Sword of Daybreaker

Dark Mountain Range.

After seeing what Gawain pointed out, everyone couldn’t help but see.

The first one that couldn’t help but break the silence was the Western Region Grand Duke Beldwin Franklin, who stared wide-eyed: “You… sure?”

“What’s the reason?” Gawain smiled. “Is there still a master in this place?”

“That’s not…” Francis II shook his head. “The entire Dark Mountain Range area and the more southerly places are unowned. It does meet the requirements of the pioneering decree, but that place is not only close to the Typhon Empire, but also directly to the south. Connected to Gondor Wasteland, it’s…”

The Dark Mountain Range is part of the southern border of Ainz, with its eastern section extending into the Typhon Empire and the western section spreading hundreds of kilometres along Ainz’s border, then bending south to a small angle into the Gondor Wasteland Corrupted in the earth. In theory, even the southern strip-shaped plain of the Dark Mountain Range is also the territory of Ainz, but in fact the kingdom can control only the north side of the mountain range – and the control is quite limited.

The most important reason is the existence of Gondor Wasteland.

The land is still shrouded by chaotic elemental force and magic energy, and the ever-increasing rot of the earth makes the earth almost not even a blade of grass grows, and is full of toxins that are deadly to humans.

Although its scope is no longer spread, in the wasteland border area, the toxic dust storms that occasionally blow with the wind and the occasional wandering monsters are threats.

Historically, after the stability of the Ainz Kingdom situation, there have been attempts to make several recoils in the Southern Region – they even had plans to recapture Gothor’s homeland, but ultimately all efforts failed. The purification of wasteland is extremely difficult and repetitive, and the income is not directly proportional to the effort. The pioneering bases that were barely established in the early days are often destroyed by toxic dust storms and monsters when they fail to produce, so the Ainz royal family is withdrawn. All the pioneering teams and stopped at the north side of the Dark Mountain Range.

Then, as the northern part of the kingdom became more prosperous and established diplomatic relations with the Violet Kingdom, the kingdom’s center of gravity shifted further toward the north, plus the “Mist Month Civil War” a hundred years ago, the Southern Region Cecil Family collapsed overnight, south The situation has further deteriorated and regressed. Today, the entire Dark Mountain Range and most of the surrounding area are no different from the wasteland.

The taste of the wasteland that has been blown over the mountain range has even corrupted the plains of the northern range of the mountain range.

But Gawain is only lightly smiled: “I faced a worse situation than that. I talked about political struggles and intrigues. I may not be as good as you, but when it comes to confronting sinister nature, you are absolutely not comparable. I.”

Whether it is really true or not, just blow a wave and say .jpg.

Since Gawain himself is so confident, the rest of the scene will certainly not continue to worry about him. For King and other nobles, whether Gawain Cecil can stand firm in the South is not what they care about, they care most. It’s just that this hot potato can leave Royal Capital. Since Gawain took the initiative to choose a place where no bird wouldn’t be embarrassed, then what?

Hurry and send Old Ancestor away!

If it weren’t necessary to agree on some details, then Francis II had almost prepared the carriage for the Gawain family…

After finalizing the most important developement right issue, Gawain took the opportunity to let Francis II acknowledge a few other “insignificant little things.”

First of all, Gawain Cecil’s Duke identity must exist, but for the time being only his personal reputation, and can not be inherited to any child, unless the Gailin died again (no error) Cecil Family has indeed opened up vast land in the South, or There are other merits, and then the title of the son should be judged according to his land and merits.

This is actually a nondescript scheme. It is a product of Gawain Cecil’s Duke identity and the one hundred years ago. No one dares to deprive the Founding Grand Duke of the title, but there is no way to make a Viscount family jump directly. Duke, so I had to make such a compromise. To be frank, this is totally inconsistent with any law since Ainz’s founding – but what logic do you tell a person who comes out of the coffin?

Old Ancestor doesn’t even talk to you about physics, but also tells you the truth! ?

The so-called “temporarily non-inheritable”, the discerning person knows that this is just a drag and a time, to give an account to the existing aristocratic system.

In addition, the Ainz royal family will fully recognize the full autonomy of the Cecil Family on new land – just as Founding King recognizes the autonomy of any develop territory.

Coupled with some fragmented conventions, Gawain finally got the results he wanted.

A country in the middle of the country that is not disturbed by people.

In fact, these contents have already been set. When the Prince Edmund visited in advance, Gawain had already set up a line with King. Now, in Oaken Hall, it is just a passing.

No one at the scene objected to these contents – anyway, the Cecil Family is going to a barren land, and how many territories they will not affect the vested interests of any family now, since there is no conflict in the interests, then the name The conflict on it is well solved.

