Black Iron Crown

Mrs. Moreland covered her face with tears streaming down her face and crossed her chest. She clasped her hands together and said to Reiner's dead father, "Did you see Clark, our son has become an earl! Our family Finally, I have a distinguished title!"

The Molande family has been hiding in the northern border for about a hundred years, and their strength has always been half-dead. They didn't even participate in the unification war more than ten years ago.

In contrast, this is a weak and unknown family. Apart from the ridiculous glory of the Merland family that some family members regard for themselves and are completely ignored by others, there is no bright spot to speak of.

Now, this situation has finally changed. The Moreland family has gradually become stronger under the management of Reiner, and now it has even received the admiration and affirmation of the royal family. This makes them ecstatic.

Reiner was a little stunned when he heard Brother Ryder's words. This was too surprising. He never thought before that the royal family would be so generous as to give him the title of Earl.

It is true that titles are not extremely precious, and in the end it all depends on the strength of the owner. However, being able to own such a title represents a kind of affirmation of oneself?

Finally, an incomparably bright smile appeared on Reiner's face, and he restrained the ecstasy in his heart and said to Brother Ryder, "I'm really grateful to my relatives for their generosity. This was originally my duty!"

"Please rest assured Brother Ryder, I will find enough lords in the shortest possible time to witness this canonization ceremony!"

"Very good! In addition, the royal family intends to transfer all the lords of the entire northern border to you. The future Earl Rainer, I hope you can lead them to completely defeat Earl Zhebo, a traitorous official, and bring the northern border back to life." Come into the hands of the Empire!"

Brother Ryder's old and hoarse voice was highly recognizable. After hearing these words, the banquet hall, whose voice had been slightly lowered, suddenly became noisy again.

As a person who achieved enlightenment and ascended to heaven, as a vassal under Leiner's command, how could they not take a sip of soup after Leiner benefited?

What's more, the Molande family is strong, which means that they become more powerful when they are attached to the Molande family.

"Congratulations, the future Earl Reiner, our lord!" Some noble men knelt on one knee and said to Reiner with a smile.

"Please get up! My relatives and subjects! Please get up!" Reiner showed an apologetic expression to Brother Ryder and Sir Horn, and then said loudly to everyone in the hall.

After comforting them well,

It was only then that calm gradually returned.

Reiner, who returned to his seat, showed a helpless smile: "People in our small place have never seen the world, please don't mind!"

Brother Ryder chuckled and didn't speak. In his opinion, bumpkins in places like the northern border should be like this.

Sir Horn waved his hand to indicate that it was okay.

As soon as the news that Reiner was about to be canonized as an earl came out, the atmosphere at the banquet became even more heated. After pushing and changing glasses, an unknown number of people got drunk at the table.

The banquet ended late at night, and Reiner returned to the room excitedly, changing into a nightgown with great excitement.

He was a little insomnia, and the happiness came so suddenly that he was not prepared for it.

"It is detected that the lord will have a higher title, and the stage rewards will be issued after the official canonization!"

The sound of the system suddenly appeared in Leiner's ears, but Leiner was not too surprised, but opened the system panel with ease, ready to check what the stage rewards were.

"Stage Rewards:"

"Title: Earl"

"Rewards: 50 square kilometers of plains suitable for farming, 50 square kilometers of fertile pastures, 500 merit points, 300 new population, a third-level castle upgrade card"

Reiner took a deep breath after reading it. The new population of 300 is not a big deal. The population of the two villages is just a very expensive reward, but it is not as good as 50 square kilometers of plains suitable for farming and Fifty square kilometers of fertile pastures are nothing compared to that.

Fifty square kilometers of arable plains represent fertile land that is about the same size as the area controlled by the entire Moreland family. As long as it is reclaimed, it is almost fertile farmland at the same time.

This also means that in the future, the grain output of Fort Moreland can be increased by two to three times. More grain means more population, and more population means stronger power.

The same 50 square kilometers of fertile pastures means that Leiner can raise thousands of oxen, or hundreds of cattle, or hundreds of excellent war horses, which are the source of wealth and meat for the territory.

The castle upgrade card is slightly inferior in comparison. The third-level upgrade card is indeed valuable, but now Leiner's Morland Castle is just at the first level, and it needs to be upgraded again to be able to use it. For a bundled consumption, the castle must be upgraded to level two before the castle upgrade card can be used.

Well, Leiner decided not to let the system's tricks succeed, unless his merit points can't be spent, or the system gives another upgrade for free, otherwise, Leiner intends to let this upgrade card stay in the warehouse forever.

In the early morning of the next day, Reiner couldn't wait to stare at a dark circle under his eyes. Under the service of two little maids, he got dressed and rushed into the study.

He was so excited last night that he fell asleep drowsily until dawn, but woke up in the early morning.

Reiner was sitting on a chair, holding a pen vigorously, writing and drawing on the parchment.

He was writing an invitation. The fact that he was canonized as an earl didn't need to be witnessed by more people to be more authoritative, not to mention Brother Ryder also said that the royal family planned to transfer all the northern lords to him.

In other words, a group of people will be my vassals next, and of course I have to invite them to swear allegiance to me.

In this way, Reiner wrote one letter after another, put it in an envelope, sealed it with wax, stamped his coat of arms with a coat of arms ring, and handed over the letters to all the subordinates to send out.

Reiner didn't do anything else this morning, so he wrote these letters. Twenty-five lords, that's twenty-five letters.

The average letter is more than 300 words, adding up to a workload of 6,000 to 7,000 words, which made his wrists feel a little stiff after the whole morning, but Reiner didn't care about the little fatigue.

What is this compared to the title that is about to be obtained?

In this way, Reiner wrote all the letters in the morning, and one by one, the subordinates or mounted archers ran away from the castle with Reiner's belief, heading for the destination they needed to send the letter to.

At the same time, another grand banquet was being prepared. It was absolutely impossible to invite so many people and confer knight titles.
