Chapter 20: Earl Wright's kindness

Mike was still quite steady, and seeing that Earl Wright was really angry, he was resolute and didn't dare to say a word, and left the hall in a gloomy manner.

Many of the remaining nobles in the hall twitched their faces, and it could be seen that they were trying very hard to hold back their laughter.

No one expected that at this time, there would really be a stunned person who came out to make trouble. But this second fool, Count Wright didn't have any good way, but he didn't dare to laugh, so he could only hold back.

When Claire saw Mike, the famous swinger in Three Rivers City, she couldn't help but think of Fred's simple big fool.

Perhaps, this is the genetic inheritance of the Morris family.

After staging such a farce, the next thing went relatively smoothly. The remaining members of the Morris family soon made their own choices.

Not surprisingly, they all picked fiefdoms in Trois-Rivières' sphere of influence. Moreover, they were extremely restrained in not picking the two best fiefs in the list, everyone knew that this was obviously left to Mike by Earl Wright, but Mike obviously did not understand.

They weren't Mike, they had a great magician's grandfather, and even if they were members of the Morris family, they would have to submit to the authority of Earl Wright.

After the members of the Morris family had chosen their fiefs, they were supposed to go to Moore to choose their fiefs in the order of the barons, but Count Wright spoke.

"Claire, you choose first. It is your share of credit for being able to catch Reese, the son of Count Marcus this time, and I don't think the other barons will object to it. ”

As soon as Count Wright said this, everyone's eyes were fixed on Claire, with all kinds of emotions in their eyes, including jealousy, contempt, disdain, murderous intent, and so on.

If it is replaced by the original owner, in the face of the gaze of other barons, it may not be able to bear the pressure, but Claire has also experienced strong winds and waves in her previous life, and when many magic guide experiments failed in her previous life, the pressure given by those competitors was much stronger than that of these weak barons.

"Thank you, Lord Earl, for your kindness." Claire didn't refuse, which in itself was the treatment he deserved. It's not that he wants to be in the limelight, it's just that the things before and after add up, how can he be low-key.

No matter how low-key he is, will the barons who have had a holiday with him, the barons who are jealous of him, let him go? No way! In that case, why keep a low profile.

"Can the territory above be arbitrarily lined?"

Claire raised the parchment in her hand and asked casually.

"Of course." Count Wright raised his eyebrows, with a smile on his face, he did have enough affection for Claire. "It's your power."

Damn, Moore cursed in his heart.

Originally, Count Wright didn't have many ownerless territories, except for the two territories left for Mike, now, only a good fief is in the sphere of influence of Trois-Rivières.

According to the order of separation, it should have been his, but now, Count Wright asked Claire to cut in line, which made his wishful thinking directly fail.

If you can't get this territory, the other lands in the area of Trois-Rivières are barren and worthless, so you can only choose to take the risk to fight for the lord's territory.

But in this way, the risks and costs that need to be paid are great.

Damn it!

Moore didn't dare to resent Count Wright, so he could only spill his anger on Claire. Damn boy, don't think that Lord Earl will get carried away if he likes you, without the support of the family, there is only Fred's waste behind him, even if you get the territory first, are you sure you can hold it firmly?

"In that case, I'm relieved." Claire listened, with a smile on her face, and her ostentatious eyes swept over the other barons, looking at their different expressions.

"I've figured it out..."

Claire deliberately paused for a moment before speaking her decision.

"I choose Tilling!"

Suddenly, the barons were in an uproar and whispered.

"What's the situation, did I hear me wrong?"

"He doesn't want Faroe Town?"

"Crazy......"

Originally, everyone thought that Claire would definitely choose the only remaining good fiefdom, but they didn't expect Claire to choose Tilling Town instead, which is within the sphere of influence of Count Marcas.

Even Count Wright was slightly stunned, and after a moment, he coughed lightly, and the hall was quiet again.

"Claire, the matter of this fiefdom is not a trivial matter, are you sure you want Tilling Town and not consider other places?"

"Sure, I'm going to Tilling." The reactions of those present were actually expected by Claire. Claire's initial idea was simple, to stay away from Trois-Rivières.

The town of Faro, strictly speaking, also meets Claire's requirements. If she hadn't known about the situation in Tilling, Claire might have chosen Faro. After all, the distance from Trois-Rivières City is still quite far, and as an ownerless territory, it doesn't need to spend much effort.

But now, Tilling is much more fragrant than Faro.

"Lord Earl, I have one more question."

Earl Wright frowned slightly, because of Claire's previous performance and Fred's relationship, he deliberately gave Claire a chance to get the town of Faro. He knew very well that with Claire's strength, if he wanted to fight for a territory with an owner, he probably didn't have much chance.

Unexpectedly, Claire rejected his kindness as if she didn't understand. In this case, his kindness has also been given, Claire is unwilling to accept it, and Fred's side will not blame him in the future.

"If you have any questions, you ask."

"Are these territories that are not within the scope of Trois-Rivières City strictly divided into everyone?"

As soon as these words came out, not to mention Earl Wright, most of the barons present understood what Claire meant, and they all looked at Claire in surprise.

Is this young man floating, is he so bold, and he doesn't want to think about whether he has that strength.

The meaning of Claire's words is not difficult to understand.

These domains divided by Count Wright now belong to the vassals of Count Marcas, and it is up to the new barons to seize them themselves. And the seizure is everyone's own ability. Since each depends on his ability, then naturally some people can get it, and some people can't.

What Claire wants to ask is whether capable people can win more.

This kid has a big appetite.

Count Wright glanced at Claire appreciatively, and his evaluation of Claire in his heart increased a few points. Regardless of whether Claire can succeed in the end, but with this idea and courage, at least there will be a lot of achievements in the future.

Perhaps, Fred really made a good friend.

"It's not that strict. In principle, it is mainly based on the boundaries that have been drawn in advance, but in practice, it depends on your respective abilities.

However, I would also like to remind you in advance that before the war ends, I hope that everyone will take the overall situation into account and unite as one. Otherwise, don't blame me for not giving everyone a favor. ”