Francis II signed a new developement document on the spot, announcing that according to the ancient law, the Cecil Family will have a developement right centering on the Dark Mountain Range and surrounding all the land around the kingdom, and announce that it will provide the necessary activities for this development. Support – including a team of 100 people consisting of various craftsmen and mage apprentice, as well as the food and cloth needed to develop the first year of the territory.

Among them, craftsmen and apprentices will be in the developement territory for three years. After three years, they will voluntarily choose to stay, but if someone stays, Cecil Family will “purchase” to the royal family at the price of one person thirty golden shield coins. they.

These support is not much, but Gawain is already very satisfied. For the current poor Cecil Family, this can be a hot pressing.

Treasure in the mountain, gold and silver and ore ingot can’t be directly turned into food, and it can’t become a skilled craftsman. In this age, the word “exploitation” has become a distant history, no one wants to leave stable. The homeland, running to a place next to Gondor Wasteland to open up wasteland, the hundred craftsmen and apprentices will be the most valuable wealth.

This can also be said that Francis II expressed goodwill to Gawain on behalf of the Ainz royal family – thanks to the Founding Grand Duke for his recognition of the bloodline.

The deal is over and everyone is happy, and a banquet is indispensable after a transaction that is both satisfactory to both parties.

Oaken Hall was re-enclosed, and the banquet hall at castle’s second floor hosted a feast. Food and wine were served on the table. King and his most trusted aristocrats celebrated the return of a Legendary hero. Many could not be called. The nobility of the name did not know where it was hidden before, and all of them came out at once, and the ballroom was full of excitement.

Those new to the aristocrats who were not eligible to enter Oaken Hall but were qualified to know the outcome of the meeting for the first time, they had been waiting in the lounges of Silver Castle for half a day until the attendants ran into the ballroom. They rang the copper bells that were ready for the celebration, and they appeared with a smile.

Rebecca was the first to participate in this occasion – the lonely Miss Feudal Lord has never been in such a splendorous and majestic place since she was a child, and she has never been to the Cecil Family since she was a child. I have participated in several decent banquets. The grandest banquet in her impression was that when she was 16 years old, Father hosted a very lively celebration in the castle, but it was just a long table full of food.

It is completely different from the banquet in Silver Castle.

The entire hall is full of long tables, all of which are delicious food for everyone. The center of the hall is where the ladies and gentlemen dance, and the ornate band plays the music on the stage on the side of the hall. Mages The four corners of the hall release magic, constantly creating a variety of wonderful glare and falling snow in mid-air – making the precious mage to create the illusion of this sizzling atmosphere, which is simply unbelievable in Rebecca’s view .

King, Your Majesty… It’s rich.

At first, Rebecca tried hard to make a mature and stable appearance, but soon, the girl’s nature overwhelmed the point that she forced it out. She grabbed Gawain’s hand and asked this, while Gawain With a smile, she smiles at her according to her memory and the imagination of the crossed over.

Rebecca’s bun-like performance escaped the big aristocrats who had long since polished their eyes, but they did not show any disdain for the little Feudal Lord from the country – perhaps a little bit, but Gawain Cecil stood by Rebecca. This inseparable “parent” makes everyone have to converge on a contemptuous mentality, at least on the surface to keep Rebecca smiling.

Then, a few young people came to invite Rebecca to dance together—probably they thought that Cecil Family now has a town ancestor, and there is some potential value of the close relationship, but these people are all blocked by Gawain. Go back.

Just kidding, Rebecca is caught in the general brain and the character of the head iron. It is inseparable in the Southern Region. Does it deal with the guys of Royal Capital, the monkey monkey, not selling the whole family in an instant?

“Excessive protection does not allow children to grow up,” a gentle male voice came from the side. “Viscount Rebecca is an adult, and you should give her more exposure to the social circles of the upper class.”

Gawain looked back and saw the Western Region Grand Duke Beldwin Franklin standing behind him, while standing with Beldwin was the Northern Region Grand Duke Victoria Wilde.

“I died early in the year, and I didn’t have much experience in teaching children.” Gawain shrugged and said carelessly.

Beldwin: “…”

Victoria: “…”

“And I feel that even if I don’t stop, Rebecca has no time to take care of others.”

Gawain said as he pointed to his N+1 level great-granddaughter – the Miss Viscountess was stumping oneself with food at the nearby long table…

“It’s really…rate,” Beldwin Duke said dryly.

Gawain smiled and looked forward towards Victoria Wilde, who was indifferent to his face: “I have some questions to ask the Wilde’s girl than to educate the latter generation.”
