Chapter 467: Coming Home

Although Harvest City is a small city in the Principality of Kamai, in the Holy Continent, this city is an extremely ordinary city, and in this city, there is no other teleportation circle except for the teleportation circle of the Blacksmith Guild.

The Blacksmiths Guild had already started cleaning before dawn this morning, and Senior Blacksmith Jules, the director of the Guild, received a notice from the General Guild yesterday that important personnel from the Blacksmiths Guild would come to Harvest City through the teleportation circle, and they must be prepared to receive them.

Therefore, he commanded the entire Blacksmith Guild to clean up both servants and blacksmiths very early, and spared every corner of the Blacksmith Guild to be as spotless as possible.

In the morning, Viscount Dickens, the lord of Harvest City, was already standing in the courtyard of the Blacksmiths' Guild with four high-ranking knights, who had come for the sole purpose of waiting for the city's new master, an Earl.

Of course, the notice was given directly by Duke Ernest of the Kingdom of St. Alice, and Viscount Dickens did not know which earl it was, but in the previous news he could know that it would definitely not be any earl of the Duchy of Kamai.

There are very few counts in the Principality of Kamai, and they are basically members of the royal family, and such a fief does not seem to be the tradition of the Principality of Kamai, because the tradition of the Principality of Kamai is stinginess, extreme stinginess, as if every title and fief is digging up the flesh and blood of the king.

In particular, this notice was issued directly by Duke Ernest of the Kingdom of St. Ellis, and according to Viscount Dickens's estimate, it is likely that some big man was punished and exiled here.

So today is the time for the new earl to come to receive the fief, and the city lord Viscount Dickens has long decided to leave the city with his family after handing over the seal of the city lord, which is his choice.

If Viscount Dickens stays in Harvest City, then his family will become a vassal of the new Earl, a vassal of an exiled Earl from the Kingdom of St. Alice, which is not what he wants to see, and it is something that almost all the inheritance nobles do not want to see.

Therefore, after hearing that this harvest city was given to an earl, almost most of the inheritance nobles chose the method of exchanging the territory of the Kingdom of St. Alice, and exchanged the family's territory to other cities.

Although there will be losses due to various reasons, this time the St. Ellis Kingdom has made a rare effort to minimize this loss, so after seeing this situation, more inheritance nobles chose to leave Harvest City.

A territory with no special products can only produce grain, and the grain produced will be forcibly purchased by the Principality of Kamai, and the profit is extremely low, which is also one of the reasons why the inheritance nobles want to replace the territory and leave this very barren land although it is called a granary.

Of course, there are also some stubborn inheritance nobles, who are reluctant to leave the inheritance land, and soon an undercurrent surges, and the terrible intelligence organization of the Kingdom of St. Ellis begins to act.

The family of the inheritance nobles who stayed behind was warned by the Kingdom of St. Alice, and some dirty things in the past were dug up one after another, and various means were brought out, so that these inheritance nobles learned one thing, that is, if they chose to stay, the family would be gone!

And the kingdom of St. Ellis seems to be doing a loss-making business, after the empire exchanged the land, all the land in Harvest City was given to Earl Abel, and after Abel gave him a fief, he stayed in Leante City for ten days, and Harvest City had no inheritance nobles.

That's right, this is Abel's final choice, a territory without inheritance nobles, a clean territory, a fief completely controlled by him, he doesn't like to have so many subordinate nobles in his own territory, although these subordinate nobles have to hand in a certain amount of output and provide him with force.

But as a wizard, how could Abel look at these at most intermediate knights, and the highest will not cross the army of senior knights, he wants a knight army, and there is a way.

Therefore, the Kingdom of St. Ellis hid Abel's identity, and when notifying the Duchy of Kamai and Harvest City, it only used the title of Lord Earl, and did not mention his name, which also made all the nobles in Harvest City think that the new owner of the city was a count who was abandoned by the Kingdom of St. Alice.

Although the nobles of Harvest City did not know why this Lord Earl was exiled to the southernmost part of the entire Holy Continent, a city with almost no decent minerals and special products except for the victory of grain, they thought that they were nothing more than the losers in the struggle between some nobles, and they were arranged to a place where the victors did not even want to see them.

This kind of nobleman with the title of earl may not worry about life for a day, but he will never have a day to come out, and if the victor uses some small means from time to time, then in a small country like the Duchy of Kamai, no nobleman can withstand the calculations of the great nobles from the suzerain, the kingdom of St. Ellis.

This is the most important reason why many nobles fled from here, the nobles did not like to tie their families to a disadvantaged earl, but fortunately the kingdom of St. Ellis was very humane, or according to the nobles of Harvest City, completely isolated the exiled earl.

The Kingdom of St. Ellis is willing to help the inheritance nobles who want to leave Harvest City to replace their fiefs, and Viscount Dickens is the first inheritance nobles to agree to the exchange, and his fief is replaced to another city with a very good output, of course, the premise is to leave the elite team of Harvest City knights who have always been regarded by him as a private army.

The four high-ranking knights he brought with him today were the four deputy commanders of the elite team of knights of Harvest City, but when he was about to welcome the new earl, his mind began to sober up a little.

Is it just to isolate an exiled earl at such a cost?

Could it be that he made the wrong choice? This question arose in Viscount Dickens's mind for the first time, but soon his attention was attracted by the white light on the teleportation circle of the Blacksmiths Guild, and he forgot about it for a while.

"We're home!" Although Abel's body still flashed with the white light of the teleportation circle, it didn't stop him from breathing deeply into the air here.

"Is this the master's home?" Bartoli, dressed in a burqa, feels the same sense of everything here, if there is no accident, this will also be her home, and perhaps her home for the next ten thousand years!

"Yes, this is our future home, I will build this place into the most powerful territory in the whole continent, and I will not let anyone bully me again!" The air here seemed to be filled with the fragrance of grain, which made Abel, who had been wandering for a long time, full of nostalgia, and he muttered in an affirmative tone.

Coming out of the teleportation circle, he and Bartoli all walked out, and Black Wind and Chocobo were all included in the Space Beast Ring, and of course Bai Yun and Feiyan were also among them.

Viscount Dickens's eyes widened, he didn't expect that when he came out of the teleportation circle, it would be Abel who appeared in front of him, Abel walked out of Harvest City, and his name was known to women and children in Harvest City.

Viscount Dickens's eyes swept over Abel's chest, where there were three badges shining in the rising sun, although he had never seen the blacksmith grandmaster's badge, but only from the eyes of the senior blacksmith Jules beside him who looked at the badge enthusiastically, he could know that it was the legendary blacksmith grandmaster badge.

Next to the Blacksmith Grandmaster's Badge is a Single Staff Badge, which is a wizard's badge, and is an official wizard's badge, if it is an ordinary noble, especially a nobleman in such a remote area, he may have never seen it, or even heard of it.

But Viscount Dickens is different, as a rare nobleman with a high rank in the Principality of Kamai, he knows the wizard's badge, which is the most powerful combat force in the Principality of Kamai, and it is the force that guards the Principality of Kamai.

And this kind of guardian power, as far as he knows, there are only three, and the Abel in front of him has become that kind of existence.

Next to the wizard's coat of arms was a noble coat of arms, a count of dragon coats of arms, but this count was the most inconspicuous of the three.

Viscount Dickens felt a little dizzy because he saw the earl's badge, which meant that the earl he was waiting for today was Earl Aearl, and Earl Aearl would also become the new owner of the land.
