High Above

[On the first day of the month of flaming flames, the imperial capital. I, Mikael Sertal, am entrusted by the Governor of South Ridge, Marquis Barton Henry, and the Governor of Port Harrison, Viscount Ayers Grant, to act on behalf of the apprentice of the Knights of the Watch, Ian. of rewards. 】

[Since becoming a member of the Inspector Knights, Knight Ian has made many meritorious deeds...]

In the center of the hall, only the bird-shaped Heart Light Body and Ian were left. The Second Prince's Heart Light Body was suspended in mid-air, reciting the process to Ian and the various deeds that Ian had done.

Some are exaggerated, some are untrue, but overall, there are not many mistakes or omissions. The intelligence system of the Setal Empire is indeed quite capable.

As for the mind-light body instead of the person... In Terra, the strong person's mind-light body represents the strong person himself - even in the Kingdom of Yanjiang and the Cangtian Royal Court, the strong person is more accustomed to using the mind-light body to carry out actions than to present himself. All kinds of important ceremonies, I think this is the real importance.

What's more, Mikael is probably not in the imperial capital now, and the appearance of the Heart Light Body is already very official.

At this moment, a flash of light shone in the eyes of the second prince's heart light body. The two flashes of light were like two sharp swords of light. They touched lightly on the young man's armored shoulders, and then narrowed down to an extremely small size. Turn into a pen and sign on the document on the other side: [Very good. That's pretty much it. Ian, you have been made a lord, as for the name... you can fill it in yourself]

[After all, it’s just a knight leader, don’t be too weird, just do whatever you want.]

Fill it out yourself? How casual...

Ian was stunned for a moment, and Isengard beside him was also communicating with his mother in a low voice, seeming to say, 'This doesn't follow the procedure, does it? ’ and Mrs. Ellen’s response, ‘What’s the process? ’.

[Your soul is very tough. I think it won’t take long for you to reach the second energy level. Psychics are uniquely endowed in this regard. At that time, you can officially be named a noble by virtue of your territory and strength.】

The second prince said this, and he levitated the document to Ian: [Now, you are the youngest knight lord in Nanling, and I hope that in the future, you will also be the youngest new noble in Nanling]

[The responsibility for whether the Cejalrovo family can be revived in the future lies with you]

"Thank you for your encouragement... I will never forget the rise and fall of the family."

The young man took it and looked at the document with all the seals and signatures of the second prince and deputy captain Shuangji, and couldn't help but feel a little ridiculous.

--So simple? The whole process took less than ten minutes, of which five minutes were spent on posing and stamping...

It's really easy to get things done if there are people above...

In addition, he also noticed that these people seemed to have some misunderstandings about themselves.

"Reviving the Cejalrovo family? To be honest, I don't feel anything at all..."

With this thought in his mind, Ian looked serious on the surface, but in fact he understood the misunderstanding of him by the second prince, deputy leader Shuangji and Mrs. Ellen: "They should think of Elder Puder as the kind of person who has inherited all the family's heritage. The inheritance elder, and then worked hard to cultivate me, right? In fact, it cannot be said wrong, Elder Pude has indeed devoted all his efforts for me... and the White People are undoubtedly the foundation of my future. "

"Well, it seems that I really want to revive the family."

"Forget it, they can think that way if they want. It's a good thing for me."

After the conferment was over, the second prince and Mrs. Ellen went to the side hall to communicate, and then left - he was a busy man, and even if he could divide his mind, light and body into several, it would still not be enough.

And Ian handed the secret message from Marquis Barton to Deputy Captain Shuangji.

"oh?"

The blue-haired knight raised his eyebrows and said with interest: "Why, you think of giving it to me now?"

"You are all here."

Ian shook his head slightly - for the deputy captain to come here and bear witness to his conferment, it was obvious that he had already proved it.

It would be strange if he didn't give it.

"Good job."

Shuangji laughed and didn't say much. He patted Ian's shoulder, gave Ian a thumbs-up with the other hand, and said cheerfully: "The Patrol Knights have lacked potential new blood in recent years. , although there are many young masters who come to us for gold plating, but those who are truly capable and can continue to work in the Inspector Knights... Tres and you are two."

"I'm very optimistic about you."

"Excessive praise, Commander."

Ian replied calmly. Next, Shuangji encouraged him a few more words and left here.

