Reborn Dragon Vein Warlock, Genius Beauty Mage

About half a month after the new year, Christine set off for Frank City, the capital of the Kingdom of France.

As a noble, you have to go to the capital to meet the king within one year after inheriting the title. After all, you have to let the king know what the noble you canonize looks like. Besides, he also wanted to meet and get familiar with the nobles in the capital, so that it would be easier to deal with anything in the future.

There are only a hundred actual nobles with titles of baron and above in the Kingdom of France. These people and several hereditary honorary dukes constitute the first level of the kingdom's noble circle. As long as they do not violate the three major conventions and stay within their own territory, they are no more than kings. the difference.

The second level is the hereditary honorary nobles who hold important positions. Because they have power, their words are effective. Many nobles in the field are friends with them. Field Lords are also at this level, because some Field Lords whose families have a long history will have fiefdoms of three to four villages.

The third level is the remaining hereditary honorary nobles. At most, they have a village under their name, and some only have a manor.

There are also nobles whose ancestors were rich but later declined. For example, the Baron of Lorient, a real noble with a town to his name, is classified into different levels according to the amount of land under his name.

Then there are the non-hereditary nobles, some of whom are children of big nobles, some of whom are professionals who have been canonized for one reason or another, a small number of whom are donated by businessmen, and the last part are social butterflies in the aristocratic circle, such as a certain Baron. Madam, Countess XX, the higher the title, the more popular she is and the more expensive the appearance fee is.

However, regardless of whether it is on the ground, hereditary or non-hereditary, as long as you have a noble title, you will enjoy noble treatment. Even if you are a wealthy businessman, if you do not have a noble title or a church position, you must first greet the lowest honorary Lord and use the honorific title.

In addition to these secular nobles, there are also senior leaders of major churches, mages guilds, warrior guilds, druids guilds, mercenary guilds and other organizations. These people constitute the aristocratic circle of the entire Kingdom of France, and each county also has He has his own circle, and as a noble he must be inseparable from these circles.

So according to tradition, Christine had to go to the capital city of France.

Because the journey was not close, we traveled lightly, taking only sisters Elena, Milisa and Miissa, ten maids, ten attendants and ten cooks. The knight Albert Loiseau, who had been to the royal capital, took five with him. Ten cavalry as escort.

Several carriages were loaded with various accompanying supplies and gifts for the king. This was because it was necessary to bring some gifts when meeting the king for the first time, so Christine prepared olive oil worth a thousand gold coins, and because she needed to pay the shield tax, she prepared twice as much.

Just as knights were required to fight for their lords and serve for free for a number of days each year, so too were nobles in the field to fight and serve the king. But in fact, if something really happened, the king could not call the local nobles. For example, if there was a war and asked a certain local to lead troops to fight, he would not dare to disobey the order, but it would be easy to find various excuses to delay it for a month or two.

The kingdom is a kingdom where the nobles are loyal. Even if the Kingdom of France is annexed by another country, the nobles will just change their allegiance, so few nobles will really use their wealth to fight for the king.

Therefore, the "Nobles' Convention" stipulates that nobles can use the "shield tax" to replace their obligation to fight, that is, pay a sum of money to the king every year, and then the king uses this money to support the kingdom's knights and troops. The actual baronship is one thousand gold coins per year, and one thousand gold coins will be added when the title is increased by one level. The hereditary honorary baronetship is one hundred gold coins per year, and one hundred gold coins will be added when the title is increased by one level.

For a real earl, three thousand gold coins a year is not stressful, and for a hereditary honorary earl, three hundred gold coins a year is also a lot. Of course, the "shield tax" does not have to be gold coins, but can also be other items of equal value, so the olive oil prepared by Christine appears to be of much higher quality.

The journey was very smooth. Although it was winter, enough carriages were prepared so that the accompanying servants did not need to walk. More importantly, a shed roof was installed to isolate the cold wind.

The cavalrymen wore winter coats made of animal fur, which were very effective in keeping warm, and with their lowest level three strength, the cold was nothing at all.

Because this world has beast-blood war horses with high load-bearing capacity, noble carriages are larger than those in the Blue Star Middle Ages. After all, under the same conditions, everyone would like to have more space for movement and a more comfortable ride. Moreover, due to the special design, it is also very good in terms of cold and wind protection. .

Christine's car has been greatly improved on this basis. The mages have developed an alchemy product similar to rubber, but it is expensive. This solves the problem of sealing doors and windows and wheel shock absorption. There is a magic circle carved under the seat of the carriage. Using magic stones to supply energy can keep you warm in winter and cool in summer. The disadvantage is that you need at least a mage apprentice to use it.

So even if it's snowing outside, the fox sisters in the carriage can still wear tulle. This is because Christine wants to try to jerk off a fox, well, I should say, a fox girl.

Kristen sat on the sofa, and Miisha lay on her lap. Then Kristen stroked Miisha's tail while reading a book. Because of the telepathy of the twin fox girls, Milissa lying on the sofa opposite also looked like she was enjoying herself.

However, as we all know, the base of the fox girl's tail is very sensitive. It is okay to stroke it occasionally, but if it lasts a little longer, some special situations will occur. Miisha's face, which was lying down at this moment, was already red. Although she had an expression of enjoyment, she clenched her teeth tightly as if she was holding on to something, but she finally collapsed with a long sigh.

Therefore, the tails of small animals cannot be touched randomly, as it will affect them, and some with bad tempers may even scratch and bite their owners.

At this moment, Miisha had buried her head deeply in her arms, and she couldn't hold back under the master's touch. It was really embarrassing.

Kristen didn't know that this would happen. She was stunned for a moment, and then couldn't help laughing. Now Miisha was even more embarrassed and wanted to dig a hole in the sofa and get in.

"Well, I didn't know it would be like this. You guys need to rest for a while."

Kristine carried Miisa to the opposite side and placed her sister Milisa side by side. Then she pulled a switch next to her and the back of the sofa fell down and turned into a bed.

Miisa buried her head in her sister's arms and didn't dare to talk to her at all. Miisa had already pretended to be asleep at the moment.

Kristine designed the carriage like this mainly because she didn't know when her blood pulsation symptoms would occur. If she was outside, she couldn't relieve it by randomly killing a few passers-by.

Facts have proved that the effect is very good, because with the existence of the soundproof circle, even if Elena and the twin fox girls sing a high-pitched chorus together, the outside world cannot hear it at all.
