Norton smiled from the bottom of his heart and raised a glass to celebrate Linn.
He also brought a lot of gold coins as gifts this time.
Wait until he returns to the banquet.
Earls from other places also began to come forward to give congratulations.
Many of the people here were strangers, and Lin En couldn't even name them.
This is nothing surprising.
Some of these nobles came from the Principality of Valencia, and some even came from other parts of the kingdom.
Two years ago, Lynn was unknown and had very few opportunities to come into contact with these unfamiliar faces.
Since his deeds spread with songs, many nobles and lords want to close relations with Linn to please him.
They are all happy to seize this opportunity to express their feelings.
If they had this honor, these nobles even wanted to give their daughters to Lin En as their wives.
And use this relationship to build a solid alliance for both parties.
But when they saw the wives around Lin En, they immediately realized that their thoughts were nothing more than extravagant hopes.
Their daughter pales in comparison to these ladies.
Presumably Earl Linn would not take a fancy to it at all.
And Linn felt that she really needed to thank Julia today.
Thanks to her sitting next to him.
Whenever a strange noble came forward to give a gift, she would always whisper in her husband's ear what area he ruled and what family he came from.
This would prevent him from appearing too embarrassed and rude.
After all the earls presented their gifts.
Naturally, it was the turn of the barons in the Mons area, as well as the minor nobles and so on.
Sir Chad was among them.
It was him who sent Sylvie to Lin En.
Because of this relationship, Linn naturally showed extra enthusiasm towards Chad.
"Dear Lord, I know that wealth is no longer something that you value, so I have specially prepared a special gift for you."
After getting Linn's permission, Chad ordered his servants to bring a sword.
He raised his hands and handed it to Linn respectfully.
"This is the Sword of the Dawnbreaker. It was a gift given to me by an old Paladin friend before his death. It has been with me for a long time, and I want to dedicate it to you today."
Chad said the name of the sword in front of everyone. The hall fell silent instantly, as if even the music had stopped.
All the guests looked over at the same time.
Although the blade was hidden in the sheath, it was exquisite. The hilt of the sword revealed an extraordinary aura.
Everyone just glanced at 05 from a distance, and they were amazed.
"Is this the Dawnbreaker? How could it be in his hands?"
"The Sword of the Dawnbreaker has long been famous and is a legendary and powerful weapon!"
"Its former owner used this long sword to quell the plague of the undead a hundred years ago. I didn’t expect that I would be lucky enough to witness it with my own eyes today!"
The appearance of the Dawnbreaker Sword made the faces of the guests dim.
Although they had presented Lin En with countless gold coins and precious gifts, they seemed so insignificant in front of the Dawnbreaker!
What is even more unexpected is that this How could a man be so generous as to give such a precious sword to Lin En as a gift?
"who is he? Does anyone know it?"
"I don't know, I've never seen it before……"
"Huh? I seem to have seen him before. He was the leader of the Vali Mercenary Group before, and now he has become a vassal of Lord Linn."
"oh! No wonder!"
Lynn has naturally heard rumors about this sword, and knows that it is worth a lot of money.
For a warrior, he must cherish his weapon.
What's more, this was a gift from Chad's old friend and has been with him for many years..
Although Lin En was tempted, he did not want to take away the beauty.
He declined politely:"Chad, I accept your intention. You should keep the sword for yourself."
But he forgot in the end.
This is a barbaric world, which is not consistent with the etiquette of the previous life, and does not pay attention to the gentleman's style and the beauty of humility.
In this world, when a warrior sincerely offers his weapon and is rejected by the other party, , would be regarded as a humiliation.
Julia pulled Lynn's sleeve and reminded in a low voice:"My dear, only you deserve to have such a magic weapon, you should accept it, right?"
Lynn reacted.
Fortunately, Chad's face remained normal.
He was still half-kneeling in front of Linn, holding up the sword with both hands resolutely and sincerely:
"Mr. Lynn, I have always regarded Sylvie as my daughter. And you are a well-deserved great lord.
It is not only her honor for Sylvie to be your wife, but also my honor!
What's more, you granted me the village of Nicarro and made me a landed noble.
Not only do I offer my sword, but I also offer my life. I swear to be forever loyal to you.
Your enemy is also my enemy. I will fight bravely at all costs to bring glory and prosperity to you and your family!
Please accept it! Sylvie on the side was also moved by this, her eyes were wet:"Captain……"
She had not known Chad for a particularly long time.
But he didn't expect that he would have such a special place in his heart.
Sylvie has a vague memory of her real father.
