The Wizard: London From My Backyard

Chapter 120 Knighthood Conferred Land and Shock

If it is really announced who has won the title, it is a major event for the family.

Especially the field title, which involves obtaining territory, is crucial to the long-term growth of the family.

From the gate of the manor, many people have gathered.

It seemed that someone was striding towards the banquet hall of the main building. Starting from the crowd gathered at the gate of the manor, a group of people gathered in a straight line towards the hall and flocked to the banquet hall.

Victoria and Teresa looked around, and many people also started to walk towards the banquet hall.

…now, gotta go see it.

Teresa looked at Victoria, gestured sideways, and walked towards the banquet hall.

Teresa had already guessed who it was.

And Victoria also had to shelve the duel proposal again, because if someone of her relatives was conferred the title, it would be bad if she was not present at such an important moment in her life.

Two people entered the banquet hall.

...

"Lord Ricardo, Lord Lorient invites you to come over."

Ollie came to Ricardo's side.

Lorient is here too?

Ricardo asked Ollie to arrange for a few knights to guard the scene, while he walked into the banquet hall.

After entering the door, he was led by a witcher knight brought by Lorient, and went to the front of the banquet, where there was a short flight of stairs and a platform.

At this time, Sir Parson, Lorient, and several other officials from the provincial center stood there talking.

A small stone table was quickly lifted onto the platform.

A huge metal plate was placed on the stone table, and many emerald green pebbles were neatly arranged in the center of the plate, surrounding an ornate baronial medal.

Then at the back of the medal, there are also documents such as territorial documents.

Ricardo was led onto the platform.

"It's Ricardo, Ricardo of the Binghu family."

"It's Andrew's younger brother, the one who just returned from the Wizarding Continent. Has he gained any merit?"

"Little Ricardo..."

Watching Ricardo being brought onto the stage, the members of the two families off the court also understood who the protagonist of this conferring ceremony was.

They talked one after another.

Lord Golden Deer looked at Ricardo who came onto the stage in some surprise, and he glanced at Andrew who was resting on the other side of the banquet.

He confirmed that Andrew was standing there alive, and he was also wearing a costume that symbolized Lord Ice Lake.

It's not the inheritance of the territory. Has anything major happened in the Ice Lake Territory recently?

Lord Golden Deer thought that at the banquet just now, a junior from the Binghu family seemed to have mentioned the recent bandit suppression in Binghu, and that a bigger operation seemed to be launched after that.

Victoria followed Teresa into the banquet hall, and she saw Ricardo taking the stage.

She also glanced at Andrew in surprise, and after confirming that he was alive, she covered her surprised mouth with her hands, her eyes full of doubts.

"Let's congratulate..."

Sir Parson walked forward to the front side of the huge metal plate. He was wearing a special cassock, holding a scepter that symbolized the imperial power and royal order, and looked at the audience with gentleness and majesty.

"Our Lord Ricardo who is about to be promoted to the Baron of the Lord of the Empire!"

Sir Parson turned around, took off the badge representing the title from the center of the metal plate, turned around and lifted it up slowly, and looked at Ricardo who was drawn forward.

"On behalf of the empire, the royal family, and the noble council, I confirm that your lord Ricardo's revenge war against the original wind wolf lord is legal and reasonable."

"And the empire, the royal family, and the noble council have confirmed your victory in the revenge war. You deserve the territory and title of the original wind wolf baron!"

"Now, on behalf of the Empire, the Royal Family and the Council of Nobles, I present you with the title of Baron!"

After solemnly announcing the knighthood, Sir Parson solemnly put the title badge into Ricardo's hands, and then asked Ricardo to perform a simple oath ceremony.

The ceremony of swearing allegiance is relatively simplified, and the territory of the empire is extremely vast. Even within a single province, the annexation and destruction of territories still happen from time to time.

In this extraordinary world, as long as the territorial wars of the grassroots nobles are in line with the legal principles of the empire, the empire does not value such formal things as swearing allegiance.

"congratulate!"

"congratulations…"

"congratulate…"…

After Ricardo took the oath of allegiance, led by the young people from the Binghu family, the audience began to cheer and applaud.

Amidst the lively cheers and applause, the members of the Jinlu family also learned about the recent major events from the word of mouth of the young people of the Binghu family:

The Baron family of the Wind Wolf, led by the Wind Wolf, was destroyed by the army led by Ricardo in the name of the Territorial Revenge War!

From the moment the conferment was completed, there was no need for the members of the Binghu family to keep secrets, and now Ricardo's title of baron was a certainty!
…What?
Lord Jinlu and other noble elders of the Jinlu family, except for a few, received the news with shocked expressions.

The wind wolf baron was destroyed?

The Jinlu family is no stranger to the neighbor of the Ice Lake leader's family, who was promoted to baron after exchanging territories with the famous lord of Pansen County, Viscount Frostwind.

... Ricardo has only returned to the territory for less than two weeks.

