found a relatively well-preserved stone house, and before he could open the door, he smelled the stench of rotting corpses, and the smoked Hudson quickly covered his nose and retreated.

It was so disgusting that even the nervous cub showed a disgusted expression. Even if such a house were to be renovated, Mr. Hudson would not have moved into it.

Several houses were inspected in a row, and a similar odor was observed. It was so unlucky that Hudson directly dismissed the idea of picking up ready-made.

The noble castle, as the face of the nobility, this must be arranged. It's a pity that far water can't quench the thirst of the near.

Conventionally, it often takes years, if not decades, to complete the construction of a castle.

Either build a wooden house and make do with it, or continue to live in a tent. There is no doubt that Hudson chose the former.

The space of this military tent in his hand is too small. When marching and fighting, it's okay to make do; It would be too aggrieved to live as a daily residence.

The summer weather is like a big stove, and the stuffy tent resembles a big steamer. Hudson, who didn't want to be reduced to xiaolongbao, was another night of "heaven for the quilt and status seat".

The first night of the official stay in the territory is still very memorable. It's a pity that there is no magic stone in his hand to record it, otherwise it is definitely the best material to spur the younger generations to "start a business".

Looking at the starry sky, Hudson was full of emotion. Fortunately, God has enough face, and the weather has been sunny since the beginning of the expedition.

The heat was a little hotter, but it was better than a downpour. If it's really in time for the rainy season, muddy roads can crumble people.

However, this year's weather is still a little abnormal. In the southeastern province of abundant rain, in the past two months, the two counties of Wyton and Wright have not fallen in the past two months.

Hudson did not know what was going on in the rest of the kingdom. But if this continues, drought in Wyton and Wright counties will be inevitable.

The crops in the field seem to be thinking too much, and talking about crops in the two counties this year is pure nonsense.

The spring ploughing is sown, but as soon as the rebels led by the Skull Club move, the unprepared nobles and lords rushed to the streets, who can take care of the crops?

In the untended fields, the weeds grow much better than the wheat seedlings, and the harvest can be counted as a blessing from the Lord of the Morning Sun.

Hudson's territory, in particular, has taken root in the fields with tree species that have fallen in the wind. If it comes a few months later, it will be directly returned to the forest.

When you think about it, it seems that the drought is not so terrible. As long as the tributary of the Nucang River that passes through his own territory does not dry up, everything is a minor problem.

……

In the province of Felix in the Northland, in an ultra-luxurious mansion, in the face of his lover's resentful eyes, the Grand Duke of Cavadia was also numb.

The chaos of private life in aristocratic circles is never new. As long as you don't kill people, everything is easy to say.

The Grand Duke of Kavadia also thinks so, as a famous romantic figure in the Northland, he was full of lovers when he was young.

But I often walk by the river, how can I not get my shoes wet. At a banquet, Grand Duke Kavadia hooked up with the noble lady in front of him.

To be exact, it should be a noble lady. At that time, the Mrs. Lina in front of her was still when Yun Ying was unmarried.

Originally, this was nothing, it was just a night of romance, and you still want to be responsible?

The gap in identity doomed the two to have no results. Even if Kavadia is the ultimate good man, he has to honestly go back to accept the family marriage, instead of playing free love.

The wonderful thing is that the young Miss Lina is inexperienced, and Kavadia's hit rate is too high, and the one-night stand actually makes her belly bigger.

In order to avoid the outbreak of scandal and the unbearable disposition of the child, under the arrangement of Kavadia, Miss Lina soon found an alien knight as a pick-up man.

Soon after the marriage, the unlucky knight died in battle, and the widowed Lady Lina raised the child alone, and everything was so logical.

The parties are all dead, and the child's date of birth is wrong, so naturally no one will run to investigate it without opening their eyes.

Under the care of Grand Duke Cavadiya, the flies and mosquitoes that did not open their eyes were swatted to death. No matter how shameless others are in their hearts, no one will say it on their faces.

The life of the mother and son can be regarded as going on. It's just that with the entry of the Duchess and the birth of the sister-in-law, after all, the paper can't contain the fire.

This kind of thing is very common in aristocratic circles. Even if he wears a gang, the Grand Duke of Calradia is not cowardly.

As long as you don't admit it, it doesn't exist. If anyone dares to be crooked, first see if their neck is hard enough.

As the child grows up, the situation gradually changes. Ordinary people don't dare to do things, but it doesn't mean that no one dares to do things.

I don't know if it's a coincidence, or if it's been calculated. By chance, the son of the Grand Duke of Calradia collided with his illegitimate son.

Because of an elf slave girl, two young and vigorous teenagers fought on the street.

Needless to say, the result is that it is inevitable that the illegitimate child will collide with the son-in-law.

Counterattack on the top, that only exists in the novel picture book. I have never heard of it in the continent of Aslant that there are illegitimate children who have succeeded in ascending to the throne.

The inheritance law is not an ornament, and the illegitimate child who cannot see the light is not in the scope of the heir at all. Even if he is very liked by his father, he will inherit some property at most, and he doesn't have to think about the title.

Unless the illegitimate son is on the surface and also has the right to inherit, there is no possibility of any counterattack.

This kind of thing, even if it happens, is rarely exposed.

Messing around inside your own house, it's a shocking scandal, and a family that doesn't handle it well will fall apart.