Lin En nodded slightly:"Okay, in that case, I accept it."
He picked up the Sword of Dawn and immediately felt the powerful energy contained in the sword.
It seemed that as long as he waved the sword gently, the fighting spirit in Lin En's body would boil and increase several times.
Magical weapons will enhance the user's fighting spirit and make their fighting skills more powerful.
"It is indeed a sharp sword"
"Thank you, Lord. It becomes truly valuable in your hands."
Seeing that Lynn finally accepted his gift, Chad finally breathed a sigh of relief.
This lord was kind to him after all.
He did not let him lose his glory and dignity in public.
"Forgive me for resigning first!"
After Chad left.
Next to congratulate Lynn were representatives from major chambers of commerce, as well as some local celebrities and craftsman representatives.
The whole process lasted almost a whole day.
Lynn felt like he was about to become a part of the chair.
His The newlywed wife was obviously not having a good time either.
Although Sylvie tried her best to pretend to be dignified, but with her usually lively and active habits, she probably wanted to run away as soon as she found an opportunity.
Sylvie whispered coquettishly:"Oh my God, When will this end?……"
Julia smiled and reassured:"It's coming soon, sister, it's coming soon."
The day came to an end.
Lin En received a gift of two thousand gold coins from this wedding that cost one hundred gold coins.
Go on like this.
Lin En even felt that she would not have to do anything in the future.
He only needs to find various suitable marriage partners and get married two or three times a year, so that he can obtain huge wealth.
Of course, the consequence of this may be that he will be blacklisted by the entire aristocratic circle.
After the long process is completed.
The banquet atmosphere has officially reached its climax.
Servants walked into the hall carrying plates and patting the long line, filling the guests' glasses with fine wine, and musicians worked hard to play various elegant musical instruments.
This banquet must last for at least seven days.
In order to show the respect and generosity of the host to the guests.
Lin En just made a big fortune, now he won't feel bad about this small amount of money.
He has a happy thing of his own that he is busy doing.
That is to observe the expressions of the guests.
Observe them laughing, cursing, clamoring and whispering - especially Duke Vincent.
From the moment he stepped into the castle.
Lin En paid special attention to her.
As an old man with limited mobility like him, Linn didn't expect him to attend the wedding banquet.
Yet he came.
Vincent always had a smile on his wrinkled face.
But it was difficult for Linn to tell whether he was laughing or worried.
Especially today, many of the guests are earls of the Principality of Valencia, and they are also vassals of Duke Vincent.
But Linn didn't see much respect for the Duke himself on these people's faces.
They seemed to be snubbing the lord, intentionally or unintentionally.
This time made the Duke's originally stooped body look even older.
Even the attitude of these nobles towards Linn was much more enthusiastic than towards Duke Vincent.
Linn had anticipated this before.
The Duke used his hand to ban Gordon and put the Cassar family in charge of the Mons area, but inadvertently created a more powerful family.
Even though Linn himself never coveted the Duke's throne.
But the master on the throne will also become restless because of his presence.
Lin En knew this very well, but he kept his composure and pretended not to be aware of it.
Today he is just a groom immersed in the joy of his wedding.
The performance of the banquet reached another climax.
The intertwined sounds of various musical instruments gradually stopped and turned into a single instrumental accompaniment.
This means the bard is about to start singing.
This time it was a female singer, her voice high and graceful. (To read exciting novels, go to Feilu Novel Network!)
���The melody he sang sounded familiar to Linn.
It was clearly the tune that Martin sang in the parish that night.
The lyrics are naturally newly arranged.
But the master in the song seems to be Lin En herself.
This time the Battle of the Swamp is no longer told.
It turned into the story of that night in the diocese, when Linn single-handedly fought against Yoren and several of his men.
Just a few minutes of singing.
But he described Linn as a brave and great warrior.
And the process is very exciting and...distorted.
It made Linn blush a little.
The poet arranges the story with moving words, which makes it more attractive even though it loses some of its authenticity.
In this way, they can also get more reward money from their master's pocket.
The guests listened quietly, completely attracted by the inspiring story, and they began to applaud enthusiastically.
The atmosphere of the banquet became restless again.
All the guests shouted Lin En's name and stood up to raise their glasses to him.
Lynn echoed their enthusiasm.
While toasting, he secretly looked at Duke Vincent
…………
Human beings' joys and sorrows are not the same.
This sentence is most suitable for Duke Vincent.
In such a joyful atmosphere, there is a sad old man like him.
The Duke invited Lyn to his castle on several occasions.
However, Lin En refused temporarily because of his busy schedule and asked to postpone the date.
