Chapter 140 Chapter 140 The New Noble
In the back kitchen, listening to the sound of soldiers' leather boots hitting the floor, a woman in a white apron stared blankly at the teapot in front of her.

She grabbed a teacup with trembling hands, and the tea in it was shaking constantly because of the shaking, as if the waves in the sea were rolling.

In the end, amidst the crying voices of the soldiers outside the door, she swallowed the tea in the cup down her throat in one gulp, and the relieved calm immediately returned to her face.

"Open the door!" The soldiers outside ordered loudly, and then there was a sharp gunshot.Bullets pierced the door, sending sawdust flying through the air.

"Boom!" Finally, the thin wooden door was knocked open, and several guards with revolvers rushed into the room, but they only saw the overturned teapot and the woman's body lying beside the teapot.

"She's dead..." A soldier knelt on one knee, carefully looked at the woman's slightly open-eyed face, and turned to his companions.

"..." The North Ridge officer who was standing there held his pistol angrily, turned around half a circle, and finally couldn't hold back, and put his foot on the cabinet next to him.

"Crash!" The side panel of the cabinet was kicked and shattered, and the teacups and saucers inside were shattered, scattered on the ground, and rolled everywhere.

"Team, Captain!" A soldier hurried over, his eyes full of despair.He rushed all the way to the captain, whimpered and shook his head.

"My lord... is it okay?" the captain asked with a sob.

The soldier who rushed over was crying, and wiped the unstoppable tears on his face while talking: "The doctor just arrived, he, he said..."

The captain asked anxiously: "Say what?"

The soldier put his arms in front of his face and shook his head desperately.

……

Tang Mo stared blankly at the wheat waves in the field in the distance, and an officer of the security force standing not far from him handed the list in his hand to the officer of the Wright Kingdom in front of him: "Here are 3500 K1 quick guns. , take a look."

As he spoke, he pointed to the carriage parked beside him.Soldiers wearing the bright yellow military uniforms of the Wright Kingdom were counting the wooden boxes full of needle guns in the carriage.

After several officers nodded, the officer of the Wright Kingdom showed a smile on his face, nodded slightly to his fellow security forces, and then walked towards Tang Mo who was in a daze.

He stood not far from Tang Mo, nodded slightly to Weiss who was watching him from Tang Mo's side, and then said to Tang Mo, "Your Majesty the King will definitely thank you for your generosity."

From just now, an uncomfortable feeling has been lingering in Tang Mo's heart. He feels uneasy and a little irritable.

However, there is no problem with the business in front of him, so he still said very professionally to the officer of the Wright Kingdom who came to hand over: "I hope my investment can be rewarded!"

"I will pass on your words, my lord, to His Majesty the King." The officer was very polite to Tang Mo, because he knew that the young man standing here was the favorite whom the king tried his best to win over in order to fight against Cyric. minister.

Didn't you see, the 19-year-old baron, if not hereditary, who would believe that this is a real first-generation noble who has just risen?
Tang Mo forced a smile, looked at the officer and asked faintly, "So, where are my things?"

The officer pointed to the two carriages parked in the distance: "In the carriage are 3000 gold coins, and three beauties prepared by the king for your lord. They all come from innocent families in the royal city and can take care of your daily life. "

I don't know if the king really found three beauties for Tang Mo, or if he wanted to put some eyeliner around Tang Mo. Anyway, the other party put these intentions on the surface, and Tang Mo could only accept them all.

Tang Mo did not refuse, anyway, he did not intend to keep these women under his tent.He just nodded casually, and thanked: "Thanks to the king for his generosity, they will definitely feel like they are at home here."

"Congratulations! Baron!" Handed the letter of appointment from the king to Tang Mo, the officer representing the royal family, and then congratulated Tang Mo with a smile: "Bunas has officially become your fiefdom."

Tang Mo smiled and took the appointment document from the officer, shaking it in his hand: "Now, what else do I need to do?"

A smile appeared on the officer's face, and he explained solemnly: "Originally, you should go to the king's city and thank His Majesty the King personally... However, because the etiquette is too cumbersome, under normal circumstances there is no need for such trouble."

This is a test for the nobles. At that time, the nobles obeyed the king's orders honestly, so everyone didn't mind going to the royal city to go through such a cutscene.

While accepting the canonization of the king, while proving to the king that he is loyal, it can be regarded as giving himself a full sense of ceremony.

