Chapter 322 Canonization (Part 2)
Chapter 322: Enthronement (Part 2)
On May 20, 7491, the weather was sunny in early summer. The Kingdom of Esk in the mainland was Tetashaul.
Baron Romon's Blue Castle is holding a solemn and serious surrender ceremony.
Romon was wearing a gorgeous robe that symbolized the identity of the baron. At the hem of his clothes, there were very obvious seven patterns, which were the symbol of the seventh level druid.
On his head, he carried the crown that the baron nobles needed to wear on important occasions. It was a very thin and small one, which was very different from the crown, like a small circle of shining halo.
The head crown is made of gold and shines in the sun. The circle of the head crown is inlaid with rare transparent diamonds, which sets off the golden crown body and looks magnificent.
Romon's face at this time was extremely solemn and sacred.
In front of him were five men in shiny armor. No matter their age, they were all solemn and stood in front of him with upright bodies - they were Faffel, Sukar, Haiwave, Shabid and Wavik.
Although Fafer, although he was a lord, he still accepted another piece of territory as a knight to determine the relationship between the vassals.
Their current location is the large conference room in Blue Castle. At this time, the tables and chairs inside have been withdrawn to the side, and hundreds of soldiers are standing in the open space, witnessing the ceremony of collectively enthroning the knights.
Next to them, in the corner, two men in priest robes stood, one of whom was a little short and one of whom was a little tall and thin. Although they looked very ordinary, they had a very serious and solemn temperament that kept emanating from them.
The priest robe they wore was red and dazzling like fire. The robe of the robe had a strange pattern similar to the sword and leaves that set off each other.
The two priests held the symbolic rules in their hands, but their eyes did not look up at all, but looked at Baron Romon's every move.
"Let's start." A pastor looked at the sky outside and said.
So another priest walked to Romon and muttered a few words.
"I understand!" Romon nodded at the priest when he knew the time was up, and then waved his hand.
Suddenly, at the corner gate, several maids wearing white robes walked in. Each of them held a clean tray in their hands, and each had something in it.
Five maids stood in front of the five men in armor in turn, and then Romon asked, "I will ask you in the name of God, Fafer, Sukar, Hewave, Shabid, Vavik, are you willing to become my people without reservation? Become my knights and will never betray you in your life?"
"I do." The five people answered in unison.
Then, Fafeer, Sukal, Haiwavi, Shabid and Wavik hugged and kissed Romon in turn.
The Baron's veneer and etiquette kiss is a way to express his respect and trust for his subordinates.
Similarly, the ritual of these subordinates and the barons shows their allegiance.
After the embrace, the five vassals swore to the baron: "I swear by my integrity and character that from now on I will be loyal to Baron Romon and fulfill all my obligations as a knight, and will never deceive."
When they said these words, they each took an object from the tray of the maids in front of them as a certificate of oath.
Finally, Romon picked up a small sword and a piece of soil from the plate in turn, symbolizing the spirit of the chivalrous spirit and fiefs, and granted them to these enfeoffed knights.
At the same time, the two priests who had been standing next to them began to read some spells and rules.
It was nothing more than what some knights should follow. It turned out that these two men were the priests of the God of Order.
They were invited by Romon to come here to participate in this collective canonization of the knights. Although these priests of the God of Order do not have too many believers in normal times, once they encounter such canonization, they are not allowed to do so.
After the reading of the Pastor of the God of Order, the ceremony ended.
After the knights were enthroned, they were enthroned by twenty entourages, all of whom were level 4 warriors. They would also be granted a fief of about a hundred acres and obtained a set of leather armor and a long sword.
The entourage often appears as the attendant of the knight.
In addition to serving in the military, entourages are often dispatched to perform specific tasks, receive and deliver money and goods, and transmit specific verbal or written messages, and may also serve as daily followers of their lords or their lords' friends.
Simply put, they are regular soldiers, completely full-time soldiers, and the lords basically give them better treatment.
When everything was finished, Romon felt secretly proud as he watched the warriors who had watched the ceremony showed envious expressions.
"Romon, the banquet hall is ready. Is the banquet held on time?" Nick, wearing a light blue robe, walked over at this time. Since he got married, it may be the nourishment of a happy marriage. Nick's expression always had a feeling of pride, and there was no more feeling that no one owed him money.
Seeing that the time was almost over, Romon said, "Of course, the banquet will be held on time in the evening. You have posted any invitations for those who should be invited, right?"
"It's been sent." Nick smiled and said, "As you mentioned in advance, I just sent invitations to the managers and the elderly in our territory. After all, this is a matter within our territory."
"Very good." Romon nodded with satisfaction, and then suddenly remembered something and asked, "Is the scholar Lulun back?"
Just a few days ago, the 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 and I should be able to catch up with this banquet." Nick replied.
What else did Romon want to say? He heard the cheers from outside, which were coming from outside. It sounded like the five knights were riding their horses, and the cheers were all soldiers with very good relationships with these five people.
Romon also rose a little and said to Nick: "Go and have a look."
"Yeah." Although Nick had a calm personality, he also liked to watch some lively things, so he accompanied Romon to the outside of the conference room, and then followed the sound and came to the way to the castle.
Five knights were riding tall horses, walking majestic outside. There were some soldiers watching the fun around them, all of whom looked excited.
