Knights of the Wasteland Fortress

Chapter 105 Canonization Ceremony
"Canonize Yade as a named knight?"

Lancelot was slightly taken aback: "Is this not very good?"

"Any questions?"

Hannit picked up the red wine glass on the table and took a sip, his eyes were calm and casual:
"Didn't you observe secretly for a long time and confirm that he is suitable, so you let him be your knight servant?"

"This one……"

Lancelot hesitated, realizing that he had indeed said so.

"and."

Seeing that Lancelot was still hesitating, Hannit urged:

"Do you think I can't see it? This child is your illegitimate child, right? At such a young age, he has the strength of the lower level of silver, and his hair color is similar to yours. You have so many romantic debts outside, and you don't have any money left behind." It's strange how many evil species are there?"

"This..." Lancelot was stunned for a moment, as if he didn't know how to answer.

Instead, Hannett shook his head first:
"But forget it."

"Since this child has inherited your talent and is already a lower rank of silver at a young age, he will naturally be able to enter the collateral branch of the Nordwald family - engrave and canonize the unsealed knight to him. With his talent, so early Even if you get the seal of the black boar, it can't be considered a waste."

"Ok, I see."

After understanding what Hannit meant, Lancelot no longer hesitated, nodded, and stood up:

"I'll ask someone to prepare."

But he was stopped by Hannett:

"Wait a moment."

The gray-haired wizard baron looked at the blond knight with some doubts, and said lightly:

"The day after tomorrow, there will be some apprentices from the Imperial Wizarding Academy visiting. They are all talented people trained by a friend of mine in the Imperial Wizarding Association. You should prepare first, hold a more formal welcome ceremony, and compare their ceremony with Yad We held the canonization ceremony together - Yade is your child after all, we can't let other people see us too poorly."

"Ok, I see."

Lancelot nodded, turned his head to look at the young man behind him, and his tone was softer than before:
"What are you waiting for? Come with me!"

.

"Captain Nolan..."

Noah followed Lancelot and left the main hall. Just as he was about to talk to the blond man, he saw him turn his head suddenly——

"How many times have I said, at least in public, you should call me Captain Lancelot."

The blond man glanced at Noah, but he was not too angry, but said calmly:
"Don't worry, I'm not your father."

"I know."

Noah nodded, then said with some hesitation:

"And Sir Hannet seems pretty sure you're not my father."

"That old owl..."

Hearing Noah's answer, Lancelot was a little surprised, but he was also curious about how Noah knew this:
"What did you realize?"

"He thinks he can restrain you in this way, but I don't know exactly what he thinks."

Noah said vaguely.

After the blasphemy ceremony, he seemed to be a different person. He suddenly became more cautious in his words and deeds. This made Nolan, who was still a little worried that his personality was too arrogant, heaved a sigh of relief.

So Nolan thought for a while and replied:
"He probably thinks that I deliberately found a young and handsome squire, and wants to have a good relationship with the youngest daughter of their Nordwa family, and then get married through marriage..."

"...is there something wrong with that?"

Noah was silent for a moment, as if he felt something, but to be sure, he still asked.

"The Empire's 'Witch Knight Contract' is only valid for 'people of different blood'."

Nolan walked in front of Noah, and said lightly: "Accepting the canonization of the Nordwa family means that you have 'married' into the Nordwa family, and you can no longer seize the 'inheritance seal' on Wendy and become the Noah family." Lord Edward."

"but……"

Noah murmured subconsciously.

"But... that old owl of Hannibal... probably wouldn't have imagined that you still have half the blood of the Nordwald family..."

Nolan said lightly.

.

The next two days were even busier than Noah imagined.

He jumped from Lancelot's squire to the title knight of the Nordwald family, which caught many people off guard, and also attracted the envy of many aboriginal soldiers.

But fortunately, the explorers of the second corps have become popular in the Nordwa family, and they helped Noah avoid a lot of trouble.

And Noah, as the named knight of the Nordwald family, has a lot of knowledge to supplement. For the past two days, Felt has been giving him a little trouble, and the biological brain and the main brain are used in turn, almost all of them All the knowledge about the nobility of the empire was instilled in him.

In Noah's previous understanding, only the "Sword Master" who surpassed the silver class could become a named knight.

But according to Felt, that's not actually accurate.

"To be precise, 'reaching the Juggernaut' is just a 'condition' for becoming a 'titled knight'."

A black-clothed maid with a black hair bun and silver-framed glasses tapped on the blackboard in front of her and said:
"The minimum requirement for completing the canonization ceremony is the 'lower level of silver', which is your current level. Those who can accept the 'canonization ceremony' at this level are basically the descendants of the collateral and retainers of various families. Ordinary civilians or people with different blood , if you want to become an 'Imperial Knight', you must show the strength of the Juggernaut-do you know why?"

