Chapter 914: Allegiance Pact
With a muffled sound, Van Ente picked up the seal cast in pure gold and stamped it fiercely on Hu Xinzhu's new passport.
The fresh and hot Viscount of White Stone was born, Bamb Hart White Stone, the Viscount family of the Vias Commercial Federation for more than 200 years, and in its heyday owned two medium-sized cities as fiefs. But the Baishi family, which quickly rose but declined, now has only one manor, one mansion and one storefront left for Hu Xinzhu to inherit.
However, Hu Xinzhu didn't care about this, it was just a part of the various proposals he proposed to Lin Qi.
Because of Princess Qingli's existence, many people around Lin Qi can come to the House of Nobles to buy titles that match their identities, and appear in various guises everywhere in the Western Continent. In addition, these people around Lin Qi are all powerful, and each of them can control several god puppets to walk freely outside at the same time.
An invisible, large net that engulfs anyone, is unfolded.
Hu Xinzhu smiled proudly, he put all the contract documents and passports in the name of Viscount Baishi into the space ring, and then carefully searched for them in the title system sold by the House of Nobles. He's decided to give Granda a knighthood, and although it's a head, he has to pick a nice name, right?
Knights, as the lowest but vital class of the aristocratic system in the Western continent, the huge knight class is the foundation of the great nobles, and the core combat power of the great nobles.
The predecessors of many military nobles were the knights of their own suzerains.
Among the knightly titles taken out by the Vyas Noble Council, there are twenty-three first-class knights, one hundred and seventy-two second-class knights, and more than five hundred and ninety third-class knights. Hu Xinzhu directly abandoned those second- and third-level knights and chose a title with very good conditions among the first-level knights.
Knight of the Black Thorns, a first-class knight of the Vyas Merchant Federation, this knighthood was conferred during a war between the Federation and the Harran Empire sixty years ago. His suzerain's family was an obscure earl family. But seven years ago, the Earl family was wiped out, and the family bloodline was gone, and the current Knight of the Black Thorns led twenty private soldiers to rescue the suzerain's family. As a result, the whole army was wiped out.
The heir of the Knight of the Black Thorn sold the title to the House of Lords, exchanged it for five hundred gold coins, and then disappeared without a trace.
In the past seven years, there have also been some small merchants who have moved the idea of this first-class knighthood, and the ransom amount of 3,500 gold coins is really not expensive, not to mention that under the title of this knight of black thorns, there is a small farm covering an area of two hundred acres.
But because of this feuding family of the Black Thorn Knight family. The family of the Blood Thorn Knight, who is also a first-class knight, is now prosperous, there are first-class knights in the family, and there are three family members who have the title of second-class knights, and there are sixty elite private soldiers in the family, and there are three small villages with a population of more than 5,000.
Such a powerful knight family, and with a dignified earl family standing behind it, no one dared to buy the title of Knight of the Black Thorn from the House of Nobles. Because the current Blood Thorn Knight has already released the rumor - whoever buys this title and inherits the title of Black Thorn Knight will be ruthlessly attacked by the Blood Thorn Family.
"A knighthood with a feud?" Hu Xinzhu smiled mysteriously.
Van Ente laughed too. He lowered his voice and muttered under his breath, "Of course, there are better ones." But, you know, any title of nobility with a history is not going to be cheap!"
Hu Xinzhu shrugged his shoulders, he took the official document representing the identity of the Black Thorn Knight, and hooked his finger to Granda, who was standing aside: "Granda, sign this official document, you will be my vassal knight of the White Stone Family from now on, Black Thorn Knight! Pick up your sword, pick up your shield, and protect my family's property." It is your duty to preserve the glory of my family!"
The flesh on the faces of the old nobles trembled violently, and they wanted to laugh, but they couldn't.
Look at the appearance of Grande, less than five feet tall, skinny and old and decayed. Such a bad old man, a miser who is so stingy to the extreme, even reluctant to eat a full meal, hungry and full all day long, can he also become a qualified knight?
The great god of war is above - at this moment, all the nobles of the House of Lords temporarily abandoned their belief in the goddess of wealth and instead chanted the name of the god of war! O great god of war, those nobles can be weak and degenerate, but the grassroots forces of the nobility, the knights who occupy an important position in the army, each of them is a powerful warrior!
A person with the title of warrior is not necessarily a knight.
But a qualified knight will definitely be a formidable warrior.
Generally speaking, a first-class knight, he must at least have the combat power of the middle level or above, and he must be proficient in military battle formations, proficient in various means of killing, and proficient in the use of at least five different weapons and bows.
