Chapter 120: Land Granting and Shocking of the Title.
If it were really announced who would get the title, it would be a big event for the family.
In particular, the actual title involves acquiring territory and is crucial to the long-term growth of the family.
Many people had gathered from the gate of the manor.
It seemed that someone was striding towards the banquet hall of the main building. Starting from the crowd gathered at the entrance of the manor, a group of people gathered in a straight line towards the hall and rushed towards the banquet hall.
Victoria and Teresa saw many people starting to walk towards the banquet hall.
…Now, I have to go and see it.
Theresa looked at Victoria, gestured sideways, and walked towards the banquet hall.
Teresa already guessed who it was.
And Victoria had to shelve the duel proposal again, because if the person who was knighted was one of her relatives, it would not be good if she was not present at such an important moment in life.
The two people entered the banquet hall.
…
"Lord Ricardo, Lord Lorient invites you over."
Ollie came to Ricardo's side.
Lorient is here too?
Ricardo asked Ollie to arrange for a few knights to guard the scene, while he walked into the banquet hall.
After entering, he was led by a demon hunting knight brought over by Lorient and headed to the front of the banquet, where there was a short flight of steps and a platform.
At this time, Sir Parson, Lorient, and several other officials from the provincial center were standing there talking.
A small stone table was quickly lifted onto the platform.
A huge metal plate was placed on the stone table, with many emerald green pebbles neatly arranged in the center, surrounding a gorgeous baronetcy medal.
Then at the back of the medal, documents such as territorial documents are placed.
Ricardo was led onto the platform.
"It's Ricardo, the Ricardo of the Binghu family."
"It's Andrew's younger brother, the one who just returned from the Wizarding Continent. Did he get any meritorious service?"
"Little Ricardo..."
Seeing Ricardo being brought to the stage, the two people in the audience Members of each family also understood who the protagonist of this investiture ceremony was.
They started talking one after another.
Lord Golden Deer looked at Ricardo who walked onto the stage with some surprise. He glanced at Andrew who was resting on the other side of the banquet.
He confirmed that Andrew was standing over there alive, and was also wearing the clothes that symbolized Lord Ice Lakeland.
It's not a matter of territory inheritance. Has anything happened in the Ice Lake Territory recently?
Lord Jinlu thought that during the banquet, a junior from the Binghu family seemed to have mentioned the recent bandit suppression by the Binghu leader, and that a larger operation had been launched after that.
Victoria followed Theresa into the banquet hall, and she saw Ricardo taking the stage.
She also glanced at Andrew in surprise, and after confirming that he was alive, she covered her surprised mouth with her hands, her eyes full of doubts.
"Let us congratulate..."
Sir Parson walked forward to the side of the huge metal plate. He was wearing a special investiture robe and holding a scepter that symbolized the imperial power and the king's mandate. He looked at the audience gently and majestically. .
"The one who is about to be promoted to Lord Baron of the Empire...our Lord Ricardo!"
Sir Parson turned around, took off the badge representing the title from the center of the metal plate, turned around and slowly lifted it up, and looked at Ricardo who was led forward.
"On behalf of the empire, the royal family and the noble council, I confirm that Your Excellency Ricardo's revenge war against the original wind wolf lord is legal and reasonable." "And the empire
, the royal family and the noble council have confirmed the victory of your revenge war. You deserve the original wind. The territory and title of the Wolf Barony!"
"Now, on behalf of the empire, the royal family and the noble council, I would like to award you the title of baronet!"
After solemnly announcing the knighthood order, Sir Parson solemnly placed the title badge into the Ricardo held it in his hands, and then asked Ricardo to perform a simple oath ceremony.
The oath of allegiance ceremony was relatively simple, and the empire's territory was extremely vast. Even within a province, territory annexation and destruction often occurred.
In this extraordinary world, as long as the territorial wars of grassroots nobles comply with the laws of the empire, the empire does not value such formalities as swearing allegiance.
"Congratulations!"
"Congratulations..."
"Congratulations..."...
As Ricardo completed his oath of allegiance, led by the young people from the Binghu family, the audience began to cheer and applaud.
Amidst the lively cheers and applause, and through word of mouth from the young people of the Binghu family, the people of the Jinlu family also learned about the recent major events: Fenglang led the Baron Fenglang family, and Ricardo led the army
. The name of territorial revenge war was destroyed!
From the moment the knighthood is completed, the Binghu family no longer has the need to keep it secret. Now it is certain that Ricardo will receive the title of baronet!
…What?
Lord Jinlu and other noble elders of the Jinlu family, except for a few, all received the news with shocked expressions.
The Barony of Wind Wolf was destroyed?
The Golden Deer family is no stranger to this neighbor of the Binghu Lord family, and the baron who was promoted after exchanging territories with the famous lord Frostwind Viscount of Pansen County.
...Ricardo has only been back in his territory for less than two weeks.
Such a familiar baron family, or a baron who had completed his title promotion in this generation, was destroyed like this?
Is this the strength of the wizard apprentices who have returned from the Wizarding Continent?
