Chapter 305: Obtaining Information about Baron Darklay's Territory

"What if you don't ride a horse? For example, a teleportation platform? There's no way a knight wouldn't use a teleportation platform, right?"

"Yes, the teleporter can save half the time, but we have to ride for four or five days to get to Fort Malabene, which is the upper level fort of our Bergen Fort."

"Fort Bergen? Named after the village of Bergen?"

"Historically, Bergen Fort was built first, and then Bergen Village. In fact, the civilians here are all descendants of the soldiers and their families stationed at the fort."

"The military fort has been there for so long? The villagers of Bergen don't even know what the military fort is called."

"Yes. This fort was originally a border fort, with the forest as its boundary. Later, the territory expanded and the forest became your Majesty's forest, and no one mentioned the fort anymore. Rumor has it that this fort collapsed at one point, and then craftsmen came one day to rebuild it and build a teleportation platform, which has been in use until today."

"Do you know how to get to Fort Marabene?"

"I'm sorry, I don't know. The farthest I've ever been is Darklay City."

The butler told a story, and Ye Na wrote it all down quickly, then changed the question.

"Where is the Darkrai City you just mentioned?"

"The double-branch road outside the town, one leads here, and the other leads to Darklay City, Darklay Barony."

"Baron and Viscount, which one..." Ye Na gestured with his hands several times to indicate the difference between the two titles.

"Viscount is higher, Baron is the lowest rank and can be inherited. Knight is lower and is only granted to individuals and cannot be inherited. Even if the heir wants to become a knight, he must go through all the steps. But if he becomes a hereditary knight, then the heir can skip the previous steps and directly become a formal knight, and continue to make meritorious contributions on the battlefield, working hard for the next generation to inherit the family knight title."

"Knight Dewell, you need to send people to fight in battles for generations, and you also need to have enough military merits to keep your knighthood?"

"Yes."

"What if there's no one in this family fighting?"

"Of course, it is His Majesty who will take back the Knighthood."

Yenna nodded secretly while recording. This was the same as what the townspeople and villagers said. If a knight's family killed all the male members, they would lose the knighthood.

"Without the knight leader, what will happen to the lady and children?"

"You can take your property with you. You can either buy land and become a local landlord, or you can marry your daughter well and live off her."

"What about you?"

"We servants need to find a new master."

"Can a knight be promoted to baron?"

"Yes, but it's difficult. Several generations of our masters have wanted to become barons, but have never succeeded."

"so tough?"

“It’s very difficult.”

"Who is that Viscount Shenberg to your Knight Master?"

"He is the commander on the battlefield."

"Can I become a baron through him?"

"Still working on it."

"Well, it seems you don't know much about this."

"Feel sorry."

"It's okay, let's change it. What was the reaction here after the incident at the military fort?"

"Our young master wrote a letter to the higher-ups, but I don't know how long it will take to get a reply."

"Why?" "The transmission platform is gone. If we want to send a message, we have to go to Fort Malabene, which will take a lot of time."

"So..." Ye Na couldn't help but let her imagination run wild.

"Yes, the person who delivered the letter may still be on the way." The butler is worthy of being a butler. He accurately guessed Ye Na's thoughts at that moment.

"That's not right. All thirty teleportation platforms are gone, and no one else can use them. Aren't you going to check if they've lost contact?"

"Investigate, of course we have to. Every teleportation platform is the property of His Majesty and is used by the military. But the teleportation platform is gone and there is no communication. If they want to investigate, they have to send someone here. We don't even know if the person we sent to deliver the letter has arrived in the capital."

"It has to be you who deliver the letter, and not through someone else? The baron can't help?"

"No, the knighthood is earned through military merit on the battlefield. It was a ceremony personally presided over by His Majesty in the Grand Palace of the Royal Capital. He is His Majesty's knight, so he can guard places with military forts. The privilege he gets is that if there are any abnormal situations, he can send letters directly to the military, and he cannot use someone else's hand. We have no affiliation with the barony. If we ask the baron to send the letter, and anything goes wrong in the middle, our master will be in trouble."

"To get to the next-level fort, do we have to go through the barony?"

"Yes, we need to get out of the barony and go to another noble territory."

"It's been more than ten days. The messenger hasn't come back, and the person who should have come to investigate hasn't arrived either. The old lady and the heir haven't said anything."

"No, we've been waiting."

Ye Na thought she had heard wrongly. This was so inefficient. Such an important transmission platform was lost, and no investigators had been seen for half a month.

Could it be that the thirty teleportation platforms in Bergen Village are not important?

That's not right. She pulled out the two-way transmission platform on Blue Star, and the opening was in the forest outside Bergen Fort.

This shows that the path is correct.

Could it be related to the fact that she pulled out the teleportation platforms in several secret realms on Blue Star?

Ye Na thought about it and gave up the idea. She didn't care about the efficiency of the natives. She just wanted to know that pulling out all the transmission platforms did cause trouble for them.

Without the teleportation platform, their access to the Blue Star is cut off, and the passage between the two worlds is in her hands alone. Hey, who else can be the richest person in the world besides her?
Thinking of her bright future, a slight smile appeared on Ye Na's face.

"Without the teleporter, transportation is so difficult. Can I boast that our country is huge?"

"Thank you, our territory is very large." Speaking of the territory's area, the housekeeper's face was full of pride.

"How long does it take to ride from here to that Baron City?"

"It takes a whole day to ride a horse. We start in the morning and arrive in the afternoon."

"Very good. Are all the men in the family here?"

"Yes, in the great drawing-room."

"Okay, I'll take them away."

"……what?!"

"Don't forget, I'm here for revenge. I'm going to take away all the stock in your warehouse, but the things in this house will be left to you. You better find a new owner as soon as possible. This place is over."

As soon as Ye Na finished speaking, the butler fell to the ground and lost consciousness.

Then, Ye Na began to search the house.

First, all the books in the library were moved out, and she opened a special mycelium compartment in the space to store these books.

Then, they looted the house of its valuable possessions, including gold, silver, jewelry, and things that looked like antiques. They also took away emblems of knights, family and territory flags, and other symbols and tokens of loyalty.

While collecting the gifts, Ye Na felt that she was so kind. She even thought about preserving their cultural treasures and building a museum for exhibition in the future, and charging admission fees from the natives.

She didn't take anything in the kitchen or the beautiful clothes in the bedroom. If she took these things, she would have to find a way to exchange them for money, which would be too much trouble. She might as well leave them to the servants.
