Chapter 227: Selecting a Territory

Yu Fei was relieved after solving the problem of the earl title. He didn't expect that this problem could be solved so easily. It was a bit beyond Yu Fei's expectations. On Earth, titles are a very distant concept for ordinary people, especially ordinary people in China. Yu Fei never thought that he would be related to viscounts and earls.

Unexpectedly, he became an earl in this alien world, which made Yu Fei sigh in his heart. Although he didn't have the familiar people and things on Earth when he came to the alien world, the powerful power he had could make him obtain a position that was difficult to obtain before.

With the identity of the earl of the Holy Lion Empire, it would be much easier for him to do things next. However, looking at the huge map that Grand Duke Childe placed in front of him, Yu Fei had a headache. Although Yu Fei had already stated that he didn't want the territory, Grand Duke Childe insisted that Yu Fei choose an earldom as his fiefdom.

Grand Duke Childe did this naturally because he was hinted by his father and wanted to get along with Yu Fei, who was mysterious at every turn. After all, the status of an empty earl and a real earl is too different. A baron with corresponding fiefdoms is actually higher than an empty earl. The greatest desire of the court nobles of the royal family is to obtain a piece of territory and become a real noble.

So on the issue of fiefdom, Grand Duke Childe is very active. In his opinion, nobles who don't want fiefdoms are not good nobles, and Yu Fei's performance is just reserved. So although Yu Fei said that he didn't want the territory when he accepted the status of earl, Grand Duke Childe still brought a few servants and spread out a huge map in Yu Fei's room.

This map not only shows the territory of the Holy Lion Empire, but also depicts the territory of the entire human world, and even includes some territories of foreign races. The territory of the Holy Lion Empire occupies about one-seventh of the map, located in the center.

Looking at this map, Yu Fei couldn't help but curl his lips. Just like on Earth, every country likes to put its own country in the center when drawing a map~~ In fact, the center of Eslaze should be the middle of the Warcraft Mountains, and the location of his body is not far from the center of Eslaze continent.

Shaking his head and retracting his thoughts, Yu Fei concentrated on the map in front of him. Although Yu Fei didn't want a territory because he was afraid of trouble, after understanding the status difference between empty-titled nobles and real-titled nobles, Yu Fei decided that it would be better to have a territory. Otherwise, his goal would not be achieved. Although a noble without status also has some privileges, no one is willing to pay attention to him.

Looking carefully at the map provided by Grand Duke Childe, Yu Fei thought about it in his heart. On this map, the territory of the Holy Lion Empire is marked with some places in green, and these are the territories that can be granted to Yu Fei. Of course, these are the results of Grand Duke Childe's selection. Those territories that are too small or too barren have been eliminated.

After observing for a long time, Yu Fei's eyes locked on three territories. Among the three territories, the first one is the most prosperous. It is located near the capital of the Holy Lion Empire and is at the feet of the emperor. Travelers and caravans coming and going to the capital often stop in this small town the night before going to the capital, so this territory is the most profitable place that the Saint Child family can provide.

However, after careful consideration, Yu Fei is ready to give up this option. Although Yu Fei needs money to buy magic crystals to convert into energy so that the night elves can develop faster, he is very confident in the profits of the night elves' enchanted equipment. The income from this territory will probably only be a small part of it.

Considering the geographical location, Yu Fei ruled out this territory in his mind. Although this small town is prosperous and the area of ​​the territory is in line with the status of an earl, it is too close to the capital of the Holy Lion Empire. The control of the imperial family must be stronger, and it is not easy for him to resell equipment. If the royal family of the Holy Lion Empire finds it and then traces it to the night elves, he will have to face a powerful enemy in advance, which will disrupt his plan.

After careful consideration, Yu Fei also ruled out the second relatively good territory. This territory is located on the border of the Holy Lion Empire, and it is where several countries meet the Holy Lion Empire. It is more convenient to resell enchanted equipment. However, this territory is located on the eastern border of the Holy Lion Empire, which is too far away from the Warcraft Mountains, so it can only be abandoned.

The last territory that Yu Fei likes is on the seaside. The main city of this territory is a seaport, located in the north of the Holy Lion Empire. It is one of the only non-freezing ports in the north of the Holy Lion Empire. What Yu Fei values ​​is the sea transportation capacity of the seaport.

