Chapter 146

The territory Sean named was not small, even comparable to a baron collar. Of course, this is the result of taking the black swan castle and the surrounding land into account. If not counting the black swan castle and the surrounding area, it is just about the size of a jazz collar.

It's just that this territory is nominally owned by yasna, but in fact, yasna herself has not confirmed it, and even the delivery ceremony with the kingdom of dabion has not been completed - it's not her laziness, but a territory that clearly pits people. Naturally, yasna can't want it. The kingdom of dabion didn't seem to mind yasna's attitude. They didn't even have the Council and directly evacuated all the troops. In this way, this territory became a land without owners.

There are three towns in the whole territory. After losing the protection of the Lord, the three towns need to face the aliens that may attack in the wilderness, which has made the three territories complain a lot in the past year. In order to get rid of this ubiquitous shadow, the three towns also came up with some ways, that is, they began to hire mercenaries to help garrison, and because the taxes of the territory no longer need to be paid to the Lord, so they naturally have extra money. After a long time, the three towns have become an lawless area.

As for black swan castle, it was the castle of a viscount in the kingdom of dabion. His original territory just occupied another third of the angloda mountains. It was also because he refused the oath of Athena that triggered the war between the two countries. In the war, the Viscount was the first to die under Athena's army. Later, after annexing this territory, black swan castle became Athena's property.

The reason why black swan castle is famous is that there is an artificial lake in this ancient castle, which does not cover a large area, but it is an underground spring. At that time, a large group of black swans rested here, and they were not afraid of people. Naturally, they added a beautiful scenery to the ancient castle, so people called it black swan castle. However, with the death of the Lord, after a war, there were no black swans in black swan castle.

At the beginning, Asina even came here to live for a short time. She wanted to meet these so-called black swans. Unfortunately, a black swan did not appear. Asina was so depressed that she returned to tonis fortress. Since then, the ancient castle was completely abandoned due to lack of repair and maintenance. Later, the story of haunting came out somehow, and the ancient castle became a Ghost Castle.

At this time, if Sean hadn't mentioned the castle, yasna would almost forget that there was such a castle on the edge of her territory.

"Black swan castle is no problem for you." Yasna said, "but the territory you named has some trouble."

"Trouble?" This time it's Sean's turn not to understand.

Although he knew that the territory belonged to Athena, how could he know that Athena did not have a delivery ceremony with the kingdom of dabion for some reason? So at this time, Sean couldn't react to hearing yasna say trouble, but looked at yasna with a puzzled face.

"Although this territory belongs to me in name, in fact, I did not get the contract from the kingdom of dabion." Yasina was not vague, and simply explained the current situation to Sean, "although the kingdom of dabion retains the contract documents, in fact, they do not protect this territory any more, so this territory has now become an autonomous territory... An autonomous territory living between the kingdom of dabion and the Principality of lane."

Sean frowned slightly. The subtext of yasna's remark was very clear, that is, he wanted the territory, but the legitimate right of the territory was not on her, and the security of the territory was probably very bad. It is even possible that because of the laissez faire and autonomy of the past year, even if there are lords in the past, they will not buy it. After all, once freedom is used to, it is difficult to accept any constraints.

"It doesn't matter. If I can't control this territory well, I'm not qualified to say that to you." Sean smiled as if he didn't care much.

"Since you think there's no problem, I'll arrange the relevant procedures." Seeing Sean's insistence, Athena nodded and said no more, "by the way, I don't know your last name?"

"Connery." Sean thought a little and then said, "Sean Connery."

"OK, I see." Athena nodded.

Then Sean and Athena left. Anyway, things have been done, so it's not necessary to stay here. But this time, it was not Elizabeth who sent Sean out of the house, but a thunder front soldier who led the way, which made Sean relax. After all, Sean felt a little uncomfortable following Elizabeth.

When it was confirmed that Sean had left, Elizabeth suddenly closed the door, opened a chair and sat down, looking at Athena curiously.

"What's the matter?" Athena saw Elizabeth sitting here, but she didn't speak. She couldn't help asking curiously.

In her impression, Elizabeth rarely showed such behavior.

