Chapter 1340: Passing the Imperial Examination

The next day.

The temple held an awarding ceremony. This time, the temple arranged a grand ceremony. Not only the twelve chief priests came, but also many royal families and strong men were invited to watch the ceremony. There were four or five hundred orcs in the entire temple hall.

The ceremony was solemn but not cumbersome. Walking on the red carpet, Jiang Hao came to the main character and saluted with his chest. The archbishop exempted Jiang Hao from the ceremony, pinned a badge on Jiang Hao's chest, and awarded him the title of scepter priest.

Then,

he took out another golden badge. This time, the archbishop was obviously very excited, "In our orc kingdom, there is finally another holy dragon priest. The glory of the god of war Kampas shines on the earth, indicating that the orcs will get better and better."

Applause and cheers rang out from the audience.

Jiang Hao also took the opportunity to release the breath of the holy dragon priest, so that everyone here could feel it. In fact, according to the archbishop's intention, he wanted people to see the appearance of the holy dragon with their own eyes, but he was persuaded by the great shaman Wei'an.

"The human kingdom will certainly seek intelligence on the appearance of the Holy Dragon Sacrifice in the Orc Empire. The Holy Dragon Sacrifice can have a great deterrent effect. If they know that Richard's Holy Dragon is still a cub, the deterrent effect will become very low, and they will also try every means to murder him. It is better not to say it, so as to maintain mystery and deterrence." said the turtle hermit.

The cardinal thought this was a good idea and accepted it immediately. From the beginning to now, few people knew that Jiang Hao's Holy Dragon was a young turtle.

Jiang Hao turned around and accepted the cheers and congratulations of the crowd, and then said loudly: "I created four war songs. Today I will dedicate them all to the temple as a thank-you gift to God."

The four new war songs shocked many people.

Then Jiang Hao sang the war songs, "Men Should Be Self-reliant", "Mysterious Garden", "Itchy", and finally the divine song "Anxiety".

Jiang Hao's war songs caused a commotion in the temple, but were soon blocked by the magic shield released by the twelve main priests, and people also truly witnessed the power of the new war songs.

After the temple conferment ceremony, an elder of the Lion Clan who had been staying in the Holy City for many years stood up and announced loudly: "First of all, congratulations to Priest Richard for being promoted to Priest of the Scepter and becoming Priest of the Holy Dragon. His Majesty the King has issued a conferment order, specially conferring Priest Richard the title of hereditary marquis of the empire and granting him a fiefdom. As for the location of the fiefdom, Marquis Richard can choose it."

With strength, the benefits will follow one after another. Now Jiang Hao is the Marquis of the Orc Empire, the Priest of the Temple Scepter, and the Priest of the Holy Dragon. He is already one of the most honorable people in the Orc Empire, and there will be many legends about him in the Orc Empire in the future.

If yesterday was the wedding night, then today is the day when the name is on the list of successful candidates, with all the fame, wealth, power, and beauty.

The conferment ceremony is over, but the matter is not over yet. There are still more details to be dealt with, such as fiefdoms and vassal races.

In the side hall of the temple, the minister of the Lion Clan said with a smile: "Richard Priest, I have a map of the empire's territory here. All the places with red circles are empty land without lords. Richard Priest can choose. Your title is Marquis, and you can own an area of ​​100 to 300 miles as a territory."

"Why is there such a big difference between 100 miles and 300 miles?" Jiang Hao asked.

"Different locations, different resources, and different sizes. For example, in the Saint South Plain, it is close to the Holy City, the terrain is flat and suitable for planting, and it is very safe with the protection of the Holy City. Naturally, there are fewer places to give, and to be honest, there are no empty places.

If it is in the Danube Wasteland, the ground here is wide, you can be given 300 miles of fiefdom, and there are many places for you to choose. Look at this large area, you can choose whatever you want."

Jiang Hao looked at the map and found that the places with red circles that no one wanted were mostly corners. This is also normal. The Orc Empire has existed for thousands of years, and the good places are naturally occupied by nobles. How could they be left empty for him?

Suddenly,

Jiang Hao saw a very conspicuous place on the map, pointed and said: "This is close to Mount Hyrule, and there is a large plain behind it. Why is there such a large area of ​​​​empty space here?"

The lion noble was stunned for a moment, and then squeezed out an awkward smile, "Sir Richard, this place is not safe."

"Unsafe? Can you tell me, is it because of the rampant magic beasts, or other alien races, or because of humans?" Jiang Hao asked.

The lion elder hesitated for a moment, and finally said: "Well, in fact, with your status, you are fully qualified to know this matter. You should know about undead creatures, right, liches?"

Jiang Hao's heart moved, "Of course I know."

