Quincy. After Xia Jason, he was a middle-aged knight, but Fang Xin paid special attention to him, the reason was very simple, this knight's eyes were deep and sharp, and there was a faint sense of rhythm on his body, in this case, Fang Xin certainly understood that this was the strength of a knight who had been on the battlefield for a long time and had superb skills, and had broken through the tenth-level mark.

The little baron, with this retainer, is no wonder that he can seize this opportunity to become an earl all at once.

"Now in the name of King Jody III of the Kingdom of Rebia, Isaac is canonized. Burroughs was hereditary knight and bestowed a fiefdom. Count Hamish said, and he was mild towards his chief knight - since this realm was in the kingdom of Rebia, the natural procedure was not the same as the name.

Isaac. Burroughs scrupulously followed the procedure, bowed, was blessed, and then got up. \\\\\\

The third is the envoy of the Grand Duke, this middle-aged man, his expression is pale and cold, his face is angular, this gentleman already has a knighthood - viscount, so the ceremony has changed a little.

It was not a canonization, but a simple grant to the fie, and the earl reported the name - Charley. Viscount Kennan, and this Viscount stepped forward and bowed, giving a sense of composure and competence.

The sacrosanctity of hereditary domains is also the germ of the sanctity of private property in later generations, even the archduke and the king of the lord of a country cannot deprive the hereditary nobles of their territories and give them to their cronies, so although this man with the title of viscount may be a court nobleman with only one manor, and now, through this opportunity, he has made up for some territories, which can also be said to be the good intentions of the archduke

The first three people have already passed, and below, they are waiting for Fang Xin.

Fang Xin, who was wearing a magic robe, was very young and different. When he stood up, all eyes were on him, including the Grand Duke's envoy.

"Now in the name of Henry XI of the Duchy of Jenkinson, canonized Daniel. Fix was a hereditary knight and was bestowed a fiefdom. Count Hamish said with a smile.

Fang Xin knelt down on one knee: "I swear that I will be loyal to my lord Grand Duke Henry, and as a vassal I will be your loyal assistant, as long as my knowledge and strength allow." \\\\\\ I will counsel and help you with my earthly duty and myself, and I will not deceive or rebel so that you may maintain and exercise the authority that God has given you! ”

After saying that, he also accepted the blessing of the priest of the goddess of spring water before getting up, and then bowed to the earl and took the file of the system.

Even when the Church of Light was at its peak, the royal power had won quite a few privileges. It was stipulated that all nobles with hereditary titles were not subject to direct arrest and trial by the Inquisition. Unless passing through the House of Elders.

The nobility is not subject to direct trial, which is the basis of the existence of the state, and if the nobles can be arrested directly, then all the nobles and kings of the whole continent will be at risk. == and even lead to the disintegration of the country in normal order.

For the Eastern Empire, the so-called aristocracy was only the aristocracy of a dynasty, and in many cases, it was dependent on the imperial power, and it was difficult for them to exist for two or three hundred years from the founding to the demise, so they could not gather the consensus of the nobility.

But for this world, there are less than a hundred years, and more than five hundred years of aristocratic family traditions, so that they have considerable wisdom and consensus. Arresting a nobleman without going through the council of nobles is undoubtedly an enemy of all nobles on the continent - as long as this evil example is opened, the life and territory of the nobles cannot be guaranteed.

This is absolutely intolerable, neither the Church of Light nor the King alike, as for what justice is impartial, the nobles do not believe in it. ^^^^ was arrested. Once you go to prison, how much fairness is there? This is especially the case when the judge, the prosecutor, the jurors, the lawyer, and the prison warden are all one.

So. When Fang Xin took over the title of hereditary knight, he was equivalent to adding a layer of security, of course, there is no absolute, this protection is not firm, if the Church of Light feels a great threat, no one can guarantee its safety.

At this time, Fang Xin just bowed, and then stepped back, and there were four hereditary knights below, and Etger and Bard were naturally inside, they represented the interests of the local lords.

After the two of them accepted the canonization excitedly, they walked back around Fang Xin, and after a while, it was the knight's canonization. =

The knighthood is the main point, and these knights will be given a manor as a fief, which is basically equivalent to a hereditary nobility, but there is no official hereditary title.

