Sean has really seriously thought about becoming a lord.

He thought about it for more than half a month, and every day he was constantly thinking about the possibility of this matter, and even formulated many plans for this, and even frantically excavated all the game materials about the "lord" in the brain memory storage area. But it's a pity that in the game, he was a member of the strategy team, not the management team, so the relevant information he came into contact with was basically related to various strategies, and he would come into contact with some background settings in the game, and most of them were going to the game strategy plot.

On the other hand, any plot, characters, and locations that have nothing to do with dungeons, quests, treasures, job transfers, etc., Sean is basically in a state of discoloration.

At that time, in the game, he also said that this was a specialization in the art industry, and he has always been proud of it. But now......

Sean really hated himself for not being an all-round wizard.

And the only clue he could think of about how to become a lord was to become a pioneer knight.

This is a well-known lord quest in "Miracle", of course, compared to those ways to obtain the territory through hidden quests, the process of this quest is actually very troublesome and difficult.

First of all, the Pioneer Knight is just an identity, not a profession, which means that the person with this status can send troops to fight in the name of the feudal lord and expand the territory for the feudal lord. Although these territories nominally belong to the feudal lord, in fact, the jurisdiction over this territory is on the pioneer knights, and how much territory they can lay depends on the strength of the pioneer knights themselves.

But even so, you can't become a lord.

The so-called lord, that means that it has officially entered the aristocratic system of a country. The pioneer knight is not a nobleman, even if he has more territory, he can't become a lord, although he has jurisdiction within the territory, but he is not actually recognized by the country to which the lord belongs, so he will naturally not be recognized by the state. At the beginning, it was jokingly called "a mercenary group with a larger base" in the game. Hence how to get a title of nobility. This becomes the second step in this task, and it is also the most important step.

The quickest way to do this is to cede a portion of the territory to the Lord, thus giving up a knighthood directly, but this is the least desirable because the territory ceded is not determined by the player, but by the Lord. The second approach. It's more troublesome, and that's to exchange friendship or military exploits for knighthood.

After obtaining the title of nobility, although it is not yet an official lord, it is at least recognized as an identity. In a well-established country, a recognized status is naturally of great importance, which means that the decree of the territory can be amended. You can even qualify for the kingdom's trade routes, recognize all the resources in your realm, and even avoid many unnecessary wars.

After having the status of "Pioneer Knight" and the title of "Sir", any act of expanding the territory will be considered legalized, and then as long as the "Sir" becomes a "Baron" through a series of appropriate actions, it will become a full-fledged field nobleman with a fief, and then continue to climb the ranks in the aristocratic system. It's just that this title of nobility is lifelong rather than hereditary, which means that this territory is won by itself. It cannot be inherited by future generations. When he dies, the territory becomes the property of the lord.

And it is not impossible to break this limitation, and another war is enough.

Sean had figured this out. All that's left is to pick a suitable owner. In fact, a lord can be found in any country on the Miracle Continent, even if it is Durune, he can canonize Sean as a pioneer knight, and even immediately give him the title of knight, enjoying the same reputation and status as Fregan - as long as Sean wants to.

But would Sean be willing?

Not to mention that his current dislike for Du Ruen is directly bursting, let's talk about the internal stability of the Kingdom of Portoroa, it is absolutely impossible for any war and conflict to break out, even if there is, it is impossible to wipe out a nobleman, and even the encroached territory will eventually spit out through the negotiation table, which is not what Sean wants. So after careful consideration, Sean's eyes were finally locked on the Duchy of Lane, and even the lord had already been confirmed.

Silver Sword Queen, Thundering Valkyrie, Flower of the Duchy of Lane, Marquis of Tonys, Holy Wall Roald. The jewel of Commander G. Evans, Asuna G. Evans.

This woman was a woman of real learning, and she did not rely on the power of her family, but at the age of sixteen she left the family and went to serve as a pioneer knight under another lord, and then spent four years climbing from a pioneer knight to the title of baroness. At the age of twenty, Asuna had conquered the equivalent of an earldom, but she had exchanged her territory with a viscount in the frontier region, and then used the viscount's domain as a basis for development, while claiming that the Anglodar Mountains would be incorporated into the Duchy of Lane.

This mountain range is shared by the Duchy of Ryan and the Kingdom of Dabiang, and it has been surveyed to have black crystal ore that can be mined for a hundred years, which is one of the necessary materials for making high-quality equipment, and even some demonic weapons need to be used, so the value of this mountain range can be imagined. At that time, two-thirds of the mountain range was located in the territory of the Duchy of Lane, and the other third was owned by the Kingdom of Dabiang, and the part with the richest mineral deposits was within the territory of the Kingdom of Dabiang, so it is conceivable that Asuna's claim could not be recognized.

