The last month of the year is always given different meanings by different races, and snow begins to fall around December 1st in most areas of the northern Terran Race, and the snow season is even earlier in the Galloping Horse Plains, around late November.

Snow also falls in other regions around December 10 at the latest, so it is common for the northern kingdoms and regions of the Human Empire to celebrate the last month of the year on December 1st, hoping for heavy snow at the end of the year and a good harvest in the fields of the following year.

The celebration that the Count said a few days ago was finally held at Dingrot Castle and not the Blue Magpie Castle, and the Count finally didn't want the Blue Magpie City to reappear under the banner of the galloping horse.

On the morning of December 1st, Count Maned Wolf arrived at Viscount Lot with a group of vassals to confer the official title on Lan and inspect Rand's army by the way.

The Earl was accompanied by several viscounts and barons, most of whom were in the account that Rand had found, who had already made a deposit for the Blackscale Horse and the Iron Armor, and now came with a contract in the hope that Rand would abide by Viscount Roth's previous agreement.

There were also ascetic Wright Duoreiner with the paladin Bert Kaul, Antrechi Blue Dragon with Grea Blue Dragon and other guests.

"In the name of His Majesty the Divine Emperor and His Majesty Dusen White Owl of the Dragon Kingdom, at the suggestion of Earl Kempins Maned Wolf in the northwest of the Kingdom, and by the resolution of the Noble Council of the Kingdom, and approved by the Holy Supreme Council of the Empire, it is hereby agreed that the former Viscount Roth, Bob Roth's nephew, the fourth son of Baron Huck Galloper, and the intermediate knight rank Rand Gallop will inherit the title of Viscount Roth."

In the presence of a large number of nobles and guests, the Count read the letter of appointment and dismissal to Rand in person.

"Thank you, Lord Earl, I..."

"Don't rush your allegiance, Rand," the Earl smiled, "The title of viscount is definitely yours, but you need to pass the Imperial Knight test before you can officially inherit it."

According to the knightly tradition and the nobility regulations of the kingdom, only after becoming a junior knight or junior mage can one be removed from the official title.

"You take this," the Count handed Rand a letter, "This is the knight school in Blue Dragon City, where there are qualifications to train, assess, and recognize junior to senior knights, you are already an intermediate knight, and you only need to pass the corresponding assessment to get the knight's magic badge." ”

"Let's congratulate Rand Galloping Horse, the hero of our Northwest Territories against the invasion of the Grey Geese, the future Viscount Roth. His Excellency McLaren has said that as long as you have won the knighthood, he is willing to recommend you as His Majesty's court viscount."

"Oh, the Viscount of the Court"

"Yes" "That has to belong to His Majesty's close ministers"

In the applause, the simple appointment and dismissal ceremony was over, because Rand was still a reserve knight in the official record of the kingdom's demon supporters, so he could only get the appointment and dismissal letter, and he could not officially act in the name of Viscount Roth.

Fortunately, the earl, the representative of the Blue Dragon family, and the representative of the Holy See all saw the head goose of Rand's head-on victory over the high-level knight level, and no one would question Rand's rank, so the rest of the work only needs Rand to get the knight badge before he can officially become a viscount.

After the appointment and dismissal, it was time for luncheon, and the castle itself was built to be spacious and bright, so that it did not seem crowded to welcome so many nobles, and Rand also set up a huge tent in front of the main castle of the castle in advance, which was used as a buffet and rest area for the accompanying demons and knights.

Due to the fact that the meat and food stocks of the monsters in the Roth Castle had been seriously depleted, Rand had to send several hunting teams to the Galloping Horse River and the Great Forest to hunt and replenish meat varieties within two days.

Rand was even a little surprised by the degree of attention to the banquet, in Huck's opinion, both the earl and the vassals knew that the Roth territory had just escaped from the barbarian occupation, and there was nothing in the first place, in this case, the earl should even bring some monster meat and food to help Rand tide over the difficulties.

However, Rand did not think that the Earl could bring his own meat, pots, spices, cooks and cutlery, after all, there was no family in the Northwest Territory that specialized in the business of opening banquets.

After 3 days of hard work, Kuryakan finally made a few small iron pots with handles, and now Rand, who is more than two meters tall, can finally start stir-frying.

In his previous life, when he was studying and working outside, Rand often cooked by himself, but now after two months of wandering on the grassland, he can finally cook by himself again, and Rant's inner happiness has immediately improved.

The Maned Wolf Count arrived at about 9 o'clock with his vassals, and when he saw the large tent camp under Roth Castle, infinite greed rose in his heart, after all, this is 4,000 lords and 600 demon supporters, which alone has exceeded the scale of the lords and knights directly under the earl, and is only slightly smaller than the scale of the entire Maned Wolf family.

The old maned wolf has a 17-year-old daughter who has inspired the blood of the demon bearer, who is sweet and lovely, has a bold and strong personality, and is also a famous girl in the aristocratic school of Blue Dragon City, and he even began to think about whether to give his little daughter to Lante, but as soon as the earl remembered his daughter, he saw the 3-meter-tall Greia in the team behind him.

No matter how strong the maned wolf is, he can't beat a dragon, and after the earl has figured it out, he won't think about forcing Larante to marry.

Although the old maned wolf is stingy, he tries to take care of and balance his subordinates as much as possible, considering that it has only been 5 days since Rand has newly settled in Roth Castle, the earl really brought a lot of Warcraft meat, grains, spices, cooks and cutlery.

After all, in the eyes of the Earl and most of the guests, the dishes that could appear in the camp of Rand were nothing more than roasts and stews, what could the four sons of a baron have seen in the world and what delicious things have they eaten?

So the Earl and the vassals saw on the table a table full of dried fruits and vegetables, stir-fried wild vegetables with mushrooms, egg custard with river shrimp and wild goose, fried steel bristle pork with fungus, fried river shrimp with salt and pepper, roasted swordfish roasted with herb leaves, stewed beast meat with potatoes, stewed bean soup with mushrooms and steel mane, and the main course with the Earl's monster meat, and dessert was a honey goose egg roll.

"I was really surprised by the rand, although these ingredients are not rare, but they can be matched like this, indeed... It's delicious, especially if you've only been in Roth for a few days" In order to show that he had not come to eat a meal, the Count had to taste a few bites of each dish and began to praise it.

"Thank you, Lord Earl, for your affirmation," Rand, as the owner of the castle, sat down with the most important guest, the Count, and the two of them toasted each other.

It was a pity that the Earl's comments were not supported by any of the other nobles, including Rand's father and several older brothers, because their mouths were stuffed with food, and if they spoke, they were prone to extreme rudeness, so the whole luncheon was accompanied by the whispered chatter between Rand and the Earl.
