"Your Majesty—" A long-druffled voice thought in the direction of the Imperial Palace in the square, and then several figures appeared on the upper part of the stairs, and Matthew Ellman came out!

The man had not yet entered my eyes, but the music had already sounded, and the salute in the sky had exploded, and then I saw the emperor, who was well recognized, dressed in the best clothes, with a crown on his head, and standing in the best position.

Matthew Elman, it seems that his voice is somewhat similar to West, but his skin is a little darker, a little wrinkled, and one of them is hairless, and he is not as good as West's in appearance, but his steps are very steady, and the fleeting light in his eyes shows a kind of demeanor of this emperor, which is not at all comparable to West.

Matthew was wearing a yellow robe, the yellow robe was not embroidered with any patterns, but the luster of the yellow robe still showed a luxury that was not inferior to other clothes, and the most dazzling thing under the yellow robe was the sterling silver belt, which blinked like this yellow robe, no matter where the emperor stood, you must be able to notice him at first sight. If you look closely, there is a yellow belt under the silver belt, tightly bound with black clothes, compared to the robe, the clothes inside are slowly embroidered.

At this moment, all the people in the square knelt down and saluted, most of the civilians knelt on both knees, and our words were the courtesy of a monarch who knelt on one knee.

"Get up, everybody. Matthew glanced at the square with a slightly blank look, I was in the area to his right, probably because I was next to his son West, and the old emperor was quick to notice me.

It was a look of majesty, and Matthew Ellman didn't linger on me for long, just nodded at me to show that he knew who I was.

Today is the first time I have seen this emperor, but I have already asked a lot about the information, this old man who has been the emperor of the Coltfee Empire for decades, although he is old, but he is indeed a very shrewd person, it would be a big mistake to treat such a guy as an old man, Matthew Ellman is not a very distinctive person in terms of personality, most of the time he is a posture of relying on the old and selling the old, but the means to really do things are absolutely ruthless.

"I don't know how many or dozens of coming-of-age ceremonies I've ever attended, I watched a bunch of little guys embark on their careers and give them land, this is also the most time, there are many people, how good people are, how many people are lively. It was the voice of the old Emperor Matthew Ellman, and there was a kind old charm to it, and he paused as he spoke, and then he smiled kindly, and looked around, and then said, "In order to cater to this bustle, I have absolutely reduced the five plots of land for this celebration to four." ”

"Wow-" The audience was in an uproar, after all, there were five male nobles and me in this coming-of-age ceremony, and now His Majesty the Emperor said that he had taken out four pieces of land. The commoners were puzzled, and there were many nobles who didn't know the inside story with shocked faces, and some of them were calm, either they knew it a long time ago, or they were really calm.

"Don't worry, this time it's also to add a little fun, and I also want to see the kind of hard work that you little guys have to fight for what they want. Matthew stared at the field, his eyes passing over my face, "Let's get lively, little ones, haha, but you are all going to become the new nobles anyway, and I won't completely leave you with a back cover." ”

Matthew said as the attendants next to him brought out a huge map of the current situation, a map of the Coltfee Empire! It was so big enough that everyone in the audience could see it clearly! And on the map, it was obvious that four areas were marked with four colors.

No, five to be exact! There were five districts, one of which was sandwiched between the two largest plots of land, and if it weren't for Matthew pointing to that spot now I don't think I would have noticed that there was a small piece of land.

"Here, it's a toilet, and the loser is your fiefdom. ”

Lavatory...... The whole audience couldn't help but smack their tongues and look at the emperor on the stage, if you want to talk about the toilet, it is better not to have it! Such a fief will only be laughed at when you get it, which means that among the five of us, the one who loses will leave a laughing stock here...... I'm not going to do it! That's why I'm not going to spare the other four.

"So...... Let's go. Matthew said in a slightly louder voice, then took a look of lessness, took a step back, and sat down on a chair, and the guards immediately brought the table and fruit aside.

Then one of the chamberlains took a step forward, and then began to introduce us to the rules, and this rule, I did not know at first, before Emperor Matthew did not reveal the slightest rule in the political court, at least the people of West did not get the slightest news.

