Chapter 293: Talinea's Summons
Ye Fei saw Tarina in the old place, and almost every time he saw him, this woman had a cold and solemn image, and it was rare to show a smile. But today, Tarina is smiling like a spring breeze, and her face is radiant!
Ye Fei looked at Tarina at this time in amazement, and muttered secretly in his heart, when is it time for this girl to have a temperament? How kind are you now? Judging by her smile, people who don't know will really think that she is a good person like Aunt Lily. He coughed lightly, took two steps and saluted Tarina, and said, "Your Excellency, what are you doing with me!" ”
Tarina looked at Ye Fei with a smile and said, "Hide the bow at night...... Viscount, you are really good, very good! ”
"Huh?" Ye Fei suddenly felt that something was wrong with Tarina's words, frowned and thought for a moment, and jumped up suddenly, "Viscount, you said that I am already a viscount?" ”
"Yes, your title has actually been decided a long time ago, 30 million gold coins, enough to buy a viscount's title. It's just that your strength has not been very good, so even if you get the title, it can only be a title without a territory, and later, you completed the trial, and now you are the first to complete the assessment, so we think you have enough strength to obtain the territory. ”
Nobles who own territories and nobles who do not have territories have the same titles, but their rights are absolutely different. A nobleman who does not have a territory is just hanging the title of a nobleman, and has no real rights. And the nobles who own the territory are remarkable, and in their territory, they are kings! As long as they pay a certain amount of taxes to the country or city they belong to every year, they can 'do whatever they want' in their territory, setting taxes in their territory, recruiting private armies, building castles, etc., basically, as long as they do not launch a rebellion, no one will interfere. Just like the Grand Duke of Ceylon, if he hadn't been greedy enough to break away from the control of the city of Most, he would not have perished.
Therefore, as soon as he heard that he was a viscount with a territory, Ye Fei almost left his saliva and asked expectantly: "So, where is my fiefdom, how big is it, and how many private troops can I have?" ”
"As long as you can afford it, no matter how much private army you develop, it's okay. If you don't have enough private troops, you can recruit some soldiers from our city defense army to help you defend the city, of course, they are not your private army, and if you rebel, they will kill you as soon as possible. ”
Ye Fei snorted: "My brain hasn't been kicked by a donkey, so the ghost will rebel." ”
Talena gave him a blank look: "As for the fief, well, for the sake of your relationship with Linda, I can give you a chance to choose freely, the viscount's fiefdom has two towns, as for the area of the fief, well, the area range of the two towns is the scope of your territory, but I want to remind you that as a newly promoted nobleman, it does not mean that the larger the area of the town, the better, as a lord, especially a newly promoted lord like you, who has no power, will become the object of many people's covetousness." Whether it's other lords or bands of thieves, they all want a piece of the pie from you. At this point, your little strength is overstretched. ”
Ye Fei snorted, he knew that pies would not fall from the sky, if he really took over this territory, God knows how many people would be greedy. Moreover, Most City will not be the main game place for players for a long time to come, as long as the strength reaches a certain point, it will leave here and get a territory here, which seems unprofitable.
However, a territory, even if it is Ye Fei, he has some vanity in his heart, why don't he take it down? He hesitated for a moment and said, "Does the territory must only be chosen in Most City?" ”
"Of course, you are a nobleman of Most City, so you can only choose within the boundaries of Most City. Of course, your status as a nobleman is applicable wherever you go, even if you go to the Cloud Dragon Empire, they will know that you are a nobleman of Most City, but there you will enjoy the treatment of guests, which is different from the treatment of the nobles of the Cloud Dragon Empire itself. ”
"I'd like to see the map of Most City first."
"No problem." Tarina unfolded a magical map, with circles of light showing the entire map. When he saw this map, Ye Fei realized that the Most City he had seen was really just the tip of the iceberg, and the map under the jurisdiction of the real Most City was more than three times more than what was displayed on their electronic map now.
Tarina pointed to the different colored circles of light and explained: "These circles of light have different meanings, the green circles of light indicate that there are already lords here, the white circles of light represent the idle places, the red maps indicate maps with a level higher than level 60, and the skeletons on the maps indicate that there are a large number of bandits and bandits here." ”
Ye Fei looked at the apertures of this piece, those vacant places were basically in the vicinity of Most City, and the territories of other nobles were all in relatively high-level places, and a small half of them were above level sixty. He asked curiously, "Why did these nobles choose those dangerous places as their territories?" You see, there are actually three bandits entrenched in the vicinity of this territory, and if he chooses here, won't he be beaten to bankruptcy? ”
"Resources, the more dangerous the place, the more high-level resources there are, whether it is minerals, wood or various crystals, many high-quality resources are located in these places, even if they hire more powerful mercenaries to guard here, they have to occupy this place, just for resources!"
Resource!
