In the early days of the empire, aristocrats were the most important ruling force, and aristocrats at all levels formed a solid upper class.

However, in the middle of the empire, the royal family disappeared and the supreme power was replaced by the "Supreme Parliament of Kemitis". Except for the Holy Soul Wizards who proclaim themselves dukes, other traditional nobles gradually lost their influence over the long years.

Especially more than 400 years ago, after the emergence of the mechanical union, productivity developed rapidly, completely breaking the feudal system established by traditional aristocracy through monopoly of land. Many aristocratic forces disappeared in the long river of history.

Of course, because of the existence of extraordinary power, traditional aristocrats still exist and hold the dominance of some regions, but the number is small, and they are usually called old aristocrats.

The new aristocrats correspond to the old aristocrats.

The new nobles no longer rely on land and taxation, but instead created factories and operated companies through trade and business, gathered a large amount of wealth in the form of capital, thus gaining power and being awarded titles.

The titles of these new nobles are generally false titles, which are symbols of status, mainly barons and viscounts, as well as lower knight medals and jazz medals.

Moreover, the title of false title is only a lifelong noble and cannot be hereditary.

The above Counts are real titles, and most of them have fiefs, either old nobles or members of the duke's family.

The Count Dongting is a rare real title. The population of citizens in Dongting City alone is more than 300,000, and the population of the entire territory exceeds one million.

There is also a huge lake in the territory, located on a major waterway transportation route. It has high value and great benefits, so that the entire empire cannot find a few better Counts.

In addition, Count Winter Ting also owns a seat in the Imperial Parliament.

If you can become Count of Dongting, you will automatically become a member of the Imperial Parliament, enter the center of power of the empire, and reach the peak of your life.

Under such a huge temptation of interests, who is not moved?

Even Ren himself, if he has the opportunity to be named Count Dongting, he will do his best to clear all obstacles in the road.

He looked at Viola, and it was obvious that she was determined to win the title of Earl.

But it is not easy to achieve the goal.

Whoever can be canonized is in the hands of Duke of Silver Star.

The Duke of Silver Star depends entirely on interests. Whoever can show the best management ability and bring more wealth will favor the Duke.

In a year, it is very difficult to stand out among more than a dozen competitors. None of the members who can manage family assets for the Duke are mediocre.

And it is mid-August now, only more than four months from the end of the year.

Unless you can find another way and create a new way to make money, and gain the recognition of the Duke.

Renn remembered the previous idea again and thought, it was not difficult to say this, it depends on what Viola thought about him. After figuring it out, she might be able to help her.

If Viola becomes the Count and owns a large fiefdom, he might also benefit from it.

Of course, it is certainly impossible to say now.

Rain did not mention what Earl Dongting received, but asked: "After Phyllis returned, if she found that the demon soul of the mountain giant was fake, she didn't know that this was Gallovenna's scam, what should she do when she came back to ask you for compensation?"

Phyllis was cheated of more than 20,000 yuan. This person is a scoundrel. He will definitely not swallow this breath, let alone reason with Viola.

Viola can't just say that this was Gallowayna's trick. Without evidence, the other party would not believe it.

The best way is to catch Helini.

But after so long the transaction has been, Helini must have escaped from Longshande.

"She said in person that it has nothing to do with Violet House. If you want to play a rogue, you don't have to worry about her." Viola didn't care at all and said confidently: "This is Longshande, not Pallas. I have the truth. As long as you say to the Duke, she will be honest."

Renn nodded and said, "You can just have a way to deal with it."

Seeing that it was getting late, he offered to say goodbye.

"Then you go back and rest, thank you today." Viola stood up and sent her out, standing at the door of the room. When Renn was about to enter the elevator, she suddenly said: "Your key organ is not proficient enough. Come here every afternoon to practice the piano."

Renn turned to look at her and found that her eyes were dodging, and this proposal was almost explicit.

He smiled and nodded, "Okay, see you tomorrow afternoon."

After saying that, he waved his hand and left casually.

After leaving Violet House, I called a carriage and got on it.

Renne noticed keenly that before getting on the bus, several pairs of eyes were staring at him in the dark corner of the street, and then quietly followed him.

"I don't know if these people were sent by the so-called 'love rivals' or Gallovenna's subordinates."

Renne was quite helpless.

He knew very well that from today on his name, his upper class, should have gained some popularity in Longshande, and he was firmly tied to Viola, and his life in the future might not be calm.

After the carriage crossed the bridge, Rennes chose a place to get off the car, and used the sound of everything to easily get rid of all the followers.

