Tome of Blood

  With the complete recovery of the northern border, Castel's rebellion also ended with the destruction of the Legris family.

  The official statement is that the Legolis family colluded with the Blood Demon Sect, intending to summon the evil gods to descend in the ruins underground in the Northland, but in the end they turned back on themselves, leading to the destruction of the entire family.

  All kinds of legends, with the complete takeover of the Viscount Legolis by the Castel family, have become more impressive.

  Especially the "heart palpitations" felt by almost all the residents of the Northland some time ago, and it was rumored that it was also related to the failed divine descent of the Blood Demon Cult, which increased the authenticity of this matter.

  In the taverns on the streets and alleys, and in the salons of the nobles and businessmen, people talked about it with great enthusiasm, and it was considered as an extra resource for after-dinner conversation.

The Gorefiend Cult found an ancient lost artifact and was about to perform the divine descent, but was finally stopped by the Castel family; what the Bloodfiend Cult was at the end of the divine descent ceremony, and the betrayed Legris family also Wake up and betray the water, causing them to fall short, etc...

  There are false in the true, and true in the false.

  In short... Under Charlotte's special promotion, all the blame was borne by the Gorefiend Order and the Legris family.

Of course, in a certain sense, it cannot be said that everything is wrong. After all, the Legris family really colluded with the Gorefiend Cult. It is true that not everyone in the Gliese family has really fallen.

  The only core difference is probably that the rhythm of Charlotte's fusion statue is also thrown at the head of the Gorefiend Cult.

  As for whether the investigation team of the future Holy Royal Court believes it...whether they believe it or not, anyway, the people of the Northland believe it, and the nobles also believe it. Charlotte...well, I can't believe it anymore.

  At the same time, because Castel's official statement was that the plot of the Blood Demon Cult had been stopped, the concerns of the citizens about the "advent of the evil god" quickly passed.

   Instead, there is another thing that many people are curious about—

  How to deal with the recovered territory of the Legris family.

   The citizens were very curious about this, and the nobles were even more curious.

  Not only are they curious, but there have been a lot more Northland nobles who have come to Northport to meet Charlotte recently, with their families and their families, showing loyalty, making contributions, and complaining about difficulties...

  In short, the meaning revealed in the open and in the dark is the same, that is, I hope Charlotte can take care of her family and give them a little territory.

  As the lord, Charlotte patiently received them one by one.

  In addition to those excessive requirements, some relatively reasonable Charlottes are also satisfied.

   This is also a territorial request that she promised in advance, in order to gain the full support of the nobles.

   Viscount Legris has a large territory and few people. It is not a problem to take out some unimportant territories for enfeoffment. Now is not the time to strengthen the centralization of power. Charlotte does need to exchange some benefits in exchange for the support of the nobles.

  No... In fact, from another perspective, if Charlotte really intends to take the road of becoming a god, whether to strengthen the centralization of power does not seem to be an important issue for her.

  Following the development of the times, let’s take one step at a time. In fact, she now only needs to finally gain the allegiance of her superiors and establish her own belief system.

  Of course, when dividing up the territory of the Legris family, Charlotte kept those most critical territories.

  For example, Port of Legelis, the territory directly under the Legelis family, such as several fortress castles on the border, such as the richest baronies in the Viscount Legolis...

   These, Charlotte has all been brought under the direct control of the Castel family.

   In addition to this, it is the share of the Legris family in the Castel Mine.

  Because the territory of the Legris family is the closest to the mine and contributed the most in the development of the mine, it has had the highest proportion of income among the three viscount families since ancient times, almost equivalent to the sum of the other noble families.

  The Legaris family was able to adopt 1,500 full-armored hussars as a mere viscount, relying on the income from the mine!

  The title was deprived, the territory was taken back, and the Legaris family's right to share in the Castel Mine was naturally taken over by Charlotte to the Earl's Mansion, and he no longer planned to share it.

  Combining the dividend rights that Charlotte took back from other rebellious aristocratic families, on the whole Castel has collected nearly half of the dividend ratio of the silver mine.

  And if the original remaining share of the Castel family is added, Charlotte's current share of the Castel silver mine's dividends has exceeded 70%.

In addition, the Castel family has become independent from Boulder, and there is no need to abide by the past contract, and there is no need to pay the corresponding contract tax to the Principality of Boulder, even if it is added that the kingdom that needs to be redefined in the future will directly belong to the kingdom. The taxation of the vassals, and the income of the Castel family may also have to be greatly increased.

  Charlotte only asked the tax officer of the Earl's Mansion to make a preliminary calculation, and then came to a conclusion that made her feel a little tongue-tied.

After this war of external and internal troubles, the income of the Castel family may at least increase by four or five times, and the monthly income may exceed two million quintana, which is more than ten years ago when her father was in power. And more!

   It can only be said that the Northland is really rich, and the nobles in the Northland are also really rich.

   A civil war was fought, but the lord Charlotte made war fortune...

   After seeing the numbers, Charlotte suddenly became interested in centralization again.

  No way, it’s really delicious. This is just taking back the territories of a viscount and some minor nobles, and gaining independence from the Bold family.

  Even if the income increased due to the recovery of the Castel silver mine is removed, the income that the recovered noble territory can provide to Charlotte can reach 500,000 quintana per month.

   This is still a tax recorded on the surface.

  In fact, all kinds of resources produced in the territory, especially some fragmentary extraordinary resources and strategic resources, are even priceless.

  Take the Legris family as an example. The Legris family owns a pasture dedicated to raising war horses.

  Although the quality of these war horses can only be said to be sufficient, far inferior to the dragonscale horses of the Grand Duchy of the North, they are also much better than Castel's own ordinary horses.

  At the same time, this is also the main source of cavalry horses of the Legolis family.

   Naturally, this pasture was also accepted by Charlotte.

   However, although Charlotte's income has increased, her expenditure will also increase accordingly.

  Castel Territory has become independent and is no longer under the protection of Boulder. Charlotte will definitely build its own extraordinary army next.

   In addition, she also plans to invest money to further plan the development of the territory.

  Of course, this is something for another time.

  Charlotte first ordered the earldom cabinet to discuss these matters, discuss a feasible plan first, and planned to finalize the specific plan after she returned from the meeting in the royal capital.

   And after the official handover of the control of the Legolis territory, Sebastian and Nice also returned.

   Returning with them is the blood earl Yurst who has disguised his identity, and the black dragon Eudocia who is still sleeping after his magic power is sealed by Sebastian.

  However, besides a few people, there was also a group of uninvited guests with different costumes—

  A messenger group from the Grand Duchy of the North.