Because of the large number of knights, they were divided into three groups, each of about thirty men, and the Count of Hamish drew a sword without a sharp edge, stepped forward, and struck the knights on the shoulders with the blade of the sword one by one, and said: "Be humble, full of humility to the lord and to God, that you may receive grace, and you should value honor, and the praise and gratitude of the people are the highest honor of knights, sacrifice, valor, mercy, spirit, truth, justice, and you must walk with them, and may you always remember them." ”

The knighthood was also in the canonization decree and the atlas to show solemnity, and Cronshaw was knighted in the third batch, and when he received the knighthood, his body even trembled, which fully showed his excitement. ^^^^

The entire canonization process lasted for three hours, and by the time all the canonization was completed, it was already noon. At noon, there was a grand feast, which was not only a celebration, but also a necessary procedure for the new nobles to integrate into high society.

The noonday sun shines through the glass and spills down on the hall, and ten long dining tables have been set up, which of course are arranged according to the title.

Although he was not afraid of strangers, Fang Xin still chose to be with Etteg and Bard.

The two of them were radiant, talking to the people around them, and of course, to Fang Xin.

Speaking of reality, Fang Xin didn't know a few dishes at the banquet, and after listening to Eteger's introduction, he learned that there were wild venison, geese, salmon, eels, cranes, wild ducks, herons, geldings, pheasants, partridges, swans, etc., and even peacock meat and some precious fresh water......

It is said that this is still a relatively common diet, and outside, roast cattle and roast sheep are cooked, and the servants will cut the fattest parts and send them inside.

The aristocracy began to eat and drink heavily, which was not elegant at all—among the nobility, greed and gluttony accounted for almost half of the totality, so it was not uncommon for the nobles to have a big belly and be full of fat.

After eating some, Etteg said, "Oh, Daniel, I have selected three cadet knights for you, they are all very good knights, they are already level 6, and they can read, etiquette, and tactical command. ==”

"Oh, thank you very much, can you bring them with you tomorrow?"

"Absolutely, I'm sure they'll be happy to get the news." Etteg didn't expect Fang Xin to be so happy, so he said happily: "You don't have to give them a manor, just preside over the knightly canonization for them." ”

The country knights can be canonized by themselves, and they can be replaced by a salary, and it is enough to report the case to the Ta Kung Fu, as for the knights this time, although they have the same name, they actually belong to the knights of the kingdom and have their own estates. ^^

"Of course!" Fang Xin agreed and said.

"Sir Daniel, I heard that you are planning to build a territory in a big way?" At this time, the person sitting nearby spoke, Fang Xin looked at him, those who could sit here were naturally nobles, nodded and said, "I do have this plan, I don't know what your opinion is?" ”

This man was a middle-aged man, he laughed, and said slowly: "The five manors you have newly acquired belong to Sir Ninan's territory, which is quite fertile and does not need to be developed, but your other estates are very barren. ”

"Ten years ago, I also wanted to buy this territory, after all, the rivers there can be transported if they are properly dredged and can reach small boats, and the timber from the mountains is also a good commodity, and secondly, some dikes and canals can be built, which can irrigate a large amount of land, but to develop these resources I am afraid that it will take quite a lot of financial support, sir, maybe you need some cooperation?"

Hearing this, Fang Xin already understood his thoughts, and he smiled and said, "I'm sorry, I haven't asked your name yet?" ”

The middle-aged man was not in the slightest bit unhappy, and he said with a smile: "I am Sir Borga, the president of the Glish Chamber of Commerce, and the president of the Glish Bank. ”

Now the main business of the bank is usury, and for a new lord, the bank can lend money, either as a help or as a heavy debt burden.

The construction of any territory, of course, must first consume a lot of wealth for infrastructure construction, and then create more wealth, of course, the old family has its own channels and funds, and the new nobles can accept and be influenced by the bank and the chamber of commerce - Fang Xin now has 60,000 gold lake funds, presiding over the overall construction of the entire territory, can not be said to be satisfied, and there are generally seven or eight percent.

On this basis, the risk is much less, so Fang Xin did not refuse, and said: "Sir Borga, I am glad to hear this news, we can continue to talk tomorrow?" ”

In any case, the chamber of commerce and the banks have now begun to wield tremendous strength, and it is naturally better to have a good relationship, at least, in terms of material trading and circulation, which will be quite convenient.

When the banquet was over, Fang Xin went to see the lower earl again, and was encouraged and courted by him, and Fang Xin also said that when the construction of the territory was over, he would go to the new earldom to meet the earl.

In this way, it naturally came to an end, Fang Xin did not participate in the carnival below, I have to say that the identity of a magician is still quite useful, and he can use this to avoid many troubles.
