Chapter 771: Canonization

Leo wasn't too interested in interfering as to whether Sylvia was treating the current matter as a game or something, and since it was all planned, he didn't need to ask more.

After that, Sylvia and he began to sort out the various items needed to enter the underground ruins, until the officials of the Bowland court arrived and told Sylvia to go to Bowland Palace to receive a knighthood.

Leo and Sylvia didn't talk nonsense, and after instructing the people in the station, they followed the officials all the way through the Cooper's Gate directly to the Bowland Palace, and after passing a smooth slope and a series of ornate buildings, they were led outside a square in the palace garden.

Both the officer and Leo dismounted, took off their helmets, handed their weapons to the knights next to them, and followed the officer towards the manor.

The men who had taken Leo and Sylvia's weapons followed with their weapons in their hands, but it was clear that Leo's Abyssal Greatsword had caused the knight holding it to suffer a little, and he had only been walking for a while before he could hear heavy breathing.

At this moment, there were already many nobles of Touscent gathered in the manor, and they all heard the news that the Duchess was going to canonize the Knight of Light, and came to watch the ceremony, and when Sylvia and Leo walked into the garden, everyone's eyes fell on them.

There was no doubt that Sylvia was the center of all attention, the gorgeous shape of the dragon hunter's armor, Sylvia's tall figure and beautiful appearance were enough to attract anyone's attention, and everyone recognized her as the Knight of Light at the first time.

In addition to Sylvia herself, the three knights who followed Sylvia also attracted much attention, but everyone did not look at the knight himself, but the three weapons held in the hands of the knight, the weapon blessed by the fairy in the lake is definitely an artifact, and how many people in the world have seen the artifact? If the fairy in the lake has a church at this moment, these three weapons will inevitably become the sacred relics of the fairy church in the lake, and will be worshiped by countless people.

Compared to Sylvia's attention, there were far fewer eyes on Leo, and those eyes were more curious, doubtful, envious, jealous, and vigilant.

Almost everyone present who saw Leo wondered why Leo was favored by a human saint like Sylvia to become his companion, and everyone was more willing to appreciate Leo's Abyssal Walker armor than Leo himself, after all, this armor was no less gorgeous than the Dragon Hunter armor.

It's just that there are two people who are puzzled, these two are the two nobles who went to be witnesses yesterday, they obviously felt that the invisible power on Leo's body made them feel endless pressure yesterday, just looking at them made them have to lower their heads and dare not look at them, and now Leo has no invisible momentum at all, as if he is a different person.

However, how could they know that after Leo integrated the crystallized magic book into his body in the morning, the life suppression of the originally uncontrollable higher life forms in his body began to gradually regain control, so that he was now able to restrain his own high life form and no longer affect others.

But even so, there are still people who can sense Leo's danger, these people are almost all nobles from the Nefgaard Empire who came here for vacation, they are also from military backgrounds, and they can feel the thick blood aura on Leo's body, so their eyes looking at Leo are also full of vigilance.

The group soon came to the square platform of the garden, which was rebuilt from the ruins of the elven kingdom, and there were a large number of elven-style reliefs on the stone pillars around the square, in the middle of the square, the duchess stood there, surrounded by the core nobles of Tousent, and on the other side there were several knights in armor, looking at the ornaments on their bodies, it can be known that they should be the leaders of the wandering knights of Tousent.

For the leaders of these wandering knights, and hope that a new knight order will appear, because that would mean that the already fixed cake will have to be divided again, which no one wants to see.

It wasn't that they didn't want to stop all this, but when they heard the number of bandits and monsters who died at the hands of Sylvia and Leo, and heard that many knights had gathered around Sylvia in just a few days, they didn't dare to do anything, they could only quietly watch Sylvia get the honor, status and identity they had worked hard for so many years in such a short period of time.

If Sylvia hadn't traveled to Lake Seravi, these people might have had a chance to stop the canonization, and they could encourage the nobles they supported to stop the duchess on the grounds that Sylvia and Leo were of unknown origin, that there was no Fran in the world, and so on.

But now Sylvia has not only completed the baptism of the five virtues of knights, but also received the blessing of the fairy of the lake, opposing her becoming a knight is against the fairy of the lake, and opposing the basic code of the entire knight, which is almost equivalent to becoming hostile to the entire knight class, as long as the nobles with a little brain will not do such a stupid thing.

The leaders of the Wandering Knights regarded Sylvia as their great enemy, but Sylvia and Leo were like air at all, and they didn't even have time to look at them more.

Once in the square, Leo and Sylvia focused their eyes on Duchess Anna Henrietta, who had only just met the famous Archduchess of Towcent.

At first glance, both Sylvia and Leo feel that the other party is just a vase, with long brown-red hair combed into a high bun with a crown on it, her beautiful face makes her look a little less majestic, and her gorgeous, sexy court dress makes her easily the center of attention.

However, if the Duchess's abilities were to be judged solely by her appearance, then in the end, those who underestimated her would become the cornerstone of her throne, as had been proven more than once in the past.

While her husband was in power, the Grand Duchess was able to control part of the power to fight against her husband, and even if her husband found out about the affair, he was not punished in the end, and her husband was only able to take out his anger on her lover Dandrien, and say some cruel things that could not be achieved at all.

After her husband's death, she became the ruler of Tousent, but she was able to quickly regain power, control the whole country, maintain close relations with the Niffgard Empire, and obtain privileges not found in other vassal states, all of which showed that she was extremely politically skillful, at least much more sophisticated than the power-hungry sorceresses of the northern kingdoms.

