There was one one Witness, but it didn't matter, Alma was the one who was in charge of the town of Long River.

Anyway, no one gets in the way.

Unable to see the duel, King Ulrike seemed a little unwilling, but still signaled that the knighthood ceremony would proceed normally.

Scholar Igor smiled and reminded: "Your Excellency Leon, it's time for you to swear allegiance to ......"

Leon knelt on one knee and recited the oath to the stone pillar carved with the former king:

"As good as you are, I swear to you, who are no better than me, that you are my King and High Lord, as long as you follow our status traditions and laws fairly. If you do not, the above oath is null and void. ”

After reciting the oath, Leon clutched his chest and saluted the goddess of the dome, then bowed his head.

King Ulrik drew his sword and rested it on Leon's shoulder.

"At this moment, I, Ulrique, in the presence of the gods and kings, bestow the title of baron on the young man who has sworn allegiance. And acknowledge that you rightfully own land, wealth, and supreme honor! May you use your sword to preserve the glory of our ancestors and our dignity! ”

As soon as King Ulrik finished speaking, a voice suddenly sounded in Leon's head......

“…… Very good...... Hahaha......"

Leon heard it clearly, it was a male voice, an old male, but it sounded crazy.

Like the woman's voice last time, it felt like it touched the soul directly.

The voice only came out once.

But with the experience of the last time, Leon was able to accept it calmly, and he did not show any abnormality.

The right to be an auditory hallucination.

King Ulrik withdrew his sword after reciting the oath, then beckoned to his attendants, one of whom tied a golden lion flag with a red background to Leon as a cloak.

Looking at Leon, Ulrik went to the weapon rack on the side of the hall and removed a mounted spear.

"Baron Leon, this is for you, to thank you for helping me recover my lost personal belongings...... May you gain more glory on the battlefield. ”

With a smile on his face, King Ulrik motioned for Leon to take the spear, seemingly reminding Leon not to forget to pay the protection money.

"As you wish, Your Majesty, I will take my leave."

Leon smiled and picked up his spear, nodded to the king and Igor, and then left with Count Auden.

This riding spear is not too bad, it is the standard equipment of the knights of the Lion Realm, and the ordinary extended riding spear is about worth 50 dinars.

It's just that this commodity is very profitable, and Leon has to pay at least 10,000 dinars to buy it.

Of course, distress is also distress, but this protection fee must be paid.

Of course, you can't give money, but you can't give it too quickly, it has to drag on for a few days - you know, when you don't give money, you are a 'valued customer', and after you give money, you may not be able to say it.

The king gave him a lance, telling Leon that it was a deal—and not a long-term deal, because spears often break after a fight.

The deal was bought for King Ulrique's temporary fairness.

That is, in the event of a conflict between himself and the old nobles for a short period of time, King Ulrik will remain neutral.

This is already good, after all, most of those old nobles and royal family members are related to each other.

I just don't know how long Ulrique's fairness will last, but hopefully it will last a little longer than riding a gun.

After leaving the palace, Auden patted Leon on the shoulder: "Boy, it's a good means for you to provoke a duel, but it's a pity that that guy actually held back." ”

Li Ang shook his head and sighed, "Lord Earl, I'm afraid I have to face a lot of assassinations and conspiracies...... I need help. ”

In fact, Li Ang was not much afraid in his heart, after being assassinated by Lisa Dilan once, he had already realized that there were always enemies who would kill him anyway, and it was useless to escape, and his strength was strong enough was the fundamental.

He tried his best to make money before, but also in order to quickly increase his strength.

Auden shook his head: "Don't worry so much...... Alma's side has lost a lot, and he doesn't have many men, so I'll keep an eye on him. Just watch out for Rainier. ”

"I mean, Lord Count, can you help me get a group of warriors...... For example, mercenaries or rangers, dinars or whatever. ”

Li Ang now has a huge amount of money in his hand, he wants to use the fastest way to increase his strength, and with Auden's appeal in Changhe Town, he can naturally help a lot.

"Of course, I also want my allies to be stronger...... However, even if you have the money, you don't need to mention the money you borrowed before. I need your help with something too......"

Auden looked a little speechless.

"We are partners, you are the majority shareholder of our company, don't be so polite, just say what you need."

"I'm not hiding it from you, I have an illegitimate child...... Actually, you've seen him......"

……

After bidding farewell to Auden, Leon returned to the familiar King's Road.

Klose was waiting for him next to the stables.

"Your Excellency, it's time to call you Lord Baron...... Want to go to the tavern to celebrate? ”

Klose looked much happier than Leon himself.

"No, I've got to get back to McHill quickly, Klose, we still have a lot of work to do."

Rainier must be worried about his own life, and there are still many people who are worried about their money, Lion City is not safe, and Leon's current state is like a child holding money into the city.

When I had no money, I was hunted down and killed, but now that I have money, it's not just hunted down.

So you can't celebrate at this time, you have to go back to recruit troops and buy horses, and get so much money, isn't it just to enhance your strength!

Just as he had left the Mist Cage City, the Lord Lords left the Lion City as quickly as possible without the slightest pause.

But this time, the macho men under his command have chariots - Li Ang is very generous to equip his infantry with carriages, after all, they have all worked part-time as business managers or security guards before.

So a day later, they caught up with Lesley's convoy, which she was leading with the merchants, which was slower.

These merchants still haven't left Lesley's team because they plan to set up an office in Mak Heung Ling, so that they can get involved more quickly the next time they encounter an opportunity like Singles' Day.

After all, in the past two months of 'international import and export trade', they have all made a lot of fun, and the backlog of inventory has basically been sold to Bacchus.

All the merchants were asking the freshly baked baron, "The war is over, and our goods have been sold out, is there any good business before the next war?" ”

So Li Ang immediately gave the merchants a good deal: "My territory is vast and sparsely populated, and there is a shortage of manpower, so you can bring some immigrants to Mai Xiang Ling, and I will pay 50 dinars for each young man!" ”

The merchant's eyes flashed with surprise: "Lord Baron, is it okay for 'immigrants' from other countries?" ”

"People from any country can do it, as long as they are young people who can speak human language! It's all for the price! ”

The merchants were overjoyed and immediately dispersed, looking for a 'source of goods'.

For the merchants, this is really a good business, and Li Ang's price is not low.

There are refugees who have lost their homes everywhere on this continent, and the welfare of the people of Mai Xiangling is very good, and those refugees must be happy to go - this is like picking up money on the ground!

The merchants immediately dispersed and 'bought their goods'.

Without the drag of the merchants, the speed of action immediately doubled, and in less than three days, they were back in Mai Xiangling.
