Heroes of Silver Moon Chapter 423

The palace, in the king's study.

"You really want to do this!" The old king looked at Simon blankly.

Simon struggled a bit, but nodded firmly: "That's right!"

"Okay!" The old king got up helplessly, pulled out the sword of king's power hanging on the wall behind him, stared at the sword of king's power here, and slowly pointed the tip of the sword at Simon.

"Simon Hauke, kneel down!" The old king shouted solemnly.

Getting up from his seat, without any hesitation, Simon clenched his right hand on his left chest and knelt down in front of the old king.

"Simon Hawke, are you willing to give up the glory of the Hawke family, the surname of the Hawke family, and the identity of the heir to the High Mountain Territory to become a glorious pioneer knight!"

The tip of the old king's sword slanted downward, pointing to Simon's forehead.

"I am willing!" Simon looked up, looking at the old king with firm eyes.

The old king secretly sighed in his heart, and then patted Simon's left and right shoulders twice with the king's power sword, and shouted solemnly:

"As the King of Silvermoon, I canonize you as the pioneer knight of the Silvermoon Kingdom. From today onwards, you will abandon the surname of the Hawke family and the glory of the Hawke family. From today onwards, you will only be Simon, not Simon Hauke!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty Ron!" There was also some reluctance in Simon's eyes, but he quickly suppressed it.

"Child, get up!" The old king put the Sword of Power back into its sheath, and called Simon up softly.

The two returned to their seats again, and the old king looked at Simon with some emotion: "Is it worth it?"

Simon shrugged with a wry smile: "I think it's worth it!"

The corner of the old king's mouth curled up: "Then come on! Without a suitable dowry, the royal family will not just marry a princess like this!"

Simon looked a little embarrassed. Although I peeped at your great-granddaughter, you don't have to say it so bluntly!

After completing the change of identity, Simon took out his identity certificate and found that the original page had been invalidated, and on the new page, his name was Simon Pioneer.

In this world, only nobles have their own surnames, and commoners are not qualified to have surnames.

Pioneering knights cannot be regarded as nobles, because only after successfully opening up a territory, they will be conferred the corresponding title of nobility.

But they can't be regarded as commoners, because they have the qualifications to become nobles in the future, although the chance of successfully opening up the territory is pitifully small.

Therefore, pioneer, this is the exclusive surname that belongs to pioneer knights.

Choosing to become a pioneering knight was not because Simon was in a rush, but a choice he made after careful consideration.

The private domains of the lords cannot be expanded at will. Unless it is a royal reward, otherwise it can only be as much as it is. It can be sold or bought, but the object of the transaction must be a noble without a fief.

If the transaction object is a noble with a fief, then sorry, this is an illegal transaction in the eyes of the royal family.

Either the two parties cancel the transaction, or the buyer divides the family into two, selects one of the family heirs, and re-establishes a new noble family.

If the royal decree is ignored, the royal family will immediately confiscate the territories of both parties.

And if a family member wants to open up a territory, please feel free if the family does not have a fief, but if the family has a fief of more than one town, then the pioneer must leave the original family.

This is also a policy formulated by the royal family to guard against the arbitrary expansion of powerful lords, which will lead to an imbalance in the power balance of the entire kingdom.

After returning to the southern border, if the development of the high mountain collar is done step by step, no matter how Simon farms and hangs out, it is impossible for the royal family to see it in five to eight years.

First of all, the first question is, even if the development of the Alpine Territory is good, who is the current lord of the Alpine Territory, and does it have anything to do with you, Simon?

Although it is said to be the heir of the High Mountain Territory, after all, it has not yet achieved the position of the lord, and it is not yet known whether there will be any changes.

Aren't there still rare examples of the second son and the **** successfully inheriting the territory?

Besides, even if it is guaranteed to successfully inherit the position of lord, how many years later, is it plausible for a royal princess to marry the heir of a local lord?

If the royal family really did that, where would the majesty and face of the royal family go?

Therefore, after careful consideration, Simon still felt that he had opened up the world and opened up a new territory. In this way, the potential for development will be greater.

To re-open a territory, first, the area of the territory is not limited.

As a pioneering knight, before he was canonized by the royal family, he could occupy as much territory as he wanted.

Second, there is no obstruction by stubborn forces.

Although the Hawke family is relatively desolate, and there are relatively few collateral members and retainers of the family, but if Simon wants to make a big splash in the Alpine Territory, I am afraid that these people will be the first to stand up and obstruct it.

Because Simon is not the lord of the Alpine Territory, he has no legal power to manage the territory.

And if a new territory is opened up, he is the lord of the territory, and there is no stubborn force in the territory to obstruct him, so he can implement whatever laws he wants.

After thinking about these things, Simon decided to leave the Hawke family and become a pioneer.

Although doing so, he will definitely be blamed by his parents when he goes back~www.mtlnovel.com~ But we will talk about things in the future. To revive the Hawke family, he does not necessarily have to stay in the Hawke family.

When developing the territory, bring the Hawke family along to develop together, or merge the two territories when the time is right, this can revive the Hawke family!

As for how to merge the territories? Simon has some ideas now.

But this idea has to wait a few years later, when the old king passes away.

With this tough His Majesty the king around, he didn't dare to be cautious, and he had better wait until the current His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, his father-in-law-to-be, takes the position.

The methods of this prospective father-in-law are, at best, benevolent and invincible, at worst, they are merciful, and there is no thunderbolt method to deter people with ulterior motives.

When His Highness the Crown Prince came to power, Simon would definitely be able to coax him into allowing the Hawke family's high mountain territory to merge with his newly developed territory.

Walking out of the gate of the palace, Simon heaved a sigh of relief. The identity certificate of the Hawke family had been cancelled, and now it was too late to repent, so he could only bite the bullet and stride forward.

"However, it's impossible to open up the territory without talents!" Simon smiled.

He trained Harris and others in the past four years, didn't he just want them to learn alpine collars like himself?

Now the plan has changed slightly, but generally speaking, it is not harmful, and it is even more beneficial. After all, the promise of a lord and the promise of an heir are completely different things.

Having known each other for such a long time, Simon believes that Harris and others definitely know his character and ability.

The chances of others doing such things as opening up a territory may be slim, but he, a master mage and a more partial master alchemist, is not very good at this kind of thing!
