The Defeated Dragon

The meeting in Ginenburg lasted two days.

The knights of the two days' territories have left, and the knights of Coral Island, who left Fort Gingen on 12 July, stemmed from an order of the Count.

“Livius, you lead the Knights back to Cape Town, rendezvous with the family's fleet, and when my meeting is over, you'll head straight to Cape Town. ”

“Yes, Lord Father. ”

When the Count left the Knights and went back to Fort Ginseng, Lester chased him out and asked a question: "Father, I was in the city along the way, searching for a few craftsmen to take away, shouldn't that be a big problem? ”

“The Grand Duke's Knights have taken over the big cities, so don't do this... We are now discussing kung fu, and it is best to follow the rules, because there are small things that destroy the glory that should belong to you, without loss.” The Earl said, "With your Viscount title, this battle can be determined, which is the most important. ”

Theoretically, William Lee is the Earl of the Seal and can divide anyone into Viscounts.

In practice, however, he had only the right to the division of his territory, the proposal of a new territorial seal and the right to trade - by official definition, that is, if he divided a plot of land from Coral Island to the followers to seal it, the court would not interfere in the slightest, even if the ten Viscounts were to be sealed, as long as the land could be cut.

But Coral Island is this big, and holding two Viscounts has cut out a lot of land, and cutting another city out will shake Tulip Chamberlain's finances.

At this point, a new territory needs to be traded from the Grand Duchy for the partition of followers.

The reward that an exchange needs is combat merit.

The Court shall have the right to inspect and examine the Sealed Knight and, if the Sealed Knight does not meet the Sealed Conditions as determined by the Court, the Court shall have the right to refuse to deal with the new Territory. In the form of material rewards, or the accumulation of battle power, the followers' battle power is stored.

Wait for the right way to redeem the battle.

Li William has not increased the area of the enclosed land for many years, and has been rewarded with material rewards because of the high transaction requirements of the new territory.

Unless he can accumulate the battle for the promotion of the Marquis and acquire a larger island as the enclosure, it will not only be inconsequential but meaningful to exchange it for a new island.

“Am I good enough for war? ”

“Enough, the Grand Prince was pleased with the performance of the Yam and Tulip families and said many good things and mentioned you. If you want, you can even be a follower of the Great Prince, but I know, are you developing a new island?” William Lee revealed.

He did already know about Lester's development of Hema Island.

Lister nodded, not denying: “I want the island of Black Horse as a enclosure, about 2,000 square kilometres in size, similar to the territory of a small city. ”

“Black Horse Island, it will soon come true. ”

“By the way, Father, can I stay in Flower Town for a long time, just a small town where I can pay more for my family as a long-term lease. ”

William Lee thought a little: "Yes, I'll talk about this later, I have to go back to the meeting. ”

Wait for the Count to leave.

Lester is still thinking about his packet.

He has studied the Knightly Separation System, which is essentially similar in the knightly dominated world, in academic terms - all of which inherit from the Moon Empire and in which the Lords have independent ownership of the territory.

But there are many differences in form.

The separation system between the Grand Duchy of Sapphires and the metropolitan kingdom of Iron Ridge differs - the kingdom of Iron Ridge is a feudal form of enclosure overlap and the Grand Duchy of Sapphires is a feudal form of island replacement.

……

Sealed overlay.

Refers to territories that can be acquired continuously and stacked together.

For example, a knight, who became a knight of the Order, acquired a small village enclosure, then made war, promoted to the Baron, and acquired a small town enclosure. Then his title is "A Town Baron” plus “A Village Lord Knight” and he has two separate territories.

So that his eldest son may inherit a town baron, and his second son may inherit a village lord knight.

Of course, most of them are first-born sons who get all the titles, second sons go to war, write novels, play the piano, lick noble celebrities - the sadness of second sons is probably why monogamy of nobility can be practised, too many wives means more second sons, and the imbalance in separation will increase, leading to the collapse of the knighthood system.

……

Island replacement.

It is the special feudal system of the Grand Duchy of Sapphires, meaning that nobility can only own one island, or one city, with no overlapping territory.

For example, a knight, who became a knight of the Order, acquired a small village enclosure, then made war, promoted to the Baron, and acquired a small town enclosure. Then he would have to choose the town as his enclosure, abandon the original village enclosure and retain the highest title, "Baron of a town”.

But there is a considerate strategy to ensure that the interests of the Territory are not compromised - the former Territory could retain a harvest period of three to five years for transferring the wealth of the Territory's elves, populations, etc.

When the Tulip family was also named Tiles, Lister's grandfather, Greg Tiles, was the Viscount of Tahiti on an island near Blue Dragon Island.

After succeeding to the title of Viscount, Li William became an Earl, chose Coral Island and retained Tahiti City's three-year harvest period by paying taxes.

Three years later, Tahiti City was recovered by the court after the transfer of the family's property.

The introduction of this system has a direct bearing on the fact that the Grand Duchy of Sapphire is an archipelagic State. With so many islands, so few lands, so difficult to navigate, the aristocrats want to communicate between the two enclosures of Tianan and Haibei, it can cost a lot of money in the voyage, so simply focus on one island.

Thus, the island change system, a smooth one, emerged.

But the system is dead, man is alive.

Lester wanted to lease Flower Town for a long time, and as long as he paid, he believed that Lee William and Lee Weiss had no reason to disagree, after all, it was a family.

“Flower Town is the beginning of my career. Most of the rewards for smoke missions also come from Flower Town, which may have special significance, and I can't help but give up. ”

Flowertown is his dragon boom.

Although the world does not talk about the place of dragon boom, Lester is more or less influenced by feng shui and has a slight preference for the place of dragon boom. Even without talking about the place of Longxing, Flower Town has much of the fruit of his hard work, and it is difficult to throw it away immediately.

Most importantly, the Invisible Dragon visited the town.

This is one of the dragon's clues, and maybe one day, the Invisible Dragon will come back to town, and Lester will be able to get in touch with it and try to ride it one day and become a Dragon Knight.

What a mess!

……

After landing in Horn Town on Iron Hoop Island on 11 June and returning to Horn Town on 14 July, the battle over Horn Town ended for a full month.

Lester can relax in bed and enjoy the tranquility of the war.

When the Count arrives, he can sail home.
