After settling the Steel-Ridged Golden Lion cub, Keith decided to follow the young baron when he learned that Perth was desperate to save himself from the essence of plants and trees, and that he was even going to write to the Earl of Philemerald, asking him to be knighted as a knight.

Under the envious gaze of everyone, Keith knelt down on one knee with his left hand on his chest, and said sincerely and gratefully, "Keith Iron Hoof, thank you to the great Tulip Baron."

I will dedicate the rest of my life to you with everything I have, even my life! ”

Perth also walked up to Perth, looked down at Keith, and asked with a smile in his eyes, "Knight Captain Keyes, I will form my own knights, they will be tulip collars, my most elite troops."

Now, I will ask you to be my "Commander of the Knights", the highest commander of the Order, and grant you the swallowtail that represents your family crest.

I need you to answer me, will you accept my appointment and be loyal to me forever? ”

At this moment, Keith was so excited that he was even trembling.

He finally did it, he was finally no longer the poor man of the down-and-out aristocratic branch, and he finally fulfilled his promise to his mother!

Finally, you can have a swallow-tailed flag that is a knightly glory!

Keith trembled, bowed his head reverently, tried to suppress the tremor in his voice, and said hoarsely, "Thank you for your gift, Keith Ironhoof will always be loyal to my master, Perth Medici, and give you everything and even my life!" ”

Looking at the excited Keys, perhaps Perth, as a natural nobleman, could not empathize with him. But at this moment, he knew it very well.

Nobility, titles, glory, even thrones, territories. In fact, sometimes it is more in this poor age and cruel system where the gods have disappeared, as the faith and hope that people strive for.

Perth came back to his senses, put away his sword, and then picked up Keith, announcing to him, "Perhaps, Knight Chief, you should choose your last name."

From this day forward, you will be the first nobleman born in my realm, with your own family name, family coat of arms, and your own slaves, minions, and even estates and lands. ”

Then Keith pleaded, "Please allow me to use my mother's last name, Lanchester, as a tribute to my memory and gratitude to my mother." ”

Perth was self-conscious, and said, "I respect your decision, and Mrs. Lanchester must be very pleased to be in the spirit of heaven." The kind and upright knight, Keith Lanchester. ”

Of course, as the sole ruler of the Tulip Lord, only Perth can write the Earl of Emerald on the surname, coat of arms and seal of Keith in the name of the lord. After being delivered to the royal court by the Earl of Philemic in the name of the lord of the Earl of Nanshan, the final filing was made and the royal court was filed in the upper house of the royal court, and every nobleman in the territory of the Rose York Kingdom was announced.

So all this decision-making power is in the hands of Perth.

This is also a promotion system established by the Kingdom of Rose York under the cruel and strict aristocratic system in order to better attract talents from all walks of life, giving hope to the commoners.

It also stipulates that when a commoner in the realm becomes a golden knight, the lord of the realm can ask him to be a knight of honor, so as to join the ranks of the nobility, and give him the right to give him an official surname and establish a family estate corresponding to the title.

This almost caused a war between the House of York and a royal court minister, and even caused an uproar throughout the country. As a result of the ongoing Cold War and antagonism, the king's orders could not be issued normally, and the rule of the whole country was shaken under the constraints of the aristocracy.

After all, the conservative and stubborn old aristocratic ministers could never accept the so-called lowly commoners sitting at the same table with them.

But in the end, the king was united in unprecedented unity by the House of York, and with the support of most of the armed forces and knights.

It forced the royal ministers to finally compromise with the nobles of the House of Lords, and agreed to the final promulgation of the Rose York Nobles Act.

Of course, as the largest nobles and nobles in the kingdom, the York family and the king still safeguarded the interests of the nobles to a certain extent, handed over the power of commoners to the lords of the territory, and by the way, all the nobles in the country were promoted to review and make decisions, and completely returned them to the king.

Even after this political confrontation, the then king, Friet II, in order to stabilize his rule, personally led the then royal ministers and nobles to hold a joint signing ceremony in the House of Lords for the promulgation of documents.

Since then, King Freet II has not only established the foundation and prestige of his rule, but also strengthened the king's prestige in the hearts of the people.

