Reborn Dragon Vein Warlock, Genius Beauty Mage

After the king's special envoy, Hereditary Honorary Count Hartmann Segura, sent the news back to the royal capital, he quickly received a reply. King Louis agreed, but the specific details still needed to be discussed face to face with the Marquis of Stewart.

So Christine took Carlottani and Elena and teleported to the city of France, and spent a day negotiating with King Louis on the terms of sending troops.

In fact, King Louis was probably mentally prepared for what conditions Christine could propose, and after hearing the message sent back by Count Segura, he only showed an expression that was true.

According to the provisions of the "Continental Convention", only sacred blood can establish a kingdom, and legendary blood can establish a principality. So no matter how powerful you are, if you don't meet these two conditions, you can't build a country. Similarly, if you have the conditions but don't have the strength, it won't work. There are quite a few legendary bloodlines on the mainland, but none with the strength.

In other words, even after Christine is canonized as a duke, she still has to bear her obligations to the Kingdom of France. In this case, it makes no difference whether Christine is a marquis or a duke. Just because she is a marquis or a duke, the king's order will not work, but if she is a duke, the king's order will not work.

Besides, according to the demon-slaying points of the Marquis of Stewart, there is a 90% chance of gaining another county's land after the demonic disaster. Because people from each country are rewarded by which country, the new territory must be in the Kingdom of France. Even according to the strictest standards, her conditions for being canonized as a duke will be met.

By using canonization a year in advance in exchange for the other party sending troops to reduce the losses of the royal army and possible changes, King Louis naturally knew how to choose the most advantageous option.

Of course, the canonization of a real duke has never been done in the history of the kingdom. There are many procedures to go through. King Louis promised to handle it as quickly as possible. However, the war is urgent, and Christine needs to send troops first.

Of course there is no problem with this. Now that the king has agreed to his conditions, Christine will give him enough face. She promised King Louis that she would make arrangements immediately after returning and kill at least three master-level demons and more than a dozen big demons.

King Louis was extremely satisfied with this promise. What he was afraid of was only the high-end combat power in the demon army. Now Christine was talking about killing them instead of defeating them. What was there to be dissatisfied about? As long as this effect can be achieved, it doesn't matter whether the Stewart leader sends one troop or a thousand troops.

As for signing a rescue agreement with the local nobles in Loire County, King Louis immediately guessed what the other party was thinking. This greedy dragon must have set his sights on someone else's land.

Because the general stipulations of the rescue agreement are that I will send troops at my own expense to help you regain the lost land, the spoils obtained in the war will belong to me, I will share half of the land recovered, and you will pay the pension for those who died in the war.

It's hard for others to say, but the survivors of the Baron Le Mans family will definitely agree. After all, their family is not far away from being wiped out, and they simply don't have the strength to take back the territory within three months.

If the lost territory cannot be recovered within three months, the lost territory will belong to the king, so Christine is equivalent to grabbing land from King Louis. But isn't that one of the conditions for sending troops? It's just a barony, just give it to her.

Why did Christine have to be made a duke a year early? At her age, it doesn't matter much to wait one more year, because she wants to vigorously spread her name and improve her prestige.

It is said that heroes emerge from troubled times. If a person's deeds are linked to a major historical event, the effect will naturally be much better.

A certain adventurer who discovered the treasure, a certain mage who eliminated the monsters, a certain noble who exterminated thieves or fought against pirates all sound too ordinary. Switch to the hero who fights against demons, Kristen Stewart Duke, and with her rise experience, she starts out as a legend.

As for why she needs such a high reputation, you can understand it by referring to why the true god needs faith. However, the "Covenant of Gods" stipulates that those who spread faith before becoming a god (lighting a divine fire) are false gods, and any church, country, or organization has the obligation to exterminate false gods.

But it is normal to worship heroes, and there are many heroes in history who ignited the divine fire because of their adventures. Since we encountered a good opportunity like a demonic disaster, we naturally couldn't let it go.

However, it is impossible for anyone else to guess what Christine is thinking. After all, her public professional levels are second-level dragon vein warlock and ninth-level mage. It is more difficult for legal professions to be promoted as they go up. Mage is the most difficult. She has five levels. Anyone who is promoted to master level mage before the age of ten is considered a genius.

After returning to the city of Dominaria, Christine arranged for the guards to set off immediately to the city of Nantes in Loire County, which was also the headquarters of the local noble coalition. She, Carlotani and others will teleport directly there later. The two counties are very close and the teleportation fee is not high, which can save a lot of time on the road.

.

A few days later, the mage tower and the living room.

Kristen was eating fruit and petting the cat at the same time. The cat girl Brador was lying on her lap, with a satisfied expression on her face under the caress of her slender fingers. Kristen also fed Brador some fruits from time to time, which made him lick her fingertips again and again with his little tongue.

Elena walked in softly and whispered: "Your Majesty the Marquis, this is a magic letter from Knight Bella."

Christine patted Brador's little head and said, "Take the fruit and share it with others."

Brador obediently stood up, put on his leather shoes, and left with a plate with fruits. The remaining cat girls can each share a piece of fruit. In this season, eating fresh fruit is a pretty good reward for the maids.

Because Kristine was sitting on the sofa, Elena came over, knelt down and handed the letter to her hand.

There are two things written in the letter. The first is that Lord Pierre Legrand, a diplomat from the Stewart Territory who arrived in Nantes with the guards, has signed a rescue agreement with all local nobles.

The reason why it is everything is the second thing. After the demon army broke through the Viscount of Angers, it then invaded the Baron of Shaoying. Then the main force turned and headed towards the city of Nantes. The other two branches burned, killed and looted in the Count of Nantes.

In the entire Loire County, there are six great nobles in total, including the Earl of Nantes, the Viscount of Angers, the Baron of Le Mans, the Baron of Shaoying, the Baron of Laval, and the Baron of Nazaire. Now, except for the Baron of Nazaire, the Earl of Nantes is fine. Nearly half of the noble territories were destroyed, and all the remaining noble territories were lost.

Especially Baron Laval in the north, who thought that the demon army had moved south and was safe, but was attacked by the "Burning Hand" and his whole family was killed. What followed was a raid on the territorial villages and large-scale blood sacrifices. If not for the fact that many of the previously evacuated territorial residents had not had time to return, the losses would have been even greater.

But even this allowed the "Burning Hand" to summon more than thirty large demons and nearly two thousand small demons.
