Chapter 56 Rewards
Under the scorching sun overhead, the carriage traveled on the main road of Harvest City. The boulder-paved avenue was very flat, but the high temperature after the sunlight also made this avenue become a branding iron. Knight Marshall and Abel sat in the carriage. In the middle, he was wearing a luxurious dress, and soon his head was covered with fine sweat.
At this moment, Abel missed his car in his previous life very much. Although it was not very good, it had warm air in cold weather and air conditioning in hot weather.
In Abel's complaints, the carriage gradually approached the city lord's mansion. When the carriage slowly stopped, the driver said loudly: "Master Knight, Master Abel, the city lord's mansion of Harvest City has arrived."
Hearing what the coachman said, Knight Marshall tidyed up his dress, took out a towel from the cabinet of the carriage, wiped the sweat off his forehead, and handed Abel another towel, saying, "Today is an important day, put your head Wipe off your sweat, don't be rude!"
When Marshall Knight and Abel got off the carriage, the huge high wall of the City Lord's Mansion caught Abel's eyes. The last time they came here was at night. During the day, the City Lord's Mansion was even more grand and imposing.
Seeing Knight Marshall and Abel getting out of the carriage, the butler of the city lord's mansion who had been waiting for a long time in a butler's robe quickly stepped forward, bowed to the two and said, "Salute to you, dear Knight Marshall, dear Abel Master, on the order of the city master, I am here to welcome the arrival of the two adults!"
Since Abel is the adopted son of the Marshall Knight, the Marshall Knight came forward on this formal occasion. The Knight bowed slightly to the city supervisor and said, "I am very happy to see you, and my adopted son Abel and I are very honored to be invited to meet you. Honorable Lord of the City."
Abel bowed slightly with the Marshall Knights and thanked the butler.
Under the guidance of the housekeeper, we walked through the huge yard. Although the fountain in the middle of the yard was not as bright as it was at night, it seemed to be a little cooler under the sunlight. After entering the hall, Abel really felt it. The coolness was blowing, and the huge rock-built hall completely blocked the heat outside.
After walking through a long corridor and came to a gate carved with the goddess of harvest, the butler stood still and said softly to Knight Marshall and Abel, "This is the reception room, the Lord of the City is waiting for you."
When he saw Viscount Dickens, the city lord again, Abel felt a little deeper than the last time he came. The powerful force from Viscount Dickens, the city lord, was like a volcano. Feel the heavy pressure.
"Master Abel, have you advanced?" Viscount Dickens knew how powerful the fighting spirit in his body was on the knights, but the young master blacksmith in front of him appeared to be restrained by his fighting spirit. He was very surprised.
You must know that Viscount Dickens' vindictive coercion is only aimed at formal knights. Those apprentice knights can't feel this coercion. Abel's performance shows that he has become a formal knight.
"Yes, the noble city owner!" Abel bowed slightly without being humble, and replied after passing a fancy salute with one hand in the air.
Viscount Dickens secretly rejoiced that he did not treat Abel badly for his military exploits. Such a genius is rare in the Principality of Carmel, even in the entire human world. It turned out that Abel befriended him because of his identity as a master blacksmith. Bo is not only talented in forging, but also talented in knight training.
Viscount Dickens pointed to a knight beside him and said, "This is the Saroyan knight, and he led the army to complete the siege of the orcs this time."
Knight Saroyan saluted Marshall Knight and Abel. This opportunity for meritorious service was provided by them. Knight Saroyan has always wanted to thank him in person. This gift is the sincere gratitude expressed by Knight Saroyan. .
For the goodwill with the military senior knights, Marshall knight and Abel also quickly returned the salute,
The atmosphere on both sides seemed very friendly.
"The exploits are very high. Of the 159 formal orc cavalry, 2 of them are senior orc cavalry, and they wounded a heavy sparrow." Viscount Dickens said with a smile.