As the "court nobles" at that time, the Fei Leng Cui family actively supported the king in this political force game, and obtained the initial Nanshan Territory as a fief, and became one of the few "territorial nobles" in the Kingdom of York, laying the beginning for the current Fei Leng Cui Nanshan Earldom, and becoming the first direct beneficiaries of the "Rose York Kingdom Noble Promotion Act".

.......

After a night of celebration, Keith Lanchester's identity change seemed to have planted a seed in everyone's hearts.

It also enlivened the hearts of many knights and Nader, and aroused a high enthusiasm that he had never had before. Because at Hogworth, there is no one who does not want to be a decent nobleman, not only for himself, but even for his descendants, to get more wealth.

In particular, Perth's impassioned voice at the dinner table has also become a lingering voice in the hearts of everyone: "I, Perth Medici, promise you!" I will not ignore your efforts, and I will share everything I can with you without hesitation.

Our glory will bloom together in this land, and our glory will inevitably be celebrated by the world! ”

..........

Early the next morning, Knight Knight set out with more letters than yesterday, for there were not only letters from Lord Perth, but also documents and archives that had made him a knightly knight, which made his mood even more soaring, and even a faint smile on his face.

Oh no, perhaps he should be called "Captain of the Knights of Tulip Naoli"—the Noble Knight—His Excellency Keith Lanchester.

......

Not long after Keith left, Steward Ston knocked on Perth's door.

After being allowed to enter, the steward of Ston saluted and asked, "Good morning, Honorable Lord Perth." Vice-Knight Captain Jack Hughes intercepted a letter from the Iris Spy, saying that maybe it's important to you. ”

Perth, who had just breathed in the purple breath of the rising sun, heard this, and said with a refreshing smile, "Jack Hughes's efficiency is really good,"

Yes, knowing that the enemy is invincible, Perth used Jack Hughes to learn a lot about the iris, including the now somewhat self-righteous calendula Iris Earl - the pinnacle of the earth's golden knight - Fitt Fusimera.

Tear open the emblem of the eagle griffin on the letter, which represents the Kingdom of Aragon.

Perth was shocked when he looked at the contents of the letter.

It turned out that the ambitions of the Kingdom of Aragon were really inflatable and inflated.

Outside the fortress of the Iris County there are not only more than a hundred knights disguised slave catchers, but there are even scorpion scorpions lurking in the forest that the Kingdom of Aragon has domesticated somewhere, ready to wipe out the marigold-de-lis of the Iris at any time!

Even, due to the long-term infection of the scorpion venom, the core of the fighting spirit in Earl Iris's body is disintegrating and collapsing, but it is still kept secret and not publicized!

It turned out that he still thought that there were at least two golden knights and a dozen silver knights and bronze knights among the more than 100 elites, which made Earl Iris jealous.

It turned out that it was because this Iris Count had been calculated to be poisoned, so he retreated into the fortress and held on to himself?!

Thinking of this, Perth couldn't help but curse "stupid! ”

After all, if the "Mountain Fortress" as a military highland defense line is really lost, the iron hooves of the Kingdom of Aragon will definitely border the Nanshan Earldom of Fei Lengcui!

Looking at Stone's worried and inquiring eyes, he said to Steward Ston with a serious expression, "Summoning Nader Booker, Luca Yat, as well as Jack Hughes and Chuck Penn, I have something important to tell them in the study!" ”

......

In the study, Nader, who was late, couldn't help complaining, "Winter is nothing less, and it's so inconvenient not to have a carriage!" ”

Perth could not deny this, after all, he asked Nader not only to settle the serfs before tomorrow's spring ploughing, but also to find the fertile hills to develop the terraces.

As well as the distribution and financial budget of cattle, agricultural tools, and agricultural subsidies, as well as the preparation plan for caravan trading, hunting ground construction, manpower management bureau, etc.

Perth demanded that he must do it before he could go to the iris, so Perth didn't say anything.

As for the others, Perth, as a lord, did not say a word, and they would not say anything.

..........

Without further ado, Perth put the letter intercepted by Jack directly on the table, and said in a solemn and straight to the point, "Look at this, maybe Archon Nader won't complain." ”

And when everyone saw it, the surprised eyes were of course the same, but there was definitely ridicule and anger at the Count of Marigold Iris-Fett Fusimera, who was known as the pinnacle of the Golden Knight.

But there was more anger in the eyes of the silent Archon Nader than they were. Yes, it's outrage.