Ye Fei's eyes lit up, indeed, what is the most important thing about the territory? It's not popularity, it's resources, for a game, even if it's a high-level map, there will be a day when there will be fewer people, and the current top-level map, maybe in the near future, will become a low-level map because of the appearance of a certain expansion, and the number of players here will decrease, so it's unrealistic to want to rely on the population to maintain the long-term sustainable development of the map. Then, only resources, a large number of resources, are what a territory can really rely on.
His gaze scanned the map, pointed to one of the gray areas, and asked, "What is this place?" ”
Tarina frowned, she didn't expect Ye Fei to actually take a fancy to this place, she said: "This was once the territory of some nobles, but ...... They're all dead! ”
"Dead?" Ye Fei looked at Tarina puzzled, what does this death mean?
Tarina said in a deep voice, "Dead! That is, their family was destroyed, and the cause of their demise was this territory. Although this piece is not big, it is only about the size of the territory of three towns, but the territory and the surrounding mountains contain rich minerals and resources, including three mythril veins, one magic silver vein, two high-quality crystal mines, and the iron wood forest on the mountain, there are many high-grade wood, as well as demonic beasts, the nearby mountains and forests are all more than sixty level of demonic beasts, strong, and most importantly, there are three bandit groups entrenched near this territory, they are actually the controllers of this gray mountain forest. Before you, several nobles chose this place as their domain, and they thought they could control this territory smoothly, but they all failed! ”
Although she just listened to Tarina casually, she could hear a helplessness in her tone, as the archon of Most City, there was a place that they could not penetrate and control, which made her very helpless and a little annoyed at the same time.
Ye Fei calculated for a moment and said, "So, is there a town here?" ”
"Yes, three towns. Of course, these are more of a den of thieves than a town! ”
"A den of thieves?" Ye Fei screamed in shock.
Tarina nodded: "It's a den of thieves, the three bandit groups in this gray area, which are actually composed of the residents of these three towns, plus some rogues." ”
"I'll you!"
Ye Fei instantly understood why any lord in the past would be killed. For no other reason, the inhabitants of these three towns are reluctant to share their profits. Originally, the ores and crystals they dug out of the mine fell into their own pockets, but once the lord went, not only could they not enter the mine to mine at will, but even the money they earned on weekdays had to pay a part of the tax. Rather than this, it is better to do the lord and make that place a three-way zone, so that the money they get will be their own again.
Tarina looked at Ye Fei's tangled face, a glimmer of light flashed in her eyes, and she suddenly smiled and said, "If you want this place, I can make the decision and assign all these three towns to you, how about it." ”
"Give me three towns like this, do you think I don't die fast enough?" Ye Fei was extremely depressed, this woman would not be so vicious, deliberately let herself run to that place to die.
Tarina shrugged her shoulders and said, "Of course, if you don't dare, you can't help it!" ”
"Cut, don't use the agitation method on me, it's useless. However, your proposal is really good! Ye Fei held his chin in one hand, and countless wonderful ideas suddenly poured out of his heart, and there was also a bright light in his eyes.
"Oh? Do you really dare to ask for it? Tarina looked at Ye Fei with some surprise, she originally thought that this young man would not dare to accept this territory, and even if he did, he would not agree so easily. She pondered for a moment, and suddenly thought of something, and said: "By the way, you don't want Linda to take the expeditionary force to help you, except for the part of the expeditionary force under you, you have no right to mobilize any expeditionary force to help you exterminate the bandits in your territory." ”
"Oh? So, I still have some soldiers from the expeditionary force? ”
"Yes!" Tarina nodded, a smile tugging at the corner of her mouth.
"How much?"
"Ten!"
"I'm ......" Ye Fei opened his mouth, Nima, ten? This is also a little too cold, ten expeditionary forces, what can they do.
Tarina looked at his expression and laughed: "Ten, it's already very good, you're just a sergeant, in the expeditionary force, the most ordinary soldiers are corporals, you are a sergeant, that is, the captain of a squad, since you are a squad leader, then there are only ten soldiers under your command, which is normal." ”
"Ten soldiers, what's the use."
"Then you have to fight for a little more merit, if you kill the underground race, whether it is in the Cloud Dragon Empire or in the Enoldon District, it can be counted as your merit."
"How can there be so many underground races to kill, but what if I can subdue the underground races?"
"Acceptance?" Tarina was stunned for a moment, then suddenly raised her eyebrows, Huo Ran got up, and shouted: "This is impossible, unless you can make them make a soul oath, you will definitely not be able to subdue the underground race." These races are cunning and scheming, and their words cannot be taken lightly. ”
Ye Fei didn't expect her reaction to be so violent, he rubbed his hands and said, "I mean, if you can subdue them, how much merit can you get?" ”
"I know what you're up to, it's the underground race in the Kalineser Basin, right? I know you have good relationships with some of them, but I warn you that these underground races are not so easy to subdue. If you can really subdue them, even if it's just the average among them, it's enough for you to be promoted to warrant officer! The warrant officer of the Expeditionary Force can lead up to 100 soldiers of the Expeditionary Force, except when the ranged army has an emergency order, these soldiers can be called upon at your disposal. ”
"Oh?" That's not bad, but 100 ...... That's a little too little.
