Chapter 4 2. The Demon-bearer, the Noble and Bloodline

When Rant stood up and prepared to help the two important officials personally, he felt like he had never had in his previous life.

That's why I was so tall? After standing up straight, I felt that most of the people around me were only below my chest, only Abert, Roll and three other men were about the same height as me.

After they all stood up, Rol was one end taller than Rand, Albert was a little taller than Rand, and the other three were one end shorter than Rand.

Rand experienced the world looking at the height of more than two meters for the first time. He felt that the basketball players in his previous life should have this perspective, but he was a little dizzy.

"Lante, don't stand for too long. You have just broken through. Now is the stage of rapid growth in your body. Since you stimulated the bloodline of demons, you shouldn't have grown like this." Albert held Rant and sat down slowly, but at this time, Rant felt a lot of confusion in his heart.

What's going on? Can we still grow up after upgrading? Can our level and body be linked?

"Uncle Albert, tell me what's going on, when will I break through? What should I do in the future?" Rand wanted Albert to say more information about this world.

But he was in a messy organizational language, and he could not find any concepts about demon-bearing, extraordinary, and promotion in his memory.

"By the way, after you stimulated your bloodline, I have been busy with territorial affairs and forgot to tell you this." Albert felt a little ashamed. Then he began to introduce the extraordinary inheritance and promotion of the entire human world.

The source of everything comes from the double suns above the sky. Yes, the planet can see two suns during the day, a huge, slightly dimly called Raya, providing a small part of the sunshine, heat and most of the magic to the Alivian world where they are.

Another smaller, bright star of the Emperor Yang, is the source of most of the heat and sunshine and a small part of magic. The macro magic falls from the sky in the form of a variety of different magical elements, which is the gift of the sky and the gods to every race in Avila.

When individuals in a race can use magic, magic continues to flow in the individual's body, which can strengthen physical fitness and improve the individual's size, function and lifespan. These powerful people have become leaders of the race.

Through long-term exploration and experiment within the race, each race has found its own way to improve the strength of the strong and preserve the bloodline of the strong.

For humans, such a path is the three extraordinary career paths of knights, magicians and clergy.

Each path starts from the most ordinary demon-bearer who has just inspired the bloodline. The final point is the righteous god, with a total of 13 levels. Every level of improvement in the body's perception and interaction of magic will produce a qualitative leap.

Among the entire human group, those who can successfully inspire magical bloodline before the age of 14 are called demon-bearers.

It is difficult for demon-bearers to feel the magic elements in the air, but the enhancement of magic on them can already be seen from their appearance. All human demon-bearers are above 2 meters tall, regardless of gender, occupation or age, and other human demon-free people who cannot stimulate their bloodline will not exceed 2 meters tall.

In other words, starting from the age of 14, 10% of the population of the human race will be unique and become creatures of almost another race. In addition to height, once they become demon-bearers, their senses will be sharper and their lifespan will be longer. It is difficult for ordinary demon-free people to be over 60 years old, but 60-year-old demon-bearers can also engage in power-type jobs such as army, blacksmiths, etc.

Among the demon-bearers, less than half of them will become professions. The most common professions in the human race are knights, magicians and priests, that is, clergymen.

The lowest level of these professions is the apprentice knight, the magic apprentice and the priest apprentice. The titles of the three are not fixed, especially the priest apprentice. According to the different gods they serve, they are sometimes called assistant priests, assistant priests, etc., but the lowest level professions have completely consistent judgment criteria, that is, they can feel magic, but cannot use magic.

Starting from the third level of the demon-bearer, the names tend to be unified, including junior knights, junior mages, junior priests/priests/priests. The primary standard is to perform simple magic releases, up to 1-5 moves, spells or low-level magic.

The fourth level of the demon-bearer is an intermediate professional. They can skillfully release magic, use tricks, spells and low-level magic, and even use magic to form some perception around them.

Level 5 is a high-level professional. They can release the magic power in their bodies outward to form a certain aura and magic field for a period of time. In this range, they can feel and influence people and things around them.

Level 6 is the Great Knight, Great Magician, and High Priest level. To some extent, they have entered the stage of surpassing mortals. They can form a stable aura or magic field, through which they can feel the magic environment of the entire world, and can also connect to other people's aura or magic field.

