Titles are a hierarchy of enfeoffed nobles within the monarchy. Generally, the level of enfeoffed titles is determined by the amount of land owned, which can be divided into five levels: Duke, Marquis, Earl, Viscount, and Baron.
Duke: Among the nobility, the duke is the first level and has the highest status. Those who are awarded the title of duke are all members of the royal family or close relatives of the royal family.
Marquis: Marquis is the second level of nobility. It refers to a border governor with special full powers, equivalent to a vassal or an independent feudal lord. Later, marquis became a title between a duke and an earl, above the earl.
Count: A count is an attendant of the emperor. He is in charge of military, civil and financial power. Sometimes he also serves as a local official and can become a hereditary feudal lord. Later, his status gradually declined, between a marquis and a viscount, and he was the third member of the nobility.
Level three.
Viscount: The viscount was the deputy of the earl, and later existed independently or could be hereditary.
Baron: Baron is the lowest level of noble title. The original meaning of Baron is "just an ordinary person", and later evolved into "a powerful person".
Among the five noble titles mentioned above, they are divided into two categories: hereditary nobles and lifelong nobles according to whether they can be passed on to future generations. A hereditary noble can be inherited by the eldest son after his death, and a lifelong noble can only hold the title while he is alive. After his death, his son
Cannot be inherited.
Above the male, the son, the uncle, the queen, and the duke is the prince, and is usually held by direct relatives of the royal family.
In each empire or kingdom, there are several nobles with absolute power, and each has its own different characteristics. However, to the world, they are collectively called: "the famous family among the famous families."

"Sha Ruo, did anyone bully you on the road?" Lin Yushang took Sha Ruo's hand and asked with a smirk on her face.
"Um~~No." Sha Ruo's face immediately turned red and she lowered her head and whispered.
"Haha, if someone...hehe" Lin Yushang waved her small fist as if in demonstration, and then asked with concern: "You haven't met any enemies, have you? I'm worried to death."
"Yeah~~ I met him. There were 5 enemies, but they were all killed by him."
"Oh, five enemies, so mysterious." As he spoke, Lin Yushang suddenly seemed to have discovered a new world, and his tone suddenly became weird: "He... who is he?"
Although Daqingshan has always been very pure, under the guidance of someone, he is still very sensitive to these tones, and immediately took over Lin Yushang's words: "There are 5 black knights coming to surround us, but it is still quite dangerous, but Lu'er
One person solved four."
"Ha." Amy patted Lu'er's bare forehead hard: "I'm not wrong about you, you are really amazing. Come on, let me kiss you." Amy stood on tiptoes and wanted to blow hard into Lu'er's ears.
In one breath, Lu'er didn't expect that Lu'er reacted very quickly, turned her head to avoid it, and then licked Amy's face with her big green tongue.
"Oh - it's so dirty." Amy touched her face hard, and as soon as it was clean, Lu'er came up and licked it again, and finally had to divert the target of Lu'er's tongue with a piece of beef.
At night, Da Qingshan suddenly said to Amy in bed: "Lu'er's magician level seems to have improved again. According to the teacher's test, it is estimated that she has reached a great magician."
"Well, it should be that the Dragon God has raised his level, so..." Amy whispered. Soon, fatigue attacked the two boys, and gentle snoring came from the hut.
Early the next morning, Lin Yushang and Sha Ruo put on formal clothes and invited Amy and Da Qingshan to visit Yi Su III, the king of the Hami people.
Although it is located in a remote place, the scale of the palace is very grand: it is built on a 20° hillside, with a red palace roof, white walls, tall arches, and a huge square in front of the palace, which is full of flowers.
The unique flowers on the frozen continent are bright red, and the breeze blows like flames beating. The snow water flowing down in the distance clangs down, and seems to spurt out in front of the square through a certain culvert, forming a natural
fountain.
The topography, color, and space create a magnificent architectural beauty, which gives an unimaginable shock to all those who see this palace for the first time.
Note: It is so cold on the frozen continent that there are few insects that can spread pollen, and in the cold wind, the fragrance of flowers is difficult to spread around. All flowers rely on birds to spread pollen. In order to attract birds, all flowers
The flowers are very large, and they are all red or other bright colors, making them easy for birds to find.
