Chapter 731: Appoint the duke

[No pop-up window] The Satya Empire fell overnight. This caused a huge sensation on the road. Even many civilians knew how powerful the Magic City was, and countless versions of legendary stories were scattered all over the sky. Many bards have earned a lot of money
Of course, as long as the nobles with a little ability know that this attack has nothing to do with the magic city, it is made by a small baron's subordinates. These nobles have two attitudes towards Cook. Ke is simply to God of Wealth. Because of the cooperation with Cook, there is almost no unprofitable snow sugar business that makes many aristocrats mouthful, not to mention that Cook’s Baronian territory consumes tens of billions of gold coins every year. Of course. Most of them were shipped to the orc’s Maykai Empire, but no matter the tens of billions of gold coins were transported there, they were enough to allow these nobles to step up the production of food and livestock as long as there were Cooks.
In the past, nobles were willing to burn the grains during the harvest year in order to ensure the stability of the prices of grains and livestock, but were not willing to sell them because it could maintain the price of grains. However, with the tens of thousands of Yalong’s The price of livestock, regardless of size, is several times higher than the previous price, and the white wine invented by Cook has doubled the price of human food. Not only these nobles can exchange food for the elites made by the dwarves that were rare in the past. equipment
And these nobles need more people if they want to harvest more food, and the rise in food prices has also made the dark battles of various nobles competing for the people more and more fierce. The tax collected before was half but now it is only 30%. Some even secretly have some benefits such as clothes and meat, so the life of the common people in the human world has improved a lot, even the slaves can now eat some meat in January. If they were in the past, the slaves could not eat meat for a lifetime. It is also possible
Therefore, this time Cook sent troops to directly capture the Satya Empire. Many nobles also secretly applauded. Of course, there are also discordant voices. However, such discordant voices are a small group of people who cannot benefit from the cooperation with Cook.
Cook did not expect that in the following days, the invitations of various cocktail parties would pounce on himself like leaves. What Cook didn't know was that the Pan-Continental Aristocratic Joint Council had decided to grant the title of Duke of Cook, and this was the highest joint council. Authorized by
In fact, many nobles know that Cook’s baronian territory now has more income than an empire. As for their own combat power, according to the statistics of some well-meaning people, the group of dragons who live in Cook’s baronial territory now exceeds three. There are ten and there are as many as seven kinds, and the number is close to three thousand heads. Everyone can't think of what kind of power can directly sweep the three thousand dragons.
There are also nearly one hundred thousand dwarves, thirty thousand gnomes, and one hundred and fifty thousand barbarians living in Cook’s baronial territory. Already nearly three hundred thousand strong orcs. There is also a tribe of Frost Titans. The tribes of human demons and trolls have occupied more than two thousand kilometers of mountains around the Baron’s territory, not to mention the magic airship manufacturing base
The original Baronian territory of Cooke was more than two hundred kilometers long and about one hundred kilometers wide. Now it is densely populated with people. Various races have humans, dwarves, dwarfs, savages, barbarians, orcs, and Titans live in harmony with each other. Even the surrounding mountains have tall buildings. Those are castles built by some nobles. Because Cook’s territory has the highest safety factor. According to Cook’s understanding, the number of castles built by the nobles in his own territory exceeds one hundred and fifty. Built in the surrounding mountains
So this time, the Pan-Continental Aristocracy Union Council directly gave Cook a big convenient door to directly advance a thousand kilometers north on the division of the dukedom. Of course some people sneered at this because everything is well-kilometers, then it is the territory of the orcs. No one raised objections during the negotiation of this reward, but these cunning nobles soon regretted it.
As for the east-west pan-continental aristocratic joint council, it has directly drawn three thousand kilometers from the Natal Mountains bordering the Arran Empire to the Barbarian Kingdom and the Berserker Kingdom. The Totisnia Heights is close to the Elf Kingdom. Territory in the Warcraft Forest
The well-known Natal Mountains run through the entire continent, but gradually disappear at the easternmost Light Empire. To the north of the Natal Mountains is the huge orc empire, and in the south is the human empire.
The Kingdom of Gnomes, the Kingdom of Dwarves, lives in the mountains near the Natal Mountains, the Kingdom of Berserkers, the Kingdom of Barbarians, occupies the Highlands of Totisnia, and the Kingdom of Elves, goes deep into the Warcraft Forest, so all the empires that are closed to Cook’s territory have no objection
Because Cook’s new territory does not border the other major empires, the only border is the Arran Empire, but the Arran Empire has experienced the fact that the Satya Empire was overthrown overnight, for fear that Cook will cause trouble, so I have to hurry up. Sign the award appointment letter
Dozens of empires signed the same appointment letter, which has never happened before, but not long after, these dozens of empires regretted the appointment they signed.
