After leaving the Royal Capital of Nok, the prosperity on the road has not diminished much. The closer we get to the Holy City, the more small towns there are around us.
Although the scale is not comparable to King Nokdu, there are many cities with a population of tens to hundreds of thousands.
It can be seen from this that this sacred continent is really prosperous.
"Jerry, and everyone, I have discussed this with Duke Miller a few days ago."
"Duke Miller said that based on your current situation and my intervention, President Theodore should be able to help you, and you should have two choices."
"The first is to see if there are other empires in the Holy Alliance that are willing to accept you, and you can join these principalities and start over!"
"The second is to select a piece of land for you to live in and you can develop on your own."
"However, there is one thing I need to tell you in advance to prevent you from being disappointed."
"That means this territory will most likely be located on the edge of the Black Rock Plain, which is the place closest to the border of the Orc King's Court."
"After all, other places are surrounded by principalities. It is impossible for them to enrich a piece of land."
"So, this means that the territory will be in danger by then."
"Of course, this second method is when no empire is willing to accept you, and I will try my best to see if there is an empire willing to accept you, so as to prevent you from going to dangerous territory."
"It's a pity that the territory of the Principality of Nok in the Black Rock Plain is the smallest, so it can no longer accommodate so many of you. Otherwise, there would be no need for so much trouble."
On the road that day, Nalant called a group of small nobles from the Glory Continent and told them about the possible subsequent arrangements for everyone.
"Thank you, Baron Nalant. No matter what, as long as we have a place to stay, we are very satisfied!"
When the nobles heard this, they naturally had no choice and immediately expressed their gratitude towards Nalant.
"Yeah!" Nalant nodded.
But at this moment, Jerry remembered what he had discussed with a group of nobles two days ago, and suddenly said to Narant: "Narant, have you ever thought about establishing a principality?"
"Establishing a principality?" Nalant was stunned. He had never thought about this question.
The other nobles were also waiting with their ears perked up for Nalant's answer.
"That's right! I heard from Butler Blow that with your current strength, Nalant, you already have the capital to establish a principality."
"He said that in this holy continent, there are probably not too many principalities that can defeat the 100,000 Bach coalition army."
"Furthermore, Narant, your current title is still a baron, which is no longer in line with your status."
Jerry continued to speak.
"I really haven't thought about this. After all, even if you are an ordinary lord, you are almost the same as a king in the territory."
"Besides, in my opinion, what title you hold is not important, but your own strength and the strength of your territory are the most important."
Narante shook his head.
How can the king have such a free time as a little lord like himself?
Once you become a king, there are countless government affairs.
And as the stall gets bigger, there will definitely be more things to worry about.
His initial ideal was to be a rich country man who could roam around his own land without any worries.
The development to this point is actually due to the environment.
In this way, the Storm Territory can finally be stable for a while.
If he tries to establish a principality again, there will probably be a lot of troubles coming, which is not what he wants at all.
"Narant, a noble who doesn't want to be a king is not a good noble!"
"We, the nobles of the Glory Continent, have now been scattered throughout the Black Rock Plain."
"Everyone wants to have a principality belonging to the Glory Continent, and you are the most likely to establish such a principality."
"Are you really not thinking about it anymore?"
When Jerry and others saw that Nalant rejected the idea of establishing a principality without hesitation, they all looked disappointed.
"Jerry, I really don't want to think about this right now. Besides, a catastrophe is coming in a few months. If you have this free time, you might as well prepare more strategies to deal with it!"
Narante shook his head again.
"All right!"
Seeing that Nalant spoke simply, Jerry and others did not say any more.
Immediately, the group fell into silence and continued on their way.
After walking for a while, a group of nobles went to the back of the team, and then they began to discuss in low voices.
"What should we do? Baron Nalant is not willing to establish a principality, so our idea of becoming Nalant's vassal will be in vain."
"Yes, if we join other empires after this time, I'm afraid we will still be exploited and despised by the rural nobles as before."
"What should we do? Baron Nalant just made it very clear that he does not want to establish a principality or be a king."
All the little nobles looked sad.