"Now announce the rules of today's celebrations!" shouted the chamberlain, raising his voice, "and now invite a few new nobles! Robo Kelso, the second son of the Count of Kelso, Keon Celeria, the eldest son of the Baron of Silia, Led Weaver, the third son of Viscount Sidland, and Van Lundin Rangel, the third son of the Regent Turboni Randle!"

"Finally, there is the Lawrence family, which we have died honorably, the strongest shield of our Coltfee Empire!

There was a lot of buzz in the audience, which really made me a little small, tens of thousands of people were on the two floors, and most of them were calling my name!

"Don't be surprised, your prestige and story in Biel have already spread throughout the Coltfi Empire, and you should have been mentally prepared. West on the side looked at me with a smile and said, I didn't care about what he said, just looked at his expression, this smile, this amplitude, this guy is obviously in the state of the play now.

"I was prepared, but I was still surprised. I looked around, and then without saying much, I got up with a word, "I'm going." ”

I walked up quickly, and almost all the others were one step ahead of me to the stairs, and in front of me, I could see Matthew Ellman when I looked up.

"Greetings to His Majesty. "I held my chest and saluted, and didn't pay any attention to the four people on the side, Weaver didn't say anything inside, that guy had already dealt with him, and the other three people were only a little capable of the regent's son, and they were all a group of young people at that time, and it was not enough for me to put it in my eyes, if I had to say it, they were only 16 years old, and I, although I was also sixteen years old, but I was originally a person in my twenties, and I had lived in this world for 16 years, and I was already over 40 years old on both sides！

"Greetings to His Majesty. When they saw me saluting, they all rushed forward to support their chests and salute, and some even gave their names. If the emperor wanted to know who you were, he already knew it, and if he didn't know, he wouldn't be able to remember you if he said more, unless you shouted "Dog Emperor, die or something", and he might remember your name within a few days of killing you......

"Well, they're all pretty good, aren't they? Matthew's eyes looked around us, and finally stopped at me, "Especially you, Nia Lawrence, I've heard your story a lot, and it is said that you burned down a forest in Beer and tens of thousands of troops. ”

"Back to Your Majesty, most of them are just rumors. I smiled and said, "Now I am not as brave and good at fighting as my father, but I will work hard for it." ”

"Well, that's good. Matthew nodded with satisfaction and said, "So the first position, if nothing else, it should be yours, on the picture, these colors are framed by the land I want to give you, according to your ranking, you can get the land from large to small at a time, and the worst one will live in that toilet!"

"......" The crowd was speechless, and I think they were all secretly determined not to make it to the end, and looking at their self-confident eyes, I gave Led a sympathetic look to the side.

"You ......" Led's face was full of anger, but this position is not easy to attack, and even if he has a seizure, I am not afraid, he is so stupid and knows this, and finally endured it, and in the simplest way, ignoring me to solve my sympathetic eye attack,

But although Matthew said this, looking at this map, no one would just choose the target at the level of the worst toilet, because the largest fief on the map is fully two-thirds the size of the province! This is dozens of times the size of a normal fiefdom!

And the most critical reason, that place, is the Dharma Province! The Dharma Province is two-thirds the size, and the area of my family is originally in the area of this fiefdom!

Is this forcing me to be the first?This is something that no one else knew about West, I turned my attention to West, a little worried about his other actions, after all, his ability to adapt is really poor enough, but this time West didn't drop the chain and kept smiling and intervened with me, Fred Rick, it must be that guy, maybe he has already figured out the other party's personality and deduced what the other party's approach will be.

As a nobleman, you not only need to have good self-cultivation, but also need to have very good communication skills, that is, to have good popularity. "The rules are very simple, each new nobleman chooses a knight or magician to help him fight, and participates in a duel, whether it is a squire, a friend, or a mercenary, as long as you can ask for help." ”

"Ranked in the order of falling, the one who is still standing in the end will be the victor and win this celebration, and at the same time enjoy the largest fiefdom!"
