Quadruple split.

Chapter 539 Violet and Fernan

The Fernand family, one of the founding fathers of the Violet Empire, one of the eight highest nobles; the main family members are dwarfs, the territory is located in the northern part of the empire, and the family emblem is the black eagle heraldry shield; in the first few hundred years of the founding of the country, Known as the Iron Gate of the Empire.

Of course, that was a long time ago. The current Violet people, including other families with the same status as the Fernan family, have already forgotten this long-standing title. In their eyes, the Fernan family is just a Regardless of the economics and strength of the honorary nobles, although each heir will become one of the most powerful grand dukes in the empire, they have no corresponding influence at all, and having no influence naturally means No right to speak.

Since more than twenty generations ago, the 'Archduke Fernand' has been a decoration of the highest meeting of the Violet Empire. No one cares about their opinions, no one is willing to ask for their ideas, and they are happy to relax.

Of course, there are not many people as worthless as Mercury Fernand. In history, most Grand Dukes of Fernand are still very aristocratic. They seem to have nails instead of cushions under their buttocks during meetings. Core is alone.

However, after excluding factors such as temperament, speech, and psychological quality, the performances of these Archduke Fernands are actually not too different. Open struggles, secret fights, games, containment, cooperation, and factions have nothing to do with them. Marshall may be the one who did these things. , There is Hussein, there is Dantes, there is Baroca, there is Crystal Wolf, there is Violet, there is Simon, but there is absolutely no Fernand.

This family just managed their own territory in an ordinary way, reluctantly fulfilled their noble duties, and enjoyed the corresponding power and interests contentedly, without showing any ambition.

In fact, the Fernan family does not have the slightest ambition. For them, it is good to be able to eat and wear, and it is very satisfying. If they can be fine on this basis, Children who study engineering, or have spare money to open a chamber of commerce to earn some gold coins, that is simply a fairy day.

And the other lords didn't bother to play the Fernan family's idea, even if the cooperation was limited to some ordinary business, after all, the northern border where they were located really didn't have much money to make, and even the Fire Claw leader in the southern border was better than Fernan. Get rich.

However, this is only relatively speaking. For ordinary people, Fernando is still a pretty good place. After all, it is a part of the great Violet Empire. The area is not so big, the commerce is not so developed, and there are not so many specialties. It is definitely no problem to live.

At least for now...

And in the past nearly a thousand years ago, living in Fernando was quite a problem.

Different from now, Fernan Territory, which was located in the northern border of the empire at that time, had to face too many threats.

The short-lived dark empire, various cultists sprung up like mushrooms after rain, vicious bandits, lawless dark mercenaries, and dark jungles where monsters roam everywhere. Fernan, located between the northeast and southeast continents, has many aggressive, A good neighbor who kills but doesn't bury.

At that time, the Violet Empire, which had just been reborn from the ruins of the previous dynasty, was far from being as powerful as it is now. Those who finally got rid of the gloom and saw the dawn urgently needed a long period of recuperation.

Contrary to the turbulent present, the Violet Empire, which has not been established for a short time, is very united. Although it is still divided into nine territories, those surnames who have established a strong comrade-in-arms friendship are like a family. Helping each other is the norm, far from what it is now Such intrigue.

In fact, those winding rules came later. As for Violet at the beginning of the founding of the People's Republic of China, they were not so leisurely and carefree at all. They just wanted to gain a firm foothold at that time.

As the helm, the Violet family tried their best to deal with all major forces, lobbying the Holy Church to unite in the ruins of Violet to establish a church, which is widely popular among believers, and has carried out in-depth cooperation with the equally weak Principality of Sri Lanka, and also to appease the hearts of the people. Proclaiming to the people many bright futures that they themselves did not believe, the first emperor even set a record of not closing his eyes for seven consecutive days and nights because of those trivial things.

The wealthiest Hussein family has almost wiped out all their wealth. In addition to helping the royal family manage various relationships, the initial construction funds of many territories were paid by the Hussein family. The current Grand Duke Hussein provides all the lords He took out a huge interest-free loan, and the column for the repayment date was left blank. In his original words: when you have money to repay, fill in the date yourself.

The Marshall family, which has accumulated a large amount of food, went crazy to buy people's hearts for the empire. In simple terms, they extended a helping hand to those war refugees in the name of the Violet Empire. Not only did they save hundreds of thousands of people from dying, they even worked hard to make a living for them. Using means, leading the people to reclaim wasteland, open shops and workshops, etc., desperately established a set of the most basic self-sufficiency system for the empire.

Not just these few... all the 'big nobles' at that time were like this...

The brave Baroka family turned into an arsenal, training those ordinary people who enlisted in the army day and night, and sending them to various families that needed to be armed. Soldiers will squat...

The slick Dantis family brought in the Gold Coin Chamber of Commerce and the Steam Consortium for Violet, formed a large consortium, and joined hands with the Hussein family to sell anything that can be exchanged for money, and then exchanged the money for the goods saved by the empire ...

The Simon family is like the spy department of the entire empire. They not only have to clean up the remnants of the brutal previous dynasty, but also suppress all kinds of riots instigated by people with ulterior motives, and they also have to guard against the infiltration of other forces.

The Crystal Wolf family is responsible for logistics, mining, and education. These people with no relevant experience are almost doing it while learning. The patriarch, who is generally gentle and elegant, eats and lives with miners and blacksmiths every day. Later, he turned into a muscular man. The patriarch's illiterate father mixed with those scholars to study how to teach people, and finally became the founder and first-generation dean of the highest institution of Violet, which the contemporary Dukes Simon and Marshall once studied. It's just that he can't dig mines.

