Sword of Daybreaker

Whenever Gao Wen began to talk about these things involving power struggles and aristocratic games, Rebecca and Amber would have a hard time reaching a consensus and forming a combination of cute circles. In the eyes of the two girls, the intrigue between the king and the nobility. The rules of the game are really complicated and esoteric, and there is no practical use at all. Instead of studying this aspect, it is better to fight with the wolf at home, to smash the fireball/swiping the fish, stealing the wine and drinking it...

But if you think so, the two of them would not dare to speak in the face of Gao Wen. Amber should always worry that Gao Wen really used an eggplant to shoot her on the wall. Rebecca couldn’t forget the elders hanging on the beam. Horror, at this time, after listening to Gao Wen, the two people also thought about it in a decent way. Rebecca showed a thoughtful look: "So, the king is worried about the process of restarting diplomacy in Ansu and Tifeng. In the middle, is there a nobility?"

"It's almost like this."

"But why should the nobles make trouble?" Rebecca looked confused. "The war between Ansu and Tifeng can be postponed. Isn't this a good thing?"

"This is a good thing for the king. It is a good thing for the civilians, but what good is it for the aristocrats who have been divided?" Gao Wen chuckled. "The war of the king is only a routine performance obligation for most of the aristocrats. As long as the knights and crickets who brought their own dry food in the wartime are going to fight, they are fulfilling their obligations. As for the war, the winners and losers have something to do with them. If they win, the knights sent out will plunder a large fortune and meritorious service. Lost, even if it is a country, they only need to swear allegiance to the Emperor of Tifeng, their title and the fief will not change at all - at least, for many Ansu nobles, the rules of the game are the same They also don’t know that there are other rules of the game in the world."

For Gao Wen of previous life, this is an incomprehensible "rule", but Gao Wen of this world has to face up to the fact that the aristocratic war in this era is generally the carnival of the wall grass and the robbers, the nobility They may be greedy, perhaps barbaric, but they will follow the rules of the aristocratic game in unison. The war between them will rarely fight for you. In most cases, the wars of the nobility are only for the purpose of plundering wealth and land. This goal has been achieved, then everyone will immediately stop tacitly and carry out a set of customary "sweeping" process -

In the war, only a few nobles will die, and the worst end of most people is captured. No one is willing to kill the aristocratic prisoners, because these prisoners can exchange a large amount of ransom, and these ransoms are completely reasonable and legal. The most famous example is Ansu’s 576-year battle between two counties in the West. In the war that was acquiesced by the royal family, the Count of Tokbel was defeated, and even the Earl himself was captured in order to redeem himself. The lord, Tokbel, paid the equivalent of twice the gold of the Earl himself and nearly 30% of the land ownership, and after the war, the two counts and their sons and blood were all survived, the captured knights (bottom nobility) And the Baron viscounts returned safely after their families had paid enough ransom.

Except for a few unlucky aristocrats who were killed on the battlefield, the dead "only" 6,700 civilians.

Do not kill the aristocratic captives, do not completely end any "glorious surname", use the ransom to settle the war, this is the three major rules of the nobility war.

No one will destroy this rule, because this rule is implemented jointly by all nobles. It maintains the “glory” of the nobility and has ensured the stability of the country’s separatist system over the past seven hundred years.

The nobility called this war "the war of civilized people" and called it "just as graceful and decent as the duel that was witnessed before the gods." In the beginning, this rule was to prevent the establishment of an unstable human kingdom. Serious internal divisions and struggles have fallen into a quagmire, but by now, it has become a means for the nobles to demonstrate their nobleness and temperance. The aristocrats of Ansu seem to believe that even if Tifeng really hits, even if Ansu really falls If they are defeated, they can still use this set of rules to maintain their own decentness - as long as they pledge allegiance to the Emperor of Tifeng.

So they don't care what the outcome of the negotiations between the King and the King of Tifeng, they only think about whether they can get some benefits in this process, and Francis II can only put ahead in order to prevent the domestic aristocracy from being unstable. Part of the "benefit" pre-expenditure goes...

The nobles simply wouldn’t think of the purpose of the Tifeng people to attack the country. The Titan, which is in transition, is like a giant beast. This hungry behemoth cares about its own food. Not loyal to yourself?

Gao Wen glanced at the reel in Rebecca's hand and whispered softly: "Francis West admitted that I actually ruled Kant. This is just a homeopathic sentiment, and he took Kant to the east side of a royal family. As a gift, the land is hoped that the Cecil family can remain 'quiet' during the negotiation period. After all, although the Cecil family has left the kingdom power center, I myself have returned, in certain circumstances, my call Force may bring him unimaginable trouble..."

