Chapter 375 Duke Liskene
Chapter 375 Duke Lis Kane
Bright City, Fes Palace,
The plague incident in Bright City happened a week ago. Thanks to the efforts of Nefes officials and the Church of Dawn this week, the storm has calmed down.
Whether it was the plague-infected people in Bright City or the warring hills outside the city, they had all been dealt with within this week.
But even so, such an attack cast a shadow on the hearts of the nobles and people of Bright Light City.
Even though a week has passed, there are still many people talking about this matter, and even the evening parties among nobles have decreased a lot.
The fact that Duke House was a believer in the Church of Beasts made many nobles find it incredible. When King Morton arranged for someone to clean up Duke House's cronies, no one wanted to be in the limelight at this time.
However, this matter has passed after all, and everything has been basically settled on the Kingdom's side. It is now necessary to appease people's hearts and allow Bright City to resume normal operation.
And this kingdom’s title canonization ceremony is a very good opportunity.
It is precisely because of this that the grandness of the various arrangements and decorations of the Fez Palace today is breathtaking.
From the main entrance of the palace guarded by the palace guards to the luxuriously decorated main hall of the palace, the exquisite and thick red carpet is laid straight on the main road, with the golden flag with the blood-red sword emblem, the tall palace columns and brightly colored murals, solemn and solemn. And solemn.
Servants were busy shuttling between the corridors of the palace, cleaning the extremely clean floor, and spreading special water prepared in advance. The air was filled with the faint scent of flowers and incense, making people feel relaxed and happy.
Although the weather in Bright City today is clear and sunny, in the magnificent palace, golden crystal chandeliers hang high, and the bright light seems to be able to dispel any darkness.
The title conferment ceremony has not yet begun, but many nobles are already present in the main hall of the palace.
What was different from the dance a week ago was that everyone was dressed in solemn costumes and wore badges symbolizing family glory on their chests. They whispered to others in a low voice, and from time to time they used white gloves to Use your hands to straighten your clothes so that they won't look inappropriate on this important occasion later.
In a corner of the palace, Mo Yun was following Ludwig, curiously looking at the solemn scene in the palace.
She should be the only player in the entire palace.
It was her first time to participate in such an occasion, and she was just as curious about everything as the audience in her live broadcast room.
I learned from Ludwig about the knighthood ceremony held in the palace today. I was very curious and pestered Ludwig to bring him over to see the world.
Ludwig didn't refuse even after thinking about it.
After all, Mo Yun was really obedient during this period. Ever since Li Si helped "persuade" that day, he had been training himself according to his requirements. Although the speed of progress was average, he didn't care.
There may not be much else, but Jinlong definitely has enough time and patience.
What's more, Ludwig is also quite curious about this kind of ritual in the human kingdom.
After all, in order to cultivate a true hero, he must have gone through hardships, defeated the dragon, returned with success, been knighted by the kingdom, and married the princess!
Ludwig thought as he touched his chin, holding the heroic epic (story book) he bought from a certain bard in his hand.
Moreover, it was not difficult for him to come and participate. He had to qualify directly from the Magic Academy.
After all, Director Boggs of the college knew about his relationship with [Flame of Judgment].
Mo Yun didn't know that Ludwig had made clear arrangements for her, and was even considering the feasibility of "marrying the princess". She was looking for her goal with great interest.
——
"Damn, the palace scene is so well done. I'm still hunting wild wolves in the small village!"
"The anchor finally stopped being beaten today. I cried!"
"It was said on the forum that Lis Kane will be made a Duke today. I remember he was still a Viscount when the server was launched last year, right?"
"The protagonist is very normal!"
"The one-year period has come, and labor and capital are back in glory!"
——
The barrage refreshed rapidly. The popularity of Mo Yun's live broadcast room has even reached the top of the player forum. More and more players clicked on the title of her live broadcast room [Visit the Palace of Fes, Watch Li Si's Ennoblement]. Come in.
Mo Yun watched the explosion of heat in her live broadcast with great pleasure, feeling that all the hard work these days had paid off.
As time passed, before the ceremony began, the court musicians gathered in a corner of the palace played lively music, and the melodious melody echoed in every corner of the palace.
All the nobles present stopped talking and looked at the throne in the center of the palace.
After a while, Duke Harder supported King Morton and slowly walked to the throne and sat down.
Seeing this, many nobles frowned slightly. Why didn't Prince Yat'an show up on such an important occasion today?
It has been two or three months since I saw this prince!
Some nobles recalled the pale and weak face of His Majesty the Prince at the New Year ceremony. Could something have happened?