"Meet the Ambassador of the Amy Empire—" A tall Amy warrior straightened his chest and shouted loudly.
"The Ambassador of the Amy Empire is here to meet you——"
"The Ambassador of the Amy Empire is here to meet you——"
"The Ambassador of the Amy Empire is here to meet you——"
…
The warriors reported the news one by one.
"Meet the envoy of the state"
Likewise, a loud voice came from inside.
Lin Yushang led a group of four people into a huge castle.
On both sides were Hami men with scimitars in their hands, standing in four neat lines.
Yi Su III is a very tall and fat old man. His eyebrows have all turned white, hanging down from both sides to the corners of his mouth - only old Hami has this look in fairy tales.
Yi Su III took the certificate of credence from the attendant, picked up the national seal from the table and covered it. Then he asked very peacefully: "Are you the daughter of Earl Lin's family?" After receiving a positive answer, he
Then he sighed and said: "Twenty years ago, your father came to pick up the phantom beast. Time flies so fast. He was about the same age as you at that time."
Yi Su III turned over the list of envoys in his hand and asked strangely: "Isn't your Foreign Secretary the envoy of this mission? Why didn't he come? Is he sick?"
Lin Yushang briefly told Yi Su III the story of the attack along the way. Yi Su III raised his eyebrows and his face became very ugly: "There are still other things like this. Minister of Military Affairs, first, send someone to notify the border immediately.
, strictly investigate the black knights who attacked the envoy; secondly, arrange 500 wolf cavalry to prepare to escort the envoy back to the northern alliance of the Amy Empire."
"Yes, Your Highness." A middle-aged man in his forties with a green flying dragon embroidered on his body came out of the nobles and bowed respectfully to Yi Su III.
"By the way, how did you break through their attack?" Yi Su III looked concerned.
"Your Highness, we have invited a mercenary group to help. These are the two gentlemen behind me. They are mercenaries from a small mercenary group."
Lin Yushang turned sideways and introduced Amy and Daqingshan to Yi Su III.
"Small mercenary group?"
"The evil dragon chants the wind?"
"It's these two young people??"
…
More than 30 major nobles and officials of the Hami Kingdom in the main hall all exclaimed in surprise and disbelief.
Yi Su III was also quite surprised when he heard this: "Are they Amy and Da Qingshan who just completed the double S mission?"
Lin Yushang and Sha Ruo obviously couldn't imagine that Amy and Da Qingshan were so famous. As Yi Su III's eyes widened, he looked at the two little boys who had been together for many days again.
"Yes, Your Highness. It is a great honor to meet His Highness." Amy pulled Da Qingshan, with a slight smile on her lips, and saluted Yi Su III as a knight.
"Haha, it's true that heroes emerge from youth." Yi Su III was obviously a very cheerful and approachable person: "What are your full names? We heard the dwarf Locke introduce this story to us. It was really thrilling, and thanks to you,
Otherwise, not only will we not be able to kill Yin Feng this time, but the Silver Snow Wolf Mercenary Group will lose an elite group forever."
"Your Highness, that is Senior Locke's love for the younger generation. It must not be true." At this moment, Amy was like a hereditary nobleman for many generations, interpreting all court etiquette perfectly: "My partner Halke
.Da Qingshan, I: Amy Haber."
"Oh, Amy Harper..." Yi Su III repeated the name twice, as if he remembered something, and a strange smile suddenly appeared at the corner of his mouth.
"Haber is a very old surname. This surname reminds me of a very interesting person." Yi Su III's weird smile became even thicker: "Speaking of which, Amy, this person may still be a member of your tribe.
Do you know a man named Lake Harper?"
Just as Yi Su III finished speaking, many Hami generals in armor began to whisper.
"Well..." Amy made a long nasal sound: "How should I put it? I probably don't know him, because when I met him, I was still a two-year-old child and had no impression at all, although he seemed to be my father.
"
"What?"
"What? Lake Harper's son?"
Most of the generals present showed uneasy expressions.
"Haha, your father is Lake Harper." Yi Su III was obviously very happy with this result: "Your father and a man named Chi Hanfeng are known as the 'Imperial Frontier Grindstones', did you know?"