The Fireclaw clan, which is more powerful than the Baroka family, is guarding the westernmost point, always on guard against the threat in the dark forest and the threat behind the dense forest. At the same time, they can also deter the Principality of Scarland and the It is ironic to say that the task of escorting the volunteers of the United Holy Church was that when the Fireclaw warriors were busy with these miscellaneous things, it was the Marshall family who were fully responsible for building their territory for them.

The first Grand Duke of Crystal Wolf Ellen Wolf Krystal once said with a smile: In the entire Violet Empire, if you want to find a pair of friends who are better than Godric Bracen and Phineas Dantes, then the candidate will only be Kaggs Fireclaw and Newt Marshall, when they sing together, people always want to take something from their hands and smash it.

As for the Fernand family, their task is very simple, similar to Fire Claw, but more difficult than the latter, that is to defend the northern border of the Violet Empire and keep those piles of threats out of the country.

This matter has been decided since the beginning of the division of the territory. From the very beginning, it was an established matter for Fernand to guard the northern part where the situation is most dangerous. The reason is very simple, that is, only members of the Fernan family can withstand the threat that will last for an unknown number of years.

No one else can handle it, whether it's Fire Claw or Baroka, they can't handle it all!

It's not because of the strength or the like, but in terms of defense, if the Fernan family takes second place, no one in Violet dares to take the first place.

In fact, without Fernand's gang, the entire empire might not have been established in the first place. At least half of the current nine major families would have been killed by the counterattack before the fall of the previous dynasty.

Therefore, Fernan, the first Grand Duke Fernand with the bronze pole, gladly took his family and army to the northern border, and turned it into an impenetrable iron gate to guard there for sixty years.

The second Grand Duke Fernand guarded for [-] years, the third Grand Duke Fernand guarded it for [-] years, the fourth Grand Duke Fernand guarded it for [-] years, and the fifth generation Grand Duke Fernand guarded it for [-] years...

Then, under the impetus of various forces, a group of people with all kinds of things established the capital of freedom hundreds of miles away from the northern border of Violet.

Many years later, with the continuous presence of speculators, desperadoes, wanted criminals, major holy religions, major cults, desperate people, bohemians, and the second disease, Liberty City quickly became a complicated place. , a behemoth that is not under any control, and has come up with a set of tacit rules that only exist on the table, and people are happy to abide by this set of rules.

This is a very interesting thing, because various accidents and accidents occur every day in many places that seem to be in order, but the city of freedom, the most chaotic place in the whole continent, where countless criminals gather, even eats the king's meal None of the above, at least not on the table.

The reason is not complicated. To put it simply, if you eat a king’s meal in the City of Light, at best you will receive an education. If the boss is a devout believer, maybe you can make up for it with a few confessions. For the price of a meal, at most it will let you wash the dishes for two months.

But in the capital of liberty, if you eat a king's meal today, it may be made into a 'meal' and served out tomorrow...

Of course, these are all 'on the table' rules, as for those 'off the table' things, after all, someone hasn't fled to the capital of freedom, we'll talk about it later~
All in all, with the establishment and growth of the Freedom City and the rules it made, the bad situation in the Violet North was quickly alleviated, and those low-end criminals were killed by a lot of evil spirits in just a few years Those who were clean and survived by luck either ran away or became part of the Freedom City. As for the dark jungle where a large number of monsters were entrenched and made life difficult for the people in the surrounding area, a person who was resident in the Freedom City and was good at dragons The dwarf mages who were restless, who had a bit of trouble with the red dragon clan, and who did not want to disclose their names were all burned.

And before the Liberty City cleaned up the weeds that were an eyesore to them, and helped the Violet Empire solve a lot of serious problems, the Fernan family guarded the northern border for [-] years, until the tenth generation Fei When Grand Duke Ernan was over half a hundred years old, the northern border of the empire finally stabilized.

In the previous nearly five hundred years of history, the Fernan family did not put any existence that could pose a threat to the Violet Empire into the country. They were like an iron gate that would never collapse, guarding the country under their feet and behind them. , to isolate the threat ahead.

In Fernan's family motto, the word 'guard' appears most frequently, and what they want to protect is this empire, even if it is no longer pure, even if it is aging and decaying, even if it is gradually Become obnoxious, even if it has long since strayed from the track, hold on to it.

This is the lifelong mission of the surname Fernan, and it is also the bounden duty of every generation of Grand Duke Fernan.

They don't care about those intrigues, and they are even more unwilling to participate in them, but if the empire is threatened or is about to fall apart, then Fernan will stand up and turn into an iron gate of the empire, continuing to guard the land of Violet.

"And after figuring this out..."

Mo Tan, who wandered over from behind at some point, looked at the 'battlefield' with a smile on his face, and watched the one-man show of Mercury Core Fernand, and laughed leisurely: "As long as the death of Clever Bressen will A series of bad results triggered tell this Mediterranean that he will naturally not ignore it at the risk of the collapse of the entire empire, so he can no longer continue pretending to be a grandson."

"And everyone else will get a false signal."

The girl standing behind Mo Tan yawned, and said lazily, "'Fernan is on the side of Schubressen', although this is not the case, but since Mercury Core has been involved in this situation , it is completely impossible to stay out of the matter, heh, he must be very suffocated now~"

"There must be a little bit of unhappiness, but it's not necessary to hold your breath."

Mo Tan raised the corners of his mouth, looked at the Mediterranean dwarf who had already started throwing the seventh shield, and said, "Since Xiu has already let him know the short-term consequences of Clever's death, the bald man will definitely be able to guess it." Who is the final victor? I'll push it later. Even if he doesn't know the news of the death of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, it won't prevent him from making the right choice in the future. As for other people's opinions... oh, I care about other people's opinions Can someone pretend to be a grandson for such a long time?"

"Hey, I'm not bald..."

"Just those few hairs, it's almost the same."

"Well, that's true."

"right."
