A few days later, the London Cathedral was overcrowded, and the nobles of Middlesex gathered here to witness the emergence of a new aristocracy. Although generally speaking, the ceremony of the knighthood of this kind of knight is held in wartime, but in view of the special status of today's protagonist, he has also made a lot of achievements in the previous war, so everyone did not object, and more importantly, the Count of Morol has set up a sumptuous feast, and they can eat a good meal without spending money, so why not.

As the protagonist of this knight's canonization, Evan bathed and changed clothes the day before, and prayed all night in the church. At dawn, the Archbishop of London Cathedral personally presided over Mass for Aven. Although Evan did not consciously believe in God, and these religious ceremonies did not have to be held, it was not a time of war anyway, so it was better to make a good impression on the archbishop.

Sure enough, the Archbishop of London was overjoyed when he heard that Evan was willing to hold a religious ceremony before the sword ordination. The church has always wanted to increase its influence, and Aven, as a rising star in Middlesex, could make the church more acceptable if he could hold religious ceremonies. This kind of good thing is exactly what the church expects.

After the Mass, the Archbishop of London publicly declared that Evan was a knight of Middlesex, and that the priests were impressed by his devout faith. Our lord heard the prayers of the faithful, and blessed both Aven and his weapons and armor, hoping that he would remember the teachings of our lord in the years to come, and be invincible on the battlefield against the enemies of our lord.

Throughout his humble posture and warm smile, Evan couldn't fault anything. Wearing a white shirt and red robe, Ai Wen knelt down on one knee to receive the blessed sword and armor from the archbishop's hand, and his heart was also relieved, and the prelude to the entire knight canonization ceremony was completed here, and then the core sword awarding ceremony was completed.

"Son, I am impressed and touched by your piety and knowledge. If you encounter any difficulties in the future, don't be polite, just come here and I will meet you personally and help you solve your difficulties. I believe my Lord thinks so." The Archbishop of London patted Evan on the shoulder and said with heartfelt emotion.

After thanking the Archbishop, Evan returned to his horse and traveled to the inner city of London, where the Earl of Morloll would be waiting for him to perform the sword ceremony. Along the way, the streets of London were lined with onlookers, many waving cloth in their hands and shouting as if they were the ones performing the knighthood ceremony.

In the face of the enthusiastic citizens, Evan smiled and waved his hand to greet them, and the citizens were even more excited to see that his shouts were actually responded. "Knight Aven, I like you!" A fiery shout rang out from the crowd, and then a burst of laughter erupted from the scene. Many people looked around to see who was so bold to confess.

Near the inner city gates, Evan saw a group of people on horseback on the side of the road, quietly waiting for him to arrive. When I got closer, it was Delores who was in the lead. Evan hurriedly stepped forward and dismounted to salute Delores.

"Miss Delores, I didn't expect you to wait for me here, and I've kept you waiting for a long time." Evan said apologetically.

Deloris smiled slightly, "It's okay. Knight Aven, from now on, please take care of me."

Deloris said and led Aven into the inner castle. This was the first time Ivan had seen the inner city of London, which was much smaller than the downtown area outside. However, although the sparrows were small, there were separate wells, granaries, mills, and small stables and forges in the inner city, so that they could continue to produce weapons in the event of war.

When Evan walked to the lord's hall inside the castle, the nobles of Middlesex were almost there. The Count of Morlor, dressed in a splendid gown, sat on the central throne, while the other nobles stood on either side, quietly waiting for the ceremony to begin. In the crowd, Evan saw his father, Elluth. The latter cast an encouraging glance at him.

To Aven's surprise, the person presiding over the ceremony was not the older male nobleman in the realm. It was actually Deloris who walked in front of him, and at this moment, Evan thought of a possibility, could it be that Count Morol really decided to ......

Deloris coughed lightly and began to preside, "I'm here today for the canonization ceremony for Aven, thank you for being here. Let's start with the oath-taking ceremony, and ask Aven to take the oath to Lord Earl."

Evan took half a step forward, knelt down on one knee to Count Morlor, and said the oath seriously.

"I swear to be kind to the weak."

"I swear to be brave against rape."

"I swear to fight all mistakes."

"I swear to fight for the unarmed."

"I swear to help anyone who asks me for help."

"I swear I will not harm any woman."

"I swear to help my brother knight."

"I swear to be sincere with my friends."

"I swear that I will die for what I love."

Ai Wen's loud voice echoed in the hall of the lord, and the echo was as strong as the obsession in his heart at this moment, fighting for his country and for the land under his feet. The other nobles in the lord's hall, even Baron Parles, who had contradictions before, all looked serious and looked at the whole ceremony with reverence on their faces.

