Another flag was erected on the gate tower of Dahl City.

Originally, there were two flags erected here, namely the Dragon Tail Flag symbolizing the Dahl family and the Gold Coin Federation. The Gold Coin Flag was higher and the Dragon Tail Flag was lower, which meant that the Dahl family belonged to the Gold Coin Federation. But today, there was a third flag in the middle of these two flags.

The green jellyfish flag symbolizing the Void Mask Church flutters high, much higher than the gold coin flag.

This means that the Dahl's leadership has changed from a traditional aristocratic leadership to a church leader. From today on, the Dahl's family will become a vassal of the Void Mask Church. If there are inheritance disputes in the future, they will only find the Void Mask Church to preside over the mediation, which has nothing to do with other nobles.

To put it bluntly, they broke away from the aristocratic system and joined the priesthood system.

This kind of thing is not common, but it sometimes happens. Some weak nobles often consider holding on to the thighs of a strong church and moving from the aristocratic system to the priesthood system.

For those weak nobles, if they want to survive and continue their family, they always have to hold their thighs. It doesn’t matter which one family is. Compared with the nobles who are kind on the surface but eat people without spitting bones behind their backs, most kind churches are sincere, reliable and trustworthy. The only problem is that the kind church has strict requirements for believers and lords. If the family cannot keep on the path of kindness in the future, they may be deprived of their territory. This kind of thing has happened more than once in the past.

But even so, weak nobles still switch to the priesthood system from time to time. After all, it is rare for good churches to deprive territory, while it is much more common for big nobles to annex small nobles.

The most common method for the great nobles is to marry a daughter, marry a daughter to be the wife of the little nobles, and then their children will naturally be the heirs of the territory. If there is a problem with the inheritance rights of the family, the great nobles, as elders, will naturally come forward and arrange for a daughter's direct junior to change their surname to inherit the family.

This so-called occupying the magpie's nest is not a very clever method, but it is better because it is completely in line with the legal tradition inherited by the nobles. After all, in theory, the daughter's direct junior also has the right to inherit - although it is not big, the difference between "existence" and "non-existence" is the most important.

There are also methods that are more beautiful, for example, if you have several generations of marriages, then the two families will naturally "you have me and I have you". At that time, they will swallow the little noble silently, and they will not even need an opportunity for inheritance disputes.

In contrast, although the good churches are restrictive and have much control, they will never do such things.

Baron Dahl did not intend to change the nature of his territory, but human calculations were not as good as God's calculations. The eldest son he had worked hard to cultivate had an accident not long ago - it was not that he died, but that the "young man" who had been married and had children suddenly awakened his special bloodline.

Awakening the special bloodline is generally not a bad thing, but what if the awakening the demon bloodline?

This incident made Baron Dahl unexpectedly. Although he had blocked the news and was not known to outsiders, the key to the problem was not here - he could be sure that the eldest son was his biological son, the direct bloodline of the Dahl family. Since this child can awaken the demon bloodline, what about the other members of the Dahl family?

This was what worried him the most, especially after he asked the main priest Kabbalah to hold a secret large-scale ceremony and confirmed that his wife had absolutely no demonic bloodline, he became even more troubled.

Theoretically, the eldest son's demonic bloodline may come from his grandparents, the Baron's father-in-law and mother-in-law, but the two old men have long passed away, and Baron Dahl is really embarrassed to dig up graves for this matter - not to mention digging out a pile of rotten bones, I am afraid that most of them will not be able to verify anything.

And... to be honest, Baron Dahl thinks that this bloodline is mostly derived from the consistent inheritance of the Dahl family.

He carefully recalled the process of his ancestor's success back then, and felt that this ancestor who had always felt cunning, profound and skillful in the past was quite a bit of the legendary devilish cunning.

More importantly, after his ancestor became rich, he died inexplicably in his prime, and his son did not express any special statement. He originally thought that this ancestor was killed by his son, but now he thought about it carefully... I am afraid that the ancestor had discovered signs of his blood awakening and had to use death to avoid the crisis to protect the family.

When he thought about it this way, he became even more certain that the demonic bloodline of the Dahl family mostly came from this ancestor who created the family.

So the question arises. Is Baron Dahl, who is most likely to have the devil's bloodline, still suitable to be a lord?

Nonsense! Of course not!

Nobles pay the most attention to face. The so-called "honor is my life" is definitely not just empty talk. Many things are shameless. Once exposed, they will be discouraged by others at the least, and the legitimacy of the entire family will be questioned.

Having the Demonic Bloodline is one of the most serious things among these things, and the severity can be roughly ranked among the top three.

Baron Dahl was very resentful about this. There were too many dirty things in the aristocratic circle. Many people did not look like humans, but they were not much better than demons. More than a hundred years ago, there was a female noble who arrested the virgins of civilians in the territory and drew blood to bathe in order to protect her youth.

Although Baron Dahl is a demonic bloodline, he can't do this even if he asks himself.

He is not a good person, but bad people also need to pay attention to style. Draw blood to bathe? Is it good to lose the face of the "bad people" group?

Compared with this kind of poisonous woman, the devil may not be much cruel.

However, no matter how angry he was, the demon bloodline was still a problem that could not be avoided.

So after thinking about it, the most appropriate way was to leave the aristocratic system and transfer to the priesthood system.

The Void Mask Church does not discriminate against all races and bloodlines, even the demon bloodline. He once asked the Kabbalah Priest on this matter, and the Kabbalah Priest also held a prayer and asked the great Void Mask directly for instructions. His Majesty's answer was "As long as you abide by my doctrine, let alone the demon bloodline, even if it is a demon, I will also recognize his faith and be willing to protect him."

This dispelled Baron Dahl's last concerns, so he gathered the core members of the family and held a secret meeting. At the meeting, he talked about the crisis facing the Dahl family, and called out the eldest son who had awakened the bloodline of the demon and had a small horn on his forehead to meet everyone. Finally, he asked the main priest Kabbal who was also present to hold a small bloodline screening ceremony.

The result of bloodline identification was not beyond his expectations. Among the core members of the Dahl family, three of them were identified with weak demon bloodlines.

In other words, the Dahl family really has demonic blood, but it's just very weak.
