I really just want to be a big lord

Chapter 30
In the beginning, the land where the core continent could live and carry out production activities was far smaller than it is now, basically only a part of the coast and a few peripheral islands.

Because it is difficult to expand the territory in the north and west, and overseas is restricted by navigation technology and dangers at sea, there is no way to sail far.

Someone once tried to sail along the coastline, wanting to bypass the endless forest, but there was no news of it, and disappeared directly during the voyage.

Therefore, in order to compete for resources, the nobles on the core mainland and the main islands fought for years, conquered, annexed, and enslaved each other, and gradually formed the three largest forces, called the Three Kings.

The three kings fought non-stop at the beginning, but they were all about the same in strength, and there were three checks and balances, so no one could do anything to the other.

So, the three kings who had been fighting for many years finally sat down to negotiate peace, formed the Holy Bless Alliance, and came up with such a thing as the "soul subordination contract".

But they don't directly use the "soul subordination contract" to control the subordinate nobles. On the contrary, they wantonly reward those nobles who help them conquer the world, give them territories, and let them use the "soul subordination contract" to establish the relationship between subordinates and territories. rule.

The Three Kings, on the other hand, established the Holy Blessing Palace and the Retribution Knights to help maintain the entire set of ruling foundations established by the "Soul Subordination Contract".

Naturally, there were resistance and suppression during this period, but the chaos was not great, and it was quickly crushed and quelled by absolute power. Afterwards, this management and ruling system succeeded in controlling the impact of conquests among the nobles to a minimum. .

Next, Shengyou Palace began to coordinate the nobles to gather forces to develop north and west, and wipe out those forests bit by bit.

Territories around Yulang City, like Kaios and the others, were all carved out of the endless forest.

Benan, the most powerful contract servant of the Li family, has been developing territory in the north.

The biggest workload of this kind of pioneering is logging, then processing and transporting the wood, and finally coping with the sudden attacks of various creatures of different strengths in the forest, maintaining the progress of logging, and protecting logging facilities.

The dangers dealt with in this process are relatively random. Most of the time, it seems that a few middle-level auras or magicians of level 7 or 8 can guard without any problem, but sometimes when encountering a large wave of monsters or powerful giant monsters Beast, that top-level powerhouse will call for reinforcements to deal with it.

Moreover, the territory opened up does not directly become the official territory owned by the pioneering nobles, but is more like a resource that can be exchanged.

Basically, the "living territory" opened up by logging and destroying forests in the northern border needs to pass through the Holy Blessing Palace to exchange for other magical transformations that have been developed relatively well, or are closer to the main city, and are included in the patrols of the Knights of Discipline The "economic territory" of the scope of protection.

Of course, the exchange is not equal in area. Depending on the grade and value of the "economic territory", there will be different exchange ratios, but the cheapest is at least 5:1. A better "economic territory" may need to be replaced with other nobles In order to put the territory together, 10:1 or even 30:1 is possible.

In comparison, the situation in the western realm is much more complicated.

Naturally, there is also an endless forest in the western realm, but other than that, there are still some people who refuse to join the Holy Blessed Alliance.

Among these people are the original nobles of the Western Realm, some strong men from all walks of life who are unwilling to establish a soul subordination contract, and some former nobles of the Holy Blessing Alliance who were killed by the disciplinary knights for breaking the rules of the Holy Blessing Palace for various reasons. The terrain also makes use of the endless forest, constantly dealing with and confronting the aristocratic coalition forces of the Holy Blessed Alliance and the Retribution Knights.

Therefore, the development of the Western Territory has always been relatively difficult. If the territory is seized from the so-called "Western Barbarians", some can even exchange 1:1 with the "economic territory" in the heartland of Shengyou Palace.

But those who can open up in the western realm are all great nobles and top lords, and those of the baron level like Keos have no qualifications to open up the western realm at all-neither ranked nor capable.

In the book that Keos read before, the north and the west were mentioned, mainly about the endless forest, and he didn’t talk much about those people and organizations who resisted the Holy Blessed Alliance in the west. After taking back this prisoner in the west today, he Only then began to look for more relevant information.

……

In the middle of the night, Kaios woke up from the desk in a daze, and found that he seemed to have read for too long and fell asleep unknowingly.

He felt a little thirsty, so he got up and went to the living room to open the refrigerator, took out a half bottle of Coke and drank it.

But just after taking two sips, he suddenly felt something was wrong.

But he can't tell what's wrong, except that the Coke has a little less gas, is it okay?
The mobile phone on the table rang suddenly. He went to pick it up, but found that the caller ID was "Dad".

His heart skipped a beat, why would his father call him in the early morning?

As soon as the mobile phone was connected, the father's cold voice sounded over there: "How is the result, have you passed this time?"

"The results haven't come out yet, and...after the written test, there will be an interview..."

"Do you think you can pass the written test?"

"dad……"

"I know you don't want to think about it at all! You never wanted to pass the exam! You just want to use this as an excuse not to go to work and suck my blood for the rest of your life!"

"I..." His father's words were like a chisel, hitting his heart one after another, but the words he wanted to refute reached his throat, but he couldn't say anything.

"I won't keep you in vain anymore!" Father's voice was as cold as ice, and fell to the ground.

The phone was hung up, the door was suddenly opened, and the landlord brought people in and started moving things.

"It's so late, what are you guys doing?" Keos hurried forward to stop him.

"Your father won't pay your rent, can you pay it yourself?" The landlord looked at him with a sneer, "Go away, find a place to live by yourself!"

"Let go, don't touch my things!" Kaios panicked.

……

"Master, what's the matter with you, master?" A familiar voice came from beside him.

Keos stood up abruptly and saw clearly the person next to him who was concerned about him, subconsciously pulled her into his arms and hugged her tightly.

"master……"

"It's okay, I'll give you a hug."

Salveira wanted to say something, but felt that Kaios was tightening her arms tightly. She finally said nothing, but put her hand on Kaios' back lightly.

In the study room, he fell asleep because he was fascinated by the books and materials in the western world. After having this dream that he couldn't tell if it was a nightmare, Kaios couldn't fall asleep again.

He simply went to the warehouse again, stood in front of the forbidden spirit cage, and looked at the woman sitting cross-legged inside.

The woman also opened her eyes and looked at him.

When handing over to the auctioneer, Kaios once asked the woman's name and origin, but the answer she received was:
"You'd better not know."

For those auction items in the Western Realm, the description of the auction deliberately erased the specific origin and detailed name, but only introduced their objective quality, grade, effect, material, etc.

However, by reading the relevant information, Keos also understood that the fact that this captive from the Western Realm, who may have super-strength before, can appear in the auction field shows a fact:
The power she belonged to, everything she owned, had vanished into thin air and was completely destroyed.

Therefore, what Kaios is facing now is a fallen strong man who has lost everything, is seriously injured, and bears a blood feud, and to some extent, he belongs to her enemy's camp.

Is there really a way to get good impressions and get rid of the red circle?

He had expected that it would be difficult, but looking at it now, it seemed to be even more difficult than he expected.

While thinking this way, Kaios suddenly noticed that the red halo behind the woman's head suddenly faded a little bit.

Kaios was a little puzzled, he would come in now, didn't say anything, didn't do anything?