It's a pity that the current aristocrats, especially Tang Mo, an emerging force that has been canonized as a nobleman, generally don't care much about things like loyalty.

What's more, they are also full of distrust of the royal family's reputation, and are very worried that if they go to the royal city, they will become the souls of others, so they don't pursue those illusory so-called rituals.

Therefore, in this case, the royal family does not require the newly promoted nobles to go to the royal city to receive canonization, and the newly promoted nobles will not go to the royal city to suffer.

Everyone formed an indescribable tacit understanding. The king only issued documents for the nobility's canonization and appointment, and the nobility only accepted the king's canonization and appointment in their actual control areas.

As the saying goes, rules are dead, but people are alive.Everyone is tacit about this kind of thing, and they also don't bother with those traditions or etiquette anymore.

Tang Mo nodded slightly, and looked at his own name on the document: "Then thank His Majesty the King for me."

The other party waved his hand, as if this is what I should do: "Where, where... These are all things I should do."

Wes walked up to the officer and handed him a tightly tied pocket.The officer froze for a moment, then subconsciously stretched out his hand, and the heavy pocket fell into his palm.

His hand was dropped by the unexpected weight for a long distance, and only then did it stop the tendency to sink.

After a rough estimate, he knew that there were at least 20 gold coins in his pocket.

Unexpectedly, when he came out, he would have such extra income. The joy on the officer's face could not be hidden immediately.

He smiled all over his face, and even reminded Tang Mo flatteringly, "Besides, there are some trivial matters that need to be handled by you personally, Lord Baron."

"For example?" Tang Mo asked knowingly, pretending to be natural.

The officer really regarded reminding Tang Mo as his duty to do his duty, and immediately added with all his heart and responsibilities: "For example, choose your own guardian knight, finalize your own family emblem, choose the color of the flag according to your preference, build Your own castle or manor..."

Under normal circumstances, the fiefs of nobles can actually use their own family flags.

For example, North Ridge of Fishero did not fly the flag of the kingdom, but chose to hang the wolf flag belonging to the Ronin family.

In addition, Tang Mo can also collect his own extra taxes here, and promulgate some of his own private laws here.

Under normal circumstances, the law cannot override the laws of the country, nor can it restrain other nobles, but it has some legal effect on the common people.

Of course, after becoming an aristocrat, there are still many rights and interests, including the private army half-recognized by the kingdom, and the use of some slaves.

In short, there are many related problems that need to be solved to confer and promote a noble. This is also the fundamental reason why nobles are valuable and the kingdom does not easily confer nobles.

Every noble will divide the power of a king, and even divide the territory to a large extent, which has become a serious problem for the kingdom.

Entrusting a noble is one of the most important means for the king to win over a person, so the king has to show his generosity at certain times and promote some newly promoted nobles to fight against those old nobles.

The contradictions among the nobles, the contradictions between the nobles and the king, and the contradictions between the nobles and the common people restrict each other and form the "social ecology" of today's world.

"Ha! This sounds really exciting." Tang Mo looked overwhelmed by surprise, which made the officer feel that his reminder was very important.

"John, accompany this gentleman to the casino to play a few games, the chips are mine..." Tang Mo thoughtfully instructed the elf beside him.

John immediately bowed his head and agreed, "Yes! Master."

"Thank you, sir!" Hearing what Tang Mo said, a deeper smile appeared on the officer's face.After he came to Bunas, he had heard that the casino was booming, but because he didn't have a lot of money, he didn't dare to try that kind of gold sink.

Looking at the two people going away, Tang Mo looked at Weiss and ordered, "Let someone hang the prepared flag on the city hall of Bunas."

"Understood." Wes immediately responded.

"Have someone send another 1 rounds of training ammunition to His Majesty the King... This is our sincerity." Tang Mo ordered again.

Wes continued to nod: "Yes!"

As if thinking of something again, Tang Mo continued to order: "By the way, those three women, leave them to John, and let him not embarrass these girls. Those who are willing to work in casinos or restaurants can arrange jobs, and those who are unwilling Just give a sum of money and send it away!"

"As you wish, my lord." Wes smiled and continued to nod.

Just as the two were walking back, a fast horse rushed out of the road in the vicious forest.The armor on the knight on the horse was a bit messy, but he didn't care to tidy it up.

He rode his horse and galloped, holding the wolf flag of Beiling high, and rushed all the way to the factory full of smoke chimneys not far away.