This made Vincent uneasy all day long.
So even though his body was already dying, he still managed to come to Mons.
But what did he see when he got here?
Towering castle with impenetrable walls.
These are not uncommon and can be seen elsewhere.
But the bustling markets, bustling caravans, vibrant streets, and the happy looks on the faces of the people.
These are really uncommon in other areas.
Vincent was curious about what means Linn used to completely change Mons's appearance in a short period of time?
Even the territory under his rule is now less than half as prosperous as the Mons region - I'm afraid the world will soon regard Mons as the real capital of the Principality of Valencia!
If Linn only owned rich land, it would not be enough to make Duke Vincent feel a sense of crisis.
On the way to the Mons region.
Of course, the Duke had heard a lot of rumors about Lynn.
Gordon's army was wiped out overnight, and it only took half a day to eliminate the invading orcs.
At that time he was still lucky.
I feel that this young man may just have the courage to fight and charge, and because he is favored by fate, he will always achieve unexpected victories.
However, when Vincent actually arrived at Mons Castle.
His illusions were completely shattered.
Needless to say, the strength of the Vali Legion was already well-known in its predecessor.
What surprised the Duke most were the female knights in Lynn Castle.
They were as steely as iron, revealing a solemn murderous aura.
The tightly buckled helmet makes people feel the pressure from the unknown and shudder.
Although Vincent had not seen their strength with his own eyes, he felt from the aura they exuded - these knights were the real weapons of the Casar family.
As for such a terrifying existence, Lin En has at least hundreds of them under his command!
From the moment the Duke steps through the door, all corridors, gardens and halls, and even every inconspicuous corner.
There are these female knights everywhere.
Although they were motionless, their cold eyes seemed to be monitoring all the guests through their heavy helmets.
Vincent felt that these knights were like Lynn's eyes. everywhere.
The first time 923 made him feel that maybe he shouldn't come this time.
Today, Linn only needs to move his fingers, and all the guests will be bloodied on the spot - no lord in this world can fight against so many knights at the same time.
Only now did the Duke truly realize what a terrifying guy Lynn was.
Far scarier than that bastard Gordon!
His chest began to feel tight and his consciousness gradually became blurred.
The Duke was surprised to find that the floor of the hall was shaking and the chandelier on the ceiling was spinning.
Immediately afterwards, he fell heavily to the ground, leaving only vague moans in his mouth.
…………
Everyone gathered around.
After a doctor's examination, the Duke was just feeling unwell due to a sudden illness.
Nothing serious.
Linn was also shocked.
No one wants someone to die at their wedding.
He quickly ordered his servants to send the Duke to the guest room to rest, and he also went to express his condolences.
There were dozens of earls and more than twenty barons under Vincent's rule.
But only a few people came to the guest room to care about his physical condition.
Also included were Lyn and his father-in-law, Earl Norton
"Lynn……"The Duke's old voice said slowly:"I'm fine, you don't have to worry."
He is now more like an amiable and ordinary old man, without any dignity or airs of a ruler.
"I'm dying……"Duke Vincent forced a smile:"Can you promise me something? I don't trust my son.
If possible, I would like to invite you to serve as my military commander?"
Linn was slightly startled.
I didn't expect that the Duke would make such an invitation at such a time.
For ordinary people.
Being able to become the military commander of a lord not only means glory, but also benefits a lot from it.
But for Linn, this is undoubtedly a huge bad thing.
Once he accepts it, he must immediately part with his wife and children, and must leave his castle to take up his post in the ducal domain.
But if Linn refuses.
Not only will it make the Duke question his loyalty even more, but it will also cause unnecessary fear in the future.
Earl Norton saw his son-in-law's hesitation.
So he hurriedly reconciled - this was an act of transgression.
"Your Majesty, maybe I am more qualified than Lynn? Norton said with a smile on his face:
"This boy has just married a beautiful bride, and now he is afraid that he is reluctant to leave his gentle hometown."
Duke Vincent was startled at first, and then showed an expression of disbelief and surprise:
"Norton...how about you? Ugh, Lynn, I want to hear what you mean."
Lynn was noncommittal:"Master Norton is right, I really don't want to give up."
The Duke felt that if he were two hundred years younger, he would definitely not give up as easily as he does today.
Now he could only shake his head helplessly:"In this case, I can't force it.
After your wedding banquet, I want to invite you to another banquet hosted by me. You won’t refuse me this little request again, right?"
This time, Vincent's tone was more like a request.
Lynn breathed a sigh of relief:"Of course, I will be honored to accept your invitation."
