Chapter Eighty-Five: Gift-giving
After Alex finished speaking, Mees drew his sword, leaned the tip of the sword upwards towards him, and said to Narik, "Please Lord Narik come forward and confer the knighthood." β
Narik hurriedly stepped forward and half-knelt on his right knee in front of the star array, and Mees stepped forward with his sword over the top of Narik's head, and announced loudly: "The territory of Posidia and the territory of Hiraki will be allowed to merge from now on, and they will belong to the lord of Narik and be renamed the territory of Posi." β
Mees's slightly shrill metallic voice resounded throughout the hall, translated into lingua franca by a translator.
"In the name of the controller of the Protoss VII Sector and in accordance with the Protoss's agreement on the granting of titles to the existing territory, I hereby grant the title of Marquis of Lord Narik, and the title is hereditary."
"His Highness Shemis."
Meate took the document in the hand of the ceremonial officer next to him and handed it to Narik. Narik took the award papers, bowed his head and thanked Mees, stood up and gave a deep bow.
"Ask the Marquis of Narik to appoint the Marquise." Sure enough, according to normal etiquette, the legal lady of the corresponding title should be designated.
Narik was not embarrassed, as if he had prepared in advance, and said to Meese: "Great Highness Mith, I did not have a lady before, maybe I can choose to appoint now?" β
Meese was stunned for a moment, and his original serious face also smiled slightly, "Permission." β
How can there be a precedent for the current wife, isn't it all predetermined?
Narik announced loudly, "I wonder which unmarried aristocratic woman present is willing to marry me?" Hearing him say this, even Qin Feng thought it was funny, this was really according to his advice.
Because in this hall, most of the people who can come in are the lords of each territory and the corresponding nobles, and the rest are the nobles of the original Posidia territory, and the nobles of the Xiqi territory are now reduced to slaves, although some have been pardoned by Narik, but because of the presence of Mees, they don't dare to squeak.
When Narik released the news before, he made corresponding preparations, and immediately more than three hundred aristocratic girls dressed in fancy clothes came out and stood on the red carpet in front of the main hall, waiting for Narik's selection.
Narik knew that it was impossible to be as selective as usual, because Meese didn't necessarily give him that much time, and if he was impatient, the subsequent knighthood would not be possible, and it would offend Meese.
"I'll just ask two questions, and if they satisfy me, then I'll marry them."
It was silent in the hall, waiting for Nariq to ask questions. This will mean that there is a girl who has the hope of becoming a marquise, not to mention the glory and wealth that others cannot achieve in their lifetime, and also has the title of the Protoss.
"First question, can you accommodate these two civilian women behind me as my wife and share the territory? At the same time, give up the title of Marquise? β
"How is this possible, aren't we just for the title of Marquise." In this stressful environment, most of the girls did not think carefully and made their choices on instinct.
"If you don't agree, please return it." It was as if Narik had known the outcome.
Of the more than 300 girls, less than 10 were still on the carpet.
"The second question, once you have a child, can you give up the heir to the child's territory?"
"Then what am I going to do if I marry you?"
ββ¦β¦β
The women retreated, and only two girls remained.
Narik stepped forward and asked, "Why are you two still here?" β
"I think the lord is very attractive, and now the territory is very large, I want to be the lord's wife." A girl said.
"It was my father who asked me to marry you, and he said you need a lord's wife, and I think I'm suitable."
"Oh, tell me where you come from and your name."
"My name is Cidès, fifteenth daughter of the lord of the territory of Pondetes."
"My name is Betty, daughter of Viscount Bena in the Lordship of Oros."
Pointing to the two girls, Narik asked, "Can you be compatible?" β
The two girls looked at each other, reached out to hold each other, and said in unison, "Yes, lord." β
"Well, I have a fancy for you." He stretched out his hand, pulled one in one hand, walked up to Miess and bowed, "Lord Mies, I've kept you waiting, I've already chosen, but there are four, I don't know how to choose this?" β
Mis looked at Qin Feng and felt that it was a little out of the norm.
Still, it said, "According to the agreement for the conferral of knighthood, there is no limit to one duchess. β
"Please ask the four ladies to come forward and confer knighthoods."
The four women were overjoyed to hear this, held each other's hands, and half-knelt in front of the star, and Meese announced that they were all marquises, much to the regret of the girls who had chosen to quit by mistake.
Since he hadn't prepared so many knighthood documents in advance, Meese asked people to hurry up and make them.
Then he said again, "Buck, son of Narik, please come forward and confer the knighthood." β
Buck was slightly stunned when he heard this, how could he become his uncle's son, in fact, according to the nobility agreement, the heir to the title cannot be granted to non-direct descendants.

But now is not the time to doubt, and hurriedly stepped forward and knelt down.
"Grant the title of Earl Buck, the son of Narik, and determine the heir to the territory of Boshi according to the advice of the lord of Narik, and the only legal heir before the change."
"Count Buck, please, appoint the countess."
This was a surprise to everyone, as Buck had just come of age and was not yet married.
