As Roland fell asleep, Lyudmila and Tonya were unexpectedly informed of the privilege of being invited to the palace banquet hall to receive His Majesty's reward along with several cabinet elites and prominent scholars. The two ladies were awarded the title of life nobility and the title of "Knight of the Order of the Royal Order of Merit of the First Class" for their great contribution to the completion of the important mission of the homeland.

The "Royal Knight" is not an extraordinary profession, but a rank in the "life nobility" system practiced by the Kingdom of Koras. Although this title was not a high rank in the entire aristocratic system and could not be hereditary, it was one of the highest honors that could be obtained by the common people, especially among the civil service. In fact, this title of nobility was primarily created to recognize outstanding civil servants and prominent scholars.

After the ceremony, Lyudmila and Tonya sat around His Majesty the King with the other awardees and took a group photo with the "Saizeriya Photography Technique". Since you have been promoted to a nobleman, you must pay attention to a little aristocratic pomp. Although the picture captured by the photography technique is very realistic, it lacks a bit of artistic style after all.

After the luncheon, the new men and women still changed into the magnificent aristocratic costumes, such as ribbons, tassels, lace, medals, swords and scepters, and sat in the palace banquet hall in this cumbersome costume, and invited the painters who served the new nobles to perform their duties, and kept the most glorious moments of the ladies and gentlemen's lives on the canvas with skillful brushes and oil paints.

Lyudmila and Tonya returned to the cabinet office with their respective portraits, and while they were still joking with each other, Roland barged in with his messy hair.

"Huh? Am I not mistaken? This is ......" Roland looked at the two oil paintings on the opposite wall, the two young ladies in full costume were beautiful and elegant, and their faces were vaguely familiar, he turned his head to look at Lyudmila and Tonya who had changed into regular clothes and smiled, and did not dare to recognize them for a while.

"Why, do you have any grievances against the two daemins?" Lyudmila asked Roland, with a hint of ostentation in her playful smile.

"Oh, yes! Today is your knighthood day, look at my memory! Roland patted his head in annoyance, "I was thinking of congratulating you, but I forgot about it when I fell asleep." ”

"We thought you didn't know beforehand and were going to surprise you." Tonya pursed her lips and smiled.

"What a coincidence, I also planned to surprise you and didn't reveal it, but unfortunately I overslept." Roland felt remorseful and tried to make amends, "Dinner is please, as a congratulatory meal, you still have two hours to decide on the dishes." ”

"You and Mira go, someone like me who can only eat a few greens will only spoil your appetite," Tonya seemed less interested, "The title of nobility seems to be contrary to the spiritual realm pursued by the Green Druid, and I don't know if it is right or wrong to accept this honor." ”

"What does the title of nobility have to do with your spiritual pursuits, and if you can't be a nobleman at the same time?" Lyudmila couldn't understand her concerns, "The Adric family in the North Bay has been the lord of the 'Eagle Island' for generations, and Sir Adric is a true nobleman, don't people also practice the druid's natural island?" ”

"Sir Adric is a hereditary nobleman, and I have no choice of family background, and I could have refused this honor, Teacher Valentina has taught us to treat all living beings in nature equally, and the title of nobility seems to have a superior flavor......" Tonya was afraid of being criticized by her teacher for losing her "heart of nature".

Roland sensed the hesitation in her heart, and smiled to comfort her to relax: "This is just a lifelong nobleman, not a hereditary nobleman, just an honorary title, and it does not conflict with your druid beliefs, if you are really not at ease, I ask His Majesty the King to also confer a knighthood on Lady Valgentina, so that she has no reason to blame you." ”

Tonya laughed at his whimsical idea, and her mood was much better.

Roland continued to admire the pictures of the two secretaries and girls in costumes, until Lyudmila asked him angrily, "Is the painting more beautiful than people?" and then retracted his gaze embarrassedly, solemnly saying that the beautiful woman with a vivid color is of course a hundred times better than the dull oil painting, but in his heart he was thinking about how to persuade the two female secretaries to change into the luxurious clothes in the baroque style on the oil painting. A lively female secretary is good, but doesn't the occasional cosplay or "uniform temptation" also help to liven up the office atmosphere?

Considering that telling the truth will inevitably be regarded as a pervert by the girls, Roland can only hide these obscene thoughts in his heart, and said to Lyudmila and Tonya: "I have worked hard for you during this time, and now that the census work has not officially started, do you want to accompany me to the countryside for a short vacation trip?" ”

"Of course!" Lyudmila clapped her hands excitedly and couldn't wait to ask, "Have you already planned where you plan to take us to play?" ”

"The beginning of October is the corn harvest season in the north, which is the last wave of crops harvested in a large area this year, and I plan to go to the commune where corn is grown in the north to see how the harvest is going." Roland turned to look at Tonya and smiled slightly, "Tomorrow morning we will teleport to the town of Big Rabbit's Nest first, and from there we will take a special train to the Valley Village Commune. ”

"Is this true? That's great! Tonya cheered in surprise when she learned that she was about to return to the place where she had worked.

……

The autumn morning sun stains the horizon red, and the clear blue sky has no clouds. Fifteen minutes and eight o'clock, the morning train was still nowhere to be seen, and groups of travelers had gathered at the train platform of the "Big Rabbit's Nest Town", most of them were dwarf merchants with bags on their backs, planning to go to the countryside to peddle around, and some strangers in adventurer's costumes, with weapons hidden under their cloaks, and their demeanor was quite kind, and the topics discussed with their companions were probably related to hunting wild beasts.

"The beasts are the most rampant in the autumn harvest, and these guys are quite clever enough to go down the mountain before the harvest to eat a big meal, and to get enough fat to survive the winter."

"If the beasts are left alone, a year's harvest will soon be ruined, and in order to deal with those fierce fellows, the stingy countrymen will have to pay for hunting experts like us!"

"I heard that the wild boar in Poplar Village is flooded, and the village office has offered a reward to recruit hunters, and the reward for killing an adult wild boar is 5 gold tales, how about everyone go together to make a fortune?"

"Forget it, herds of wild boars are very difficult to entangle, and I have a brother who suffered a big loss when hunting wild boars, and he can't do without crutches for the rest of his life! It's better to go to the windless country to hunt bears, and the bounty for killing a bear is 7 gold talers! ”
