Chapter 717

"Really no way?"

The afternoon sun shines through the grid window into the living room in the church backyard. The colorful light spots are printed on the green brick floor, adding a touch of bright color to this simple and narrow living room, setting off a clean, simple and bright atmosphere.

Victor sat at an oak table and gently turned the pottery cup in his hand. The water collided back and forth in the cup to form a thin vortex. He observed the phenomenon in the pottery cup with great interest. There was a faint smile on his handsome face, like a beautiful boy with mild temperament and full of curiosity.

The gentle and curious evaluation is in line with Victor's characteristics. The empty water element and blood give him extraordinary beauty and patient and gentle personality, so he is deeply favored by high-level female Knights; If he had no strong curiosity, he would not have become a university respected by the silver and white tower.

The fifth level priest Dane sat at the other end of the table and looked at the careless victor. A cold sweat was seeping from the back of his neck.

He has known Victor for some years and is close friends with each other. However, as a direct descendant of Pope Clement, he received a secret letter from the Privy Council and deeply understood the other side of victor.

Gentle and graceful, his highness Randall killed the ogre inspector like a chicken; His battle with the Centaur Mahathir Khan lasted more than 200 kilometers, like a hurricane, tearing the earth and leaving no grass where he went.

Of course, the clergy need not fear the power of his highness Randall, but the power and reputation of the Stormrage sword saint can not be ignored. Dane can be promoted to a high-level priest before he is 50. Thanks to the help of his highness Randall, he just needs to write a letter to the Pope to express his dissatisfaction with Dane. Many priests will be very happy to take over Dane's position in Randall parish.

Dane regretted that the way he had just spoken was not tactful enough. However, there was nothing he could do about the little request put forward by the angry wind sword saint. He only explained with a bitter smile: "Your Highness, you know that the highest title that ordinary people can be awarded is Lord. Lord Nelson is famous and has outstanding military achievements, but he has no noble blood after all..."

Victor put down the pottery cup, interrupted Dane and said, "if it's not so troublesome, I won't find you. I'm going to donate 40000 gold sol to Randall parish. What do you think?"

Of course, Dane knew that the count wanted to forge a blood document of Lord Nelson. He pondered for a moment and sighed: "Victor, I won't hide it from you. This kind of thing is very simple. As long as a dead Knight Ranger is placed in the title of Lord Nelson's blood elder, Lord Nelson's noble blood documents can be done immediately. However, Lord Nelson's reputation is not only outside, but also a trusted vassal of the Stormrage saint. Combined with these two identities, he has been seen by many big people. For example, pastor tamore must be interested in the angry wind sword saint. Such a small thing can become a big thing, which will damage the reputation and dignity of the Randall family... "

The priest paused and said, "if you insist, I'll do it for you. But my advice is that the big trouble lies behind."

Celebrities will be magnified many times whether they do bad things or good things. The louder their reputation, the stronger the amplification effect.

Dane said frankly that he could help, but his operation could not hide from the high level of the church. Once pastor tamore learned that Lord Nelson forged his blood, he would inevitably have to use his hands and feet to ask the angry wind sword saint for a favor.

If you need a little character who needs to forge blood, his highness Randall doesn't have to ask Dane for help in person. You can easily get the documents in a remote chapel. Victor's attempt to forge a blood document for Nelson is bound to startle the Pope, and there are more than one. Why should fledes ignore tamore's intervention? The matter came to the end Unfortunately, it must be Reverend Dane, and perhaps Pope Clement.

It's not cost-effective to disturb three shepherds for a baron.

Victor didn't want to compensate Reverend Dane. After all, he was his favorite agent.

"Is there any other way?"

Dane finally breathed a sigh of relief. He was glad that his decisive statement had won the recognition of the angry wind sword saint. He thought about it and said: "Every bishop of the diocese has Lord Nelson's files. I'm afraid he can't be made a baron... His other three ladies are noble women. They and Lord Nelson's children can be made a baron. This is equivalent to Lord Nelson holding a baron."

Victor was silent for a moment and asked, "can't Nelson and Mrs. Linda's twin sons?"

Dane laughed twice and sighed: "Lord Nelson is the supervisor of Randall family... All parishes have her records. Arranging an aristocratic relative for her is not much different from the Lord himself. As long as the church identifies their blood..."

Victor finally gave up, stood up, nodded and said, "well, let's put this matter aside... Anyway, I thank you. I'll leave first."

