Chapter 100: Decree!
"Bold, don't you recognize us as the paladins of the Temple of Fire?" A knight riding a horse, dressed in a full-body cover, engraved with a mysterious magic pattern, a demonic beast crystal nucleus embedded in his chest, and three magic armors with a raging flame pattern engraved on his chest, stepped forward and said angrily.
In this world, every city that enters the city has to pay the entrance tax, only the nobles, the church, and the magicians do not have to pay the entrance tax, and other than that, everyone has to pay the entrance tax.
Where did the two slave-born guards know this, they were glared at and roared by the paladin of the Fire Temple, and they were immediately trembling with fright and at a loss.
"Hello, I'm Lord Zhao Feng's internal affairs officer, and we haven't been specially trained for these subordinates, I'm sorry!" said Blaise quickly appeared in front of the city gate and said apologetically.
"Hello, Brace, I'm Bishop Jean from the Temple of Fire! From the carriage, a middle-aged man dressed in the robe of the Flame Temple priest stepped out and looked at Brace and said with a slight smile.
In the temples, priests below level 4 are generally ordinary priests, strong people above level 5 are generally named bishops, and strong people above level 8 are made archbishops.
A bishop, generally the person in charge of a temple in a region, has an extremely high status, and in this world with gods, a bishop does not even dare to despise a baron with a hundred miles of fiefdom.
"Please come with me!" said Blaise, who did not dare to slack off, and said respectfully to Bishop Nagien.
After finishing speaking, Brace led Bishop Nagien and his party to Zhao Feng, who was directing the construction.
"My lord, this one is Bishop Jean of the Temple of Fire. Brace said to Zhao Feng.
"Hello, Bishop Jean, I'm Zhao Feng!" Zhao Feng glanced at Bishop Jean and said with a slight smile.
"Hello, Master Zhao Feng, after today, I may be going to call you Lord Zhao Feng! I brought the church to sign the document appointing you as a lord this time, and from today on, you are a real nobleman. Bishop Jean smiled slightly.
Blaise, who was standing on the side, heard the news, his eyes lit up, and the master he served was a real feudal nobleman who really owned a lot of fiefdoms from today on. Following such a promising master, his future is also bright.
"This one is my Fire Temple Kane Paladin, and this one is my Fire Temple's Ret Paladin. These two are Pastor Nite of my Fire Temple, Pastor Ranwell!" Bishop Jean introduced Zhao Feng to the important people around him one by one.
The Kane Paladin was a middle-aged man with dazzling blond hair, eagle eyes and a hooked nose, and a serious face of about thirty-six or seventeen years old. The Leiter Paladin was a man with fiery red hair and a somewhat thin build, about thirty-one or twelve years old. Pastor Nit was a peaceful-looking young man of about twenty-three or fourteen, and Pastor Ranwell was an ordinary man in his thirties.
Zhao Feng looked at these Fire Temple backbones who had followed Bishop Jean and nodded slightly.
"Master Zhao Feng, I still have some urgent matters today, and I want to discuss them with you. Bishop Jean glanced at his surroundings and said lightly.
"Okay, please follow me. Zhao Feng nodded, took Bishop Jean, and went to the council hall of his villa in this giant city.
"Master Zhao Feng, this is your lord's appointment document, and from now on, you are a true nobleman. Settling down in the chamber, Jean handed a document to Zhao Feng.
Taking the document, Zhao Feng glanced at it, his heart was surging, with this document, it means that he is not only a magician from now on, but also a real nobleman who is recognized by the entire human society and has a hereditary fief.
This is the goal that countless civilians have spent hundreds or even thousands of years striving for in this hierarchical world.
In this world, with the Demon Martial Academy, it will also recruit some geniuses with strong talents among the civilians. However, in peacetime, it is extremely difficult to become a nobleman. If you are a commoner, even if you are extremely talented and have cultivated your fighting spirit, you may not be able to become a nobleman.
This is the case with the six civilian geniuses such as Xiao Baboru under Zhao Feng, although they have cultivated their fighting spirit, they are not knights, they are only loyal to a certain force and have made meritorious deeds, so that they can be named the lowest-level noble knights. And then slowly spend hundreds of years slowly climbing up.
The swordsman Pierre, who was enslaved by Zhao Feng, was a genius among the commoners, and in order to establish his own family and become a real nobleman, he took refuge in Viscount Gerley. The difficulty of becoming a nobleman can be imagined.
Magicians have the status of nobility, have great power, and are respected by many people, but they are not really nobles, and their status cannot be passed on to future generations, so this is why the magicians have taken refuge in the great nobles.
"Master Zhao Feng, you are now a nobleman. Then I will convey to you the decree of the king and the churches. Jean said with a grim face.
"Please speak!" Zhao Feng stared at him and said slowly.
"The great gods have sent down oracles, and a horde of terrifying creatures from the Alternate Plane is about to break through the dimensional passage and descend on our world. Those creatures from the other plane are terrifying, comparable to the demons in the abyss. The nobles who are fighting the alien creatures on the front line must defend their territory for six months, and must not flee the territory. Otherwise, it will be regarded as a rebellion, deprived of all titles, fiefs, and burned to death. ”
"Lord Zhao Feng, your territory with Baron Larman, Baron Vessy, Baron Levin, Lord Lett, Lord Burem, Lord Li Lan, Lord Chen Li, Lord Wang Jiang, and Lord Cui Dong are on the front line of the war with the creatures of the heterotopic plane in this area. From this day onwards, you and your relatives and subordinates will not be allowed to leave the war zone and retreat to the rear without an order signed by the Church and the King. If you disobey the order, you will be burned at the stake!"
"And I am the messenger sent by the Church to your fiefdom to help you. We, the cultists of the Fire Temple, will fight to the death with your newly-built megacity!" said Jean as he slowly said with a complex glint in his eyes.
This time, Jean was sent to the giant city built by Zhao Feng, and he already knew clearly that he was only afraid that he would be more than lucky this time.
Although Jean, a creature from an alternate plane, doesn't know what it is, even the gods in the sky have sent down oracles, which shows that among the creatures of the alien plane, there are definitely terrifying powerhouses. The first line is definitely one of the most dangerous places.
It's just that Jean has no choice, and if he doesn't come, there is only a dead end, and if he comes, he may be able to enter the kingdom of God after death.