Moreover, it has only been a few days, and this wizard apprentice actually asked the noble council, which has always been procrastinating, to complete the process, and directly asked the administrator from the provincial center to conduct the knighting ceremony tonight? !
For a time, many elders of the Jinlu family, regardless of the dignity of their elders, began to inquire about various details from the young people of the Binghu family...
Victoria covered her mouth with her hands for a long time and did not let go. Her eyes were wide open and she was stunned. a while.
She saw many nobles in the venue coming forward to hug Ricardo and congratulate her. Theresa also went up to congratulate her, and then came back...
"Congratulations, Theresa."
Victoria saw Theresa coming and felt a little embarrassed. She said, her tone seemed to have a hint of sourness.
"Wait a minute, do you still want to arrange... that?"
Teresa looked at Victoria with some embarrassment. With the family atmosphere being so high today, it might not be convenient for her to arrange such a private matter later.
At this moment, the process on the stage seemed not to be completed yet.
The administrator on the platform placed a new document after handing over the previous territory document.
The vicissitudes of life middle-aged man who arrived on the stage with Sir Parson, dressed as a demon hunter knight, put a black cloak on his head.
The black cloak is engraved with various mysterious inscriptions. Combined with the style of the cloak, it seems to belong to some extraordinary organization.
And it shouldn't be a demon hunter knight.
"...Shall I make the announcement on your behalf? Okay, Lorient."
Sir Parson looked at Lorient helplessly, as if he had accepted the other party's request for favor.
He turned around and continued speaking in a raised voice.
"Ladies and gentlemen, let me conduct another granting ceremony and a new territory granting document..."
As Sir Parson's words fell, the whispering voices in the audience became softer again.
…The granting of new territories… Obtaining territories is one of the most exciting events for members of grassroots noble families.
Mentioning this, everyone was interested again.
Is there any territory available? …Could it be some territory related to the Wind Wolf Territory?
"First of all, congratulations to Baron Ricardo for joining the Exorcist Alliance! And obtaining the rank of captain of the Alliance!"
Sir Parson solemnly picked up the cloak of the Exorcist Alliance and placed it in Ricardo's hand.
The whole audience, except for Teresa's scroll teacher and a few others, understood the existence of the exorcism coalition and were greatly surprised. The rest only applauded symbolically, not having time to understand the exorcism coalition and the coalition captain. significance.
Some of them knew that Ricardo had the rank of Demon Hunter Knight and Imperial Lieutenant Colonel, and they were even more confused.
At this time, Sir Parson continued to announce:
"Furthermore, Your Excellency Lorient asked me to announce a piece of good news: the evil situation in Snow Deer Village in Golden Deer, although official investigations have confirmed that it is a relatively dangerous place. The evil realm, but the evil spirits in this evil realm have been purified recently by Baron Ricardo!" "
Due to the special involvement of the evil realm and the contribution of Baron Ricardo in purifying the evil spirits, the thoroughness of the subsequent evil realm has also been taken into consideration. Purification. The Exorcism Alliance has made an arrangement with the Noble Council. The evil realm in Snow Deer Village will be managed by Baron Ricardo, and after it is converted into a secret realm in the future, Baron Ricardo will have priority to redeem it!" "In addition, for the convenience of Bing
Bing The Lake Leader went to Snow Deer Village because of Baron Ricardo's willingness to redeem his merits. From Binghu Town to the eastern periphery of Snow Deer Village, the one hundred square kilometers of imperial public land located in Panxue Forest and close to Panxue Mountains was covered by Granted to His Excellency Baron Ricardo as his private territory!"
The evil situation of Snow Deer Village...and the public territory of Panxue Forest...
the former was spread among the Golden Deer family even when it was simply sealed by the officials due to danger. .
Unexpectedly, it was officially confirmed to be highly dangerous, and unknowingly, it had been purified by Ricardo!
And territory…territory again!
Everyone heard that Ricardo had gained another hundred square kilometers of land, and saw that Ricardo was once again filled with heat!
This one hundred square kilometers of territory, the original Wind Wolf Territory's more than three hundred square kilometers of territory, coupled with Ricardo's incredible strength and leadership reflected in this, seems to control the Ice Lake Territory, and its corresponding nearly one hundred square kilometers territory.
The territory under Ricardo's control has reached more than 400 square kilometers!
"Congratulations!"
"Congratulations!"...
The whole place suddenly became heated again. This time, the atmosphere between the two families became even more heated after the previous brewing.
From the beginning of the party, to the Jinlu family, it was just a wizard apprentice who had just returned and the news of his injury spread.
By tonight, he has become a lord who controls 400 square kilometers, and has a good position in the Demon Hunter Knights and the Exorcist Alliance. He also has connections with the provincial center and upper levels, making the procrastinating official work efficiency very fast.
Such a change... has...
already made the two families the most powerful figures! It can even be said that it has the highest status!
Even the legendary Lady Golden Deer or the old Lord Binghu of the Binghu family could not match his status!
