Chapter Thirty-Eight: Promotion to Knighthood
Finally settled, Hans remembered to get down to business. He took a few pieces of metal and went to blacksmith Otto to see if he could make some equipment.
Otto looked at it and said: "A few days ago, people from the army also looked for us, and they also found a lot of similar metals, but some metals really can't be forged, and there is now a special department in the army responsible for research." If you need to craft gear, bring in all the metal and I'll see how many you can forge it. ”
Hans agreed, and gave all the metal to Otto, because he didn't know anything about it. Look at how many materials Zuihou can come up with, and then you know what you can build.
Just as Hans was about to go to the library to check out the following history books, one of the palace attendants approached him and said, "Mr. Hans, King Bixia wants to see you, can you come with me?"
Hans was startled, the king had something to do with him, and although he couldn't figure it out, the king's call could not be refused, so he had to follow.
Led by his attendants, Hans made his way through the inner city to the king's castle, his first visit to the palace. After passing through a long corridor, they walked directly into a hall, and the king was sitting on the throne, with a few guards standing on either side, and it turned out that Imogen and Rena were here, and the same Mr. Jamie.
Hans probably knew what was going on, so he walked to the throne and knelt down on one knee and shouted, "King Bixia." ”
On the throne, of course, was King Patton, and I saw him say, "Stand up and put Hans." ”
Hans got up and stood with Imogen and them.
I only heard the king say, "I heard that Hans you are injured, I wonder how your health is now?"
Hans said: "King Xie Bixia cares, I am in good health, I just need to rest for a few days." ”
The king said, "Well, Mr. Jamie has reported to me about your actions this time, although this mission was not issued by the Kingdom of France, but it is a great discovery for the Kingdom of France." Not only have you discovered the proof of the existence of ancient civilizations, but you have also brought back a lot of usable resources for the French country, and more importantly, you have opened a passage to the town of Yatli in the Marin Snow Mountain, which is really big news. ”
Hans said: "King Bixia is serious, we only found it by chance, and did not pay much for it, all this is a blessing for the Kingdom of France." ”
The king said, "You need not be modest, for you are almost dying, and if it weren't for the fact that Lord Amy happened to be in the village of Artley, there would have been no way to revive you if you had changed the priesthood." ”
Hans broke out in a cold sweat, he didn't know the severity of his injuries.
Jamie also suddenly said: "King Bixia, we are fortunate to have Mr. Hans on our mission this time, otherwise we might all die in that cave." He really deserves the most credit. ”
The king said, "Hans, I am also satisfied with your performance, and I may consider officially joining you in my direct elite team, but I would like to give you a task myself as an exam to enter the elite team." But that's until you're fully recovered. ”
The king waved to his attendants, and one of them took out a tray, and the king stood up and said to Hans, "Hans, Imogin, and Reyna are sealed." ”
When the three of them heard this, they immediately knelt on the ground together.
The king said: "In view of the contributions of the three of you, I now officially make you knights, and when the country needs you, it is your duty to swear allegiance to the kingdom of France and to the king, to do things in the narrow sense, not to deceive, to protect the country and its people, may the goddess protect you." ”
The three of them shouted in unison: "King Xie bixia." Then each of them took a representative sword and a cloak representing the knights of the Flangels. After that, there was another tedious ceremony, which lasted for more than half an hour.
When the ceremony was completed, the king said, "You can get a dwelling in the inner city of France, and choose a village in the rest of France as your domain, and get jurisdiction and tax rights there, and now you will be led by the attendants to choose your residence and domain." ”
In this way, the three of them followed the attendant to one of the rooms, and saw that the room was very large, and there were many things placed on the entire floor.
Hans saw that this underground was actually a map of the Kingdom of Farland. All they have to do now is to look at the map and choose a village as their territory.
The squire explained: "Some of the places that are fenced and marked are the territories of other people, including the princes and dukes, and the rest of the places that are not fenced are places to choose from, of course you can only choose a small village as a territory, and you need more contributions to get the larger villages." ”
Hans first took a look at the village of Modo, and it turned out that there was no lord in the village, so he asked, "Can I choose the village of Modo as a territory?"
The squire said, "Although Modo Village is not a large village, due to its special geographical location, it is defined as a second-level village, and you need to obtain a higher title to be the lord of Modo Village. ”
Then Reyna said, "What if I add my name?"
Imogen also said, "Is it okay if we are three together?"
Hans looked at them in surprise, and Imogen and Rena replied with smiles.
The attendant said, "Your request is peculiar, and I will ask the king for advice, so you can wait." ”
The squire went out, and Hans said, "What's the matter with you?"
Imojin said: "Since you are from Modo Village, we also have a lot of fate with Modo Village, of course, we will increase the right to rule here." ”
Reyna also said, "Yes, if the king can approve it, I would rather not have other territories, not to mention that there are no other villages around here except Modo Village that can be used as territories, and I don't want to go too far away." ”
Hans sighed and didn't say anything, he continued to look at the map, and found that Barre and Sheila both had their territories southwest of France, and the others had their own territories.
After a while, the attendant returned, and saw him say, "The king approves your application, but only on the condition that since the three of you rule over a village at the same time, one of you must be the chief and the other two as the secondary, and that an agreement must be signed to spell out the proportions of each and how to distribute it if there are no heirs." ”
Hans was overjoyed to hear this, and Reyna immediately came over and hugged Hans in celebration.
Then they followed the attendants to the inner city to choose a residence, where the accommodation is basically independent rooms, each room is not small, enough to meet the needs of marriage and children in the future. The three of them chose one of the places with three rooms in a row, and everyone would be neighbors from now on. What's more, everyone will be nobles in the future!
After choosing a place to live, they were about to go back to the royal city to sign the agreement, but Rena sighed halfway and said, "Alas, the house I was going to rent was in vain, and I said that I would change to a big bed." ”
Hans shook his head, he was going to be a nobleman, and this Rena was still playing with a child's temper at this time.
