Reborn Dragon Vein Warlock, Genius Beauty Mage

After organizing his language, Yaskin said: "Your Majesty Earl, when I came out of the territory, I could confirm that the villages of Ergoa and Loperek had been attacked by demons, and most of the villagers were killed. The three nearby villages People from this village are also evacuating to the town of Quimper. I would like to ask you to send troops to help eliminate these demons, and the reward will be paid according to the rules of the nobility."

The rules for the nobles who assisted in recovering the land were also very simple. All expenditures and consumption in the war were the responsibility of the Stewart Territory, and all spoils of war also belonged to the Stewart Territory. Half of the land captured was given as reward.

What is known now is that the demon has already attacked two villages. If Christine sends troops, she can get at least one village's reward. If the demon continues to attack other villages, the reward will continue to increase.

Christine knew that Yaskin still had something to say, but she didn't point it out and said, "That's no problem. Everything will be done according to the rules of the aristocracy, so just sign the agreement."

Sure enough, Yaskin said with an embarrassed look: "Your Majesty, there is one more thing. I hope to buy some grain from you."

Under normal circumstances, the residents will have enough food, so it is not a problem to eat until the autumn harvest. Some wealthy families may have more.

But now the demonic disaster broke out. Not to mention that the refugees who escaped from the two destroyed villages took nothing with them. Even the villagers from the three retreating villages only brought a little food with them. As long as the demon destroys another village and nearby fields, There won't be enough food to eat.

The Quimper Territory was not without any food reserves. As soon as the news of the imminent outbreak of the demonic disaster came out, all the nobles and chambers of commerce immediately stopped selling food. Excluding what has been sold, the remaining food in the territory is enough to feed five thousand people for a year.

But half of the people in Quimper Town, such as blacksmiths and cobblers, need to buy food, usually once a month. Half of the food must be prepared for them, otherwise who will make weapons and armor for the soldiers?

The remaining ones have to be used for consumption by soldiers. In the past, most of them were left alone by militiamen, but now they have become regular soldiers and have to take care of food, so they can only buy them from those who have food.

Christine asked: "Lord Yaskin, do you know the current price of food?"

Yaskin was stunned by the question, and after a while he replied: "I... don't know."

"You don't even know the price and you still say you want to buy food. Are you kidding me?"

"Lord Earl, I'm not joking, but..."

Yaskin didn't say anything for a long time. It wasn't that he didn't know, but that he didn't dare to say anything. Buy it at the price your own land sells to the town craftsmen? There is no way this price can be found now. You are not joking when you say it. You are just kidding Earl Stewart. Can I buy it at the black market price? Now that the price of food has increased tenfold, what I want to buy is not just a little bit.

Christine saw that it was almost done and said: "Lord Yaskin, I can help you regain the village captured by the devil according to the rules of the nobility, and I can also sell you food at market prices. But have you ever thought about it, what if Campei If a demon appears in your territory again, what will you do?"

what to do? There is simply no way.

Yaskin also understood that all previous demonic disasters never ended in one year, at least it took two years. There have only been two batches of demons in the Quimper Territory so far. Who dares to say that there won’t be a third or fourth batch in the future?

Even if they were lucky and a third group of demons appeared in half a year, the Quimper Territory would be able to recruit and train enough soldiers within half a year but would not be able to provide enough equipment, let alone replace the lost knights within half a year.

Will you ask Earl Stewart for help then? Let’s not talk about whether others are willing to help him or not. Even if they are willing, the price is not as low as it is now.

Yaskin could see that the Earl of Stewart was not satisfied with assisting him according to the rules of the nobility. She wanted more, so he deliberately said these words. In desperation, he had no choice but to reveal the bottom line. .

"My lord, the Quimper Territory is willing to accept your protection in accordance with the Nobles' Convention."

This is just a decent way of saying it. In fact, the Baron of Quimper has become a vassal noble of the Earl of Stuart. It is diplomatically consistent with the superior nobles. When the superior nobles send troops to fight, they are obliged to send corresponding soldiers to assist according to their title. Moreover, once this agreement is signed, it will not be easily terminated unless the superior nobles violate the three major conventions.

Of course, after becoming a vassal, the higher-level nobles have the obligation to protect the safety of the lower-level nobles, but the price that the lower-level nobles should pay still has to be based on the rules of the nobility.

In other words, it was equivalent to buying an insurance policy for yourself. Even if you were willing to pay the price before taking refuge, it all depended on Kristen's mood whether she wanted to be saved or not. Now she must be saved.

But how could Christine only need the name of a superior noble? Is she the kind of person who covets fame? So she said: "Lord Yaskin, I have a suggestion for you to listen to."

"Your Majesty, please speak."

"The Demon-Slaying Order states that after the war, you can get the corresponding territory based on the points you earn by killing demons. I can at least get another baronial land, right?"

"It's inevitable."

In Yaskin's view, as long as Earl Stewart helps to eliminate the demons in his territory, he will have 400 points. There is no problem in getting a barony by gaining 3,000 points from the entire demon disaster.

"Stuart will send troops first to help the Quimper Territory retake the village captured by the devil. Everything will be done according to the rules of the nobility."

Yaskin nodded in approval.

"Give me all the remaining land and half of the population in the Quimper Territory, and I promise to give you half of these territories after the demonic disaster. These territories will be new lands that I exchanged for the demon slaying points, and the cost of population relocation will also be I will be responsible for it. If you agree, then from now on I will provide the food for half of your subjects. Of course, I will also manage it during the period of the demonic disaster."

"what?"

Yaskin was stunned after finishing it. Christine's suggestion subverted his imagination.

"Lord Yaskin, if the Quimper Territory agrees, then sign an agreement. If you don't agree, it doesn't matter. I will still send troops to rescue, but please don't mention the purchase of food again."

Kristine added: "My proposal is not subject to bargaining. You can consider it slowly."

Leaving Yaskin to think in the living room, Christine and Olivia came to the library.

Olivia said with an envious look on her face: "My lord, the count, you want to take over all his territory at once, and you are still the best!"

"After the war, half of the land will be returned to him."

"Then you also earned half a barony."

"He may not agree yet. Olivia, I see that Yaskin looks at you a little differently. What's going on?"

"One of my suitors."

"One? Does that mean you have many suitors?"

"Just a few."

"Aren't you afraid that they will beat you to death when they know the truth?"

Olivia said proudly: "How can they know the truth if they are so stupid? Besides, I am yours, and I don't dare to do anything even if I let them know."
