Chapter 39: Noble Nobility

The nobles discussed in a mess, and finally the governor looked at the old man.

The old man was silent for a while, but still said: "You should be canonized as a noble after saving the third princess and the sixth prince. But Chi Nan is not from the Kingdom of Rusya after all, and he is a half-elf, so you need to be cautious."

The nobles nodded repeatedly. This old man is quite prestigious among them.

"Then Count Cologne, what do you mean?" The governor asked directly.

Cologne said steadily: "It must be canonized, but be cautious. Moreover, the quota for canonization in our hands has been used up." Every noble can canonize his own lower nobles. This is a rule in the kingdom, but most of them have already been used up, so there are no quotas in hand now.

Everyone's eyes lit up and nodded. Cologne continued: "We can observe first and give him the title of honorary lord to make sure he has no problem. Then he will be a real lord."

Lord is originally just a title, a noble without a territory. Even so, they still gave him an almost useless title of Honorary Lord, which was equivalent to no reward at all.

Because they could take away the title at any time if they wanted, but once a noble was enthroned, unless he committed a serious crime, according to the laws of the kingdom, the status of a noble could not be taken away at will.

"Then the next question is whether Master Chi Nan should stay or go. Think about it, where is it easier to observe him?"

"Of course it's in our Third Legion. He served in the Third Legion before, and now he should return to the Third Legion and make more contributions to the empire." Kailadi couldn't help but speak directly.

The eyes of the nobles around him flickered, and I don't know what they were thinking: "I heard that he summoned a powerful tree warrior, and his strength is very good. So, I think he should join Blackstone Fortress. Our Blackstone Fortress is now facing the wild orcs head-on, and only joining the fortress army is important." The one who spoke was the Lord of Blackstone Fortress.

"I think you should join our assault team. We will counterattack the orcs next. Joining our assault team is the most appropriate. This viscount has sent the most troops, so he should be under his command."

Keladi regretted it very much. He was too anxious and made them see the value of Chi Nan at once.

However, even if he didn't behave like this, a black iron-level mage would be the object of everyone's competition. You know, there is not even a mage apprentice in the entire Blackstone Fortress, let alone a formal mage.

A group of people kept arguing, and the meeting room was about to become like a vegetable market again. The governor couldn't help but knocked on the table to stop everyone: "How about this, Chi Nan will join the assault team first, but he will not be anyone's subordinate. Let's see how strong he is first, and then discuss how to distribute him." Everyone finally shut up.

If Chi Nan were here, he would be very annoyed. He was still being distributed. Wouldn't he become a commodity?

Just at this moment, a guard suddenly walked into the meeting room: "Governor, Lord City Lord, nobles, the order of Her Royal Highness the Third Princess." The guard raised a piece of paper high.

"Bring it here." The governor had a bad premonition in his heart.

After taking the paper and looking at it, the governor's eyes became a little strange. "Governor, what happened? Does the Third Princess have any request? Does she ask us to send troops to wipe out the wild orcs now?"

Ask yourself, if they were being chased by wild orcs, they would definitely do this as soon as they came back. In the minds of many nobles, the princess must have the same idea as them, which is not good. Many people have begun to think about how to shirk it later. Just rush out like this, knowing nothing, and not knowing how much they will lose.

Besides, they don't have time to gather troops, right? Yes, there is no time, and it takes time to gather troops. Many people have made up their minds and said so later.

The governor waved his hand: "It is the canonization order of Her Royal Highness the Third Princess. Her Royal Highness the Third Princess canonized Master Chi Nan as a baron."

Hearing this, everyone was shocked. It was canonized directly. They discussed for so long, didn't they just not want to let someone become a noble easily, and he was a half-elf. In the end, they gave him an honorary title and could withdraw it at any time.

But who would have thought that the princess would directly canonize him. "How can this be? That person is just a half-elf. What qualifications does he have to become a noble?" The nobles who discriminated against half-elves immediately stood up to object.

"Watch your words. You can just say this here." Although it is not a big mistake to discriminate against other races, it also depends on the strength of the discriminated race. There are not many half-elves, but their strength is very strong.

The noble who just spoke sat down hurriedly, his face full of indignation. Another nobleman nearby said, "As a princess of the royal family, the Third Princess does have the power to confer titles on nobles, and she has not conferred titles on anyone yet. With the contribution of Master Chi Nan, this title is valid."

The Governor nodded. It was true. The princess directly conferred titles, so he couldn't say anything.

"But, Her Highness the Third Princess doesn't have her own territory yet, so where is the newly conferred baron territory?"

This is what everyone wants to know the most: "Yes, now almost all the land in the kingdom has been conferred, what land can be given to the new nobles as a territory." This is a matter involving their own interests.

The governor waved his hand: "Her Royal Highness's conferring order said that Baron Chi Nan's territory is in Remas."

"Is that so? There is no problem. Many nobles in Remas did not have time to escape and their families were killed by the wild orcs. There is not even an heir. There are indeed many unowned lands in this place. Where are they specifically?"

While thinking, the governor said in a deep voice: "Her Royal Highness means that we should discuss the location of the territory. After all, we are the ones who know the situation in Remas best. Her Royal Highness asked us to let Baron Chi Nan take office as soon as possible, so let's discuss what should be done about this matter."

Regarding the matter of territory, even if it is just a small place, it is definitely not a trivial matter. All the nobles became serious at once, much more serious than the previous discussion of war.

Each noble's assistant put a map in front of him, and the discussion became intense in an instant.
