Chapter 116 The 1st New Year in the Earldom

The last day of every year is the New Year's celebration on the mainland. Christine was newly promoted to an earl this year, and Stewart Territory became an earldom. Naturally, there was a big celebration.

When they get up in the morning, both nobles and commoners must wash up and put on their best clothes to go to the temple to pray to the gods. Although Christine now owns the two cities of Dominaria and Rennes, she still chose to go to Dragon Claw. Go to the first Dragon God Temple in this territory to pray.

Due to the development of the territory, the scale of Longzhao Town has expanded a lot, and the temple has naturally been expanded. On the basis of maintaining the original historical buildings, it is no worse than the city-level grand temple in terms of floor area and other functional buildings.

Although the person who presided over the prayer ceremony was the tenth-level bishop Jacques Monte who came from Dominaria, the sixth-level priest Clement who followed him was the one with the brightest smile in the audience.

He is the presiding priest of the temple in Dragon Claw Town. After Christine became the earl, he began to carry out major construction projects to repair the castle and the town, and also expanded the temple. Now he is in charge of a large temple as a priest, which is rare in the history of the church. He has even been promoted to one level because of this, which can be said to be a double blessing.

For this grand event, not only was the temple cleaned, but flowers were decorated on both sides of the carpet starting from the entrance. This was a huge investment in winter. The priests wore brand-new ceremonial robes and greeted every guest with smiles and kindness.

Led by Christine, including uncle Liam Stewart knight and interior officer Victor Duran, vassals, knights and officials who believed in the dragon god entered the hall under the guidance of Bishop Jacques Monte and the priest.

Now, including the fox sisters and cat girls, all believe in the Dragon God. After all, belief in orc gods is never allowed in the human world. If you convert, you will receive preferential treatment even if you become a slave. This makes it easier for Christine to publicly improve their treatment.

The fox sisters were rescued by Kristen, the cat girls were captured by the orc tribe as slaves, and they were converted to dragon gods instead of human gods, so there was basically no resistance.

After the bell rang, the children in the choir sang a psalm in praise of the great Dragon God accompanied by musicians. Under the guidance of Bishop Jacques Monte, Christine led everyone to complete a simple but grand prayer ceremony.

After the ceremony, the attendants brought in a small box and opened it to reveal the shining gold coins inside.

Christine pointed to the box and said: "Bishop Jacques, these one thousand gold coins are my dedication to the great Dragon God."

"My lord, your piety touches me."

Bishop Jacques Monte's words came from his heart. The Stewart Territory has changed from a barony to a countdom. Its land area and population have increased several times. This is a place where the great Dragon God can spread his faith in the future. How can he not be allowed to do so? Happy. For priests, whoever can bring glory to God is the most devout believer, not to mention that Christine has invested in the expansion of the temple in Longzhao Town.

You must know that one gold coin is equal to one hundred silver coins, one silver coin is equal to one hundred copper coins, and one copper coin is equal to the purchasing power of one yuan today. One thousand gold coins is a huge sum of money.

Following Christine, others also donated one by one according to their status. Although it was impossible to be so generous, because they were all nobles and officials, they were all gold coins, which added up to a considerable amount.

Of course, this time it was because he had just been promoted to earl, so it was a special case, and there would not be so many in the future.

When Christine and others left the temple, they saw the townspeople lining up to pray. They were all glowing, healthy, and neatly dressed, which showed that their living conditions were quite good. The priests also received every believer kindly.

When walking through the town to the castle, Christine saw clowns and minstrels performing at the intersection of the commercial street, and a circus setting up a tent on the green space of the town.

The happiest ones were the children. They were wearing new clothes and happily running around in the crowd watching the excitement.

Naturally, a banquet will be held at noon to entertain all the vassals and territorial officials. At the same time, as long as they live in Stewart Territory, gentlemen and ladies with noble status can also participate.

You must know that most of the nobles in the entire county of Brittany live in Rennes City, which now belongs to the Stuart Territory, so there were more than 200 guests with noble titles at this banquet, not counting their family members.

But it doesn't matter. Castle Stewart is big enough and has several halls that can be used as banquet halls. It's not a problem at all.

The four bard apprentices who were playing the piano during the banquet were trained by the territory. Different from those who were born in the wild and claimed to be bards, they were trained by professional bards from the Church of the Elf God, so they gained the honor of being present. Nobles unanimous praise.

The finale is after the banquet, everyone is invited to watch an opera performed by the Elf Troupe.

Although the performance was only performed by the least famous troupe among the elves, based on the lifespan of the elves, the level of an opera that has been performed for a hundred years has exceeded 90% of the human troupes in the mainland. Besides, watching the elf troupe perform is a treat that kings and nobles only get on major festivals. This is enough to keep the guests present all year long.

Youdao is the best in literature and the second in martial arts. There are now more than 30 knights in Stewart's lord. Taking advantage of the opportunity of gathering in the New Year, they naturally want to compete with each other and show their superb skills to the lord and guests. Martial arts.

The banquet in the evening is the most important. It is the most advanced among all celebrations in terms of scale and richness.

In addition to the cattle, pigs, deer, chicken, fish and other ingredients that are indispensable for noble banquets, because they have their own magic tower teleportation circle, specialties from the Principality of Wende, the Kingdom of the Rhine, and the Kingdom of Habsburg are also was put on the table. As for the wine from the elves, it is no longer surprising that it is a regular drink at Earl Stewart's banquet.

After the banquet, it was customary for the lord to distribute rewards to vassals, officials, and all those who served her.

Tea, wine, etc. are given to noble gentlemen, while silk, sugar, cosmetics, etc. are given to noble ladies and ladies. They are all high-end and elegant items. The most attractive thing is that Christine gave each knight a +1 long sword. This is a magic weapon made of rare metals such as fine gold, and can be used as a family heirloom.

Because it is the first New Year after becoming an earldom, various activities will last for half a month, including those held by churches and held by villages and towns themselves. The nobles will hold banquets in order of their title.
