Welcome, please remember the address of this site: , read on your mobile phone, so that you can read the latest chapter of the novel "Warhammer God" at any time...
The Earl of Glamorgan was newly established, with 18 villages and three towns (Jin Town, Chinon Town, and Devon Town) under its jurisdiction. It has a legal claim to half of the Sharon Forest. At the same time, the Earl of Glamorgan can seize The jurisprudence claims also include the two villages currently fallen in the Principality of Belaron, and the vampire stronghold on the banks of the Grace Murray River in the north of the Sharon Forest-the Spire Palace.
Three baron titles can be added to the earldom. Ryan also has ten kingdom knights and eighty ranger knights. The number of kingdom knights has strict restrictions, but for the earl, ranger knights are theoretical. The authorities can seal as many as they want—provided the finances allow it.
With a population of more than 56,000 people, the earldom is already a rich land.
Ryan began to send people to gradually take over his new territory. Among them, Theodoric, the Duke of Belion, was angry at the king's entrustment of part of his land to Ryan, but he had no choice but to do it - those lands are currently in Estalia According to the law, since the land is lost and cannot be regained for a long time, the king has the right to confiscate and cancel the title.
And something happened that made Theodoric open his mouth wide.
After Earl Tobalo of Estalia heard about this incident, he took the initiative to order the abandonment of these two villages, and let the people sent by Ryan take over, and all the troops withdrew.
The southerners are afraid. Every news from Ryan over the years has shocked the mainland. The feats he has accomplished and the powerful enemies he has eliminated are countless. Earl Tobalo is really afraid of this lady's God's Choice champion. He and Duke Theodoric has been fighting for many years and knows each other's old background, but facing Ryan, he really doesn't want to fight the God-Chosen Champion of the Fairy of the Lake.
This guy is too powerful.
Earl Tobalo also sent an envoy to the town of Jean with Estalia's specialties to express his goodwill. Ryan did not refuse and accepted all the orders.
The vassals of my vassals are not my vassals. The war between the Principality of Berleon and Estalia is Theodoric's own war and has nothing to do with Ryan. The king can intervene in this war, and other dukes can intervene , the earl under Theodoric can intervene, but it has nothing to do with Ryan.
In July, the midsummer season, the Earl's Castle in Lane.
After being promoted to Earl, Ryan still set up his seat in the town of Jean and his baronial castle. The former Earl of Glamorgan's castle had long since disappeared in the Sharon Forest. It is said that it was after a tragic siege battle. was razed to the ground.
Ryan's base camp has long been run by him like an iron bucket,
There is no need for him to move the seat.
In the morning, the sun was already very dazzling, and at this time Ryan was installing a brand new magic device in the reception room on the second floor.
The sorceress Teresa was wearing a pearl-blend tunic dress, her long black shimmering hair was tied into a ponytail and placed on her full chest, and she directed the craftsmen to put this magic device on it.
Ryan was standing beside her, looking at the sorceress' earnest expression, the man's eyes were full of pity and unknown emotion, his tone was very soft: "Teresa, do you feel better?"
"It's much better." Teresa looked at Ryan with resentment in her eyes, and her silver eyes were full of dissatisfaction: "You only think of me when something happens."
"I went to see you every day when you were in a coma, and I also went to see you every day after you woke up. I will accompany you for at least half an hour before leaving. Have you forgotten?" Ryan was wearing a deep red earl dress, He was already tall and handsome. After years of trials one after another, Ryan now has a very confident and majestic aura.
This is the hero of mankind.
The well-decorated reception room has all kinds of wooden furniture, and the thick curtains have completely covered the windows. Even so, the reception room still feels dry and hot, which is unavoidable.
A castle has never been a suitable place to live. It is safe but not livable. It is very cold in winter and very hot in summer. If it is winter, the castle can be solved by a fireplace, even if it is Duke Francois who Rich people can install "earth dragons" in their castles, that is, underground heating equipment.
There is no other way for Xia Tian, let's bear it.
