The end of the war did not allow the nobles to leave Dortmund, and after Karl was retained, they readily agreed to participate in a grand ceremony, and he remembered Teresa's advice to him that stinginess in the land could not be exchanged for the loyalty of his subordinates, and that each loyalist hoped that his monarch would be willing to divide his land.

Both the ancient people of the West and the East had a different kind of passion for land, because it was a wealth that could be passed down from generation to generation and would never depreciate.

Relying on the collective existence of the family, such a fief is the best guarantee to maintain the prosperity of a family, and Karl knows that even in the previous life, there are still many nobles in Europe who own land.

And this time, Karl needs to win hearts and minds by dividing his land to recognize meritorious people.

If the most exciting thing was undoubtedly Sylvia, he never imagined that he would become a nobleman canonized as a baron in Dortmund, and with the title he would also receive a castle.

This made Owen and the others very envious, and always complained that Sylvia was lucky and got the task of participating in the final battlefield.

In fact, Sylvia felt the same way, he felt that God had favored him, and at the same time he was grateful to Carl.

Of course, Carl will not chill the hearts of Owen and others, as long as there is enough merit, they will be given a piece of land as a fief, and such a receipt is already very rare.

But there is one exception to this, that is, Teresa, if you really want to take credit, Teresa's man in black has undoubtedly made a huge contribution, if it weren't for the operation of the man in black, then there would be no Stephanie, Frida the king of Denmeka will not choose to withdraw his troops, and Lopur, who has the support of the Wikipedians, will not let them go.

But Karl didn't canonize Teresa, it's not that he has an opinion about her, it's powerless, if he chooses to canonize a guy who was born as a villain, then his reputation will stink, my blood is noble, so I can get power and wealth, this is the consciousness of the nobles, if you let a villain be side by side with them, they will be hostile to Karl because of shame.

In fact, canonizing Sylvia is already a bad act, but Sylvia is indeed heroic on the battlefield, and the mercenary background is at least much better than that of the villain, so those nobles don't say much.

Of course, in order not to make Teresa feel cold, Carl still made a lot of compensation, at least the secret wealth or something would not lack the other party.

……

"Sylvia, I think you need a more perfect dress, you guy is lucky, Lord Earl is willing to hold such a grand ceremony for you, there are many nobles in attendance, if your costume loses Lord Earl's face......" Kevin looked at Sylvia's outfit and shook his head.

Sylvia was a little embarrassed, scratched her head and said, "This is what I wore when I was canonized as a knight, God, I spent my money on my armor all these years, and I never thought that I could be so valued by Lord Earl, Baron...... I don't have enough savings to ask the tailors to sew a gorgeous dress for me. ”

Kevin was a little crying and laughing, but he knew that what Sylvia said was the truth, don't look at Carl is so glamorous now, in fact, the Count of Dortmund and his court members are living a tight life, Carl only owned Sylde Manor, although it was a rich manor, but it was also facing the threat of the Flo people, Karl had to invest a lot of money in the construction of the army, the effect was good, at least for so long Selde Manor has not been looted by the Flo people, but has become more and more prosperous.

But the downside is also obvious, except for the necessary needs of life, Carl and his entourage do not have much income.

After all, Dortmund has been in war since the occupation, basically everything is mainly based on war, they can also understand, and then keep Dortmund then everything makes sense, so in the middle of this Karl had to allocate a sum of money to carry out the investiture ceremony, which made Carl poor afterwards and almost had to go to the merchant to borrow money.

Sylvia and Kevin both exist as leaders, and in order not to die on the battlefield, they naturally invest their small amount of money in equipment, which has caused this situation.

A set of dresses that can be seen doesn't cost much, but a gorgeous dress worthy of a baron's status is not simple, not that the tailor is expensive, nor is the fabric expensive, of course, these two are also an important place, the most important thing is that there will be no less decorations on a gorgeous dress, glasswork, gemstones, etc., each of which is a big price, Carl is just a set of such clothes, and most of the others are ordinary dresses, prepared for the ceremony of conferring the earl.

Of course, Sylvia doesn't need to be as gorgeous as Carl, but even simple ones are worth a lot of money.

