Chapter 120: A Mouse Poop
Claudius the Great stretched out his hand and pressed it to calm down the discussion in the audience, and announced loudly: "In view of Allen's great contribution to the Empire, the Empire has decided to grant Allen the title of Duke of the Empire, hereditary replacement, and in view of the cultivation of such an outstanding talent as Allen for the Empire, the Empire has decided to grant the title of Duke Algernon, Duke Allen's father, hereditary replacement." ”
There was silence in the audience, and then there was an incredible exclamation, and the atmosphere in the venue seemed to have been detonated, from silence to commotion in an instant.
According to Claudius the Great, it makes sense for this Allen to contribute two peerless formulas and canonize him as a hereditary duke, but the son has merit, and even his father is canonized as a hereditary duke, which is ridiculous, right? When did Claudius the Great do such a crazy thing?
Fortunately, Claudius the Great did not announce the fief given to Li Feng, otherwise the venue would not know what the chaos would be.
Claudius the Great pressed his hand twice, but could not restore calm to the venue.
The students are a little better, they don't have any specific feelings about the Duke of the Empire, it's just a noble title, there are more Duke of the Empire, and what they are surprised about is that the students who went to school with them in the academy were suddenly canonized with such a high title.
But the guests sitting in the front row are not as calm as the students, yes, the empire is vast, and there are not a few nobles with the title of duke, but when can the duke title be sealed out so hastily?
The birth of every imperial duke means that a major event has happened that is enough to shake the empire, and before being knighted, the emperor must also repeatedly discuss with his courtiers whether the reward is appropriate, and there has never been a surprise attack like this.
However, not all the guests were so excited, and a few people were so immersed that they didn't even show any surprise in their eyes.
The people who knew the inside story were not only Gerald and Amos, Claudius the Great wanted to canonize the two dukes out, of course, he would have to talk to the ministers who were close to him, otherwise the news that the emperor was coming to the academy today would not have spread among the nobles.
Although this was not a very formal occasion for knighthood, the Emperor still decided to canonize Li Feng here, and raised his voice: "Allen, please come forward." ”
The venue was chaotic, but the Great Emperor also had the cultivation of a high-level swordsman, full of energy, and his loud voice suppressed the noisy discussions.
Li Feng finally stopped looking at Teacher Daisy's face full of resentment, shook his magic robe, and calmly walked towards the rostrum.
An ordinary student was directly canonized as a hereditary duke, the academy had never had such a grand event before, and there may not be it in the future, it is the glory of all the students present to be able to witness such a grand event that has never happened for an eternity, and this event will definitely make them remember it for a lifetime.
Li Feng knew that he was going to be crowned a duke, and he had already made up for the etiquette in this regard, so he knelt on one knee and waited for the canonization.
Claudius the Great drew his sword and placed it flat on top of Li Feng's head, "Under the witness of God, the empire has one more truly credible and beloved companion, and glory and responsibility will always be by your side." ”
The emperor was very well prepared, the bishops of the church were invited, and the god stick recited a piece of nonsense, and it was Li Feng's turn to take the oath.
Li Feng put his hand on the Bible brought by the Divine Stick,* and swore an oath: "I swear to be kind to the weak, I swear to fight bravely*, I swear to fight against all mistakes, I swear to fight for the defenseless, I swear to help anyone who asks me for help, I swear not to hurt any woman, I swear to be sincere to my friends, I swear to die for what I love, I swear to dedicate my life to the Empire." ”
Nobility first evolved from knights, and the oath was similar to that of knights.
Someone on the side brought the canonized paperwork, and Claudius the Great handed the document to Li Feng, personally put on a crimson red velvet cloak for Li Feng, and finally put the crown symbolizing the duke's rights on the top of Li Feng's head.
The crown is inlaid with four mink skins, with a gold ring around the rim and eight red gold leaves.
After completing the steps such as coronation, Li Feng, the duke, will be counted, and from now on, he will be the Duke of Allen, and everything he has will be marked with his family's family emblem.
This knighthood ceremony is extremely simple, even if it is the lowest baron canonization ceremony, it will not be so hasty, but no matter how simple it is, Claudius the Great personally came forward to canonize the title, no one will feel that this duke is not weighty.
Now Li Feng doesn't need Amos as a backer, he can still walk sideways in the academy.
