Chapter 582: The Allegiance of One Hundred and Seventy-Two Knights
Ms. Masty wouldn't have hurried to the meal if she hadn't had something to do. After all, Anne is the daughter of the Marquis, and she still understands this bit of social etiquette.
"Al, I'm going to prepare some snacks for my mother. ”
After Anne took her leave, Ms. Masty took a sip of black tea before she became blunt.
"Did you take a lot of the noble children of the imperial capital into the dungeon?"
"Yes, Mother. Is there any identity trouble in there?"
The justifiable blackmail aristocracy was taught to him by the previous Lady Masty, how could he persuade him to be kind in this life.
"It's not a problem, the Grand Duke specifically asked me to tell you to pay attention to proportion. At this time, the war on the mainland has started, and only our Eagle Empire is out of the matter, and some people hope that our four families will be in chaos. ”
"Who?"
Seeing that the Iron Duke specially asked Lady Masty to warn Al, Al couldn't help but start paying attention to the conspiracy behind it.
"The Grand Duke didn't say it, and I don't know very well. ”
"But you're qualified to know things now. ”
"Our four families are all subordinates of the Eagle Empire, and although they compete with each other by unscrupulous means, they also keep the bottom line and help each other. The decline of any one of the four families is not good for the other three. ”
"This is the sacred oath of the four ancestors and the first Eagle King. ”
"This contains the secret of the eternal existence of the ancestral spirit, I don't know how many people want to steal it, but only the patriarchs of the four clans can know. ”
"The Grand Duke is afraid that you will escalate the trouble to the four families without knowing the severity of the matter, so that foreign enemies can take advantage of it, so he specially asked me to instruct you. ”
The Spirit of the Ancestors has always been a secret that Al wants to study.
Whether they are alive or dead, in what form they remain in the world, whether they are separated from the body and go further or live in the world waiting for recovery.
It's a pity that even if Al becomes the fourth in line to the throne, he doesn't have the right to look at them.
Now the mother revealed that the four families can hinder the promotion of the other party's strong people to keep themselves competitive, but the bottom line is not to let the other party fall out of the four families.
It seems that the reason for the common existence of the four legendary families is related to whether the spirit of the ancestors can last forever.
Now some people want the irritable Al to involve the four families behind these nobles, triggering irreconcilable infighting and breaking the bottom line of the four families' default obligations.
But Al dragged the Bright Empire into the war in advance, just for the sake of the stability of the Eagle Empire and its stable development.
Since Madam Masty had brought the Grand Duke's warning, Al had a sense of proportion.
"I see, Mother. ”
Lady Makety had tasted Anne's handmade treats before returning to Iron Blood.
"Al, what's the matter with Mother coming?"
Anne grew up without a mother and was very fond of Al's mother. No one knew how eager the mother's cry was.
"I'm afraid I'll get into trouble and tell me, it's nothing. ”
Al took Anne's hand and walked slowly to the bedroom.
Anne's face flushed all at once.
"Ah...... Al You...... Don't you read today?"
"You're a book I can't get enough of. ”
The next day, Al didn't bother the nobles.
As long as someone sends compensation according to the rules, no matter how much, they will be put back.
If someone is instigated to trouble Al on the pretext that his title is higher than All's, Al will not pay attention to it.
Directly stripped the children of their family and hung them at the door, and solved this trouble in a purely aristocratic way.
Anyway, as long as Al didn't deliberately come to the door to do it, no one would dare to really retaliate against the heir of the Iron Blood Family, and they would have been at the loss.
If Al had come to the door, it wouldn't have been a matter of killing a few people.
Al prepares for his and Anne's wedding, one by one, solving the chores that need to be dealt with by him.
He crafted three mechanical intelligent air minions, one for Matilda to assist him in handling the affairs of the realm efficiently for Al.
One to give Anne by her side to protect her.
The last one, Al gave Jay.
The more gifted a person is, the less likely he is to accept that he or she will be sold into slavery.
There were four people in the laboratory, and in the end, only the down-and-out nobleman who lost the honor of his ancestor, Jie, came to his mansion.
Accepted his harsh and lucrative contract and remained loyal to him for the rest of his life.
After taking leave from the academy and the teacher, Sotur also came to the Al Mansion and signed a contract with him to be dispatched.
Hall, the last person Al was waiting for, finally arrived after half a month.
He was accompanied by a group of knightly candidates commissioned by the Adventurers' Guild.
Al, who has the dual identity of the fourth heir to the throne of the Iron Blood Family and the Viscount of Flame, naturally has a higher weight than the knightly honor of ordinary barons and viscounts.
This could be the birth of a powerful new family, or it could be an opportunity for them to join the Iron Blood, and there is no shortage of conscripts who have turned around from the frontline battlefield.
There are also many excellent knights who are nobles themselves but lose their titles like Jie, and are inspired to restore their family honor.
There were teenagers who had just reached the fifth level, and there were also veterans who had passed the tenth level, and the total number of them was far more than thirty-six, and they saluted in front of Al in black and pressing.
Dressed in a viscount gown, Al stood in front of them with a blank face, deservedly honored.
"One hundred and seventy-two people, not much, I gave the knight title. ”
A huge magic circle suddenly lit up in the sky, and a knight's long sword that was exactly the same black and heavy, full of texture fell in front of everyone.
The sharp blade of the sword radiates a terrifying glow.
"When I draw my sword, I accept your allegiance, and I promise you the honor and wealth that is commensurate."
"But I don't accept any betrayal. ”
One hundred and seventy-two people looked at each other, but they didn't expect Al to be ready to take them all.
However, the quota released by Al is only three barons, and twelve knights are titled.
They couldn't help but get excited, could it be that more places came from the Iron Blood Family?
Can they join the Iron Blood, one of the four legendary families?
Al knew exactly what they were thinking, but he wasn't prepared to explain that much to these people.
These people will not follow Sotur and them into the goblin plane, and of course the viscount Gatur will not be able to accommodate so many knights.
But Al's vision is not what a small viscount can hold.
The great shaman's revenge for his death, he must avenge it with his own hands!
"I don't like, I don't answer any questions, just leave if you don't want to. ”
Whether it is an old man or a young man, as long as Al fulfills the honor he promised, they are willing to sacrifice their loyalty.
Together, they chanted the knight's proverbs and pledged their allegiance to Al.
"I swear to obey the virtues of knighthood, to offer you our loyalty, and to give you a sword in your hand. ”
