Chapter 241 240. The Chain of Contempt in the Aristocratic Circle

Mo Cheng didn't know much about doing business. Although Helena's conditions were very favorable, he still didn't make a decision on the spot. Instead, he used the excuse that he needed a few days to think about it.

After all, the product Shimmer Ointment has begun to attract people's attention because of him. I believe that soon someone who knows the product will see the profit contained in this product.

Mo Cheng doesn't care much about money, because his becoming stronger has nothing to do with money, transactions, or currency circulation. He can only find dungeons to spawn monsters, or kill strong enough people.

This is his path to improvement.

Thinking of this, Mo Cheng looked at his system panel. There was a progress bar running slowly on it.

After killing Ichiqil, Mo Cheng's system panel looked like this as if it had been updated.

All functions of the system can be used, the only thing missing should be the reward for killing Ichiqil. Mo Cheng feels that this reward may need to be updated after the system is updated before he can see what it is.

"But the system will actually be upgraded..."

Mo Cheng touched his chin. He was somewhat interested in what new functions the system would have after the upgrade. "I hope there will be a function to obtain certain skills at a fixed point. It depends on luck at random."

Skills need to be matched to be powerful enough to burst out with 1+1>2 power, but if you want to accurately find a specific skill among the vast skill pool, the luck factor required is too high.

And Mo Cheng's luck...

Ever since he defeated the Lich Dom with five consecutive attacks of [Time Lock] last time, his luck has not been very good.

…

"You mean Baroness Thelanis?"

After Mo Cheng finished treating the injured of the law enforcement team as usual, he found a time to ask Margaret about Baron Thelanis.

Obviously, compared to himself, a glorious priest who has basically no understanding of the nobility, Margaret, as the head of the law enforcement group, definitely knows more than him, not to mention that the Lauren Frost family itself has a high status among the nobility. A very tall family.

"Recently, the baroness came to me and planned to mass-produce and sell shimmer ointment by taking a shareholding. Therefore, I wanted to find out the reputation of the baroness. After all, I don't know much about business matters. It’s not good to be tricked.”

Margaret looked at Mo Cheng doubtfully, "Are you short of money recently?"

According to Margaret's understanding of Mo Cheng, his consumption has always been at a relatively low level. To put it bluntly, the most expensive thing on Mo Cheng's body may be the set of [Repair Technique] enchanted on his body and it looks like Compared with ordinary radiant priests, they wear more gorgeous clerical uniforms.

As for the props and equipment on him, it can be said that there are none at all.

With Mo Cheng's powerful strength, such a level of spending can be assigned to the "poor" level even among ordinary people, let alone nobles.

"There is something I really want, and Baron Thranis happens to have it."

During the conversation, Baroness Thranis gave Mo Cheng a rough plan to expand the production line, and the candidate areas for the establishment of the production line attracted Mo Cheng's attention.

In the hands of Baroness Thelanis, the land that she wanted to use as a production line factory happened to be the area where Mo Cheng had always wanted the castle.

The ownership of this land and the castle happened to be in the hands of Baroness Thelanis.

Because of the castle, Mo Cheng chose to talk to the other party, and at the same time asked Margaret about the other party's background and reputation.

Everyone wants a good business partner, and Mo Cheng is no exception.

"Theranis' words..." Margaret lowered her head and thought about it, and then slowly told Mo Cheng the information she knew.

The Thrannis family was formerly a family business alliance. Under the influence of Queen Aundair's new policy, it obtained the title of [Baron].

Baroness Helena Thelanis controls the business activities of the Thelanis family in Aundair, Snagu, and Orion Wilderness. After the knighthood, the headquarters moved to Fairhaven, the capital of Aundair.

It is worth mentioning that because Queen Aundair conferred knighthoods on businessmen, artists, civilians and other people with outstanding achievements, and most of them were barons, in the eyes of Aundair's aristocratic circle, the title of baron has been lost. The glory of the past.

Although barons are officially nobles, among those families with ancient heritage, only [Viscount] can be considered to have entered the circle of nobles.

baron? That was just a joke made by Her Majesty the Queen because of her confusion, unless the title of this title was preceded by "hereditary".

The same title has different gold content. The prefix with the word "hereditary" and the prefix without the word "hereditary" have very different meanings.

Non-hereditary nobles are usually only owned by the holder of the title. Once the holder of the title dies, the title will be taken back.

But usually the royal family will not be so ruthless, and instead use the title reduction system to ease the reduction of titles. That is, the direct descendants of the title holder will inherit the title of the lower level until they lose the title, unless their heirs are in the title holder. In the process, he was promoted, otherwise the title would eventually be taken back by the royal family.

As for hereditary nobles, their titles can be passed down from generation to generation. Unless the country is destroyed, the descendants are extinct, or a serious crime is committed and the title is reduced. Otherwise, this title will be passed down forever, which is also the origin of the inheritance of the millennium family.

At the same time, for nobles, whether they own a territory, the size of the territory, and the location of the territory are also the key points to judge the gold content of the title. For some "virtuous nobles" who only have titles but no territory, the royal family only pays them a monthly salary or living expenses.

Just like Margaret's Lauren Frost family, whose territory is Queenie County across several large cities in the north of Aundair. The Northern Wolf Legion guards the defense line. Even though the title is only a [Marquis], there is no Which marquess or noble of higher title expressed contempt for the Laurence Frost family.

Because of the gold content of the name [Lauren Frost], she is already at the top of the Aundair noble pyramid.

[Theranis] is a newly promoted nobleman who was promoted due to Queen Aundair's new policy. He has no territory and no real power. He is a [virtual nobleman]. In the eyes of some ancient nobles, they are all low-class people with mud-legged trousers that have not even been washed off.

These [virtuous nobles] are at the bottom of the contempt chain in Aundair's aristocratic circle.

"The main business of the Thelanis family is fleet shipping, but as far as I know, last month the Thelanis family's fleet suffered a disaster, and two-thirds of it sank at sea."

"This is already a heavy blow to the Thelanis family, and it seems that there were other nobles investing in that trip. The Thelanis family should have been overwhelmed by the huge amount of compensation recently. They want When looking for cooperation with you, I suggest you be cautious."
