"Grandmaster Abel, your title of baronet has been restored. However, the Principality of Kamai was unable to contact you for the time being, so it was unable to notify you!" Duke Ernest saw that Abel was still very upset about the reduction of his title. It is also extremely helpless.
Abel was still a master blacksmith when he was deposed. The most important thing is that the senior wizard Colliver forced the approval, and His Majesty Ambrose had no choice but to agree.
Who would have thought that as soon as they agreed, Abel's title was reduced, and Abel became a master blacksmith over there. What's even more tragic is that the senior wizard Colliver died like this, leaving the Kingdom of St. Ellis directly. Backed up.
Who could have been so unlucky to the Kingdom of St. Alice? This kind of thing, where even senior wizards would be killed, has not happened for hundreds of years. It just happened, and the fourth blacksmith master in the continent and the number one blacksmith in the human world just happened. A master blacksmith also appeared.
At the same time, the Kingdom of St. Ellis encountered two impossible things, which made His Majesty Ambrose very helpless.
"My aristocratic status has been restored?" Abel still likes to have aristocratic status, because this will allow his family to live better in the secular world.
Abel's expression relaxed a little. Being a baron was actually not too important to him. The main reason was that he was too aggrieved. A master blacksmith was deprived of his title by a principality.
The reason why the baronet status is not important is because he wants the title very simply, just like the Duke of Stirton in the Kingdom of St. Paul just now. As long as Abel agrees to settle there, he will have the title of earl and a large number of fiefs.
"Not only has the title been restored, Leandre George, the former king of the Principality of Kamai, has abdicated. If you are still not relieved, the empire can take him to your castle and do whatever you want!" Duke Ernest said with a smile.
Abel couldn't help being shocked when he heard this. He thought to himself that Duke Ernest wanted to harm him. If he took a king to the castle and lynched him, his reputation in the aristocratic circle would be ruined, and it would also affect him. Go to the Harvest City Harry family and the Abel family that he represents.
But seeing Duke Ernest's sincere look, I knew in my heart that I wanted him to calm down, so I couldn't help but smile and said: "Just abdicate, just don't let him appear in front of me!"
"Master Abel, you are too tolerant!" Duke Ernest bowed and said, secretly breathing a sigh of relief in his heart. If the Kingdom of St. Ellis really handed over a king of a subordinate country to Abel, the consequences would be absolute. is profound.
"Duke Ernest, excuse me, I'm going to greet the others!" Abel had no intention of accepting the conferment from the Kingdom of St. Alice. He was not even prepared to accept the conferment from the Kingdom of St. Paul, because he I simply don't want to bear certain responsibilities by accepting the empire's bestowal. Everyone knows that these bestowals are not free, and will eventually be converted into certain rewards and returned to the empire.
"Grandmaster Abel, don't you want to hear His Majesty Ambrose's conferment of the title?" Duke Ernest asked confidently.
He knew that the intelligence organization of the Kingdom of St. Alice had carefully studied all of Abel's information and finally made this grant. It might not be the best grant, but he believed that it was the most difficult thing for Abel to refuse. .
"Please tell me!" Abel stopped. Duke Ernest's words made him curious. He turned to face Duke Ernest and said.
"I will grant you the title of Earl of the Kingdom of St. Alice!" Duke Ernest said in a deep voice.
At this time, the Duke of Sturton of the St. Paul Kingdom sneered and said: "This condition is not generous. If Grandmaster Abel is willing, I can make you a Marquis on behalf of the empire!"
Abel didn't care about the level of his title. As long as he was alive, no one would dare to look down upon him even if he was a lord. However, a title that was too high would cause trouble if the family did not have enough ability and he was not around.
"Grant Harvest City as your territory, and everything that belongs to Harvest City will become your territory, and the nobles in the territory will automatically become your vassals. If you don't want these nobles to be in your territory, the empire can impose restrictions on these nobles. The territory will be replaced," Duke Ernest continued confidently.
