The Defeated Dragon

The list not only includes the information of every noble who was knighted, but also the Rules of Knighthood that introduces the titles of the kingdom in detail. Liszt is reading it carefully.

The title of the Flame Kingdom is officially named the eighth rank.

The highest rank is the king, the second rank is the prince or grand duke, and the third rank is the duke. These third ranks belong to the upper nobles. The king belongs to the primogeniture system and is the only title. All knights in the kingdom must follow the king unconditionally or conditionally, and obey the king's dispatch.

The prince and the grand duke have the same title, and the prince needs to have the blood of the royal family, that is, the blood of the flame family, and become a dragon knight. There is no blood limit for the Grand Duke, but he must ride a dragon that is not owned by the kingdom—that is to say, a dragon knight trained by the royal family cannot obtain the title of Grand Duke.

In other words, if you don't have a dragon that is completely your own, you can't even think about becoming a grand duke and establishing a new country.

The title of duke is a bit more complicated, and there are mainly three sources.

The first aspect is that if the grand duke’s heirs fail to ride a dragon, they will be reduced to the title of duke and continue to manage their own country; the second aspect is that the dragon knights trained by the royal family can obtain the title of duke after making military exploits; the third aspect is A domain knight who has repeatedly made military exploits can also be promoted to a duke as appropriate.

However, except for the grand duke's heir, as a dragon raising family, any aptitude can be hereditary to inherit the title of duke.

For the other two duke titles, heirs must become domain knights to successfully inherit—in order to prevent the duke’s accidental death, and the heirs are too young to practice enough, a generation is relaxed. In other words, the Duke's son is still a Duke, but if he fails to become a Domain Knight, his grandson can only be a Marquis.

...

on the list.

No prince, no grand duke.

There are only three proposed duke candidates.

Among them, the Duke of Sapphire, Anthony Sapphire, is just a name, and is not included in this enfeoffment - and there is no need to enfeoff, the Duchy of Sapphire is an independent country.

The other two.

William Tulip, Duke of Tulip Island, fiefs Tulip Island, the second largest island in the Fire Islands, with an area of ​​450,000 square kilometers; Piero Gray Iron, Duke of Wutong Island, fiefs Wutong Island, the seventh largest island in the Fire Islands, with an area of ​​17 million square kilometers.

Tulip family, gray iron family,

Both have Domain Knight Cheats. As long as the descendants are not too useless, it is not difficult to cultivate to become a domain knight, and they can inherit the title of duke hereditary.

Father, promote Bruposi, Marquis of Saltwater, to Duke of Mermaid City, and the fiefdom will be designated as Mermaid City. Liszt thought for a while and added something.

According to the Kingdom's Nobility Regulations, the title of sealing a city is only for the Marquis, and the Duke of Mermaid City does not comply with the Nobility Regulations. Li William said.

The Nobility Regulations is a knighthood system approved by Liszt before. Although he often plays around and thinks about it, it is not good to slap himself in the face too often. Therefore, after pondering for a moment, he said, Then make Blue Posey the Duke of the Mermaid Land.

But Mermaid Land belongs to the territory of Flame Island. Didn't you say that Flame Island will not subdue nobles other than the Burning Legion?

Hmm... Liszt struggled for a while, and then said, The enfeoffment of the mermaid will be added as an exception to the Regulations on Knighthood. Anyway, it has not been officially published yet, and there is room for revision. From now on, the enfeoffment of the mermaid's territory will be vainly assigned to the Fire Islands. surrounding sea.

After a pause, he continued: Blu Posey's title is determined to be the Duke of Saltwater Sea. As for the saltwater sea, it doesn't matter where it is. Her fief can choose Mermaid City.

So after talking for a long time, he still denied the previous Nobility Regulations.

As for his second son, Li William had probably gotten used to his style of doing things, so he didn't care about revising the Rules of Knighthood.

Instead, he asked: Blu Posi can be made a duke, and the other six mermaid marquises, do you want to divide them up together?

No need, Blue Bossy stayed in the Flame Kingdom and managed the Mermaid City earnestly, which is due to the country. The other six mermaids have all gone to travel around the world. How can they be dukes with such idle work... Their ideas are still alive in ancient times. You must understand that you can only gain status and resources if you integrate into the Flame Kingdom.

The mermaids traveled around the sea, and it took almost a year to go there.

Although they were tasked with surveying and mapping the coastline of the Legendary Continent, it was obvious that they were having fun outside, and the surveying and mapping of the coastline had only been completed a little bit.

Liszt was very dissatisfied with this, and had urged them several times, but failed to reassure them.

Therefore.

He was quite resentful, and only entrusted a mermaid to Blue Posey.

...

The fourth rank of nobility in the Flame Kingdom is the Marquis, and the fifth rank is the Earl. These two ranks belong to the middle nobles.

