Chapter 70: Receiving the Reward (I)
I came back, I don't know if it's a cold or what, my stomach is a little uncomfortable)
"Yes, thank you for your forgiveness. The officers said gratefully, they really didn't dare to imagine what kind of treatment they would enjoy when they took this record to ask Lord Jay for a reward, and now that the boss came forward to take over the job, they were naturally all relieved, and they naturally stammered a lot.
"Ladies and gentlemen, the names of the first 10 meritorious officers are now announced! Those on the list will return to the city with the army, enjoy a free night's lodging and dinner, and the next morning, they will be rewarded by Lord Jay in the presence of the god of order!" an officer shouted at the survivors.
The fifty or sixty survivors present all swallowed their saliva violently, glory and wealth are about to be obtained, and they are worthy of their own hard work! But most of the people are hostile and vigilant to each other, because no one knows who is the lucky one among them, and Chen Shihao, the only one who enjoys the jealous gaze, is relaxed, everyone can hear it when he reported his meritorious service just now, Chen Shihao's meritorious service is indisputably ranked first, and he is very stable, so he is very relaxed, so he enjoys the jealous eyes of many survivors.
"First merit, Chen Shihao of Lei Wei's team!" Sure enough, when Chen Shihao's name was read first, Chen Shihao naturally let himself walk out with a face full of excitement, and he didn't know how to put his hands and feet, and he also turned his grateful, excited and awe-inspiring eyes on the faces of Velen Knight and Lei Wei Cavalry like an actor, and this move naturally made the two big men nod their heads very satisfied.
Chen Shihao, the nine lucky ones in the back, didn't care about hearing the name at all, but he found that the merit of the leather armor was actually higher than that of the iron sword! This discovery made Chen Shihao very surprised, for what reason the leather armor would be better than the iron sword? Could it be that the person wearing the leather armor could kill the person who was only equipped with the iron sword with his bare hands? I don't understand the setting of this game.
As for what the other 9 people are, needless to say, they are all strong men with strong figures, after all, the low-level samurai still have to rely on their strength to carry it. Judging by the momentum, the strength of these nine guys is stronger than Chen Shihao, and all of them are warriors above the second level! Of course, there is absolutely no fifth level among them, and the fourth level is not sure.
Needless to say, the 10 lucky ones followed the cavalry into the city with pride, and the rest of the unlucky ones, because they did not have a first-class military card, so they could not even enjoy a meal except for a shilling as a reward, so they took the captured garbage and left to fend for themselves with their painful bodies.
Chen Shihao and they were taken to a very ordinary hotel to settle down, and after eating a very ordinary dinner delivered by the hotel, the 10 lucky people were left here, and the people who begged for a living on the knife edge naturally had their own set, and everyone had no relationship, and each entered the room to recuperate.
And Chen Shihao naturally went directly to the Temple of Light, the temple of 24-hour service, after he gave 1 shilling, the light shrouded, and the injuries that could be regarded as serious injuries immediately turned into minor injuries, not to mention that he was only slightly injured now, so the whole person was immediately intact. Because Chen Shihao, who washed the corpse and fished out 5 gold pounds, he was very wealthy, and after coming out of the Temple of Light, he went directly to the bath, and after spending a huge amount of money on clothes, he returned to the hotel to rest with his whole body bright.
The next day, Chen Shihao, who was very awake and asleep, jumped up and opened the door when he heard the knock on the door, only to see the waiter of the inn politely say: "My lord, please start freshening up, the canonization ceremony will be held in the side hall of the Temple of Order in an hour, and the city guards will send someone to pick you up in 30 minutes." ”
"Thank you. Chen Shihao generously threw out a few pennies, and immediately asked the waiter to automatically and quickly send him hot water, towels and other toiletries, and finally gave him a small snack for breakfast.
When Chen Shihao walked out of the hotel in good spirits, the opposite of him were 9 giant pandas with atrophy, and 10 people walked towards the square under the guidance of two city guards.
Following the footsteps of the city guards, Chen Shihao took a look and found that a magnificent and solemn palace stood directly opposite the Temple of Light, if it weren't for a gorgeous fountain in the center of the square, the gates of the two temples would be face to face. If you pay close attention, you can see that the square is surrounded by temples of various gods, but only the doors of the three temples that are particularly magnificent are diagonal.
Needless to say, the Temple of Light is one of them, the Temple of Order is naturally one of them, and the last one is the Temple of Agriculture. Chen Shihao, who understood that these temples represented faith, couldn't help but sigh in his heart, what is the game doing? Why do you put medical care, order, and food so high? You must know that the game is for war, and the god of war should be put at the highest level, because according to the rules, so you have to fight all day long!
Under the leadership of the city guards, it was very easy to enter the side hall of the Temple of Order, which did not even need the ceremony of visiting the gods, so he went straight to the side hall with such a big grin.
Looking at the side hall, Chen Shihao was a little speechless, except for his 10 lucky people, a very young priest of the God of Order, two city guards who led the way, an old man with a noble appearance and two guards behind him, there was no one else.
