Chapter 199 Family Crest and Territory

Alonso III came to the students who had passed the test. He looked at these young people who were neatly lined up and all held their heads high, with gratified eyes. 【】The king drew his long sword from his waist, raised it above his head and said loudly: "You have done a good job. After hard study, you have proved yourself to be a qualified knight. With the right bestowed by the Supreme God, I declare that you have officially become a kingdom knight!"

"Long live!" The students who successfully graduated gave earth-shattering cheers to celebrate their title of knight.

Roger in the crowd also had tears in his eyes, and murmured in his heart: "Finally, we've made it through, good days are just around the corner!"

Alonso III did not personally canonize Roger as a knight, but chose another student to enjoy this honor.The other students were extremely envious of this lucky guy, but Roger didn't care about it. The honor he personally canonized by the king is not as practical as giving a few hundred gold coins.

Now that Roger has obtained the title of knight, the title of hereditary baron promised by Alonso III also automatically falls on his head.After obtaining the title of baron, Roger's first place to go is naturally the Senate, which manages the affairs of all the nobles in the entire kingdom, including the determination of the noble's family emblem, the designation of heirs, and even the distribution of territories, all must be approved by the Senate. really take effect.

The Senate was neither particularly enthusiastic nor deliberately difficult for Roger, the newly promoted baron, and all procedures were handled according to the rules.Except for some problems when determining the family coat of arms, Roger did not encounter any other troubles in the Senate.

The family coat of arms is a symbol of a family and a key part of aristocratic etiquette.The pattern on the family emblem has very rich meanings, including the ancestral origin of the family, what famous people have been born in history, and what important events have been done that are worth mentioning, all of which can be reflected on the family emblem, so it has always been very popular. attention of the nobility.

However, Roger didn't pay much attention to this kind of thing. At the beginning, he just drew a star on the shading of the shield and handed it over to the Senate. As a result, the family emblem was returned without any accident.So Roger changed the shading of the family crest to a blue ball embellished with a large area of ​​green, and the main graphic is a towering and majestic castle, which looks quite imposing.

Although no one except Roger knew what the blue ball meant, his newly designed family crest successfully passed the Senate's review.The efficiency of the Senate was very high, and Roger got a full set of certificates to prove his noble status within a few days.Strictly speaking, after Roger got the parchment with the magic seal and the name, title and territory, he became a real nobleman.

For Roger, the rank of the title is just a cloud, and only the territory is the real benefit.It is clearly written on the parchment that proves his identity that Baron Roger Lee's territory is located in Kent County in the eastern part of the kingdom, Rance Province.

"Haha, my buddy is also a big landlord now!" Roger was ecstatic after getting this certificate. He traveled to the world of Torenzo for so long, and has been running around for survival.Now it is finally the hope of living a happy life. For him, this is the best news in the recent period.

When Roger left the Senate happily, he had no idea that two people were talking about themselves in a study in the Senate Building.

"You said that country bumpkin from the Lund Peninsula knows what's going on in his territory, would he cry out of sadness?" A young man said in a frivolous tone, "If it were me, I would think it would be better to be a knight .”

It was Jason sitting opposite the young man, but he didn't have the slightest smile on his face. He just reminded in a deep voice: "Remember, don't let other people know that you and I have something to do with this matter, otherwise..."

"Are you still worried about my work?" The man interrupted Jansen and said, "As long as you don't speak, no third person will ever know about this matter."

Jansen said in a low voice, "This is the best way. If my teacher finds out about this, your family and mine will bear the wrath of the Magician's Union."

Roger didn't know that he had also become a favorite in the eyes of the Magician's Guild. He happily returned to the Duke's mansion, and showed the parchment that proved his noble status to Anna and others who had been waiting for a long time.

"Finally, I am also a nobleman with a territory." Roger said to Lisa and the others proudly: "You all follow me to the territory, and in the future, you will be indispensable to anyone who is popular and spicy!"

"Willing to follow the adults." To get such a promise from Roger, Mike, Eddie and others were very moved, and quickly expressed their hearts to him.Lisa, Chris and Phil, the two knights, had long regarded Roger as their lifelong goal, so naturally they didn't need to say anything to Roger.

Only Anna was not as excited as everyone else, but after calming down all the contents on the parchment, she finally sneered and said, "Hmph, the Senate has also stood on Vatel's side, and they actually allocated you such a territory!"

"Is this place not good?" When it came to the territory, Roger became nervous, and hurriedly approached Anna with a parchment and said, "Kent County in Lance Province, I have checked the map. This place is near the sea and has a large area. It’s big too, and looks great.”

Hearing Roger tell the location of the territory, Chris and other well-informed people all had weird smiles on their faces.Seeing everyone's wry smiles, Roger also sensed that something was wrong, and couldn't help asking tentatively, "Why...is there any problem with this?"

"The area of ​​Kent is not small, but the climate is dry and the yield of barren land is very low, so the number of residents there is very small." Seeing that Roger was confused, Anna put her hand on her forehead and explained to him: "And the southern part of Kent is part of the Green Sea Forest, which is the territory of the elves, but the northeast is the Red Mountain Range, which is the sphere of influence of the dwarves, and the northwest is bordered by the Golden Wasteland, where the orcs often operate. In short ...Kent County is simply an orphan in the human world, anyone with any ability doesn't want to stay there!"

"Damn it!" Unexpectedly, the Xanadu he imagined would be like this, and Roger couldn't help but swear.

Eddie, on the other hand, has always been very interested in the situation in various parts of the kingdom. After hearing Anna's words, he couldn't help interjecting: "But as far as I know, Kent Town is also a good seaport, and along the nearby Gangluo River, you can go upstream. It goes directly to the wharf from Mandos City, so Kent Town has always been an important commercial town, there should be a lot of taxes there, right?"

"That was before." Anna's words extinguished the last ray of hope in Roger's heart: "In the past six months, the tax revenue of Kent Town has been decreasing, and there are only a few hundred gold coins in the account every month, which is not enough to pay taxes to the kingdom! Now you After taking over that territory, not only will there be no income, but gold coins will be paid every year!"

"Fuck, you're the gobi!" After listening to Anna's words, Roger opened his mouth to say something that no one could understand.
