Chapter 342 In a Room Where the Setting Sun Could not Be Seen

In this game continent, the title of the country's aristocrats, from low to high, were: baron, viscount, count, marquis, and duke.

In a word, Tom's count title was equivalent to a mayor of the Blue Star in his previous life. In his jurisdiction, there were many viscounts similar to the county magistrate and more barons similar to the town mayor.

But different from the Blue Star, whether he was viscount or baron, he had absolute control over their territory. They had the right to decide the life and death of lower-class citizens. The price they had to pay was only a certain amount of tax to their superior and nobility regularly.

More importantly, 99% of this kind of "local tyrant" had been obtained through the hereditary system, since his father passed the title to his eldest son.

This meant that they would be aristocrats for generations.

As for the pariahs, they had almost no chance to turn the tables.