It turned out that the heavy skylark was injured by the army. At this time, Abel already knew the origin of Baiyun's injury, but fortunately, Baiyun was not exposed.
Viscount Dickens turned to look at Abel and said, "Master Abel, the two corpses you sent to me yesterday have been identified by the Saroyan knights. One of them escaped from the siege and had a noble status. Protected by a high-level orc cavalry, I also sent this military exploit to the Gangba City military headquarters overnight, and the military department raised your reward for the master."
Large cities such as Harvest City have their own formations such as those in the Blacksmiths Guild. The reports of military exploits will be rewarded according to regulations after verification. For the military exploits reported by the city lords such as Viscount Dickens, reply The speed is very fast.
Hearing the increase in the reward, Abel couldn't help but rejoice. Fortunately, he didn't bother to throw away the two corpses. Sure enough, the two corpses worked.
"Marshall Knight, because of your heroic actions, you saved Matthew Castle and killed many orc cavalry soldiers in the process of guarding Harry Castle. The military department of the Duchy of Carmel awarded you the title of Lord!" Viscount Dickens announced with a solemn expression.
"Everything is for the Principality!" Knight Marshall thanked him with a serious expression on his knees.
"Saroyan knight, because of your proper command, you killed 159 orc cavalry in the battle to encircle the orcs. The army of the Principality of Carmel gave you a fief of 100 miles, and you will have your own coat of arms." Viscount Dickens then announced.
The Saroyan knight was half-kneeling with tears on his face. It must be known that there is a world of difference from no fief to a fief aristocrat. Since then, the Saroyan knight has officially stepped into the realm of the noble nobles and has become a true noble.
Finally, Viscount Dickens looked at Abel and said with a smile: "Master Abel, you provided accurate information for the siege of the orcs, saved Matthew Castle, and killed the orc cavalry many times. In view of your outstanding achievements, the military commander of the Principality of Camai The former Matthew Castle Territory has been conferred upon you and granted you the title of Lord!"
Abel couldn't help but couldn't believe his ears. This reward was a bit heavy, but looking at Viscount Dickens' smiling face, he understood a little. It was Viscount Dickens who made great efforts in it, and maybe the military side and the king's side. Neither want to offend a master.
Abel imitated Marshall's knight and said half-kneeling, "Everything is for the duchy!"
The Saroyan knight on the side looked at Abel enviously. The reward given by the military to Master Abel was given according to the highest standard. Generally, only members of the royal family can enjoy the highest standard of meritorious deeds. Very few Non-royal members can enjoy it.
Viscount Dickens supported Abel with a smile and said, "Should I call you Master Abel or Lord Abel?" After speaking, he couldn't help laughing.
Indeed, for a master blacksmith like Abel, in the whole continent, the status of a master blacksmith is much higher than that of a lord, but Abel is too young now and has not yet traveled on the continent, and his reputation as a master is still It's just a medal of the Blacksmiths Guild. Only when there are many works of Abel on the mainland will this fame really settle down and become Abel's real fame.
"You still call me Abel. Master and Lord are just titles." Abel replied with a smile.
"Only a person like Master Abel who doesn't care about wealth and status can make such an achievement." Viscount Dickens said with some sigh, and the Saroyan knight on the side also deeply agreed.
Viscount Dickens continued: "On the birthday of God in two months, the three of you will all arrive at the capital city of Gangba for the award ceremony. Don't be late."
Generally speaking, the titles and fiefs awarded by the awards are already awarded to the recipients after the award, but to truly get official recognition, one must go to the capital city of Gangba, the capital of the principality, to accept the king's award and express to the king. Thanks, show loyalty to the Principality.
When leaving, Knight Saroyan pulled Knight Marshall and Abel. Now it is Lord Marshall. We must find a place to celebrate with the two of them. Knight Marshall refused and could only agree. Of course, Lord Marshall also wanted to. The meaning of dating the Saroyan knight, but Abel politely refused.
