Chapter 2: Pioneering Documents and the Three Major Wizarding Factions(1/2)
The title "His Royal Highness" is generally used for princes. Again, only the son of a duke is qualified to be called "His Royal Highness". No matter how you think about it, the word "His Royal Highness" has nothing to do with Iris, the son of a baron. Their mother
It’s nothing special. I’ve basically lived in the barony my whole life.
So this title...
Thinking of his brother's outrageous fighting power just now, Isaac did not continue to think about it. He just calmed down and lay flat.
When Isaac and Iris came to the meeting hall, a middle-aged man wearing the same knight lining as Iris was sitting at the head of the long table. This was their father, Baron Rey.
Er Solomon.
"Isaac, are you not hurt?" Baron Reyer looked at Isaac.
"No, I have better luck." Isaac nodded and sat in the second position on the left, opposite Iris and in Edward's starting position.
"That's good. It should be the Charlemagne family who takes action this time. This account will be settled slowly." Baron Reyer first gave Isaac a promise, and then looked at Iris and interrupted him.
asked, "Don't worry about the Charlemagne family for the time being. You should take a look at this first."
After speaking, Baron Rael pushed a gold-edged document on the table in front of Iris.
Iris frowned slightly. To be honest, he wanted to deal with the Charlemagne family who dared to attack his younger brother first.
It just so happens that he knows a lady who has a grudge against the Charlemagne family, so he can use this excuse to launch an attack.
But Baron Rael asked him to put it down temporarily...
Iris picked up the document pushed over by Baron Rael with doubts, and with just one glance, he was shocked!
"Pioneering documents?!"
Jennifer, who had just entered the meeting hall, heard the name, and she and Isaac looked at Iris in surprise.
The pioneering document itself is not rare, but what is rare is that it appears in the Solomon family.
Pioneering documents are not uncommon in the Lionheart Kingdom, or the continent of Kerry. Every new generation of nobles will have one. No matter how many children you have, you will have one, and it is mandatory!
This is one of the nobles' obligations, to open up territory for the Lionheart Kingdom.
In addition, as long as you are a knight, you can go directly to the kingdom's capital, Lion City, to receive the development documents, and directly become a pioneering knight. If you develop enough territory, you can also become a noble.
Moreover, this rule also applies to nobles. This is one of the few ways for nobles to be promoted during peacetime.
But!
Developing territory is not an easy matter on the entire continent, otherwise the nobles would not be able to enforce it.
Because developing territory is not that simple, I won’t mention the hardware of early start-up funds and intermediate development funds. Ordinary nobles can complete it with gritted teeth. The core point is the lack of benefits in the later period.
The place that needs to be opened up is the dark territory, where there is only the magic of chaos, and even food cannot be grown in the first ten years!
And there won’t be any minerals within fifty years!
To put it simply, there is no hair at all.
If that's all it is, then that's okay. At worst, if you pay more and expand slowly, isn't it just to raise more people? If you can't do agriculture, you can still engage in handicrafts, which can bring back some blood.
But the truth is not that simple. The dark land is full of monsters corroded by dark magic. It is extremely dangerous. Even the knight cannot survive alone in it!
Naturally, no one will do the dangerous and unprofitable drudgery.
Including big nobles.
Because you are pioneering on behalf of the Kingdom, the territory you develop does not belong to you, it belongs to the Kingdom. Only the first fifty years belong to you, well, because after fifty years the territory will return to normal.
Although the kingdom will give you some rewards, to be honest, those with such pioneering ability basically look down upon this reward. Therefore, although the Lionheart Kingdom has been established for more than 200 years, it has only successfully developed two baronies. So,
The combined area is not as large as Solomon's territory.
You can imagine how troublesome this matter is.
This is also one of the important reasons why Isaac wants to lie down.
The reason why it is strange for the pioneering documents to appear in the Solomon family is not because they are so special, but because they have already used this thing, and now Iris is the pioneering baron.
"For me?" Isaac asked with a frown.
"Yes." Iris nodded, and then looked at Baron Rael, "Father, does Isaac's assassination have something to do with this?"
"Well, the kingdom's stargazers predicted not long ago that there will be a crisis that will affect the entire continent in the future! The kingdom is very likely to be extinct in this disaster! Therefore, a development document was specially issued, and some nobles were required to participate in order to strengthen
With the power of the kingdom, the kingdom will allocate part of its resources for assistance this time." Having said this, the baron glanced at Isaac.