Unlike on land, sea transportation not only has a higher volume, but also has stronger concealment. Countries can set up checkpoints on land, but they can't set up checkpoints on the sea, right? At most, they can only check at the seaport. Yu Fei doesn't care about the volume of transportation. He plans to get some more space rings to transport goods-magic crystals and the like don't take up much space; he cares about concealment.

Transporting by sea can eliminate the worry of being discovered by human forces, and it is also more convenient in terms of distance and speed - you know, the northern ice field newly occupied by the night elves is further north to the Arctic Ocean. Although the Arctic Ocean will almost completely freeze in winter and it is difficult to sail, it is still navigable for a long time in a year.

It's just that the sea itself is more dangerous, and the extreme Arctic ice sea with extreme climate is even more dangerous than the ordinary sea. In addition, there is no oil and water in the northern ice field, so there have been no caravans by sea before. Northern ice sheet. If it weren't for this, the Amazon family wouldn't have to worry about food problems for more than 20 years.

But this is exactly what Yu Fei meant. If there are no caravans taking this route, the night elves' transportation team will have a much smaller chance of being discovered, and the danger will be even smaller. After enough magic crystals are transported to the night elves through this route, the power of the night elves will expand rapidly, and then it will be time to sweep across the continent and seek the Eternal Heart.

Speaking of the Eternal Heart, one of the components of this thing, the Heart of Light, is said to be on the crown of the Emperor of the Holy Lion Empire. Now that I have the identity of an earl of the Holy Lion Empire, I can also be regarded as a minister of the emperor. Isn't it a bit unethical to seek the jewel in your boss's crown?

After touching his chin and thinking for a while, Yu Fei smiled calmly. He is a time traveler, and he has no awe of grand dukes, emperors and the like - when facing Grand Duke Childe, it was this kind of indifference and calmness that made Childe The Grand Duke of Germany did not underestimate this young man.

Besides, Yu Fei didn't think that his status as the father of the night elves would be lower than that of the emperor of the Holy Lion Empire. Even this clone's identity as the Elf King of the Night Elves can be said to be equal to or even slightly higher than that of the Emperor of the Empire, so Yu Fei will not have any respect for his clone's so-called boss in the human world. heart.

Therefore, while thinking about the issue of the Eternal Heart, Yu Fei has decided to inquire about the Heart of Light. If it is true that the Heart of Light is the jewel in the crown of the Emperor of the Holy Lion Empire, Yu Fei will have no choice but to become a pearl thief~~ I want to play with the symbol of the leader of one of the largest forces in the human world in my hands. It will feel very good.

Uh, seems to have gone off topic again. Yu Fei recovered from his trance and continued to look at the map in front of him. Suddenly, Yu Fei's eyes focused on a location on the map. After closing his eyes and thinking for a moment, Yu Fei put away the map and said to Grand Duke Childe, who was sitting on a chair drinking tea and waiting for Yu Fei to choose a good territory: "I'm sorry to bother Grand Duke, I'm going to choose area No. 7 as the territory." own territory.”

Grand Duke Childe was stunned for a moment when he heard this. He took the map handed over by Yu Fei, unfolded it, looked at it, and frowned. "Region No. 7, um, the port in the northern part of the empire. This location is not the best. Why did you choose this place?"

Yu Fei smiled slightly when he heard this - of course the Grand Duke opposite could not see him. "Your Majesty Duke, I naturally have my own reasons for choosing this place. Since you said you would allow me to freely choose the territories I can choose on the map, it shouldn't be a problem to give this seaport to me, a little earl, right? "

Upon hearing Yu Fei's answer, Grand Duke Childe's brows furrowed even more tightly, but they soon relaxed. He thought about it in his mind. Naturally, this young mage had his own ideas when he chose this port as his territory. It might also be related to the experts or forces behind him. If he asked this young mage to choose a better territory again, , and maybe he is just a bad person.

After thinking about this, Grand Duke Childe stopped worrying about the location of Yu Fei's chosen territory. After handing the map to the servant who was standing respectfully behind him, Grand Duke Childe greeted Yu Fei with a few words and then left Yu Fei's room.

After Grand Duke Childe left, Yu Fei recalled the territory he had just chosen. Although the sea route was conducive to night elves' smuggling, Yu Fei was partial to that seaport, but it was not this that made him make up his mind in the end.

Just now, after thinking briefly, Yu Fei looked at the map again, only to find that this port had a unique advantage. The advantage is that this port is very close to a port in the Candela Commercial Kingdom Alliance.