"Harvest City is just a grain producing area. It doesn't have much mineral resources. It can only be regarded as an ordinary fiefdom. Your Kingdom of St. Ellis is too stingy!" Duke Stirton laughed.
But unlike the Duke of Stirton, Abel's eyes lit up. Harvest City is where his family is. This kind of grant made him very satisfied. The minerals may be exhausted one day, but high-quality land is Everlasting wealth.
Harvest City is at the forefront of the entire Holy Continent, far away from the war. If his fiefdom is determined there, and his magic tower is built in Harry Castle, then even if there are some sporadic orcs coming, they can be cleared quickly. .
"Duke Ernest, does His Majesty Ambrose's conferment require me to go to Dunan City to receive the conferment? I may not have time to go there recently!" Abel counted the time. Now that the wanted order has been lifted, and he is already an official wizard. The magic tower matter is about to be put on the agenda, and there may be no free time for a long time.
Duke Ernest heard the meaning of Abel's words and couldn't help being overjoyed. He bowed and said: "Grandmaster Abel, please rest assured. His Majesty Ambrose has told you that as long as you accept this grant, then It will take effect automatically. Of course, His Majesty Ambrose welcomes you to visit his palace at any time!”
"Congratulations to Grandmaster Abel!" Duke Stirton did not feel any abnormality because Abel agreed to grant the title from the Kingdom of St. Ellis. At this time, he bowed and congratulated Abel with a smile.
"Everyone, let's raise the wine glasses and drink together for Grandmaster Abel to obtain the title of earl!" Duke Ernest is very good at stirring up the atmosphere. He took a glass of wine and said in his hand.
"Drink!" Everyone present picked up their wine glasses and congratulated together.
In fact, everyone present knew that this earldom title was just the icing on the cake and did not have much practical significance to Abel. However, the concept of nobility was rooted in everyone's mind, and it was also a good thing to have a higher title. Very congratulatory.
"Grandmaster Abel, when will the food be served? You can't let me not serve the food even though I'm drunk!" Bernie took a sip of wine and shouted.
"Everyone, I'm rude, because my dishes are special and must be the best when they are freshly made, so I didn't serve them in advance. Now that everyone is here, let's serve!" Abel bowed first. He saluted everyone in the room and said the last sentence to Butler Alkwin, who was walking in because all the guests were gone.
Soon the servants began to come in carrying huge plates. Because there were so many people today, Abel asked the kitchen to put the boiled fish, sweet and sour pork, spareribs soup, and fried steak on large plates and put them on the table. Let each guest serve himself on a small plate, while the steamed eggs are served in a small bowl and put one bowl per person on the table.
All dishes are watched by dedicated servants, and if there is any shortage, the kitchen will be notified in time to make up for it.
When the servants opened the lids on the four huge plates, a strong aroma immediately filled the entire hall. Everyone, whether they were wizards or nobles, looked intoxicated.
"Grandmaster Abel, only here can I eat such authentic dishes!" Senior wizard Lorenzo sighed.
He had been a guest at Abel's place once and had eaten in the Forgotten Land. Of course he would sigh like this when comparing the two.
At this moment, several more servants came in carrying trays with small bowls containing steamed eggs. They walked to the dining table and the servants carefully placed the small bowls on the dining table.
"You're welcome, the dishes I serve here are prepared by the royal chef of the Kingdom of St. Paul. This level is absolutely top-notch!" Abel introduced with a smile.
"Grandmaster Abel, the chefs in the empire are not of this level. You are so humble. Who doesn't know that the dishes you create are unique in Leante City!" Duke Sterton from the Kingdom of St. Paul said quickly. .
"Grandmaster Abel, I'm sorry, I'll eat this steamed egg first. Every time I think about the taste, I can't sleep at night. Although the steamed eggs in the Forgotten Land are good, they are far inferior to the taste you have here! Senior wizard Lorenzo reached for a bowl of steamed eggs and said with a smile.
