early morning.
The study on the second floor of the lord's mansion.
Felix stood in front of the desk.
His expression was respectful.
Richard leaned back in his chair, sipping Iridium blueberry juice while reviewing the initial draft of the law.
It must be said that Felix is indeed a man of great talent and ability; the draft was quite detailed and covered all aspects of the territory.
The rights and obligations of the people, the tax system, public security management, workshop regulations, and even the way to handle neighborhood disputes are all clearly written down.
You can look at it more and more.
Richard's brow furrowed even more.
He placed the draft on the table, tapping his fingers lightly on the surface, causing Felix to instinctively straighten his back.
"Not bad."
"But there are still problems in the overall direction."
Felix bowed in greeting.
"Please enlighten me, sir, what is wrong with this?"
Richard put down his cup, pointed to the document, and said in a deep voice:
"It's a matter of ideology."
"Even serfs should be protected in the same way as free people. The cost of harming them should be increased to deter those who think it doesn't matter if they harm serfs."
Felix was somewhat puzzled.
"As you wish, I have increased the compensation for assault from one silver coin to one gold coin. Hopefully, this will have a deterrent effect?"
Richard shook his head and drew a line on the draft with a quill pen.
"That's the problem."
"In chiffon, class only means enjoying different benefits and status, and does not mean that the higher class can harm the lower class at will."
"Take assault as an example. Whether it is a free man who injures a serf or a Chiffon citizen who injures a free man, it cannot be settled simply by paying compensation."
"The specific punishment should be determined according to the degree of injury. Minor injuries will be punished with caning, serious injuries with labor reform, and the most serious cases will be sentenced to death."
"I want everyone to understand that life and property are sacred and inviolable on my territory."
"No matter how high the other party's status or how rich they are, I cannot easily harm their interests."
"certainly."
"The military is a bit different. If a soldier commits a crime, he can be demoted one level in punishment, but there will be military law waiting for him."
"For example, I might revoke the extraordinary professions I've bestowed upon them, or remove them from the professions, or even demote them to free citizens."
"Soldiers enjoy honor and benefits, but they must also abide by the rules and cannot use their privileges as an excuse to act recklessly."
"What I just mentioned refers to the infringement of the lower class by the upper class, but we should also be aware of the offenses that the lower class may commit against the upper class."
"If someone offends or clashes with people of a higher social class, the crime will be aggravated, and the status and special status of those of higher social class must be guaranteed."
Richard hoped everyone would stay quietly in their own social class and not cause trouble.
The fact that the crimes committed by those of lower social classes are aggravated is actually a warning to them to be mindful of their status and not to act rashly and recklessly.
Then, safeguard the lives of the most vulnerable people to prevent someone who is not afraid of death from shouting mindless words like "Are kings and nobles born with special privileges?"
This is a feudal society.
Don't make too many unnecessary things happen.
The ultimate goal is to ensure that I, the lord at the very top, can live a comfortable and carefree life!
As for the issue of soldiers committing crimes, there's not much to say about that.
If someone commits a serious offense, they can be removed from the online roster, and everything assigned by the system will become invalid, including their profession...
...
Felix remained silent for a moment, then a look of understanding gradually appeared in his eyes. He bowed respectfully.
"OK."
"I'll go back and draft a new version right away."
But as he turned to leave, Richard called him back. He stopped and asked:
"Does the lord have any further instructions?"
Richard did not speak immediately, but stood up and walked to the window, looking out at the vibrant courtyard.
Summer-plantable flowers have completed their first seed fission with the help of the [Seed Producer].
In many corners of the camp, small plots of land have been cleared out, where summer flowers and plants are being grown.
He remained silent for a long while...
Richard spoke slowly, his voice much lower.
"Felix."
"You were at Wolfsburg the day my mother died, weren't you?"
Felix's body stiffened abruptly, and the calm on his face vanished instantly, but he still managed to restrain himself.
"Yes."
"I was teaching your brother at the time."
...
"Then tell me..."
"How exactly did my mother die?"
...
Felix shook his head slightly before responding in a firm, low voice.
"The Countess really did die of illness, and it had nothing to do with the Earl. It's definitely not what you think."
Richard sighed softly.
"This is Chiffon Cake, not Wolf Cake. Don't worry about the Earl's prohibition. Can't you just tell me the truth?"
Done.
He turned around, his gaze fixed on Felix.
"My mother is a mid-level superhuman with physical abilities far exceeding those of ordinary people. Not to mention minor illnesses like headaches and fevers, she can easily resist even common plagues."
"You say she died of illness? Do you think I'd believe that? I just want to know if the Darkmoon Elves were behind it all?"
...
More than 30 years ago.
At the behest of the old count, young Griffin married a young woman, but he had no feelings for her at all.

At the behest of the old count, young Griffin married a young woman, but he had no feelings for her at all.
After succeeding to the throne.
He would rather lead his knights on a journey across the land than return to Wolfsburg.
Later, they ran to the Golden Forest and stayed there for a while.
As a result, they inexplicably formed an alliance with the Darkmoon Tribe, and then returned to the Wolf Pack to quietly develop their territory.
Since then, with the Darkmoon Tribe's blood transfusion-like assistance.
The Wolves, originally unknown and weak in the North, quickly rose to become the second largest territory in the North.
Ten years ago.
A war broke out between the Golden Forest and the dwarves.
With the help of Wolves and Darkmoon, the Star Empire and the Golden Forest formed a temporary alliance.
Running wolf.
Frost.
In addition, some territories in the south sent troops to support the Golden Forest, ultimately helping the elves defeat the dwarves.
After this battle...
The Golden Forest fully opened its border trade with the Star Empire, enriching many lords in the southern border region.
The outstanding performance of the Wolf Knights on the battlefield made the Earl famous, and even many alien races knew the name of the Wolf Knights.
If not.
How could a mere count's territory possibly have the ability and influence to persuade the Universal Library to accept Freya as an exception?
It's all because it involves the political influence of the entire Gold Forest region.
and.
With the population of Benlangling, a total of several million acres of farmland have been developed.
If it weren't for the support of the Darkmoon, which opened up trade relations with the elves and brought them immense wealth, they would have been able to succeed.
Even the Wolf Warriors didn't have the financial resources to cultivate a powerful knightly order and several extraordinary experts at the Lan Yue level.
They even had spare money to mass-produce "Healing Potions" and distribute them free of charge to their subjects, thus eliminating the influence of the Church of Light in their territory.
It should be noted that the Wolf Ancestor was merely a beast tamer mage with ordinary bloodline, no different from any other ordinary person.
Unlike Frost and the others, they do not possess a natural bloodline.
It was because his ancestors were quite capable that they achieved great military exploits when the empire was developing the northern border, which is why they were granted the title of earl.
After their ancestor passed away, the Wolf Ranger quickly declined into a third-rate territory.
Griffin brought the Wolfrunning Territory to its peak in history, with its combat power approaching that of the Frostfoil Grand Duchy.
so...
In the hearts of all the nobles in the North, Griffin's abilities, methods, and reputation were unmatched by anyone else.
Moreover, he reached the Lan Yue level before the age of forty, and has a very high probability of reaching the Sheng Yao level.
Saint-level Beast Taming Mage!
This means he can tame Saint-level monsters at the same level using arcane techniques!
Once a suitable target is found, it could easily add several more Saint-level combatants to the future Wolves!
Given its future potential and current combat strength, no Northern nobleman could help but be secretly impressed.
Even the Star Emperor has praised Griffin's achievements on multiple public occasions.
...
Merits...?
Richard found this amusing.
If infidelity counts...