Cook is not interested in other receptions, but this appointment ceremony Cook is still very interested. The Duke is already regarded as a top noble. Even if Cook is now self-proclaimed king, no one will object.
"After the master has this appointment, we can occupy those places with integrity." Sebastian looked at the reception with thousands of people. Because Cook did not participate in the rest of the reception, the nobles at the appointment ceremony were exceptional. Many
"En told Bagglu to speed up the transfer of the ogres and trolls in the underground world" Cook said. Now people on the mainland think the Natal Mountains are extremely dangerous, but in Cook's eyes it is actually rich in resources. land
The Natal Mountains are tall and steep, and there are almost no traces of humans. But because of this, there are rich resources and minerals in the Natal Mountains. Not to mention all kinds of wild fruits. This is a good material for making fruit wine, as well as mushrooms, various wild vegetables. Needless to say, although these places are not suitable for human habitation, they are very good places for ogres and trolls. Now most of the places near the northwest in the Natal Mountains are covered. Ogre and troll tribes occupy
In the past, trolls didn’t know how to grow, so Cook arranged for the troll tribe to plant fruits in the mountains, picking mushrooms, magic herbs, burning charcoal, and other technologies that allowed ogres to gradually break away from hunting for a living. Enough to provide Cook with hundreds of millions of gold coins
"Your Excellency" and just said a word in Sebastian. Only a fat old man wearing the earl's badge held a glass of wine to greet Cook
"Hello, Lord Earl" Cook is annoyed because tonight these nobles are queuing to greet him and Cook has now drunk dozens of glasses, but Cook looked at the one hundred who was waiting on the other side. Many people Cook knows that more than a hundred people are waiting to say hello to him
"Hello, hello, my lord, congratulations," the earl said after seeing Cook toast to himself
"Thank you" Cook smiled and took a sip and looked at the other party directly. You should know that it is impolite to kill the wine in the noble manners. But Cook saw that the count’s excited hands were shaking and he was obviously too excited.
But tonight’s waiter is obviously focused on Cook’s side. The earl just got killed and the waiter brought a tray of drinks over.
"My lord, I want to find time to visit you. I don't know when you have time." The earl only then realized that he was rude and bit his scalp and asked in a low voice.
"Hehe I have something to go out in a few days, so I'm afraid I won't have time." Cook replied with a smile.
"Then I will trouble you," the earl stammered obviously disappointed at Cook's answer.
"But if you have anything, you can tell me now" Cook said with a smile when he saw the earl's disappointment.
"This Lord Duke thank you so much, thank you so much" The earl was obviously not prepared for such a transition and bowed in excitement.
In the end, the earl approached Cook for nothing more than selling the fruit and food in his territory to the third floor of the Underground World. You should know that there are already many nobles in Dunmore City on the third floor of the Underground World that have opened shops inside. Humans occupy the area on the first floor of Dunmore City. Now the entire outside of Dunmore City has been built with a wall of tens of meters high. The range has expanded to more than two kilometers. The customers of these merchants are those who like to buy fruits with precious metals such as gems and gold. The elves of the drow city of ale, bread and milk
However, the third floor of the Underground World is determined by Cook's Chamber of Commerce. It is not eligible to enter without the permission of the Cook Chamber of Commerce. Although this qualification requires a huge amount of funds, Cook's Chamber of Commerce has the quota to ensure the interests of these noble chambers of commerce. The limited number of places is determined by Cooke, even Gerry only has suggestions, so the earl will look for Cook
"Thank you, Lord Duke, you are so generous. This is a little bit of my care." The earl was ecstatic after hearing Cook's consent and thanked him in succession and then came up with a list.
"You are spending money." There is no way for Cook to participate in the appointment ceremony to receive gifts and Cook does not reject it because Cook knows this is the relationship
After this ceremony, the interest forces involved in Cook's back are bigger and more complicated. It can be said that Cook's every move now concerns the interests of countless people.
But Cook, as the party concerned, was not complacent in such a relationship because Cook’s gaze was no longer on this plane.
No one knows Cook’s trace on the second day after Cook attended the ceremony, and our Cook is now traveling to the Alliance of Planes.
ps: Haha, this volume is over. The legend. This is the legend. Cook is now the first person on the mainland. Of course, Cook will not discard the current plane, but the focus of future development has been shifted to the other planes outside. Relationship
