The Nine Suns of the Otherworld

Ever since Princess Yeyue left Twilight, Ye Ling was in a depressed mood, and now she finally showed a rare smile: "Oh, I skipped the baron directly, have I been awarded the viscount?"

Elizabeth nodded and said: "That's right, your performance is really excellent, but the baron's words are of course unreasonable. Besides, you are not as simple as being made a viscount, you are still a reserve earl!"

Ye Ling asked curiously, "Prepare Earl, what do you say?"

"This means that you will be an earl in a short time!" Elizabeth said with a chuckle: "Your situation is a bit special. Although you are a newcomer, you have successively defeated Yan Lun and Phantom, who are already earls. This shows that you Your strength is already higher than that of many earls, and your performance at the New Blood Party was really perfect. Many nobles have a good impression of you, such as Grand Duke Ximai, who highly praised you in the evaluation, He is a very harsh judge. He usually disdains juniors and is used to finding fault with eggs. Because of this, his recognition of you also makes others think you are extraordinary. However, apart from Grand Duke Ximai, there are also There is a very special review, and they all gave you unusual praise, you must have no idea who that person is!"

Ye Ling hurriedly asked, "Who?"

Elizabeth said word by word: "Hardwick Ghost King!"

Ye Ling was taken aback. He didn't expect that the Ghost King Hardwick would even speak for him.

"You are really a super lucky one!" Elizabeth sighed, "The King of Ghosts is not such a strict person as Grand Duke Ximai. He almost never gives anyone a bad review, but he almost never gives anyone a good review." , To put it bluntly, he actually doesn't care about the review results at all, and he just goes through the motions. At least since I became the Grand Duke, I have never seen him express any opinions. But, when it's your turn During the judging, King Hade opened his mouth in a rare way. At that time, he said a few simple words: "This young man is very good." At that time, many judges, including me, were surprised. You must know , if the King of Ghosts evaluates a person and says 'it's okay', it's already very great, but he thinks you are very good, this is a super high evaluation! I really can't believe that you can pass his Praise, even I feel that my face is very bright!"

Ye Ling understood the reason a little bit, and thought that Hardwick was really broad-minded and overly confident. Instead of asking himself what his purpose was for sneaking into the Grand Duke Zhaohua's mansion, he even helped him along the way.

Elizabeth was very excited: "Originally, Grand Duke Brad has pulled a lot of judges and planned to give you only one viscount at most, but after Hardwick Ghost King said this, he was finally promoted to a reserve earl. Because you have been a citizen of Twilight City for a short time, and your qualifications are too low. Otherwise, you can even be promoted to earl directly, but don't worry, as long as I arrange for you to do a few practical things and make contributions, you will be fine. It needs to be judged again to get the title of earl. And when you become an official earl, you can be regarded as having a bit of identity and face, and you can participate in many activities."

Ye Ling said happily: "Oh, that's really great, but what should I do? How long will it take for me to have enough qualifications and contributions?"

Elizabeth said: "Well, it depends on your performance when governing your fief!"

Ye Ling asked in surprise: "Wait, Grand Duke Elizabeth, you said fiefdom? Do I still have fiefdom?"

Elizabeth smiled and said: "Hehe, that's a matter of course. Every adult nobleman with a certain ability can have his own fief. You must know that our blood-sucking dynasty has more than a dozen counties and hundreds of large and small cities. And the number of vampires is too small, how can they manage it, so every nobleman, including those promoted from the status of a demon, will get at least one fief, and you can collect taxes from the fief, except for the part that is handed over to the vampire dynasty Other than that, the rest is your own. As the owner of the fief, you still enjoy many rights, even life and death, but you also shoulder the obligation to make the fief stable, stable and prosperous. If you mess up your fief It may be taken back by the dynasty!"

In fact, vampires are not just as simple as the guards of vampires. If they can become nobles, their biggest role is to obtain fiefs for their masters, so as to make their masters more powerful, instead of being tied to them. A demon, even climbed to the position of a great nobleman, and obtained the management rights of a large area of ​​fiefdom, which is equivalent to giving the master an extra super alliance, so vampires value the training of demons so much.

