In the next few days, Velin followed his cousin and saw a different Gute Territory place.

On the other hand, I have seen the achievements of my cousin's management for more than ten years and nearly ten years.

Gute Territory covers an area of 3,000 square miles. For Baron, such a territory is very vast, but for a Viscount, it seems a bit small.

However, all these problems can be solved in the kingdom's laws.

There is no reclaimable territory around Gute Territory, so the only option is territory replacement.

Olcott can reclaim a piece of Baron Territory land at the border, compensate the small nobles in other ways, and replace their territory with the border, thus achieving a disguised means of territorial expansion.

As for whether the other party is satisfied or not, it all depends on whether the noble who wants to change the territory has a strong fist and a deep enough background.

After spending the past few days together, I found out from my cousin that Uncle Olcott wants to exchange territory with the seven Baron that border Gute Territory.

The total area of these seven Baron Territory reaches one thousand square miles, and it will take ten to twenty years to complete.

For Velin, there is no such trouble.

There is a large area of uninhabited land around it, and in the past ten years no Pioneer has been exploring the western border. He can't just enclose the land however he wants.

However, this also reminded him that within this precious time frame, he could enclose development as much as possible and have family endorsement. As long as he did not acquire a territory of 100,000 square miles, but acquired an area of 23,000 square miles, there would still be no problem.

Afterwards, Peerage was promoted, and no one dared to raise objections.

After the short sightseeing trip, when I returned to the Manor, it was the upcoming date of Banquet.

Compared with three days ago, there are gradually more nobles here, and many of the nobles' entourage have been placed outside the camp.

Entering the outer circle of the Manor, there is Grassland surrounding Manor, covering an area of more than one hundred acres, with a large number of young aristocratic children sitting on the ground and communicating with each other.

Many servants shuttled among them, serving tea and snacks and providing dedicated service.

Passing through Grassland and entering Central Region, the nobles here are much more serious about the outer circle. They may take their wives to talk with their friends, or they may take their eldest son to visit a noble with a prestigious status, or ladies gather together to communicate in a low voice.

In the left corner, Velin found his cousin Brian and Edgar's eldest son Alick, surrounded by a group of nobles, judging each other.

"Velin, follow me."

A servant, Kewell, whispered in his ear, and then took Verin's hand and entered the core of the manor.

When Velin saw this, he could only give up the idea of finding his cousin.

Passing through the gate guarded by knights, Velin enters the core area of the Manor.

In a spacious house, Olcott and Edgar should have been the hosts, but at this moment they were sitting in the lower seat. They did not feel the slightest dissatisfaction with the person sitting in the upper seat, and were even quite honored.

There was a middle-aged man sitting on the seat, and next to him was a young woman. From time to time, he felt the whole Manor, and watched the person he liked slowly approaching, and couldn't help but smile.

Velin entered the house and looked at the middle-aged man and young woman facing him, his expression instantly solidified.

"Little Velin, long time no see."

The next moment, a veiled woman appeared in front of Velin, stroking his messy hair with her hands.

"Uh, Grandmother, why are you and grandpa here?" Velin asked in surprise as he looked at the young and beautiful woman in front of him.

"I'm here to see you, believe it or not."

Squeezing his grandson's face, Clotilde was in a very good mood.

Later, Velin followed Grandmother to the side of his grandfather Ignatius.

"My Velin, we haven't seen each other for a year. We are deeply sorry that we did not participate in your day of the year." Ignatius said kindly.

"Grandpa, why did you come here?" Velin graciously accepted his grandfather's apology and then asked.

"Olcott and Edgar promotion to Viscount, your father is at your grandpa's place and can't come back for the time being. We happened to return to the Isia Kingdom recently, so I will take your father's place in this Banquet." Ignatius explained calmly.

"Are you happy? My dear Velin."

My Grandmother Clotilde smile was still so healing, Velin didn't know how to reply for a while.

"Okay, Clotilde, you take Velin outside. I have some things to do with Olcott and Edgar." Ignatius waved his hand and said to Clotilde with a smile.

"I understand."

As soon as Clotilde finished speaking, he disappeared into the room with Velin.

After watching his wife and grandson leave, Ignatius continued, "According to the rules set by the family, if you are Viscount, then some things about the family will be disclosed to you."

"Starting from your generation, the direct members of your group can choose to study under various Counts. In the future, whether they choose to develop or join Kingdom Armys, the corresponding resources will be provided by the family."

"At the same time, as Viscount, you will also fulfill your obligations, discover and contribute talents to the family, and maintain the talent supply of the force army under the command of the family Count."

"Finally, you two can choose a renewable resource from your family to serve as your pillar industry. Based on this, you can join the upper-level trading market in advance to feed back your small family."

"My son Angus will connect with you in the future. This will take time."

"Sir Ignatius, we know this." Olcott and Edgar replied respectfully, but their eyes could not conceal their excitement and ambition.

"Next, I'll tell you about the situation in the kingdom's upper market, and give you some useful information for reference. There are also some foreign business channels, including those families in the surrounding kingdoms who maintain close relationships with us."

As the mainstay of the Ex Family, Viscount is qualified to know some of the family's secrets.

As for Cowell, after sending Velin to the room, he left on his own.

In an empty garden, the figures of Velin and Clotilde appeared among the flowers.

"Little Velin, how have you been these past few years? Have you missed me?"

Clotilde's tone was like teasing a child, which made Velin pat his forehead speechlessly and said helplessly, "Grandmother, I have grown up."

"Okay, you were more cute when you were a child, but you are no longer fun when you grow up." Clotilde covered his face with his hands and said pretending to be sad.