For example, the Great Knight can form a powerful knight formation with other intermediate and junior knights and use group tricks; while the Great Magician can use his own magic field to supplement magic for those above the junior magician around him or cast more powerful magic or mystery locks.

Albert knows little about level 7 or above. What he knows is that level 1, level 2, and level 3 are collectively called low-level demon-bearers, at levels 4-6, intermediate-level extraordinary, and level 7-9 are called high-level extraordinary.

Among them, the level 7, 8 and 9 of the knight is called the Silver Knight, the Sky Knight and the Golden Knight respectively; the magician is called the junior magician, the magician and the great magician respectively; the priest/priesthood is called the Temple Priest, the Altar Priest and the Pre-God Priest respectively.

The higher the level, the stronger the body, and the longer the life span. The first-level demon-bearer has a life span of around 100 years old, and the third-level demon-bearer can basically live to 100 years old, and at the age of 80, there is still the physical strength of the demon-free man about 40 years old;

It is normal to enter the middle level and break through the 100-year-old mark. Among them, the Great Knight and the Great Magic can almost live beyond 150 years old.

Entering the advanced level, life has successfully transformed. It is not uncommon for powerful golden knights aged 200-300. All three extraordinary people at level 8 can fly directly with their own strength.

As for the extraordinary at level 10-12, Albert only knew that 1,000 years ago, all the extraordinary people at this level were collectively called demigods.

Until the Divine Emperor ascended the throne, it was clear that the legendary rank was divided into three levels.

After entering the legendary rank, it can no longer be called ordinary creatures. Many powerful people who reached the legendary rank in the early stages of the establishment of human empires are still alive.

The three major professions of knight, magician and clergy are completely different in the initial stage. For knights, they are training physical strength and guiding fighting spirit; for magicians, they are constantly meditating to increase their own magic reserves; for clergy, they are constantly praying to make themselves closer to the gods.

However, after entering the middle level, the three practices have become common, and they are constantly mobilizing the magic power in their bodies, constantly practicing and applying magic power.

When it comes to the advanced level, professions above high-level knights, magicians and temple priests can easily use the abilities of other professions. For legendary strong men, there is almost no essential difference between these three professions, but more about the professions' own habits and proficiency.

Because of the powerful ability of the demon-bearer, all the noble levels, positions and resources of the human empire are formulated around the demon-bearer.

The population calculation basis of the empire is "hu", "min" and "ding", among which "ding" refers to the strong man above the demon-bearer, and "min" refers to the demon-free man. According to the law of the empire, only families with more than one demon-bearer can be calculated separately, that is, "hu" is a family surrounding a demon-bearer.

From the highest emperor, kings of each kingdom, grand duke of the principality, to the lowest barons, lords, knights, all human empires have requirements for the level of demon-bearer, and the level of demon-bearer, title of fief or inheritance, and the size of territory that the nobles can manage, and the number of people in the number of people.

Take the knight as an example. A knight with a knight's territorial territory can usually live in 5-30 households and a population of about 50-300 people.

Whether it is a knight who is enfeoffed or inherited from the knight rank, it requires the level of the junior knight.

When you arrive at the baron on the ground, the territory must be able to live in 20-200 households. If you divide the baron, you need to be granted the extraordinary to reach level 4, that is, an intermediate knight or an intermediate mage. If you inherit the baron, you need to be a demon-held person to reach the primary level.

From the beginning, the Baron can confer low-level titles such as knights, lords, or lifelong lords without inheritance.

The Baron is a viscount. The main difference in strength is the difference in status between the Baron and the Viscount. Both are enfeoffed by nobles above the Earl, but the territory of the Viscount is usually 50% larger than that of the Baron. At the same time, the inheritance and eschatment of the Viscount are one level higher than that of the Baron. In other words, only the demon-helders above the intermediate knight can inherit the Viscount's rank, and the demon-helders above the advanced knight can be enfeoffed with the Viscount's rank.

The above viscount is the earl. The real-world Count is already an important official in charge of a kingdom. The earl requires strong people who are above level 6 to inherit and above level 7 to inherit.