Although there were many speculations in their minds, no one dared to talk about this matter on this occasion.
King Morton's prestige and status in the kingdom are supreme, especially the victory in the war against the Kingdom of Berdych, which allowed King Morton to show his majesty and strength, and no one dared to talk about such sensitive matters involving the inheritance of the kingdom. .
King Morton sat on the throne, smiling slightly, and seemed very happy about today's enthronement ceremony.
As the king sat down, the enthronement ceremony officially began.
As the court musicians changed the tune, the light music was replaced by a solemn symphony, and all the nobles looked serious.
Duke Hard, dressed in a black suit, stood in front of the king, unfolded the parchment with the royal emblem of Fez in his hand, and said in a low but magnetic voice:
"Today, on behalf of His Majesty King Morton, I preside over the ceremony of conferring the title."
"In the past year, we successfully destroyed the conspiracy of the evil Berdych Kingdom and won the war with Berdych. This is a glorious victory for everyone in the kingdom."
"In this war, whether it is nobles, soldiers or ordinary soldiers, they are all important cornerstones of the Fez Kingdom and an indispensable part."
"The kingdom will remember everyone's efforts and achievements, and they will also receive the rewards they deserve."
"First."
Duke Hard paused and continued:
"Court Marquis Lis Kane!"
As Duke Hard's voice fell, the music suddenly became louder.
At this time, a young man in gorgeous black and gold clothes walked in from outside the palace on the solemn red and gold carpet under the guidance of the waiter.
His handsome face was slightly smiling, and his short black hair looked neat and tidy. His well-tailored and smooth-lined clothes highlighted his tall and straight figure. He walked calmly and elegantly, giving people a sense of firmness and confidence.
The eyes of the nobles present were brightened. This temperament looked like an aristocrat among nobles!
And Mo Yun's live broadcast room exploded again.
——
"This brother, I admit that he is nine points more handsome than me!"
"Boss Li Si, I want to give birth to a baby for you!"
"Mom, I suddenly don't want to work hard!"
"No, brother upstairs, I remember your account is a man?"
"It seems that I have to eat this soft rice!"
——
Mo Yun no longer cared to reply to the barrage in the live broadcast room. She was watching Li Si wiping her saliva.
Damn, why didn't Li Si give me special training?
Li Si had a calm expression and ignored the eyes of the people on the side.
To be honest, he was almost exhausted. He was pulled out of bed by the maid and Lisa before dawn, and he carefully packed up for two or three hours.
When he arrived at the palace, he had to wait under the arrangement of the attendant. It would be better to do more arcane experiments with this time.
However, seeing that King Morton was so generous, Li Si still insisted.
However, he was much better than those who were about to be canonized as nobles. Those people were so nervous that they were fidgeting.
Li Si ate and drank as he should. The palace attendant didn't say a word and was still providing services to Li Si attentively.
Walking to the stone steps in front of the throne, Li Si knelt on one knee, waiting for King Morton to canonize him.
King Morton slowly got up from the throne, without letting Duke Hard help him, and walked slowly but steadily in front of Li Si.
Pulling out an ancient blood-red sword from the hand of the palace guard beside him, he gently tapped Li Si's left shoulder and said solemnly and majestically:
"Today, as the ruler of the Kingdom of Fez, I, in the name of the sacredness, hold this enthronement ceremony in the name of the gods, adhering to the glory and wisdom of my ancestors.
At this solemn moment, I announce the enthronement of Duke Lis Kane and grant you the territory of the Luo Peninsula.
This title is not only a recognition of his past achievements, but also an expectation of his future loyalty and courage.
Lis Kane, you have brought prosperity and stability to the kingdom with your wisdom, courage and loyalty.
Your contribution will be deeply imprinted in the history of the kingdom and become our common pride and glory.
Now, in the name of the king, I grant you this title, as well as the corresponding glory and responsibility. May you be in the future. In the days to come, continue to serve the kingdom, protect our land and people, and pass on our faith and glory.
I wish you, in your new title, to show more outstanding style and bring a more glorious tomorrow to the kingdom.
May your glory be with the kingdom forever. "
Li Si felt the weight on his shoulders and said in a deep voice:
"Thank you for your generosity and kindness, which makes me feel honored.
I promise to always keep my identity and mission in mind. I will be your sword and your shield, and become the most determined defender of the Kingdom of Fez!
May your Majesty's rule be long and glorious, and may the future of the kingdom be brighter and more prosperous! "
King Morton smiled, and after putting away his sword, he personally helped Li Si up, showing his intimacy and trust in Li Si in front of many nobles.
