European Emperor Cultivation System

Chapter 59 Allegiance Ceremony
Taking advantage of the break in the meeting, Li Peijun was afraid that the meeting would be awkward later, so he moved some of his unused skill points and added LV1 Foreign Language, LV1 Diplomacy, LV1 Geography, and upgraded Etiquette to the full level, which was considered sufficient. preparation work.

"Catherine, please go to your residence and wait until our meeting is over."

Li Peijun stroked Catherine's beautiful hair in order to persuade this lively guy not to cause trouble for him later. Fortunately, she didn't resist this time and agreed directly.

Father Marcel has been waiting for this for a long time. At the same time, he brought some maids. Most of them also live in the monastery, but they don’t live in the same house as the nobles. On the one hand, the house is too crowded. Many people, on the other hand, probably the former lord did not want the humble bottom people to disturb his dialogue with God.

The residences of the maids are in the corner of the monastery. Some of them are still nuns. When they are trained as priests, they will take a part-time job at the lord's house to earn extra money. Naturally, the pious lords of the past would not dare to do this. What a wild idea.

"Very well, Father Marcel, you have worked hard today, let them go with Miss Catherine, and everything will follow her arrangements." Li Peijun is very satisfied with this competent priest, but it seems that the other party may want to get something from him. Getting any benefits or privileges, Li Peijun restrained his smile a little.

"You all follow this lady." Marcel gestured, and the maids followed Catherine one after another.

"Aren't they here yet?" After all the people left, only the four people from Li Peijun's side and Father Marcel were left.

"It should be soon. Please wait a moment. I'll prepare some fruit for you." Marcel apologized and left for a while.

There is an independent conference room built into the monastery, which should have been built separately by the secular nobles in the past. It is located behind the main building of the monastery. Li Peijun is seated at the moment as the chief seat, naturally facing the main entrance, and the three Bernards are Sitting next to Li Peijun, there is no major flaw in etiquette.

Father Marcel brought up a plate of fresh grapes. Looking at this fat priest, Li Peijun felt that the life in the monastery should be prosperous.

"Lord, they are here." The nun who led the way greeted first, and after Li Peijun spoke, she gestured for everyone to enter.

The three noble representatives basically arrived at the venue at the same time. Although they had never met, Li Peijun also judged the identities of the three of them based on their preliminary understanding and clothing.

The one on the left wearing traditional aristocratic costumes should be Harfleur's largest local snake, the Oster family. Looking at this somewhat bloated figure, it should be the old master himself.

The one in the middle, who is not so tight-fitting, looks more like the clothes of handicraftsmen in the city, but the different styles and fabrics show his noble status, and his face is not much different from Paissant's age. , should be the powerful eldest son in the family as Possant said.

The one on the right just had a brief glance. After all, the first two had already confirmed their identities, and the last one was naturally identified. The representative of the Kach family, known as the wandering nobles, was also an old man.

"Your Excellency Oster, Passan, and Kaqi, I am very glad to meet with you again. I am the newly appointed lord, Viscount Bruno."

Li Peijun planned to strike first, and got up enthusiastically to greet the three nobles one by one in turn. The three Bernards also stood up and bowed in a panic, but the three nobles were still surprised, how the newly appointed lord knew him so quickly.

"Thank you Lord Lord for your trouble." The three nobles were also polite and took their seats step by step.

There were quite a few family soldiers accompanying them, Oster and Kaqi both brought six or seven servants with swords, but the eldest son of the Passant family was accompanied by many merchant-like servants.

"Before swearing allegiance, I want to discuss one thing with you." Li Peijun took his time to grasp the rhythm of the audience.

"What do you think about a noble speaking rudely to his lord in a fief?" Li Peijun asked a question first.

"That's a rebellious thing. As the ruler of the territory, he naturally has supreme power over everything in the territory." Oster replied first, and the other two nobles also agreed.

"Very good, if something like this happens, how should we deal with it." Li Peijun saw that Oster, who was the first to express his position, was exactly what he wanted to see, and continued to ask.

"Of course there will be heavy fines and heavy fines." The businessman's instinct made Posang blurt out.

"No, this kind of noble should be severely punished to serve as a warning to others." The two traditional nobles unanimously gave the same opinion.

Li Peijun was about to clap his hands with joy in his heart. These guys had been led into the trap he had dug before they knew it. Even if the truth was revealed, he would still be on the right side.

"Very well, you are all loyal people, I am very pleased." Li Peijun hid his smile, pretended to be serious and politely.

"Where, it is our great honor to serve the lord lord." Oster, the biggest local snake, was the first to show his loyalty, and the other two were also afraid of being left behind, and expressed their support again and again.

"Actually, I want to tell you something." Li Peijun paused deliberately to ease the atmosphere.

Suddenly an attendant slipped in from the door, crawled to Oster's side, whispered something, looking at Oster's face gradually gloomy, Li Peijun guessed that the old master already knew the identity of his eldest son. information.

During the interval, Li Peijun began to think about whether to buy people's hearts with a soft policy or directly suppress dissatisfaction with iron and blood, and kept rubbing his fingertips back and forth on the table.

"Forget it, I'm not Qiong Yao, I can't say that kind of lingering and provocative words, and I can't learn the foolish rhetoric of politicians."

Li Peijun gave up the policy of being gentle, and readjusted his sitting posture, trying to show himself the majesty that a lord should have.

"Your Excellency Oster, I regret to tell you that the eldest son of your family has been executed on the spot for violating the code of chivalry, instigating knights in his hands to leapfrog duels, committing crimes against superiors, provoking and attempting to murder the lord."

Li Peijun spoke resoundingly, giving Oster another blow to the head, who was suffering from the loss of his son.

"Impossible, Oster has been abiding by etiquette since he was a child, but he has a domineering personality, but he only likes to tease women and will not rashly contradict the lord." The old master was a little lost, but kept shaking his head in defense. .

"By the way, there is one more thing about this, Oster tried to openly rape the wife of the Lord." Li Peijun added.

"Wife?" The question came from Li Peijun's seat.

"Why is that Bruno guy progressing so fast?"

Cohen elbowed Tidel in the audience, but Tidel slapped him back. Bernard also gave him a warning look, so Cohen had no choice but to give up.

Oster was completely speechless now, and just sat there slumped. Li Peijun saw that this posture was almost gone, and he stopped as soon as he saw fit.

"Everyone, I also hope that everyone can cooperate sincerely in the future to jointly build Hafleur."

The three nobles signed their names on the affidavit that had been drafted long ago. Oster struggled to hold the pen with trembling hands, but he completed the signature with the help of his servants.

Li Peijun hugged the three nobles skillfully in turn according to the procedure, and used the branches folded in advance to symbolize the fief to each other.

"Mr. Oster, everything will be fine." Li Peijun patted the old boss on the back and comforted him.

After seeing off the nobleman, Li Peijun finally breathed a sigh of relief, sat on the chair naturally, and put his feet on the table.

"As long as my respected lord can treat and judge my people fairly according to the law, and he can take back everything he needs from me without using violence, I will serve my lord loyally and never break my promise. Otherwise you will be despised by God.”

Li Peijun looked at one of the paragraphs in the affidavit and couldn't help but laugh heartily.

　Medieval nobles singled out duels. Knowing the status of both parties, the upper-level nobles can send representatives to participate. They don’t have to fight duels themselves, and they can also refuse the duel request of the lower-level nobles.
