Reborn Dragon Vein Warlock, Genius Beauty Mage

The town of Dragon Claw is now a city in addition to its name. Christine has accepted refugees and slaves from dozens of large and small noble territories such as the Quimper Territory. These abundant and cheap labor forces have contributed to the construction of the Stewart Territory. huge contribution.

A glorious family must have a city named after it. The reason why Dragon Claw Town has not changed its name now is because everyone agrees that Earl Stewart will wait until the demon disaster is over and accept the reward.

One of the criteria for becoming a marquis is to own land in a county, which is the so-called earth-splitting title. However, there are still loopholes to exploit. Because of the enfeoffment system, the territories of large nobles often have fiefs of small nobles. Therefore, not the entire county must belong to this noble, so as long as the total area of ​​​​the territories owned is enough. . As long as it is larger than the smallest county in the country, this matter can be figured out.

After a demonic disaster breaks out, nobles can expand their land by exterminating demons in exchange for demon-slaying points, but not too much.

For example, a count has about fifty villages and one city (including vassals). If half of them are attacked by randomly transmitted demons, there are only thirty teams. After destroying them, the points gained are more than 6,000. .

This is the total number of demons that can appear in the earl territory in the entire demonic disaster. If you want to get demon-slaying points, you must help other nobles to eliminate demons.

According to the provisions of the "Devil-Slaying Order", only three thousand points can be obtained to obtain a barony, which means that the earl can obtain the land of two baronies. But the problem is that this earl does not just make a profit but not lose any money. If some villages are also lost in the magic disaster, the actual land area that can be increased in the end is not much.

By analogy, even if the viscounts and barons further down the ladder persist until the end of the demonic disaster, they will be able to obtain even less territory. There are also many people who are not as lucky as Baron Quimper and Baron Brest, and their land does not increase but decreases. .

But this Earl Stewart is different. She also has a fleet fighting outside. If she sinks a demon transport ship, she will receive two to three hundred demon-slaying points. No one can deny that she can gain considerable territory after the war.

So patiently wait until the demonic disaster is over, and announce the change of the town into a city at the promotion ceremony. This will be an extremely glorious event in the family's history.

.

Christine held a banquet at Stewart Castle to entertain senior officials from the major churches and guilds involved in the war.

The scale of this castle standing on a hill beside the river is only inferior to the one in the royal palace in the Kingdom of France. At this level, while ensuring outer defense, internal comfort must also be taken into consideration.

For example, the hall where the banquet is being held is no worse than a comfortable manor in terms of internal height and large windows around it. And because it is on the upper level of the castle, you can see the beautiful view of the Brittany River from the balcony. , this is what the manor does not have.

Needless to say, the banquet was luxurious. The tableware, candlesticks, and various utensils used were inherited from the Stuart family, dating back at least five hundred years. Decorative sculptures and paintings are also made by masters.

Especially the lighting array at the top of the hall that uses magic stones to power up. It costs ten gold coins an hour to turn it on. The switch also requires at least one magician apprentice to control it. This is not something that ordinary nobles can afford.

As for food, even though it has been nearly a year since the outbreak of the demonic disaster, the banquet held by Earl Stewart is still as sumptuous as before.

While they were enjoying each other, a maid hurriedly walked in and whispered a few words in Elena's ear. Then Elena walked to Christine and whispered: "Your Majesty, Viscount Brieux is fighting." Die, the body was brought back by Tam."

"I see."

Christine put down the tableware in her hands, stood up and said, "Everyone, we have to suspend the banquet. Bad news, Viscount Brieux died in the battle."

"what?"

Everyone present was very surprised after hearing this.

Viscount Brieux sent his son Lambert Brieux to ask for help since he discovered the traces of demons. Although it was delayed for a week because he could not contact Christine, the attack speed of the demon army would not be so fast. Besides, even if you can't fight, you can't run away, and you won't die in battle, right?

With doubts, everyone followed Christine to the courtyard of the castle.

Under the illumination of a dozen blazing torches, everyone saw the body of Viscount Brieuc, which was placed on a farmer's cart. Next to them were a dozen soldiers whose clothes were torn and covered in blood, and the priest was treating them. There are also several people dressed as thieves. The first one is wearing the sixth-level emblem, which is Tam Tiak.

Seeing Christine bringing everyone over, Tam stepped forward and saluted: "Your Majesty, Earl, when I led people to explore the movements of the devil, I met Viscount Brieux who broke out. When I rescued him, the Viscount was seriously injured. He was not injured. He died soon after."

When Lambert saw his father's body, he couldn't control his emotions and rushed over, shouting. Everyone then gathered around and saw that Viscount Brieux had multiple wounds on his body, the most fatal of which was the one on his abdomen.

Lambert held the body of Viscount Brieux and cried, "My Lords, Bishops, I know that there is a magic called resurrection. I am willing to pay any price to save my father. "

The bishop of the God of Light stepped forward and explained: "Lord Lambert, our level is not enough to perform this magic. Besides, even if the cardinal is here, your father is not qualified to perform this magic."

After listening to the bishop's words, Lambert slumped to the ground helplessly. Since there was nothing he could do, he could only accept the reality.

Resurrection, this divine magic that defies heaven, does exist, but because it rarely appears, ordinary people know little about it.

(Setting of this book) Resurrection is a ninth-level spell that can only be cast by cardinals of level 16 or above. The price is that the ninth-level magic can no longer be used for one year. The requirements for this magical technique are also very high. First of all, it cannot be a natural death. Secondly, there must be a corpse and the brain must be intact. Finally, the time of death must not exceed twenty-four hours. It doesn't matter whether the body is missing arms or legs, being disemboweled, etc.

How can the gap between life and death be broken so easily? Otherwise, people will lose their respect for death. This is not what the God of Death wants to see, or it will destroy the progress of the world.

The soldiers next to him all belonged to the Brieux Territory. After receiving treatment, a knight attendant told everyone what happened.