But Granda, this bad old man who is going to fall in the wind, let him be a knight, and rely on him to protect the wealth and glory of the family?
Viscount Shiraishi, are you kidding?
Van Ente shook his head lightly and glanced at Hu Xinzhu disapprerovingly. Then Van Ente's pupils suddenly shrank to the size of a pinpoint, and he stared at Hu Xinzhu deadly, watching Hu Xinzhu slowly take out a sword scabbard from the space ring that was extremely gorgeous, and a strange unicorn python long sword was inlaid with abstract gold and silver threads.
A long sword that was four feet long and exuded a faint chill throughout its body, making Van Entt and other nobles shiver together.
Van Ente suddenly remembered his judgment about Hu Xinzhu's identity just now—this was a child of a family sent by a military aristocrat to the Vyas Federation to make some arrangements and plans. This long sword can undoubtedly prove Hu Xinzhu's identity, this is at least a top-level magic weapon, look at the cold air it emits, the water cups in the office are frozen with a thin layer of ice!
Well, backed by a powerful military aristocratic family, it's no wonder that our Viscount Shiraishi doesn't take the threat of the Blood Thorn Knight seriously.
Under the complicated eyes of many nobles, Granda signed his name on the official document with great interest, and from then on, he became the heir of the Knight of the Black Thorns! In the future, he will be named after the Black Thorns in his clan name, and he will also have his own family crest, a blood-colored shield surrounded by black thorns.
Van Ente sighed and handed his identification to Granda, the lucky old miser, who had become a nobleman. Van Ente never thought that the House of Lords would have any entanglement with Granda, this old miser, he would never let a copper child slip into the House of Lords, but now, he has become a nobleman of the Federation!
After Granda signed the official document, Hu Xinzhu drew the sword at his waist, and the long sword rested flat on Granda's shoulder.
Granda fell to her knees with great cooperation, and although she had never been canonized, this did not prevent Granda from knowing how to accept it. At least in the decades of Granda's life, he had seen similar scenes countless times.
Humbly lowered his white-haired head in front of Hu Xinzhu, and Granda obediently put her right hand on her heart.
Hu Xinzhu said lightly: "In front of the distinguished elders of the House of Nobles and the noble gentlemen, I canonize the Black Thorn Knight Granda as the chief guardian knight of my White Stone Family. Destroy my enemies with your sword, and guard my family with your shield. ”
The long sword gently slapped Granda's shoulder three times, and Hu Xinzhu frowned, and suddenly shook his thighs and laughed.
"Well, I'll admit it, those words just now are a joke! Black Thorn Knight Granda, you can't have the slightest combat power!"
Van Ente and the others almost vomited blood and fell to the ground, but at this time, the canonization was completed, and you actually remembered this?
Granda raised his head in great aggrievedness, he admitted that he had no combat power, but the respected Sect Master, His Excellency Viscount Shiraishi, could you not say it so directly? This hurts people's self-esteem! Especially now that Granda thinks that he is also a member of the nobility, this is even more sad!
Hu Xinzhu smiled triumphantly, he looked at Granda and smiled: "Use your gold coins to destroy my enemies and protect my people!
Granda, Van Ente and the others were amazed at the same time, the goddess of wealth is incomparably great, and her strength is the strongest!
Hu Xinzhu took out a magic contract: "Then, Granda, the knight of the Black Thorns, sign this contract of allegiance! You, as well as your children and grandchildren, and all your clansmen, will be loyal to me! If you break your oath one day...... A trillion gold coins for liquidated damages, I think, that's very reasonable!"
Van Ente and the others only felt a burst of fishy sweetness in their throats, a trillion gold coins in liquidated damages?
Gods above, this is the most terrible contract in the history of the Western Continent! Even those demons in the abyss world, they will stole your soul at most, but they will never ask for such a high amount of compensation! A trillion gold coins? Great gods, how much is that?
Granta just glanced at the Pact of Allegiance, and then signed her name on it without hesitation.
A flash of magical light flashed on the contract, and a cloud of fire enveloped the deed of allegiance, imprinting Granda's name into the contract made of monster skin. Hu Xinzhu smiled with satisfaction, the contract is completed, and the compensation of one trillion gold coins is paid? Granda, you and your children and grandchildren, you will be slaves to Hu Xinzhu for generations!
Thinking of the smugness, Hu Xinzhu suddenly laughed out loud, he raised his long sword to the sky and smiled, that look was no different from the demon descending into the world, which frightened the old and young nobles in the office to retreat.