"You want to give him a territory?" Elizabeth's voice was somewhat surprised. "Judging from the territory he divided, it should be as big as a baron's collar. But although you are a marquis, you don't have the power to be a baron, and now the Principality of Ryan has some big opinions on you, and the aristocratic circle is also unprecedented unity with each other. It's impossible for you to insert another aristocrat. "

"I just gave him a jazz title." Yasina said faintly.

On the miracle continent, the canonization of titles can not be solved by a word of mouth.

The Lords of any territory, no matter how big their titles are, can only confer the titles of knight and knight. Moreover, their territories are divided from their own fiefdoms. They are not hereditary, but only lifelong. Civilians call these knights and Knights' fiefdoms knight and jazz - usually small in area, For example, half of the knight's collar has only a small manor, while the knight's collar is better, there may be a village. All the income of these territories naturally belongs to the Knights and Knights of the territory, which can be regarded as a disguised wage payment.

To confer titles above Baron, only the real leaders of a country can have this qualification, such as Archduke, king, emperor and so on. However, the Archduke is only qualified to confer Marquis and below. Only the king and emperor of the kingdom are qualified to confer Duke. The only thing stronger than the kingdom is that the empire is qualified to have vassal states, but the kingdom does not - the reason for this is the difference in national strength. If the two countries are so similar in national strength, How can you be willing to become a vassal?

The Empire has never been put forward only by superficial strength, but by fighting. If you can beat an empire into a kingdom, you can naturally call yourself an empire.

At its worst, it needs to be recognized by half of the empires before it can become a new empire.

On the miracle continent, there are only seven empires since ancient times. In addition to the five old empires of qainas, Maggie, St. Joels, the Millennium covenant and Amelia, the position of the other two "Empires" is not very stable. Every few decades, there are self-conscious and powerful kingdoms calling on the door. Therefore, the home rotation is also fast. On the contrary, there has never been a road of "recognition through half of the empires". After all, the interests and focus directions of each other in the seven empires are also complex. It is likely that you have offended the other two when you get the nod of one empire.

It's not easy for the four empires to nod and recognize your new empire.

Therefore, yasna's sentence "I just give him a jazz title" is not a self humble word, but she can only do this step. If she wants to go further, she can recommend, but in the end, it depends on the meaning of the principality's royal family, rather than the decision made by her alone. That's why Athena told Sean that now the Principality of Ryan will not allow new nobles to join the circle at will.

Sean will know these things sooner or later, so Athena might as well talk to Sean first to avoid any misunderstanding in the future. However, the heroism and courage shown by Sean made Athena look at her differently.

"But I'm curious. What did you talk to him about? How could you suddenly make him a jazz?" Elizabeth suddenly said with a narrow smile, "is he the secret lover you have always collected Hey, I said, "why don't you like that guy Dutch? He's the only young man closest to you in the Principality of lane."

"It used to be, but it won't be." Athena shook her head and denied Elizabeth's words.

Dutch zov, Lord of the danawi, a powerful count.

He has ambition and strength. Under his governance, danawi is indeed developing at an amazing speed. I'm afraid before long, the Lord can also pull out a powerful private army. Even if he can't become a Marquis of strength at that time, the title of an earl of strength can't run away.

In the whole principality of lane, Dutch is known as the closest person to Athena, but it is absolutely not a compliment to let a man be second to Athena. Therefore, it is no wonder that Dutch will try so hard to prove himself. Unfortunately, the more he is so eager to show himself, the more people will regard him as yasna's second.

"I can't see. You're quite confident in this handsome man." Elizabeth and Athena are already very familiar, so it's no harm to make a little joke.

But for Elizabeth's ridicule, Athena did not answer, but slid the note on the table to Elizabeth: "he wrote it."

Elizabeth took it up with some curiosity, and her eyes changed suddenly: "this guy, what a big tone Do you believe it? "

"Letter." Yasina nodded, "but I really haven't heard of any great nobles of the qainas empire with the surname of Connery. Go and find out if it's the surname of those reclusive ancient rich families in the qainas empire. Those guys like to do this mysterious thing best."

After reading the contents of the note, Elizabeth also restrained her smile, nodded to show understanding, and then left the reception hall and began to investigate.

And Athena, of course, has a lot to deal with, and the top priority is to prove Sean's pioneering knighthood and jazz（ To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendation and monthly ticket at qidian.com. Your support is my greatest motivation.)
