Knight with Wand

The next day, after sending away Baron Earliver's army, Leon and Rohark discussed in detail the affairs after the canonization with the noble knight who was left to guide the three of them in the room where Azerion rested. .

It was a burly middle-aged knight named "Balf Ferrante". He had a beard and a scar diagonally across his face, and he looked very fierce.

"Remember, three young Your Excellencies, you are now officially canonized 'Fief Knights', but you must always maintain a noble character worthy of this status in the future.

Becoming a knight does not mean that you can do whatever you want. Once you are reported by the subjects or other nobles and do any serious disqualification or violation of the oath, the title and territory can still be taken away by the monarch. " Balfe warned seriously.

"Thank you for your advice, Your Excellency Philante, we will always keep our oath in mind." Leon replied solemnly.

"Me too." Lohark nodded vigorously.

Azarian didn't say anything, but just touched his chest in greeting. He had been taught these warnings by his father countless times in his past growth.

Balfe's serious face immediately relaxed and he waved his hand: "Don't be too nervous. This warning is just a routine matter. I believe you won't be like some pampered playboys who get carried away as soon as they become lords."

"Next, let me tell you about the obligations of knights. According to the kingdom's laws, all fief knights in the country must always prepare at least a complete set of knight armor, a long-handled cavalry weapon, a sword, and a war horse. Two spare draft horses," the senior knight detailed.

Leon and the three of them felt relieved. After destroying the equipment of the Kantadar army, they now have no shortage of these things.

Balfe touched his beard: "This is the minimum requirement for knighthood, but it must be more than enough for you, so I won't go into details.

In addition, each of you is obliged to bring at least one knight squire with you every year to serve the Lord for forty days free of charge.

For the period beyond forty days, as your current status as ‘lower knights’, the Lord will pay you a salary of twenty-five dires per day.

If in the future, you are really lucky enough to be crowned a 'Knight of the Square Banner' for your meritorious service, then this salary will be doubled. "

25 dires per day?

One month is 7.5 gold crowns.

Leon calculated in his mind the approximate income of an ordinary farmer in Serian in the memory of the original owner. The income of a knight serving in the army was actually 125 times that of an ordinary farmer.

He recalled how many noble knights there were in the two armies that came to Selva before. He was afraid that paying these knights individually in one month would cost two to three thousand gold crowns.

This war is more than a waste of money.

Leon thought for a while and suddenly asked: "Your Excellency Ferrante, if in the future when Lord Elliot issues a military order, some of us will be injured and bedridden due to an accident, like Azerien now, or due to other reasons." What should I do if I am unable to respond to the call because the matter is outside my territory?”

Balfe heard this question, waved his hand and replied: "If this happens, you can also choose to pay the monthly shield tax of four gold crowns to serve on your behalf, but if you cannot dispatch at least one knight attendant, Then you have to add two more gold coins.

However, as someone who has experienced it, I would like to remind you that if you are determined to achieve higher glory and status, you should try not to avoid being called up. As knights, the battlefield is where we truly make achievements. "

Seeing the three teenagers nodding in agreement, the older senior knight continued to describe their feudal obligations one by one.

Including the Lord's Thorn Flower family and the royal family, when there are certain events related to heir crowning ceremonies, weddings, etc., the proportion of gifts to be prepared, and other details are explained clearly.

The question and answer exchange between you and me is like giving a lecture.

"The three manors granted to you by Lord Ellipher did not directly specify how to distribute them. Before the canonization documents are completed, you can discuss and decide on your own territories. Just tell me before I go back.

By the way, Your Excellency Leon and Your Excellency Lohark, you two were born as commoners in the past and currently do not have a family name. Please pick one up as soon as possible, otherwise the subsequent canonization documents will only be signed with the name of your territory as the suffix. . "Knight Balfe reminded.

Leon touched his chin before he had time to think about it.

Because the pronunciation of his name is similar to that of his original name on Earth, Li Ang, and he still uses the name of the original owner of the body, so the surname is naturally included in it, and he doesn't feel uncomfortable at all.

Then give yourself a surname that sounds like "Lee"?

Leon Lee?

I'm still NicoNicoNi

It sounds weird, no.

Just when Leon was in tangled deliberation, Rohark on the side made his decision first.

"Lohark Ferrux."

The tall boy seemed to have been prepared for this. This was also the nickname his mother used to give him: "Uncle Balfe, my last name will be 'Ferux' from now on."

"Mustang? Well, a good last name." Balfe wrote this down and then looked at Leon.

"What about you, Sir Leon? It doesn't matter if you can't make a decision at the moment. You can think about it slowly in the past few days. I won't leave in a short time."

"No need." After a second thought, Leon finally gave up the tempting choice of "Al Johnson" in the entanglement between the two candidates.

"Leon Pendragon." He took King Arthur's surname without blushing.

The head of the dragon, how majestic.

Besides, he was also a descendant of the dragon in his previous life, so this surname is not bad.

Although in the Feru language of this world, the pronunciation of "Dragon" does not mean dragon.

"Pendragon?" Balf had never heard of this uncommon word.

Leon had to use his index finger to draw the pronunciation on the table. Fortunately, the original owner was taught by his father before and knew some daily Feru characters.

"Okay, I'll remember it."

Balf understood the writing method, so he raised his eyes and continued to say to the two: "Since you have decided on your surname, you can also find someone to draw a coat of arms to represent your identity.

However, you are still lower-level knights, and you cannot hang your personal coat of arms on the battlefield. When necessary, you can only fly the thorn rose flag of the master's family. Don't overstep your authority.

Flags can only use long triangles or swallowtail flags. Only when you are successfully conferred as a 'square flag knight' by Lord Elliver in the future, you can use square flags to display your personal or family coat of arms. Do you understand?"

Leon nodded. It turned out that the knight had so many rules and requirements even for hanging a flag.

"Okay, that's all I have to say for now. The rest, when you each recruit your own coat of arms officer, they will also explain the etiquette and customs of the nobles of Orland to you."
