Chapter 305 -305: Learning Information About Baron Dakler’s Domain
“What if we don’t ride horses, like using the Transmission Platform? Knights can’t possibly avoid using the Transmission Platform, right?”
“Yes, the Transmission Platform can save half the time, but you first need to ride for four to five days to reach Marabene Military Fortress, which is the next level up from our Beigen Military Fortress.”
“Beigen Military Fortress? Named directly after Beigen Village?”
“Historically, Beigen Military Fortress came first, then Beigen Village was established. Actually, the civilians here are all descendants of the soldiers and their families who were stationed at the fortress in the past.”
“The fortress has been around for so long? The villagers of Beigen don’t even know what that fortress is called.”
“Yes, this fortress initially served as a border fortress, with that forest as the boundary. Later on, as the territory expanded, the forest became part of His Majesty’s lands, and the fortress fell out of mention. There were rumors that at one point the fortress collapsed, then one day craftsmen came to rebuild it, added a Transmission Platform, and it has been in use ever since.”
“Once you get to Marabene Military Fortress, do you know the way from there?”
“I’m sorry, I don’t know; I’ve only been as far as Dakler City.”
The butler recounted a piece of history, and Ye Nai quickly noted everything down, then changed the subject.
“Where is this Dakler City you just mentioned?”
“It’s at the double forked road outside of town, one road leads here, the other goes to Dakler City, within Baron Dakler’s Domain.”
“Baron and Viscount, which one…” Ye Nai gestured with her hands a few times, indicating the rank between the two titles.
“Viscount is higher. Baron is the lowest rank, and it’s hereditary. Knights are below that, appointed to individuals, inheritance is not permitted, even if the heir wishes to become a Knight, they must complete all the required steps. However, if one becomes an hereditary knight, then the heir can skip the previous steps and directly become a formal knight, continuing to earn merits on the battlefield, striving to maintain the family’s knightly title for the next generation.”
“Knight Dewell, does each generation need to participate in wars and accumulate enough military achievements to retain their knightly title?”
“Yes.”
“What if no one in the family fights anymore?”
“Naturally, the respected His Majesty would reclaim the Knight’s Domain.”
Ye Nai nodded subtly while recording, which aligned with what the townspeople and villagers had mentioned: a Knight’s Family, having no more men, would lose the Knight’s Domain.”
“Without the Knight’s Domain, what happens to the wives and children?”
“They can take their possessions. Either buy land and become landlords or hope for a good marriage for the daughter, relying on her thereafter.”
“And for you?”
“We servants must find a new master.”
“Can a Knight be promoted to Baron?”
“Yes, but it’s quite difficult. Many generations of my lords have wanted to become Barons, but never succeeded.”
“That difficult?”
“Very difficult.”
“Is Viscount Shenbeige that Knight Old Lord was under related to your family?”
“He was his commander on the battlefield.”
“Could he help him become a Baron?”
“We’re still trying.”
“All right, it seems you don’t know much about this.”
“I apologize.”
“It’s okay, let’s change the subject. After the fortress incident, what was the reaction here?”
“Our young master wrote to the superiors, but we don’t know how long it will take for a response.”
“Why?”
“The transmission platform is gone, we have to go to Marabene Military Fortress to send messages, and it’s very time-consuming.”
“So…” Ye Nai couldn’t help but daydream.
“Yes, the person who sent the letter might still be on the way.” The steward indeed lived up to his name, precisely guessing Ye Nai’s thoughts in that moment.
“That’s not right, thirty transmission platforms are gone, others can’t use them either. Wouldn’t they check if the communication is cut off?”
“They would check, of course, each transmission platform is the esteemed Emperor’s property, operated by the military, but since the platforms are gone and communication is cut off, they have to send someone over, and the person we sent to deliver the message might not have reached the Royal Capital yet.”
“Must you send the message yourselves, can’t it be relayed by someone else? Can’t that Baron help?”
“No, he got his knight status on the battlefield, traded with military merits, at a ceremony in the Royal Palace of the Royal Capital, personally presided over by the respected Emperor. He is the Emperor’s knight, Only then can he guard a place with a Military Fortress, the special privilege he got is that in any abnormal situation he can send messages directly to the military, other hands cannot be used. We have no subordinate relation with Baron’s Domain, relying on Baron to send the message, if anything goes wrong midway, it would be our lord who suffers.”
“To get to that higher-level military fortress, do we have to go through the Baron’s Domain?”
“Yes, we have to leave Baron’s Domain and enter another noble’s territory.”
“It’s been more than ten days already, the messenger hasn’t returned, and the people who should be investigating haven’t arrived either. Have the Old Lady and the heir at home said anything?”
“No, we have been waiting.”
Ye Nai thought she had heard incorrectly, this inefficiency was terrible, a very important transmission platform lost, and half a month later still no sight of investigators.
Could it be that the thirty transmission platforms in Beigen Village are not important?
That can’t be right either. She had taken the two-way transmission platform on Blue Star; the opened portal was right outside the forest of Beigen Military Fortress.
This proves that the pathway is correct.
Could it still be related to her taking several transmission platforms in the secret realms on Blue Star?
Ye Nai thought about it and then dismissed this thought, what does their native efficiency matter to her? All she needed to know was that taking all the transmission platforms indeed caused them trouble.
Without the transmission platforms, their access to Blue Star was cut off, keeping the inter-realm pathway in her sole control, eh heh, who else but her could be called the world’s richest?
Thinking of her bright future, a slight smile appeared on Ye Nai’s face.
“With no transmission platform, transportation is so difficult, can I praise how vast our territory is?”
“Thank you, our territory is indeed vast.” The steward’s face showed pride when talking about the size of the nation.
“From here to that Baron City, how long would it take by horse?”
“Riding would take one daytime, leave in the morning, arrive by afternoon.”
“Good, are all the men at home?”
“Yes, they are all in the great hall.”
“Good, I’m taking them with me.”
“…Ah?!”

“Don’t forget, I am here for revenge, I will take all the inventory in your storeroom, but I will leave the things in this house for you. You better find a new master soon, this place is over.”
As soon as Ye Nai finished speaking, the male steward collapsed to the ground, having fainted.
Then, Ye Nai began raiding the house.
First, she moved everything from this library; she had specifically opened a fungus compartment in the Space to store these books.
Then, she plundered valuable items from the house, gold and silver jewelry, and items that looked like antiques, emblems of Knighthood, family crests, and territorial banners were also taken.
As Ye Nai collected the items, she pondered how kind she was, even thinking of preserving their cultural treasures for future display in a museum, charging the natives’ admission.
She left the kitchen items and the beautiful clothes in the bedrooms; handling those would be too troublesome to exchange for money, so she left them for the servants.
