231 【Light of the Heavenly Wing】
Yaruf, the royal palace.
It is a chalk palace located in the heart of the royal capital.
The chalk palace was grander and taller than any building Rieg had ever seen, and had a sense of majesty that somewhat did not correspond to his impression of a royal palace.
In Rige's impression, the so-called royal palace should be the kind of splendid and splendid palace, and the chalk palace in front of him is more of an inorganic feeling than a gorgeous palace, somewhat similar to a steel fortress.
Sitting in Franzel's carriage, Rieg watched the palace through the window of the carriage while chatting with Yuri without saying a word.
"By the way, here's for you."
At this moment, Yuri suddenly handed Rig something. It was a medal.
The medallion is engraved with a sword, which seems to have been pinned to the chest, and the material is not ordinary metal, but some rare magical metal.
"What is this?"
Rig flipped through the medal and asked.
"This is the Order of the Swordsman."
Yuri answered Riger's question.
"Swordsman Medal?" Li Ge was stunned for a moment, and then said in surprise: "This is the Order of the Swordsman? You actually gave this to me directly?"
The Order of the Swordsman is the proof of the Swordsman, and it is an honor pursued by countless swordsmen.
In addition to the Juggernaut, the Swordsman is the most admired and admired swordsman in the world.
The highest quality squire pursued by most magicians is the swordsman, and even the knights of the kingdom and the major nobles regard the swordsman as a superior talent and a backbone of the war, and many forces even want to join the swordsman.
Just look at Yuri, as a strategic-level magician, only Marilyn, Ain, and Ian are the three squires under her command who are swordsmen, and the rest needless to say, one is very good.
Therefore, many fledgling swordsmen take becoming a regular swordsman as their first goal, and even many swordsmen regard this as their life goal, training their sword skills hard for this moment, in order to be awarded.
Including the aforementioned St. Nidol and Sorok, the most important page of their life history reads "When did you get the Order of the Swordsman and become a Swordsman", so you can imagine how valuable this thing is.
Under the sword master, the highest glory of the swordsman is the right swordsman.
And the number of sword saints is naturally impossible to be too strong to become a true swordsman, which is already the ultimate goal in the minds of many people.
Now, Yuri gave the medal directly to Rig.
"Are you okay?"
Rieg was worried.
"What's the problem?" Yuri said lightly, "You are already recognized as a senior swordsman, in this case, it is just a matter of course that I will award you a medal."
The Order of the Swordsman is something that can only be awarded by the lords of the major realms.
As long as it is recognized by the lord and it is considered that he really has the strength of the rank of a swordsman, then the lord can award him a medal and award him the medal of the swordsman.
As the Marquis of Franzel and the lord of the Franzel Domain, Yuri naturally has the right to award the Order of the Swordsman.
Of course, this thing can't be issued casually, if it is found that it does not have the corresponding strength after it is issued, not only will the person be punished, but the lord will also be held accountable.
Ke Li was already recognized as a person with the strength of a senior swordsman, so Yuri could naturally award this thing to him casually.
"Put it on first." Yuri said: "If you want to become a sword master, the first and foremost condition is to hold the Righteous Swordsman Medal and get the title of Righteous Swordsman, this thing is a proof, a symbol of honor, there is no other doorway, you just wear it, you can seal the mouths of many people."
Hearing Yuri say this, Rig thought for a moment, and finally nodded and put the medal on.
Then, Yuri said it again.
"It is His Majesty the King himself who summons us this time, and his purpose is very simple, first, to confirm my status,
The second is to give you a knighthood and make you a nobleman of the Kingdom of Jinas." Yuri said very seriously, "I know that you want to refuse, and in a blatant situation, Your Majesty will not do anything to you because of this, and even depending on various factors, you may choose to take a step back."
With Yuri here, the king will definitely not force the palace in front of Rige.
And in the situation where there are people from the ducal faction staring at his throne, the king also has to worry about forcing Li Ge into a hurry, whether he will directly fall to the duke faction and oppose the royal faction.
Coupled with the value of Rig himself, a senior swordsman and tactical-level magician, the king definitely didn't want to easily offend such a talent.
So.....
"In the case of your insistence on refusing, it is very likely that the king will use honorary nobility as a compromise to make you nominally subordinate to the kingdom of Jinas."
The honorary aristocracy that Yuli refers to is a kind of aristocracy that only has a name and no power.
The nobility of the major countries of the Akaxia continent can be roughly divided into four types.
The first type is the territorial nobility, who has their own territory within the kingdom to which they belong, and usually takes the administration of the territory as their main job, which is equivalent to a feudal prince.