The marquis is one level higher than the Count's requirements. Level 7 inherits the 8th level of 10. Both the Count and the marquis can divide the baron and the viscount, but the viscounts assigned to the enfeoffment usually have to be approved by the king before they are considered formal appointments. The Count's fief requires that in addition to a town directly under the earl, at least one viscount and one baron must be able to divide the viscount.

The requirements are more stringent than the Duke, but the basic conditions are determined. The inheritance level needs to reach level 8 and the enfeoffment level needs to be above level 9.

The principality of a separate country has only a level 9 requirement for the Grand Duke, but it requires at least one legend in the country as the pillar, and the kingdom needs at least three legends as the pillars of the country in the kingdom.

In addition to the fiefdom nobles, there will also be palace nobles in territories above the marquis. These nobles either rely entirely on high-level nobles or have the right to govern some cities. They have no income from the fiefdom and can only take the salary and rewards of the superiors.

Therefore, there is no rule between the strength of the palace nobles and their titles.

The demon-bearer can become a lord and be supported by the people in the territory. He also has very strict obligations to the people and the territory. Two simplified from the aristocratic regulations of the empire: defending the territory and protecting the people.

Defending the territory means ensuring that the entire territory and the vassal territories are not invaded. The requirement for protecting the people is that the lord has an obligation to protect the people, including the demonless. In a desperate situation, he can ask the people to take refuge in other human cities or territories, and return to the original territory for reconstruction after a disaster.

Generally speaking, if the lord's territory is occupied but the lord is transferred, the title will not be removed within 3 years. As long as you can return to your hometown within 3 years, you can restore your rule in the territory and your title will not be reduced. However, if the lord's territory suffers more than 50% of the losses, the title will definitely not be preserved.

Under the above regulations, every noble who owns a fiefdom attaches great importance to the inheritance of his own bloodline.

Taking the Rand family as an example, according to the definition of Rand's hometown, his father, Hack Benma, actually has at least 10 children. There are 4,50 children of the same generation as Rand, among which Hack and his brothers of the same generation, there are a total of 4,50 children of the same generation as Rand, and many of the demon-free people died after they were born.

There are more than 30 people who can really grow to 14 or 15 years old. Among them, four demon-bearers were born, namely the eldest brother Ryan Benma, the second brother Obote Benma, the third brother Pelley Benma and his own Rand Benma. Among them, his second brother and third brother can only be regarded as their cousins ​​in the Pent Horse territory, but in the Pent Horse territory, they all became the sons of Hack Benma.

Huck raises four people like a parent and child, and the four will be as filial to Huck as their biological father. The four of them will also be sorted by age alone and given the surname of the galloping horse. The other demon-free people only have their own names and no last names.

According to the tradition of the border nobles, the eldest son of the noble will be trained to become the next noble;

The second son will be trained to become a knight or scholar in the territory;

The third son will be sent to the royal capital or the holy city to serve the gods and become priests. The descendants who serve the gods will not have the right to inherit, but can return to the territory to serve as priests;

If the children behind the third son have a promising future, they will go to the knights of the high-ranking nobles to try whether they can become court nobles, or they will serve as enfeoffed knights or family knights among other middle and low aristocrats.

In short, if you become a junior knight or above, you will always have some way out.

The above talks about the knight with the largest population ratio. If he is a mage, he will go to the mage tower in a big city and follow the mage to study magic.

The proportion of female demon-bearers among the entire human race is very stable. Between 25% and 33%, the descendants of female demon-bearers are more likely to give birth to demon-bearers than those without demons. Therefore, for the demon-bearers family, the status of female demon-bearers is very high.

However, the magic environment in the northwest border of the Dragon Kingdom where Rand is located is not good, so it is difficult for female demon-bearers to be born here all year round.

"You were just an apprentice knight before, and I don't even know if you can become a junior knight, so these words have not been said to you." Abert said while watching Rant digesting the rules of this world.

"It's different now. You are the baron of this territory now. If your father and your brother cannot come back, you must lead the people to survive, so I must first tell you these most basic knowledge."

"Abert, is it too late for us now? Rant, you need to decide as soon as possible whether we will leave the territory?" Roll said anxiously.
