Chapter 26 Arriving at the Royal Capital

Ron shook his head to express his ignorance.

Viscount Gordon pointed out the difference between the two, "For example, you and I are both fiefdoms and have our own territory within the kingdom."

"Although honorary lords are also nobles, they do not have their own territory. They can only be attached to a certain fiefdom lord, and they can also serve in the palace."

Speaking of this, Viscount Gordon frowned and asked: "I remember that the Arnold family has a knight named Abel Guy. He is an honorary knight. Why didn't he come with you?"

Ron was startled, no wonder Abel had a surname, he turned out to be a minor nobleman. He said perfunctorily: "I didn't ask him to come. Uncle, please continue talking."

"Well, there is the most important point between the two. Landlords can be inherited, but honorary knights cannot. Most honorary knights are people who have made meritorious services, mostly businessmen, scholars and soldiers."

The topic stopped here, and Ron spoke at the right time: "Businessmen who value profit can provide economic help to the kingdom, scholars who value literature can propose better governance plans, and soldiers who value loyalty are the best shields and spears."

"It may be a good way to recruit talents with titles, but uncle, what does what you are talking about have to do with paying taxes?"

Viscount Gordon nodded silently and said with a smile: "The territory's tax-paying palace will send close officials to verify taxes. The people sent are different every year. Sometimes they are fiefdoms, and sometimes they are honorary lords."

"Arnold's territory and my territory are far away from the king's capital. In most cases, fiefdoms are not willing to come to such remote places. If they are honorary lords, it will be much easier to deal with."

Upon hearing this, Ron showed a look of astonishment. As the saying goes, the mountain is high and the emperor is far away. No matter how much you raise taxes, you will only give a small amount when the time comes and wait for someone to verify it before making any response.

Seeing that Ron understood, Viscount Gordon showed a teachable expression and continued: "I'm going to teach you how to deal with the feudal lords and honorary lords. Please listen carefully. This is my experience over the years!"

Ron was very discerning and poured tea for Viscount Gordon, "Uncle, please elaborate."

——

The two chatted alone for a long time, and Ron benefited a lot. Although Viscount Gordon was very kind to him, that was only for him. Viscount Gordon was actually an old fox, doing things in the same way. Ron was amazed.

Now he has no worries about paying taxes. Just raise the tax rate and give him an extra copper coin. I will lose.

Late at night.

"Lord Baron, this is your room. My name is Babel. I will always be guarding the door. If you need anything, please feel free to ask me."

Ron was led to the bedroom by the servants of the mansion, walked in and lay down on the bed, "This time I accidentally came to Viscount Gordon's Mansion as a guest, and I got very useful information. I really should thank Viscount Gordon."

During the conversation just now, Ron had figured out the attributes of Viscount Gordon's entries. The first one is self-evident, which is to increase the water magic talent.

The second one is very strong, Ron thinks it is more powerful than other people's green entries.

[More children, more blessings (green): The more direct descendants, the greater the blessings. Current luck value: 2 points]

——

The two points of luck that Viscount Gordon had were his two children. Ron wondered if he should give a hint to Viscount Gordon and his wife to have more children.

After all, Viscount Gordon was so kind to him, so he had to repay him.

In his wandering thoughts, Ron gradually fell into a deep sleep. When he opened his eyes again, it was already the next morning.

"Lord, please wash up."

Veronica was waiting by the bed with a basin in her hands. Ron took the towel from her hand and asked casually: "Where are Sig and the others? Were they okay yesterday?"

"Knight Sig and the others are competing with the knights from the Viscount Palace. Nothing happened." Veronica waited for Ron to finish washing, then took back the towel and put it aside.

"Oh? Let's go and have a look."

Ron was surprised. Logically speaking, Viscount Gordon was an enemy in their hearts. Without his warning, there would definitely be trouble, especially with Sig's restless character.

Could it be that Thomas persuaded him to stop?

The two came to an open space in the mansion and saw a group of knights watching the competition. Thomas's voice came from far away.

"Sig, stand up, don't lose to that guy! Don't embarrass the lord!"

The atmosphere was lively. Ron raised his eyebrows and stepped forward quickly. The people around him were focused on the outcome of the fight and did not notice him.

On the field, Seager's opponent was a knight aged 27 or 8. He said in a very plain tone: "You have broken through to the second level at such a young age, and you have great potential. But you are not my opponent now. Defeat me!"

sough.

There seemed to be a hurricane blowing around the man, and the air flow kept spinning around, converging on his sword and stabbing towards Sig.

On the other side, Sig had exhausted all his strength in the previous fight and now had no strength to parry. Faced with this blow, he knew that he could not block it, but he still clenched his sword with firm eyes and faced it head-on without retreating.

"Stop!"

At this time, a majestic voice came from behind everyone.

Everyone heard the news and went away, only to see Viscount Gordon and Viscountess Tiffany walking quickly.

"Lord Lord."

"Lord Viscount."

The knights saluted one after another, and the two dueling men also put away their swords and saluted in that direction, but Viscount Gordon ignored him and came to Ron and said with a smile: "I'll tell someone to call you in your room. I didn’t expect you to come here so early in the morning to watch the excitement.”

At this time, everyone noticed that Baron Arnold was also among the crowd. Thomas and the others were nervous, and Sig looked even more sad. The Lord must have seen the scene just now, and he was defeated again.

"Uncle just asked me to tell the servants to pass the message, why bother to come in person." Ron smiled.

Tiffany smiled and said: "Baron Arnold is leaving soon. He is reluctant and wants to stay a little longer. My two children have never seen him so close."

Viscount Gordon smiled awkwardly but politely, "Madam, you really know how to joke."

Ron smiled and said nothing.

"Nephew, you are about to set off. After breakfast, I will send a team of knights to escort you."

Viscount Gordon was still worried and selected a group of powerful knights to join Ron's team and go to the royal capital together.

Coincidentally, among them was the knight who had just defeated Sig.

After a simple breakfast, Ron said goodbye to Viscount Gordon and embarked on his journey again. The entire team has thirteen more knights than before, all of whom are powerful knights under Viscount Gordon.

More than ten days passed quickly. Because he checked into a hotel every day, Ron did not experience the joy of adventurer camping along the way.

However, I met several bandits who blocked the road and saw more than a dozen knights in full armor. They immediately gave way and let them pass without any challenge.

Ron and his party arrived at King Carlo's capital without any danger.

"Lord Baron Arnold, while you are in the royal capital, we will stay here. After you have finished handling the matter, we will escort you back. Also, I have sent someone to deliver a message to Master Michel. Next, Michel will Master Er is looking for you."

After arriving at the royal capital, Viscount Gordon said to a knight named Darren sent to accompany him.

Ron smiled and nodded, "Thank you all along the way."

Darren bowed slightly and said: "Your Majesty, the Baron, is serious. Let's go find a place to stay first, and we will send you the news when we are sure. I wish the Lord Baron a smooth trip."

The other knights behind him saluted Ron neatly and then left.

Thomas sighed in his heart. He had admired these knights very much along the way. Putting aside their strength and loyalty, their temperament was indeed far superior to those on his side.

When you get back, you must have a chat with Captain Abel to straighten out the discipline.

Ron looked at Marvin, handed him a document and ordered: "Marvin, go to the palace to submit an application for knighthood."

"Yes, Lord." Marvin reached out to take it and left quickly as ordered.

After settling the business matters, Ron was able to take a look at the scenery of the royal capital.
