Lord of Lowland

Chapter 228 Kingdom System

After Cecil finished talking to the earl, he left the earl's room and walked to the hall where the earl lived. Sitting in the middle of the hall was the earl's daughter Ophelia. She hadn't seen him for several months. Ou Feilina's expression became more and more majestic as her cultivation level improved.

Cecil went up to say hello to Ofelina. After not seeing him for several months, Ofelina saw Cecil very enthusiastically: "Hello, Cecil, no, Baron Cecil, a few months ago Time, you are famous far and wide, I have heard of your name in the capital, and even the small towns on the northern border of you have faintly threatened the central position of Raeira City in the province of Samara, you are a bit too much Yes, it is said that the Knights of the Blood Eagle have some complaints about you. The city of Raeira itself is a remote and wild place. As a result, the development of your city has caused some merchants to move to your small town. They seem very dissatisfied. "

Cecil smiled shyly. The king of Sololand is powerful. Under the proxy system, the territories of the nobles generally only have farms, and the cities are not developed. Ding Xingwang gradually formed a population scale effect, which further strengthened the king's strength and consolidated the royal power.But Cecil's Bone Tooth City obviously broke this convention, and merchants moved from Raella City to Bone Tooth City, which of course made the Blood Eagle Knights feel dissatisfied.

Cecil smiled and said: "This is only a temporary situation. Isn't it already at peace with the Orc Empire? Raiela City has become a city that trades with the Border City, and its policies are more open than my Bone Tooth City. More, as the mutual trade progresses, not only will the population of my Bone Tooth City flow back, but also inland merchants will move to Reera City due to trade. The Blood Eagle Knights not only have nothing to lose, but even more. became stronger."

Ofelina smiled and said: "That's true, because the population here will continue to increase. Our Life Temple has already considered building a temple to attract believers. I think Raella City will be more prosperous in the future, but From the perspective of geographical environment alone, your small town is more suitable for an exchange market. Of course, the kingdom will not give this opportunity to you small lords."

"Even if the policy of mutual market is really given to me, I dare not accept it. In that case, I'm afraid I will be changed by the king." Cecil said helplessly.

While talking, the two of them talked about the sensitive issue of the king's relationship with the lord, and both of them realized that it was not appropriate to go any further.Ofelina persuaded Cecil: "Don't be too sad, for a city lord with a title like a baron, what you have done has exceeded people's imagination, and this is already a very good result , you can be proud of yourself, you might as well focus on how to please the king, if you can continue to work hard, maybe you can become like my father in the future and become an earl in control of a province.

Cecil smiled silently, and said in his heart that such a result is not bad for you, if you know that I used the ultimate hydra to severely damage the orc army and make the war disappear invisible, if you know that I defeated your beloved Prince Maisar has acquired so many inheritances of Lanteros that paladins dream of, will you be shocked from ear to ear?Of course, the current Cecil will not say these things. Before he has absolute strength, exposing these things casually may cause death for him, so this matter is only between him and Alonso. A little secret among the priests, almost all paladins felt the inheritance of Lanteros, but few knew that that person was Cecil.Perhaps more people thought that Prince Maisar got the inheritance.

Thinking of this, Cecil said bitterly to Ophelia: "It seems that this is the only way. The various conflicts of interest in the kingdom are really intertwined, making it difficult for me to see clearly. I can only rely on My efforts are constantly appreciated by the king."

"Yes, in the kingdom, the king is the biggest, and his will cannot be changed, so I advise you not to go astray. Your territory has developed well enough. If you want to be better, you may go away Going astray, there is a saying that too much is too late, I hope you can understand what he means." Ofelina said with a smile.

Cecil's heart skipped a beat after hearing these words. Ofilina's words were not said for no reason. He meant that I should obey the king's wishes, be an ordinary baron honestly, and then pass the test for him. The king establishes meritorious service to promote?

Ofilina seemed to see Cecil's thoughts and said with a smile, "There is actually nothing wrong with the way I pointed out to you, although the disadvantage is that sooner or later you will encounter a ceiling for promotion, just like my father. It is already difficult to advance to this position. But in a society with a stable system, it is obviously the only way."

The speaker was unintentional, but the listener was interested. Cecil immediately heard the overtones.What's more, the speaker may not be unintentional. When Ou Feilina said the last sentence, she emphasized the "stable system" very seriously. How could a smart person like Cecil not understand what she meant?Cecil also had to admit that Ofelina was right. Under the current system of the Soloran Kingdom, the nobles had almost no possibility of breaking through the existing system. This system was created by the founding emperor of the Soloran Kingdom with his life. It came out, the previous generations of emperors painstakingly slaughtered countless nobles, and after countless times of blood and fire cleansing, they were finally able to establish a system of centralization, which also ensured that the small Soloran Kingdom could be controlled by human beings. It is not so easy to break through the guarantee of Wang Guo's loyalty and national strength, and it is not easy to break through him.

Thinking of this, Cecil smiled and said: "This system is not so easy to break through. I think I should try my best to get the approval of the King, and try to be on par with the Earl." Of course, this sentence is a bit insincere.Becoming a great nobleman like Earl Kasikud may have been Cecil's dream or even wishful thinking more than a year ago, but in the past year or so, he has experienced rapid growth and has come into contact with There are so many high-end people and things, and even an abyss lord is about to become an enemy. At the level of Earl Kasikud, he really looks down on him a bit.