I went back to the apartment and slept overnight, woke up early in the morning, and had three hours of meditation.

Then he went out to the Basil Hotel, and in Zoltan's yard, he borrowed the dwarf equipment to train his strength, and brought the iron warhammer over and took it in his hand and waved it.

There are also techniques for using warhammers. Although they are not as complicated as swordsmanship, they also require years of practice.

These techniques are not that mysterious, and there is no hammering method. In summary, they are just two points: one is smashing and the other is blocking.

It sounds very simple to hit something with a hammer, but there are actually many tricks in it.

Smash with one hand, with both hands, horizontally, vertically, forward, backward, swing half a circle, swing one circle, use some force and retain some force, all of them must be familiar with. When fighting, you must master the balance of the center of gravity of the war hammer, cooperate with your steps, and exert the greatest strength. After smashing, you must be able to recover it in time, rather than a one-time transaction.

These tricks must be practiced repeatedly, combined in battle, and used smoothly, without causing the offensive to stop due to excessive force and being taken advantage of by the enemy.

In addition, it is blocking. The warhammer is larger than ordinary weapons and can often be used as a shield.

It is not just the hammer head, hammer handle, and hammer tail. It uses every part of the warhammer to attack the target while blocking it.

Sometimes, if the hammer tail is pushed with one stroke, the killing effect is better than stabbing in with a sword.

With the assistance of the mobile phone gyroscope and the metal touch elements, Renne quickly became familiar with the warhammer in his hand, as if he was integrated with himself, becoming an extension of his body, like an arm using his fingers.

The one hundred and twenty-pound war hammer whirred in his hands, shaving violent airflow in the yard.

After practicing for more than an hour, Renn stopped his movements and his whole body was soaked with sweat.

He weighed the war hammer and the heavy weapon was getting easier to use, and the weight was just right.

Holding a hammer in your hand, everyone looks like a nail.

Unfortunately, I practiced for so long and I was waving all the time. The yard was empty. There was nothing to smash except for a dozen large iron blocks, which made him feel a little itchy.

Renn shook his head and resisted the impulse.

"I don't have the attacking physique element yet, otherwise the power of the warhammer would be even stronger."

Among the physical elements, there are many that can improve attack power. Extraordinary people generally call these elements skills.

For example, the most common "hard strike" is that many melee extraordinary people will burst out with greater power when attacking; the "anger strike" of the Berserker also has a similar effect, and the power is increased higher.

There are also "power-calcined slash", "shutter slash", "three-combo strike", etc. Many are used for various weapons, and some do not need to be used for warhammers.

Renn now has no skill, and can only rely on purely his own strength and skills to attack.

He suddenly grabbed the upper end of the hammer handle and swung his palm hard.

The warhammer rotates in the palm of his palm like a windmill. Not only does it not land, but it is faster and faster, forming a afterimage, making a sound of breaking through the air.

"Can you turn the warhammer too?"

Zoltan happened to come in from the yard door, and when he saw this scene, his eyes were rounded.

Renn beat up his hand, and the afterimage disappeared immediately, and turned into a warhammer in his hand. He smiled and said, "I'll try it, it just happened to be successful."

"You guys don't like to tell the truth."

Zoltan shook his head, and his red cockscomb hairstyle was shaking around, his eyes full of surprise.

He prefers soul guns and is not good at using warhammers. However, as a dwarf, his understanding of warhammers is much higher than that of ordinary people. He has seen many masters in the clan who use warhammers, but none of them can play warhammers as smoothly as Rennes.

A heavy warhammer, one end lighter and the other end heavy, how powerful and skillful is it to make it turn?

Those rangers with "dexterous hands" can't do it!

Rennes put away the warhammer, took out a piece of paper from his coat hanging on the wall, and said, "Zoltan, I want to buy a batch of alchemy materials and many mechanical parts. Can you help me get it? I have already made a list and the price is up to you."

This was written by him before going to bed last night and he planned to use it to make something.

Zoltan took the list and looked like.

"Phone-inspired powder, alcohol, graphite, rubber, copper tube, dense wax, distilled water, sulfuric acid solution, horn, iron sheet, needle, iron rack..." He quickly browsed and found that Rennes wanted a lot of things this time, and there were dozens of them in total, and it was impossible to tell what they were used for.

But he didn't ask, the more money Rennes wanted, the more money he earned.

"I have most of these materials, but the quantity is not enough. Give me a few days to prepare and tell you when I get it." Zoltan made a rough estimate and said, "The value of all materials is about five gold shields. You have to pay me three gold in advance."

Renn took out three golden shields and handed them over.