Is this the end?
I always feel a little unsatisfied!
Just as Li Si was thinking, a familiar voice rang in his ears.
Ding~
It feels good, that's right!
Li Si walked to the nobles on the side and watched His Majesty Morton confer titles on other people.
After briefly responding to the nobles' congratulations, Li Si walked aside and called out the system panel.
——
Ding~
[It is detected that you have obtained a new title! ]
[You have obtained the milestone [Duke of Kane]! ]
[It is detected that you have obtained a new territory! ]
[You have obtained the specialty [Power of the Lord]! ]
[Milestone [Duke of Cain]: You have been granted the title of Duke by the King of Fez. You have reached the top of the noble title. Your name will be spread throughout the Kingdom of Fez; Reward: National Legend +1]
[Feature [Power of the Lord]: As a noble lord, you can get a bonus to your strength in the territory. When fighting in the territory, all attributes increase by 5%, all resistance increases by 10%, and some special skills are enhanced]——
Oh!
These two new gains are pretty good!
Li Si's current legend is already quite high. In his previous life, no player could accomplish so many great feats.
And a week ago, the two legendary strongmen tried to besiege [Flame of Judgment], but the final result was one death and one serious injury. Only the [Bloodthirsty Beast] of the Church of Ten Thousand Beasts escaped the scene with the power of the Lord of Ten Thousand Beasts.
And even though [Bird of Death] Garcia also borrowed the power of the evil god [Lady Plague], he did not save his life and died under Stephens' powerful space spell.
A legendary warrior fell just so calmly outside Cangguang City, without causing any ripples.
Li Si also asked Joyce about this, and Joyce looked a little disdainful of the two.
"There are always some legends who believe in evil gods and don't believe in evil, and want to challenge Stephens. I guess he is used to it."
"The life of a legend is already quite long, so long that when they find it difficult to keep improving, they always do some crazy things, especially those evil god believers."
Hearing this, Li Si continued to ask:
"Then Uncle Joyce, what are your chances of winning when facing Teacher Stephens?"
"Well"
Joyce was silent for a while, and the wine glass he was holding froze in the air for a moment.
"For me, there is no problem if I want to sign up, and Stephens can't keep me."
"If it was last year, I might not be able to do it, but now"
Li Si remembered what Joyce gained after defeating the incarnation of the Lord of All Beasts. It seems that the uncle's strength has also improved greatly in the past six months!
Is he going further on the road to becoming a god?
"I should be able to hurt Stephens now."
Listening to Uncle Joyce's words, Li Si truly felt the strength of Teacher Stephens.
So strong!
Li Si also had a firmer confidence in the future!
After the palace enthronement ceremony, Li Si was also informed by Duke Had.
King Morton specifically asked Beavis to leave the royal harvest on the Luo Peninsula of the Feis army to Li Si, and at the same time leave a small team of soldiers of the Golden Lion Knights in Port Danerlo.
So considerate!
For this, Li Si once again expressed his sincere gratitude to King Morton.
Just kidding, where do you find such a boss?
It's two extremes from King Berdych who died in Li Si's hands.
This has solved a big problem for Li Si.
Although it is a great thing to have the Luo Peninsula as an exclusive territory, Li Si has no reason to refuse, but at the same time Li Si is also facing a new dilemma.
Li Si's previous plan was to obtain Port Danerlo as his own territory.
Even so, it would be quite difficult for Li Si to develop his preparation.
You know, this is not a game, and it is not that the king's canonization can make everyone in that territory obey Li Si.
In the final analysis, Li Si is the owner of that territory in name, but whether he can firmly control the territory in his hands in the end depends on Li Si's own means and strength.
Li Si now has a limited number of people to use besides himself.
The first part is the guards of Lisa and the Kane family, the gold goalkeeper Welf and a dozen bronze and silver extraordinary professionals, most of whom are iron-headed warriors.
Even if their loyalty is good, they are probably responsible for Li Si's work of guarding the territory and castle when they arrive in the territory.
As for Lisa, Li Si prepared a more important task for her.
The second part is the personnel on the Hurricane, Helen, Bazel, Ivar, Charles and others with a group of sailors.
Although these people are very talented, it takes time to grow up. At least so far, they can't provide much help to Li Si. They have to wait until they break through and become gold strongmen.
The third part is the people who have just joined Li Si, including a small team of soldiers from the Golden Lion Knights who are all extraordinary professionals, and some forces in Port Danerlo.
