MTL - Heroes of Silver Moon-Chapter 18 : transfer fief

Of course, someone like Simon, who was able to enter with the admission qualification certificate when there were only ten people in the first period, probably only Simon was the only one in the entire Silver Moon Kingdom.

Because generally speaking, the magic academy must first give places to those who take the normal path. After all, cultivating magic talents for the kingdom is the main purpose of the magic academy.

People from the Masters Union will not be considered until the third period, and those related households, including those who have obtained the qualifications for admission from His Majesty the King, should not be allowed in until the fourth period.

But who makes Simon's relationship hard enough? Grand Duke Gaseppe is the king's most trusted and valued younger brother. The king gave him a little green light for this younger brother.

It is not a problem at all to let Simon advance in the first period. If anyone refuses to accept it, let him go to His Majesty the King himself to argue.

After Simon put away the wooden box, everyone at the banquet was in a happy scene again. With everyone having their own thoughts, this "pleasant" family banquet came to an end soon.

After all, the main purpose of holding this banquet is the admission qualification certificate of the Magic School. When Simon got the admission qualification certificate, it already meant that the banquet was coming to an end.

With the wooden box in his arms, Simon returned to his room under the leadership of the headmaid, Butler, and Christine followed a servant.

Marquis Kim and Farid followed Xiver to the guest room. It was already night, and they would not go back until tomorrow.

And Valeri was dragged to the study by Hina. In the study, Hina sat on a chair and looked at Valeri. Valeri's eyes were evasive, but he didn't dare to look at Hina.

And Hina didn't speak, just kept staring at Valeri like this, after a long while, finally Valeri was defeated, he finally stopped dodging, and faced Hina's scrutinizing eyes awkwardly.

"Let's talk," Hina said slowly, "What did you exchange for the admission qualification certificate?"

Valery thought for a while, and said to his wife with a trace of pain on his face: "Ten sets of full-body armor with primary enchantment".

"Oh, that's all." Hina had an obvious expression of disbelief, not because the ten sets of primary enchanted full body armor were worthless.

On the contrary, these ten sets of primary enchanted full body armor are also very precious, adding up to almost four thousand gold coins, which is almost the entire accumulation of three generations of the Hawke family, which is almost one or two hundred years old.

However, this price is too small compared to the admission qualification certificate for the magic school.

You know, if the admission qualification certificate of the magic academy is auctioned in the capital, it can even fetch a sky-high price of 100,000 gold coins.

The high mountain territory of the Hawke family is desolate, coupled with years of war, that's why the Hawke family is so poor, but in those prosperous places in the northern border, there are many wealthy nobles.

Their territories are no less prosperous than those in the southern border. Generally speaking, for a northern fiefdom that is the same size as the Alpine Territory, the annual income of the lord is at least twice that of Valery.

And their territory is still in a state of peace all year round, so there is no need to spend a lot of gold coins to raise a large private army, and there is no need to pay other expenses for fighting.

The third point is that some families were canonized by the first king when the Silver Moon Kingdom was founded.

After thousands of years of accumulation, even His Majesty the King may not be richer than them. After all, there are too many places where a kingdom needs to spend gold coins.

Some great nobles have also established chambers of commerce. Some big chambers of commerce earn more money in a month than the high mountain leader earns in a year. In the whole kingdom, there are many great nobles who want this admission qualification certificate.

Therefore, it is not a problem at all for this admission qualification certificate to be auctioned for a sky-high price of 100,000 gold coins at the auction in the Kingdom's economic and political center, the Royal Capital.

That's why Hina didn't believe Valéry's words. Even if she got it from her father, Marquis Kim, considering his affection, Marquis Kim might not ask for that much, but he definitely wouldn't ask for less.

Hina knew that the eldest son of her brother Farid, who was only a few years older than Simon, might also attend the newly opened academy this year.

She didn't believe that her father would leave his grandson alone and give Simon the admission qualification certificate just because of ten sets of primary enchanted full body armor.

So Valery obviously didn't say anything. Hina speculated that seeing his wife didn't believe it, Valery could only continue talking, although he knew that his wife would be even more angry after hearing it.

"There is also Qiangmu Town." After Valery finished speaking, he closed his eyes in horror, covered his face with his hands, and leaned back a little, waiting for his wife's iron fist to punish him.

There are a total of four towns in the high mountain collar of the Hawke family, and these four towns are roughly arranged in a diamond shape. Among them, Jianshi Town is the closest to the Gelu Mountains. UU reading www.uukanshu.com

Yuangu Town and Yuema Town are located slightly behind Jianshi Town on the left and right sides, and also border on the Gelu Mountains.

And Qiangmu Town is just blocked by these three towns, it can be regarded as the rear of the Alpine Territory, and it is also the most prosperous town in the Alpine Territory.

Valery's transfer of this town to the Marquis of Quiem was not just about losing one of the most prosperous towns.

The Alpine Territory will lose its rear from then on, changing from a rhombus to a triangle, and the entire territory will lose its strategic depth, all bordering on the Gelu Mountains.

This is extremely unfavorable for the high mountain leaders who have been fighting against barbarian tribes all year round.

Valery, who had his eyes closed, didn't wait for his wife's iron fist. He quietly opened his left eye. Seeing that nothing was wrong, he slowly opened his right eye, and slowly looked at him through the gap between his hands protecting him. lost his wife.

Hina sat there, rubbing her temples with her hands, and sighed. During the banquet, she thought that Valery must have exchanged the admission qualification certificate with the fief.

A noble's fief is the most valuable thing in the entire noble family. Many nobles with false titles who do not have a fief dream of obtaining a fief, such as Hina's father, Marquis Kim.

Although Hina's father is a marquis, he also has a marquis land under his name, but that marquis land does not really belong to Marquis Kim, it is actually the dukedom of the royal family.

It's just that Marquis Kim had some achievements when he was young, so he was attached to Marquis Kim's name.

Although the Marquis of Kim was also managing the territory, most of the income from that territory had to be handed over to the king.

He can neither form his own private army, nor can he buy, sell or transfer the territory. He is almost equivalent to the administrator of the marquis, not the lord.
