Your Majesty, the Spectacle Has Missed the Country!

Harley felt as if his mind went blank in an instant, and his eyes stared blankly at the Idar man standing in front of him.

What is he saying?

What baron?

What is seriously injured?

His cute little head couldn't turn around for a while, and he looked confused.

"I forgot to tell you before. After you joined the Idar Chamber of Commerce, the Duke awarded you the honorary title of Baron Henrik in recognition of your outstanding contributions to the Idar Chamber of Commerce."

As Baumiril Braun spoke, he took out a wooden box from his luggage.

Open the wooden box,

Inside was a medal and a letter of appointment.

Harley's hands were trembling a little, and he carefully picked up the letter of appointment with the seal of Bruno Stuart, Duke of Idar.

"Halley Santa Cruz, a native of Basel... who turned from darkness to light... has outstanding achievements..."

"...hereby appointed as...Baron Henrik..."

Harley read intermittently, with a look of disbelief in his eyes.

"This...what the hell is going on?"

From Harley's point of view, what he was seeing was really outrageous, and it was full of weirdness.

How could I become that... Baron Henryk without knowing it?

"The Duke will never let his own people pay in vain. Since you have taken refuge in the Duke, as long as you work hard and do your best, you will always gain something." Baumiril Braun said matter-of-factly.

"But I didn't do anything..."

"You and Ernie Mfira are both responsible for the fact that the wines of Moore Wines have been able to occupy the market of the Kingdom of Basel."

Harley:? ? ? Are you going to scold me again?

"And... this time, you knew the dangers and yet resolutely came to the south of Basel to die. This has indeed provided us with great convenience."

Harley: This doesn’t seem to be considered a compliment...

etc……

Harley seemed to realize something and asked with some uncertainty: "Lord Baumiril, what you mean is... the Duke never thought about letting me take care of this area south of Basel. plantation??”

Hearing this, Bomiril nodded seriously.

"Then what are you going to do? Since you are following along, you should be aware of the huge influence of these southern nobles in this land. If you want to use normal business methods, it will definitely be impossible..."

Harley's voice gradually became smaller and smaller, and his eyes inadvertently glanced at the weapons in the hands of the Idar people.

It was at this moment that an extremely bold idea came to his mind.

I am afraid……

These Idar people in front of them have never thought about using normal means to solve the problem!

Although he suffered a major setback in the dispute over wine, as a civilian businessman from an ordinary background, since Harley can be entrusted with important tasks by the noble men of the Kingdom of Basel, it naturally proves that he is a smart man.

At least... he is also a capable and well-organized guy.

Thinking again of his noble status that fell from the sky,

Harley actually sketched a trajectory in his mind that made him feel extremely horrified.

No, no, the Idar people shouldn't be so radical...

"Yes, if you use normal means, you will definitely not be able to compete with the nobles in the south of Basel, but they have broken the rules by using force to threaten and intimidate the operation of the plantation."

"And now, these southern nobles are still ungrateful, and they have even gone so far as to use assassins to assassinate Baron Henryk of the Principality of Idar! This is simply a provocation!" Baumiril seemed to see the depth of Harley's heart. Thoughts, he said with some indignation.

If Harley Santa Cruz was just a businessman, then death would be death.

Because no matter how hard Harley works or struggles, he does not belong to the aristocratic class and will not be looked down upon by the aristocratic gentlemen of the Kingdom of Basel.

In most places on this continent, there is an inherently insurmountable gap between civilians and nobles.

But,

When Harley Santa Cruz obtained the status of a noble from the Principality of Idar, everything became different.

Baron Henrik!

Although this is just an extremely low-level noble title, it is actually a member of the aristocratic class.

And the noble was assassinated...

Let's put it this way, even if a noble man is captured by the enemy on the battlefield, he can regain his freedom by paying a high ransom after the war is over.

Except for the Odin Empire, "no nobles can be punished" has almost become an unspoken rule that everyone needs to follow by default.

Baron Henrik…

At this moment, Harley was suddenly immersed in his name.

This is a baron descended from heaven!

Although he was a little uncomfortable at the beginning, after hearing what Baumiril said, he actually felt very good!

Is this what it's like to be a noble?

really,

The feeling of being a noble is so wonderful.

However, this wonderful feeling did not last long before it was extinguished by a basin of cold water poured over by Baumiril.

"Also, I must remind you that the Principality of Idar is different from any other noble territory in this land. Except for the Stuart family, any noble title is just an honorary title and there is no actual division of territory. "

"oh……"

However, even so, Harley didn't feel much loss in his heart.

As a Basel native who had just defected to the Idars, a few days ago he was still worried about whether he could save his life, but in the blink of an eye he became a baron under the Duke.

Although there is no fiefdom,

but……

This is a noble title after all!

This is something that many civilians would never envy in their entire lives!

Although dignitaries at the duke and marquis levels have the power to grant titles to lower-level nobles, in fact, it is extremely difficult for a commoner to obtain a title.

Even a certain big noble holds an excess of low-level noble titles.

So rather than allowing a civilian with outstanding merits to gain the opportunity to enter the aristocratic class, almost all great nobles would choose to give this opportunity to an ordinary noble descendant who was born into a famous family.

And in the final analysis,

This is due to the so-called noble dignity.

after all……

If one's vassals are all descendants of famous families, then not only will they have a good reputation, but they will also have common topics during banquets and hunting.

But if the vassals under his command are all poor-legged people, they all look like they have never seen the world.

Then the ignorance and timid mentality they show from time to time often make the great nobles feel very embarrassed.

