If you want to be promoted to lord in the Grimm Empire, there are actually very strict requirements, many noble families have been worried about maintaining the glory of their families, of course, there are also ambitious people who want to create an immortal feat in their lifetime, so that the family under their own leadership, more prosperous and powerful.During the reign of Charles the Great, the promotion of the noble titles of the Green Empire had a very specific contribution.If you want to be promoted to the title, there are currently two easiest and most direct ways, the first is to kill foreign invaders, just like killing barbarians in Sloit Province, because they are worried that someone will take the suspicion of leading the army, so when counting military merits, the contribution value will be calculated by the barbarian's left ear.Of course, in Haiyinsi City, kill the Naga Hai clan to obtain the dorsal fin of the Naga warrior, and you can also receive military merit at the logistics department of the Southern Legion of Haiyinsi.However, now that the Grimm Empire and the Naga Sea Clan are in a truce, if anyone dares to kill the Naga Sea warriors at this time, then he will be waiting for several years in prison.Humans and barbarians are mortal enemies, but whether to fight or make peace with the Naga Sea Clan depends on the game of the upper nobles.The second way to promote the title, which is simpler than the first, is that the nobles can expand their territory and fiefdoms.As we all know, at the beginning of the awakening of the magic pool, the magician nobles will get a third-class baron, which is the lowest rank in the imperial lords, and corresponding to the title, Charles the Great of the Green Empire will reward the new magician nobleman with a fief of his own.The territories that are now allocated to the new magicians are actually some barren land, and some of these resource-poor planes are originally very barren, except for land and basic resources, other resources are very scarce, and some were plundered and looted by the powerful nobles before, and the entire land left was distributed to the new magicians by Charles the Great.A third-class baron owns almost ten hectares of land, and the number of people under his rule is about a hundred, and now I have become a first-class baron, and the land under my jurisdiction has grown to a hundred hectares, and the number of people under his jurisdiction has also increased to a thousand, these are the rewards awarded to me by the Grand Duke of Slimit, which I have obtained in exchange for merit by killing barbarians, and of course, the left ear of those barbarians can even fill five magic chests.For example, a third-class baron has no right to buy land that exceeds the upper limit of his title, for example, Ma is already a third-class baron, he already has ten hectares of fiefdom, and he has no right to buy a new fief until his ten hectares of fief is not cancelled, and if he buys it privately, he will face a huge fine if he is found by the tax officer.If the nobles want to expand their territory, they can only rely on the power in their own hands to go to those planes that have not yet been developed, plunder and occupy the original indigenous inhabitants of those planes, and they can be driven away, killed or captured, so that the new territories opened up can be regarded as expanded territories.Many of the minor nobles, who had only a few servants and followers in the beginning, would take their followers and followers with them to fight in planes that were not completely under the control of the Empire.These planes are usually the private property of some wealthy families in the empire, and these wealthy nobles will organize some powerful private armies by themselves, gradually develop these planes, and plunder the resources in the plane.These wealthy families usually welcome some small nobles to come over, they will open the door of convenience, let these small nobles bring their own teams into the private property plane of the wealthy family to fight, of course, these conquests are not all without cost, the small nobles lead their knights to fight in these planes that are still in the wild world, and the land occupied will be divided into ten, of which the Grimm Empire will take seventeen percent of the land as a tax, The rest of the land will be divided according to the previous agreement between the minor nobles and the wealthy families.This is how the minor nobles expand their territory, and once their territory and the number of inhabitants of the territory reach the upper limit of the next title, they can apply to the Empire for a promotion to their own title.Sunlight shines through the carved vines on the camphor wood windows, casting cloudy shadows on the floor of the room, and beams of sunlight shine through the clear and transparent glass, causing the temperature in the room to rise rapidly.The oil in the oil-fired stove on the desk had burned out, the water in the round beaker on the iron frame was no longer boiling, and Dennis and I were a little unsatisfied with Noah's explanation of the promotion of nobles to lordship.Dennis made no secret of his humble beginnings, if he hadn't been a magician, he would have honestly stayed in his fiefdom, inherited his father's title in obscurity, and then lived an ordinary life without worrying about food and clothing.But now that Dennis is a magician, and the most promising of this year's graduates in Salta, that's where his confidence comes from.Dennis very much wants to establish some merits by himself after completing his studies, magicians are usually very popular in the army, so Dennis's ideal is to become a mage in the army of the North Wind Legion, yearning to fight with barbarians, in his subjective consciousness, this kind of battle can allow him to quickly accumulate merit and be promoted to the Lord.Before I came to the imperial capital, I didn't care too much about whether I was a nobleman or not, in the city of El, the people there looked down on the nobility, maybe the nobles were very unpopular in the city of El, and the number of commoners in the city of El was very large, which made everyone ignore the importance of the aristocracy.But after coming to the imperial capital, I found that I was not exempt from vulgarity after all, and deep down I also had a desire for the throne.The reason for this is that it's still hard to ignore the level gap, and in El City, I don't have to think about Ying Li's status as a princess, yes!
I can feel no pressure to think of her as an ordinary aristocratic girl living in the affluent area of El City, and I will feel at ease with her.But when I saw Ying Li again in the imperial capital, the feeling she brought me was completely different, although her original heart has never changed, but she is contaminated with a strong aristocratic atmosphere, although she usually seems to pay attention to restraint, but as a princess, the powerful aura will still make me feel very pressure.I would even ask myself at night when I couldn't sleep in bed: what the hell are you doing, Jiga, are you courting a princess of the Grimm Empire, do you just want to live like this?