After arriving at the square, Leo did not enter the square, but stopped at the edge of the square, leaving Sylvia to walk alone in front of the Duchess.

While the attendants next to her were preparing the items needed for the ceremony, the duchess pulled Sylvia very cordially and talked with her, because it was a public occasion, and the content of the conversation was not too deep, almost all of them were words that were happy for Sylvia's arrival and thanked Sylvia for what she had done, and there was not much substance.

After that, the ceremony began, the duchess said some ritual words, and then asked a few questions that the ceremony must ask, such as whether she would follow the five virtues of knighthood for the rest of her life, and then took the sword from the hand of the squire, tapped it on Sylvia's shoulders, and then canonized Sylvia as a knight of Tousent.

After the duchess's canonization was announced, everyone present was stunned, they never thought that the duchess's canonization was actually a knight of Touscent.

Although the difference between the canonized knight and the canonized knight of Touscent is only a place name, the connotation is very different.

The canonization of knights is just to provide a person with a knightly certificate, but the canonization of the knight of Touscent is equivalent to giving a title, but it is still named after the Duchy of Touscent, that is to say, at the moment of obtaining this knightly certificate, Sylvia also obtained the title of Duchy of Touscent, even if it is the lowest knighthood, which is incredible to anyone present.

Don't look at it as just a low-level title, for some people, it is the goal of a lifetime, and Sylvia, as a foreigner, has only been in Towson for almost a month, and has a noble title, which makes those who are still struggling, especially the leaders of the wandering knights, instantly full of jealousy and resentment, thinking that Sylvia snatched the title that should have belonged to them, and the eyes that looked at Sylvia were also full of resentment, it seems that they should do something in the future.

The change in the attitudes of the people around them was naturally also seen by Leo and Sylvia, and they didn't care about all this, but looked at the kind Duchess with a deep meaning.

There is almost no need to think about it, both of them know very well that all this must be done by the Duchess on purpose, as for why, it is not difficult to guess, I am afraid that the power of those wandering knights is too great, threatening the status of the Duchess, she is borrowing Sylvia's hand to clean up those disobedient wandering knights.

In this regard, Leo and Sylvia are not disgusted, both sides take what they need, if Sylvia forms the Knights and the Church of the Fairies in the Lake, it is not enough to destroy the bandits and clean up the monsters, and some substantial, enough to shock people's hearts, and Tausente is not Niffergaard, there are not too many disputes between here and the outside world, since there are no disputes with the outside, then it is inevitable to start from the inside.

In fact, even if the Duchess does not canonize Sylvia as a knight of Towcent, Sylvia will definitely attack several other wandering knights, at least two of them must be cleaned up, so as to accumulate enough prestige, and when establishing a church, the resistance will be the least, which Sylvia also mentioned to Leo before and is part of her plan.

And now that Sylvia has received the title of Knight of Tousent, coupled with the duchess's acquiescence, what she has to do will be much smoother, and now she needs to think about how to minimize casualties, how to get the maximum support from the duchess, how to keep herself from becoming an outcast afterwards, and so on.

After the canonization ceremony, the people in the garden dispersed, and the Duchess led Sylvia to a small villa in the garden, where she seemed to have something to discuss with Sylvia, along with Frigila Vigo and several of the Duchess's right-hand men.

Leo didn't go over, but walked around the garden casually and ate some food.

At this time, a man walked up to Leo and said, "Hello, Mr. Leo!"

Leo turned to look at the man, or rather a vampire, rather than a human.

I saw that this blood clan had black hair, a thin face, and a handsome appearance, and a long black suit was in stark contrast to the gorgeously dressed nobles around him.

However, compared to the appearance of this blood clan, Leo cares more about the strength of the other party, and it is not difficult to judge from the information perceived by the spirit network that the strength of this blood clan is stronger than that of Regil, as for how strong it is, it is impossible to judge, because the other party's strength does not come from energy, but from blood, but Leo judges with his current understanding of blood power, and the current blood clan should be a level higher than Regil in terms of evolution.

"Hello!" Leo nodded as he probed the other party's situation, and responded, "May I ask your Excellency ......?"

"Illav van der Eretin, a friend of Regier. The Bloodclan said calmly.

Leo asked, "Why did Your Excellency come to me?"

Dilaff said in a deep voice: "I hope that when Your Excellency explores the underground ruins of the Elven Kingdom, you will not harm the children who inhabit it, they just don't want to come into contact with people, and they don't do anything harmful to people. ”

It is clear that the children that Dilaff is talking about are those completely mutated bloods that inhabit the ground.

Leo didn't think much of it, and said casually, "I can promise not to hurt them, but only if they don't provoke me." ”

Dilaff's face darkened slightly, and his brow furrowed, it was clear that Leo's answer was not what he wanted.

However, he didn't force anything more, saluted Leo, and turned away.

"It seems that those mutant blood clans are not uncontrolled. Leo looked at the back of Dilaff leaving, and had a faint feeling in his heart that this Dilaff might become a great scourge in the future.

The reason why Leo has such a judgment is because Dilaff's own strength and the mutant bloods he controls are like an unstable bomb, at this time Dilaff may still be able to maintain a close attitude towards ordinary people, once he is completely angered for some unknown reasons, and even hates humans, then the entire Bowkelan may become this group of blood banquet halls.