"Your Highness, you are very kind." With a modest smile on his face, Dane stood up and took Victor to the carriage waiting outside the church.

The carriage drove to the roadside of Pinghu castle. Victor was too lazy to go down and ordered the bodyguard to find Nelson in the castle.

"Your Excellency, you are looking for me." Nelson got into the car and sat down opposite victor.

He was wearing a golden Centaur leather armor, holding a helmet in his hand, with thick short hair, firm facial features, symmetrical and solid muscles, and his whole body was full of a sense of strength like substance.

"Why, are you going to war?" Victor glanced at him and said angrily, "spend more time with your ladies and give birth to several heirs with noble blood."

Nelson was full of fog. He didn't know why his master was angry. He touched his head and said truthfully: "I also wonder that since Linda gave birth to two sons to me, the stomachs of the four women in the family have been quiet... I worked very hard. They also complained about me every day and made some messy drugs for me to drink."

He looked confused and depressed, but he didn't mean to worry.

The power of the mind has begun to interfere with the inner dive... Victor looked at Nelson and thought to himself.

It is no accident that Nelson reached his current level of life. In fact, since he had a pair of twin sons, he had no intention to have children. Although he had not yet built a talent tree, his subconscious was all focused on improving his strength, and his fertility was automatically locked, but he didn't know it.

The pure and huge power of the soul and the desire from the heart directly affect Nelson's life potential. Not to mention the medicine Linda and them found, even old Miller's magic can't help him. Victor, of course, has no good way. Only when Nelson has mastered the touch of the heart, will he settle down and the difficult problem of childbirth should be solved.

Victor shook his head and sighed, and then said, "I wanted to canonize you as my vassal Baron, but you don't have noble blood, and Joanna and they didn't give you children. It seems that they can't do it..."

"What does it matter, my lord? The title of Lord is very good." Nelson suddenly realized it and said with a smile. His eyes were as firm as a rock, there was no emotional fluctuation, and his words were obviously sincere.

Victor smiled, nodded and said, "you should be rewarded if you follow me in the war. Well, I will make your youngest son Lord and grant 30 square kilometers of land. As for your eldest son, he is the first heir to the Lord, so there is no need to award a reward. In the future, their brothers will make meritorious deeds, and I will grant them more land."

Nelson was stunned. He thought it was a good thing, but he was not so happy. He habitually said, "I listen to the arrangement of adults."

Victor gave him land, not territory. There is an essential difference between the two. The territory is connected to one side. You can build castles, exercise dominion and recruit vassals; The granting of land is to give a farm in the East and a terrace in the West. In name, it is still a fief, but there is no integration space. The administrative power can only be entrusted to the Lord, who sends tenants to engage in production activities, which is equivalent to a big landlord with the Title of Lord.

From now on, it will become more and more common to seal the nobility in vain and grant land in fact, and gradually form the aristocratic landlord class.

Aristocratic landlords have their own advantages over Lords. For example, the lord lord can only canonize a territory of 300 square kilometers at most, but there is no upper limit on the land granted by the nobility. As long as the virtual nobility has the ability to make achievements, he can obtain more land than the title limit.

Of course, it is impossible for the Lord to grant all the land to the virtual nobility. He can also repay his meritorious deeds by promoting the title of nobility.

In the current system, the Lord is not a real aristocrat, while the Baron and Viscount belong to the lower aristocracy, and the count and above are the upper aristocracy.

Victor is the Lord of the Earl fiefdom and has the right to canonize a lord, a baron and a viscount. The promotion of Nelson's title is to let him enter the power core of the Randall family without being bullied by Nicole.

Nelson is upright and loyal to victor. As the top combat force of Randall family, Victor needs him to stay in Randall's repressive situation, and it is impossible to take him with him.

Because of Nelson's one track mind, he and Nicole work together for a long time, there will be conflict. This situation is not transferred by my will, but depends on the popular will.

Nicole has the right to be a Lord. She has a big stick and honey. Everyone wants to flatter her. Nelson has nothing, but he is still a dead brain. If his business is not going well, he will run to find someone to quarrel. Once or twice, Nicole can bear him. It's inevitable to return color when she has more times.

Nelson follows victor and is only one step away from the golden stage. Not to mention that Nicole is only a senior Knight now. Even if she is promoted to the golden stage, she won't want to subdue the northern bear.