The Grand Duke of Calradia is obviously a smart person, and even if he arranges a pick-up man, he chooses outsiders who have no roots and does not mess around in the local area.

The initial stage of the plan was very successful, and under the arrangement of his good father, the adult Sith successfully entered the army and won a series of military exploits.

Originally, everything was fine, but unfortunately, with a conflict between the sister-in-law and the illegitimate child, the situation of Linna's mother and son, who were embarrassed, became more and more embarrassing.

The palms and backs of the hands are full of meat, and it is not right to stand there, and the Grand Duke of Calradia is also helpless.

After ten years of dragging on with the mud, although there was no conflict between the two sides on the surface, the contradictions became deeper and deeper over time.

The most direct impact was that the Sith marriage was delayed. Nobles who have the reputation of illegitimate children and are slightly high-grade will not choose such a partner to marry.

Although the little nobles wanted to pat the grand duke's sycophants, they also did not want to offend the future grand duke, and they avoided this kind of thing. What's more, the conditions are too poor, and Linna's mother and son can't look down on it.

Under the arrangement of the Grand Duke of Calradia, the Sith knights, who had accumulated a lot of military exploits, soon made their way all the way to the rank of viscount.

Of course, you can have a title, but don't think about the territory.

The land of Northern Xinjiang is basically monopolized by the five major families, and it is naturally not difficult for Grand Duke Calradia to arrange a fief for his son, but the trouble is that Sith's status as an illegitimate son cannot be recognized by the family.

It is not impossible to forcibly arrange fiefdoms. It's just that you have to be prepared to lose your son in an orc invasion.

The fiefdom nobles have the responsibility to guard the land, and they can't run away. If you can't win, you have to hold on, as long as the reinforcements are a little sluggish, it will be a fate.

The original small and medium-sized nobles in northern Xinjiang were all killed one after another in this way, and finally formed a pattern of five major families jointly dominating northern Xinjiang.

"Don't cry, Linna!"

After all, he is not a lover, Calradia stretched out his hand to hug her lover and comforted her.

"Northern Xinjiang is not a good place, and the Felix family seems to be extremely prominent, but in fact, it is also a fire cooking oil.

In recent years, although there have been constant wars in the Northland, they have been small fights. If you really encounter a full-scale invasion by orcs, you will know that the five major families of Northern Xinjiang are nothing.

After so many years, it is estimated that the time for the next large-scale invasion of orcs will not be too far away.

At this time, it is also a good thing to let the Sith jump out of the cage. Although the title is a little lower and the fief is a little smaller, the land in the southeastern province is fertile and there is no threat from foreign enemies.

As long as you manage it carefully, a barony in the south may not be worse than a viscount in the north.

The level of the title is empty, and this world still has to use strength to speak after all. Don't be blinded by nothing.

The five dukes of Northern Xinjiang do sound majestic. But if I had a choice, I would rather be the twelve fiefdom earls of the kingdom. ”

This is the truth, on the surface, the fiefdom of the five dukes of Northern Xinjiang is the largest, the highest title, and the strongest, far surpassing the nobles in other regions of the kingdom, but in fact, they know that they have suffering.

There is a good neighbor of the orcs, and they live in fear every day. I am afraid that one day war will break out and destroy everything that is now in business.

Back then, the ancestors drove out the nobles of the small and medium-sized fiefdoms in the north regardless of their appearance, essentially to enhance their own strength.

Although judging from the current situation, it is indeed wrong, but it is also a manifestation of being prepared for danger in times of peace.

There is no regret medicine in the world, and with the departure of the nobles of small and medium-sized fiefdoms, the five major families have obtained large tracts of land, but unfortunately it is becoming more and more difficult to defend.

Once castles, crisscrossed the northern frontier land, the nobles in order to defend their homeland, has always fought to the end, even the orcs are afraid of three points.

It's different now. Although the castle was retained, the nobles who were responsible for defending it were degenerated.

Back then, they were working for themselves, and they were all fighting for their lives. Now that it has become a life for the five major families, it is too much to take everyone's lives for just a little military salary.

If you win, you will fight, and if you can't win, you will run. Desperate efforts do happen, but they are forced to do so.

forced everyone to fight to the death, the five major families have not tried. It's just that the final result is very touching, and people simply don't come.

In the end, there was no way, and the five major families could only choose to compromise. while trying to change their own image; On the one hand, they offered better conditions to lure nobles from other regions of the kingdom to join the northern battlefield.

In addition, for the sake of the overall situation, the other major forces of the kingdom did not want the northern defense line to collapse, and provided them with a lot of support, which slowly stabilized the situation.

"That's a nice thing you say! If you really get to the south and you don't know the place, how do you let the Sith gain a foothold in the area?

Don't forget, there are not a few small and medium-sized nobles who have been tossed into decline by you in the past two hundred years.

Not all of these people died, and many families slowly resurfaced after going south.

Time has passed, but the hatred has not dissipated. Once you let them know that the Sith is your son, I'm afraid the time will come ......"

Mrs. Lina, who didn't buy it, directly exposed the truth.

The bane planted by the ancestors, Calradia is also very helpless. The Felix family has not thought about cutting the grass and eradicating the roots, but the problem is that the nobles in the world are close to each other, and they affect the whole body.

Originally, the events of that year made several of them notorious and were rejected by the noble circle of the kingdom. If you do things again, you will become an enemy of the nobility.