After completing the canonization ceremony, today's commendation meeting has come to an end, but Li Feng said a word to Claudius the Great with a smile, setting off a wave again*, "Your Majesty, today is so lively, why don't you announce another good news, the icing on the cake, my mentor Amos Archmage, has successfully advanced to the Archmage, the empire's high-end magic power, and there is another Optimus Pillar." ”
Gerald also learned the news on the road, and he didn't have time to inform the Emperor.
Claudius the Great perked up, "Is this true? ”
There are only two archmages in the empire, in addition to the dean, there is also a royal archmage, who rarely appears, the archmage is an unparalleled deterrent, the overall magic power of the Atlantis Empire is at the top level of the continent, but the high-end magicians have not been enough, and now they have finally made up for this shortcoming.
After receiving Li Feng's affirmative reply, the joy on Claudius' face could not be hidden, and he waved his hand again to interrupt the discussion in the audience, "Today I have to announce a great event for the empire." ”
Everyone sitting in the audience felt that their nerves were about to burst, and they didn't know what unexpected 'happy event' Claudius would announce again.
Gerald smiled clearly, he had already guessed that Li Feng probably told the Emperor about Amos's promotion, and the next moment Claudius the Great's words confirmed Gerald's guess: "Duke Allen's mentor, the Elder Wizard of Amos, has been successfully promoted to the Archmagister, and since then Atlantis has had three Archmagis, the high-end magical power of the empire, and since then it has stood at the top of the continent." ”
The crowd began to boil, the shouts were incessant, and many people even jumped up from their seats in excitement.
This news is completely different from Li Feng's knighthood, although Claudius the Great said that the two formulas donated by Li Feng were out of the blue, but after all, he had not seen it with his own eyes, and he was never so shocked.
But the empire has added a great mage, everyone knows what this means for the empire, even the students present know that high-end magic power is a sign of whether the empire is strong or not, and the people in the imperial capital always have a stronger sense of belonging to the empire, especially the young and enthusiastic students, so everyone is cheering to the heart's content.
Perhaps there were some ill-intentioned people present, but they could only follow the cheering crowd and make extremely happy expressions.
The air seemed to be filled with the smell of joy, so that everyone who breathed was infected by this atmosphere, even Li Feng couldn't help but show a smile.
Amos obviously didn't expect Claudius the Great to suddenly announce the news of his promotion at first, but since it was announced, Amos also cooperated.
A magical aura swept through his body, and Amos did not release any magic, he was already floating in the air, falling towards the rostrum.
This is the sign of the Great Magus, with its own powerful magic, and the repulsion between the earth, free to fly in the sky, and when the sky is free to fly, there is no consumption of its own magic, if necessary, the Great Magus can even fly in the sky all the time, never landing.
This scene made the originally excited crowd even more emotional.
Of course, there are also discordant people among them, at least Teacher Daisy won't cheer, Archmage Kleist's face was a little stunned, a little touched, and finally turned into a wry smile.
Another Abram Archmage of the Academy was also at the scene, his face relieved and a little lost.
The Archmagister of Epherath also rose to meet Amos, and the two of them soared in the air before they both landed on Claudius the Great's left and right.
The two archmaguses stood on Claudius the Great's left and right, like two Optimus Pillars, supporting the sky of the Empire.
This scene made everyone quiet, and they knelt down with joy and sincerity, and they recited the oath they took when they were enshrined with the most pious attitude, at first only the noble guests in front of them were reading, and then the students also began to read along, and the voices became louder and louder, resounding over the academy.
At this moment, Claudius the Great was full of spirit and pride.
He didn't expect that the original simple canonization ceremony would turn into this situation in the end, he had accepted countless oaths of allegiance, but only this time, even he himself felt a little enthusiastic.
Thinking of this, Claudius the Great couldn't help but look at Li Feng out of the corner of his eye, but after this look, Claudius the Great immediately regretted it, and his emotions were completely destroyed by this glance.
Li Feng also knelt on one knee decently, but this guy was clearly studying the canonization edict he had just gotten in his hand.
Fortunately, Claudius the Great's movements were relatively hidden, and not many people followed Claudius's gaze and noticed Li Feng's movements, otherwise a mouse feces would spoil a pot of soup.
However, it is not that no one noticed Li Feng's movements, Gerald, a person who is very familiar with the emperor, saw the emperor's face stiffen for a moment at the first time, in fact, there are many people present who are very familiar with the emperor, others saw the emperor's strange appearance, and they don't know why, but Gerald immediately thought of Li Feng, and saw at a glance that Li Feng was smirking at the canonization edict in his hand, and Gerald was only crying and laughing in his heart.
