Legendary Hero
Chapter 229: Grand Duke's Great Reward (Part 2)
The day passed peacefully.
In the early morning of the next day, Luo Lin's canonization ceremony would be held. Envoys from nobles from all over the place came one after another, and all kinds of carriages were parked in the square.
Luo Lin was arrested by the ceremonial officer in the castle, and began to improvise to correct his posture and change his attire.
His original elven battle armor did not conform to etiquette, so he took it off and replaced it with the gorgeous ceremonial battle armor of the principality, with a gold and red ribbon on the outside, and the shield was not very beautiful. When he took it off, the sword was too heavy, and the evil spirit was too strong. Next, put on the exquisite aristocratic ritual long sword.
Anyway, after finishing the arrangement, Luo Lin was in a daze, letting these picky etiquette officials be at the mercy of them.
Finally, at nine o'clock in the morning, someone came over and shouted: "The guests who watched the ceremony have arrived, and the ceremony has begun!"
An attendant led Luo Lin out of the door. When he arrived at the square, a war horse with all white fur and sash was pulled over. This was Luo Lin's mount.
After getting on the horse, the attendant led the horse and walked to the Hall of Heroes in front of the castle, which was the place where nobles were conferred in the past.
When you get to the ground, get off your horse and enter the hall through the back door. From here, you can see the situation inside the hall. With a quick glance, Luo Lin saw that the previously empty Hall of Heroes was already full of people. They were nobles and famous people from all over the world who came to watch the ceremony. The number was at least a thousand.
He was led to the entrance of the Hall of Heroes.
"Lord Rollin is here!" A ceremonial officer shouted, because he has not been formally canonized, so his title is still Lord.
Then Luo Lin walked from the entrance of the Hall of Heroes, along the newly laid red carpet on the ground, and under the watchful eyes of thousands of nobles, knights, and church personnel in gorgeous clothes, he walked slowly towards the Grand Duke Lehman, who was at the top of the hall. .
Grand Duke Lehman was also dressed up today, with a crown of golden gemstones on his head and a gorgeous grand duke robe on his body. He held a silver crown in his hand, and beside him was an envoy carrying a tray with several volumes of documents on it.
The first person on the left of Grand Duke Lehman is a white-haired old man. This old man is dressed plainly and has a somewhat stooped figure, but no one dares to underestimate him. He is the Red Moon Sword Saint Parason who has been famous for two hundred years.
Beside Parason are several of his disciples, and then there are a group of great nobles and great knights from the Principality. On the right side of the Grand Duke are the spectators of the church. There is the Archbishop of Holy Light in gold robes, the Cardinal in white robes with silver trim, and the Commander of the Knights of Light.
This battle is unprecedentedly grand. The canonization ceremony of a viscount needs to be so grand, right?
With doubts, Luo Lin stepped forward step by step, and knelt on the ground in front of Grand Duke Lehman.
Grand Duke Lehman saw an unopened sword resting on Luo Lin's shoulder, and began the canonization ceremony.
The ceremony is very simple, after a formal exchange of answers, the lord and vassals' respective responsibilities and rights are sworn, and the final canonization begins.
Grand Duke Lehman picked up a volume of documents, opened it, and began to read: "In the year 1160 of the sacred calendar, I, the owner of the Duchy of Lehman, Vincent Lehman canonized Rollin Swart as the hereditary earl of the Northern Red Maple Province. Maple Leaf County and Levin County are their territories..."
After reading this, the entire hall was already in chaos, just as Grand Duke Lehman had imagined, all kinds of noise suddenly broke out.
"What?! Count? Why Count?"
"What feats does he have!"
"It's just nonsense!" Someone hid in the crowd by himself, and began to speak rudely.
"In the four hundred years of the Principality, this kind of thing has never happened. Before the canonization, the Grand Duke must have drunk too much wine." Someone ridiculed.
No one has any objection to being promoted to a baron before. It is only natural for Luo Lin to be a baron because he is so powerful. In fact, all the great knights in the Principality are barons.
Afterwards, Grand Duke was changed to Viscount again. Although everyone was a little dissatisfied, they all recognized it. Who told this man to defeat the orc warrior? This force is indeed very strong, and he is young. Such a genius, of course, should be treated kindly .
But now, Grand Duke Lehman didn't even say anything, he directly changed his title to Earl, and sent out two counties. Although this territory belongs to the Lehman family, the Grand Duke can give it to whoever he likes, but a country must have laws , how can you be so messy?
This is the Earl! Sitting in two counties, with a population of nearly one million, and a figure like a feudal official, this Luo Lin has only been a little lord, how can he hold it?
Could it be that the Grand Duke is out of his wits and rushed to send off the general?
Since you want to give someone away, why send a lord who just took refuge here? Wouldn't it be better to send us veterans?
Dissatisfaction, questioning, and even cursing, all kinds of thoughts circled in the minds of these nobles. If they were not concerned about the Grand Duke's face, they might just yell out loud.
Luo Lin also felt strange, didn't he agree with the Viscount? How could he be promoted to another level in just two days? Isn't this Grand Duke being a little too generous?
Of course, as a beneficiary, he certainly wouldn't say anything at this time. The earl is the earl, he has a big appetite, and if he can eat it, it doesn’t matter what other people refuse to accept. As long as the territory is in his hands, it will be stable in one year, and two years is enough for him to build a ground like an iron barrel. By then, He himself is a legendary powerhouse, who is he afraid of?
The noise in the hall was getting louder and louder, and it was about to get out of control. Archbishop Shengguang coughed and raised his hand to show that he had something to say.
