.

Not only did she kill the black dragon, but what was even more unbelievable was that she couldn't even use the seven hundred elites she had gathered from the various families.

It was purely by virtue of the Arias family's own efforts, at most, with the help of the Bathory family, who had been friends with the Arias family for generations, that the dragon slaying was accomplished.

At the beginning of that earth-shattering battle, which was praised by countless people in later generations, the 700 members of the coalition army were still blowing the night breeze around Rock Snow City, and until the end of the battle, they were just playing soy sauce the whole time.

Because the whole thing was so bizarre, it even caused some people to wonder if the Arias family lied and that they didn't really kill the black dragon.

Miss Rabbit's answer was simple, she sent a team of guards and pulled the dragon's head in a carriage to begin a three-month tour of the West.

In this way, almost all the people in the Western Realm, whether they are nobles or commoners, can see the corpse of the black dragon.

It also made the skeptics all shut their mouths.

More and more people are beginning to realize one thing, and that is - the Arias family is about to rise.

Obviously, people need to re-evaluate the strength of this family of earth buns, which most people have the impression of only growing turnips.

Anyone who likes the Arias family or doesn't like the Arias family must admit that this time all the nobles in the Westlands owe the Arias family a favor.

Among them, the Figuerola family, as the lord of the West, moved the fastest, and David sent a mission almost the next day to commend Yin Leia and the family behind her.

Since women cannot inherit the title, the Figuerola family naturally cannot implore His Majesty the Emperor to reward him by raising the title.

As for land, there is basically no borderland left in the West, so David's rewards are mainly materials and wealth.

There were 10,000 gold coins alone, as well as weapons, equipment, and food, to thank the Arias family for their contribution to maintaining stability in the West, and to avenge the death of his brother Huls.

This is only a preliminary reward, and the rest of the rest will be decided by Marquis of Cullen himself after he returns to Rock Snow City.

With the Figuerola family taking the lead, the other nobles in the West immediately knew what to do.

First of all, in the nearest Black Rock City, Miss Rabbit's old neighbor, the emissary of the Yin Manuel family, brought gratitude, and generously said that the dwarven armor and weapons that had been supported by the Arias family before did not need to be returned.

In addition, from now on, the Arias family will no longer have to pay trade taxes if they do business on the territory of the Yin Manuel family, and in the future, if the Arias family needs it, the Yin Manuel family can also provide low-interest loans......

A set of combinations was discounted, and the messenger spoke with a dry mouth, but the girl on the other side did not react much, and even pouted in her heart.

Speaking from the heart, the various conditions offered by the Yin Manuel family are indeed quite good.

It is even more generous than his own family's chamber of commerce, but as we all know, the Arias family hardly does business, and the benefits given by the Yin Manuel family are all in financial and trade aspects.

Rounding off doesn't mean giving nothing?

As for taxes, who is she, Yin Leiya, she has never paid taxes before selling pepper in Black Rock City, and the money has all gone into her own pocket.

On the contrary, Li Yu seemed to be quite interested in the preferential treatment given by the Arias family, and asked the girl for a detailed document.
