Chapter 146 (1/2)
The territory Sean named was not small, even comparable to a baron collar. Of course, this is the result of taking the black swan castle and the surrounding land into account. If not counting the black swan castle and the surrounding area, it is just about the size of a jazz collar.
It's just that this territory is nominally owned by yasna, but in fact, yasna herself has not confirmed it, and even the delivery ceremony with the kingdom of dabion has not been completed - it's not her laziness, but a territory that clearly pits people. Naturally, yasna can't want it. The kingdom of dabion didn't seem to mind yasna's attitude. They didn't even have the Council and directly evacuated all the troops. In this way, this territory became a land without owners.
There are three towns in the whole territory. After losing the protection of the Lord, the three towns need to face the aliens that may attack in the wilderness, which has made the three territories complain a lot in the past year. In order to get rid of this ubiquitous shadow, the three towns also came up with some ways, that is, they began to hire mercenaries to help garrison, and because the taxes of the territory no longer need to be paid to the Lord, so they naturally have extra money. After a long time, the three towns have become an lawless area.
As for black swan castle, it was the castle of a viscount in the kingdom of dabion. His original territory just occupied another third of the angloda mountains. It was also because he refused the oath of Athena that triggered the war between the two countries. In the war, the Viscount was the first to die under Athena's army. Later, after annexing this territory, black swan castle became Athena's property.
The reason why black swan castle is famous is that there is an artificial lake in this ancient castle, which does not cover a large area, but it is an underground spring. At that time, a large group of black swans rested here, and they were not afraid of people. Naturally, they added a beautiful scenery to the ancient castle, so people called it black swan castle. However, with the death of the Lord, after a war, there were no black swans in black swan castle.
At the beginning, Asina even came here to live for a short time. She wanted to meet these so-called black swans. Unfortunately, a black swan did not appear. Asina was so depressed that she returned to tonis fortress. Since then, the ancient castle was completely abandoned due to lack of repair and maintenance. Later, the story of haunting came out somehow, and the ancient castle became a Ghost Castle.
At this time, if Sean hadn't mentioned the castle, yasna would almost forget that there was such a castle on the edge of her territory.
”Black swan castle is no problem for you.” Yasna said, ”but the territory you named has some trouble.”
”Trouble?” This time it's Sean's turn not to understand.
Although he knew that the territory belonged to Athena, how could he know that Athena did not have a delivery ceremony with the kingdom of dabion for some reason? So at this time, Sean couldn't react to hearing yasna say trouble, but looked at yasna with a puzzled face.
”Although this territory belongs to me in name, in fact, I did not get the contract from the kingdom of dabion.” Yasina was not vague, and simply explained the current situation to Sean, ”although the kingdom of dabion retains the contract documents, in fact, they do not protect this territory any more, so this territory has now become an autonomous territory... An autonomous territory living between the kingdom of dabion and the Principality of lane.”
Sean frowned slightly. The subtext of yasna's remark was very clear, that is, he wanted the territory, but the legitimate right of the territory was not on her, and the security of the territory was probably very bad. It is even possible that because of the laissez faire and autonomy of the past year, even if there are lords in the past, they will not buy it. After all, once freedom is used to, it is difficult to accept any constraints.
”It doesn't matter. If I can't control this territory well, I'm not qualified to say that to you.” Sean smiled as if he didn't care much.
”Since you think there's no problem, I'll arrange the relevant procedures.” Seeing Sean's insistence, Athena nodded and said no more, ”by the way, I don't know your last name?”
”Connery.” Sean thought a little and then said, ”Sean Connery.”
”OK, I see.” Athena nodded.
Then Sean and Athena left. Anyway, things have been done, so it's not necessary to stay here. But this time, it was not Elizabeth who sent Sean out of the house, but a thunder front soldier who led the way, which made Sean relax. After all, Sean felt a little uncomfortable following Elizabeth.
When it was confirmed that Sean had left, Elizabeth suddenly closed the door, opened a chair and sat down, looking at Athena curiously.
”What's the matter?” Athena saw Elizabeth sitting here, but she didn't speak. She couldn't help asking curiously.
In her impression, Elizabeth rarely showed such behavior.
”You want to give him a territory?” Elizabeth's voice was somewhat surprised. ”Judging from the territory he divided, it should be as big as a baron's collar. But although you are a marquis, you don't have the power to be a baron, and now the Principality of Ryan has some big opinions on you, and the aristocratic circle is also unprecedented unity with each other. It's impossible for you to insert another aristocrat. ”