Noah knew that this was Felt's surprise inspection.

The knowledge acquired by using the master brain is just "dead knowledge" memorized by rote.

It is completely different from what is digested and understood.

Noah has learned related theories in the training school and knows that this is the so-called "cognitive palace theory".

So he just thought for a while, and deduced a possibility from the knowledge he had learned before:
"Because of the number of 'knights'?"

"Correct."

Felt nodded, seemingly satisfied with this statement:
"According to the empire's regulations, each wizard baron can only have five named knights."

"So in the case of a limited number, the strength of the outer-blood knights is naturally as strong as possible. The title knights of the baron family only need the lower rank of the sword master, but for those wizard families above the earl, they must be the sword master. Only fighters in the upper ranks are qualified."

"Moreover, for Juggernauts, the higher the title, the stronger the 'imprint' that the wizard family can provide, so they will be more willing to accept the canonization of high-ranking nobles—"

"So as the border barons, the Nordwar family is very difficult to be favored by the sword masters. So far, there are only two named knights."

Felt added.

Hearing this, Noah couldn't help being stunned.

"Besides Captain Lancelot, who else is the named knight?"

"And I."

Felt pointed to himself:

"As the head maid, I have also been canonized as a named knight."

Are the only two titled knights all explorers...

Noah couldn't help but click his tongue a little, he realized that Baron Hannett had basically been emptied.

"As the wizard knights of the Nordwar family, we can't be too far away from Hannit. Once we are far away from Hannit, our knight's engraving will become invalid. In this regard, our second team is not as good as the third team."

While Noah was frowning and contemplating, Felt added.

Noah just frowned slightly, and understood what she meant:
"In other words, our strength is useless after returning to the old world, right?"

"Is such that."

Felt glanced at Noah and affirmed:
"The "inheritance" of the third corps relies on Cang Jianmu and the mother of Tianhuo. Even if they leave the border world, they can maintain a certain ability to transform wolves through the "golden branch"; while our second corps cannot take Nordwar The Baron was kidnapped and put on a delivery truck, so in the old world far away from the Baron, it is far inferior to the Third Corps."

Noah nodded, and gradually figured out the ins and outs of the whole thing:
"So the inheritance curse seal of the Nordwar family and Cang Jianmu's golden branch cycle are like two independent servers... and our engraved inheritance and the wolf transformation ability of the third team must rely on the server to operate ..."

But thinking of this, he couldn't help becoming a little curious:

"Is there no ability to operate independently without system support?"

"Of course there is."

Felt pushed the glasses on the bridge of his nose, a cold light flashed in his eyes:
"The 'Sorcerer's Seal' passed down from generation to generation by the Nordwa family can operate independently with only the energy of the devil, without any other assistance."

"This is also the deepest reason why we have spent a hundred years trying to capture the Nordwa family step by step."

.

When Felt's knight intensive course was over, Noah felt that his whole body was exhausted.

He didn't sleep for more than 40 hours, except for eating and attending classes. When he came out of Felt's room, he was too tired to stand up.

Fortunately, Felt sent him back to his room and slept for eight hours before the canonization ceremony began.

Then, from three o'clock in the morning, some maids entered Noah's room with a large amount of noble costumes and foundation pencils, woke him up from the bed, and helped him change his clothes, adjust his makeup, and modify his clothes while he was half asleep. Where it fits.

This kind of work continued until five o'clock in the morning, and then Noah was pulled by the maid and came to the family secret in the backyard of the castle.

The space here is very wide, like a large square inside the castle, and the middle of the square is full of traces of carriages and horses.

Seeing this heavily guarded family secret, Noah finally lifted his spirits.

Just after six o'clock, guard soldiers belonging to the Nordwald family began to enter the square one after another, followed by a team of maids pushing tables, chairs and tableware, an acrobatic troupe and slave gladiators invited from the county government.

The angry roars of the beasts chained in the outfield woke up Noah's drowsy brain.

After about eight o'clock, Nordwar's retainers such as Lancelot, the Chief Taxation Officer, the Chief of Internal Affairs, and the Chief Financial Officer also yawned and sat on the viewing platform, and then at nine o'clock, as the core member of the family, Hannett Nordward and Wendy Nordward also arrived late.

Finally, around ten o'clock, the family apprentice team, led by the astrologer (the blonde beauty who slept with Lancelot before), chanted magic spells and opened the magic secret library at the end of the backyard.

In the azure magic glow, a dark magic secret door slowly emerged between the two stone pillars in the secret vault that looked like Stonehenge.

When the secret door gradually opened and stabilized, a group of wizard guards driving Mithril golem horses, led by their masters, passed through the magic secret door connecting two different worlds and entered the backyard of the Nordwar family!
　The second update before [-] o'clock took a lot of brainpower to expand the settings and wording, I hope it will not be too difficult or boring
