Reborn Dragon Vein Warlock, Genius Beauty Mage

Chapter 277 The first New Year after the demonic disaster (2)

Stewart Territory, Dragon's Claw.

After two and a half years of construction, this place has already undergone earth-shaking changes. It can be said that it is completely a city. Privately, people in Brittany County already refer to Stuart City as the city.

Due to its long-term support for handicraft industry and its reliance on the Brittany River, this place has become one of the most important iron production areas in the entire Kingdom of France. Nearly one-third of the equipment of the Kingdom's army is purchased from here.

In addition, there are many various workshops in the city, and carriages line up every day to deliver raw materials, which are then transported everywhere by the Chamber of Commerce carriages that also line up.

There are plenty of goods for sale in the shops. The pedestrians on the street have rosy faces, clean and tidy clothes, and walk leisurely. Compared with other territories, it is a world of difference. Although it has been two years since the demonic disaster broke out, for the people under Christine's rule, there is no shortage of food and the prices of daily necessities have not increased, which is very satisfying.

Today is the New Year. Everywhere in the city has been cleaned up, and the flags of the Stewart family have been hung on important buildings. Circuses, street clowns, and minstrels are ready to perform their best tricks today in the hope of getting more rewards.

The celebrations organized by various churches were announced as early as a week ago, so that believers no matter what kind of work they are engaged in have the opportunity to participate.

Nowadays, you can see all kinds of priests of different true gods in the Stewart Territory, and some people in the True God Territory with weak divine power have not even heard of them. These pastors go around the streets to preach the doctrines of God they believe in and spread the reputation of God.

After the evil disaster broke out, some noble territories were captured by demons, and priests died in the line of duty. The fields in some noble territories were destroyed, the harvest was greatly reduced, and the priests also ate bran. Only the Stewart Territory not only remained unaffected, but gradually prospered, naturally attracting pastors who came to preach.

This year, it was the same as in previous years. Kristen got up in the morning and took everyone to the temple to pray. Since the Brittany Diocese of the Dragon God Church was newly established, the person who received her was naturally the first person in charge, Cardinal Trani Clark.

The Church of the Dragon God already knows about Christine's agreement with King Alfonso of the Iberian Kingdom, and will establish the Carona Diocese after the demonic disaster is over. It includes one earldom, three viscounties, and one barony. Its area is one point larger than the Diocese of Brittany, but it cannot be compared economically.

With such great achievements, Christine has earned the title of the Great Dragon God's Favorite. If any True God church or kingdom dares to treat her unfairly in the future, the Dragon God might come and slap their God behind.

There will still be a banquet at noon, followed by various activities. Since Christine monopolizes most of the high-end wine sales, and there are tea and fruits from Elf Island, as well as ingredients purchased through the Gold Coin Chamber of Commerce, the banquet does not need to be luxurious. explain.

Naturally, there will be a canonization ceremony in the afternoon.

Savannah revealed her master-level identity and killed many master-level demons and dark elves, thus gaining a new village fief. Since he already had five villages under his name, Christine asked the French Noble Council to confer him the title of Baron Brandon.

Carlotani had previously disguised herself as a certain ancestral master of the Stewart family, but now she has resumed her disguised identity as a sixth-level mage after completing her mission. But her achievements in killing many master-level demons were real, so Christine found an excuse and granted her another village.

The disappearance of that ancestor can be just an excuse for him to travel again.

In addition, there are a group of fourth-level knight attendants in the territory who were promoted to fifth level and understood fighting spirit in the battle with demons. There are also some fifth-level and above professionals who have taken refuge in her, and they are all canonized this time.

The lord gives the knight a fief as a fief, and the knight fights for the lord. Others do not need additional rewards unless they have made particularly great contributions. However, the New Year rewards can be generous, so that the subordinates and servants who have worked hard for a year will be happy.

According to tradition, on New Year's Eve, the largest aristocrat in the region holds a banquet, with the largest number of participants. It can be regarded as a grand gathering of aristocrats. Then the remaining nobles will hold the ceremony based on their own strength and title. Other nobles will choose whether to participate based on their relationship with them. It is normal for the entire New Year celebration to last for half a month.

Although the demonic disaster has been going on for two years and everyone's situation is not very good, the nobles have their own dignity to maintain. The New Year's Eve banquet is the most important of the whole year. It is impossible not to hold it. At most, it will be held at the lowest standard.

Of course, there are nobles in various countries like Christine who are basically not affected by the magic disaster. They have naturally become popular people in the noble circles.

For example, the Hereditary Honorary Earl and Countess of Babs Magna are one of them. Not only were they related to the prosperous Marquis Stewart, but the eldest daughter, Master Olivia Magna, was loyal to the Marquis and was canonized as a lord, and received a village near the royal capital as a fief.

In this case, even the nobles with high titles have to treat them politely. Not to mention that Count Magna and his wife can get the extremely popular goods, which makes them even more popular among the nobles.

Whether it's wine, tea, sugar, ham, cheese, the necessities for noble banquets, or luxuries such as silk, fur, tobacco, jewelry, etc., it's not a problem as long as you can afford it.

For the great nobles in the royal capital, these are not worth mentioning. They all have their own channels, but for those hereditary honorary nobles and honorary nobles, Count Magna and his wife are their guests.

With Dominaria City at its back, the largest commercial center in the Western Continent, there is no shortage of things. Many times others cannot buy it because the product is scarce and in short supply, but this does not include Olivia. For nobles, as long as they do not harm the interests of their superior lords, it is only natural to make profits for their own family.

It is precisely because of this situation that there is an endless stream of nobles interested in marrying Count Magna. Some came directly to propose marriage. These were the eldest sons and future heirs of large families who had the strength to marry a mage. Some of them used tact to get closer, saying that you have met my little one, he is handsome and a professional, and he is planning to go to Dominaria City to visit your daughter. Many children from small aristocratic families are even willing to marry into the family, just to be able to embrace this lap.

You must know that Olivia is now a seventh-level mage. Even if she stops here, she can protect a barony or even a viscounty for nearly a hundred years, not to mention her kinship with Lord Stewart.

It is no exaggeration to say that this is equivalent to an amulet, and it is naturally worth the efforts of those nobles.