Ryan came up with the air conditioner. It is not difficult to make an air conditioner. The magical technology in this world is definitely enough to make similar things. As long as there is a stable energy supply, the air conditioner can operate.
Taking advantage of the opportunity when the sorceress woke up but had nothing to do, Ryan told Teresa of his idea. Teresa said that it was too simple, set up a magic circle, and then use the metal guide that can transmit magic power to input With enough energy, the air conditioner can operate, which does not require much magic power. Ryan can make an air conditioner run continuously for several days with a little magic power.
So many rooms in his castle are equipped with air conditioners. The biggest beneficiary of this is the dark elf Orika. The earl's personal maid was born in the cold Naggaros. She doesn't like this stuffy weather very much. After being sick all day, Olika feels better with the air conditioner.
"There are twenty-four hours in a day, Ryan." The sorceress still complained in her tone.
"There are only twenty-four hours a day, Teresa." Ryan complained. He is indeed energetic, but as a new baron, he does have a lot of things to deal with. There may be more to work on.
"Mother wants to send some witch apprentices to practice in your territory. It is not only to enhance the experience of spell-casting battles, but also to help you build your territory. Do you need it?" Teresa activated the magic circle and said expectantly.
"Of course, I welcome it, but my opinion is to wait until you settle down here." Ryan nodded, and he pointed to the luxurious wizard tower outside the window: "Veronica's Dawn Wizard Tower will be closed at the end of this year." It will be completed, Speaker Margarita has already spoken to me, and she will send twenty witch apprentices here to train Veronica, and the new alliance will be signed between me and the Garland Council."
Teresa frowned naturally when she heard the news, she knew she was one step slower.
The sorceress thought to herself that this matter should be discussed with her mother. Ryan is now a hereditary hereditary earl, and her majesty has become more and more serious. Now she is not allowed to get along with Ryan: "I will go and discuss with my mother. .”
There are no more than 300 people with the title of earl in the old world. Ryan has already stood on the tip of the pyramid of great nobles, and he himself is a very powerful Holy Grail Knight, the champion of God's Choice.
"Okay, and the location of your wizard tower should be finalized early." Ryan nodded.
"Of course, I will definitely build a wizard tower that won't lose to Veronica." Teresa said angrily. Before Veronica appeared, she was very close to confirming the relationship with Ryan, but it didn't work out. What I thought of was that Veronica had already had an affair with Ryan several years ago, and she was now behind everywhere, and she was still a step behind, which really made the sorceress very unhappy.
But Ryan is so good, she can't put other men in her eyes now, how many people in this world can achieve the peak of the legend at the age of 28, relying on his own strength?
"By the way, it seems that there are a lot of ranger knights in Jin Town recently? I see that the hotels in the town are full." The female sorceress chatted about a topic she was interested in.
"They all want to get entrustment from me, and they came to me for spurs." With a faint smile on Ryan's handsome face, he pointed to the crowd in front of the castle: "Brittania, the country of knights, Every descendant and descendant of a nobleman automatically enters the knight class, but dear Teresa, do you understand what it takes to truly become a knight?"
"Let me think about it, if you want to become a knight, you have to start as a knight retinue until you become an apprentice knight, and then wait for the canonization of the nobles, so these knights came to you for the canonization?" Teresa said with great interest , She took the initiative to hold Ryan's arm.
"There are no trainee knights in Britannia, and knights automatically become knight-errants when they are recognized, but there is still a difference." Ryan nodded: "There is a difference between real knights and false knights. For example, Luo in my territory Puth, Olivier and others are full titles, with positions and salaries, while those knight errants are fake titles, with nothing but a title of knight, so..."
"You can just say that the wandering knight and the knight-errant are not, why make it so complicated?" The sorceress gave him a look.
Yes, after Ryan became the earl, the young knights who had not yet been entrusted in the knight kingdom were shocked. Who wouldn't want to fight under the lady's god-chosen champion, and who wouldn't want to gallop on the battlefield with the Holy Grail Knight?
By the afternoon, the ranger knights who came to recommend themselves almost filled the entire town. A large group of nearly a thousand knights crowded the streets. They led their horses and wore chain mail or plate armor. Sweaty, waiting for the chance to meet Lord Lane-Maccador.
