"Okay! My knight, I will give you a fief! Before that, you have to think about your family name and emblem, and give it to my herald officer!"
The Earl of Lanshan affectionately took Wu Ming into his arms: "There is also your knight baptism, a lot of preparations... You will get used to it slowly, of course... These are all things in the future. Now, let us cheer as much as we want!"
He immediately announced: "I have arranged a banquet in the castle, let us celebrate Sir William together!"
As the last rank of nobility, knights are not more formal than barons, but they also have hereditary land, so they can be called 'jazz' and can be regarded as general members of nobility.
In Wu Ming's view, it is the difference between an ancient scholar and a scholar.
"congratulations!"
Viscount Garcia and the archbishop stepped forward first.
"Thank you!"
Wu Ming carefully paid attention to the biggest opponent of the Earl of Blue Mountain. The opposite Viscount Garcia had a kind complexion, and his golden hair shone brightly in the sun, like a golden lion.
'The Viscount Garcia comes from a family of heroes in the highlands, and the Earl of Blue Mountain is an orthodox blue-blooded leader who likes tigers very much, so is this war a battle between lions and tigers? '
He thought quite interestingly in his heart, and greeted them one by one.
"As far as I know, the holy oil in Howling Castle has almost run out. If Sir William wants to baptize the knight as soon as possible, our church is willing to help!"
The attitude of the archbishop is very different from that of the day.
"Feel sorry… "
Seeing the somewhat displeased face of the Earl of Lanshan, Wu Ming immediately refused.
After all, he is now a knight who has won the title of knight through the martial arts competition. He is from the Blue Mountain lineage. Even if the earl has a good relationship with the church at this time, he cannot surrender to the enemy like this.
"I think you've misunderstood..."
The archbishop's voice was ethereal: "I mean, the church only provides holy oil, and the seven-day ceremony can still be carried out in the Earl's Castle!"
This condition was too lenient, and even Garcia showed a hint of deep interest.
He stared at Wu Ming, with a strange light in his eyes: "Sir William has such strength before he has been baptized as a knight. The benefits will be even greater, how about doing it now?"
"Sorry... this will be decided by my lord!"
Wu Ming said politely, but actually refused.
Sure enough, the Earl of Blue Mountain came over the next moment: "Sir William, you still have many friends here!"
"Then let's not bother!"
The three most powerful people in Fengying Plain looked at each other and smiled, all of them were somewhat inexplicable.
"Hi! William! Unbelievable!"
Baron Terry came over in a tuxedo: "You are the first noble in my territory who was promoted from a commoner!"
Perhaps because he thought that the other party really had some kind of blood relationship with him, the baron's expression was very strange now.
"Congratulations! Sir William!"
Thakur also congratulated sincerely.
At this time, William has grown to the same level as him, which seems so unbelievable.
As for Fede? At this time, I can only salute respectfully.
The gap between him and William has been infinitely widened at this moment, and he basically has no chance to continue to catch up in his life.
Therefore, he can only show his humility, and faithfully expect Wu Ming to forget the unhappiness of the past.
In fact, he also thought too much, Wu Ming's eyes were always fixed on the whole world and even the universe, and he simply dismissed this kind of guy who didn't block his way.
"Alright, let's go to Howling Castle to attend the banquet!"
Baron Terry took the initiative to invite: "There will definitely be many nobles who want to meet you!... Have fun!"
I don't know why, after hearing his words full of hints, Wu Ming looked at the hidden fiery eyes of the ladies around him, but suddenly thought of the gladiators in the ancient Roman era in his previous life.
Those noble ladies of the Roman Empire also watched the bloody fights of gladiators during the day, and had an affair with the gladiators at night, even quite blatantly and recklessly.
'Is the corrupt life of the nobility beckoning to me? '
Wu Ming thought to himself, but he didn't refuse, which made the ladies wave their fans a little faster...
…
The banquet at Howling Castle was naturally extremely extravagant. In a hall with fountains and flowers, resplendent chandeliers flashed bright lights, bards and clown musicians performed continuously, and there was a handsome and beautiful servant girl wearing Flowers and butterflies usually wander around the field, with a variety of fine wines and delicacies on silver plates on the trays in their hands.
Many elegant and brightly dressed ladies and nobles invited them to dance and even flirt.
As a newly-promoted knight, Wu Ming, who has recently been in the limelight as a 'clothed swordsman', naturally received extremely warm hospitality.
Although in the eyes of some old nobles, he is just a commoner nouveau riche, but there are even noble ladies who are purely interested in his handsome appearance and powerful strength.
