From Baron's Second Son to Dragon Rider

After agreeing to adopt the little guy, Veronica's mood improved a little.

"From today on, your name is Eagle."

Veronica nodded the head of the light brown griffon cub and gave it the names of its griffin partners who had died in the previous battle.

Theoretically, after being promoted to a fantasy beast knight, you can no longer make contracts with other fantasy beasts, even if the fantasy beast partner you fought alongside has passed away.

But this does not include the Dragon Knight.

After the Dragon Knight merges with the dragon, it has become a unique semi-magical creature, so if its fantasy beast partner dies, it can contract again.

It's just that this is just a simple contract, and there is no such thing as relying on the phantom beast to break through.

Breaking through the fantasy beast knight actually uses the magic power of the fantasy beast to transform his own fighting spirit and body. As long as the transformation is successful, the knight himself can generate the fighting spirit of the fantasy beast.

Therefore, even if the fantasy beast dies, the knight can still maintain his combat effectiveness.

The same goes for dragons.

Veronica did not sign a contract with Eagle, she simply wanted to keep this little guy to commemorate her lost partner.

Perhaps when she completely lets go of the past, this new "Eager" will get a chance to make a contract.

"I am very satisfied with your gift, Baron Clobber. You have once again proved your loyalty and ability."

Archduke Veronica pulled out her sword and said to Krober:

"Now, kneel down to me."

Krober then knelt down on one knee and accepted the honor as a knight.

"Klobo. Amethyst Rose, conquered the Holy Beast Island, subdued the griffins, and opened up territory for the principality.

Here, the title of Viscount is specially given to you. You will have the right to create a new surname and the right to name two islands. "

Putting the long sword on Krober's shoulder, Veronica recited the ancient oath of enfeoffment.

"Now, Viscount Clober, tell me what you want to use as your new family name and how you want to name your two islands."

Krober raised his head and said to Veronica:

"My beloved lord, I will use my newly discovered magic potion Amethyst Rose as the new surname of my family. The newly discovered Holy Beast Island will be renamed Amethyst Island, and the name of Black Feather Island will remain unchanged."

Grand Duke Veronica nodded:

"Very good. From now on, your titles will be Baron of Black Feather Island and Viscount of Amethyst Island. You must continue to respect my rule and maintain the majesty of the principality."

After saying that, Veronica tapped the long sword in her hand three times on Krober's shoulder, and handed the Viscount Medal that she had already prepared to Krober.

"This is a piece of magic equipment. Engraving your emblem on it will automatically add a new family to the noble pedigree of the principality, the Amethyst Rose Family."

Veronica patted Krober on the shoulder as an encouragement.

"Practice well, Viscount Clober, strength is the most important thing."

After giving the sincere instructions to Krober, Grand Duke Veronica talked about business with Krober.

"As for what you said about banning the second expedition to the New World, I will order a ban on their ocean voyages.

But this is not because of your request, but because we will soon have a war. "

After listening to Archduke Veronica's words, Krober felt bad.

war.

It may be a good thing for others, increasing fiefdoms, gaining glory, and making a fortune.

But it’s not a good thing for Klober.

He is currently no more powerful than a great knight, and may still be a high-ranking nobleman outside.

On a battlefield where the country is the unit, a great knight is better than a large soldier, cannon fodder, or a formal knight.

At best it can be considered an elite unit.

Although there is an unwritten rule among nobles not to kill prisoners, this is not a reason for him to take risks.

Swords have no eyes, and those guys with red eyes don't care whether you are a noble or not. They are only thinking about killing enemies and making meritorious deeds, and tearing apart soil and making nobles.

The Great Knight may be able to protect himself, but there are certainly many risks.

"Your Excellency, who are we going to war with? Xilong?"

Krober thought about the surroundings of the Golden Duchy and found that there were no other enemies except the Xilong in the west.

Since there are no enemies, who does the Grand Duke plan to go to war with?

Veronica set her sights on the north, which was the direction of the Emerald Kingdom ruled by her royal brother.

"It's not us, it's the Emerald Kingdom that is at war with the Orichalcum Kingdom. As a vassal state of the Emerald Kingdom, we naturally have to fulfill our duties and go to the battlefield to fight for our overlord country."

Krober understood when he heard this.

The Orichalcum Kingdom, located northwest of the Emerald Kingdom, is a very pure inland military country.

It is powerful and has conquered several small principalities with its strong military strength. After annexing them, its overall strength now ranks among the top three among the Seven Kingdoms.

The Jade Kingdom is a typical coastal commercial country with a large population, strong high-end strength, and wealth.

However, due to the lack of unity within the kingdom, and due to frequent internal strife, the overall strength is far weaker than that of the Orichalcum Kingdom.

It is said that during the last great turmoil, the strength of the Emerald Kingdom dropped all the way, almost falling out of the Seven Kingdoms and becoming the weakest kingdom.

Fortunately, Archduke Veronica's brother, the contemporary Emerald King Alves I, is wise and powerful.

He can support a building that is about to collapse, turn the tide before it falls, and reintegrate the country with its own powerful strength and iron-blooded means at critical moments.

Externally, he started a diplomatic relationship with the Blazing Steel Kingdom, which was the second weakest military power at that time.

He strengthened the trade and diplomatic relations between the two sides, signed a military mutual assistance treaty, and became allies, so that both sides could keep each other warm.

Internally, he worked hard to govern the country, not only strictly liquidated the nobles who had participated in the rebellion before, confiscated their property and fiefdoms, and turned around to use their wealth to cultivate the next generation of the kingdom.

Not only that, he also opened the door to convenience and founded the Civilian Knight School, which increased the combat power of the kingdom.

After decades of governance, the Emerald Kingdom has recovered most of its vitality and ranks fourth among the seven kingdoms.

Krober had a good impression of this Alvis I. Just the fact that he opened a school was enough to make Krober admire him.

For those civilians who joined the Knight School, all food and accommodation were borne by the kingdom, and low-level breathing methods were provided free of charge for practice. Of course, it was limited to the content of the apprentice knight stage.

But that was also very good.

The soldiers under Krober had to accumulate military merits before they could redeem it.

Moreover, after graduating from the Knight School, the civilians can choose to join the Kingdom Army, and at that time, a special person will talk to you.

If you are willing to join the Kingdom, you can get the lower half of the low-level breathing method you practiced by signing a contract for 50 years.

Of course, the content of the breathing method must be kept secret, and the magic contract signed has this effect.

If it is secretly revealed, a magician on the Kingdom side will find it and report it to the king.

At that time, you will have to face the anger of the dragon knight.

That is the way to break through the formal knight, and no one will refuse such an opportunity.

Even Krober was struggling to find a way to break through, so he can understand how important a complete low-level breathing method is to these guys.

That is why Krober admires the wisdom of Alvis I.

Even with his modern knowledge, he must praise Alvis's method as absolutely beyond this era.

He can already foresee the scene of various countries vying to imitate and establish schools.

"I understand, Your Excellency, I will be ready for war and wait for your orders at any time."

This sentence is purely a show of loyalty. He is a great knight, but he has no people and no strength. He can help the Grand Duke as long as he doesn't cause trouble.

Grand Duke Veronica rolled his eyes at Krober.

"You should practice well. I will take the nobles of the Principality who are stronger than the Earth Knight to the battlefield.

You are responsible for building the territory and improving your own cultivation. After breaking through the Earth Knight, consider participating in the war."

Grand Duke Veronica rejected Krober's "good intentions". She didn't want to take her little rose to the battlefield to die.

In the national war, there are multiple dragon knights, and she doesn't have the extra energy to take care of her little rose.