Even if Ying Li will resist all the pressure to marry me after all, will I listen to those sarcastic words with great calmness and be indifferent?
I think that the mountain that stands between me and Ying Li is not Ying Li's relatives, but the hierarchy of the Green Empire, even if I and Ying Li don't care, but after all, the two of us don't jump out of the cracks in the stones, we still have our own relatives around us, after all, we have to take into account their feelings, I can't imagine what it would be like if there would be a day in the future, Leant and Fanny and Ying Li's parents would eat at the same table.The oily fat face of the logistics quartermaster of the material and logistics department of the city hall of El City Hall came to mind, and he said to me very courteously: The maximum authority of the city hall of El City can only promote me to the baron of the first class, if you want a third-class viscount, you must go to the material logistics headquarters of Sloit City, and only the quartermaster there has the right to promote a noble viscount.Sighing softly, thinking of the nearly a thousand merits required by the third-class viscount, it is not something that can be made up in a moment, and it seems that this road to promotion is by no means an easy task.Dennis casually rummaged through the oil stove from his magic waist bag, and his mouth kept complaining: "I heard that there is a fuel on the Pai Plateau that becomes corpse fire oil, and it is said that that the oil stove is about only" He paused slightly, as if thinking very intently, and then compared his hand to his chest and said: "It's like an oil stove as big as a log stump, the entire furnace of corpse fire oil can burn continuously for a month, my God, if there is such a stable fire source, then the difficulty of alchemy is not many times less, You look at this kind of oil stove produced by our empire, the lunch box is so big, a small oil stove can only boil two pots of water, it is the kind of larger, the heat is not enough, I guess there must be a shaman elder who is good at alchemy, do you want to go to the market in the imperial capital in the afternoon, I think there should be a shop selling that kind of oil stove in the imperial capital. ”"Isn't there a shop in the province of Salta that buys this kind of oil-fired stove?
I'd heard of this kind of oil stove, I had seen it in the magic shop in the provincial city of Palestina, but I didn't pay much attention to it at the time, it naturally had a foul smell. ”Noah said."
Well, even if there is, it was snapped up by those adventurers and the Lone Ranger, and I went to the magic shop several times, but I never managed to buy it."
Dennis said helplessly.I didn't think that this kind of oil-fired furnace of corpse fire oil would have a certain market here in the imperial capital, and the final audience turned out to be some alchemists."
I want to go to the library to see, a few days ago, I finally found a book of concentrated black oil from the library, but unfortunately there were not enough points at the time, I exchanged a little points yesterday, and I was finally able to borrow books in the library, do you want to go together, if you have any books that you want to borrow, I can help!"
Noah said."
Points can still be redeemed?
What to redeem?
Magic Crystal?
”I was very interested in the information provided by Noah, and hurriedly asked."
Oh, it's a magic crystal, but it's not, I used the empire's merit points to exchange for academy points, speaking of which, I bought those merit points with the magic crystal."
Noah was a little stumbling, obviously this kind of thing was hard to say.Noah talked about how he used magic crystals to buy merit points, but this kind of thing is most common in El City, where many eagles make a living from it, and the eagles will form a team to go out of the city to kill the lone barbarians and seize their left ear.Anyone who can hold these left ears can exchange them for merit at the material logistics office of the city hall in El City, and these merits can be promoted to their own knighthood for nobles, and they can also be exchanged for corresponding magic materials or magic equipment at the material logistics office.Many aristocrats like to buy some barbarians' left ears to add some merit to themselves, I think what Noah said is to exchange merit in this way!
The merits of the empire can be exchanged for points of the academy, so in this case, I think I still have more than 300 merits on my body, which were obtained by killing barbarians during the winter hunting, it turns out that these can be exchanged for points!"
Points, I'm okay with this, I joined an alchemist's club, and every time I participate in club activities, I can get a certain amount of academy points, and I can also receive tasks in the club, and I can also earn a certain amount of points after completion, so I don't need it!"
Dennis spread out his hands and said proudly, it can be seen that he has some superiority over his identity as an alchemist, of course, the magicians who can come to the Royal Academy of Magic have some proud capital."
So if it's merit points, how will you redeem them?"
I asked Noah curiously."
One to ten, ten points that can only be exchanged for a little merit, calculated together, the price of borrowing books in the library is still very expensive!"
Noah said to me.At this time, there was a knock at the door of Dennis's dormitory, and a maid who looked very beautiful and had a very well-proportioned figure stood at the door, bowed deeply to Noah, and then said softly: "Prince Noah, the things you have explained have been completed, do you have any other orders?"
”"Forget it, that's it, you can go.If I keep you here any longer, my brother will come from Palestina and rebuke me. ”Noah stood up, walked to the door of the dormitory, reached out and took a handful of gold coins from his bosom, thrust them into the maid's arms, and sent her away.I saw more than a dozen maids walking out of the dormitory in an orderly manner along the balcony of the dormitory, and Noah and I stood on the terrace to watch them walk away one after another, at this time Noah smiled, leaned into my ear, and asked me in a low voice: "Do you have any eyes, you might as well tell me, those female slaves are all trained and very docile."
