I Want To Be a Nobleman

In the castle of the Marquis of Prague, the king and dozens of nobles sat opposite the nobles of the Land Reclamation Alliance. Harold and other knights stood behind their own nobles.

The nobles of the Land Reclamation Alliance are a little strange, what is the king doing here.

The Marquis of Prague is a legendary powerhouse who is qualified to be promoted to Grand Duke and establish a principality, and will not give the king any face at all.

Only if the king chooses to go to war can he stop the wasteland reclamation alliance's trip to the east, but facing the legendary Marquis of Prague, even if they win, they will suffer heavy casualties. It is better to let them go to the east to open up wasteland.

The king looked at the people who were at war, and said, "I'm not here to stop you, on the contrary, I represent the Kingdom of Lucanir to give you assistance and support you to open up wasteland!"

The Marquis of Prague is the leader of the wasteland reclamation alliance, and asked: "Support, how do you support it? Haven't you always been against land reclamation?"

The king smiled bitterly and said: "Is it useful for me to object? Your legs are growing on your body. If you make up your mind, it will be useless for me to stop you!"

"I stop you because of my own considerations. Humans are not a powerful race! The aborigines on the eastern land are by no means easy to deal with. If you rush to open up wasteland, if you are not careful, it will even endanger the safety of the entire kingdom!"

Bragg replied: "Then be a shrinking turtle? The number of nobles in the kingdom has been decreasing for hundreds of years. This land does not have the herbs needed to make the hero's water. We can't stay here forever!"

Hearing this, the king made a very generous promise: "I can ask the elves for help in the name of the Kingdom of Lucanir, and I can also help you contact the dwarves. You can use the minerals in the new territory as a reward to invite them to open up wasteland together!"

"I will summon the sun priests belonging to our country to set off with you, and finally, I will provide you with basic supplies for free!"

The Marquis of Prague was extremely excited after hearing this, and the success rate of land reclamation had been greatly improved. He said excitedly, "It would have been better if it had been like this earlier. Tell me, what are your conditions?"

The king took out a roll of parchment and said according to the contents of the paper, "After establishing a new country, all of you must give up the territory of Lucanir and sign an alliance treaty with the Kingdom of Lucanir!"

"No problem, that's what we thought, what else?"

"If you find the medicinal herbs for making Hero's Water, you must share some of them and sell them to us!"

"Okay, but I can't do anything without those herbs, is that all?"

The king added: "The last point, you must give us a part of the land you have obtained from land reclamation!"

The Marquis of Prague replied immediately after hearing this condition. After a moment of silence, he sneered and replied: "So that's the key! If you don't do anything, you can help contact the elves and dwarves, and you want to get a piece of the action by sending some supplies?"

"Don't even think about it! Let's go desperately, you sit and divide the land? Do you regard us as lowly mercenaries?"

The Marquis of Prague glared at the king angrily. It was impossible for him to accept the king's condition.

The king persuaded: "The specific amount of land can be discussed again, and you can also mention other support if you want!"

Prague waved his hand and directly refused: "There's no need to talk about it. If you want new land, you can open up wasteland together. Otherwise, you won't talk about it. I also warn you that if you dare to enter the eastern provinces to harass the eastern provinces, you will just wait for a war to break out!"

The negotiation broke down, and the king raised the parchment in his hand and said, "This condition is always valid, and we can talk again when you come back after hitting a wall!"

The king left with a group of nobles who completely gave up on stopping land reclamation and instead thought about how to profit from it.

Humans are not a powerful race, only a few nobles and knights have great superpowers, and ordinary soldiers and civilians are very weak compared to other races.

It's not that easy to go to the eastern land to open up territory, otherwise the kingdom would have taken the initiative to gather to open up wasteland.

However, the Marquis of Prague, who has a legendary level, is not completely without a chance to occupy a piece of land.

What a large number of nobles in the kingdom want is to let the Marquis of Prague and others lay down an outpost, and they will divide a piece of land from it and send reinforcements to seize more territory.

If the Marquis of Prague fails and is repelled by the aborigines of the eastern land, they don't have to suffer the blow, but can take the opportunity to annex the eastern province of the Marquis of Prague.

Of course, the Marquis of Prague knew what these nobles were paying attention to, and it was definitely impossible to agree. As long as they were given any territory, most of the results of land reclamation would be occupied!

A group of nobles supported the Marquis of Prague, shouting for the king to go to hell, but Marcus had a new idea.

Marcus suggested: "Although we don't accept the king's conditions, we can contact the elves and dwarves by ourselves! With their participation, the land reclamation journey will be smoother!"

The Marquis of Prague did not accept Marcus's suggestion after hearing this, and refused: "Let's first go and see how difficult it is to open up wasteland in the Eastern Land and what kind of race's territory it is. It depends on whether we can conquer it by ourselves. !"

