Chapter 716: Joke Canonization
The Benson patriarch, who was originally brittle on the ground, trembled all over his body at this time, the arrival of the two high-level wizards, and directly characterized the behavior of the Principality of Thunder as encroaching on the interests of Abel, although he didn't understand the reason, but this could already make the Principality of Thunder pay a great price.
And what would happen to the Benson family, who had introduced the Principality of Thunder to Gomba City, he didn't dare to imagine.
"Grandmaster Abel, I asked Moulton, and he said that you are here, and it just so happens that I have something to announce here, so I don't need to trouble you to make another trip!" said Senior Wizard Dunn with some mystery.
Abel couldn't help but wonder, there was something that he needed to come to Gomba City to announce!
"Hoover, it's good that you're here, and the nobles in the city will let you know later, Wizard Lorenzo, you can make an announcement!" said Senior Wizard Dunn to Grand Knights Hoover on the side.
"The George family of the Principality of Kamai has been verified to have a history of trading with the Orc Empire, and has traded a large amount of military and cultivation materials to the Orc Empire, and what they have done has caused great harm to the human race, and its nature is to betray the race, and the Human Wizards Guild and the Kingdom of St. Ellis have unanimously decided to abolish the Duke title of Algernon George, and all his family will be exiled!" Lorenzo Senior Wizard announced in a deep voice.
Archknight Hoover and Patriarch Benson were taken aback, for the severity of the punishment was unprecedented.
You must know that nobles, especially nobles who have reached the rank of duke, basically have the right to be exempted from crimes, and they can use huge donations to atone for their crimes, which is the greatest right of nobles.
Today, the punishment is directly the reduction of the king of the Duchy of Kamai, Algernon Georges, to a commoner, and his family's exile is even more terrible, in a desolate place near the Budapest Mountains.
If it is a powerful knight or wizard, it may be possible to survive there, but it is almost impossible for ordinary people to survive in a place where there is a shortage of living materials and spirit beasts often appear.
However, it is not surprising to hear that the conviction is for treason against race.
Among the unpardonable sins of the nobility, the sin of betrayal of the race is the most serious.
It's just that now that the Principality of Kamai has no royal family, so where will the Principality of Kamai go, Grand Knight Hoover couldn't help but think of what Senior Wizard Dunn said just now about encroaching on Abel's interests, is it ......
"Grandmaster Abel, you have gained a great deal of battle merit in the battle to protect the Miracle Wall, and the Miracle Spirit has submitted your request for the knighthood of your battle exploits to the Noble Administration, and His Majesty Ambrose of the Kingdom of St. Ellis has canonized you as a duke and the Duchy of Kamai as your domain!" Senior Wizard Lorenzo then announced.
Grand Knight Hoover and Patriarch Benson both had strange expressions on their faces, and they both thought of one thing at the same time, that is, the George family was exiled from the Duchy of Kamai, and then the title of Duke of Carmel was vacated, and then Abel was canonized as the Duke of Duchy Kamai.
There are too many things that do not conform to the logic of noble canonization, the first is the war knighthood, because the battle process of the Wall of Miracles is only spread among the empires and wizarding guilds, so neither the Grand Knight of Hoover nor the Patriarch Benson know much about this battle.
Grand Knight Hoover was the only Grand Knight Captain of the Duchy of Kamai, which made it impossible for him to leave the Duchy of Kamai for a long time, so he was not well informed.
Therefore, he and Patriarch Benson couldn't imagine what kind of military exploits it would take to be directly crowned a duke, you must know that canonized dukes are already the highest titles among all canonizations, like the princely title of the next step, only a few royal families in each empire can have the title of prince.
The Duke who is not a member of the royal family is already the top title, and unless Abel marries the princess of the empire in the future, the Duke will never be promoted again.
Another point that is illogical is that such a big thing as the canonization of a duke, there is not even a canonization ceremony, and it is completed like child's play.
In this matter, even His Majesty Ambrose of the Kingdom of St. Ellis has no choice, do you want him to hold a canonization ceremony and let Grandmaster Abel kneel in front of him to pay allegiance to him?
