Chapter 452: First Duke

As the team slowly walked into the palace gate, the spacious palace garden square made Duan Lie's eyes shine, this was the first time he walked into the residence of the royal family of the Tianfeng Empire, the refreshing feeling made him feel as if he had walked into a solemn church, and there were simple and romantic street lamps on both sides, even in the daytime, the shining lighting stone was extraordinarily bright in the form of deliberate carving, and looked into the distance along the avenue, like a glazed fire dragon with no end.

Passing through the garden square is a complex plan full of Gothic main hall, round arched windows and corner stonework, spire-shaped inclined roof, plastered wooden frame and pillar decoration, white stucco wall combined with light red roof tiles, continuous arches and cloisters, presenting a classical, solemn and solemn atmosphere, making people unconsciously produce a sense of worship.

As for the final destination: the council hall, it shows a serious and solemn style, the golden wallpaper and glazed jade tiles set off each other, the entire council hall has been raised by several grades, this is the most sacred place in the entire empire, and many orders related to the prosperity of the empire are drafted, filed and promulgated here.

At this time, the council hall was crowded, and the nobles wearing various gorgeous costumes stood on both sides, making way in the middle, and as Alec led everyone into the council hall, the nobles rang out with a warm applause.

Alderich VI returned to the council hall one step ahead of the time, and greeted the return of the heroes with a particularly appreciative gaze, and the palatial hall seemed to be coated with a layer of sacred gold lacquer.

As the supreme commander of the Westhammer Fortress, Alec walked at the forefront of the team, and none of the people behind him were not outstanding contributors to the war, and they were all powerful. Duan Lie's height was in the middle, and he looked extraordinarily ordinary in the crowd, but he, Bray, and Eric walked into the council hall surrounded by everyone, and the slight distance between them made the three of them stand out.

The procession marched in front of Eldridge VI, Alec knelt on one knee with an excited expression, and gave the most standard knightly salute, followed by the legion warriors who followed, including Duan Lie, who followed in imitation of them.

The applause in the council hall abruptly stopped, and everyone heard Alec's voice echo through the hall.

"Minister Alec, Jin to see my majesty the king......"

The crowd was solemn.

Holding the King's Scepter, Eldridge VI looked at the kneeling people in the hall, his old face glowed with excitement, he kept nodding his head, and said in the deepest and most sacred voice: "Alec, you are a hero of the Empire, you are all ......"

"Wow!" applause resumed.

Eldridge VI stretched out his hand and pressed down to control the excited crowd, and said in a loud voice: "I thank you for your efforts, it is with you that the people of the empire can enjoy happiness and tranquility, and now I crown you Alec as the first marquis of the empire." ”

Wave after wave of warm applause rang out......

Alec used to be an earl, but now he has jumped a level directly, and he is still a first-class marquis, and this honor allows Alec to lay a solid step on his political path.

Then Aldritch VI did not hesitate to be crowned one by one, starting with the heads, and although the titles were few, each of them was extremely richly rewarded.

And in the end, when all the people who had been crowned and rewarded in the team retreated to the sides, only Duan Lie, Bray and Eric were left with more than forty people.

The hall once again changed from warm to quiet, and even a fool could understand that the main event was coming.

Edrich VI's solemn and solemn expression suddenly became gentle, especially when he looked at Duan Lie, he was no longer so high-minded, if it weren't for the fact that there were too many nobles on the scene, I am afraid that Edrich VI would personally salute Duan Lie at this time.

After all, Duan Lie's identity is different from the past, not to mention the various military exploits he showed on the battlefield, just the news that came back from the imperial border a while ago made Eldridge VI sleepless for a long time, this is a great grandmaster, a great grandmaster of appraisal witnessed by Craig and the Golden Lion. In a small country like the Heavenly Wind Empire, it is already very good to be honored to have a grandmaster-level figure. When Craig migrated to the Heavenly Wind Empire from other places, it was also retained by Eldridge VI's father, Edrich V, many times before he created the Appraisal Pro Alliance Guild in the Heavenly Wind Empire.