And Asuna is also very simple, after spending a year to rectify the territory, she directly sent troops to the kingdom of Dabiang. In the first three months of the war, Asuna's terrible military talent finally shocked both the Kingdom of Dabion and the Duchy of Lane, because at this time Asuna fought completely with her own private soldiers, but in just three months, Asuna broke the territory of one count, three viscounts, and fourteen barons of the Kingdom of Dabiang, and its territory area was equivalent to one-tenth of the Duchy of Lane.

After seeing Asuna's talent, Commander Roald immediately sent his own private army to reinforce his daughter, and then began to use his power to officially increase Asuna's troops, which completely turned into a war between the two countries. Asuna was appointed commander of the war zone, and then in the three-year war, Asuna killed and captured a total of five commanders of the kingdom of Dabiang, two of whom were even veteran commanders who had become famous for a long time. Not to mention the other nobles who were defeated at her hands.

So far. The kingdom of Dabion finally conceded defeat.

And Asuna did something unexpected to everyone at this time, in addition to keeping the surrounding areas of the Anglodara Mountains, she returned all the other territories to Dabiang, knowing that the territory occupied by Asuna at that time was equivalent to a Duchy of Lane. Asuna's approach naturally caused countless people to be dissatisfied in the principality, but Asuna didn't care, and directly put all the materials looted from Dabiang into the construction of a fortress.

A year later. A giant war fortress "Tonys" in the Anglodar Mountains was built. This fortress held the main road of Dabion to the Duchy of Lyne, and was called the "Left Gateway of the Duchy of Lyne" with the fortress of St. Droens garrisoned by the commander of Roald, and the entire Anglodar Mountains were unceremoniously incorporated into her territory by Asuna, which was exactly the size of a marquisate.

So, Asuna, who was twenty-five years old at the time. He became the youngest marquis of the Duchy of Lane, the Marquis of Tonys. However, at this point, she gave up the inheritance of the Rowan family's ancestry, and began to live as a side branch, and broke away from the jurisdiction of the original feudal lord, and became a hereditary marquis recognized by the Lane Kingdom.

Now that Asuna is only twenty-six, she is already one of the most important figures in the Principality of Lane.

Moreover, she is not only extremely capable of military affairs, but she is also a sixth-order master herself. The swordsmanship is also very exquisite. At least she has three high-level swordsmanship inheritance tasks on her. Sean is also a swordsman now, and he is considering pursuing this direction in the future. Therefore, taking into account all factors, it is most suitable to become a pioneer knight under Asuna.

Of course, the main reason is that the Duchy of Lane is in war all year round, and there is no shortage of directions to open up there. From the left portal to Tonys, it is the Kingdom of Dabiang, although there is no war between the Kingdom of Dabiang and the Duchy of Lane now, but Sean knows that it will not be long before the two countries will break out into war, which is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to make military achievements and expand the territory.

And the right portal of St. Des. Ros. Fortress out of the Lu, is the land of black soil. As long as the spark of revival can be found, the land can be restored to a vast and fertile land. And in that land, there is also one of the six holy cities in the world.

The ideal country of the earth. Utopia.

It used to be the territory of the guild that Sean had signed up with in the game.

If Sean had any regrets, it was that the territory was later breached, and the entire fortress was destroyed, which was a pain in the hearts of all players in the guild at that time. So since he decided to become a lord, Sean wanted to take that territory back again, and he also swore in his heart that he must defend this territory this time, so that the flag in his heart will always fly on the utopia this time.

Faced with Sean's attitude of being so determined to become a lord, Alfred and Cecilia could not continue to persuade them, so they could only start to prepare separately. In fact, Alfred himself did not have much opinion, because he could finally be with his daughter, although the next journey may be bitter and tiring, but Alfred is actually full of hope, at least better than the previous despair.

It's just that he's not sure if Sheena can endure hardship, after all, her living conditions have really improved a lot in recent years.

When the three of them came down from the second floor, they saw the first floor of the Warm Breeze House Hotel, and there were many people coming. There were nearly thirty of them, and each of them was not a stranger, although Sean couldn't name them, but at least they had fought together - all the survivors of the Tindesberg Civil War were all present at this moment, and although Sean and these people were not strange, he was also very curious about the reason for these people's arrival. (To be continued.) )
