Chapter 118: knighthood

The Ernst School of Magic does not disclose magic spells of level 7 and higher at all.

If you want to learn higher, you can only choose to take refuge in a certain party.

"Thank you, Lord Gilmore, Lord Lampson." Linley said gratefully.

Linley's mind couldn't help but think of the descriptions of some powerful wind magics he had read in books. The higher the wind magic, the more terrifying the power. Especially the single attack magic, it can even be said to be the first in each department.

Such as the forbidden magic 'dimensional blade', such as the ninth-level magic 'vacuum lore'.

"Linley, like this, when we return to Finlay City, I will immediately send someone to tell Clyde. Clyde will directly ennoble you and give you a mansion in the near future," Gilmore said with a smile.

lei nodded.

"Linley." Lampson next to him patted Linley's shoulder affectionately, "You don't need to worry about some things in the officialdom, all you need to do is practice quietly. I really want to see that within fifty years, Our Holy See of Light has one more sanctuary powerhouse.”

fifty years

Linley was confident that within fifty years, he would become a Dragonblood Warrior in the Sanctuary. As for becoming a sanctuary magister in fifty years, it would be too difficult.

"Work hard." Gilmer also patted Linley's shoulder enthusiastically.

A luxurious carriage was running on the country road, and the Metasequoia trees beside it quickly retreated to the rear. In front of and behind the carriage were rows of heroic knights. This luxurious motorcade had already arrived at Finlay City at noon.

Finlay City, in the living room of the Debs family's mansion.

"Alice, can you forgive me?" Kalan said while holding Alice's hand, staring at Alice.

Alice nodded slightly with a hint of helplessness.

What can she do

"Rowling, she'll be here soon." Alice said softly, "I'll go back first."

In any case, Alice and Karan are still not husband and wife, even if they are engaged, they are not husband and wife. Only after a big marriage can the two be considered a real couple. Before the big wedding, Alice still needs to avoid it. I go home every day.

"Rowling?" Kalan couldn't help frowning when she heard the name.

Rowling is his wife Karan.

Because of the fame of the stone sculpture 'Dream Awakening', the woman carved by 'Dream Awakening' has penetrated deep into the hearts of many people. Once Karan gets engaged, I am afraid many people will recognize Alice. In a short period of time, the Debs family has chosen a wife for Kalan.

"Kalan."

A cheerful voice sounded, and I saw a blond girl with long braids running over happily. This girl looks very pure and has that aristocratic atmosphere. Especially those puffy puffy eyes are even more cute.

"Rowling, you're here." Kalan tried her best to squeeze out a smile.

Karan also has to admit that Rowling is a very cute girl. With Rowling, I am afraid no one will refuse. It's just that what he really loves in his heart is Alice.

"Where's Uncle Bernard?" Rowling's big eyes kept looking left and right.

"Father, he went out to do errands, and it is estimated that he will be back in a while." Kalan replied.

Karan knew very well what his father was doing. Because of the suppression of the Dawson Chamber of Commerce, almost all the businesses of the Debs family in the Kingdom of Finlay collapsed, losing money every day. Fortunately, but if it takes a long time, no matter how thick the family foundation is, it can't stand it.

Moreover, the family can't sit still and eat the mountains. After all, other families in the Kingdom of Finlay are also eyeing them.

so…

His father Bernard made a threatening decision to smuggle the water jade mine.

Water jade is a relatively precious spar, which is generally used for inlaying on magic wands. It is very good for water magicians. As for water jade, there are more underground reserves in the Kingdom of Fenlai. And the Kingdom of Fenlai also earned amazing wealth by 'Shuiyu'.

Because of the preciousness of water jade, naturally many people began to smuggle water jade.

However, the smuggling of water and jade mines was hated by His Majesty the King, Clyde. For the smugglers he caught, Clyde would always execute them directly. However, because the profits of smuggling water and jade mines are too high, there are five or six times the profits, and such large profits are enough to make these businessmen take risks.

In the past, the Debs family didn't need to take desperate risks, but now they can't.

The legitimate business path was completely blocked by the Dawson Chamber of Commerce, and the Debs family could only choose to smuggle!

"It shouldn't be an accident." Kalan thought to himself, "Father, the partner he chose to cooperate with is now the Minister of Finance of the Kingdom, the Duke of Paderson, His Majesty's own younger brother. The possibility of problems with him should be very low. ."

Paderson is the finance minister of the Kingdom of Finlay.

As managing the finances of a kingdom, Clyde naturally wanted his newest person to hold the post of Chancellor of the Exchequer.

"Uncle Bernard is back." Rowling's crisp voice sounded.

Karan also looked up.

I saw Bernard walking in from the door with a smile on his face, and saw Rowling smiling and saying, "Rowling, are you here? Have you eaten dinner yet?"

"Not yet," Rowling replied.

Bernard nodded: "I'm going to have dinner with your brother Kalan tonight. Well, I have something to talk about with brother Kalan. You should go and chat with Alice first. I'll let you meet later. Brother Lan is here to accompany you." Bernard gave Kalan a wink.

Kalan obediently followed behind Bernard, and the two entered the secret room.

The stone gate was closed and candles were lit.

"Father, how is it?" Kalan asked anxiously.

There was a smug smile on Bernard's face: "I have discussed it carefully with Duke Paderson, and he has promised us. But this time, the profit is 50-50 percent."