'Empire Border Defense Millstone?' Amy shook her head: "Your Highness, my partner is Chi Hanfeng's apprentice, but..."
Before Amy finished speaking, there was a bang, a bang, a bang... Almost all the generals in the main hall pulled out their swords from their waists and glared at Amy and Daqingshan. However, the civil servants and nobles present actually behaved like this.
Like Yi Su III, he has a weird smile.
A hearty smile rang out in the hall again: "That's enough, do you want to scare the children?" Yi Su III waved his hand, preparing to calm the tense atmosphere at the scene.
"Your Highness, I demand a duel with both of them!"
"Your Highness, I demand a duel!"
"His Majesty……"
Daqingshan and Amy were obviously stunned by the sight in front of them.
"Okay..." Suppressing his smile, Yi Su III ignored the generals' dissatisfaction and began to tell a story to the two boys.
Yi Su III was a very wise monarch. During his reign, he always worked hard to improve domestic policies, put swords and guns in storage, and let wolves loose in the forest. He was unwilling to conflict with any country unless he had to.
However, in the 183rd year of the Red Moon Calendar, the Amy Empire once again launched an attack on the Xueyue Lake and Nuanshui River areas. Yi Su III did not panic much. According to the method passed down by his ancestors, he sent 20,000 troops along the Longya Mountain Highway.
The Snow Wolf Cavalry attacked the Empire's border guards and soon forced the Empire to completely withdraw its troops.
Yi Su III didn't know yet that it was at that time that Amy's father joined the Amy Empire Border Guard.
According to Yi Su III's original intention, he stopped fighting.
However, the generals under their command were unwilling to accept this reality. After five years of hard work, in the year 187 of the Red Lunar Calendar, some of the leading generals privately led a group of 3,000 wolf cavalry to attack the Imperial Border Guards.
At this time, the two captains of the Imperial Border Guard at that time were the Glacier Infantry Captain: Lake Haber; the Cavalry Captain: Han Feng Chi. The two friends who had just met soon joined forces to create a series of beautiful cooperation.
They used a valley to lure all the wolf cavalry and surrounded them all. The wolf cavalry only lasted for two days in the freezing cold before they all surrendered. They also tied up a few radical young nobles who insisted on going their own way and sent them away.
Gave it to Chi Hanfeng and Lake Harper as a meeting gift.
Chi Hanfeng and Lake Haber did not make it difficult for them. They sent someone to deliver a letter to Yi Su III. According to Chi Hanfeng's wishes, they asked for 4,000 large animal skins as welfare for the imperial soldiers, and then returned them.
The young nobleman of the kingdom.
These young nobles were mainly the descendants of one of the two famous families in the kingdom, and had inextricable connections with the royal family. Yi Su III let this matter go without any punishment.
However, several nobles regarded it as a great shame and humiliation, and tried to fight again at every morning meeting in the palace.
And half a year later, they privately sent out 5,000 Snow Wolf Cavalry again to make a surprise attack on the Imperial Border Guard Station. Unexpectedly, they fell into the trap again. The Imperial soldiers gave up the warm camp and covered the ground with rosin. The Snow Wolf Cavalry had just rushed in.
After setting up camp, they immediately surrounded them from the outside and used longbows to shoot at the gate of the camp.
It is said that at that time, a 25-year-old imperial nobleman with a malicious face rode a very tall snow wolf that only Hamis could ride. He shouted at the gate of the camp and told the snow wolf cavalry to come out and surrender, otherwise they would be immediately set on fire.
Roast a whole wolf and a whole person. What is even more intolerable is that he actually asked all the nobles to stand alone and hand over their family symbols.
According to the recollections of the person involved, the man who was later corrected as Chi Hanfeng at various hearings, when he said these words, he also emphasized one point: he must produce something that can fully prove his identity, so that he can
He asked for ransom from all the nobles in the kingdom. If the nobles could not pay the ransom, those with strong strength would be sent to the mines for mining, while those with small strength and fair face would be sold to some special service places in the empire to meet the needs of some perverted women.
The little ones with bad looks will be sold to continents other than the frozen continent to replenish the zoos of various kingdoms with new live specimens of Hami ornamental animals.
