Chapter 326 (1/2)
The heraldry of the house of Lords.
In the spacious reception room, Qin Feng reclined comfortably on the chair and enjoyed the service of a beautiful maid. In the archives room next door, several junior clerks were busy at the urging of the superior officials.
A noble and young great mage master is enough to let these idle guys to serve them wholeheartedly. Such high-quality customers are not often met.
After a while, dozens of thick ancient books as thick as wall bricks were found, and the maids at the door wiped off the dust one by one with white silk scarves, and then moved in and put them in front of Qin Feng.
On the covers of the thick ancient books and records, there are gilded family emblem with different styles. After opening, the detailed introduction of each family is given, including the origin, development and growth process, brilliant deeds, main members of the family, and the situation of fiefdoms, etc. Among them, there are many ancient eldest families which have been inherited for nearly a thousand years.
The world's aristocrats pay attention to inheritance and blood, so most of these materials are not difficult to find and easy to verify. Even if there is a hundred days in the world, it is still applicable to the rule of ”no one in the world”?
Therefore, due to various reasons, many of the aristocrats who went bankrupt and lost their titles would choose to sell their titles in exchange for the last bit of money, trying to tide over the difficulties and make a comeback. Once in a while, some of them succeeded in the favor of the goddess of fate, while many others still failed. Then all their past affairs would be taken back by the heraldry Office of the noble house and sold as marked goods.
Qin Feng silently looked at these genealogies with a strong historical flavor. In order to facilitate future activities in this field, it was necessary to get a noble title, which could not be too low. Of course, it was too high, which seemed to attract people's attention. A marquis or count should be about it.
Next to it, one of the clerks said politely: ” According to your requirements, there are 27 suitable choices, all of them are ancient aristocrats with fallen families. Their complete genealogical data, titles and territories are all there. You can choose at will. But I personally think that the most suitable choice for you is the Marquis of Starwood? Or the Duke of Lanhua? Other titles are good, but... ”
Qin Feng understood that he didn't mean it in his mouth. The ethnic characteristics of the main members of the two aristocratic families were similar to those of the Chinese blood. The same black eyes and black hair made him feel a little more identity.
The court clerk, who was accustomed to observing his words and looks, was very keen to catch Qin Feng's slightly surprised look when he was browsing through the genealogies of the two families, so he made such a proposal.
”Well, that's it.”
Qin Feng weighed for a moment and put his hand on the genealogy of marquis Xingshan.
Although the Duke looked better, the fiefdom was located on the border with the kingdom of yaston. It is difficult to say who this territory belongs to in the future under the situation of a large-scale war between the two countries. Or if he doesn't want his territory to be swallowed up by the kingdom of yaston, he has to find a way to participate in the war and defeat the country. But where does he have time to spend here?
The Marquis of Xingshan originated more than 700 years ago. It is said that his ancestors had a record of marriage with one kingdom and two Grand Duchess. There were also many powerful saints in the holy land. Unfortunately, none of them could step into the realm of legend. Otherwise, with the protection of legendary strong men, he would not fall so easily.
The Marquis's territory is located on a plain in the hinterland of the Kingdom, adjacent to a big river, with a total area of about 6000 square kilometers, which is considered to be in the order of the marquis. There are two medium-sized cities in the territory, as well as dozens of villages and towns of different sizes. The total population is about one million. This is the statistical data of more than 30 years ago, and it should be more now.
The old castles of the Marquis family are still preserved and well maintained. There is a small magic gold mine in the territory, and there is no other mineral resources. However, due to its proximity to the river, commercial activities in the territory are quite prosperous. There is also a large shipbuilding workshop, and the annual tax revenue is considerable.