"Fifty-fifty?" Kalan glared, "Father, the Duke of Paderson has too much appetite. For the smuggling of water jade ore, the funds are all provided by our family, and even the troops and horses are provided by us. He just Arrange some channels and arrange smuggling safety routes."

It's not that Karan doesn't understand the importance of channels.

But their Debs family spent too much money, and Paderson didn't spend a single gold coin, but just used a closure to get a huge fortune.

"Fifty-fifty is still acceptable." Bernard said with a light smile, "The Duke of Paderson is not only arranging channels, the most important thing is that he betrayed the Kingdom of Finlay and his brother by doing so. If Clyde knew that Paderson was his younger brother, I'm afraid Clyde wouldn't be soft-hearted."

Karan nodded slightly.

The other side is a duke and minister of finance. It is understandable to take such a big risk to arrange channels and get half of the profits.

Bernard and Karan walked out of the secret room and returned to the living room. At this time, Rowling was chatting with Alice.

"By the way, Kalan, I just learned from Paderson that in three days, His Majesty the King will confer a title on Linley himself in the palace." Bernard ordered, "Go and prepare a gift for me, I'll give it to Linley in a few days."

Karan nodded.

Not far away, Alice, who was talking to Rowling, couldn't help but glance here.

"Big Brother Linley, are you going to be knighted?" Alice murmured in her heart.

In the main hall of the Royal Palace of Finlay City.

Dozens of noble ministers stood under the hall in an orderly manner, while Clyde stood high above and looked down at everyone below.

"Everyone, I have a big announcement to announce today." Clyde said aloud with a bright smile. Some ministers who have been secretly informed know exactly what Clyde is going to say. Clyde glanced at the attendant next to him, and the court attendant immediately shouted loudly, "Let's pass Linley Baruch, enter the hall."

The sound spreads out, and after a while—

Lin Lei, who was wearing a black-and-gold mage robe, strolled into the hall, and all the nobles and ministers in the hall turned their attention to Lin Lei.

"Meet Your Majesty." Linley bowed respectfully.

Clyde looked at Linley with a smile on his face as if a flower bloomed: "Linley, I am very pleased that you can serve the kingdom. I will now designate you as the first court magician of the Kingdom of Finlay, and grant you Your marquis title."

"Everyone, do you have any opinions?" Clyde glanced below.

The noble ministers below all looked at Linley with admiration, but none of them objected.

"Chen, thank your majesty." lei immediately bowed to thank him.

In fact, according to the words of the red-clothed archbishop Gilmer, the Holy See of Light could completely make Linley a duke. It's just that Linley thought this was too shocking. After all, he had no title at all in the past. It is not good to raise too much at once.

So take a step back and become a marquis first.

"Lin Lei, you are the first court magician and a marquis. Naturally, you can no longer live in the Dawson Chamber of Commerce. I have arranged a very quiet mansion for you. It is on Luye Road not far from the palace." Clyde said with a smile.

Linley immediately thanked him again.

As a matter of fact, Clyde had already discussed with Linley last night about titles, mansions, etc. It was only announced publicly at the palace hall today.

When leaving the hall, Linley also started talking with these ministers.

The highest level of the Finlay Kingdom is mainly composed of a few people such as the Legion Commander, the Minister of the Right, the Minister of the Left, the Minister of Finance, and the Minister of Supervision. These few people are in charge of almost all the internal affairs of the entire Finlay Kingdom. Most of these people are dukes, and the lowest supervisor minister is also a marquis.

green leafy road.

Linley sat in the carriage, closed his eyes and meditated.

"Lord Linley, here we are." A servant's voice came from outside the carriage.

Linley opened his eyes, then lifted the curtain and got out of the carriage. And Beibei jumped directly from the carriage onto Linley's shoulders.

"Wow, what a big mansion." Bei Bei looked at the mansion in front of him.

Linley also looked carefully at the mansion bestowed by His Majesty the King. The mansion was indeed very large. The door alone was ten meters wide. Through the open door, Linley could see many servants, maids, and others. Many knights from the temple.

"Not bad." Linley nodded and stepped into it.

"Sir." The waiter at the gate bowed respectfully, and all the maids and men in the front yard of the mansion stopped in unison and bowed to Linley.

The first time to make a good impression on the master, the servants here all know what their master is good at.

"Master Linley, congratulations, congratulations." Suddenly a familiar voice came from beside him.

Linley turned around and said, "Mr. Bernard."

The person who came was Bernard, the patriarch of the Debs family, and Bernard looked at Linley with a smile: "Master Linley, it's really a coincidence, my family's mansion is also on Luye Road, it's just a house across from yours. Communication will be much easier in the future.”

"Oh." Linley also remembered that the first time he rescued Alice, Kalan, and the others, and sent them to Kalan's house, Kalan's house seemed to be not far away.

"However, Master Linley, your mansion is much bigger than my family's. Your majesty used to live in your mansion." Bernard said complimentably.

Linley also felt that this mansion was astonishingly large, much bigger than his ancestral home. To have such a large mansion in Finlay City, where every inch of land is so precious, is not something that can be achieved simply by having money. This was originally the place where His Majesty Clyde lived, no wonder.

"Mr. Bernard, I'll go back first, and I'll talk later when I have time." Linley smiled humbly, then turned his head and walked into the mansion.

At this time, at the door of the Debs family, Kalan, Rowling, and Alice were standing together and watching from a distance.