Two days later, Elizabeth found Ye Ling again: "Yi Lin (the devil under the great nobleman, even if he has won the title, but the title is lower than himself, he is usually used to addressing him by his first name without adding a suffix to show his kindness), Your fief has also come out today. Because it is a reserve earl, there is one more choice than the viscount who can only designate a certain fief. There are two fiefs to choose from, both of which are small towns, one of which is located in Palmer Camarilla in one county, and Orr in Arizona County in the other.”

Ye Ling asked: "Grand Duke Elizabeth, is there any difference between these two small towns for my future development?"

"Yes, there is a big difference!" Elizabeth explained: "Palmir County is located in the middle of the dynasty, and the environment is very stable. The previous lord, an old viscount who just retired because of his age, managed it very well. You If you go there, take over his previous job, you will be able to get on the right track soon, and you won’t encounter any problems. As for Auer Town..."

Speaking of this, the Grand Duchess changed her tone: "But it's not so easy. You must know that Arizona County is located in the westernmost part of the dynasty, and in Auer Town, it is the place where the frontier and the wilderness meet. Do you know why this fiefdom is vacant? come out?"

Ye Ling had never heard of this small place at all, so he naturally didn't understand the situation there, so he shook his head and said, "I don't know!"

"It was killed!" Elizabeth said in a more solemn tone: "Because of the relationship between the border, Auer Town is very unstable, in addition to the frequent invasion of powerful monsters, there are even some evil spirits with malicious intentions. , the previous lord of Auer Town died at the hands of demons, so it is a dangerous place! However, opportunities always coexist with challenges. If anyone can manage this turbulent town well, it proves that his management ability is also very outstanding. The contribution value obtained will definitely be high, and the time it takes to become an official earl will undoubtedly be shorter. Of course, if you stay in the more stable town of Camarilla, it will be considered useless. Your title can still be upgraded! Think about it, give an answer within three days, and just report which fief you accept!"

One or two years?

Ye Ling frowned. For others, the rise to the title was already fast, but Ye Ling was definitely not satisfied. He couldn't wait to see Weiwei and bring her back to the human world. But I can't stay for that long. Now, whether it's Jiuyang County or the Dark Holy See, they are dying, so one or two years is already a very long time.

So Ye Ling said without even thinking about it: "Grand Duke Elizabeth, don't think about it, if possible, I would like to go to Auer Town!"

"you sure?"

"Definitely and definitely!"

"Hehe, that's all right, let's go to Orr Town!" Elizabeth was not surprised. Ye Ling's choice was in line with his "radical" style in the Gothic jihad. It was surprising that Zhen stayed so peacefully for so long.

The Grand Duchess nodded and said: "Okay, no problem, write an application, I will submit it to the official as soon as possible, if there is no accident, it will be approved within three days, oh, yes, before that , you still need to do another job."

Ye Ling asked, "What job?"

"Recruitment of the Knights!" Elizabeth said: "Although Auer Town also has its own armed force, it is far from enough for that place, and a reliable direct force is indispensable, so you have to Organize your own knights. According to your current title, I can only assign you a team of 50 people at most. Their abilities are still limited. They cannot be too strong demons. You can only recruit helpers from the people Fortunately, I have seen the Gothic Holy War in Twilight, and there are many demons who are impressed by you. Now you are the new idol in the hearts of many civilian demons. There should be some people who are willing to follow you to Auer Town. If you can Get one or a few powerful helpers from them, then your work will not be such a headache. Therefore, before setting off, recruit your own knights! Of course, I will cooperate with you and lay down the Advertisement, I believe there will not be too few people who are willing to follow our reserve earl, ha ha."

[The knights here are different from the knights of the martial arts profession, and refer to the armed forces directly under the nobles]

Are you recruiting?

A subtle smile appeared on the corner of Ye Ling's mouth. When Elizabeth mentioned the Knights, he immediately thought of the most suitable candidate.

I haven't had a chance to contact her for so long. She should be bored in the Twilight Saga, and she should be happy to help herself!