Abel's status as a blacksmith grandmaster in the Holy Continent is extremely high, and he has the full support of the dwarven clan behind him, coupled with the fact that his relationship with the elven clan is very ambiguous, which makes His Majesty Ambrose worry about how to canonize it.
Abel's identity is transcendent in the Holy Continent, although he is a wizard, according to the rules, he can't meddle in worldly affairs, but his identity as a blacksmith grandmaster is much higher than that of a junior wizard, so when wizards see Abel, they will call him grandmaster.
His Majesty Ambrose, who had no choice, finally listened to the advice of the eldest prince Alec and left the matter of canonization of the duke to the wizards' guild.
Abel was a little skeptical that he had misheard, he didn't have much connection with the Principality of Kamai before, who knew that the situation suddenly reversed, and the Principality of Kamai turned out to be his.
Although he is a duke, in the Holy Continent, the duke who has the territory of the principality is called the king, and he becomes the king of the Duchy of Kamai!
"Grandmaster Abel, you must know that the knighthood of war merits is the foundation of human beings on this continent, countless knights and wizards have sacrificed their lives to protect the human world, and the human race gives back to them is the knighthood, your combat exploits on the Miracle Wall are too high, so high that you can only be rewarded with a country!"
"Wizard Dunn, Wizard Lorenzo, this canonization is too surprising to me, I have no experience in managing a country at all, and as a wizard, I don't have much time to manage a country!" Abel couldn't help but shake his head and smiled bitterly.
"Grandmaster Abel, in fact, such a principality is very easy to manage, all affairs are managed by nobles at all levels, you just need to appoint the right nobles!" Senior Wizard Dunn said with a smile.
Unbeknownst to Abel, these principalities, which had existed for many generations, had long been governed by customization, and the king's main task was to deal with some foreign affairs and confer some new nobles.
For example, some nobles in the Principality of Kamai manage their own domains, and each nobleman has passed on the knowledge and experience of his or her own domain, and it is this inheritance that keeps the entire Principality of Kamai functioning normally.
"Grandmaster Abel, you may be the first king to be canonized by the Wizards' Guild!" said Senior Wizard Lorenzo with a smile.
"I, the Benson family, swear to the honorable His Majesty King Abel that I will always be loyal to His Majesty King Abel and never betray!" Patriarch Benson had already reacted at this time, and he said in a loud voice.
Abel couldn't help but sigh in his heart, this Benson patriarch is really good at scheming, the first loyalist at this time has never refused in history, and the Benson family wanted to rebel against the George family before, which has nothing to do with him.
Even Grand Knight Hoover couldn't help but shake his head, deeply impressed by what Patriarch Benson had done.
Of course, Abel will not refuse this kind of allegiance, knowing that it is not so easy to control a principality, and with the allegiance of the Benson family, it will be of great help to him to control the principality.
"I accept the allegiance of the Benson family!" Abel stepped forward to help the Benson patriarch and said in a deep voice.
Patriarch Benson's old face was already smiling, as the first family to be loyal to the new king, his position in the Duchy of Kamai would be very secure in the future, especially since he introduced the Duchy of Thunder to the Duchy of Kamai, due to the change of king, it was no longer a problem.
"Grand Knight Hoover, please help me keep the palace as it is!" Abel said to Grand Knight Hoover again.
"I, Hoover, swear to His Majesty the Honorable King Abel that I will always be loyal to His Majesty King Abel and never betray!"
"I accept your allegiance!" Abel said, quickly stepping forward to help Grand Knight Hoover up.
"Grand Knight Hoover, you don't have to do this!" After helping Grand Knight Hoover up, Able said with some reproach.
Because the Grand Knight Chiefs were generally noble in the various principalities, they did not have to owe allegiance to the king, and they were almost the same as the king's status in the principalities.
However, the allegiance of Grand Knights of Hoover is the greatest support for Abel, who has just mastered the Duchy of Kamai, and it is also sincere.
Abel turned his head to look at the palace in front of him at this time, and then looked at the city outside the palace, his gaze seemed to go beyond the distance, and the entire Principality of Kamai became the Principality of the Harry family in this drama!
