As soon as Yaro and Bard arrived at Lan'er Village, the messenger from the earl territory followed them in a dusty manner.
The content of the letter is not the point. The key thing is that it also brought a letter of appointment as viscount with the seal of the earl family!
Yaro chuckled a few times: "Originally, I just wanted the countess to agree to my borrowing her name, but I didn't expect that she would be so sincere."
After saying that, he threw the appointment letter to Bud behind him.
"Sir, be careful!" Bud's expression suddenly changed, and he hurriedly caught the flimsy piece of paper.
"Don't worry too much, it's just a piece of paper."
Holding the letter of appointment as if it were a huge boulder, Bard followed Yarrow cautiously and asked in confusion: "Lord Yarrow, since you don't care about your noble status, why do you say that the earl is sincere?"
During the journey, when Bard learned that "Blood Fury" had been improved by Yarrow and was a shortcut to becoming a formal knight, and Yarrow was willing to teach him, his heart unknowingly favored Yarrow.
——Even the Countess no longer needs the honorific title.
Of course, Yaro wants to teach others "Qi-Blood Fury", which means that the gap in the white velvet beard is even bigger.
Negotiating with the tree demon has become more and more important.
"The letter of appointment is not the key, nor is the noble status of 'Viscount'. The key is that the countess is willing to take the initiative to take over the scapegoat of occupying the viscount's territory."
Yaro noticed Bard's change in attitude and was naturally willing to explain it to him.
"Why? Aren't nobles... not the key?" As he spoke, Bard unconsciously glanced at the letter in his hand.
"You are a de facto noble if you have the strength and actually manage a territory."
As he said that, Yaro glanced back and said, "Without this letter, I wouldn't be able to control this territory?"
Different words have different purposes. The purpose of Yaro's words is naturally to strengthen Bard's idea of pursuing strength.
Of course, his words were true. Yaro could say these words because he was thinking so.
Bud believed it immediately, and no longer looked at the letter in his hand so seriously. He curled his lips, shook the letter in his hand and said, "Then this appointment letter is not that important."
"Okay, put the letter away," Yaro explained casually as he looked at the busy scene of Lan'er village full of construction projects:
“Identity is not the key, the key is the issue of external negotiations.
You must have heard Dylan say that there is a shortage of food in the viscounty territory now, right? With this appointment letter, at least we can have a reasonable reason, and it will be more convenient to purchase grain outside, which can be regarded as solving a lot of our problems.
And because of this matter, the countess will also bear a lot of pressure. "
"Pressure? What pressure?" Bard was born as a bodyguard of a declining baron and did not understand the rules among nobles.
Withdrawing his gaze, Yaro walked towards the hunter's courtyard on the outskirts and asked, "Do you know what enfeoffment is?"
"have no idea."
"A duke can create a marquis, a marquis can create an earl, and an earl can create a viscount... you know these, right?"
"Of course I do, it's common sense."
Bard has long been used to seeing these things, and since he has no other model to compare with, he naturally thinks that this is what should be done.
There is no such thing as "the whole world is a royal land" in this world. Any noble has the right to enfeoff, and can enfeoff lower nobles.
Bard's biggest pursuit in life was to have the baron grant him a knighthood. Unfortunately, in this world, a knighthood is not only a noble status, but also a real official knight.
"The countess made me a viscount. There is no problem with this. But when she enfeoffed the territory of Viscount Cory to me, the problem was even bigger. The enfeoffment was naturally her own territory. The territory of Viscount Cory belonged to the countess. Territory? Of course not."
Just like different cities in a kingdom still belong to the kingdom, the enfeoffed noble territories still belong to the upper nobles legally.
Because of this, the enfeoffed nobles generally need to pay taxes to the upper-ranking nobles.
However, the Corrie Viscount territory does not have to pay taxes to the Countess. Just like the difference between a county and a municipality, he and the Countess are both nobles directly under the Kingdom, and there is essentially no distinction between high and low.
"The Countess' appointment of me as the new lord of Viscount Cory's territory means that this matter was initiated by her, and she is the mastermind!"
If a person robs others with a knife, others will never hold the knife accountable.
Maybe there will be people with unique vision who will say: 'This knife is really sharp. It is a good knife. It should be rewarded! '.
And this is also the key logic for the feudal nobles to be recognized by the direct nobles.
"Lord Yarrow, then... isn't the earl territory more dangerous?" Bard followed closely behind Yarrow and said worriedly.
In any case, Baron Clare is also his nominal lord. The danger to the earldom naturally means that Baron Clare is also in danger.
"Danger? What other dangers could there be?" Yaro chuckled, "The count's territory has long been surrounded by all kinds of monsters. The countess may be hoping that the Kingdom of Llanelli will raise an army to attack her."
The current Llanelli Kingdom is deliberately cutting off the earl territory and pretending to be deaf and dumb to ignore the invasion of the San Fernando Empire.
If the Kingdom of Llanelli really wants to send an army to attack, it will be too late to overcome the obstacles of monsters.
There are so many coming, where should we capture?
The outer reaches of the count's territory have long been a wasteland, and attacking the outer reaches is just to open up material channels for the countess.
Fighting to Skaro Fortress?
Then there is only one wall between them and the San Fernando Empire's army.
The Countess surrendered. Will the Kingdom of Llanelli take over the war or not?
If we don’t take over and let the San Fernando Empire’s army come in, can the Llanelli Kingdom’s army escape?
Taking over, doesn't this just fulfill the countess' wish?
After checking the materials parked in the yard, it was confirmed that these materials were not scrapped due to high tide.
Yaro walked out of the yard again, locked the door, and turned around to see Bud sitting in the corner with a confused look on his face.
"Lord Yaro, what is the countess... planning to do?"
Yaro patted his shoulder and said angrily:
"Okay, everyone's mental capacity is limited, so there is no need to delve into this matter. Professional people will do the professional things. We, just do our own thing well and work hard to improve ourselves."
At one time, Yaro also believed that no matter what happened, 'I can do it if I want to'.
But later, after playing a certain game and then watching the live broadcast of that game for more than ten years, I deeply understood a truth.
Amateurs include 'Bronze', 'Silver', 'Gold', 'Platinum', 'Diamond', 'Master', 'King', and 'King of Thousand Points'.
Each higher level can suppress the next level, and the difference between two levels is crushing.
Then there is the saying, 'Apart from football, don't use your hobbies to challenge others' ability to eat.'
At the same time, the difference in strength between different professional players is also huge.
Isn't the Time Assassin a peerless genius in this province?
'You can still win the championship even if you are sick or have a fever. '
Then what?
With 2 wins and 16 losses, he broke his mentality and became a time assassin.
By the same token, how big is the difference between a 'layman' and a 'professional player' in terms of conspiracy and conspiracy?
In ancient times, could modern people really do whatever they wanted?
Yaro thought he didn't have this ability, so his method of dealing with it was very simple: If you trick me, I'll punch you!