Harley never expected to obtain the title of nobility, but...

Bruno Stuart, Duke of Idar, gave himself a chance to be promoted!

"From now on, I am a noble of the Principality of Idar and a vassal under the command of Bruno Stuart, Duke of Idar!"

Harley Santa Cruz thought with some pride.

only,

When Harley Santa Cruz held the commission granting him the title of nobility and felt extremely grateful to Duke Idar,

The look in his eyes when he looked at Baumiril contained a hint of resentment.

no way,

This guy hid the Duke's letter of appointment in his luggage, and it was only at this moment that he finally told himself about the appointment.

You know, during this nearly month, was there any day when I wasn’t anxious?

If I had told myself the real purpose of traveling to the southern area of ​​Basel this time, why would I have been worried for so long?

Harley is only in his early thirties this year, but under this huge pressure, he actually showed some signs of baldness, and tufts of white hair began to appear vaguely.

As if aware of Harley's resentful look, Baumiril Braun defended himself sincerely:

"You can't blame me for this. If you get excited and spread the news that you have been canonized as a noble, and the nobles in the south stop coming to carry out assassinations, wouldn't the plan we made be in vain?"

"I'm actually a tight-lipped person..." Harley struggled.

"Oh, I'll pay attention next time." Bomiril Braun said casually.

Harley:…

How can there be a next time for this?

"So...shall we go back now?"

"Yes, you are seriously injured now. Not only did you lose too much blood, but you are also in critical condition. If you don't return to the Principality of Idar quickly and hire the best doctors to treat you, your life or death may be unpredictable." Baumiril said seriously. replied.

Harley couldn't help lowering his head and taking a look at himself who was "scarred" and "in danger".

Forehead,

How would you describe yourself at this time?

The clothes are a little dirty and there is a hole in the pants.

My ears still feel a little uncomfortable.

The biggest wound on his body was the worn skin on his knee, and there were some bruises around the wound.

and,

This was what he accidentally knocked from the ground when he was dragged out of the carriage by Agent Idar.

for a time,

Harley suddenly had an inexplicable feeling. He felt... that he was really shameless.

wrong,

Not only himself, the serious Idar agents are also shameless.

"Then...goodbye?"

Several Idar agents who were responsible for escorting Harley on his return journey had already turned the direction of the carriage and cleaned up the battlefield where the conflict had just broken out.

"When we meet again, it will be in the Principality of Idar."

Baumiril waved his hand.

Harley's mission has been completed, and the next task is that of Agent Idar.

Thinking of this,

Baumiril Braun's blood suddenly boiled because... this would be the first large-scale operation planned by the Idar CIA outside the Principality of Idar.

and……

Long before the wines of Moore Wines entered the Basel market, the people of Idar had anticipated this day in advance.

…

Basel Royal Palace.

Joey Hicks, the envoy from the Principality of Idar, was walking towards the main hall of the palace under the leadership of the Basel Palace guards.

There, he will meet the King of Basel and present the credentials of the Principality of Idar.

In this era of restricted monarchical power, nobles at the duke level actually have certain diplomatic rights, and can even initiate wars under certain circumstances.

It was a very common thing for the great nobles to send envoys to each other.

Not only the Principality of Idar, but also the great nobles of the Norman Empire such as the Duke of Lune, the Duke of Carter, the Duke of Dorin, etc., most of them would also send their envoys to and from the Kingdom of Basel, the Norman Empire, the Principality of Sidon and other places. In the territory of the great nobles.

What's more... although the Duke of Idar is still a vassal of the royal family of the Norman Empire in name, all the rights in the principality have been firmly controlled by the Stuart family.

This even includes divine authority!

Therefore, Bruno naturally needs an envoy who can represent the interests of Duke Idar and make a voice on behalf of the Duke of Idar to the nobles who rule this continent.

As a neighbor of the Principality of Idar, the Kingdom of Basel naturally welcomed the envoy of Idar, Joey Hicks, at this moment.

"See His Majesty the King——"

Although this time he had other tasks besides submitting his credentials, Joey Hicks' etiquette was indeed impeccable.

King Clark Poulsen of Basel sat on the throne and looked curiously at the polite messenger in front of him.

There was no way, the Odin people suffered a tragic defeat at the hands of the Principality of Idar. The news had spread almost throughout the entire continent, and almost all the nobles were very interested in the new regime of the Principality of Idar.

While the Kingdom of Basel was sizing up the Idar envoy, Joey Hicks was also observing the king on the throne.

Clark Poulsen is now forty-five years old. Compared with the beautiful Queen Alana, His Majesty the King can be said to be a typical obese patient.

The round belly almost broke through the luxurious robe he was wearing. At first glance, it looked like a big belly. UU Reading www.uukｎshu.net Perhaps it was due to long-term alcoholism, but there was still a hint of alcoholism in the expression of His Majesty the King. An unusual flush.

"His Majesty King Clark Poulsen of Basel, on behalf of Bruno Stuart, Duke of Idar, I send you my most sincere greetings."

The king's chamberlain quickly and respectfully took the letter of credence and presented it to the king's case.

"belch--"

Guo Guo, who had just finished lunch, burped from wine, glanced at it carefully, and said:

"The envoy from the Principality of Idar had a pleasant journey to the Kingdom of Basel..."

"I have never seen such a vast territory and such a large number of people. The natural scenery of the Kingdom of Basel is very fascinating."

The land is vast but extremely barren, the people are numerous but extremely poor, the natural scenery is beautiful but the cultural scenery is a mess...

Joey Hicks showed envy in his eyes and secretly added in his heart.
