"Earl of Glamorgan? Or real seal!"

Rennes was a little lost when he heard about the title.

At the beginning of the establishment of the empire, each title had a corresponding territory, and the official title of the noble would add fiefs to the title.

For example, Viola's Earl of Dongting, "Dongting" refers to her territory, and the Earl is her rank.

Since the royal family disappeared more than a thousand years ago and the Supreme Council of Kemitis took power, the aristocratic system has gradually changed and many false seals have emerged.

The Void Nobles had no territory, but only had a title that symbolized status, so they were relatively simple in terms of title.

Pollock, who was just canonized today, just when Duke Silver Star awarded him the title, he only said that he was granted the position of baron and had no territory title, so Pollock only needs to be called the baron.

And Count Glamorgan obviously has territory!

Judging from the name, this territory is called Glamorgan, and it is the territory of the Earls, and it must be quite large in area.

The real earl of the Empire usually automatically obtains seats as members of the Empire and enters the Empire Parliament.

Orionthor Empire Parliament!

This is the center of power of the empire, with less than 300 members of parliament in total, each of which is a famous figure or extraordinary person.

"Glamorgan..."

Renn's mind changed rapidly. In his memory, there were only three earls under the Duke of Longshande, and Earl Dongting was one of them, and there was no Glamorgen.

"I have a little impression of this name, I think I've seen it somewhere?"

Renn lowered his head, wondering if he should accept it.

Judging from the reactions of the guests who watched the ceremony, this title is definitely not simple. It is probably not a good thing that Duke Silver Star suddenly gave this gift.

Rennes was not knocked unconscious by the pie that fell from the sky.

He secretly opened the mobile library and was about to search for Glamorgan's origin when a force came from his shoulder.

Out of the corner of my eyes, I saw the staff that the Duke of Silver Star was pressing down gently on his shoulder.

"Um?"

The Duke of Silver Star let out a low hum, as if he was a little dissatisfied.

Rennes, who had a crisp knee, felt heavy pressure. This pressure did not come from magic or the power of the staff, nor was it a spiritual influence, but a powerful deterrent of the superior.

In just two or three seconds, Rennes didn't have room to make a choice.

Everyone's eyes in the auditorium were on him, waiting for his response.

Ren was helpless and could only recite the oath loudly as he had practiced before: "I, Ren Augustus, are willing to devote my loyalty to the lady, life to the empire, and faith to the goddess."

Bang! Bang! Bang!

The staff hit each side of the shoulder to indicate that the title was completed.

Then, the Duke of Silver Star took out a brand new dress, a canonized parchment paper document, and a family badge.

The style of the badge is the same as the last name, and they were submitted to the Town Hall by Rennes.

The half-palm badge is made of gold and is roughly round, with wheat ears on both sides surrounding the red base, and a symbol of a warhammer and a crescent moon in the middle, which looks simple and powerful.

A few days ago, when Renne handed over the family badge he designed to Darrenny, the other party looked at it a few times and asked strangely, why did the crescent moon on the badge have a handle?

Renn didn't answer, but just smiled meaningfully.

He took the dress, parchment and badges, and a burst of amazement and waves of applause came from the auditorium.

When he got up, he saw the corners of Duke Silver Star's mouth slightly raised, showing an incomprehensible smile.

Not only Duke of Silver Star, Renn noticed that some nobles sitting in the front row had a strange expression. When they looked at him, there were shocks, confusions, and doubts. The color of the soul was changing back and forth, and the mood was very complicated. Obviously they knew it.

People who don’t know are either extremely envious or very excited.

Father Bud was so excited that he couldn't speak, his face flushed, and he was trembling with excitement.

Renn returned to his seat and looked at Viola next to him. She shook her head slightly, indicating that it was not the time to explain.

At this time, Mayor Yaras announced the end of the title ceremony. Everyone in the audience stood up and greeted the Duke of Silver Star and several legendary wizards to leave.

The guests who watched the ceremony also ended in an orderly manner.

Several new nobles who were awarded the title were still immersed in joy, communicated with the people around, and accepted everyone's congratulations.

As the two protagonists today, Rennes and Viola simply greeted their acquaintances and left in a hurry.

Outside the auditorium, Renn asked his family to take a carriage home, but he followed Viola away.

There is no need to let them know the inside story of Feng Jue for the time being.

