The Witcher: My backyard leads to London
Chapter 120: Granting of titles, land and shock
If it were really announced who would get the title, it would be a big family matter.
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 to come 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 achieve any merit?"
"Little Ricardo..."
Seeing Ricardo being brought to the stage, members of the two families in the audience 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 Golden Deer thought that at the banquet just now, a junior from the Binghu family seemed to have mentioned the recent bandit suppression by the Binghu leader, and that a larger operation seemed to have 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 with gentleness and majesty.
"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 his title from the center of the metal plate, turned around and slowly lifted it up, looking 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 war of revenge against the former Lord Wind Wolf is legal and reasonable."
"And the empire, the royal family and the noble council have confirmed your victory in the revenge war. You deserve to receive the territory and title of the original Barony of Wind Wolf!"
"Now, on behalf of the Empire, the Royal Family and the Parliament of Nobles, I would like to grant you the title of Baronet!"
After solemnly announcing the knighthood order, Sir Parson solemnly placed the title badge into Ricardo's hand, 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.
"congratulate!"
"congratulations…"
"congratulate…"…
As Ricardo completed his oath of allegiance, led by the young people of the Binghu family, the audience began to cheer and applaud.
Amidst the lively cheers and applause, and through word of mouth among the young people of the Binghu family, the people of the Jinlu family also learned about the recent major events:
The family of Baron Wind Wolf, led by Wind Wolf, was destroyed by Ricardo and his army in the name of territorial revenge war!
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 and didn't let go for a long time. She stared blankly for a while.
She saw many nobles in the venue coming up to hug Ricardo and congratulating her. Theresa also went up to congratulate her, and then came back...
"Congratulations, Theresa."
Victoria said awkwardly when she saw Theresa coming, 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. The family atmosphere was so intense today that it might be inconvenient for her to arrange such private matters 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 announce it for you? All right, 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 Lord Baron Ricardo for joining the Exorcism Alliance! And he has obtained 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 has asked me to announce good news: Although the evil realm located in Snow Deer Village in Golden Deer Territory has been confirmed by official investigations to be a highly dangerous evil realm, the evil spirits in this evil realm , has been purified recently by Baron Ricardo!"
"Due to the special involvement of the evil realm, as well as Baron Ricardo's contribution in purifying the evil spirits, and also taking into account the subsequent complete purification of the evil realm. The Exorcist Alliance made arrangements with the Noble Council, and the evil realm in Snow Deer Village will be purified by Baron Ricardo. Your Excellency has entrusted it, and after it is converted into a secret realm in the future, Lord Baron Ricardo has the priority to redeem it!"
"In addition, in order to facilitate the Binghu Leader to go to Snow Deer Village, it is also due to Baron Ricardo's willingness to redeem his merits. From Binghu Town to the eastern periphery of Snow Deer Village, it is located in the Panxue Forest and close to the Panxue Mountains. The imperial public lands were granted to His Excellency Baron Ricardo and became his private territory!”
The evil environment of Snow Deer Village...and the public domain of Panxue Forest...
Because of the danger of the former, it had already spread among the Golden Deer family when it was simply sealed by the authorities.
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!"
"congratulate!"…
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 changes...already...
He has become the most powerful figure in the two families! 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!