I saw him say excitedly, "The Kingdom of Aragon is simply crazy, just invade and plunder!" To exterminate the Demon Plant in such an obscene way, Felusius III simply insulted the glory of Westeros the Great! ”

"Alright, Mr. Nader, I'd like to hear something feasible." Perth waved his hand to stop.

In this regard, Nader said with a rare embarrassment, "If you go to support, although this can increase your prestige, you can get unimaginable wealth and benefits.

But if ....."

However, Jack Southon thought of the crux of the matter, sat on the chair and said in a deep voice, "According to the Law of the Noble Lords of the Rose Kingdom, if there is no lord with the strength of a silver knight to participate in the war, even if it is a personal act.

will also be arrested for this by the military tribunal of the royal court of the upper house, which will be regarded as a dereliction of duty, and it is seriously likely to be deprived of nobility! ”

Yes, the strength that Perth has always shown makes everyone subconsciously forget, in fact, Perth Medici is only a Bronze Horseman!

At this time, Jack said in a more serious tone, "Actually, I've been wondering why Felusius III, the king who is known as the most talented military in the Kingdom of Aragon, did not have a "triangular fortress" located in the plain, but chose the "mountain fortress" that was more difficult to capture.

Besides, I'm pretty sure that the Iris County didn't tell me about the spy, and I'm pretty sure that as a former subordinate, he doesn't have the talent to intercept spy letters! ”

Everyone was stunned when they heard this, and everyone including Perth looked at Jack.

And Jack immediately explained, "I don't doubt the authenticity of this letter, after all, the serious illness of the Earl of Iris and the poisonous scorpion lurking in the forest should not be a lie."

It is a fact that Count Fett's body is getting weaker, and sometimes even supported by strong potions. At that time, there were indeed several cases of residents or serfs being stung and killed by poisonous scorpions. ”

These words couldn't help but lead things in a strange direction, and even made everything smell of conspiracy, which made everyone silent.

For a while, the needles in the study could be heard, and everyone's faces seemed to be covered with a faint haze.

It wasn't until a moment later that the Steward Steward, who had been standing behind him, broke the silence, "Sir Moxie's uncle—Reese." He once tried to use Sir Moxi's bloodline to blackmail the Earl.

When Mrs. Naji learned about it, in order to remember his identity, she sent Rees to Iris Castle and asked the former Earl of Iris to let Rees do the dirtiest and most tiring work as a serf. ”

"It seems that this lucky bastard thinks that I will definitely go to the battlefield?" Perth leaned back in his chair and sneered dismissively.

Nader's words made Perth even more angry as to why Moxie Medici did this.

Nader shook his head and smiled bitterly, "No, maybe he will withhold the Earl's monthly transaction with you in Golden Madrid, so that you have to go to support for money."

Because of last month's transaction gold, Fei Leng Emerald Castle has not paid for half a month. ”

Actually, Nader was just a little strange at first, but he didn't pay much attention to it because he had plenty of money. There was no news of the letter asking for the arrears, and if some of the money had not arrived, the city hall would have to face empty drains.

Because of the 600 gold Madrid of the Philemerald Castle every month, 200 gold coins are to be given to the town hall as a share, which is used to establish a circulating capital chain, reserve funds for the construction of the territory and issue a commission for porcelain production.

This is a mechanism that Perth has put in place for a good circulation of funds within the territory, as well as a dedicated treasury for the town hall.

He also said that in the future, it will be used as a commercial tax for the lord to hand over to the territory, and gradually improve the tax system of the territory.

Perth was furious when he heard this, and he slapped the case, and said in a loud voice with angry eyes, "Then let's see, who is killed in this matter!"

A week later, Keith and Lukka came with ten knights to support the Iris! ”

Damn, it's so aggrieved! Lao Tzu is not powerful, why are you my old cat burying loess sickness?!

Nader kissed, just about to remind Perth. But seeing that he looked determined, he sneered, "It's just a silver knight, give me three days!" ”

After speaking, everyone who looked at each other strode out of the study!

Look at me, people, and I'll look at you.

Old Chuck took a leisurely sip of tea, and said with an unhurried smile, "There are still three days to go, so what are you doing in such a hurry."

We have to trust Lord Perth, he is not one of those stupid people. ”
