Back in the small town of Iowa, let the students of the Galloping Horse Academy, who had been away from the plains for nearly a month, sigh, especially Elenda Maned Wolf, niece of the Earl of the Northwest, and Lemes Mormont, daughter of the Viscount of Whitetree, who were eager to return home immediately.

Therefore, not long after the disbandment, Elenda ran over and begged Rant: "Lord Rand, do you have a portal to Night Qi City?" Can you open it up to me and Remes once, we've never been away from the kingdom for so long! ”

"Yes, but you two have to wait," Rand said, pulling out a noble badge from his pocket and taping it to Elenda's clothes.

"It's ......" Elenda looked at the badge with a glint in her eyes.

"At present, my authority can only give you the title of court baron," Rand casually pasted another badge on Lymes's body, "You have a hereditary knight's fief, it is estimated that it is a knight's farm, and when you come back, slowly draw on the map." ”

"Your Excellency, are you serious!" Elenda's eyes widened and she asked in disbelief, "Are we really hereditary lords with fiefdoms?" ”

"What are you lying to," Rand pulled out a dozen noble insignia, not only for the two girls, but also for Dandilian, Uffy, and every knight's apprentice who participated in the commando.

"You are the first Terran army to fight in the heart of the orcs during childbirth, a feat that was rare even a thousand years ago."

According to the recommendations of the General Staff, all knights who have merit in killing rat people and orcs west of Iowa will be granted knightly fiefdoms, and knights who enter the assault team and penetrate deep into the heart of the basin will also be given the title of court baron.

"There was supposed to be a ceremony, but my sealing ceremony is at the end of the year, and I guess you won't be early," Rand said with a smile, "I see that you look like you're in a hurry to go home, so I'll give you the badge first." ”

"Thank you, Lord Rand!" Elenda couldn't help but hug Rand and happily ran towards the castle of the lords.

"My lord, I don't want to be a knight, I want to enter the Galloping Knights and follow you to fight!" Uffy said with a determined gaze.

Among all the demon supporters under Lante, she is a rare single state, not only does she have no demon partner or elders, but she also has no relatives, and she is completely in a state where she eats enough for the whole family.

Therefore, Uffy's goal has always been to be a knight of the Rand family or a knight of the court, and he has no intention of running his own territory at all.

"This is a symbol of your merits, if you don't like to operate, I will find someone to help you take care of it in the future, so that you can have a share of income every year." Rand smiled and patted Uffy's shoulder, "But don't go to the Galloping Knights, I want to train some palace attendants in the future, you can teach them, and they can be regarded as my court knights." ”

"Thank you, sir!"

When Rand walked up to Dandilian, he noticed that the girl was a little hesitant, so he smiled and asked, "Why, do you think that only you have the merit and you can't share it with your brothers and sisters?" ”

Dandilian was stunned for a moment, and then asked, "My lord, after a month of thinking, I don't want a fief anymore, if you can, can you allow me to go to Dragon's Tooth City and be the guard of the palace?" ”

Rand looked at the girl in silence for a long time before he sighed and asked, "Dragon's Tooth City is a complicated place, you have lived there before, are you sure you want to go back?" ”

Dandilian felt that Rand seemed to be pointing something, but she did not object to herself, so she replied carefully: "My lord, I have some old friends in Dragon's Tooth City, and now I have some gold coins, and I want to help them ......"

"If you must go, go for it." Rand's tone softened a bit, "But the city may be chaotic lately, so you have to be careful." ”

……

In the evening, when Elenda returned to the castle in the lord's mansion of Maned Wolf City, she was told that her father Kempins Maned Wolf and his new love Jessica White Owl had gone hunting in the northern Frostwolf Forest and had been off for two or three days, not only these two people, but also his eldest brother and second brother were not there.

"Aren't they there?" Elenda was a little incredulous, in the same period last year and the beginning of this year, the Northwest Territory was carrying out military operations one after another, and even the Maned Wolf Knights participated in the counterinsurgency operation in Whitetree City not long ago, and the Count should not leave his fiefdom and go to live happily with his girlfriend during this time.

"A few days ago, His Majesty the King found the Earl and forced him to agree to split the Northwest Territory, and split the White Tree City, Roth Territory and Barony of Galloping Horse into the Western Earlland, and our Northwest Earldom is likely to have no development authority in the future!" When the old housekeeper said this, he seemed to have been wronged, "Once the maned wolf family loses the right to develop, I am afraid that the situation will plummet." ”

"Uh, what about my dad?"

After Elenda's reminder, the butler remembered: "The Earl has been depressed since he came back, and only then was he moved by Lady Jessica to go to the Frostwolf Forest to relax." ”

"I see," Elenda said as she ran outside the City Lord's Mansion, returning to Night Kirk City through the portal before dark, catching up with an internal merchant ship heading east and getting on it.

To Elenda's surprise, this ship is a new customized ship in Night Qicheng, the hull is several times larger than the previous inland cargo ships, the space on the deck is only used to hold the magic pattern container, and there are watertight cabins and bulk cargo compartments below the deck.

There is also a submerged compartment at the stern of the cabin, and a 1-metre square opening in the bilge allows direct access to the bottom of the river from the hull, through which the finless porpoise can get on board and rest.

It was on this ship that Elenda met the finless porpoise mage Lenikova Finless Porpoise, who led the team to accept the new cargo ships and preside over the trial ceremony.

"Elenda, I didn't expect to meet you here, you just finished the battle, shouldn't you go back to your Maned Wolf City?" Lenikova asked with a grin in the cabin.

"My father went to the Frostwolf Forest, and I want to find him." Elenda told the truth, "The Maned Wolf Knights and the guards in the castle don't listen to me, and I want to ask the Frostwolf Knights of White Wolf City to help me lead the way." ”

"No wonder, but I can help you too!" Renikova nodded, reached out and put her arm around Elenda's shoulder, and whispered seductively, "I know that your family has its own route and plantation in the Frostwolf Forest, as long as you agree to my clan going there to do business in the future, how about I take you there for free this time?" ”

"I can't control the business route at home, but I have a shop in White Tree City, as long as you take me to the Frostwolf Forest, I can share the business of that shop with you!"

The eyes of the finless porpoise girl were full of surprise: "The daughter of the earl's family is really different, a word is a certainty!" ”
