Chapter 698: Spoiler
Noble clerk awarding sub-process.
The first step is to read out Kailot's absolute allegiance to the Lorraine Empire after becoming a nobleman and his future duties to the Lorraine Empire, which is the most cumbersome place, because there are a lot of regulations to read, fortunately, Abraham prepared a book for Kelotte in advance, just read it.
This process lasted for nearly twenty minutes, and as a sign of respect, there was no sound around him as he spoke, and when he finished reading, there began to be sparse applause, yes, there was very little applause, and under normal circumstances, it should be thunderous applause at this time, indicating the nobles' joy for the Affleck family.
In fact, those who applaud can count on their fingers, Fermia, Beatrice, Latisse, Mina...... Don't think about it, it's Prudence's people doing it again.
While closing the page, Kelott glanced at the place where the nobles were standing on the side, and sure enough, Gary Prudence was standing at the front, raising his right hand to make a quiet gesture, and the nobles behind him also stopped moving like his servants.
"The Aoki Foundation, the Viscount Bennett family, the Bennett family came over from Flender and should support the Abraham family, this is normal, what is the matter with the Aoki Foundation, how can this consortium be linked to the Abraham family, they ...... Why work with the Abrahams?"
The Aoki Foundation currently has a lot of fame in the Oushelin and even the Sambia area, and Fimia became a director of the Aoki Foundation at such a young age, and is often mentioned in aristocratic circles, and no one knows how this consortium came to be, but one thing is for sure, the Aoki Foundation is rich and rich!
Have you ever seen a farm that you have to buy along with a grain processing plant? The Aoki Foundation is such an existence that they even have to buy the last store that sells grain together, which is equivalent to buying an industrial chain directly!
I don't know how many people want to take the line of the Aoki Foundation, and the aristocratic banquets of Oushelin will basically send invitations to Femia, hoping to invite Femia, but she herself basically does not attend the banquet, and she does not hold it herself, usually within the Aoki Foundation, and there is no intention to pay attention to some people's visits, but today it appeared at the Abraham family's banquet, and Gary Prudence only now thought that he had just thought that he had just felt that Kellot Grace was there. The people around Affleck were a little familiar, thinking it was the other party's sister in the information, so they didn't pay much attention to it.
In any case, it is embarrassing to have no one applaud, but Kelot doesn't care at all, he didn't think much about how much he had to intersect with these nobles in the Oshelin region from the beginning, because the upper circle represented by Prudence was powerful in their eyes, so these people would have this reaction today, on the other hand, when Kelot's status was not lower than that of Prudence, these people would also turn against these people because of his strength, that's all.
Kylot wants them to keep up this behavior, this kind of wall-to-wall, wind-blown guy who falls on both sides is far more enjoyable to him than some stubborn guys.
"Mr. Kailot, you don't seem to be very welcome, just like the Abrahamic family who vouched for you......"
The Imperial Emissary held a long sword in his hand, the tip of the sword rested on the shoulder of Kailot, who was kneeling on one knee, and he saw the surrounding situation, and while the time of reading the laws of the Empire, a sentence suddenly reached Kailot's ears through spiritual power.
"Do you have any opinions?"
Kailote raised his head and looked at the imperial envoy a little strangely, a middle-aged man, with a high nose, deep eye sockets, dark blue pupils, pale blonde hair, a tall figure, arms longer than normal, and a burly body, a Stoano with orthodox blood, wearing the royal uniform of the Lorraine Empire, with a noble atmosphere.
"Perhaps...... The Afflecks need a better backer, don't they? As far as I know, the Abrahams are ostracized in the Sambia region, and how can an ambitious nobleman like you allow himself to be bound? โ
The reading continued, and the people next to him fell silent again, and the communication between the imperial envoy and Kailot was also secretly carried out with spiritual power.
