In the early hours of the next morning, Ryan walked alone on the ridge, the late autumn wind blowing on his face, revealing a chill.

He looked at the whiteness of the fish belly gradually rising in the sky, gradually calmed down, looked at the ring on his hand, and was a little distracted.

He had seen the ring in the hands of his grandfather and father, and now it was in his hands.

Grandfather's words were still in his ears, and Ryan didn't know whether to look for them, on the one hand, his grandfather's teachings, and on the other hand, he was yearning and curiosity about the mysterious place.

What a world where everyone is extraordinary, how shocking and desirable.

"Whew...... You can't hurt my family for the sake of curiosity, can you? When I have the strength to be fearless one day, I will follow the glory of my ancestors. ”

The soft murmur of self-questioning and answering was carried into the distance with the autumn wind, and in a trance, Ryan seemed to see a barren land, blood-stained city walls, banners waving in the wind, and spears as cold as a forest......

The demons of the abyss slapped on the city wall layer by layer like a tidal wave, and shouts and wails echoed across the endless battlefield, and the blood mist obscured the sunlight......

"Ray, what are you doing here?"

Raheem was interrupted by Sterling's arrival.

"Teacher, you're always so elusive." Ryan shook his head, squatting on the edge of the ridge without any image, watching the farmer from door to door shouting folk songs out for a day's work, and sighed for a while, he had not been so leisurely for a long time.

"I didn't want to disturb you, but you have to meet a guest coming today." Sterling still had a warm smile on his face.

"Who?"

"The king has come to the capital, about the division of your fiefdom and the canonization ceremony."

"That's going to happen." Ryan stretched, the leisurely time was coming to an end, and if you want to live well in this world, you can't stop.

The envoy of the royal capital could not be lazy, and Mrs. Kaelin Man mobilized the servants up and down the manor, and swept it from the inside out, and prepared to meet it with great momentum.

Ryan and the others also changed into more luxurious clothes and waited respectfully under the autumn sun.

It wasn't until noon that I saw a carriage coming from a horseman, majestic but not luxurious, with its wheels crunching on the stone road.

The royal family's blue-background sword and shield flag hunts in the autumn wind, representing the absolute authority and power of this land.

The carriage stopped outside the courtyard, and a middle-aged man in brocade clothes stepped out of the car, and Ryan immediately greeted him and saluted respectfully: "The Black family salutes you, Lord Viscount Ambushi." ”

"Greetings, Baron Lane. And you, Mrs. Kaylinman. "Viscount Ambushi is a very kind court nobleman, and he does not stand tall because of his high rank and status as an envoy.

Everyone sat down in the hall, and the old butler Deman took Susan and Amy and the others away with great interest, leaving Alan, Delai, Ryan, and Kellenman alone.

Originally, Ryan wanted Sterling to stay, but he left on the pretext that he wanted to teach Susan swordsmanship.

Viscount Ambushi said bluntly: "The day of the canonization ceremony is set at noon on November 1, when His Majesty will personally canonize the heroes of this northern expedition.

Baron Lane needed to arrive at the royal capital at least three days in advance to learn court etiquette. And I have another very important thing to do today, and that is the division of your territory.

Although the canonization ceremony is still early, the statutes have already been set. ”

I saw that he took out a scroll he was carrying, and as soon as he opened it, it was a map of the kingdom, but it was strange that the border areas of the whole map were marked in more detail, but the rest of the place was only divided into provinces, which was very rough.

He laid out the map on the table and said to Ryan and the others, "Because of your outstanding contributions on the battlefield, Your Majesty has decided to grant you the Pioneer Sword, and you can choose one of these places as your territory. ”

Ryan was immediately overjoyed when he heard this, he originally thought it was a direct division, but he didn't expect that he actually had a choice.

Several people hurriedly looked at the place where Ambushi pointed and found that in addition to the northern and central regions, the other three realms had three territories to choose from.

Ryan first ruled out the east, although the eastern territories had access to the sea and were rich in resources, but only the fish-people could only give up Ryan.

After all, although the Black family has a little money, it is still a bit stretched to build a fleet with these, and there is no talent to command naval battles among them.

Then the place to choose is the south and the west, both of which have their own advantages and disadvantages, the south has a pleasant climate, fertile land, and rice crops are harvested twice a year, which is the granary of the kingdom.

But they are all under the threat of orcs and monsters.

The western territory is mostly mountainous, but the mineral and smelting industry is rich, and each of the three territories has several mountains, and even the resource points are marked.

However, these lands are in the main offensive direction of the orcs, the defensive pressure is greater, and the land is barren and cannot grow much food, and the food will still need to rely on imports at that time.

After heated discussions, the Lane and the others still excluded the Western Realm, after all, the only land that could be exploited in the Western Territory was grasslands and mountains, which were not of high value and difficult to defend.

In addition, food is the lifeblood of food, which must not be in the hands of others.

After much comparison and deliberation over the three territories in the South, Ryan finally chose the Kana Territory in Greendown/Linton County in the South.

Judging from the map, this territory is close to the Warcraft Mountains and the Warcraft Mountain Range, far away from the orc territory, and faces less pressure when the orcs raid in winter.

Moreover, the number of people in the territory is considerable, the area is also very large, the forest resources are abundant, and there is an outlet to the sea not far from the territory, if the territory is expanded in the future, it can be pocketed.

However, the biggest disadvantage of this place is the lack of mineral resources, because this territory has been operated and developed by several lords before and after, except for a coal mine, the surface mineral resources have been exhausted.

Even if there are some omissions, it is certainly not much, and it is extremely difficult to mine.

If you want mineral resources, you can only develop to the Demon Beast Mountain Range, but the difficulty can be imagined, it must be very huge.

It's just that there is something to give, there must be gain, it is impossible for one person to take all the benefits, at least there is no need to worry about the problem of food, in this world, there is food is stronger than anything else.

"I'll take Cana, Viscount." Ryan said solemnly.

"Your Excellency the Baron has a unique vision, and this is indeed a good territory. That being the case, then there is only one last thing left, registering the family coat of arms. ”

Viscount Ambush was also full of praise for his choice, and then asked Ryan for the family crest, which was also an important process.

At the time of canonization, the king would also hand over the banner bearing the family crest to Lane, and officially included the coat of arms in the nostocratic coat of arms.

And, as the owner of the Pioneer Sword, he can also have a seat in the Noble Council, which is useless but has access to some internal resources.

Ryan thought about it for a moment and finally decided to redesign the emblem, with a blue base, white stripes as the frame, and the pattern was chosen as a bow and sword cross, but with a sharp eagle eye painted in the middle of the two tops.

"Hmm~ a coat of arms that is very much in line with your family's temperament, in that case, I will go back and report the results to Your Majesty, Baron Kana."