Ivor and Grace, two guardians originally arranged by the Berdych Kingdom in Port Danerlo, chose to join Li Si's forces at the invitation of Li Si last time. The two of them still have some influence in Port Danerlo, and they should be able to keep some soldiers and officials.
But Li Si does not have much hope for this.
To be honest, the Berdych Kingdom is rotten, even Port Danerlo is the same.
Most of the officials and soldiers have become the subordinates of those nobles, and it is very likely that they will be taken away directly by the noble families during the invasion of the Kingdom of Fez this time.
What's more, Ivor and Grace cannot get Li Si's trust at present. Li Si agreed to these two people because of the name of the legendary strong man Uncle Joyce. Li Si dare not entrust them with important tasks in a short time.
Even so, this is Port Danerlo, which Li Si arranged in advance.
The entire Luo Peninsula is equivalent to the area of three to four Danlo Ports. It can be imagined that the Berdych nobles in other places must have fled or changed their identities and hidden themselves.
It was very difficult for Li Si to control the situation. After all, he was just one person. No matter how strong he was, it was difficult for him to take care of such a vast territory.
Is this the trouble of happiness?
Li Si was happy in the midst of suffering and continued to ponder.
He was very clear about the methods of those Berdych nobles. After hollowing out the Berdych Kingdom, although they reaped a lot of wealth, they eventually lost the title and power of the nobles.
Many Berdych nobles could not tolerate this. Some nobles chose to go to the human kingdom further south to start redevelopment, but some chose to stay in the territory or surrounding areas of the Berdych Kingdom, wanting to rely on the methods they had arranged before to lurk and secretly seek greater benefits.
This is a very normal thing. It may be better in the Luou Peninsula, but it is a group of demons dancing on the Pearl Sea.
For example, the Giant Horn Island where Li Si killed Patrick before was a secret arrangement of the Berdych nobles.
Such a situation is very common in the Pearl Sea.
Previously, due to the weakening of the naval power of the Berdych Kingdom, the chaotic forces led by pirates on the Pearl Sea became more rampant.
And now it is Li Si who faces this problem.
As for the choice of giving up the Pearl Sea, Li Si ignored it directly.
Just kidding, he chose Danerluo Port Machinery just to be able to better control the Pearl Sea, how could he give up.
Of course, there is a very simple way to solve these problems, that is, Uncle Joyce announced his identity as a legendary strongman and provided protection to Li Si.
Although this cannot make those people who are lurking with ulterior motives give up, no one will dare to directly oppose Li Si on the surface.
But Li Si thought about it and gave up the idea.
Uncle Joyce has helped him a lot, and he doesn't even let Uncle Joyce worry about the affairs of the territory.
Besides, Li Si is still very confident in dealing with those monsters.
In the final analysis, the reason why those people lurked was that they were not strong enough.
As long as Li Si maintains his current strength, it is only a matter of time to solve these monsters.
Moreover, Li Si is now more and more confident about breaking through and becoming a legendary strongman.
In addition to this part of the problem, Li Si is facing a very serious problem.
That is, he is going to be out of money!
Indeed, he is really going to be out of money.
Except for the economic difficulties of the Kane family when Li Si was just reborn, but with his outstanding performance and personal operation later, he has never worried about similar things again.
Especially in the experience of leaving Cangguang City to go out for training, the wealth obtained along the way and the gifts from the Kingdom of Dillon made Li Si's pockets soar instantly, and the wealth in the storage space once exceeded 500,000 gold coins.
But Li Si's research has been quite costly, and more than half of the precious materials obtained from the Kingdom of Dillon have been consumed by Li Si alone.
Krypton gold training, strength is improved quickly, but the money spent is indeed a lot.
As for the White Dove Chamber of Commerce established, although it has been making huge profits, Li Si and other nobles also learned from the conversation that the magic creations of the White Dove Chamber of Commerce are now very popular in the Kingdom of Feis, and have even begun to be sold outside the kingdom.
But the profits were basically used by Mora to expand production and to establish bases in various parts of the kingdom to recruit players according to Li Si's requirements.
Therefore, the White Dove Chamber of Commerce did not have much wealth left, and it was even more difficult to complete the reconstruction and renewal of the Luo Peninsula territory according to Li Si's requirements.
This is why Mora has been dragging Li Si to participate in the Cangguang City Noble Party recently, and got support from other nobles for nothing.
It must be said that the wealth promised by King Morton and the soldiers of the Golden Lion Knights really helped Li Si a lot.
Alas~
Li Si stretched his body. He had roughly made a plan for the territory and was ready to hand it over to Mora and others.
The most important thing for him was to improve his own strength.
And the floating city that sank in the Pearl Sea!