"Everyone, how about this, if Nalant doesn't want to be the king, then we can pester him to make him the king!"
After hearing everyone's comments, Jerry suddenly had an idea.
"Jerry, why are you pestering Baron Narante to become the king? What if Baron Narante becomes angry?"
"Yes, if we don't know how to advance or retreat, we might really annoy Baron Nalant."
"Everyone, if we press forward step by step and nag and persuade in Baron Nalant's ears every day, then Baron Nalant will definitely be angry."
"So we can't be hasty and we can't persuade Narant with words."
"Jerry, then what you said is the same as what you didn't say!"
"Don't worry, what I really want to say is still later." Jerry waved his hand to signal everyone to be calm.
After a pause, he continued after a moment: "Baron Nalant does not want to be the king, but we want to make him the king."
"And the name King is actually just a name."
"Since Nalant doesn't want this name for the time being, we can make the relationship between us and Nalant a substantial relationship between a vassal and a vassal."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "For example, didn't Nalant say that we can actually settle a territory on the edge of the Black Rock Plain? Then if we can really get a new territory this time, we might as well allocate it directly
It doesn't matter if it's a little more remote around Baron Narante."
"In this way, we will have regular contact with Baron Nalant from now on."
"Then we will pay taxes to Narant every year."
"Of course, the tax paid must not be said to Nalant that it is a tax, but it should be said that it is a protection fee."
"This is our reward for thanking Nalant for protecting the safety of our territory."
"This must be very reasonable. When the time comes, Baron Nalant won't be able to accept it even if he wants to!"
"Between vassals and lords, this tax is the most important item."
"In addition, everyone can be more respectful to Nalant when they see him in the future, as if he were his own lord."
"If Nalant does not accept such greetings at that time, then we will say that Nalant's team has great kindness, and it is natural for us to respect him more."
"In this way, we can essentially make Nalant our lord."
"And once the relationship between us and Baron Nalant has become substantial, is it still far away from us persuading Baron Nalant to establish a duchy?"
"Hey, Jerry's idea sounds good."
"Baron Nalant may not establish a principality, but it cannot stop us from being grateful to him."
"In this way, after waiting for a long time, Baron Nalant will surely be able to figure it out."
"And once Baron Nalant formally establishes the principality, we will naturally become Baron Nalant's vassals."
If Nalant were here, he would definitely be speechless after listening to the conversation of all the nobles.
Isn't this an alien version of the Chenqiao mutiny, forcing people to wear yellow robes?
Although these guys couldn't force Nalant to directly establish a principality, they already had the idea to solidify the relationship between the two parties into a vassal and a lord.
"Jerry, your method really works!"
The rest of the small nobles in the Glory Continent also agreed upon hearing this.
"Very good, let's make an agreement then. When we get to the Holy Continent, if we can really allocate territory, we will not choose to join those empires, but directly choose around Baron Nalant!"
At that moment, all the little nobles in the Glory Continent made a decision.
A few days passed in a flash, and everyone finally arrived at the Holy City after a long journey.
When he saw the city wall that was more than 100 meters high, even Narant couldn't help but be shocked by the majesty of the first city of the Holy Alliance.
Not only is the city wall high, but the walls of this sacred city are so high that you can't even see them on the left and right.
Because the Holy City is a city that can accommodate tens of millions of people.
Such a majestic city can only be found in a fantasy world like this.
Otherwise, just building such a huge city would have taken many years.
It was the first time for Nalant and others to come to the Holy City, but it didn't matter. They found a guide outside the city and headed straight into the city.
And this guide specializes in this business. After all, the Holy City is the heart of the Holy Alliance, and it is huge.
Any caravan or traveler coming to this sacred city for the first time can use such a guide.
The price of the guide is also very cheap. It only takes two silver coins to lead him to a certain location in the city.
And ten silver coins can be hired for a whole day.
…
"Sister Stella, are you thinking about Lord Nalant again?"
In the Goddess Manor in the Holy City, Stella sat on a stone bench in the garden in a long white dress.
A goddess walked over cautiously. Seeing that Stella was in a daze at the moment, she couldn't help but ask in a low voice.
"Huh? Gina, are you back?"