The Marquis of Prague is quite confident after breaking through the legend. There are only two legendary powerhouses in the three human kingdoms. One is the Archduke Lance of the Chiat Kingdom, and the other is himself.

He did have the capital of self-confidence, and Marcus wisely shut up and stopped talking about the alliance. He was not qualified to dictate to the Marquis of Prague.

In addition, the Kingdom of Lucanir is a purebred human country, and the nobles, including Marcus himself, are not willing to mix with demihumans to establish a country.

The other nobles of the kingdom did not interfere with the land reclamation operation, but they did not intend to support it at all. The entire eastern province seemed to be separated from Lucanir.

Harold successfully finished reading the entire book "Muscle and Strength". In addition to the basic effect power +1, he also gained two skills.

[Great Force], strength increased by 10%, agility decreased by 10%.

[Muscle Explosion] Short-term overload burst strength, strength increase +50%, can only be used once a day.

After Harold reached level 8, no skill points or attribute points were assigned, and his strength increased to 28 with the reading, 31 points with the increase of the skill [Great Force], and his agility was reduced to 13 points.

The reason why Harold didn't add points is because his strength is already very strong now, one or two points of strength, agility, or one or two levels of [Strike] and [Running] and other skills can't increase his strength too much.

On the contrary, it is the intelligence and charisma skills that he has been neglecting before, which he prefers.

The intelligence skill [Item Management] can add 6 slots to his inventory, and now 3 of the 6 slots hold two books and a Sun Orb of unknown use.

Only three slots are really not enough, one for food, one for drink, one for treasure, and he wants to put spare armor and weapons in there.

In addition, [Coach] is also very useful. [Coach] can make his 8 troop members upgrade faster, and learn some combat skills from him.

Especially those five knight attendants, once they are upgraded again to become [Northern Rogue Knights], their strength and agility will suddenly increase to more than 20+, and their combat effectiveness is stronger than that of ordinary extraordinary knights.

[Dominion] and [Trade], which the charm belongs to, also have their own uses, especially now that you have a leader and subordinates, whether it is [coach] or [domination] are very important.

Leveling up is getting more and more difficult, and precious skill points cannot be used casually. Harold is going to add attribute points to intelligence and convert them into skill points.

Harold saved the attribute points and skill points, and added some more depending on the situation, so that there was still time to add them immediately to the battle.

He also asked Marcus about the Hero's Water by the way.

Marcus called Harold and other knights alone, told them the secrets about the hero's water and noble blood, and told them not to spread it.

The blood of nobles comes from the ancestors of heroes, but the ancestors were not born heroes. Human beings are born with weak bodies and small strength.

In order to make up for this weakness, ancient humans concocted and invented a potion called Hero's Water.

After drinking it, humans can fully stimulate their physical potential and gain powerful strength, but the aftereffects are very serious, and they will die of exhaustion 12 hours after drinking the potion.

However, if the person who drinks the potion within these 12 hours can accomplish heroic feats and obtain the gift of the sun, then not only can he avoid death, but he can also gain powerful extraordinary power, complete the transformation of bloodlines, and become a hero, and his descendants will also be saved. With the blood of a hero.

Marcus also told the story of his ancestor Erwin.

Elvin was originally a warrior of a human tribe, but because a nearby volcano always erupts irregularly, it made the people miserable.

Under the guidance of the prophet, Erwin learned that there is a powerful balrog living in the volcano, and the balrog often erupts to trigger the eruption of the volcano.

Erwin drank the hero's water and went to crusade against the Balrog. After a hard fight, he relied on luck and courage to kill the Balrog, harvested the gift of the sun, became the hero Erwin, and gained the extraordinary power of the flame!

When Harold and the others heard this, their blood boiled. No wonder the nobles are so arrogant. They really have the capital of pride. Their ancestors are all extraordinary human heroes!

According to Marcus, even after drinking the hero's water, Erwin's strength is far inferior to the Balrog. This kind of warrior who defeats the strong with the weak and fights tenaciously is definitely a real hero!

Among them, the bald head was particularly excited, and he was already fantasizing about the scene where he found the potion of Hero's Water in the East, made it and drank it, and defeated the dragon and became a hero.

The ancestors of every aristocratic family are heroes, and the power of the hero's bloodline has certain limitations. Generally, only one person in each generation of each family can awaken the bloodline.

It is very rare for two brothers of a generation like Marcus to be awakened, which also represents the proliferation and prosperity of the blood. Many times, there will be a family where none of the entire generation is awakened, and the blood is completely exhausted and reduced to a commoner.

There were 133 aristocratic families in Lucanir when the country was first founded, but now there are less than 100 left, and several families are derived from the same family like Marcus.

If things go on like this, there are no new nobles born in the country, and sooner or later the blood of the nobles will disappear completely. Therefore, the Marquis of Prague's land reclamation is not only for ambition and adventure, but also for the necessity of human development.