As soon as Renn got into Viola's car, she told the driver: "Go to the Wizard Tower right now."

"Do we want to see the Duke?" Renn asked, searching Glamorgan's information in the mobile library.

There was not much search, but he learned the most critical information.

The territory of Count Glamorgan is actually in Modu!

Moreover, the territory is not in the wilderness area near Modu, but in the middle and outside of Modu.

This territory is not very large, much smaller than the normal Earl Territory, just about one thousand square miles away. However, it covers a large coastal area in the eastern part of Modu and accounts for nearly one-quarter of the entire city!

Renn has never been to Modu, but there is a map in the mobile library.

This world's most prosperous trade capital is built on the south bank of the estuary of the "Naqumo River", the longest river in the empire. Between the river and the bay of Paradise, a large plain of thousands of square miles is formed.

The plain is an irregular triangle with sharp corners facing east, and the Earl Glamorgan is on the end of this sharp corner!

In the city of Modu, there is a tributary of the Naqumer River winding through it, called the Jero River.

The city was built along both sides of the river, and most of the urban areas and residents were located on the west bank of the Jero River, and from the east bank to the coast, almost all belonged to the territory of Count Glamorgan.

Although it is not the most densely populated area, this territory is still extremely important to Moji, because two of the three major ports are within the territory, as well as factories and manors built over the years, hundreds of which are equivalent to the new industrial zones on the earth in their previous lives!

The value of Glamorgan is incalculable.

"Damn!"

Ren didn't shout in his heart, what's going on?

Without waiting for Viola to respond, he asked continuously: "How come your Duke has an Earl's Corner in Mo? Does she have the right to seal it to me?"

"Yes." Viola nodded with a worried look on her face, "This is legal."

"What's going on?" Renn was even more puzzled.

The twelve holy soul wizards of the empire were officially named Dukes, and they could designate an area not larger than the province area as their own territory.

The personnel, legions, and taxes within the territory are all managed by the duke, just like a principality.

The Duke only needs to pay taxes to the Empire every year.

But not every Holy Soul Wizard likes to be a great lord, and some of them voluntarily gave up the title of duke and only demarcated a very small territory to build a wizard tower or a floating city.

There was even one who didn't even want the wizard tower and lived in seclusion in an unknown place.

For these holy soul wizards, they are generally called masters, not dukes.

This is the case with the Lord of the Floating City of Vizeland, Master Ancivodaus.

This holy soul wizard had no territory, only a floating city, so the Vizelan Floating City is located above Modu, but he is not the lord of Modu. In fact, his floating city was not established by himself, but gradually grew up from a wizard apprentice, promoted to the Holy Soul, and became the leader of the Floating City.

Even so, it shouldn't be the turn of Duke Silver Star to intervene in Modu and enthrone an earl.

Because it is obvious that Mo is the sphere of influence of Master Ancivodaus.

"Master Ancivodaus rarely interferes in Modu's affairs." Viola said: "Ren, Modu is different from our Longshande. Its history can be traced back to before the establishment of the empire. Emperor Alpha divided it into multiple territories and enfeoffed it to more than a dozen nobles."

"After so many years, Modu City is still in the hands of these old nobles."

"They were the richest aristocratic class in the empire and jointly invested in the establishment of the Vizelan Floating City. There were also very powerful extraordinary people in the family, which had a very complex relationship with the Floating City."

"The former Earl of Glamorgan and the Dukagan family were one of these nobles."

Renn heard the implicit sound, "Before?"

"Yes, it was about eighty years ago."

Viola thought for a moment and replied: "The battle between the nobles in Modu is also very fierce. At first, there were more than a dozen major nobles, all of whom had real sealed territory, and now there are only seven left."

"More than 80 years ago, a legendary wizard attached to the Dukagan family suddenly passed away, and the family was destroyed. Only Count Glamorgan himself escaped seriously injured."

"This Count fled to Longshande. For some reason, he swore allegiance to the Duke before his death."

"The Duke agreed immediately."

"According to the law of the empire, Count Glamorgan became a subordinate vassal of the Duke. Without descendants of direct blood, the Duke has the right to enthrone the new Earl."

When Rennes heard this, he couldn't help but feel a little suspicious.

The Duke of Silver Star has been collecting wealth for many years to build a floating city. It would be strange if he disagrees with such great interests as Glamorgan.

It is not too easy for a holy soul wizard to make others swear allegiance.