"Yes, Sister Stella, in fact, those soldiers don't need me to teach them. Although I am their captain, my talent only requires me to lead them in training for thirty days, and they will be able to master archery!" This goddess!
He nodded and answered.
"By the way, Sister Stella, I heard that the Bach Empire seems to be inviting Baron Nalant to come to the Holy City to discuss the exchange of prisoners. I don't know if Lord Nalant can come."
"If you can come, you can meet Sister Stella!"
"It's better not to come. This sacred city is at least a month's journey from the Storm Territory, and it takes two months to go back and forth. The long journey is too hard!"
"Besides, those captured now are soldiers from the Bach Empire. It should be the Bach Empire that sent a mission to the Storm Territory for discussion."
Stella shook her head when she heard this. Although she wanted to see Nalant very much, she also didn't want to see Nalant travel a long distance and work hard to come to this sacred city.
"Sister Stella, I think Master Nalant will definitely come, because our sister Stella is so beautiful, he must be reluctant to let you stay alone in this sacred city."
"So I will take this opportunity to visit our sister Stella!"
Goddess Gina smiled and spoke.
"You little girl, you are so brave now that you dare to laugh at me!" Stella scolded the goddess Gina.
However, after the goddess Gina awakened her natural power, she already had a special connection with Stella, the prophet goddess, and their relationship was not much different from that of sisters.
So he was not afraid of Stella, but continued to smile and said: "Sister Stella, I don't dare to laugh at you. I just hope that when Master Nalant comes, he can scare away those hateful guys outside the manor.
.”
"Those guys surround the manor every day, making it impossible for Sister Stella to go out even if she wants to!"
"Besides, these guys post disgusting posts every day, which makes me sick."
It turned out that since Stella moved into the Goddess Manor, many young nobles gathered outside the entrance of the manor.
Most of these young people have extraordinary status. They are either princes of dukes or heirs of great nobles in the empire.
Their purpose of surrounding the manor was simple, that is, they wanted to take advantage of Nalant.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Especially Stella herself has a stunning appearance, coupled with the blessing of the identity of the prophet goddess.
Not many young people can resist such temptation.
As for Stella, she has a fiancé.
For some dudes, this is nothing at all.
These guys are usually arrogant and domineering, even though Narant now has a reputation.
But they are far away in the Storm Territory, and Stella is under house arrest in this sacred city in disguise, so they must not be afraid.
On the contrary, I felt that since Nalant and Stella had been separated for a long time, they had opportunities.
Now, because of Nalant's relationship and the care of President Theodore, Stella can occasionally go out of the manor and take a walk.
As long as you don't leave the sacred city, there will be no other restrictions.
It's a pity that this was originally a good thing for Stella, but because of those annoying young masters, Stella would rather stay in the manor than go out.
Because those guys are not only thick-skinned, but they are as hard to shake off as dog-skin plaster.
Wherever Stella goes, they will follow diligently.
In addition, even if Stella doesn't go out, these young masters will still make trouble, that is, they will keep writing love poems and send them in through the escort.
Stella could have banned the behavior of these guards.
But Stella has a good temper and knows that the guard will not get any benefits, so she doesn't take it seriously.
Just ask the guards to hand over these posts to Gina and others, and then Gina and others will destroy them.
"Then don't go out. Anyway, I think it's good to stay in this manor!" Stella didn't care too much.
Without Nalant around, she didn't have much interest in visiting this sacred city.
…
"This noble lord, this is the Goddess Manor!"
At the same time, outside the Goddess Manor, Nalant and his party, led by the guide, finally arrived outside the Goddess Manor in the center of the sacred city after more than two hours of journey.
"Yes!" Nalant also saw a statue of a goddess erected in the manor in front, and nodded immediately.
When Lilia saw this, she immediately took out two silver coins and handed them to the guide.
"Thank you, sir, Kang Dai. Sir, the young one has resigned!"
After receiving the reward, the guide left happily.
"Why are there so many people at the gate of this manor?"
After the guide left, Narante headed towards the gate of the manor.
However, after taking a few steps closer, I found that there were many noble princes surrounding the manor.
