The Devil Does Not Need to Be Defeated

There are generally two types of nobility.

One is the kingdom nobles with territories.

One is the honorary aristocracy without territory.

The former, as the name suggests, is a noble who has obtained the territory granted by the kingdom, uses the territory as the base, occupies the land as the king, becomes the lord, and regards the development of the territory as its own duty.

This kind of noble has the right to form a private knight group, can have an army, and has extremely high rights. Basically, all matters in the territory are controlled by him, unless he commits a serious crime, or fails to contribute to the development of the territory all the year round, then It will be reclaimed from the territory and demoted to the altar. Otherwise, in addition to the need to hand over 20% of the income in the territory to the kingdom every year, in this territory, the right of this noble is the highest and the greatest, and even the royal family has no right to interfere casually.

The latter will not get the territory, but have the same rights and interests as the former. Not only can they gradually become private knights and individual troops, but they can also receive offerings from the kingdom every year. Depending on the rank of the title, the offerings they receive are also different.

Some of them will serve in the kingdom and become relevant powers in the kingdom and other territories, while others choose to do freelance jobs, travel everywhere, and even become adventurers. There are many honorary nobles.

For example, the Razahad family where Megis and Reilly are located is an honorary noble, and the title rank is Marquis, responsible for all matters of the Adventurer's Guild. The family has been in charge of the Adventurer's Guild for generations. The same is true of the Yin family. The unit they serve is the Knights Order, which is also an honorary aristocrat, and the nobility class is also a marquis.

Of course, the relationship between the nobles of the kingdom and the kingdom will be deeper.

After all, there is a connection on the territory, even if you don't want to be involved, it's unlikely.

Honorary nobles have a relatively high degree of freedom. Unless they choose to serve in the power organs of the kingdom, or unless they do things that endanger the kingdom, no matter what they want to do, the kingdom will not control it.

Honorary nobles who do not serve in the kingdom's authority have only one duty.

That is, when the kingdom is in danger, it must help.

In view of this, for a person like Sheehan, becoming an honorary noble is undoubtedly a relatively high degree of freedom.

Rosie said that Sheehan could choose between becoming a territorial nobleman and an honorary nobleman.

"Then I will be an honorary noble!"

Sean made such a decision without hesitation.

So, Rosie immediately promised Sheehan on behalf of the royal family.

"Since you have decided to become an honorary noble, the kingdom will not grant you territory, but you still have the right to form a knight order and a private army, but the size of the knight order and army will be affected by the title."

"For example, the barons of the lowest ranks in the nobility, they only have the right to form a hundred knights and a thousand troops. The size of the knights and private armies cannot exceed this limit."

"The Viscount can form a thousand knights and an army of ten thousand."

"The Earl can form a knight order of 10,000 people and an army of 100,000 people."

"The marquis can form a knight order of 100,000 people and an army of a million people."

"The Duke can form a knight order of a million people and an army of ten million people."

"This is an explicit rule that cannot be violated."

As long as it is within this prescribed scale, the nobles can freely decide how they want to form a knighthood and a private army.

Sheehan wanted to complain.

"Forget about the front, is it possible that there will be millions at the back?"

As far as the knight order is concerned, even the kingdom knight order has less than 100,000 people. Even if a marquis has the right to form a knight order of 100,000 people, so what?

Is there any way he can get his head around?

Not to mention the Duke, the idea of ​​forming a million-person knights and an army of ten million people is not a joke, right?

Sheehan was stunned.

However, Sheehan also understands that this is just a boundary, as long as it is used to limit those small nobles with a relatively large number, and prevent them from having too many private soldiers,

The big nobles gave them the right to look good. As for whether they can get together a knight group and an army of this size, it depends on their ability.

And Sean's words...

"In view of the achievements you have made twice, the kingdom has decided to give you the title of Viscount directly."

Rosie said so to Sheehan.

"The Viscount can form a knights of a thousand people and an army of 10,000 people, and enjoy the annual offering of 10,000 gold coins, which means that he can receive 10,000 gold coins from the kingdom every year as offerings. In addition, he can also get a house in the noble area, but that one The house was chosen by the kingdom for you, if you are not satisfied, you can also choose to ask the kingdom for a thousand gold coins and go to the noble area to buy it yourself."

With Rosie's remarks, Sheehan only cares about the offering of 10,000 gold coins and the ownership of a house.

Because it has a meaning.

"I am not only a ten thousand yuan household... No, I am a ten thousand gold household, but also have a house directly?"

Is this the rhythm of the poor becoming rich?

Not knowing what Sheen was thinking, Rosie continued to explain.

"After becoming an honorary viscount, if you want to serve in the kingdom, you can apply directly to the palace. After checking, the kingdom will assign you a certain position."

"The higher the title, the better the position. If you can become an honorary earl, you will directly hold a high-power position and be eligible to attend the Kingdom Council."

"Of course, you probably don't want to be employed."

Rosie introduced Sheehan about the rights and even the privileges of being a noble.

This made Sheehan suddenly feel that becoming a noble does not seem to be such a bad thing.

Even if he's not interested in the job or anything, Sheehan still feels that he can have some rights and privileges.

If not, why would so many people want to become nobles?

especially...

"The kingdom has expressly stipulated that commoners are not allowed to marry side chambers, and they can only have one wife. Only businessmen who have contributed to the kingdom can take one more concubine."

"The nobility has the right to polygamy, but it also depends on the level of the title."

"A baron can have a wife and a concubine."

"Viscounts can have one wife and two concubines."

"The count can have two wives and three concubines."

"A marquis can have three wives and four concubines."

"The Duke can have four wives and five concubines."

"Only the royal family, there is no limit. How big the harem is, then how many side rooms can be obtained, but the children of the side rooms have no right to inherit the throne. When the king of the same generation is decided in the future, their children will not be given the title of duke, only the children of the main room. If there is an heir to the throne, if he does not ascend the throne in the end, he will be able to obtain the title of duke, so the number of main rooms will not be too many, at most five."

When Rosie said this, she was staring at Sheehan.

And what about Sean?

When he heard that the viscount could take one wife and two concubines, he had already stood up.

"My loyalty to the kingdom can be seen by the sun and the moon, and everyone can see it. Therefore, this nobleman, I deserve it!"

Sheehan's serious and serious words made Rosie's mouth twitch, and she wanted to bite him twice.

Wasn't it tough before?

You continue to be tough! Soul pale!