This is the canonization ceremony? Doesn't it mean that the canonization ceremony is very grand? Why is it so deserted? And who is that old man? It stands to reason that this kind of canonization ceremony, that is, the knight of Jaylen, is definitely going to appear! It's too concise, and it saves a lot of effort.
Chen Shihao looked at his 9 companions with some suspicion, these 9 guys were obviously puzzled and a little dissatisfied, obviously everyone realized that this was not a normal canonization ceremony!
The aristocratic old man glanced at everyone out of the corner of his eye, and saluted the priest of the god of order on the side: "Pastor, everyone is here, please witness it." The young pastor's face was serious, but at first glance he knew that he was forcing a serious and solemn statement, "God is witnessing." ”
As soon as these words came out, Chen Shihao suddenly felt that his skin tightened, and he felt as if he was being stared at in the void, and the cold sweat of his vest immediately broke out: "Mom! What's going on? Why is this game so weird?
The aristocratic old man coughed dryly: "Under the witness of the god of order, Lord Jay Lun, the Earl of West, renounces the rights and obligations of the following people, and unconditionally rewards the following 10 people with 30 acres of fertile land and 6 tenant farmers each, and the lord specially bestows the following 10 people with the status of servants of the West Lord. These words immediately shocked everyone and gave up the rights and obligations of the feudal king, that is to say, it is equivalent to giving the land and tenant farmers to the rewarded person for nothing, and there is no need for the rewarded person to fulfill any obligations at all, and more importantly, it is equivalent to the rewardee owning 30 acres of fertile land and 6 tenant farmers who are completely private!
Don't underestimate the difference, the former is a knight's squire, the latter is a knight's servant! It is a servant with private property! Not a working-class servant! You must know that the squire only has the ownership of the tenant farmer and the right to harvest the land, and needs to serve in the military for Lord Jayron, and the servant says that the field is now completely his own! Not to mention leaving a family business to future generations, even if you sell it, you can be chic for a lifetime!
Chen Shihao was not as happy as these 9 people, but he was sad, Lord Jay Lun gave up the rights and obligations of the feudal monarch, that is, he would not protect the vassals, and once he did not have the protection of Lord Jay Lun here, in the face of many nobles, the reserve nobles who lost the protection of the feudal monarch were definitely a little fat meat! Anyone can take a bite! The war is coming, and he just got the title and want to lose it?
Oh my God! I thought I had a backer, how could it become like this? Could it be that after knowing the details of his rewardees, the knight was afraid that his people would lose face and were unwilling to accept such a low-level vassal, so he simply gave up a total of 300 acres of fertile land and 60 tenant farmers? The face of the knight is so valuable? This game is also too funny!
Chen Shihao's guess was very correct, and Jay Lun waved his hand in disgust after receiving Wei Lun's reward from the reward list: "As a golden knight, I will never accept such a low-level warrior as a vassal, but the reward I gave will naturally not be withdrawn, and the reward will be given, but I refuse to fulfill the obligation of the feudal king! In order to maintain the principle of fairness, I give up the ownership of the reward field, and at the same time give up the right to be a feudal king." "For this unbelievable reward, the magnates who learned the details were not surprised, but praised Knight Jay Lun for his chivalrous demeanor, and because of this, Chen Shihao and they were able to get this land without any backup conditions, of course, I don't know if this reward is good or bad.
"Chen Shihao. The old nobleman read out a name dryly, and when Chen Shihao came up, he handed over a parchment scroll, and then without waiting for Chen Shihao to express his gratitude, he directly pronounced out the next name, and under the quick action of this old nobleman, the 10 nouveau riche didn't have much time to get a parchment scroll.
While the crowd was stunned with their sheepskin curls, the priest made a gesture and shouted, "Take out your identification and your territorial credentials and stack them on top of each other." Hearing this, Chen Shihao was stunned for a moment, and when he saw the others quickly take out the parchment paper that had been palmed when they registered, he came to his senses and did it.
Seeing that everyone was following orders, the priest nodded, and then after some deliberation, he shouted in a singing tone: "Under the witness of God, it is certain that you have the status of a subordinate of the Earl of West! God guarantees that you will not be deprived of your status and territory by anyone on the premise that you will not be accused of blasphemy or rebellion, and if you fulfill your duties as lords." With that, Chen Shihao felt the feeling of skin tension again.
What made Chen Shihao a little stunned was that the identity certificate and the territory certificate both emitted a faint light, of course, this light disappeared as soon as it appeared, as if it had been sealed by the God of Order.
Then, when everyone thought there was some show, the old nobleman saluted the priest, ignored the 10 nouveau riche, and left with two servants, and the priest said, "The ceremony is over, please leave." After speaking, he turned around and left the side hall, and then 10 people walked out of the temple under the urging of the city guards, and as soon as they left the temple, the two city guards also left on their own, leaving only 10 people stunned on the side of the road.
