Chapter 20: Knight Selde!
After a while, Karl reacted violently, quickly lowered his head, put his hand on his chest, and said: "Dear Lord Count Rens, I, Carl Dias, am willing to be your vassal, oppose your enemies, and protect everything you have!" My blade is always pointing where you are pointing! From now on, I will be as sincere and undeceived as a vassal to a vassal to a vassal! ”
Listening to Karl's words of swearing-in allegiance, the smile on Count Lens's face widened, and he was very satisfied with the other party's actions.
Just now, Karl was stunned and was also seen by him, which aroused a trace of playfulness in his heart, even the young man who had always behaved calmly was not stirred by his reward?
"Oh my God, knighthoods, manors and villages? This and this ......"
"This reward is too generous!"
Below, the reward of the Count of Lens caused the nobles to throb, and everyone was talking about it for a while.
"It's a great honor."
The nobles' eyes were red, and envy and jealousy appeared in their hearts.
"That's how you can get so many rewards, if you take Lorraine......"
The nobles couldn't help but think that there were still many opportunities to make meritorious contributions in the future, and if they could capture Lorraineburg, it would be even more immortal, and the Earl would definitely not be stingy with his land at that time, and maybe a few more barons could be born.
And Sir Dias below is also in tears, and his face is full of joy to see his youngest son being knighted, which is the honor of Karl and the honor of the Dias family.
As for Pyne, he had an envious look, he was still the quasi-knight, and what about his younger brother? Now he is a real knight, with his own fiefdom, God, it is a manor, the manor is rich, but it is not a barren place like the Black Thorn Village, and there is a village as a fief, which has made his younger brother live better than most knights.
He felt a little awkward when he thought that even the armor on his body and the war horse he loved were given by his younger brother.
Of course, he only has envy for his younger brother, but there is no jealousy.
Karl heard the whispers of the nobles below, and he also knew in his heart that this time the reward of the Earl of Lens was indeed too rich, even beyond his achievements, but he inadvertently glanced at the encouragement on the corner of Sir Charles' mouth and understood that many of them were due to Sir Charles.
I'm afraid that Sir Charles is maneuvering around it, which makes Earl Lens generous.
Karl secretly rejoiced in his heart, this time the gift was too right, and fortunately, Sir Charles is the kind of person who will definitely repay after receiving something, in fact, he can completely accept the sword and do nothing, this kind of Carl who takes advantage and does not do anything has seen too much in his previous life.
"I guess I'm from Sir Charles' faction......" Carl's thoughts flashed through his mind, but now he did need to hug Sir Charles' thighs, and it didn't hurt him to repay the other man's thighs now.
"Very good Carl, this is what you deserve, as for the ceremony of the knighthood, it is a special period, and when the war is over, I will hold it for you, and I can pay for it." The Earl of Lens decided that the good guy would do it to the end, and since he had won over the other party, he would finish it all in one go.
"Thank you, Lord Count." Karl hurriedly responded.
"Alright, you go down first." Count Lens nodded and said.
Karl replied and returned to Sir Dias, and his father and brother immediately came to him.
"Carl, congratulations, now you are a true knight, you have brought honor to our family, I did not expect that one day my son could actually get an entire manor and village, which is a great honor." Sir Dias patted Karl on the shoulder and said proudly.
"I don't remember that I brought such an honor to the Dias family." Pine answered, but the sourness in his words could be heard.
"Pine, my son, jealousy of your brother is not the character of a knight, and I believe you can make your way out of the world." Ser Dias shook his head, but eventually reassured that Pyne was the one who inherited his title.
"My brother, I have just taken a few good fortunes, and with your heroism you will surely achieve greater things than I have in the future." Carl also said that he didn't want to ruin his relationship with his brother because of this.
"Ha my brother, do you think I'm going to be jealous of you? No, no, no, I just hope that when I pass by your manor with the army of my castle, I can go to your place to resupply food hahahaha. Pyne waved his hand.
Karl was stunned for a moment, then chuckled and said, "Of course it's no problem, if I can entertain Earl Pine, then I will be honored." ”
"Don't worry, you'll see that day." Pyne gave Carl a light thump in the chest.
Seeing that his two sons got along well, Sir Dias also had a kind smile on his face.
