The band that Friar Derian had invited from the Arrail region played their instruments, and the beautiful music was recalled in the castle, and the nobles in the castle hall enjoyed the beautiful atmosphere, the weather in the northwest was really cold, but the fireplace in the castle made them feel comfortable.

In order to make a good impression on these nobles and show his financial resources, Carl also put a lot of effort into the layout of the hall, the colorful woolen cloth was hung on the columns around it as decoration, the gems were also decorated, and Carl's flags were also evenly distributed, so that everyone could see the sharp eagle eye.

The solemn guards standing in armor separated into two columns and guarded the corridor, and the solemn appearance made many nobles mutter, constantly reminding themselves that this was a military aristocrat who had taken land from the infidels.

Suddenly, the music changed to a lighter tune, and the maids came out at the right time with all kinds of delicacies, and in a short time the long tables covered with cloth were full of food, and the nobles wandered between the long tables, talking with the nobles they were interested in, sharing the food, which was what they were best at.

"Oh my God, how the hell is this done? The white bread here is so soft! A noblewoman was disdainful when she saw the white bread on the long table, thinking that Carl was rich but just like that, but when she took a bite she was stunned, a taste she had never tasted before.

The nobles around her were a little confused, but they also tried it, and then they were all stunned.

They couldn't wait to try the other dishes, and finally found that every dish was not the same as what they usually eat! The same thing, but here they can hardly stop talking, and it will not be long before Karl will have the title of a gourmand again, and the gossip is always very fast among the nobles.

In a conspicuous position in the hall, Baron Dias's family gathered there, which was the position that Karl had specially prepared for them, after all, strictly speaking, Baron Dias was the patriarch of the clan, and Karl was just the patriarch of a branch family.

Except for Pyne, who was still eating and drinking, Baron Dias and Lady Aisha did not lose their temper, after all, they had already tasted the food provided by Carl, and although they were still amazed, they were not surprised.

On the contrary, Baron Dias's attention was not on the food at all, he just looked at the layout of the hall and the guards, whenever his eyes fell on the wood coat of arms of the Dias family behind the lord's throne, he always reluctantly looked away, that was his pride!

"Carl's financial strength and strength are beyond my expectations." Baron Dias exclaimed softly, his eyes were vicious, and he could naturally see a lot of things from those guards, it was a group of veterans who had been on the battlefield, and more than once!

The cloth, the gems, or even the specially decorated flags were not bargains, at least not for him.

"How good, only such financial resources and strength are worthy of Carl's identity." Lady Aisha's smile was a sign of Karl's great accomplishments.

"yes." Baron Dias nodded.

"Conqueror of Dortmund, Lord Karl has arrived!"

The voice was high and strong, and everyone in the hall heard it clearly, but it was the voice of Brother Derian, who, as the palace minister, took the initiative to take over this meaningful job, and he swore that he had never shouted it in his life.

As his voice fell, Karl entered the gate, followed by Archbishop Sandri, cross, tiara, sword...... All kinds of needed props are held by the minions.

Archbishop Sandri was dressed in a heavy robe, the cloak could be used as a mop all the way if someone hadn't dragged him, and he also wore a crown on his head that must symbolize his archbishop, and the whole person changed into a serious and holy expression, at this moment he was the real archbishop of the Archbishop of Aletzde!

"Whoa!"

With Karl's arrival, all the nobles stood up when they had nothing to do, which was a sign of respect for him.

Carl couldn't help but sigh that he was just the guy who had to stand up because of the arrival of others, and now he has become a big man who takes the initiative to salute.

"Lord Albert congratulates you and presents you with a set of ceramic utensils." The messenger of Count Albert congratulated.

This is an earl from the more northern realms, one of the vassals of the Duke of Rizland, and it is clear that the Duke of Rizland's decision to accept Karl as his vassal has made his vassals take it seriously, after all, there is one more great nobleman in the line of the Duke of Rizland.

In fact, all the counts under the Duke of Rizland, including Count Albert, sent messengers, and they were nothing more than gifts of the same value.

"Thank you, Lord Earl Albert, for me." Carl smiled and returned the salute.

After the envoys of Count Albert, many messengers came out one after another to present gifts to their masters, leaving a good impression on the new earl who was about to be born.

