Demon King Doesn’t Have to be Overthrown (The Devil Does Not Need to Be Defeated / Why Defeat The Devil?)
Chapter 295: This nobleman, I deserve it!
Nobles are generally divided into two types.
One is the kingdom nobles with territories.
One is the honorary aristocracy without territory.
The former, as the name suggests, is the territory granted by the kingdom. It takes the territory as a base, occupies the land as the king, becomes the lord, and regards the development of the territory as a nobleman who has his own responsibility.
This kind of noble has the right to form a private knight order, can own an army, and has extremely high powers. Basically all matters in the territory are controlled by them. Unless they commit a serious crime or cannot contribute to the development of the territory for many years, then that The territory will be reclaimed and demoted to the altar. Otherwise, in addition to the need to hand over 20% of the income from the territory to the kingdom every year, the rights of this nobleman are the highest and greatest in the territory, and even the royal family has no right to intervene casually.
The latter will not get territory, but has the same rights as the former. Not only can they form private knights and private armies, but they can also receive worship from the kingdom every year. Depending on the rank of the title, the honors they receive are also different.
Some of them will serve in the kingdom and become relevant powers in all aspects of the kingdom and other territories, while others choose to be freelancers, travel everywhere, and even become adventurers.
For example, the Razahad family where Mighis and Lely are located is the honorary nobleman, the rank is the marquis, and is responsible for all matters of the Adventurer’s Guild. The family has managed the Adventurer’s Guild for generations, and Erbe, where Alidia is located. The same is true for the Yin family. The unit that serves is the Knights. It is also an honorary nobleman, and the rank class is also a marquis.
Of course, the relationship between the nobles of the kingdom and the kingdom will be deeper.
After all, there are territorial connections, even if you don't want to be involved, that's impossible.
Honorary aristocrats have higher degrees of freedom. Unless they choose to serve in the kingdom’s power organs, unless they do something that harms the kingdom, the kingdom will not exercise control no matter what they want to do.
The honorary aristocrats who do not hold positions in the power organs of the kingdom have only one obligation.
That is, when the kingdom is in danger, it must come to help.
In view of this, it is undoubtedly more suitable for people like Sean to become an honorary aristocrat.
Rosie said that Sean could make a choice between becoming a territorial nobleman and an honorary nobleman.
"Then I will be an honorary noble!"
Sheehan made such a decision without hesitation.
Therefore, Rosie immediately promised Sean on behalf of the royal family.
"Since you decide to become an honorary nobleman, the kingdom will not grant you territory, but you still have the right to form a knight order and a private army, but the size of the knight order and the size of the army will be affected by the title."
"For example, the lowest-rank baron among the nobles, they only have the right to form a hundred-man knights and a thousand-man army, and the size of the knights and private armies cannot exceed this limit."
"The Viscount can form a thousand-man knights and an army of ten thousand people."
"The earl can form a knights of 10,000 people and an army of 100,000 people."
"The Marquis can form a knights of 100,000 people and an army of one million people."
"The Duke can form a knights of a million people and an army of ten million people."
"This is a rule on the surface and cannot be violated."
As long as it is within this prescribed scale, the nobles can decide for themselves how they want to form a knight order and private army.
Sheehan wanted to complain.
"Never mind the front, is it possible that there will be millions in the back?"
Take the knights alone, even the kingdom knights have fewer than 100,000 people. A marquis, even if he has the right to form a knights of 100,000 people, what about it?
Does he have a way to get to the head?
Not to mention the Duke, the idea of forming a knights of one million people and an army of ten million people is not a joke, right?
Sheehan slandered.
However, Sean also understands that this is just to set a limit. It is only used to restrict the relatively large number of small nobles and prevent them from having too many private soldiers. The big nobles give them a good-looking right. If you can't make up a knight order and an army of this size, it depends on their own ability.
And Sean's words...
"In view of your two achievements, the kingdom has decided to directly grant you the title of Viscount."
Rosie said this to Sheehan.
"The viscount can form a knights of a thousand people and an army of ten thousand people, and enjoy 10,000 gold coins per year, which means that you can receive 10,000 gold coins from the kingdom every year as sacrifices. In addition, you can also get a house in the noble district, that house The kingdom decides to choose for you. If you are not satisfied, you can also choose to ask the kingdom for a thousand gold coins and go to the noble district to buy it yourself."
In these words of Rosie, Sean only cared about the sacrifice of the ten thousand gold coins and the ownership of a house.
Because this represents a meaning.
"Lao Tzu is not only a ten-thousand-dollar household...No, it is a ten-thousand-a-kind household, and he has a house directly?"
Is this the rhythm of the poor becoming rich?
I don't know what Rosie was thinking in Sheen's heart and continue to explain.
"After becoming an honorary viscount, if you want to serve in the kingdom, you can apply directly to the palace. After the verification is completed, the kingdom will assign you a certain position."
"The higher the title, the better the position. If you can become an honorary earl, you will directly hold a high-power position and be eligible to attend the Kingdom Council."
"Of course, you probably wouldn't want to hold a post."
Rosie introduced to Sheehan the various rights and even the various privileges of being a nobleman.
This made Sean suddenly feel that becoming a nobleman doesn't seem like a bad thing.
Even if he is not interested in what he holds, Sheen still thinks that he can have some rights and privileges.
If this is not the case, why do so many people want to become nobles?
especially...
"The kingdom has a clear stipulation that civilians are not allowed to marry a side room, and there can only be one wife, and only merchants who have contributed to the kingdom can marry one more concubine."
"Nobles have the right to polygamy, but it also depends on the rank."
"The baron can have one wife and one concubine."
"The viscount can have one wife and two concubines."
"Earl can have two wives and three concubines."
"Marquis can have three wives and four concubines."
"The duke can have four wives and five concubines."
"Only the royal family, there is no limit. How big the harem is, how many side rooms can be married, but the children of the side rooms do not have the right to inherit the throne. When the king of the same generation is determined in the future, their children will not be given the title of the duke, only the main family. Children have the right to inherit the throne. If they fail to ascend to the throne in the end, they will be awarded the title of Duke. Therefore, the number of main houses will not be too many, up to five."
When Rosie said these things, she was staring at Sheen.
And Sheehan?
When he heard that the Viscount could marry one wife and two concubines, he had already stood up.
"My loyalty to the kingdom can be learned from the sun and the moon, and everyone can see it. Therefore, this nobleman, I deserve it!"
Sean's serious words made Rosie's mouth twitch, and she wanted to bite him twice.
Wasn't it pretty tough before?
You continue to be tough! Soul is pale!
