Chapter 1991 Touched

In the huge Yanlong Kingdom, there are thousands of nobles with the title of Viscount.

And most of them are due to the fiefdom, so there is little money to be made.

So there is no need to make friends at all.

They are completely unlike people from the earl family. If they are good at fawning, they might even get the title of knight.

It was also at that time that Angel saw clearly the warmth and coldness of human relationships.

This is both lucky and unfortunate for a little girl.

"But I was very lucky. I was able to summon you during the familiar summoning ceremony and signed a familiar contract with you."

"So I'm very grateful to you for not hating me."

"Really...thank you very much!"

As he spoke, Angel stepped forward without hesitation and hugged Qi Le tightly.

During these days of getting along with each other, Angel had no idea that Qi Le was his familiar.

Instead, I feel like Qi Le is like a big brother who cares about him.

If something goes wrong, he will always find a way to solve it for himself.

You know, the familiars of other summoners, even if they are not Ruojiruoli, will never be so enthusiastic.

Especially those familiars with unparalleled strength and advanced levels of power will never pay attention to weak contract owners.

Unless the owner of the contract has the power to talk to them on an equal footing.

Just like the flame dragon summoned by Nora, if Qi Le hadn't suppressed the flame dragon.

Maybe Nora has already been expelled from Flame Academy and returned home at this time.

Therefore, Qi Le's actions made Angel feel real concern, and he was also moved from the bottom of his heart.

However, Qi Le, who was hugged tightly by Angel, looked confused.

"What did I do?"

"I'm just selling a summoning scroll. Do you need to thank me so much?"

However, Qi Le is not a straight man, so he will not ask this question in a disrespectful manner.

Since Angel wants to be hugged, let her hug her.

Anyway, I have nothing to lose.

"No, I'm sorry, I got a little emotional."

After waiting for a while, Angel seemed to have reacted. He quickly let go of his hand and took a few steps back.

His face was even red with embarrassment.

"It doesn't matter, as long as you are happy."

Qi Le said matter-of-factly.

After learning about the summoning scroll, Angel also took a few theoretical classes after the practical class.

Decisive to skip school and give myself a few days off.

Because it is too troublesome to ask for leave, and the Flame Academy does not strictly control matters such as skipping theoretical classes.

So I might as well just run away and just say I'm in the library.

And Angel knew how to take Forsythia for a few lessons, naturally in order to return to the family fiefdom.

The distance is not too far, just on the outskirts of a city-state adjacent to Raging Flame City...

In fact, most of the locations where noble fiefdoms were located were not very good.

After all, the Yanlong Kingdom had already allocated funds to build city-states in those places with good locations, so how could it be possible for these nobles to take their turn to come to the rescue.

Unless you are a duke or a prince, you can directly reward several city-states.

However, in this case, it is simply to enjoy the blessings in the past, and there is no need to pay for gold coins at all.

"This place is indeed a bit remote."

Qi Le sat on the carriage, looking at the city wall that was getting farther and farther away, gradually disappearing from his sight, and couldn't help but say something.

Although it is said to be a suburb, this is a bit too suburban.

If the carriage hadn't been traveling on a dirt road, Qi Le would have thought it was heading into the deep mountains and forests.

"It's because the location of the fiefdom is too remote that the family's funds will have problems."

Angel said with emotion.

Common people all think that nobles are superior and live a comfortable life, but who would have thought that most of them are just superficial.

Of course, if those nobles who did not care about the lives of the residents in their fiefdoms and made money wantonly, their lives would be better.

But those kind of favorable conditions were obtained in exchange for life.

Angel asked himself, he would never be able to do that kind of thing.

Not to mention the high level of loving the people as one's own son, at least one cannot levy excessive taxes and waste people's lives.

However, these situations are very common among nobles who own fiefs.

Otherwise, it would be difficult to build a fiefdom.

It is because there are very few nobles who are willing to invest all their wealth into this bottomless pit and devote themselves wholeheartedly to construction.

Most of them are just enjoying their power while amassing money.

Want these iron roosters to pluck their feathers?

That's a real joke.

"If you want to develop, the roads must be built first. Not only should they extend in all directions, they must at least be connected to a city-state."

Qi Le looked at the dirt road under the carriage wheels and said something coldly.

Although we still don’t know what is going on in the fiefdom owned by Angel’s family.

But if it is located in a remote area and there are no roads built, then everything is at a standstill.

Those who want to come can't find the place, and those who want to leave can't get out.

Even if there are any specialties, they can only rot in the fief.

Over and over again, if the economy fails to develop, let alone building fiefdoms, if you can avoid being dragged down by this bottomless pit, you can be considered capable.

"Building roads? We would like to build roads, but we can't afford so many gold coins."

"You should have seen along the way how far it is from the nearest city-state. It would cost at least hundreds of thousands of gold coins to pave this road."

Angel said with some embarrassment.

One gold coin is enough for an ordinary family to live a disease-free and disaster-free life for the first half of a year.

With hundreds of thousands of gold coins, even if Angel's family wealth was wiped out, they probably wouldn't be able to get this much.

After all, a noble family has so many people to support, so they can't save on daily expenses such as food and clothing.

Then in addition to the necessary expenses required to maintain the fiefdom, as well as the annual taxes that need to be paid to the treasury.

How many can be left?

"Yeah, I almost forgot about that."

Qi Le rubbed his temples.

If Angel's family was really that rich, then this fiefdom wouldn't be so unknown.

Let alone the current situation, where even the capital chain is about to be disconnected.

"Gulu gulu..."

The carriage continued to move forward, passing through a deserted forest, and then passed half of a plain without a soul in sight.

A low city wall appeared in Qi Le's sight.

Although it is nominally a city wall, Qi Le feels that this low mixture of earth and stone is more like a fence, only as high as one person.

Not to mention defending against enemies, I'm afraid even a child with a strong skin and a little restlessness can climb over it.
