Chapter 19: I Want Trois-Rivières

That is to say, but the gold content of Earl Wright's two successful works is much higher than Claire's.

When she first learned of this information, Claire didn't have much of an idea, but just wanted Earl Wright to send an army to capture Reese, so that she might be able to mix up a little more battle exploits.

But unexpectedly, Count Wright did not choose to send a large army, but chose to take action himself, and actually captured Reese back.

You must know that in this world, a sixth-order magician, facing a high-level professional, unless the difference in strength is too large, there is still the ability to save his life.

Once a magician has passed the fifth order and mastered the simple spatial magic tricks, his safety in battle is greatly improved, and he will not be easily approached, and the weakness of the weak body is not a big deal.

Count Wright was able to kill a sixth-order magician, then his strength may not be a seventh-order professional who has just stepped into the high-level, but it is very likely that he is the eighth street, or even the ninth order.

Thinking of this, Claire felt a chill in her back, with his current strength, under the command of such a strong man, the security was too low.

Good guy, when the time comes to fief, you must get as far away from Trois-Rivières as possible, and unless your strength recovers, don't deal with Count Wright again.

Claire's inner prayers were useless, and soon, Claire saw Earl Wright again and had to deal with each other again.

But this time, Claire couldn't hide even if she wanted to.

The matter of the knighthood in Three Rivers City has really begun.

The ceremony of knighthood is nothing to say, except for letting the onlookers take a good look at the excitement, it has no meaning.

According to the rules of the kingdom, although every nobleman has the right to canonize vassals, if the title wants to be legitimate, it must be reported to the king and the king can be canonized.

In other words, even if the Earl of Wright is a 10,000 baron, or even an earl or duke, it is just that this is not a "legitimate" nobleman recognized by the kingdom. Even if you call yourself a duke, according to the laws of the kingdom, you are still a commoner, and you will be punished according to the laws of the commoners.

Only after being canonized by the king can they be considered legitimate nobles, and enjoy the various preferential treatment of nobles in the laws of the kingdom.

Of course, under normal circumstances, the counts and dukes themselves divide the lower nobles and report to the king, and the king will approve it, and basically there has never been a situation where the king does not agree. Therefore, after a simple knighthood ceremony, Claire and the others have been recognized as nobles, and their titles have changed.

This time, there were twelve people who were knighted as barons with Claire, which greatly exceeded everyone's expectations.

It is simply unthinkable to divide twelve barons at one time and replace them with weak counts, because some counts, although they bear the name of earl, but the actual territory is shabby and even the size of a barony.

And the Morris family, who has ruled Trois-Rivières for many years, will not be surprised that they have twelve barons at one time. It's just because the sphere of influence of Three Rivers City is the most powerful in the eastern part of the kingdom, even surpassing the former eastern overlord and the duke family that once guarded the eastern part of the kingdom.

For civilians, witnessing so many new barons being canonized at one time may serve as a talking point for many years. But for the aristocracy, the ceremony is a complete waste of time, and the focus of everyone's attention is not at all.

After the ceremony, it was undoubtedly the highlight part, and the fiefdom was divided!

It was the baron that he was called a real nobleman, and the biggest reason was undoubtedly that he had a fief. According to the kingdom's law of feudalism, even the king cannot pass the lord of the fief and dictate the fief. Unless the inhabitants or lieges of the fief have violated the laws common to the kingdom.

Count Wright, leading a large number of nobles, came to a large hall, coughed lightly, waved his hand, and handed a few pieces of parchment to the new barons.

"Let's take a look, these are all fiefdoms available for selection this time, and you can choose freely from them."

Claire took the parchment, glanced at it casually, saw a familiar place name, and her heart moved, no longer looking at the information of the territory, but carefully looking at the hall. In the hall, the most eye-catching thing is undoubtedly the huge sand table and the equally huge map on the side.

Claire didn't expect that with the civilization level of this world, she could actually see such an accurate sand table and map here. It doesn't seem to be as backward as you think.

Claire stared at the sand table and the map, trying to keep them firmly engraved in her mind and use them for a long time to come. After all, there is nothing like satellites to help him monitor the planet, so that he can easily understand the topography of the planet.

"Lord Earl, this list is not right, many fiefs are not within the sphere of influence of Three Rivers City, and it seems that there are basically lords."

After reading the contents of the parchment, someone couldn't help but ask.

Claire glanced at the other party, and instantly understood that he was the only one who could ask such a question. When the other people present heard this, they also turned their heads to look for the source of the sound, and when they found the person who asked them, they all looked strange, and they continued to look at the parchment in their hands as if nothing had happened.

The one who spoke was a young man in his twenties, with a proud face, dressed in a robe made of purple tut silk that was particularly eye-catching, and his identity was naturally not ordinary, he was the nephew of Count Wright and the grandson of the great magician of the Morris family in Three Rivers City.

Such a status also made him pampered and lawless since he was a child, and he was the most notorious gentleman in Three Rivers City. This time he was given the title of baron, and as a son of the family, Count Wright naturally gave him the title.

"Hmm—" Count Wright sighed inwardly, squinting his eyes and smiling in response. Is there such a thing? Maybe I got it wrong. That's it, Mike, you don't have to look at this, just tell me which territory you want to be a fief. ”

"Anything goes?" Mike couldn't believe it.

"Hmm!" Count Wright nodded.

"Then I want Trois-Rivières!" Mike didn't hesitate.

Suddenly, Claire only felt that the whole hall was suddenly much quieter, and even the sound of the barons' breathing disappeared for a short time.

Claire saw Earl Wright's smile freeze instantly, and the corners of her eyes twitched unconsciously.

"Nonsense!" Count Wright held back the anger in his heart and tried to control his mood. "Just your appearance, can you manage Mikawa City well?"

"You can pick whatever you say! Uncle, you can't talk without words. Mike suddenly felt aggrieved and wanted to jump up immediately. Besides, what's not to do, is it possible that who dares to go against me? ”

"You—" Count Wright felt his breath shorten, and he vaguely felt the urge to hit someone with his hands. Don't make a fuss, you go to Tahe City. ”

"Tower River City?" Mike was still a little reluctant. "How can there be three rivers in Tahe City, uncle, don't be reluctant."

Count Wright's hand had already been raised, and there was a faint flash of energy fluctuations.

"I'll give you Roy Manor again, shut up now, get out! If you dare to say one more word, even if your uncle is present, he won't be able to protect you. ”