This person is strange, before the banquet began, Yue Yong talked to him about the imperial envoy, it is said that this kind of position is generally temporarily held by a minister trusted by the royal family or a royal cronie, the job is to carry out the canonization and evaluation of the nobles, but the person in front of him is obviously talking a lot, just this spiritual power exchange, according to common sense, should not have.
In the content of the conversation, the imperial envoy repeatedly revealed the idea of recruiting Kailot, which made Kailott a little vigilant, and the person in front of him ...... It can't be an impostor, right?
No matter what, you have to get the aristocratic documents first.
Press the speculation in your heart first, the whole ceremony is carried out quickly because of the arrangement of Yue Yong, for fear that something will go wrong, but some things are not transferred by personal will.
Halfway through the authorization ceremony in the venue, there was a commotion outside, because of the silence of the scene, the sound reached everyone's ears without concealment.
"Stop them, no matter who is outside, even if it's a giant knocking on the door, stop me!"
Yue Yong summoned a family guard and whispered in his ear, who was ordered to go out with a few guards, but only halfway down the road, someone came in at the door.
"Sheriff McCown, why is he here? Sergeant of the Garrison's Crime Squad, here at this time...... What are you doing. โ
The people at the garrison, someone present recognized the identity of the chief sergeant, McCoan, one of the several sheriffs who are currently not very good in Oushelin, and his bad reputation is not because he has done anything to steal chickens and dogs, but because this person has always been known for his ruthless methods in handling cases, and some criminals heard that he led the team to arrest people, and before they were about to be caught, they would rather commit suicide than fall under his hands.
This person is also ruthless enough, with a slanted scar on the left cheek to the lips, a strong physique, muscles supporting the uniform coat of the garrison, walking in figure eight, the eyes of the vulture swept over everyone in the field, and many people subconsciously measured their cheeks to avoid his eyes.
"Kylot Affleck...... No, I shouldn't call you that, Ryan Affleck, you think you can cover things up by coming back with a different name now? The Ottoman family case a few years ago, and the Ottoman family extermination case later, we suspect that you were involved in it, and now I am going to ...... on behalf of the garrison."
McCown had an arrest warrant in his hand, his eyes met that of Gary Proudens, and he nodded slightly.
"This sheriff, you should know what kind of place this is, breaking into the noble manor without permission, your behavior is out of line!"
Nobility means privileges, and low-class nobles don't count, how can the manor of an earl-level nobleman be entered as soon as he says it? McCown came in so swaggeringly, clearly looking down on the Abraham family, thinking that they could not do anything with themselves.
"Oops~ I'm really embarrassed, I'm also gripping people's hearts, he's a fugitive murderer, if he does something bad at the banquet, and then he will hurt all the big people present, and then he will be tracked down, he used to be the prisoner I was responsible for, and everyone will be sad at that time, right?"
This is to borrow other nobles to support themselves.
"Yes, the law is the most important thing, a murderer is a murderer, since he is a murderer, then he can't be a nobleman, I think so, don't you think?"
Gary Prudence jumped out again, it seemed that he was prepared, and seeing that he couldn't turn against Kailot, he simply used this way to sabotage the grant of documents, and specially picked a middle time.
You must know that there is a huge status gap between nobles and commoners, civilians kill people and nobles kill people, and the government pronounces different legal bases for sentencing, civilians kill people, death penalty, if there are special circumstances, it may become indefinite or sentenced to twenty or thirty years, nobles kill people, if they kill ordinary people, then 80% can become manslaughter, negligence, it means carelessly, just accompany some money, if you kill the nobles, there is basically no need for the garrison to intervene between the two sides, internal settlement, pay for life or lose money, mainly depends on the status and strength of both sides and their respective backersใ
But there is something special about Kailot's situation, the heir of the Ottoman family he killed before, viscount, well...... The result of the discussion between the two families was that he was killed, but he ran away that night, so this behavior implicated his own family, but then the Ottoman family was wiped out, and the matter changed again.