The face of Archbishop Shengguang still needs to be given, so the noise is much lower, but there are still a lot of buzzing sounds.
The archbishop said: "Half a month ago, in White Hart Town in the south, Earl Rollin defeated nearly 4,000 undead and bought a lot of time for many small towns to retreat. His actions saved millions of civilians .This is a great achievement, so I think this canonization is reasonable."
"Then what does the southerner have to do with our principality?" Some people objected.
"Rolin is also a southerner. It is true that he made great achievements in Vendôme, but this is a duchy. If you want to make him a count, you have to go to the western front and kill 10,000 Aoraki dogs!"
With the presence of Archbishop Shengguang, Archduke Lehman felt the pressure lessened by more than half. He pressed his hand and said, "Yesterday, Earl Rollin defeated three assassins from the Kingdom of Aoraki outside the city. Brother Iron Hand He rescued my daughter Angela from his hands. This is my reward for him."
Brotherhood of Iron Hands in the kingdom of Aoraki? Well, as soon as this incident happened, the voices of opposition were greatly reduced. As the nobles of the Principality of Lehman, no one knows the strength of the Brotherhood of Iron Hands. Their Principality has been killed by these assassins and two archmages.
Although the voice of opposition has been lowered, some people are still dissatisfied. This reward is too generous, which makes people envious and jealous.
"Maybe it's just a few little assassins who got lucky." Someone muttered.
"Who knows. Maybe there's no such thing at all."
"Okay!" A voice suddenly appeared, not loud, but with indescribable majesty, it was the Red Moon Sword Master.
At this moment, the aged Juggernaut didn't look old at all. He looked around the hall with lightning-like eyes, and said indifferently: "What the Archbishop of Shengguang and the Grand Duke said is the truth. The assassins of the Brotherhood of Iron Hands are all powerful archbishops." Warrior. It is my idea to designate Luo Lin as earl, who has any objection?"
There was complete silence, the hall was completely silent, a needle could be heard, and no one had any objections.
This is the majesty of the guardian of the principality.
After that, the canonization went smoothly, and the silver gem crown was put on Luo Lin's head, and then he became the earl of the two counties in the Principality of Lehman, and he could be regarded as a big official of the frontier.
But things are not over yet.
Grand Duke Lehman smiled and said: "There is one more thing today."
He beckoned to the crowd, and Angela in full attire came up, and then the Grand Duke smiled and said, "My daughter Angela loves swordsmanship, but there is no famous master to teach you. Earl Rollin, I know you are unparalleled in swordsmanship, and I would like to invite you You taught Angela swordsmanship, what do you think?"
Grand Duke Lehman's tone was very sincere, his expression was full of requests, and he didn't have the tone of an order like a superior at all.
In fact, the Grand Duke has no choice. Judging from the signs of his daughter and Luo Lin getting along in the past two days, it is estimated that the marriage will not be possible. This matter can't be done, but the relationship must be established, so it will become a master and apprentice.
Of course, Grand Duke Lehman didn't say he was going to die, he just asked Luo Lin to give advice, and he didn't definitely ask his daughter to apprentice. Because both parties are young men and women, if they stay together for a long time, who knows if feelings will develop, and the established master-student relationship will become an obstacle to further development.
Therefore, in order to get closer to Luo Lin, Grand Duke Lehman really tried his best.
Luo Lin was stunned. He glanced at Angela, but saw that the girl gave him a sly look, then lowered her head, and suddenly realized that the title of earl was still a tuition fee.
What else can he say? The Grand Duke is so sincere, and he has just been canonized as the earl of the duchy, and he has given away so much land. It is not a big deal to let you teach his daughter. The nobles in this hall can drown Luo Lin to death with one mouthful of spit.
Luo Lin smiled wryly, and saluted: "I will teach with all my heart, as long as Miss Angela is willing to learn, I will never hide my secrets."
Grand Duke Lehman smiled contentedly: "Okay, okay, then I will trouble you."
This matter is settled, and after that there will be a banquet. Although Luo Lin doesn't like this kind of noisy scene, but this time he has to participate. After being toasted again and again, his face turns red because of drinking, and he almost passed out.
After finally coping with it, and finally returning to his room, Luo Lin let out a sigh of relief. There is only one more disciple, and he is a disciple known by the whole Principality. This is a big trouble.
After much deliberation, teach and teach, what's the big deal.
Having made up his mind, Luo Lin put the matter aside and fell asleep on the bed.
The next day, Luo Lin packed up and saluted, bid farewell to the Grand Duke, and rushed to his own territory. As Luo Lin's disciple, Angela naturally followed. She didn't ride in a carriage, but rode with Luo Lin.
The two of them, with more than a dozen elite guards, went straight north to the Red Maple Province.
Luo Lin defeated the three tulip warriors. It is estimated that this matter has suppressed the Aoraki Kingdom, so there were no accidents along the way. After half a month, the group first arrived in Levin County, which is a little southerly.
Because it is located in the north, and the terrain is flat and there are many grasslands, Levin County is basically dominated by grazing. It is not rich, but it is not poor, and it is considered medium. There is also a city in this county called Neverwinter, and there is a castle in the city, which was originally the residence of Grand Duke Lehman, and now naturally belongs to Luo Lin.
Looking at the endless grassland, densely covered with cattle and sheep, and the city on the highland in the distance, Luo Lin felt that his heart was extremely open.
Now, the land belongs to him.
The land of the two counties has a population of nearly 800,000. With such a huge force, as long as it is managed well, it is enough to fight a few battles with the future orc army, undead army, and even the demon army.