In fact, Liszt originally planned to divide the duke into upper duke and lower duke. Higher-ranking dukes are dukes with feudal states, classified as upper nobles, and lower-ranked dukes are dukes without feudal states, classified as middle nobles. In this way, a system of titles with three ranks in the upper, middle and lower ranks for a total of nine ranks can be assembled.

But in the end this was not done, because instead of dividing the upper and lower dukes, it would be better to create a new title.

And he has another idea-deliberately downplaying the status of the vassal state in order to reflect the authority of the king. After all, the monarch of the principality is a duke, and the general fiefdom lord also has a duke, which means that the vassal state is just a larger fief, even if you are a dragon-raising family, you are only a follower of the king.

Therefore, in the end, the only median nobles are marquis and earl.

The inheritance of these two titles needs to reach the level of Sky Knight, which can be extended to one generation, but if there is still no Sky Knight born in the next generation, it must be downgraded.

in the list.

The No. 1 Marquis is Emily Flame, Marquis of Jade City——as a light emerald dragon knight, Liszt asked Emily if she wanted to become a feudal noble, but Emily decided to join the Burning Legion and hoped to Follow Liszt for life.

So Liszt gave her the surname Flame and made Jade City near Jade Mountain, Dragon's Nest, where Ethan lived, as her closed city.

The second-ranked Marquis is Di Maria Yuhuashi, Marquis of Pea Island, and his fief is half of Pea Island. Pea Island is the eighth largest island in the Flame Islands, with an area of ​​150,000 square kilometers. However, apart from Di Maria, Pea Island did not entrust other nobles.

As the first marquis to take refuge, Liszt has promised Di Maria that he will be promoted to the Duke of Pea Island when the Yuhuashi family has accumulated enough military exploits.

The entire Pea Island will become the fiefdom of the Yuhuashi family.

The third-ranked Marquis is Geoffrey Furongkui, the Marquis of Gem Left Leader, whose fiefdom is half of Gem Island, also known as Gem Left Leader. Gem Island is the sixth largest island in the Flame Islands, with an area of ​​220,000 square kilometers and is divided into two areas - the left area of ​​gems and the right area of ​​gems.

Jeffrey is a full-level sky knight, captured as an earl in the Eagle Kingdom, and performed outstandingly after surrendering.

The fourth-ranked Marquis is Yevic Water Peanut, the Marquis of Realgar City. The fief is Realgar City, the gateway of the Flame Kingdom in the Legendary Continent—unexpectedly, Yevic did not choose to be a fief noble, but chose to join the Burning Legion. Become a sealed nobleman.

He is still pretending to be a great nobleman of the Eagle Kingdom to promote the civil strife among the Dukes of Fengxue Mountain.

The fifth ranked Marquis is Paris Flame, Marquis of Firefire City, and her fief is Firefire City. Like Emily, Paris, the great swordsman of light and magic who has become Liszt's lover, chose to seal the nobles and also received the flame surname bestowed by Liszt.

The sixth-ranked marquis is Duerte Hongxingguo, the Marquis of Gem Right. He was one of the first captive nobles of the Eagle Kingdom to develop the Flame Island. He was an Earl at first, and after several years of military exploits, he was granted the title of Marquis.

The seventh-ranked Marquis is Mendez Kale, the Marquis of the Territory of Thorns, and his fiefdom is one-third of the Isle of Thorns, which is the Territory of Thorns. Mendes was the Marquis of the Gray Iron Principality in the past, a sky knight at the perfect level, but he didn't show much after joining the Flame Kingdom.

Thorn Island is the fourth largest island in the Flame Islands, with an area of ​​270,000 square kilometers, and is divided into three collars—namely, the upper collar of thorns, the left collar of thorns, and the right collar of thorns.

The eighth-ranked Marquis is Nicole Bellows, Marquis of Dragon Valley City, and his fiefdom is Dragon Valley City next to the huge dragon pit mine. The Bellows family is an Iron Knight family. The Grand Duke Sapphire transferred the Bellows family to Liszt in order to fund Liszt's founding of the country. These years of hard work are worthy of the title of Marquis.

The ninth Marquis is the Marquis of Thorn Left Marquis Yamat Ice Shield. He is the father-in-law of Jevich and a Marquis of the Duchy of Fengxue Mountain who secretly took refuge in Liszt. For the time being, Yamat is still working as a marquis in the Duchy of Fengxue Mountain, and cooperates with Jevich to provoke the first prince and the second prince to fight among themselves.

The marquises ranked tenth to fifteenth are all mermaids.

Marquis of Atlantis - Eternia, Marquis of Fisherman - Gurveig, Marquis of Water Walk - Tibiades, Marquis of Trench - Sariwala, Marquis of Escape - Viswindi, Marquis of Lost - Cocorich.