Such a well-known baron family, or a baron who had been promoted to the title in this generation, was destroyed like this?
Is this the strength of the wizard apprentices who came back from the Wizard Continent?
Moreover, it's only been a few days, and this apprentice wizard actually let the noble council, which has always been procrastinating, go through the process, and directly let the administrator from the provincial center conduct a knighting ceremony this evening? !
For a while, many elders of the Jinlu family, regardless of their majesty, began to inquire about various details from the young people of the Binghu family...

Victoria hadn't let go of her hands covering her mouth for a long time, her eyes were wide open and she was stunned for a while.

She saw that many nobles in the venue stepped forward to congratulate Ricardo, Teresa also went up to congratulate, and then came back...

"Congratulations, Teresa."

Seeing Teresa approaching, Victoria said with some embarrassment, her tone seemed to have a hint of sourness.

"Wait, do you want to arrange... that again?"

Teresa looked at Victoria with some embarrassment. With the atmosphere in the family today, it might not be convenient for her to arrange such a private matter later.

At this moment, it seemed that the process on the stage hadn't been completed yet.

The administrative officer on the platform, after handing over the previous territorial document, put a new document on it.

The vicissitudes of the middle-aged man who came with Sir Parson on the stage, dressed as a witcher knight, put a black cloak on top of him.

Various mysterious inscriptions are engraved on the black cloak. Combined with the style of the cloak, it seems to belong to some kind of extraordinary organization.

And it shouldn't be the Demon Hunter Knight.

"...Shall I announce it for you? Well, Lorient."

Sir Parson looked at Lorient helplessly, as if he had accepted the other party's request.

He turned around and continued to raise his voice.

"Ladies and gentlemen, let me carry out another conferment ceremony, and a new territory conferment document..."

As Sir Parson's voice fell, the whispering voices in the audience became lighter again.

...new land conferring...Acquiring a land is one of the most exciting events in the hearts of the members of the lower noble families.

Mentioning this, everyone was once again interested.

Is there still territory to be obtained? ...Could it be some kind of territory related to the Wind Wolf Territory?
"First of all, congratulations to Lord Baron Ricardo, who joined the Exorcism Alliance Army! And won the rank of Captain of the Alliance Army!"

Sir Parson solemnly picked up the cloak of the Exorcist Alliance and put it in Ricardo's hand.

For a while, except Teresa's scroll teacher and a few others who understood the existence of the Exorcist Alliance Army, they were greatly surprised; the rest of the audience just applauded symbolically, and had not yet had time to understand the exorcism alliance army and the alliance captain. significance.

Some of them knew that Ricardo had the rank of Demon Hunter Knight and Lieutenant Colonel of the Empire, so they were even more puzzled.

At this time, Sir Parson continued to announce:

"Also, Your Excellency Lorient asked me to announce a piece of good news: Although the evil environment located in Xuelu Village, Jinluling, has been confirmed to be a highly dangerous evil environment after an official investigation, the evil spirit of this evil environment , has been purified by Lord Baron Ricardo recently!"

"Due to the special involvement of the evil environment and the contribution of Lord Baron Ricardo in the purification of evil spirits, the subsequent thorough purification of the evil environment has also been considered. The exorcist coalition forces have made arrangements with the noble council, and the evil environment in Xuelu Village will be covered by Baron Ricardo. Your lord is entrusting it, and after it is transformed into a secret realm in the future, Lord Baron Ricardo has the priority to exchange it!"

"In addition, in order to facilitate Binghu to lead to Xuelu Village, it is also out of Lord Baron Ricardo's willingness to exchange merits. From Binghu Town to the eastern periphery of Xuelu Village, it is located in the Panxue Forest and close to the Panxue Mountains. The land of the Imperial Common Domain was granted to His Excellency Baron Ricardo and became his private territory!"

The evil environment of Xuelu Village... and the public domain of Panxue Forest...

Because of the danger, the former spread among the Jinlu family as early as when it was simply sealed by the government.

Unexpectedly, it was officially recognized as a relatively high degree of danger, and it was already purified by Ricardo without knowing it!

And territory... territory again!
Everyone heard that Ricardo had obtained another [-] square kilometers of land, and looked at Ricardo with enthusiasm again!
The 300-square-kilometer territory, the original wind wolf territory of more than [-] square kilometers, coupled with Ricardo's incredible strength and leadership, seems to have controlled the Ice Lake Territory and its corresponding nearly [-]-square-kilometer territory .

The territory under Ricardo's control has reached more than [-] square kilometers!

"Congratulations!"

"congratulate!"…

The audience suddenly became heated again. This time, the atmosphere of the two families was even more heated after the previous brewing.

From the beginning of the gathering, to the Jinlu family, it was just a wizard apprentice who had just returned and the news of his injury spread.

As of tonight, he has become the lord who controls [-] square kilometers, and has a considerable status in the Demon Hunting Knights and the Exorcist Alliance. He also has connections with the provincial center and upper echelons, which makes the official work efficiency of the procrastination very fast.

Such a change...has been...

He has become the most powerful figure in the two families!It can even be said that the status is the highest!
Even the legendary Lady of the Golden Deer, or the old Lord of the Binghu family who lived back then, cannot match the status!