Victor didn't want to see his lover conflict with his number one confidant, but the most important reason was the War Bear mercenaries in charge of the smuggling caravan. Now that Nelson has come back, they have a backbone again, but if Nelson can't be relied on, most of them will go to Mrs. Nicole for the sake of their children's future.

"You've been back for half a month. Have you heard anything?" Victor summoned an air flow, blew the bell outside the carriage, and asked the coachman to pull the horse and drive out of the city.

"I haven't heard anything." Nelson said blankly.

Linda must have told him a lot of things. It's true that this guy didn't think about anything... Victor secretly complained that it's useless to circle with Nelson and said directly: "You are only in charge of the first Legion. Don't bother about other legions. Hammer, Fermi... All the War Bear mercenaries who manage the smuggling caravan are included in the sequence of the first Legion. I will transfer their land to you and Linda's young son. From now on, the War Bear mercenary family will be regarded as the vassal of the little Lord."

"Yes, sir." Nelson clenched his fist against his chest and said in a deep voice.

Victor looked out of the window and watched the shade trees retreating. After a while, he said: "This time in the Ayre religion country, Pope Clement and I talked about the problem of wild people... There are wizards among the wild people in the stronghold. The Lord and the magistrate will jointly kill the whole stronghold without leaving any survivors. If the stronghold has no contact with the territory, the Lord can also send troops to destroy it. The Church never asks."

"This is because there are wizards among the wild people. Even if he dies of old age, the evil faith he raised can continue to poison the whole stronghold." Victor paused and continued: "no little wizard has been found in the stronghold we control, but the Pope reminded me that the stronghold must keep in touch with the nearby Lord, or the Lord has the right to send troops to destroy it. In order to avoid conflict, our smuggling caravan should continue to distribute profits to remote lords, although the gold regiment is ready to give up those remote and difficult smuggling routes."

Nelson stared at Victor and asked, "Sir, what do you mean... We don't want all our mountain strongholds and give them back to the hillbilly lords?"

"Why not?" Victor smiled silently and said: "The hillbilly Lord deals with the stronghold only by exploiting some mountain goods and making little profit. It is our smuggling caravan that smuggles the mountain goods to the black market in big cities and towns, and then brings gold coins, potions, refined gold and other wealth to the small Lords. They know that someone smuggles goods through the stronghold and keep pretending to be deaf and dumb, and let the vassal village head deal with us. That's also because of him We don't have the ability to find out our details, and we don't want to cut off our wealth. However, if those remote businesses don't make much money in the future, they may turn over. "

Nelson looked fierce and said in a deep voice, "then give them some strength!"

"Do you think they will attack the stronghold?" Victor sneered, shook his head and said, "most of those remote families are poor lords and barons. They don't even bother to ask the Lord they serve. Why should they attack my stronghold? Informing the Lord is a counter measure they can take. Unfortunately, the golden regiment will soon change from darkness to light. I don't care about being known about the golden regiment."

Victor turned and said: "The stronghold took me a lot of effort. I can't give it up like this. I have to think of another way to make money... Since the resources of the mountain forest are limited, let the hillbilly lords join in and use their land and manpower to develop money. Next, the smuggling caravan should try to get in touch with those small lords directly to urge them to grow cash crops or builders according to my requirements Workshop to produce the goods I specified. I still need some time to consider the specific strategy, but there are already candidates for implementation, namely your adopted son and daughter, Paul and Meilin. "

Nelson nodded and said in a low voice, "Linda hasn't seen them for a long time and asks me about them."

Victor looked at him and said leisurely, "next January, you and I will go to the red frost manor for a while and you will see them."

Nelson's eyes lit up and asked happily, "Sir, have you prepared a set of spiritual blood secrets for me?"

Victor nodded with a smile and said, "I'm still trying to figure out. I'm going to call some more useful helpers... Don't worry, I'll always formulate a set of secret methods for you and build a talent tree in line with your heart."

"Is there anything I can do?" Asked Nelson eagerly.

"Let's talk about it then." Victor waved his hand and then told him, "you go back and summon the hammers to convey my order. All mountain people strongholds begin to survey the nearby mineral veins. I will send craftsmen and animal trainers to transport a batch of antelope camels to prepare for mining."

"As you wish, my lord... Where are we going now?"

Victor looked at the scenery outside the window, outlined a funny smile on his mouth and said, "settle accounts with dwarf green. I heard that he killed the barbarian captive sent by his highness Andre... I hope his research results can satisfy me."