"With so many nobles involved this time, your prestige and dominance will climb, and you must have a good dress. Well, I'll lend you my money, and you can go and have the court tailor make you a set. Kevin groaned and said.

"This ......" Sylvia hesitated, not that she didn't want to, but Kevin didn't look like he was rich.

"Okay, don't be hypocritical, you have to pay it back, I don't want to be canonized as a baron in the future and be as embarrassed as you." Kevin said with a smile.

"Thank you very much." Sylvia was a little moved, in fact, as the commander of the two corps under the command of Count Dortmund, Sylvia and Kevin got along very well, and they both had a good relationship.

"Go ahead, your ceremony won't be long before it happens, Lord Earl is already preparing, you need to hurry." Kevin patted Sylvia on the shoulder and said with a smile.

"Hmm." Sylvia nodded vigorously.

……

"Phew...... Wow......"

The constant echoing of the auditorium bell gives people a sense of heaviness and grandeur, and the nobles who witnessed it at this moment have already arrived.

Religious activities such as throwing holy water are still in the hands of Brother Brando, at least so far there is no news of the bishop appointed by the Pope on the Holy City side, and it is not known which bishop will send Dortmund to become a member of his court, but before that, Karl prefers to leave these matters to Brother Brando, who has long experience in cooperation.

Under the gaze of everyone, Sylvia, dressed in a gorgeous gown with solemnity on her face, took a step at a time, and at the front of him Carl sat on the throne, smiling and looking at him.

As if greatly inspired, Sylvia took a deep breath and became more determined.

Karl smiled, he saw the shadow of Sylvia when he was first canonized as a knight of Sylde, wasn't he just as apprehensive and excited at the beginning?

Sylvia walked up to Karl and got down on one knee, her right hand resting on her left chest, her head hanging slightly.

"Sylvia, as a believer in the Lord, your deeds are evident to all, your glory is enough to prove your valor, and I, as a fair earl, will reward you with the rewards you deserve, and I hereby canonize you the Baron of Fort Deno, and the Barony of Fort Deno and the barony to which you belong will be your fief." Carl's voice echoed through the church.

Kevin, Berg, Brother Derian, Konstantin and others on the side all moved in their hearts, and the envy in their eyes could not be concealed.

Fort Denort is on the left side of the territory of Dortmund, closer to the Carol region, this barony is not too rich, but it is also a barony with a castle, which is definitely a great honor for a mercenary-turned.

"If I ...... too"

They couldn't help but think, their eyes were firm, and they seemed to be eager to go to the battlefield now, among them, Berg and Konstantin were a little helpless, they were not nobles who went to the battlefield, they were just civilians, if it was really a credit to earn speed, it would definitely not be comparable to Kevin and others.

They are still like this, and Sylvia, as the protagonist, is even more excited to the point that he trembles all over, he can almost hear his heartbeat, fluttering, it is irrepressible excitement.

Cal kept smiling, picked up the twig that symbolized the land from the tray in Brother Brando's hand and placed it in Sylvia's hand.

The small twig seemed to weigh a thousand pounds, making Sylvia's hand feel extremely heavy.

"Sylvia, as of today, you can put the noble von on your surname." Karl said majestically, at this moment he seemed to have become the old Earl of Lens.

"Thank you, my sovereign, I swear eternal allegiance to you, pay tribute to you, serve you in the military, my sword will always be aimed at your enemies, defend everything you have!" Sylvia shouted.

Listening to Sylvia's oath, Carl nodded with satisfaction, although many times people do not necessarily keep the oath, but it is a necessary process, and the oath made in front of so many nobles in this era is still very effective.

"Hahaha, congratulations to Baron de Noburg, fresh blood has been injected into the noble bloodline."

"It's something to celebrate."

One by one, the nobles who witnessed the surroundings stood up and congratulated Sylvia, no matter what the other party was before, he was now a real baron with his own land.

Sylvia was a little dazed, it was the first time he had faced such a situation.

Suddenly, a hand was placed on his shoulder and patted, and Sylvia turned her head to see Karl's encouraging eyes.

"Go Baron Denorbourg, it's yours today." Carl said with a smile.

Sylvia nodded fiercely, and looked back at the nobles, this time among them.