"In any case, whoever gives it to Bai," Amber summed up the meaning of the instrument in the most concise manner, and then frowned. "But the King sent a rushing messenger to send the letter too rigorous. Well... Although I don’t understand the rules of the nobility of your nobles, how can you say that this is also the transaction between the king and the Duke, at least not a ceremonial ritual?”

"The low-key delivery of a document is the only choice Francis II can make," Gao Wen laughed. "Otherwise, what do you want him to do? He was a sinister child of the royal family seven hundred years later. He came to book a hundred years ago. The ancestor-level founding father-in-law? Don't say anything else, the two men face to face during the ceremonial ceremony. Is he swearing first or not? Or are we a piece of shackles? When I met Charlie, I didn't have to salute, and he was not afraid of life."

Amber conceived the ambiguity of the scene, and suddenly took a breath: "...hey, so trouble."

"All in all, this thing will be collected first," Gao Wen waved. "I have another, more important thing. Rebecca, you know... the amount, you should not know, you are going to find Herti."

"What?" Rebecca screamed and listened. She was a little nervous when she heard that she was calling Herti. "Can you tell me about the ancestors?"

Gao Wen slanted the girl: "Tell you? Do you know the Southern Aristocratic Pedigree?"

"...oh, then I am going to find my aunt!"

Rebecca ran out of the wind and it was not long before Heti came to Gao Wen’s study.

This temperamental lady not only has outstanding beauty and internal affairs, but also is quite intelligent in the rules of the nobility and the king. When she comes in, she begins by saying: "The ancestor, the messenger should be sent by the king. What about the book?"

"Yes, the hilly land of Kant and Kant is now the Cecil family, but it doesn't matter," Gao Wen waved. "I told you to come and ask you, is there a surname in the south?" 'The aristocratic family?'

"Glan?" Hetti brows slightly, and after a brief thought, he nodded. "Yes, the Viscount of Geland in the northeast direction - ah, now the Princess of Glan is ruling the land."

"Women's prince?" Gao Wenyi raised his eyebrows and couldn't help but think of Rebecca - Rebecca is also a woman's prince. "Is the former generation of Gülen passing the title to his daughter?"

He has learned from Patti's mouth that the current Gülen family is a hostess, so there is nothing unexpected at this moment, just a little curious to ask more.

"No, the former generation of Visa is the husband of the current woman," Herty shook her head. "The former viscount suddenly died unexpectedly a few years ago. According to the will of his life, this title was passed to his will. , Roppini? Glan."

Ansu’s inheritance method is more relaxed. It is not uncommon for a husband and wife to inherit or transition. In fact, many nobles rely on savvy marriage calculations to continuously expand their family’s powers. In the case of provoking aristocratic wars, marriage is also one of the important means for the nobility to seek benefits and land.

"Ancestral ancestor, why did you suddenly inquire about the Gelan family?" Hetty was very curious about Gao Wen’s sudden mention of a noble family name that did not communicate much, and could not help but ask.

Gao Wenluo was indulged and bluntly said: "I suspect that this family has been implicated in the perpetual sleeper."

"Nest sleeper?!" Herti was shocked. She did not question the reliability of the news. She did not even ask Gao Wen how she learned the news. With great trust in her ancestors, she directly asked about the threat. The degree, "is the same situation as Kant?"

"Not sure, but they have at least one family member and a permanent sleeper," Gao Wen said with a serious expression. "This Gelang family... Has there been any abnormal change in recent years? For example, like Kant’s collar suddenly There are extra outputs, or suddenly thriving in some way."

"...nothing at all, in fact the situation is even the opposite," Hetty shook his head after thinking about it. "The Gülen family was originally prosperous. The young predecessor, Visa, was a very good person, but in a magic. In the experimental accident, the Count of Gülen accidentally passed away, and the Gelan family and the territory they ruled quickly fell down... Although the two years of the Rodriguez Marquis had controlled the situation and re-enable the territory to develop and gradually develop, but everything I can’t see the traces of cultists participating in the dark..."

Speaking of this, Herty added: "Of course, the sleeper is acting, everything is not accurate."

"I was accidentally killed in a magical experiment accident..." Gao Wen brows slowly and wrinkles. "I am going to look at the situation."

“You want to go in person?” Hetty frowned slightly. “A duke always visits the lower class in person, which doesn’t seem to be the same...”

"The rules are all set by us in the same year - and anyway, I also visited Kant's collar last time. The same is true for several Ge Lan collars." Gao Wen waved his hand. "Let's see it with your own eyes, otherwise I will not be practical. ”

"Well, I will arrange it," Herti bowed her head. "Exactly, Gülen is on the east side of Kant. After we got the new seal in the east of Kant, Cecil collar has already had contact with Gülen. ... As a new neighbor, we are not bad for a visit."
