Reborn Dragon Vein Warlock, Genius Beauty Mage

Chapter 222 The first New Year after the demonic disaster (1)

The last day of every year is the New Year celebration on the mainland. In the morning, both nobles and commoners must wash up and put on their best clothes to go to the temple to pray to God. Major churches will also hold different celebration ceremonies according to the priesthood of the true God they believe in. .

Affected by the evil disaster this year, it is obvious that people's living standards have been greatly reduced. The nobles who went to the temple to pray were in better condition, but the clothing and mental state of the people were much worse, and the scale of church celebrations was also reduced a lot.

In some villages and towns that were recaptured from demons, the temples were renovated, and many of them only had one hall, which looked very shabby. As for the donations from believers, they are of symbolic significance. After all, many people do not have enough to eat.

However, this does not include Stewart collar and Carona collar.

At nine o'clock in the morning, Christine brought the nobles, knights, and officials who believed in the Dragon God to the temple in Dragon Claw Town. Cardinal Trani Clark has already led Bishop Jacques Monte, Clement Tap and other priests waiting at the door. She came to Dragon Claw Town from the church headquarters to preside over the ceremony in order to show the church's commitment to the church. Earl Stewart's attention.

The religious area of ​​the Dragon God Church on the mainland, including the original Barony of Stewart, was only three and a half earldoms in total. Unexpectedly, within a few years of inheriting the title, Christine owned land in one county after another.

Especially those villages and towns that were conquered by demons. After they were captured, they directly rebuilt the temple of the great Dragon God. The other True God churches had nothing to say. This suddenly expanded the Dragon God's belief area on the mainland by another third. .

Besides, Christine has the potential to attack the Duke. The Dragon God Church cannot attach too much importance to it. If there were no corresponding regulations, the Pope would even want to come in person.

However, as an apology for not being able to be there, the Pope asked Cardinal Trani Clark to bring a gift to Earl Stewart. This is a legendary item. Everyone is a dragon blood descendant and knows what to give as a sincere gift.

Since the territory was not affected by the disaster, various villages and towns still held celebrations as before, attracting minstrels and circus troupes from several surrounding counties. There are only a few aristocratic territories with the spending power, and the Stewart Territory is the first choice in the west of the kingdom.

At noon, the lord held a banquet to entertain the nobles and territorial officials as usual, and then there were various celebrations throughout the afternoon, including dances, horse racing, martial arts competitions, etc.

This year was different from the past. After the noon banquet, Christine held the canonization ceremony of the new noble.

The first person to be ennobled was his uncle Liam Stewart. Ever since Christine inherited the title, Uncle Liam has been adhering to the spirit of chivalry to assist her. The few times she had to leave the territory, she was managed by her uncle, so now she naturally has to give her a reward.

Uncle Liam was canonized as a lord, and a new village was awarded as a fief. Among nobles who put family honor first, nepotism is a normal thing, but it is a pity that there are not many descendants of dragon blood.

The second person to be awarded the title was Savannah. She had previously obtained the title of Lord and the fiefdoms of two villages due to her military exploits. After the outbreak of the demonic disaster, she not only killed a dark elf master, but also killed many great demons. , so two new village fiefs were acquired today.

Naturally, these two new villages built temples to the great elf goddess, and the believers were some half-elf refugees who moved from the Viscount of Cantabria.

The price Elf Island paid for this was that all the maintenance costs of Stewart's fleet were borne by them.

Then there are Olivia Magna, Ramos Aiken, and Ronnie Ste. Thanks to the superior learning conditions and practical training against demons, the three of them were finally promoted to the fifth level and were awarded Lordships today. a title and a village fief.

Olivia's fiefdom is near the capital city of France, adjacent to the manor where her parents live. It was just a matter of a village, and Kristine exchanged 500 demon-slaying points from the king for it. At her current position, the king would not refute her face for such a trivial matter.

Uncle Babs and Aunt Leia, who came to watch the ceremony, were so excited that they had tears in their eyes. Their daughter finally became successful. Not only was she a fifth-level mage, she was also granted the title of Lord of the Realm. The Magna family has been on the rise ever since. A step.

It is no exaggeration at all. A hereditary honorary earl with only one manor to his name is really not as good as a field lord with a village to his name. In the final analysis, nobility still depends on strength. Just having a high title has no effect except that it allows the other party to salute first.

Next comes the canonization of knights.

Commander Jerome Townsend of the Navy, Captain Horatio Nelson of the Tulip, Captain Hull Race of the Repulse, and Captain Kelsey Max of the Reputation. The first three were all retinues, and now they have been awarded the title of meritorious knight and received a village as a fief (the original manor is still retained). The latter was originally a meritorious knight, and was given a new fief of a village.

They led the fleet and the Elven Expeditionary Fleet to kill many sea-crossing demons, earning Christine a large number of demon-slaying points. It is natural for them to be knighted for their merits.

In addition, there are five knight attendants who realized fighting spirit in the battle against demons and were successfully promoted to fifth-level knights. They were also canonized here, bringing the number of physics professionals above fifth level in the territory to thirty-seven.

Finally, there are rewards for other meritorious people, such as the hereditary honorary Lord Victor Duran who is in charge of the internal affairs of the Stewart Territory, Lord Etienne Mercier who is in charge of the internal affairs of the Carona Territory, and Pierre Rowe who is in charge of the territorial diplomacy. Lord Grand, Harland Coy, head of the Tulip Chamber of Commerce, and others.

According to the rules of the nobility, those who do not have military merit and whose professional level has not reached the fifth level cannot be canonized as knights, and they cannot be given land, so they can only be given monetary rewards.

Of course, Harland Coy was originally a retinue and could confer the title of hereditary Lord of Honor.

Finally, there is the dinner, which is the highest level among all celebrations in the year in terms of scale and richness. Although the supply of some luxuries was cut off due to the demonic disaster, the special products from Elf Island filled these gaps, earning high praise from the guests. The food at the king's banquet was of this standard.

Because of the demonic disaster this year, the noble officials and knights serving in the territory were very hard-working, so Christine gave each person an extra bottle of wine from Porto based on their status in addition to the original reward.

The lowest market price of these wines is ten gold coins a bottle, and the high-end ones cost hundreds or even hundreds of gold coins. As for the cost Christine paid, it doesn't matter.
