Chapter 265: Bestowal Ceremony
The ceremony was held in an atmosphere of harmony, and the butler Derek placed a purple cushion embroidered with various patterns in front of the steps, and motioned for Able to step forward.
Abel was no stranger to the award, and he stepped forward and threw himself down on one knee, looking solemnly ahead.
To the surprise of all the elven councillors, Grand Duke Edwina took a silver sword from Derek's hand and tapped it on Abel's left and right shoulders, then placed a medallion symbolizing status on his chest, and ended the ceremony without saying any of the usual guardianship oaths required for the bestowal.
In fact, it's no wonder that Grand Duke Edwina, Abel's identity is too embarrassing, as a human being, if it weren't for the transformation necklace, Grand Duke Edwina would not consider giving him a noble status like an elf lord at all, because as long as Grand Duke Edwina granted Abel the status of an elf lord, it is equivalent to recognizing Abel's elf identity, no matter what kind of disguise there is a day when it is exposed, only the necklace made by the moon goddess, from the internal structure of the body to the external form is completely transformed into an elf, in order to ensure that as long as Abel does not take the initiative to expose, it will not be discovered。
Of course, there are a few elves in the royal family who have seen the transformation necklace, but Grand Duke Edwina believes that those in the royal family will not say it even if they know about Abel's relationship with her.
All the guardian oaths at the elven nobles award ceremony are aimed at the elves, and Abel is a human being, and the oath is not binding on Abel, so Grand Duke Dewina thinks that it is better not to say the guardian oath.
The medal on Abel's chest is a Lord's Medal of Nobles, because there is no fief, so he does not have the power to customize the coat of arms, and can only use the Lord's Medal of Nobles to show his noble status.
"I'm looking for you!" When the award ceremony had just ended, Abel had changed into a white close-fitting dress with the help of Brewer, and was leisurely drinking juice in the lounge, waiting for the luncheon held for him at noon at the Grand Duke's Palace, when Carrie suddenly appeared beside him and glanced at Brewer who was standing beside him.
"Master, honorable Lady Carrie, I'll take my leave!" said Brewer, who quickly bowed and walked backwards out of the lounge.
"Lady Carrie, what's the matter with me?" Abel put down the juice in his hand and bowed slightly, this sister of Loraine has a magical power, that is, every time she appears, it will suddenly interrupt people's good mood.
"The sale of the 'Elven Perfume' will be carried out in the Grand Duke's Palace!" said in a flat voice.
"But I don't plan to sell the 'Elf Perfume'!" Abel muttered softly, indeed, he is not bad now, and the really bad resources are not something that can be purchased with gold coins.
Abercha's resources are fresh crystal nuclei, and other resources can be exchanged for wealth, but this kind of fresh crystal nuclei that cannot be preserved can only be obtained by participating in the hunting of spirit beasts, which makes fresh crystal nuclei an extremely important resource, but there is nowhere to trade.
"It's Mother's decision!" Carrie replied to Abel's complaint in a flat voice.
To Abel's madness, Carrie's attitude was full of saying that she would give the 'Elf Perfume' to the Grand Duke's Mansion to sell, whether you meant to sell it or not, because this was Grand Duke Edwina's request, and Able had no way to say no again.
"Lady Carrie, you are such a good lobbyist, I will send the first batch of 'Elven Perfume' in the next few days!" Abel said with a prickly bow.
As if she didn't hear the meaning of Abel's words, Carrie continued: "You also need to prepare some 'shampoo' and 'pomade', Master Mara is applying for the honorary alchemy master to the Elven Alchemist Guild for you, whether it is approved or not, your alchemy works will be known to the elves." ”
Looking at the figure that turned around and left after Carrie finished speaking, Abel wanted to catch up and ask, are you elves like this to directly help others make decisions, without asking if the person agrees or not?
At this moment, Carrie's figure suddenly stopped, walked in front of Abel again, took out a space bag from his arms and threw it to him, and said, "Here are some materials. ”
As Able took the space bag, Carrie turned away and disappeared outside the reception room door.
This space bag is embroidered with a cute giant bear, unlike all the giant bears that Abel has ever seen, this giant bear makes people who see it see at first glance, this is a female bear, and very cute, he smiled, he didn't expect such a cool elf like Carrie to like to use such a style of patterns.
Spiritual power probed into the space bag in his hand, which was neatly placed 'elf perfume', 'lotion', 'pomade' and many commonly used materials for alchemy potions, and Abel also found some valuable potion raw materials in it, these alchemy materials filled a cubic space bag to the brim.
It's a pity that Abel has been looking for the main material of the 'anti-aging elixir' has not found a single one, it seems that the anti-aging grass is a very rare material, but he doesn't know where to get it, of course he is not preparing it for himself, he is still very young, he thinks of his mother Nala, and preparing it for Luo Lan in advance.
Thinking of Master Mara's application for the honorary alchemy master to the Elven Alchemist Guild for him, Abel's heart couldn't help but rise with a wave of emotion, which reminded him that when he was learning blacksmith skills, Master Bentham also used the only opportunity in his life to apply for the blacksmith master assessment for him, although he didn't know how many opportunities Master Mara had to apply for honorary alchemists, but he knew that this kind of opportunity would definitely not be many.
"Master, the banquet will begin soon!" Brewer, the butler, reminded Abel as he appeared beside him.
Abel heard Brewer's reminder and hung the space bag on his waist, at this time he was very careful, if the space bag given by Carrie was thrown into the Hradik cube or personal storage box, but he couldn't tell why, because this white elf dress was very slim, the clothes were completely attached to the body, and even the space bag he used to use hung around his waist.
"Lord Bennett has arrived!"
With the loud announcement of Derek, the butler of the Grand Duke's Palace, Abel walked into the banquet hall, and Derek did not continue to stay at the door, but changed to another steward, and he followed behind Abel, his task today is to lead Abel and introduce him to the nobles present one by one.
The elven nobles who had already arrived heard the voice and turned their heads to look at Abel, some nodded and smiled at Abel, and some ignored it, but the twelve elven councilors were very friendly at this time, and they came forward to greet him and say some words of congratulations, and Derek introduced each elf councilor who stepped forward for him from time to time.
The behavior of the twelve elven councillors surprised the elves present, these elven councillors with eyes above the top are not so easy to get along with, although this is a welcome banquet for Lord Bennett, in fact, it is just to bring the nobles together in this name, this is a tradition, not many elven nobles present will care about a lord who has no fiefdom.
What surprised the elves present even more was Derek's attitude, although Derek was only a steward, he was the steward of the city lord's mansion in Anjost City, and he was almost the most powerful elf in Anjost City under the elven councilors, even the elven councillors would not offend him, but his attitude was completely a humble attitude of serving the master.
The elves have all kinds of speculations about Abel's identity, which is different from when Abel first came in, and many elves have taken the initiative to greet Abel in a friendly manner.
Just when Abel lamented that elves and humans were also very practical creatures, and they were not as beautiful as they imagined in their exquisite appearance, a message came from the door.
"Honorable Master Mara has arrived!"
"Master Mara is here?" The elves around looked at the very young female elf who came in at the door with great curiosity, and the master Mara at this time was much, much younger than the old master Mara in the perception of all elves.
"Is this Master Mara, my deity, is there something wrong with my eyes?" exclaimed one of the elven councillors.
"I said, you just didn't believe it, now you believe it!" said Councilor Crocker, turning to the elven Councilor.
