Chapter 34: Capital Nolan

At the beginning, one of the important reasons why Richard joined the Crazy Lion Legion was for the subsequent breathing method.

Now the attribute panel has a new function. Killing a professional can get experience points as a reward. As long as you keep adding experience, your skills can continue to improve.

Although I don’t know if I can rely on experience points to advance to the fourth-level professional without the subsequent breathing method.

But with the complete meditation method, Richard can already take the path of a more powerful magician.

Although there are many benefits to joining the Crazy Lion Legion, you can exchange some precious potions with military merits. But relying solely on potion resources, the Crazy Lion Legion has lost its appeal to Richard.

The most critical issue is that the attribute panel is very special.

What is the essence of this thing, Richard still can't figure it out. For such a mysterious thing, Richard dare not expose abnormalities.

This world has gods, although the seven gods are still sleeping. If the attribute panel is known by forces like the church, Richard is not sure what the result will be.

So he dare not gamble, and he must keep this secret.

As an officer in the army, the personal space is very small, and many people are watching every day.

Richard's career and skill improvement cannot be hidden from those who are interested.

Last year, Richard improved many skills and was promoted twice, which made people talk about it.

Taking advantage of the fact that his professional level is not high and he is not conspicuous, it is better to quit the Mad Lion Legion as soon as possible for future development.

In his own territory, there are not only very few restrictions.

As a northern noble, there are many opportunities to win military merits. There are more choices than civilians.

Moreover, Richard is an excellent officer. As long as he is willing to join the army, the Mad Lion Legion welcomes him to join at any time. At that time, he can also obtain the subsequent breathing method from the Mad Lion Legion.

After William came back from the Baron Awarding Ceremony, Richard resigned from the military in mid-December and returned to Black River Castle.

December 29th is the birthday of the Goddess of Dawn, and it is also the most important festival in the Dawn Continent.

Because there are really gods, the status is far more important than the birthday of the Western Goddess in the previous life. The celebration of the festival is very grand.

After spending a complete birthday of the Goddess with his family in Black River Castle, Richard and other men of the Harland family began to get busy.

Sister Wendy's marriage ended before it even started.

Kevin of the Ronald family was lucky. He joined the cavalry regiment of the Knight Academy of the Kingdom of Grant during the war and lived safely until after the war.

But his father Richardson Ronald was unlucky. He was severely injured by the orcs in the war and retired from active service. His grandfather Baron Baron died in the war, and the successor baron was Kevin's uncle.

If Wendy was married to Kevin before the war, it would be a high-class marriage for the Harland family.

Now the Harland family is a hereditary baron, and Wendy is the legitimate daughter of the baron. Marrying Kevin is undoubtedly marrying down.

The two parties were not engaged before the war. Although the elders of the two families had such an awareness, the Ronald family did not unify their opinions.

Now that Richardson's client came to propose marriage, William was a little unhappy and expressed a clear refusal.

This time when he returned to Black River Castle, Richard brought a lot of books. By the way, he told the rest of the family about the gains from Vic Castle.

Wendy was very excited to hear that Richard had obtained the magical magic book, and she copied it down with a feather pen on the spot.

Without anyone's guidance, Wendy actually learned the meditation method and became an elementary magic apprentice.

Wendy has a magical talent, so she can decide her own marriage.

This world is so realistic.

Now that Wendy has mastered extraordinary power, even William has to consider her opinions carefully. Although Wendy's combat effectiveness is still very low, her potential has been revealed. In the family status, she is second only to Richard and surpasses Hayden and Ron.

From now on, Wendy is no longer a tool for the Harland family to form a marriage. Instead, she is a family member with inheritance rights and an important figure in the noble family.

After getting the document of the canonization of the noble title, Richard filled his name in the heir column.

The law of succession of noble titles is a very important law in the Kingdom of Grant.

According to this law, only those who become professionals and master extraordinary powers can have the right to inherit the noble title.

Hayden has not yet become a professional, Barron died in battle, and Richard has been promoted to the second heir of the Harland family.

Powell is the third heir, and Bernie is the fourth heir.

When Hayden and Wendy become professionals, Richard and the other two will be ranked lower in the order of succession.

The nobles of the Dawn Continent have the right of inheritance not only for legitimate sons, but also for illegitimate sons.

Although because of the Dawn Church, all the major kingdoms on the continent are monogamous. However, the power of the king is not weak. Hereditary nobles have legal court maids around them, and the children of court maids also have the right of inheritance.

Female nobles will have guardian knights around them, and they can also legally raise lovers.

Only illegitimate children born secretly will not be protected by law.

William has just been promoted to baron, and there is no court maid around him. The life of the Harland family has not changed much now, and it is not much different from the past.

Five days after the Goddess's birthday festival, the kingdom's envoy has arrived at Black River Castle. This time, the kingdom's envoy entered the northern border, and the main task was to divide the territory for the newly promoted baron and set up boundary markers.

After the territorial division is completed and the boundary markers are laid, some documents need to be processed. Only after all the procedures are completed can the Harland family take over the territory, develop the territory's resources, and use the territory's wealth.

Powell was mainly responsible for the division of the territory, and William was in charge of the paperwork. Richard was not idle, but took a caravan to the capital.

The most important thing for managing a territory is population.

The Barony of Harland is still a wasteland, and there are probably only a few mountain hunters living in the territory.

The humans living in the primeval forest are either escaped slaves from nearby territories or criminals from the Kingdom of Grant. Such people will not easily obey the lord's control.

The population in the North is scarce, and if you want to develop the territory, you must buy a large number of slaves.

To buy slaves on a large scale, you can only go to the capital. The slave market in Black River Fort has at most a few hundred slaves, which is far from enough for the Harland family.

With the seal of identity and the customs clearance documents, Richard successfully came to the capital of Nolan. He was accompanied by the mercenary group under his uncle Soros, who was responsible for the protection mission along the way.

Compared with the deserted Black River Fort, Nolan is a larger city.

Including the suburbs, Nolan City has a population of hundreds of thousands.

From a distance, you can see the towering walls of Norlan. In the center of the city, there is a wizard tower several dozen meters high.

Norlan's city defense is well-equipped and very strong.

There are not only two complete legions in the city, but also a powerful Royal Knights garrison. There has been no war for hundreds of years.

Richard is just a baron's son. When he came to the capital of Norlan, he could not see any big figures from the Kingdom of Grant.

However, he was already a nobleman and received a lot of preferential treatment along the way.

Especially for the hereditary nobles in the north, the kingdom gave a lot of economic subsidies and reduced a lot of taxes. The tax soldiers at the city gate were obviously polite to Richard.