Looking at the solemn expression of Aven, Count Morol suddenly felt relieved. He lived most of his life and witnessed the birth of too many knights, but only Aven's oath resonated with him immediately, as if he saw the scene when he was young, swearing to become a knight in front of his father. At that time, he was about the same age as Aven, both had excellent records, and more importantly, they both shared the same beliefs.

The corners of Delores' eyes were a little moist inexplicably, and she continued to preside over the entire ceremony, "Ask the other knight representatives to come forward and equip the new knight." After saying that, Delores nodded to the previously agreed candidate, signaling that they could come forward.

Elruth and another older baron stepped forward, and the squire brought up the armor and sword that Aven had been blessed with. With the help of the two barons, Evan quickly put on his armor. The two barons also put on a new spur for Evan to wear. With this done, the two barons retreated to both sides, their mission was complete, and all that remained was the content of the Count of Morlore.

Count Morlore stood up, strode up to Aven, picked up Aven's sword, drew the blade, slapped his sword on his shoulder three times, and said in a deep voice, "May you always be awake, there is still a long road ahead, my knight."

"Willing to be your sword, your enemy is the direction of my sword. May it be your shield, and my wisdom will help you to defend against foreign enemies."

Count Morloll nodded, returning the blade to its scabbard, and Evan stood up just in time. Count Morloll hung his sword on Aven's belt and slapped his hand heavily on Evan's neck to remind him that he must not forget the knightly declaration at any time.

The whole canonization ceremony was completely over here, and at Delores' motion, Evan stepped aside. Everyone looked at Count Morlor, who was still standing, and knew that the Count had something to announce.

"After careful consideration, there are two things to announce to everyone. First things first, my daughter Deloris will marry the son of my best friend, Baron Elruth, Aven."

When a few Middlesex nobles heard this, their faces changed slightly, and their expressions were a little annoyed. However, most people are still very calm, because they have heard the relevant news for a long time, and they don't feel good about it when it is announced now.

Elruth and Evan stepped out of the queue and bowed to Count Morol and Delores. Ai Wen has mixed feelings in his heart at the moment, this day has finally come, and regret has really become a permanent regret in the end.

"The second thing, given Aven's previous exploits, and his abilities. I have decided to confer the title of Barony Laques on Aven, and as for the title of baron, I will wait until Aven's military exploits and qualifications meet the requirements."

Count Morlor's words took the nobles by surprise, even Ellus. Many people looked at Ellus with some jealousy, his father was a baron, his son was also a baron, and he was married to the youngest daughter of the Count of Morol. In the future in Middlesex, the Elrus family can be said to be one person under ten thousand people.

Evan stepped forward and respectfully took the map and contract of Barony Larquis from the Count of Morlor. He looked at the parchment in his hand, and sighed softly in his heart, he was not so happy at the moment, but all this could only be kept in his stomach, and he could never talk to anyone, not even Delores. What you can do is to use your abilities as much as possible to protect everything you want to protect in the subsequent battle for supremacy, and even in the Viking invasion.

After the announcement, the Count of Morloll invited the nobles to a waiting banquet, which was preceded by several knightly duels for everyone's amusement, including the opening show in which Evan showed off his riding skills and attacked the armored dummy target with a rifle on his horse.

Evan had no objection to such a custom, and with the help of his squire, he turned on his horse, holding a shield in his left hand and a spear in his right, and looked solemnly at the dummy target not far away. The aristocrats who were watching looked at each other when they saw that Ai Wen was so serious, and they didn't know why the latter was so serious in such a simple test.

After a while, Ai Wen suddenly urged his horse forward, and with a fierce momentum, he rushed towards the target, as if his face was not a dummy, but his father's revenge. Scold! Evan roared, and his right hand spear stabbed out. With a bang, the wooden cavalry spear was directly broken in half under the huge impact, and the dummy target flew far away.

After completing the blow, Evan pulled his horse back and reported to Count Morlor. When the attendant brought back the dummy target, the entire jousting scene fell silent again. There was no damage to the dummy's target, not even the armor, but it was broken in two from the neck, and the stake that held the dummy in place was broken in two.

Count Morloll laughed, "Well, it's worthy of my daughter's marriage, and I saved me a piece of armor."

The nobles present couldn't help but roll their eyes when they heard the words of Count Morol, how could the armor that could be used in the martial arts demonstration be a good armor, it must be bad and could not be worse, and at this time, saving a piece of armor is completely opening their eyes and talking nonsense. But when they looked at the dummy again, there was a rather solemn look in their eyes.

Evan returned to his seat, and he didn't know if Count Morol had arranged it on purpose, and his seat was next to Delores.

"Aven, please take care of me in the future." Delores smiled and said what she had said at the inner city gate.

"In the future, I hope Delores can bear with me." Evan raised his glass and toasted Delores.

"Remember to make your own flag, don't forget." Count Morlore said in a sullen voice.

"Yes, Lord Count." Evan replied subconsciously.

"Huh?"

"Well, father-in-law."
