Heaven’s Intention

May 20, 1749, the year of the Holy Yuan. In early summer, the weather is fine. Mainland Esk Kingdom, Tertashaw Territory.

The Blue Castle of Baron Romond is holding a solemn surrender ceremony.

Romon is wearing a gorgeous robe that symbolizes the status of a baron. On the hem of his clothes, there are very obvious seven lines, which are the symbol of a seventh-level druid.

On his head, he wore the tiara that barons and nobles needed to wear on important occasions. It was a very thin and small one, which was very different from the diadem, like a small shining halo.

The crown is made of gold, which shines brightly in the sun, and the circle of the crown is inlaid with that kind of very rare transparent diamonds, which complement the golden crown body, making it look magnificent.

On Luo Meng's face at this time, there was an extremely solemn and sacred expression.

In front of him, there were five men in shining armor. No matter their age or age, they all had solemn faces, and they all stood tall and straight in front of him—it was Fafer, Sukar, Haiwawei, Shabid, and Warwick five people.

And Farfer, although he is a lord, still accepts another territory as a knight. To determine the relationship between vassals and vassals.

They are now in the large conference room in the Blue Castle. At this time, the tables and chairs inside have been moved aside, and hundreds of warriors are standing in the open space, witnessing the ceremony of conferring knights collectively.

And beside them, in the corner, stood two men wearing priest robes, one was a bit short and fat, the other was a bit thin and tall. Although their appearances were very ordinary, they had a serious and very The solemn temperament constantly exudes from them.

The priest's robes they wore were red and dazzling like fire. On the hem of the robe, there is a very strange pattern similar to the contrast between swords and leaves.

The two priests held the symbolic ordinances in their hands, but they didn't look up at all, but watched Baron Romon's every move seriously.

Let's get started. A pastor said, looking at the sky outside.

Then, another priest walked up to Romon and muttered something in a low voice.

Understood! Knowing that the time was up, Romon nodded to the priest, and then waved his hand.

Suddenly, at the corner door, several maids in white robes came in. Each of them held a clean tray in their hands. There is one thing in each.

The five maids stood in front of the five men in table armor one by one, and they heard Romon ask: I am asking you in the name of God, Fafeier, Sukar, Haiwawi, Shabid , Warwick, are you willing to become my people without reservation? Be my knight, and you will never betray in your life?

I am willing. The five answered in unison.

Then, Fafer, Sukar, Haiwawi, Shabid, and Warwick hugged and kissed Romon in turn.

The baron's face-to-face etiquette kiss is a way for subordinates to express his respect and trust.

Likewise, this ritual between these subordinates and the baron shows their allegiance.

After embracing, the five vassals took an oath to the baron: I swear by my integrity and personality, from now on, I will be loyal to Baron Romond, fulfill all my obligations as a knighted knight, and never cheat.

While saying these words, they each took an object from the tray of the maid in front of them as a proof of oath.

In the end, Romon picked up a small sword and a piece of soil from the plate in turn, symbolizing chivalry and fiefdom. Awarded to these enshrined knights.

At the same time, the two priests who had been standing beside them began to read some spells and ordinances.

It was nothing more than what some knights should abide by. It turned out that these two men were priests of the God of Order.

They were invited by Romon to come here to participate in this collective canonization of knights. Although these priests of the God of Order don't usually have too many believers, once they encounter such a thing as canonization, they are rare. They must not.

After the reading by the priest of the god of order, the ceremony ends.

After the knight canonization, there will be twenty entourages, all of whom are fourth-level fighters. They will also be granted a fief of about a hundred acres, and will be given a set of leather armor and a long sword.

Retinues often appear as squires of knights.

In addition to military service, retinues are often sent to perform specific tasks, receive and deliver money, deliver specific oral or written messages, and may also serve as daily followers of their lord or friends of the lord.

To put it simply, they are the regular army, that is, soldiers who are completely out of production, and the lord basically gives them better treatment.

When everything was finished, Romon was secretly proud of the envious expressions of the soldiers who had watched the ceremony.

Romon, the banquet hall is ready, will the banquet be held on time? Nick, who was wearing a light blue robe, came over at this time. Since he got married, it may be the nourishment of a happy marriage. There was always a sense of triumph in Nick's expression, and he no longer had the feeling that everyone owed him money.

Seeing that the time was almost up, Romon said, Of course, the banquet will be held on time tonight, and everyone who should be invited, have you posted invitations?

It's already been sent. Nick smiled: According to what you mentioned in advance, I only sent invitations to the stewards and seniors in our territory. After all, this is an internal matter of our territory.

Very good. Romon nodded in satisfaction, and then, suddenly remembered something, asked, Has Scholar Lulun returned?

Just a few days ago, Scholar Lulun suddenly left the territory and went to Aps City to meet an old friend. I don't know if he is back now.

Oh, I heard that I will be back today, so I should be able to catch up with this banquet. Nick replied.

Romon wanted to say something else, but he heard the cheers coming from outside. It sounded like the five knights were riding out on horseback. Those who cheered were all fighters who had a very good relationship with these five people.

Romon also got a little excited, and said to Nick: Go and see.

En. Although Nick has a calmer personality, he also likes to watch some lively things, so he accompanied Romon to the outside of the meeting room, and then, following the voice, he came to the road to the castle.

I saw five knights riding tall horses, walking majestically outside. Surrounded by some watching fighters, all of them looked excited.

The gate of the castle was slowly pushed open, and the drawbridge was lowered. The knight rode his horse and headed outside.

Seeing these people heading towards Panshi Town mightily, the corners of Luo Meng's mouth slightly curled up.

It is conceivable that how many people will be envious of his canonization today, which is more inspiring to the soldiers than shouting empty slogans.