The second type is the local nobility, that is, the nobles who assist the lord in governing the territory in the major territories, and are generally vassals of the lord, equivalent to local officials.
The third type is the court nobility, who has a position in the royal palace, and the main position is to deal with the major affairs of the palace and the royal capital, which is equivalent to the central official.
The fourth type is the honorary noble, who does not serve in the kingdom, but is nominally subordinate to the kingdom, and can enjoy privileges, and the obligation is to accept the summons of the kingdom in the event of an emergency, and solve some events that have a bad impact on the kingdom.
Compared with the first three types of nobility, the honorary aristocracy is of course less powerful, but they are relatively free, in order to co-opt those who do not like to serve in the kingdom, do not like to operate in the circle of the nobility, and do not like to be restrained.
"In the current Kingdom of Jinas, there are a total of six Sword Saints on the surface, one of whom is an honorary nobleman, who travels around the kingdom and even outside the kingdom on weekdays, without any restraint, and only accepts summons when the kingdom is in trouble to eradicate the source of some catastrophic events."
That's what Yuri said to Rigg. "If you insist on refusing, the king will certainly offer honorary nobility as a compromise on the condition that you will not be restricted in your freedom, so that you will be nominally subordinate to the kingdom and will not be poached by other countries."
"Of course, the so-called unrestricted freedom is also relative, if you don't have the corresponding strength, the kingdom will definitely summon you twice in three days and throw some incidents to you to solve."
"Only by becoming a sword master and becoming the highest-level swordsman on the Akaxia continent with invincible individual combat ability, the kingdom will not easily use you, allowing you to get the maximum freedom."
Yuri looked at Rig and smiled softly. "Of course, it's up to you how you choose, I just want to say that no matter what you choose, I support you."
Hearing this, Li Ge immediately smiled, and glanced at Yuri, everything was silent.
At this time, Franzel's carriage also drove into the palace and was allowed to pass by the guards stationed at the gate.
"Huh?"
Rig sensed that something was wrong and snorted.
"Do you notice?" Yuri saw the change in Rige's complexion and said, "Do you feel depressed and feel that you can't use magic anymore?"
Rig nodded.
After entering the palace, Li Ge immediately felt an invisible restraint, as if he was pressed by something invisible, and it seemed that he could not use magic.
"This is the magic prohibition system that has been in effect in the palace all year round, and no one can use magic in the palace unless they have been released with special permission." Yuri explained, "There's also a strategic protective barrier in the palace that activates as soon as it detects that an alien spell is locking on to the palace and unleashing it on the palace."
Yuri pointed to the air, gesturing for Rige to look. Rig looked up and immediately saw a faint ripple like a ripple of water moving there.
"That's the highest-level defensive magic enchantment in the Kingdom of Jinas--- [Light of the Heavenly Wing]."
Yuri's voice slowly reached Rig's ears.
"The royal palaces of the major kingdoms will generally be like this, with the highest scale of protection systems that they can handle, and the [Heavenly Light] of the Kingdom of Jinas has also been famous in the Akaxia Continent for hundreds of years, and any magician can only sigh in the face of this barrier."
As she spoke, Yuri smiled at Rige.
"Now you know why I said that the Juggernaut is much more intimidating in front of the royal family than the strategic mage, right?"
Yuri laughed as if she was laughing at herself. No way.
"No matter how high-level a magician is, if he enters the palace, he is an ordinary person who can't be more ordinary."
"Magic will be completely useless here, and only the swordsman will be unrestrained."
"If it is those swordsmen who use super-grade sword skills, they will still be somewhat affected, at least they can't use the power of super-grade swordsmanship to release special powers equivalent to magic into their bodies."
"But other than that, the swordsmen are basically unrestrained, and with their strong physical strength, they can also show their strength."
Especially the Sword Master, as the highest-level swordsman in the mainland, has superb individual combat ability, and is almost invincible in heads-up, in a forbidden demon realm like the palace, he will definitely be able to show enough deterrence.
The kingdom can't even bind people's bodies and prevent them from moving, right?
Therefore, in the eyes of those who have a sufficiently high level of protection system in their residences to protect most of the powerful magic, a Juggernaut who can move freely and rush back and forth is undoubtedly more threatening than a mage.
"If you want the kingdom not to fight your idea, get the maximum freedom, and become a Juggernaut, it is undoubtedly the best choice."
After Yuri said this, her words changed.
"Alright, we're here."
Franzel's carriage slowly stopped, in front of a palace.
Rige, Yuri, and Marilyn got out of the carriage one after another.
"Let's go, let's go see Your Majesty."
Yuri's tone became slightly indifferent, and she led Rig and Marilyn into the palace.