After just one lap, there were seven or eight more handkerchiefs and other tokens of love in his arms, so that when he bid farewell to the Earl of Lanshan in advance, the other party gave him a rather understanding look.
…
When he came to the back garden of the castle, an almond-eyed, peach-cheeked lady who looked about twenty-five years old couldn't wait to greet her, with a blush on her cheeks: "Sir William, I watch every game of yours Oh, you are the embodiment of bravery, I never imagined that... a samurai can be so powerful... "
"I don't know if Sir is willing to meet our sister's small request?"
From among the flowers, at some point in time came out a noble lady in palace attire, whose appearance was six to seven points similar to the one next to her. She giggled coquettishly and said, "Let us see your other sword skills?"
"Of course, it's disrespectful!"
Seeing the eyes of these two women, Wu Ming suddenly felt a dark fire rising in his heart...
…
late at night.
Wu Ming walked out of Wind Howling Castle with ease.
He is a person who keeps his promises, and naturally he will not miss any appointments he promised.
Presumably, by tomorrow, the news about the invincible bravery of the 'Common Cloth Sword Master', who has defeated the enemy in a series of battles, will spread among the secret circle of ladies.
When he came out at this time, he didn't want to hunt game, but was just ready to accept the result of today's battle.
The heart of the wolf mercenary group is stationed.
Tana had just returned to the room, and she was shocked immediately. After she saw the black figure clearly, her tense body relaxed again, and she said with a charming smile, "Dear Sir William, can you stop being so scary every time you appear on the stage?" ?”
She seemed to be intentional or unintentional, and there was a hint of laziness and temptation in her voice.
It's a pity that Wu Ming has eaten too much before, and he doesn't have much interest in this black widow.
"I've fulfilled my promise, what about yours?"
His voice is low.
"Of course I won't forget!"
Tana's face changed into a solemn expression, and she led Wu Ming to another room.
There, Alfred's body lay there quietly, with the dragon heart long sword and several boxes beside it.
"Alfred's complete body, Dragon Heart Sword, and his private collection are all here..."
Tana spoke calmly, without any intention of deceitful.
After all, she knew quite well that Alfred besieged and killed this person twice, but he killed a lot of his confidants and elites, and even died in his hands.
This is not the case, and her seizure of power cannot be so smooth.
Now that a noble title is beckoning to her, under such circumstances, naturally, she doesn't want to make extra troubles.
"It's just... you want his body, and it's still intact, what's the use?"
Tana asked curiously.
"you do not need to know!"
Wu Ming refused to answer as a matter of course. The coldness and icy cold almost made Tana's mind instantly come up with words from horror legends such as 'necromancer', 'thaumaturgy' and 'soul stealer'. I even started thinking about whether to report to the church.
But when he thought of Wu Ming's methods, as well as his conspiracy with him, he immediately calmed down.
"Then... happy trading!"
Wu Mingqing sorted out his things, glanced at the woman who was still dreaming of being an aristocrat, and left with a smile.
The Earl of Blue Mountain was interested in the wolf heart mercenary group under the leadership of Alfred, a knight. Now that the main force has been damaged like this, even if there were some promises made before, it is still a matter of whether they are willing to abide by them now.
Unless Tana, a woman, can prove it to him, or show some value.
Of course, all of this has nothing to do with him.
…
Howling outside the city.
"Owner!"
Seeing Wu Ming come back, Beatrice exclaimed in surprise.
"Well... you worked hard!"
Wu Ming handed Beatrice a basket full of barbecue and white bread.
This descendant of blue blood didn't take advantage of this time to escape, which was a little bit unexpected. Although he had already tampered with the other party, he was not afraid that Beatrice would be able to escape.
Seeing Beatrice who cheered and went to the side to enjoy, Wu Ming secretly nodded in his heart: "He is a smart little guy!"
This is his small base outside of Wind Howling City, because at the beginning he was going to treat Beatrice's illness and explore the mysteries of the Holy Oil. After a winter's care, the most basic tools are not lacking.
After checking all of Alfred's belongings, he first sorted out the Dragon Heart Great Sword and a scroll of parchment.
Among the relics of the head of the mercenary regiment, apart from a batch of Jin Delong and the deed of land, only these two things have value.
In other words, in Wu Ming's eyes, the value of these two things is even higher than these wealth!
Because above them, there is a layer of aura that represents the extraordinary!
"This is… "
Beatrice had just had a good meal when she saw Wu Ming spread out the leather and a dead body appeared, and she couldn't help but gag.
"Alfred..."
Wu Ming checked the corpse.
This is the same blue blood as Beatrice, and she is not afraid of consumption, destruction and use. Some conjectures that cannot be made on Beatrice can be confirmed one by one.
