The two of them drank like this from noon to afternoon.

"Brother Lester has a really good attitude and treats the surrounding affairs calmly."

"Brother Weilin is brave and resourceful. He has built such a big foundation at a young age. If I hadn't been almost fifty, my son would be as old as you. I really want to follow you."

"Brother, this is wrong. It's still a long time. Who knows what will happen in the future?"

"Brother, brother, I know what kind of talent I have. The silver level is over, but I'm satisfied."

"Kyle, take brother Lester to the hospitality hotel." Welin supported the somewhat drunk Lester and said to the personal attendant beside him.

"No, no, just let a soldier lead the way. No need to go to such trouble." Lester shook his head when he heard this.

Seeing this, Verin could only do as he was told and asked a soldier to take Lester and his entourage to the hotel.

After leaving the tavern, Lester suddenly sobered up a lot.

On the other side, Kyle asked in a low voice: "My lord, this prosecutor is pretending to be drunk behind the scenes."

"I know." Verin watched Lester disappear, still maintaining a smile on his face, "He pretended to be drunk, but it just gave him a step."

"Would you like me to send someone to inform Chief Baird and arrange for someone to monitor the censor?"

"No, superficial friends are sometimes useful."

Afterwards, Verin had a few drinks with the boss Argenta, and then left the Adventurer Tavern with Kyle and a dozen soldiers.

The area around the Adventurer's Tavern was unblocked, and soon it was filled with residents who came to drink.

After returning to the hotel, Lester lay on the bed relaxedly, recalling the previous conversation and whether there was any disqualification. Under the established rules, he told the other party some information that was not confidential in exchange for the other party's friendship.

"It's so tiring, but there's nothing I can do."

On the premise of not breaking the rules, multiple friends can lead to multiple paths. This is the principle he believes in in doing things.

"Sir, the other four adults are back." The record officer entered the room and reported to Lester.

Hearing this, Lester sat up from the bed and ordered the recorder: "Tell them to come in and finish the matter first."

"Yes, my lord."

After a while, the other four people entered Lester's room. The record officer put various documents on the bed, left the room, closed the door, and stood guard at the door.

Lester sat cross-legged on the bed, looking at the documents while inviting everyone to sit down.

Seeing this, the four people found random stools and chairs and sat around Lester.

"How is your situation?" Lester put down the file and asked his team members.

"Captain Leicester, my office is responsible for territorial area detection. According to what they told me, we have only completed the southern border review. I'm afraid it will take a few days." The immature young man spoke first.

"I am responsible for the census. Part of the roster provided by the other party has been completed. This town and several surrounding villages have already met the standards. However, they want me to stop the review and just record the review based on this population number." Another young man opened his mouth to report.

Hearing this, Lester asked: "What is the quantity given by the other party?"

"Twenty thousand people."

"Since the other party doesn't want us to continue the review, then record it according to this amount. Anyway, it meets the standards. There is no need to do more."

"Yes, Captain, then it's over from my side."

I asked the other two people about their progress one after another, and they all met the target.

"Enter, hurry up and try to get it done in two days." Lester looked at the immature young man and ordered, "Also, don't check the other party's confidential area."

"I understand, Captain Leicester." The immature young man replied obediently.

In the next two days, except for the busy young Ente who woke up early and worked hard until late at night, the others were very relaxed and took their subordinates to have fun around the Lake of Praying Stars.

On the fourth day when the inspection team arrived at Qixing Lake, Weilin sat in the main seat in the Qixing Town garrison. On the left were several of his guardian knights, and on the right were the five inspection team leaders.

"Sir Wei Lin, on behalf of the review team, I congratulate you for passing the promotion inspection and completing the final registration process. You will obtain the legal baronetcy of the kingdom, automatically join the provincial noble assembly, and gain the power to participate in the construction of the province and participate in provincial laws and regulations. The power to establish and modify. The territory you are in becomes the territory of the kingdom and is protected by the kingdom."

"Next, please choose the noble flag, noble emblem, and territory name, and let us bring it back to the kingdom for filing, and at the same time complete the signing of the kingdom's tax obligation documents."

After hearing Lester's announcement, Verin and his guardian knights both smiled.

After leaving the Eagle Territory, nearly three years later, they completed the first and most important step.

"Baird, take out the noble flag."

"Yes, my lord."

Baird stood up and saluted, and then he and another silver knight Cassius took out the noble flag sealed in the bag and displayed it in front of everyone.

The recording officer on the side quickly drew on the paper, drawing in detail the appearance of the noble flag.

The noble flag is square with a red background. In the center are two knight's swords crossed, and above the intersection is a star pattern.

"As for the noble crest, I chose to use the family crest."

Hearing this, Lester nodded and asked another record officer to write down the family crest of the Akers family in the column of noble emblems.

Then, Weilin continued: "The name of the territory is Lake of Praying Stars."

When the record officer saw Lester nodding, he wrote Qingxing Ling after the name of the territory, added parentheses, and wrote Lake of Qingxing in the parentheses.

After some matters were settled, Lester took out a tax obligation document with the emblem of the Goddess of Life Church and the national emblem of the Kingdom of Ilia on it.

"According to the regulations, Sir Verin will be exempted from tax obligations within three years after being promoted to baron."

"Among them, tax obligations are divided into two categories, the first category is material category, and the second category is military category."

"For material tax, you need to hand over three thousand gold coins or equivalent materials to the kingdom every year. If you pay the tax according to the material type, you will no longer make military payments."

"Similarly, if you do not pay material taxes, you will have to pay military taxes. For a period of five years, you need to lead a thousand troops to join the border defense corps to perform military defense tasks. The length of time can be determined arbitrarily, but the performance time will be increased. It must last for twelve months, and all necessary supplies must be provided by oneself, and the kingdom will not replenish them."

"Each choice will be implemented for ten years, and the tax payment method will be decided again after ten years."

"If the title is promoted during this period, a new tax payment method will be implemented."

After hearing this, Weilin made a decision in his mind, and then made a choice: "I choose to pay material taxes."

Lester said nothing, nodding to the Recorder to note the method of paying taxes that Verin had chosen.

After everything was over, Lester submitted his resignation and led the review team to leave the Lake of Praying Stars.

From today on, his status changes from a pioneer to a baron, a member of the kingdom's lower nobility.