The gate of the castle was slowly pushed open, the suspension bridge was put down, and the knight rode his horse and walked outside.
Seeing these people heading towards Panshi Town, Romon's mouth gently curled up.
It can be imagined that his enthronement today will make many people envious, which will be more inspiring to the soldiers than shouting empty slogans.
Ignoring how these people were hustle and bustle, Romon returned to the conference room alone and stayed alone for a while.
Soon, the time for the banquet came. The guests were all from Tetashaong, and under the clear lights, they were all sincere and familiar smiling faces.
Romon held a throne ceremony and a banquet, mainly to appease the people in the territory. Therefore, the banquet invited all the leading figures in the territory, including managers, elders, and some entourages.
The banquet was still held in Blue Castle, and the hall was decorated with brilliant lights. A few months ago, it was a place for the devil's dinner, but now, after the purification of the pastors such as Elini, the place has long returned to its usual magnificence.
The magic lamp shines on the hall very brightly, and colorful lights are shining over the entire hall. Long tables that are cleanly arranged like long dragons, with various wines, 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 intoxicating dances on it. Next to the stage, there are more than a dozen people fiddling with various instruments and playing hard.
Romon led the five canonized knights and greeted the guests one by one.
People sent warm blessings to these five people, and their blessings and respect, and even their envious gaze made the five knights excited.
"Master Romon." Just as Romon took them around and walked aside to rest, someone suddenly called him and looked back and saw Lu Lun's smile on his face.
"When did the scholar Lulun come back? Oh, aren't you Sir Shaka? It's been a long time since we've seen this man next to Lulun, and suddenly remembered that wasn't that royal jazz I met in a small mine village?
Then he said again: "Salute to you, descendants of the great Mekta and Math!"
"Baron Tatshaw, you have become a baron after not seeing each other for more than a year, and you are a seventh-level druid. It's really unimaginable!" Sir Shaka was a young man, stretched out a hand to show his friendship.
Although the other party's title is lower than that of himself, Romon must not be rude to the royal representative status. Romon said politely: "Sir Shaka, your visit has made my territory shine. If you don't mind, please go to the inner hall so that you can receive you. It's too chaotic here."
"Baron Tatshaw, I'm here this time to have a deep conversation with you!" Sir Shaka said, making a gesture, and the group went inside. Seeing that they seemed to be talking about something, the guests at the banquet were very sensible and no longer coming to disturb them.
When I got inside, Sir Shaka said, "You are only twenty years old now. You are such a great person. Can I have this honor to meet and make friends like you?"
"Sir Shaka, this is my honor," Romon said with a bow.
At the same time, under the clever guidance of Lu Lun, two people who were originally somewhat unfamiliar slowly began to talk.
During his conversation with him, Romon vaguely guessed the meaning of the royal family. It turned out that the other party saw his potential 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.
Secondly, he is already a level seven druid, but in the future, he will definitely surpass level ten. This is already a professional that the royal family must respect.
Again, this young baron, with two baron ties, definitely has the potential to be won over.
"…Baron Tatshaw, I heard that you also obtained the inheritance rights of Rocas?"
"It should be said that it was Elini's eldest son and I who obtained the inheritance of Rocas." Romon replied.
"The same is true. For the next generation, your family will have two baron collars. How much is 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 the envy. Romon suddenly had a flash of inspiration.
Viscount has more than 300 square kilometers, so it can build a city, which proves that this family has a considerable influence in the local area and is enough to affect the political situation of a region.
Of course, this is also the limit of ordinary nobles. It is basically impossible for the Viscount to obtain further promotion. The Earl can control one county, while the Esk Kingdom itself has only seven counties.
Now, Viscount Eagle Edel's intention is that everyone understands that he wants to be promoted to Earl, compete with Earl Camplin of Parker County, and jointly control Parker County.
And the emergence of a new earl will undoubtedly change the distribution of power in the kingdom, perhaps...
Just as Romon was thinking, he said, "...Sir Shaka, I am still missing a lot of territory to achieve Viscount, and in addition, my military achievements are also a little worse."
Although the most important thing for a noble to grant titles is territory, there must be merit in terms of title.
"... Baron Tatshaw, after deducting the unusable area, it is actually 200 square kilometers, but in fact your territory is more than 250... Viscount is only one step away, and this gap is not a problem. Of course, merit is indeed a problem. If you can make more contributions to the kingdom, I think His Majesty the King will not be stingy with the title of Viscount."
So that's it, Romon immediately understood, which means that the king could confer Romon as a viscount when the situation was right.
Romon nodded with a smile, and did not agree immediately, pondering. As he pondered, the power of nature carried a slight pressure.
A silence made Sir Shaka feel a little uneasy, feeling the power in the air that is difficult to explain and real. He suddenly realized that he had not seen each other for two years. This man who was already a young man was a man who mastered the fourth level of natural spell!
"Sir Shaka, I am Baron Tatshaw, and naturally I am His Majesty's loyal servant. As a nobleman of the kingdom, I am willing to obey His Majesty's orders."
For a moment, the young man said respectfully and humbly, but his expression and demeanor seemed extremely confident, showing his position and attitude.
Sir Shaka couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief after hearing this. With Romon's agreement, the royal family's plans became much easier.
This is not only the interests of the royal family, but also his interests.