"The right to develop this time is only owned by some nobles. Originally, His Majesty the King intended to transfer this quota to Iris. His pioneering territory is now developing at a high speed. At this time, the kingdom's support is tantamount to a
It came in time, but I refused, do you know why? Isaac."
Looking at the baron for a moment, Isaac nodded and said in a deep voice: "The glory of Solomon!"
"That's right! Everything in the Solomon family was built little by little by our ancestors following His Majesty the Lion-Hearted King! So members of the Solomon family must not shrink back at times like this! After enjoying the rights of the nobility, they should take on the corresponding responsibilities
!Isaac Solomon!"
Baron Rael stood up and took the document from Iris, handed it to Isaac, and shouted in a deep voice.
Isaac was silent for a moment, and finally stood up. Life as a salted fish... doesn't seem to be so easy to obtain...
"Father!"
"Now I, Rael Solomon, on behalf of His Majesty the Lionheart King, grant you the pioneering territory of Blackstone Castle. Under the witness of the pioneering baron Iris Solomon, I give you the name of Blackstone!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Isaac put his right hand on his chest and bowed slightly.
The ceremony of acting as a knight is relatively simple and there is not so much etiquette.
"After you become a wizard, go to the pioneering territory. You can deal with the grudges with Charlemagne's family. You can't do anything without justifiable reasons within the kingdom." Handing the document to Isaac, Baron Rael looked into Isaac's eyes.
said.
He knew the character of his youngest son very well, so he used this method to force him to open up territories and risk his future. Otherwise, if Isaac had to make his own choice, this kid would probably choose a manor in the rear where he would be safe and secure.
Live a stable life.
Forget it if it were in the past, the Solomon family could support him, but now the crisis is approaching, and he is lying down just waiting to die. He must consider Isaac's future.
But he also knew very well that there were many secrets in this young son's body, and he would be punished. The matter of the Charlemagne family could not just go away.
So after a pause, he continued: "I heard that the Charlemagne family has a village that has been run for generations next to Blackstone Castle. It is still ten years away from becoming a formal territory. If you are interested, you can help them. After all, they are all kingdoms.
The nobility."
Isaac was stunned for a moment, then smiled and replied: "I understand, father."
The following discussion has nothing to do with Isaac. It is basically a discussion between Baron Rael and Iris, exchanging information, and their respective countermeasures.
…………
"Pfft~"
Back in the bedroom, Isaac threw himself hard on the bed and looked at the ceiling depressedly, just a little bit, just a little bit closer!
As long as it was a day or two later, he could leave Solomon's territory, go to a safe and comfortable manor to become his own landlord, and then start living a peaceful life, but...
"This fucking crisis! Harmon, it couldn't have been caused by you two, right?" Isaac looked at the ceiling suspiciously.
"Tear~"
There was a tearing sound, and the ferocious claws appeared from the back of Isaac's neck again, but at this moment, the claws showed a bit of grievance that was inconsistent with its ferocious appearance.
"Huh? It's not you? Oh, that's right. You're not good at these things. That guy's name isn't even complete right now. It's really unlikely that he's you. That would be weird... Is it a disaster sweeping the continent? It's a bit, troublesome~"
Demon Claw Harmon was a little confused when he saw this. It was just a disaster sweeping a continent, so what's the trouble? Shouldn't the real trouble be the mistress's pregnancy?
Harmon doesn't understand, and doesn't want to understand. Anyway, he only has two hands now, no brain, and is too lazy to think about it.
The huge claws flew to the table, carefully pinched a grape and flew towards Isaac, which looked particularly inconsistent.
Isaac had long been accustomed to this scene, and he opened his mouth to eat the grapes. After saying thank you casually, he opened a panel that only he could see. Well, a homemade panel.
Name:Isaac Solomon
Race:Creation God (reserve)
"...What the hell is the God of Creation? Why has it changed again? I said, this thing is used by me to calculate my own data. Please don't change it blindly, okay?" Isaac rolled his eyes and faced the unknown existence.
said.
Perhaps because of Isaac's words, the words "Creation God" on the panel began to slowly change.
Race: Human (and Creation God Reserve)
Isaac:......
After a moment of silence, Isaac decided not to bother correcting him. Anyway, it only lasted a few days, and whether the information about race was corrected or not would not have much impact.

Level: Wizard Apprentice, Peak, Dzogchen, Late Stage, Beginner
Isaac automatically ignored the long string of rude suffixes and only glanced at the words wizard apprentice. Soon the word apprentice will be gone. Very soon, tonight!
