Reborn Dragon Vein Warlock, Genius Beauty Mage

The nineteen captured knights also returned to Rennes City. Together with the three surrendered knights, they signed a document changing their allegiance to the lord, and held an allegiance ceremony under the auspices of Bishop Seleman Cross, the God of Order.

Also coming is the new Baron of Lorient, an unlucky boy.

After the news came back that Count Rennes had declared war on Baron Stewart, Baron Lorient felt that this was an opportunity. The old Baron of Lorient and Christine lost the war, and all the land in the Lorient Territory was given to the other party except for the last town which was redeemed. Now the new Baron of Lorient lives in poverty.

The town of Lorient is also built on the sea and has a port. Its original income was good, but the newly built Dominaria Port City closest to it has the greatest impact on it. Not to mention better port facilities and a safer environment, businessmen are all gathered together. With more people, there are more business opportunities, so now there are basically no ships docking in Lorient Town.

When the income is low, the quality of life will naturally be low. Besides, all the wealth accumulated by the ancestors has been used to pay the ransom, and there is no way to sell the land even if they want to.

Christine and Baron Lorient went to the capital of the Kingdom of France to meet with the king. Although the banquets held were all hosted by the Council of Nobles, and the scale and cost of both of them were the same, the nobles were very realistic, and the etiquette on the surface would not be the slightest bit different, but how could Baron Lorient not know how to comment in private? Not a nice thing to say.

Even the subsequent private banquet for nobles who were friends with the Lorient family was compared to Baron Stewart by the aristocratic circle in the capital, and the comments were even more appalling.

Although the current Baron of Lorient is not his legitimate son, he can inherit the title because his father and brother died in the battle, so everything including the title of Baron and now can be said to be pie in the sky. However, if people are not in this position, they may not have this idea, but once they sit in this position, they want more.

So he wanted to take advantage of the war between Earl Rennes and Baron Stewart to declare war on each other and get back what he had lost. His idea is not a fantasy. At least there are currently four knights who are nominally loyal to the Lorient family. After the war between the Earl of Rennes and the Baron of Stuart, this is a force that cannot be ignored.

No one thought that Count Rennes would lose. The person who helped him was a master mage. In a war between countries, it could be a force that could determine the outcome of a battle, let alone a battle between two local nobles. .

Therefore, Baron Lorient chose to submit a declaration of war to Baron Stewart on the day Count Rennes' army arrived in Dragon Claw Town, and then first captured Lorient Castle and then recovered the lost territory.

Of course he knew that doing so was equivalent to competing with Count Rennes for spoils, but this was already his only chance. After Count Rennes occupied all the villages and towns, would he still be able to take them back from the opponent?

Baron Lorient's bet was that after Earl Rennes had just annexed Baron Stewart, he would not be able to declare war on other nobles for quite some time.

You must know that Brittany County also has Viscount Brieux, Baron Campel, Baron Brest and other local nobles. It is impossible for them to allow Earl Rennes to expand their territory. Everyone knows the truth of the loss of words. It is impossible for the king to allow Earl Wren to do this again.

It can be said that Baron Lorient had a good idea, but he did not expect that he had just sent someone to deliver a declaration of war in the morning, and before noon, Count Rennes was defeated and died.

Christine understood Baron Lorient's approach very well. Thinking about it from another angle, she also felt that this was a good opportunity, but she only understood it. She did not show any mercy when dealing with this matter.

She and Knight Eric rushed over with the guards overnight and captured the town of Lorient and the territories of those knights and lords.

The Barons of Lorient and the knights who had just captured the castle and were still not seated were blocked by Christine. Facing a fifth-level mage, they had no power to fight back. They would either surrender unconditionally or be killed without mercy.

The territories of the knights and lords were captured, and the Baron of Lorient had no choice but to make them switch allegiance to the Stewart family, because even if the knights were willing to follow, the Baron of Lorient could not afford to support them.

At this point, the Lorient family, which had been passed down for hundreds of years, sadly left Brittany County, and the Baron of Lorient, who had no territory to his name, was reduced to a hereditary honorary noble.

Christine did not change the name of the town of Lorient, just let it become a historical memory.

Everyone was used to calling it Rennes City, and Christine was not prepared to change its name. However, Rennes Castle and Rennes Manor could no longer be called this name, so they changed their names to Lorwyn Castle and Lorwyn Manor.

Rennes City can bring in a net income of 30,000 gold coins every year, and other villages and towns can bring in a net income of 20,000 gold coins. Even though the original Earl of Rennes had cities and many villages and towns, it also had a lot of money to spend. The annual city maintenance costs alone were a huge expense.

By comparison, the income of Baron Stewart can reach one-third of that of the original Earl of Rennes, so it is reasonable to be called wealthy.

All the officials of the original Renne Territory are retained. They are all local nobles or descendants of nobles. After signing the document to change their allegiance to the lord, there will be no problem with their loyalty.

The Wren family also has a chamber of commerce, so it can be merged into its own Tulip Chamber of Commerce.

According to statistics, the treasures and wealth left by the Wren family are worth about 160,000 gold coins. After all, they are also a real Earl family with a long history. The valuable ones were selected and kept, and the rest were sold to the gold coin merchant guild affiliated with the Goddess of Wealth Church in exchange for 110,000 gold coins.

With money in hand, Christine plans to build two more mage towers, one intermediate one in Stewart Castle, and the other junior one in Rabia Castle, which is the original Lorient Castle. As for Rennes City, because there is a Mages Guild here, there is no need to build your own for the time being. After all, there is not enough money.

The intermediate mage tower costs 100,000 gold coins, and the junior mage tower costs 80,000 gold coins. However, since the laboratory and arcane garden inside can not be built for the time being, 140,000 gold coins are enough.

The reason why she has this idea is that when the territory becomes large, in order to effectively rule, it is necessary to have fast movement methods and efficient communication methods. The teleportation array and communication array of the mage tower are naturally the first choice.

Otherwise, if something happens to Dragon Claw Town or Rabia Castle, even if we work hard, it will take a day and a night to deliver the message to Dominaria Port. The original beacon can only transmit simple messages and is no longer needed.