Le Angoulan's "Blue Sea Monster", Bastogne's "Red Dragon", Connet's "Leaping Lion", Lyonnaise's "Red Lion Head", Bordereau's "Poseidon" Trident", Winford's "Pure White Horse", Belion's "Battle Axe", Carcassonne's "Red and Blue Long Sword", Montfort's "White Castle", Palaion's "Yellow Pegasus" , "White Stag" by Gisole Oaks.
Today's Jean Town is holding the Britannia Family Coat of Arms Fair. These knight-errants will meet Ryan one by one to undergo martial arts and cultural inspections. The outstanding ones will get a "trial period" of three months to one year. ", if they perform well during the probationary period, they will be formally appointed as Ryan's ranger knights.
Among them, many ranger knights are also eyeing the number of kingdom knights in Ryan's hands. It is a hurdle for ranger knights to be promoted to kingdom knights, and kingdom knights means owning their own fief.
Ryan thought how to be like Ju Xiaolian.
The ranger knights who followed Ryan were all named kingdom knights by him. The five kingdom knights are Angron, Armand, Lopes, Olivier, and Hux. Ryan also has five kingdom knights The quota is waiting for canonization.
Every canonization of a knight of the kingdom means the loss of a directly-administered village. Currently, Ryan still holds fifteen directly-administered villages.
The new Lord Earl began his own painful process of selecting knight errants.
At the same time, in the guest room in the castle, the female knight Suria was drinking afternoon tea with her maid Silvia.
Su Liya was wearing a deep sleeveless elegant short dress of jeweled navy blue. Her long blond hair hung down to the back of the chair, showing her graceful and luxurious temperament. She picked up her teacup and said with a smile: "It seems to be very lively outside."
"Yes, miss, it is said that more than 800 knights have come this time, and they all want to be canonized by Lord Ryan and fight side by side with him." The maid Sylvia wore a natural pleated and colorful dress, and she bundled her blond hair. In the back of my head, I talked about a recent anecdote: "It is said that many knight-errants are looking for people everywhere to find out where Lord Ryan usually appears in the town, which bar they like to go to, and what kind of wine they drink, and then follow suit. It's sold out."
"Naturally, isn't my father the same way back then? My father returned to the Principality after completing the Holy Grail expedition. He liked to go fishing by the river, so several ranger knights drowned because of it the next year. My father likes to get up early in the winter. Strolling around Helen Hield, and within two days, the ranger knights started to hang out together in groups early in the morning, creating 'chance encounters'." Suria pursed her lips and smiled.
This is the status of the Holy Grail Knights in the country. Their every move will attract countless people to follow suit. They are close to the Holy Grail.
"Speaking of which, His Excellency Ryan is really amazing. He is already the earl, miss, you are so happy, he is the person you like, the person who matches you, and the lady's god-chosen champion." Sylvia Her character is very serious, and she said with a sigh: "Your Excellency Ryan's future is limitless."
"We are competing every day, so the pressure is great." Su Liya is also very satisfied with this marriage, but the female knight still whispered: "There is no way, if I am satisfied and the status is equal, then it is impossible not Compete, if you don’t compete with someone, either I’m dissatisfied, or the status is not equal, so I’m tired.”
"Miss, what do you have to worry about? Emilia and that dark elf Olika are just maids. The witches from the Garland Council are naturally unable to compete with the lady. Just give them the status of female courtiers later. "Sylvia said disapprovingly.
"...Forget it, you don't understand even if you tell me." Su Liya glanced upstairs thoughtfully.
For now, the female knight is indeed invincible, but she always feels a little uneasy in her heart. She always feels as if there is a black hand behind the scenes manipulating her marriage with Ryan.
…………
The selection of knight-errants took three full days. Ryan selected 60 knight-errants, all of whom are the best of the duchies. These knight-errants will form the earl's knight troops.
Just finished recruiting the ranger knights, Ryan immediately ushered in another good news.
Veronica's Wizard's Tower is almost complete.