He only came to witness Ian's conferment, and had no intention of getting involved in the internal affairs of the Ellen family.

"I never expected that you would become the lord of a land!"

After bidding farewell to his second uncle and deputy captain of Frost Trail, Isengard looked even happier than Ian: "This is really good. I didn't expect Viscount Grant to recommend you..."

He patted the young man's armor and said with some emotion: "He actually let you out like this? I remember, don't nobles like to keep geniuses in their hands all the time?"

"He has a child. If I can become his child's teacher, the Viscount will definitely be happier than I am under his command."

Ian shook his head. He understood the psychology of the nobles better than the young master Ethan.

He quite understood the Viscount's thoughts - in the final analysis, even if he became a lord, he still had to accept the Viscount's favor. Even if you were promoted, you would still have to show favor to your old superiors in the army when you meet him later.

And in this way, Ian will also become the Viscount's best assistant around the Agate Stone Plain. The cooperation between the two parties will definitely be closer than the cooperation between Baron Ryan and Viscount Grant. This is a win-win situation.

"That's what you said." Isengard didn't think so much. He nodded and took Ian to the attached hall: "Let's go, take off the armor, the luncheon is about to begin."

Ian followed and took off his armor - one thing is that this level of technology has actually reached the point of fully information-based combat. The war in the world of Terra may be different from what he imagined.

The Ellen family's luncheon was generally quite luxurious, and even Ian was surprised when the waiters and maids presented various dishes.

The first thing served was a variety of very bright dishes, including pickled olives from the Haga Peninsula, which are pickled with a special local rock salt, which can regulate the stomach; and crown carrots from the Quinault Plain are even more red and dripping with blood, Ian I am keenly aware that this thing can even be used directly as a raw material for healing potions, but as an ingredient, it tastes very crisp and sweet, and the processing after cutting into pieces adds to its fragrance.

In addition, there are wide-shaped ice bars placed in a long porcelain plate. Various honeys and dairy products are placed on top of the ice bars. There is also a kind of ice cream derived from the autumn maple tree and cloud-winged sour bee. Maple sugar honey dessert, the former is a rare species of maple tree with high sugar content, and the latter is a psychic creature.

The nests of Cloudwing Sour Bees are mostly located underground. Depending on the surrounding ecology and plants, they will produce various fermented flavors of honey. This honey has different effects according to the taste and fermentation properties, as well as the spiritual characteristics of the local bee colony. Honey that can be eaten directly as food is even more of a treasure.

Ian tasted it and felt that his perception was slightly improved. In addition to bringing refreshing sweetness and sourness, the honey component of Yunyi Sour Bee can also temporarily improve the eater's perception and better perceive the deliciousness of various dishes.

"Using sublimated materials as ingredients, can you enjoy the delicious food better?"

Ian thought to himself, and all kinds of main dishes were served next.

Beef steak, lamb, fish stew, nut platter, and a stew similar to the beast stew that the Marquis of Barton likes. Various seafood are evenly placed in the large porcelain basin, and the color is golden and brown. The thick soup exudes a charming aroma.

Ian glanced around and saw seven or eight different kinds of mild animal meat.

These dishes are all extraordinary. The leader of the barbarian cattle is a kind of monster. Although its meat is tough, it has a peculiar mellow fragrance. Regular consumption can increase the potential of strength. The lamb meat is even more extraordinary. It comes from Cangtian Wangting has a cute name called 'Ball Sheep'. It is also a kind of magical beast. Its thick spherical fur can generate electricity through friction and form a massive 'voltage charge' by rolling in clusters on the grassland. , or even 'Magnetic Levitation Charge'.

Because of this, the muscles and fat under the sheep's skin are very developed and difficult to eat, but the lamb meat is delicious and is a frequent guest at the banquets in the Khan's court.

"That's a little outrageous. Such a table of dishes costs several thousand thalers?"

Even the well-informed Ian couldn't help but feel that it was a bit outrageous. In contrast, the meal that Marquis Barton invited him to eat was simply a snack that the old man chewed casually when chatting with a junior like him. Let's chat with him over some food and wine.

Is this the cost of a great noble? To be honest, Ian feels that even in the imperial capital, this standard is a bit high.

He raised his head and looked at Isengard.

Then Ian was shocked to find that this guy was still drinking stamina potion!