At this time, Baron Thors's eyes were like poisonous snakes, looking at Sir Dias's family in rejoicing.
Suddenly, his heart jumped, as if he felt something, and quickly retracted his gaze and lowered his head.
Count Lens's eyes drooped slightly, as if he understood something, and he no longer looked at Baron Tórse, but he already had a grudge against the other party in his heart.
……
After returning from the main tent to the residence of the Dias family, Sir Dias took a jug of ale to celebrate with his sons, after all, such a happy event is rare in life.
"Father, I still don't know where my fiefdom is?" Karl asked after taking a few sips of ale.
"Do you mean Syrd Manor and Syrd Village?" Sir Dias thought for a moment.
"Remember when I told you before I came that the Earl of Lens had two castles, right?" Sir Dias said.
"I remember that one is Lensburg, and the other must be the Winterburg that the Earl of Lens spoke of today." Carl recalled.
"Yes, the other is Winterburg, a frontier castle that rules the westernmost frontier of our entire principality, and the Sild manor that the Earl of Lens gave you, if I remember correctly, is a manor closer to the border in Wintershire, as is the village of Winter." Sir Dias gulped down a glass of ale.
The alcohol content of this era was not very high, so Carl was not afraid of a hangover.
"Border?" Karl took a breath of cold air.
"Well, it's indeed the border, and it looks like you're going to become a border nobleman too." Sir Dias shook his head.
"Father, I've heard that the Flo people in the west are very brutal." Pine answered.
"Yes, the Flo people often come to harass the borders and plunder the peasants, they do not believe in the Lord, they only believe in their brutal false gods, they only know killing." Sir Dias said hatefully.
"God, doesn't that mean that Carl is afraid to face a threat from the Flo?" Pine exclaimed.
Sir Dias pondered for a moment and said, "I'm afraid yes, but don't worry too much, the manor's defense capability is beyond your imagination, and it is impossible for the Flo people to attack the manor, and the Flo people generally come to plunder the peasants are only small forces, and your brother may be able to deal with it." ”
"Don't worry, father, I will definitely be able to deal with those Flo people, those Flo people dare to come and plunder the peasants of my territory, I will definitely let them not eat and walk around!" Carl was confident.
"Carl, don't be too proud, although the Flo people will only be a small force to plunder, but it also gives many border nobles a headache, even the Earl is often restless because of the Flo people, otherwise you will not only see an army of five or six hundred people besieging Lorrainburg, but more than a thousand troops besieging Lorraineburg, the Earl in order not to be seized by the Flo people and left half of the troops to defend Winterburg, you know how difficult the Flo people are."
Seeing that Karl was full of confidence, Sir Dias couldn't help but remind him that he was afraid that his youngest son would be complacent because of his momentary success, and that this wine was not good.
Karl immediately put on an open face, he knew that what his father said was right, and he could not underestimate the enemy that even the Earl of Lens had to deal with seriously.
"What are you afraid of, or I can help you fight off those Flos when the time comes." Pine patted his chest and said.
"Haha, if Brother Pine is willing to make a move, I will hand over all my future forces to you to command, with your bravery, those Flo people are not worth mentioning." Carl also laughed with him, and slapped a little pony ass by the way.
"Of course no problem!" Pine nodded haughtily.
"By the way, Karl, now that you are a knight and have your own fiefdom, you are qualified to make your own family coat of arms." Sir Dias seemed to have just thought of this, and said.
"My family coat of arms?" Carl also reacted, the second son has a title, and it is already a new family, and he is now the patriarch of this lineage.
"I remember that there was a good heraldic maker in Rensburg, and you might be able to meet him after the war." Sir Dias suggested.
"Okay, I understand, father." Karl nodded, and at the same time he was planning to find someone, that is, Allen, who had provided the Zama nails in the first place, and he wanted to bring the young man to his territory, perhaps his whimsical ideas could help him even more.
"What kind of coat of arms are you going to design?" Sir Dias asked.
"What kind of heraldic ......," Karl pondered, his fingers tapping lightly on the tabletop.
"I think the eagle is still the main body of the coat of arms, and then blue is the main color, the eagle symbolizes the Dias family, and the blue symbolizes the sky." Carl said.
"An eagle soaring in the sky? Not bad. Sir Dias nodded, and he was quite pleased with the design.