Carl returned the salute one by one, after all, these were the people who came to celebrate him, and he was also happy.

"Baron Tors congratulates you and presents you with an oil painting, an oil painting by a famous artist." Surprisingly, Baron Thor actually sent an envoy to participate, when he heard this name, he also froze, he hadn't heard of Baron Thor for a long time, and even faintly forgot him, in a sense, Karl is no longer on the same level as him, so naturally he doesn't have to care too much about his existence.

"Really...... Replace me with more barons. Karl groaned, he didn't know that Baron Trust was a gift to himself, and he wanted to resolve the conflict with the Dias family? Carl doesn't believe half of the punctuation, although he didn't deliberately understand, but he also knew that Baron Dias and others were targeted by Baron Thor, although the other party has converged a little recently because of Carl's rise, but it's really just convergence!

If you don't understand, Carl doesn't bother to think about it first, the most important thing now is the knighthood ceremony, and everything else is later.

Important, after these messengers were over, the messenger of the Duke of Rizlan came out.

"Congratulations to the Duke of Rizland, who has prepared a delicate suit of armor for you!" Carl was shocked, although he couldn't see what the armor looked like now, but Carl believed that it would definitely not be bad, and Duke Rizlan couldn't just send a pair of chain mail to perfunctory himself.

And to be able to use a duke as an important vassal gift for his armor, this really made him look forward to it.

"I have brought a contract by order of the Duke, and I ask you to complete the conclusion of the vassal relationship with the Duke through the contract after the knighthood ceremony." The Duke of Rizland's emissary added that this was the reason he had come to the Northern Realm today.

"Of course, that's what I'm supposed to do." Karl nodded, allegiance to the Duke of Rizlan was a decision that had already been made, and it was also rumored that it was impossible for him to return, otherwise the saliva of the nobles would drown him.

"The ceremony begins!"

The time was almost up, and the congratulations of the nobles were almost over, and Brother Derian shouted, and the nobles immediately fell silent.

Karl walked to his throne to the sound of solemn music, and Archbishop Sandri stepped up the stairs before him.

This ritual was sacred, as was Archbishop Sandri in his crown and robes, and no one would confuse the solemn archbishop, at least at this moment, with the usual old man.

"Please get started." Karl said calmly, he had the best equipment for everything.

Hearing this, Archbishop Sandri straightened up, his hand brushing over Karl's head, as if God was caressing his own child.

"The glory and gospel of the Lord are spread on the earth, everyone listens to the voice of the Lord and lives in this world, and I now grant you the title of Count Carl Dias on behalf of God, and I hope that you can protect your subjects, follow the rules set by God, and from this day onwards, your surname will be given the noble Vaon!"

Archbishop Sandri's voice was not loud, but it was full of energy, echoing in the hall for a long time, and with the solemn tune, it formed a sense of sacredness.

Archbishop Sandri took the sword and the cross and gave it to Carl, and took the crown and slowly placed it on Carl's head.

A strange feeling flashed through Carl's mind, the crown was not heavy, but he felt heavy.

He suddenly had a bad taste for what would happen if, following the example of Napoleon the Great, he refused to be crowned by Archbishop Sandri and chose to take it with him.

However, this idea was immediately dispelled by himself as soon as it appeared, he was not Napoleon, he did not have that kind of qualifications and strength, if he really did that, it would not only offend the church and the Duke of Rizland, but even other nobles would wage war against him on the grounds of questioning his piety, he would not and would not dare to do so, it would be his own death.

The knighthood ceremony proceeded smoothly without a trace of waves, but this kind of ceremony is a kind of waves, and everyone who watched the ceremony was uneasy, some were happy and some were worried.

Baron Dias was already in tears when he saw this scene, and it wasn't until this moment that the Díaz family really had an earl, an earl recognized by God!

Mrs. Aisha clasped her hands together and praised the Virgin Mary in her heart, and the curvature of her mouth never let go.

The moment Pine saw the crown on Carl's head, the corners of his mouth twitched, but he quickly calmed down again, and his expression turned into the purest blessing, after all, it was a family.

In the presence of God, the Count of Dortmund completed his knighthood, and since then the noble community has been infused with fresh blood, at least in the eyes of other nobles.

After completing the knighthood ceremony, Karl's full name should now be Carl von Dias.