But he saw Buck take two steps back and wave his hand at the corner of the side hall, as if he was greeting someone. Qin Feng estimated that it might be Buck's girlfriend Fili.
Sure enough, a girl walked over, and Buck motioned for her to kneel in front of Mees.
"What's your name?"
"Your Highness, my name is Fili." Fili was still in a trance, looking at Meese with some fear.
Mise doesn't care about that, "now grants Fili the countess of Count Buck." β
Alex announced loudly, "The knighthood ceremony is over. β
Originally, according to the regulations, at this time, His Majesty the Emperor should be knighted, but Mis was not good at this, so it was canceled.
The guards of honor on both sides of the carpet withdrew, and everyone stepped forward to congratulate Narik, who was busy entertaining with his four ladies, and Buck led his girlfriend to run away happily.
Mees nodded at Qin Feng and said, "I'm not good at this kind of occasion, I'll go back to the battleship first." He felt that this was a bit rude again, and looked at the red city, "I hope the dean of the red city has a good time." β
Nariq knew that Mies was leaving, and he didn't dare to hold on too much, so he had to let the ceremonial officer guide Mith out of the palace.
At this time, Qin Feng came over with Alice and Hongcheng and said hello to Narik.
"I said Brother Narik, if you don't look for it, it's just four."
Narik hurriedly pulled the four ladies to introduce Qin Feng, "This is His Royal Highness Qin Feng, the commander of the Great Qin Legion. β
The four marquises, the lord's wife, gave Qin Feng a salute together.
"How did you choose the two sisters-in-law before?" Qin Feng was a little curious.
"I chose one in the original territory of Bosidia, and one in the territory of Kizaki. Randomly chosen, as long as I can pass the first two questions in front of me, I can look at it. β
Qin Feng raised his big finger, "My brother is really powerful." β
"My brother has found four sisters-in-law this time, but I haven't prepared so many gifts, so I can only make up for it later." After saying that, Alice took the purple cloak.
Qin Feng pointed to the cloak on Hongcheng and Alice and said, "This purple one is also the same style, it was originally intended to be a gift for my sister-in-law." After speaking, he spread his hands, "Now I can only let the four sisters-in-law fight to rob it." β
After saying that, he laughed.
Narik smiled and took it and handed it to Sidde, who obviously gave him the best impression.
Outside of Qin Feng's line of sight, Hongcheng secretly squeezed Alice's hand.
The congratulatory crowd saw that Narik was chatting with Qin Feng warmly, and heard that the introduction was a highness, in the territory under the jurisdiction of this star region where there was no empire (except for the subordinate race, Qin Feng didn't look like a subordinate race), the title of His Highness was something that the Protoss could use.
The crowd would not dare to come forward and disturb them.
However, there are quite a few young people, who are not afraid of divine might, and secretly glance at the delicate and touching Red City and Alice, but none of them dare to come forward to talk, unless they want to gamble on the fate of their own family or territory.
"Brother, why didn't you see Willisie, he didn't come to congratulate?" Qin Feng asked.
"How could it be, why didn't he come, don't you see that he is chatting with Buller and Burlit over there."
At this time, Alex was heard to say, "Ladies and gentlemen, in order to thank you for coming, Lord Narik has held a dinner party, please come in the evening. For those who are eligible to attend the ceremony, please go to the ceremonial officer to get the invitation card. β
"Narik, you go and greet the other guests, I'll go talk to Willisy and them, and you come to me in a moment, I have something to tell you."
Narik led the ladies to entertain the others.
Qin Feng took Hongcheng and Alice towards Willisi.
"Willisie, why don't you come here and sit on my ship?" Qin Feng pretended to blame.
"When I came, you kid didn't know where it was, so I went to find you." Obviously, old man Willisy is not easy to fool.
Buller and Pellett also hurriedly greeted Qin Feng and then went to follow Narik to socialize, obviously leaving room for Willisy and Qin Feng to talk.
"Hey, you kid got another pretty girl." He saw that Hongcheng was also attracted by her amazement.
"Haha, Willisie, I picked this up."
"Red City, this is Brother Willisi, who built a battleship specifically for me." Qin Feng introduced.
Red City came very well-behaved to greet Willisie.
Qin Feng leaned over to Willisi and whispered, "Brother, how many warships have I built?" β
"There are four ships that have already laid the keel and built the frame, and there are still four ships under construction, and I believe it will be completed in less than ten days."
"Brother, I have an idea, I want to package a warship construction base in the territory and transform it into a large maintenance ship, I don't know if it is feasible?"
"What's not going to work, you can also build and repair while moving. However, the size required to build that kind of repair ship is no worse than that of a heavy cruiser, and it is estimated that it will not be completed in a short period of time, unless you spend more time in the territory. β
"We'll talk about that later. By the way, a new gift for Narik and you. "I want to talk about "Rise of the Void" with more like-minded people, and pay attention to "Youyue Literature" on WeChat, talk about life, and find confidants~
