"Baron Ryan, Imperial House will not deprive any noble of Noble Title."
"Their Noble Title was born from their ancestors and made great contributions to the empire. Even if the descendants do something wrong, they cannot erase the contributions of their ancestors."
"The eldest son of Count Weiss can still live a good life in West Coast as Wandering Nobles."
Ryan nodded in confusion and said:
"So that's it."
"In this case, you can't take away the land of those nobles, because that is the land that Count Weiss used to mortgage to the nobles after the defeat of the war."
"Since Noble Title of Count Weiss is still there, then all the transactions he made must be effective."
"Yeah, yeah."
Other nobles also echoed that if this matter could be resolved, these nobles would be able to feel at ease today.
Marquis of Northwind laughed and patted Ryan on the shoulder.
"Ryan, you are not a noble of South, so you are not very clear about the rights, responsibilities, and rules between nobles. This is normal. After all, in Northwind Province, many nobles were not members of the empire."
"There is a law in the empire, a law recognized by Deities, that is, the territory of all nobles is given by the great ancestor Columbus."
"When a noble in the empire betrays the empire, Imperial House has the right to take back all the land given."
"The war between Count Weiss and you is undoubtedly a betrayal of the empire. He took refuge in the Church of Blasphemy of Deities. Therefore, Imperial House has the right to take back all the land of Count Weiss."
Ryan's expression did not change. This is the so-called final interpretation power that belongs to the empire and belongs to Imperial House.
Of course, the premise is that the matter of Count Weiss is indeed a betrayal of the empire and all the nobles of the empire.
But at this moment, the faces of other nobles turned pale. They also knew this, but they didn't know that Marquis of Northwind would use this to veto the wealth they gained from victory in the war.
Land is the lifeblood of the nobles, so they are a little anxious.
But at this time, Ryan spoke again.
"Only land?"
"Yes, a noble's most important wealth is the territory given to him by the empire. As long as he does not betray the empire, then the territory is sacred and inviolable."
"Actually, if it weren't for the fact that a war broke out between the empire and the Church in South during this period, Imperial House would not have used such cruel laws to take away everything from Count Weiss. Nobles had betrayed the empire before, but at that time Imperial House still retained their family's land. Many years later, some of the descendants of those nobles regained the territory."
"What Count Weiss did this time was too serious."
Marquis of Northwind said warningly. He warned all the nobles in front of him not to play tricks on this matter.
And he Marquis of Northwind must also give a warning to the nobles of the entire province when he comes to Northwind Province and use these lands.
He wants all the nobles to understand the price of colluding with the Church, as well as his own Marquis of Northwind status.
"If that's the case, there's nothing we can do."
"But fortunately, the things Count Weiss previously compensated me, Count Winter, and Count Soron are not part of these lands."
Ryan said somewhat relaxedly, and Marquis of Northwind also laughed.
"Yes, Ryan, there are some things you can just take, your father and I..."
Then he saw, in front of everyone, Ryan passed the nobles, walked to the other side, and picked up a huge beast's fang.
Marquis of Northwind felt divinity in it.
The moment the fangs were removed, the Other Plane portal on Thundercloud Mountain also disappeared.
"That Otherworldly Plane, and this divine key, are the spoils of war Count Weiss paid to me and the two earls after the defeat of the war. Since Count Weiss's Noble Title does not Other Plane is deprived of the land that does not belong to the empire, so Lord Marquis, please give us convenience when we come to Thundercloud Mountain and enter Otherworldly Plane in the future."
"After all, this is already your territory, and it's not easy for us nobles to stay here."
Bang bang bang!
Koresna hit the solid wood table hard, and several punch marks were dented in the thick table in an instant.
"Ryan! Damn little guy, you're plotting against me."
"Just like his father, sinister and cunning!"
This Marquis was alone in the castle on Thundercloud Mountain, furious.
Does he care about the land? He cares. Every noble cares about every inch of his territory. This is their foundation. In fact, he still has something to say before, that is, even if he betrays the empire, Imperial House must have the strength to take back that land before it can be considered taken back.
Otherwise, everything must follow the principle of the sanctity of the nobility's territory.
Then does he care about that Otherworldly Plane? More importantly, the biggest reason why his fiefdom is within a hundred miles of Thundercloud Mountain is because the empire now knows that the portal of Otherworldly Plane is on Thundercloud Mountain.
By occupying this place, didn't he become the master of Otherworldly Plane?
But now, Ryan has taken the key and set him up again and again, making him reveal in his words that Otherworldly Plane and that Divine Tusk Key are only the spoils paid to them after Count Weiss failed.
It is not within the range that Imperial House can recycle!
"This is called retreat to advance."
On the other side, Ryan and other nobles did not actually leave, but stopped at a Baron collar.
Looking at the huge fangs, the nobles couldn't help but admire Ryan's previous wisdom.
"This Marquis of Northwind doesn't look that scary."
"But why are we staying here?"
A noble asked, looking at Ryan. Ryan asked them not to leave for the time being. They were waiting here for the arrival of other nobles, especially the two earls. They seemed to think that those nobles would definitely come here.
"This is related to the interests of every noble Northwind Province. If they are unwilling to come, it will prove that they have given up their land here, and then we will not have to help them safeguard their interests."
"Just give it to Marquis of Northwind as a gift."
"Can we still get our land back?"
Some nobles opened their eyes wide and became excited. He thought that he had no hope in this territory with a radius of hundreds of miles and would be occupied by Marquis of Northwind.
Fortunately, this was snatched from him and was not his real territory, so he was not too angry.
In fact, the time to obtain the land was too short.
Ryan pointed at the huge fangs not far away.
"Do you think we can prevent Marquis from developing Otherworld Plane with us?"
"This..."
The nobles shook their heads after thinking about it.
This matter is difficult. That Marquis came to Northwind Province so early, probably just for Otherworld Plane.
"Now this Otherworld Plane belongs to us. Since we can't eat alone, let's take a step back and give Marquis a chance. As a reward, shouldn't Master Marquis give us something in return?"
"Just use the land that originally belonged to us to repay us. What do you think?"
"Okay!"
A viscount clapped his legs and laughed, Ryan shook his head secretly.
Are these nobles still happy to use the land that belongs to them in exchange for the qualification to enter Otherworld Plane?