"This used to be the territory of a cheetah star-spotted family, about 500 miles in radius. The south side is close to Mount Hyrule, which is rich in minerals. The north side is the Norwegian forest, which is rich in various magic beasts. The farthest west reaches the coast. In the middle are plains and hills. There is a lot of land suitable for farming, and there are many vassal races there."

"But a few years ago, the star-spotted family died out overnight, and the emperor The country sent troops and priests to the place, and found that there was a poisonous fog, which became thicker as it approached the Norwegian forest, and undead creatures were also found.

Because the poisonous fog could not be dealt with, the army had to retreat. Only half of the originally rich land was habitable, and it was under the threat of undead creatures at any time. No nobles were willing to take over, so it was left vacant, and the vassal races of the Star Spot Family now had a difficult life. ”

The elder of the Lion Clan looked at Jiang Hao, his eyes lit up and said: "Why, Sir Richard took a fancy to this place? In fact, there are 300 miles of land in a radius of 500 miles, and no undead creatures have appeared.

The land over there is definitely the best land in the empire, with rich resources and mineral veins. You are a holy dragon priest. If you can clear those undead creatures, it will definitely be good to take over that place. "

"If you are willing to take over, you can get this entire territory, 500 miles in radius. That is the duke's grant. Even if it is only 300 miles now, it is actually better than other fiefdoms. What do you think?"

Looking at the map, Jiang Hao thought of what the God Turtle Baxia said to him before his death.

"This world is sealed with a demon. Every thousand years, the seal will loosen. He takes the opportunity to release the magic energy, pollute this world, and develop some liches to work for him. When this world is completely polluted, the demon seal will be completely opened, and this world will become hell."

If this world really becomes hell, Jiang Hao can leave, but what about Helen, Avril, Ningyu and others?

Can they watch their women die tragically?

Is his mission to save this world? The greater the power, the greater the responsibility.

"You said that the undead creatures in the territory of the Star Spot family appeared a few years ago? "Jiang Hao asked.

"Well, it appeared suddenly three years ago. It definitely didn't exist three years ago." The lion elder said.

"Are there any other places where undead creatures appear?"

"Yes, and there are several places. Here, here, and here. There are five places in total. All of them are places of death." The lion elder pointed to several places in the Orc Empire.

"By the way, I heard that there are also places of death in the human kingdom."

Jiang Hao nodded. It seems that the evil spirit is slowly invading and developing. If it is ignored, it will eventually become a disaster. I just don't know how the Orc Temple and the Human Church are going to deal with it.

Jiang Hao pointed his finger on the map and said, "I want this place."

"Oh, you choose here? "

The lion elder was stunned. He found that the place Jiang Hao pointed out was actually the wasteland near the Taimurlaya Snow Mountain, which was where Jiang Hao and his team landed, near the Xiya Sea.

Jiang Hao did not choose the Star Spot Family Territory. There are undead creatures there now. Only a fool would go there. He did not have the consciousness of being a savior. He came here to do the collection task. He would not waste it if he could develop slowly.

And the place Jiang Hao chose was far away from the places where the undead creatures broke out.

"Yes, it's here. Why, is it not possible? I see that there is a red circle here. There is no lord. The land is not good and should be considered a wasteland. I should be able to get 300 miles of land, right?" Jiang Hao said.

"Yes, you can get 300 miles of land here, but don't you consider the Star Spot Family Territory? There are a full 500 miles there, with an excellent geographical location and rich products. "The lion elder advised.

Want to make yourself a free warrior? It's not that easy.

"I am a person who cherishes the past. When I landed here and stepped on the land, I felt very warm in my heart, so I am willing to choose this place. Why, is it not possible?" Jiang Hao said and looked at the lion elder.

The lion elder knew that his majesty's plan might fail. The emperor wanted to find a free thug, but the new Holy Dragon Priest was not stupid.

"Of course, it is your right to choose where. From now on, starting from the coastline, the land within a radius of 300 miles on the south side of the Taimurlaya Snow Mountain belongs to you."

"There is another thing, Mr. Richard, the priest, about the pig tribe. The pig tribe was a vassal of the lion tribe before. His Majesty is very happy to know that you have become a Holy Dragon Priest and is willing to send the pig tribe to you, including the vassal races of the pig tribe, the hedgehog and the skunk, as a gift to you. "The lion elder said.

The entire pig tribe was given to him, this gift was not small.

But if you think about it, you can understand what the emperor of the Orc Empire meant. He is now a holy dragon priest, with unlimited future and higher status than the nobles. If you enslave his family again, it will be embarrassing, so it is better to give it to him directly.

"Please thank your majesty for me!"

Jiang Hao smiled and touched his chest, happily accepting the gift.