And now, there is actually an appraisal grand master in the empire, and Aldritch VI can't wait to pick up Duan Lie, while the crowd disperses, Eldridge VI hurriedly walked over and personally helped Duan Lie up: "Your Excellency the Grand Grandmaster, get up, get up." The tone he used was also extremely flattering, and there was no trace of the majesty of His Majesty the King.

Not to mention this scene, even all the nobles were dumbfounded.

However, when they heard Eldridge VI call Duan Lie "His Excellency the Great Grandmaster", in addition to being deeply shocked, the crowd also showed expressions of deep approval.

It's just that they don't understand very much, Duan Lie is so young, how can he be a great grandmaster?

At this time, Edrich VI cordially took Duan Lie's hand and walked back to his original position, so that he could face everyone, and Edrich VI said loudly: "Next, please allow me to introduce our hero to you, Duan Lie......"

Applause......

Immediately, Eldritch VI said, "Also, Duan Lie is not only our hero, but he is also the only one in the empire who has a great master. ”

Wow!

The official announcement of Edrich VI is completely different from the shock brought by the title just now, just now many people do not know the details of Duan Lie, and some may only understand it belongs to the category of hearsay, but when Edrich VI officially announced Duan Lie's identity, the meaning is completely different.

This means that the Heavenly Wind Empire has an appraisal grand master, and it also means that Eldridge VI has moved Duan Lie to a position equal to him.

The highest right of an empire is the king, and being on an equal footing with the king is not just a matter of honor, it can be said that from now on, Duan Lie's behavior will not be restricted by any level of the empire, including the law, of course.

This is a different level from people, and because of the title of Grand Master, and when Edrich VI announced it, no one felt any problems.

After all, this is a world that advocates force, and the circle of warriors is far larger than that of the empire, and among the warriors, the influence of a great grandmaster is no longer something that the empire can cramp up......

Great Grandmaster, an existence that is incomparably close to mythology, even if Duan Lie is placed on the Battle Spirit Continent, he is absolutely supreme.

The applause rang out again enthusiastically, and this time it lasted for more than five minutes......

Rouya in the hall couldn't help but sobbed in the midst of many nobles, this may be a moment she will never forget, she definitely didn't expect her son to be so good, so good that even the king has to go to the knot and greet.

When the applause rises from wave to wave, all formal rewards become weak.

However, Aldridge VI announced the final reward through himself.

Edrich VI first expounded in vivid language the exploits of Duan Lie's three men, and then announced the reward......

"Bray, I now crown you a baron of the First Order of the Empire, and the title is hereditary......"

"Eric, I now crown you a baron of the first rank, and the title is hereditary......"

In the Empire, the reward of the title is the highest honor, but the hereditary system represents a symbol of an ordinary person becoming a permanent nobleman.

But at this time, people's eyes eagerly stayed on Duan Lie's body.

When he infiltrated the Blackstone Fortress and killed Pirut and destroyed the summoning ceremony of the berserkers, the leader was Duan Lie, and the followers were Bray and Eric, and even they all received knighthoods, what kind of treatment would Duan Lie receive?

If there is a hereditary marquis, it will be a richer reward than Alec.

Edrich VI was silent for a moment, and the atmosphere in the chamber became tense, and he looked around the room for more than a minute before announcing his decision.

"I now announce that I will crown Duan Lie as a first-class duke of the Empire, and the title will be hereditary. ”

A Duke of the First Rank?

The council chamber suddenly became silent......

You must know that the first-class duke is the highest honor in the entire empire, he is the highest existence among the five major titles, the duke's title symbolizes the existence of the king, and among the sixth kings of the Tianfeng Empire, there was only one hereditary duke like Inez before.

Now there is another one, and he is Duan Lie.

Hearing the decision of Edrich VI, everyone opened their mouths wide.

Inez defended the third king of the empire to obtain such a high honor, on the other hand, Duan Lie was only in his early twenties, and he became a hereditary duke in the Tianfeng Empire, what kind of concept is this.

This is equivalent to Edrich VI telling everyone that Duan Lie will be the highest nobleman in the empire in the future, and even he Edrich VI will have to be in awe.

After the announcement of Edrich VI's decision, the hall burst into applause for about ten minutes, and it was not until Edrich VI finally announced the opening of the banquet that everyone eased in extreme shock and excitement.