The nobles who were wiped out, pay attention, it was the destruction of the door! The things and property in the family were not inherited to the extent that the whole family was dead, and who cared if one of your heirs died or not, so the attention of the garrison at that time was all focused on the case of destroying the door.
It's just that although not many people know the inside story at that time, Kailot is one of them, obviously the government moved to destroy the Ottomans with secret troops, this case will not be conclusive, and the result at that time did develop in this direction, the people's memory has always been controllable, the government's deliberate dilution, and the continuous emergence of some new hot spots, this case of destroying the door was quickly drowned in other unsolved cases.
But the nobles still remember this, this is a tragic case against the nobles, who was not afraid of the nobles who had some relationship with the Ottoman family at that time?
That's what you want!
McCown's entry directly uncovered the scar in the hearts of these people, no matter what, this attracted enough attention, and then as long as Kailot, who is still a civilian, is sent to the garrison, the rest of the evidence, whether the evidence is found or not, the Affleck family will be completely discredited.
Who wants to talk to a guy who seems to be a murderer......?
"Do you really think that no one can do anything to you? Sheriff!!Killing your whole family is at most a matter of losing tens of thousands of gold coins and then finding someone to take the blame!"
Yue Yong is really angry this time, the other party is now about to ride on the head of the Abraham family to and pee, she is not worthy of being the head of this family if she can continue to endure it!
"Hey~ You're serious, didn't I come with the mentality of seeking verification, if Mr. Kailott is innocent, I have no reason to embarrass him. โ
Is McCown nervous? McCown must be nervous, he is a sheriff, and he may be a figure of the same size in Oushelin, but in the eyes of these aristocrats who often have a large territory and a group of professionals under their hands, they are just a dog of the government, and what McCown is doing today can indeed have something to do with biting.
But can he go now? Definitely he can't go, the words are out, the water is hard to collect, go back at this time, it belongs to both sides are not pleased, you have to hug a thigh, gritting his teeth, stomping his feet, he turned sideways and was about to bypass Yue Yong to find Kailot.
"Will you be loyal to Lorraine forever?"
"Yes!"
"Are you willing to pledge your allegiance to the Stoano family?"
"Yes!"
"Then the Stoano family will bestow you this honor, Kellot Affleck, and you are now a baron!"
When the paperwork was placed in the hands of Kailot from the Imperial Emissary, McCown, who had only come closer, turned pale......
"Messenger...... You're doing that, no, he's a murderer, a murderer...... How can ......you be an imperial noble?
The Imperial Emissary ignored their actions, pretended not to hear anything, and directly granted Kylot a noble paperwork, which was simply bad news for McCawan!
The garrison can arrest Kellot Affleck, if he dares to resist, it will be no problem to kill him on the spot, but the garrison cannot arrest Baron Kellot Affleck, even if they want to arrest him, their current search warrant will not be useful at all, and they have to apply to their superiors again...... After tonight, what's the use of applying?
Who the hell would provoke an alliance of nobles for the sake of a family that has been destroyed!
"Can't it? what the royal family wants is just a nobleman who has the ability to help the royal family, as long as our Mr. Kailot Affleck can do this, then what if he kills someone, the capable bad guy, the incompetent good guy, I value the former one more, can't I?"
The imperial envoy spread his hands, and the meaning could not be clearer, I just want to grant the noble documents to others, what can you do with me? As an envoy sent by the royal family, he has this capital and arrogance!
"Hmph! Let's go!"
Thousands of calculations, I didn't count that the imperial envoy turned out to be from the side of the Abraham family, and he insisted on handing over the documents to the Affleck family with so many people, breaking the game he had carefully set up, which was similar to the game between the two sides, and he was about to end the game with a must-kill, but he found that the referee felt similar to the second master opposite.
How else can you say that you can give the referee a red card and let him go? The current head of the Prudence family may be able to give it a try here, but he certainly can't do it.
