Chapter 741: Elf knighthood

It was still the same hall where the last medal was conferred, and the twelve elven councillors remained the same, six of them on each side were on either side.

In the center sat Grand Duke Edwina and Duke Elbert, at this time Grand Duke Edwina had become younger, and he used to look like he was in his thirties because of the use of 'shampoo' and 'pomade', but now he looked like he was twenty years old.

I don't know if it's Abel's delusion, but he always felt that four of the twelve elven councillors looked at him very warmly.

Can it not be enthusiastic?

Other elves rarely had access to Grand Duke Edwina, but they did.

Just after Lady Carrie returned from looking for the Anti-Aging Herb to refine the 'Anti-Aging Elixir' with several Lady Carrie and Abel, not only did Lady Carrie's face change slightly, but Grand Duke Edwina underwent a drastic change.

The current Grand Duke of Edwina is so young at her age, how can she not let these female elf councilors who have guessed the inside story go crazy.

Not to mention the female elven councillors, even the male elven councillors have ideas about the effects of the 'anti-aging potion'.

It's just that all the elves know that the refining of the 'anti-aging elixir' is very difficult, and the anti-aging grass in it is even fresher, and it must be refined on the spot just after it is collected, which is precisely because of this, so that these male elf councilors are not confident in getting the 'anti-aging elixir'.

"Master Bennett, for your contribution to the druids of Anjost City, and for your outstanding performance in alchemy, the Council of Anjost City has negotiated a baronial title on you and granted you a fief!" Grand Duke Edwina proclaimed, looking at Abel.

"Grand Duke Xie!" Abel bowed and saluted.

He didn't say anything about loyalty, allegiance or anything like that, if he had put it in the past, he could have said it casually, but now his identity is different, as a king, even in the midst of transformation, he can't be loyal to others.

He didn't even say allegiance to the royal family of the Duchy of St. Alice, let alone the Grand Duke of the Elven Clan.

Of course, Grand Duke Edwina also understands Abel's position very well, and more importantly, this knighthood is more for the benefit of the elves, and although the relationship between her and Abel has eased somewhat, it has not been fully restored.

Grand Duke Edwina knows this, and Abel also knows this, and with the improvement of Abel's status, the relationship between them has changed from the beginning of Grand Duke Edwina suppressing Abel to the current completely equal relationship.

Duke Elbert, who was watching all this from the sidelines, couldn't help but think of the scene when he first met Abel, and thought of what he said at that time.

Grand Duke Edwina said at the time: "According to his current development, I am afraid that in twenty years he may be able to talk to us on an equal footing!"

And now less than two years have passed, Abel has grown into an equal status with them, although Abel is still only a junior wizard, but his identity as a blacksmith grandmaster, and his results in killing three or four senior wizards, all show that Abel has surpassed them in terms of identity and strength.

The twelve councillors were also a little confused at this time, this time the knighthood was indeed discussed by the parliament, and the proposal was put forward by the Duke of Elbert.

For an elven honorary alchemy master, who of the twelve councilors will stand in the way?

Although the twelve councilors looked like the most powerful elves in Anjost City, in fact, they each represented the great nobles behind them, and these great nobles would never allow them to offend an elven honorary alchemist.

It is not high for the elf honorary alchemy master to seal a baron, although a fief does not say where, but it is not from them, it is from the city of Anjost and from the hands of the Grand Duke of Edwina.

It's just that this Master Bennett didn't have allegiance to the knighthood last time, and this time he was named a baron and gave the territory, but he still didn't have allegiance, which is a bit unreasonable.

Because the baron is given a territory, which means that it is a heraldic noble, and the heraldic nobles of the Holy Continent are very important, and such a heavy reward does not have an oath of allegiance.

But what is even more strange is that Grand Duke Edwina did not have any objections, and even Duke Elbert on the side had a smile on his face and was not dissatisfied.

Duke Elbert had a smile on his face, because he had now remembered the news he had received from the butler Derek that Abel was going to give him a bottle of 'anti-skin potion' for his birthday.

To be honest, he has long wanted the 'anti-beauty potion', not only because he also cares so much about his appearance.

Of course, his appearance was very important to him, but more importantly, his wife, Grand Duke Edwina, had become extremely young, like a girl, which made him look a little old.

Although the other elves didn't say anything, for more than a year, he always felt that there was a hidden meaning in the eyes of the other elves.

But let him personally ask Abel for a bottle of 'anti-beauty potion', he couldn't say it, he didn't want to lose his dignity in front of Abel, and he also knew that the 'anti-aging potion' was too precious.

So he calculated that this knighthood was only a few days away from his birthday, and through the mouth of the butler Derek, he told Abel what he wanted in the name of Lady Carrie.

At this time, he was struggling with his calculations, completely oblivious to the twelve elven councilors and Grand Duke Edwina watching him.

"Master Bennett, your fief will be taken by Derek to receive it, and if you need anything, just talk to him!" Grand Duke Edwina pointed to Derek, the butler, and said to Abel with a smile.

"Thank you, Grand Duke!" Abel bowed again.

The knighthood ceremony is not complicated, although the knighthood is a major event for every elf in it, but for the Grand Duke's Palace, which manages the city of Anjost, it is just a daily government affairs.

So after the knighthood ceremony, when Able walked out of the hall, only the butler Derek left with him, and the other elves continued to discuss other matters.

"Steward Derek, is my territory far from Anjost City?" Abel asked as he walked.

"Master Bennett, your territory is not far away, but the geographical location is a little special!" replied Steward Derek.

The silver-white carriage stopped at the door of the Grand Duke's Palace, and Kurt, the half-elf coachman, saw Abel's arrival, and hurriedly jumped out of the carriage and opened the door for Abel.

Able got into the carriage and made an inviting gesture to Butler Derek.

"Master Bennett, this is my place!" said Decek Butler as he bowed in thanks and pointed to the chariot.

Butler Derek is very aware of Abel's identity, Abel is not only an honorary alchemist, he is also a person recognized by Lady Loraine.

And he also found that both the Grand Duke Edwina and the Duke of Elbert showed enough respect for Abel.

He didn't know what had happened in the nearly two years since Abel left, but he could clearly see that compared to two years ago and now, Abel's identity must have undergone any major changes.

Although he didn't know what this change was, and he hadn't heard of the change in Master Bennett's identity, as an old man in the Grand Duke's Mansion, he could see the change from the expressions of the two masters of the Grand Duke's Mansion.

So he was even more respectful, and he put his identity in the same position as Abel's butler.

"Let's go to the Australasian Palace!" said Derek's butler in a small voice, telling Abel and Kurt the coachman.

"Steward Derek, can you tell me about the Aoya Palace, is my territory near there?" Abel was very unfamiliar with this place name, and of course he was not familiar with most of the place names in the Double Moon Forest.

"Master Bennett, your territory is the valley where the Aoya Palace is located, it is a beautiful place, one of the most beautiful palaces in the entire Twin Moon Forest!" said Draek's butler with pride in his eyes.

Abel didn't expect that this fief would be the location of a palace, which should be the palace of the Grand Duke's Palace.

The silver-white carriage departed from the Grand Duke's Palace, and along the way, all the carriages would automatically back off from it, which made the carriage run almost all the way out of the city.
