266 Investiture ceremony, twelve paladins

Lin Yong smiled, "I'm not nervous. ”

Marquis Meyer nodded, "That's good." ”

Then, Marquis Meyer whispered to Lin Yong the nobles of several ancient families, "The man in the red tuxedo is the Duke of Bertram, and their family is almost the oldest of all families. ”

"You have to watch out for him, he is the most opposed to the Queen conferring the title of earl on foreigners. Moreover, the most important thing is that their family is different from those families that have decayed, their family has produced many strong people, and he himself is a master of the realm. ”

Lin Yong nodded and looked at Duke Bertram.

It was an old man with a mustache.

He doesn't look very tall, and he is even a little amiable.

I was talking to a lady in her forties.

That noble lady is handsome, and if there are no wrinkles on her face, she must be a great beauty.

Yes, in addition to the nobles, there were also noblewomen who came to the knighthood ceremony.

The ladies were also curious to see what the Earl of Rochester looked like as a handsome young man.

Most people know the Earl of Rochester, oh, now the Marquis of Rochester, and lost the knighthood on the bet.

However, the details are not known.

The queen also didn't want more people to know that Lin Yong was a master of reason.

However, the Earl of Rochester also promoted Lin Yong, what a smart and wise, handsome, and personable.

These ladies were interested in young and handsome young men.

Moreover, the lad will soon become a territorial earl.

The girls had already entered the ceremony hall and attracted the attention of many people.

Men look at the beautiful faces and beautiful bodies of the girls.

The women were looking at the necklaces, rings, hairpins, and brooches on the girls.

In addition to the enchantress, the other four girls are too oriental.

Therefore, when these people saw it, they knew that the girls came with Lin Yong.

Many people have re-estimated Lin Yong's net worth.

I thought it was an ordinary Oriental, but I didn't expect it to be so rich.

In their opinion, the girls' jewelry must have been taken out by Lin Yong.

Just like the girl herself belongs to Lin Yong.

These old aristocratic ways of thinking are really special, but they are really right.

There were also many young people, although they were not awarded knighthoods, but they were heirs to knighthoods, or knights.

Also come to this investiture ceremony.

Twelve young people, in particular, are eye-catching.

Listen to the Marquis of Meyer, these twelve young men are a new generation of paladins.

England has had Knights of the Round Table since very ancient times.

And the Twelve Paladins are the best of the Knights of the Round Table.

Not only do you need to be noble and have an ancient family, but you also need to have outstanding character and strong strength.

Some of these twelve young people are masters of entering the realm, and some of them are masters of the realm of people.

They were all wearing red knight uniforms, one by one handsome and extraordinary, attracting the attention of many women.

And these twelve people gathered together from time to time to talk, occasionally looking at Lin Yong.

made Lin Yong always feel that they seemed to have some "conspiracy" against him.

Soon, the queen came.

When the queen came, everyone saluted her.

The man puts his right hand on his chest and bows, and the woman curts.

These etiquettes, Dongli Yanran told the girls, and the girls also look good, not bad at all.

According to the custom, Lin Yong went to the queen, knelt down on one knee, and declared his allegiance to the queen, and the queen took a sword and put it on Lin Yong's left shoulder, announcing that Lin Yong would become an earl, and the ceremony was completed.

Marquis Meyer also told Lin Yong about this.

The queen seemed to be very interested in Lin Yong, called Lin Yong forward, and talked to Lin Yong for a while.

Soon eight o'clock arrived, and a minister next to him reminded the queen that it was time for the knighthood ceremony to begin.

Then the beginning of the investiture ceremony was announced.

Everyone looked at Lin Yong, the queen.

Lin Yong walked up to the queen, knelt down on one knee, and then declared his allegiance to the queen.

Note that this is a declaration of allegiance to the Queen, not to the United Kingdom.

These two are different.

For example, if you declare allegiance to the British, you must come forward when the UK is in danger.

However, if allegiance to the Queen is declared, there is no need to pay attention to what is happening in Britain without the Queen's call-up order.

Most foreign aristocrats declared allegiance to the queen rather than to the British.

To declare allegiance to the British, you need to become British, and Lin Yong does not want to be British.

After Lin Yong finished reading the oath, the queen raised her head, "Does anyone else have an opinion on Lin Yong becoming an earl?"

Lin Yong knew that this was also a necessary step.

The Marquis of Meyer had also told him.

In ancient times, if a person had bad conduct, such as betrayal, betrayal, etc., and was exposed, he could not become a nobleman.

So, there is this step.

Just when Lin Yong thought that everything would go smoothly, a voice came, "Dear Your Majesty, I think that strong force is the reason why our queen conferred on him the title of earl, but I don't think that he has enough strength to match." ”

"I think it's time to follow the old custom to let him go through the Twelve Paladins. ”

It was Michelle, the king knight of the Twelve Paladins, who spoke.

The Michel family is also an ancient family, Michelle's father is still there, and he is getting stronger and stronger, so Michel has not inherited his father's marquis.

Lin Yong also heard what Marquis Meyer said.

In ancient times, those who were awarded knighthoods needed not only good conduct, but also strong force.

Therefore, it is necessary to break through the battle formation of the twelve paladins and defeat the twelve paladins.

Naturally, this rule has been retained.

However, it has not been used in recent centuries.

After all, with the decline of modern warriors, the nobility has become weaker and weaker, and the Twelve Paladins have always retained the custom of selecting the strong.

Therefore, the twelve paladins are getting stronger and stronger, and this rule exists in name only.

There will be no one who proposes at the knighthood ceremony to let the nobles who want to be knighted break into the Twelve Paladins Formation.

If it weren't for Lin Yong, a foreigner, this rule might not have been remembered.

The Marquis of Meyer had a sad look on his face.

He's a master of entering the realm, and he's not bad.

However, the Twelve Paladins Formation, he will definitely not be able to break through.

Because, in the Twelve Paladins Formation, there are six strong people who enter the realm and six people who are strong in the realm.

The battle formation they formed can exert is completely greater than one plus one.

That is to say, the strength exerted by the twelve people is greater than the strength of the twelve people themselves.

The strength itself is strong enough, and now it is superimposed.

Marquis Meyer hurriedly said, "Lin Yong, this unreasonable request can be refused. After all, this rule hasn't been used for hundreds of years. The empire had rules that any custom that had not been used for five hundred years could be deemed abolished. ”

Marquis Meyer naturally didn't know Lin Yong's true strength.

Lin Yong looked at Marquis Meyer gratefully and nodded to Marquis Meyer.