Ignoring the noise of how these people went to the scenery, Luo ** returned to the meeting room by himself and stayed alone for a while.

Soon, it's time for the banquet. The guests who came were all from Tetashaw, and under the bright lights, they were all sincere and familiar smiling faces.

Romon held the canonization ceremony and banquet mainly to appease the hearts of the people in the territory, so this banquet invited all the leading figures in the territory, including stewards, elders, and some followers.

The banquet is still held in the Blue Castle, and the hall is decorated with brilliant lights. A few months ago, this place was still a bloody demon gathering place, but now, after being purified by Alini and other priests, it has long been restored. Its usual grandeur.

The magic lamp illuminated the hall very brightly, and the sky above the entire hall shone with colorful lights. The clean long tables are arranged like long dragons, with all kinds of wine, drinks, snacks, dishes, and fruits placed on them, allowing people to taste and drink freely.

There is a slightly higher platform in front, which is very spacious. There are already some beautiful women dancing fascinating dances on it, and beside the stage, there are more than a dozen people playing with various musical instruments and playing hard. .

Romon led the five canonized knights and greeted the guests one by one.

People sent warm wishes to these five people one after another. People's blessings and respect, and even their envious eyes, made these five knights feel excited.

Master Romon. Just as Romon led them around. When he walked to the side to rest, someone suddenly called him, and when he looked back, he saw Lu Lun's smile.

When did Scholar Lulun come back? Hey, aren't you Sir Shaka? It's been a long time. Romon saw the man next to Lulun. He looked familiar, and suddenly remembered that it was not a small mining village. Are you coming to the royal family?

Then he said again: Greetings to you, descendant of the great Mektar and Max!

Baron Tattershaw, I haven't seen you for more than a year, and you have become a baron, and you are a seventh-level druid. It is really unimaginable! Sir Shaka extended a hand to express his friendliness. .

Although the other party's title is lower than his own, but as the representative of the royal family, Romon must not be rude. Romon said politely: Sir Shaka, your presence made my territory suddenly glow. If you don't mind, please go to the inner hall, where you can be received, it's too messy here.

Baron Tattershaw, I'm here this time to have a deep talk with you! Sir Shaka said, making a gesture, and a group of people went inside, and saw that they seemed to be talking about something, The guests who attended the banquet were very sensible and didn't bother me anymore.

Once inside, Sir Shaka said: You are only twenty years old now. You are such a great person. Can I have the honor to know and make friends like you?

Sir Shaka, it is my honor. Romon bowed and said.

At the same time, under the ingenious guidance of Lu Lun, the two people, who were still a little unfamiliar, slowly began to talk.

During the conversation with him, Romon vaguely guessed the meaning of the royal family. It turned out that the opponent had seen the potential of his side from some previous battles and wanted to win him over.

After all, Romon has too many advantages.

First of all, he is young. He is only twenty years old and has a bright future ahead.

The second is that he is already a level seven druid, but in the future, he must exceed level ten. This is already a professional that the royal family must respect.

Again, this young baron, with two baronies, definitely has the potential to be wooed.

... Baron Tattershaw, I heard that you have also obtained the right to inherit Rocas Land?

It should be said that the eldest son of Alini and I has obtained the inheritance right of Rocasland. Romon replied.

It's the same. In the next generation, your family will own two baronies. What's the area? Sir Shaka asked knowingly.

Sir Shaka, after deducting the unusable area, it is actually 200 square kilometers.

Oh my god, the viscount's requirement is 300 square kilometers. Your family is almost a viscount-level family. Sir Shaka's tone was a bit exaggerated, but Romon did hear envy. Suddenly, there was a flash of inspiration.

The viscount owns more than 300 square kilometers and can build a city, which proves that the family's local influence is already quite large, enough to influence the political situation in a region.

Of course, this is the limit of ordinary nobles. It is basically impossible for the Viscount to get further promotion. The Earl can control a county, and the Esk Kingdom itself has only seven counties.

Now, in this catastrophe, Viscount Eagle Edel's intentions are understood by everyone. He wants to be promoted to the earl, and he will fight against the Earl of Campling in Pakter County, and jointly control Pakett County.

And the appearance of a new earl will undoubtedly change the distribution of power in the kingdom, maybe...

Just when Romon was thinking about it, he said: ...Sir Shaka, I still have a lot of territory to reach the viscount, and besides, my military achievements are also not good enough.

Although it is said that the most important thing for a nobility to confer a title is the territory, but meritorious deeds in terms of status are still necessary.

... Baron Tattershaw, after deducting the unusable area, it is actually 200 square kilometers, but in fact your territory has exceeded 250... Lord Ion is only one step away, this gap is not a problem, Of course, merit is indeed a problem, if you can make more contributions to the kingdom, I don't think His Majesty the King will be stingy with the title of Viscount.

It turned out that this was the case, and Romon immediately understood that it meant that the king could confer the title of Viscount on Romon under appropriate circumstances.

Romon nodded with a smile, but did not immediately agree. He was meditating, and as he meditated, the natural force carried a slight coercion.

A kind of silence immediately made Sir Shaka a little uneasy. Feeling the indescribable but real power in the air, he suddenly understood that he hadn't seen him for two years. Man of Nature Spells!

Sir Shaka, I am Baron Tattershaw. I am naturally a loyal servant of His Majesty the King. As a nobleman of the kingdom, I am willing to obey His Majesty's orders.

For a moment, the young man spoke respectfully and humbly, but his expression and demeanor were unusually confident, expressing his position and attitude.

Sir Shaka, after listening, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. With Romon's promise, the royal family's plan will be much easier.

This is not only the interests of the royal family, but also his interests! (!)
