Chapter 741: Knighted by the Elf

It was still the hall where the honor was awarded last time. The twelve elf councilors have not changed, and they have six on each side.

In the middle sat the Grand Duke Edwina and the Duke of Albert. At this time, the Grand Duke Edwina became even younger. Because of the use of 'washing water' and 'conditioner' before, he looked She looked like she was in her thirties, but now she looked like she was in her twenties.

I don't know if it was Abel's illusion, but he always felt that the four female elf councilors among the twelve elf councilors looked at him very warmly.

Can you not be enthusiastic?

Other elves rarely get in touch with Grand Duke Edwina, but they often do.

Just after Lady Carrie, several other countesses, and Abel went to search for beauty-preserving grass to refine the 'beauty-retaining potion' and came back, not only Lady Carrie's face changed slightly, but Grand Duke Edwina It's an earth-shaking change.

The current Grand Duke Edwina is at her age, but his appearance is so young, how can he not let these female elf councilors who guessed the inside story go crazy.

Not to mention the female elf councilors, even the male elf councilors have ideas about the effect of the 'beauty-retaining potion'.

It's just that all the elves know that the refining of the 'beauty-retaining potion' is very difficult, and the rejuvenating grass in it must be refined on the spot as soon as it is freshly collected. It is precisely because of this that these male elf councilors Lack of confidence in getting the 'Rejuvenating Potion'.

"Master Bennett, due to your contribution to the druids of Anjost City with your 'Elf Perfume' and your outstanding performance in alchemy, after consultation with the Anyost City Council, you are granted the title of Baron , and give you a fief!" Grand Duke Edwina announced looking at Abel.

"Thank you Grand Duke!" Abel stepped forward and bowed in salute.

He didn't say anything about loyalty and allegiance. If he used to say it casually, but now his identity is different. As a king, he can't give allegiance even in transformation. other people.

He didn't even say his allegiance to the royal family of the Principality of St. Ellis, let alone the grand duke of the elves.

Of course, Grand Duke Edwina also understands Abel's position very well. More importantly, this time the title is more for the benefit of the elves, and although the relationship between her and Abel has eased, But it didn't fully recover.

Grand Duke Edwina knew this, and Abel also knew this. With the improvement of Abel's status, the relationship between them has changed from the beginning when Grand Duke Edwina suppressed Abel to the current complete equal relationship.

Duke Albert, who was watching all this from the side, couldn't help but think of the scene when he first met Abel and what he said at that time.

Grand Duke Edwina said at the time: "According to his current development, I'm afraid that in twenty years, he may be able to talk to us on an equal footing!"

And now, less than two years later, Abel has grown to be equal to them. Although Abel is only a junior wizard, his status as a master blacksmith has the result of killing three or four senior wizards. , all of which show that Abel has surpassed them both in terms of status and strength.

The twelve councilors were also a little puzzled at this time. The knighting this time was indeed left to the parliament for discussion, and the proposal was proposed by Duke Albert.

Who among the twelve congressmen would come forward to block an elf honorary alchemist?

Although the twelve councilors seem to be the most powerful group of elves in Anjost City,

In fact, they each represent the great nobles behind them, and these great nobles will never allow them to offend an honored elf alchemist.

It is not very high for the honored master alchemist of the elves to confer a baron. Although the fief did not say where it is, it is not from them. It is from the city of Anjost, and it is from the hands of the Grand Duke Edwina.

It's just that Master Bennett didn't show allegiance when he was knighted last time, and he still didn't show allegiance this time when he was conferred a baron and granted a territory.

Because granting a land to be a baron means being a heraldic nobleman, and the heraldic noblemen of the Holy Land are very important, so there is no oath of allegiance for such a heavy reward.

But what is even more strange is that the Grand Duke Edwina did not have any objections, and even the Duke Albert beside him had a smile on his face and was not dissatisfied at all.

The smile on Duke Albert's face was because he thought of the news he had received from Derek, the housekeeper, that the birthday present that Abel was going to give him was a bottle of 'beautiful potion'.

To be honest, he has long wanted the 'Preserving Beauty Potion', not only because he also cares about his appearance very much.

Of course appearance is indeed very important to him, but more importantly, his wife, the Grand Duke Edwina, has become extremely young, like a young girl, which makes him look a little old on the sidelines.

Although the other elves didn't say anything, for more than a year, he always felt that there was a hidden meaning in the eyes of other elves.

But if he asked Abel for a bottle of 'Preserving Beauty Potion' in person, he couldn't say it out loud. He didn't want to lose face in front of Abel, and he also knew that the 'Preserving Beauty Potion' was too precious.

So he calculated that the knighthood was only a few days away from his birthday, and told Abel what he wanted through the mouth of Derek, the housekeeper, in the name of Lady Carrie.

At this moment, he was complacent about his calculations, completely oblivious to the fact that the twelve elf councilors and Grand Duke Edwina were all looking at him.

"Master Bennett, your fief will be taken over by Derek, please tell him if you need anything!" Grand Duke Edwina pointed to Derek the housekeeper, and said to Abel with a smile.

"Thank you Grand Duke!" Abel bowed again and thanked him.

The knighting ceremony is not complicated. Although the knighting is a big event for every elf in it, it is just a daily government affairs for the Grand Duke's Mansion that manages the city of Anjost.

So after the knighting ceremony, when Abel walked out of the hall, only the butler Derek followed him, and the other elves continued to discuss other matters.

"Steward Derek, is my territory far from Anyost City?" Abel asked as he walked.

"Master Bennett, your territory is not far away, it's just that the geographical location is a bit special!" Butler Derek replied.

The silver-white carriage stopped at the gate of the Grand Duke's mansion. The half-elf coachman Kurt saw Abel coming, so he jumped off the carriage and opened the door for Abel.

Abel stepped into the carriage and made an invitation gesture to Butler Derek.

"Master Bennett, this is my place!" Butler Derek bowed to express his thanks, and pointed to the position of the shaft.

Steward Derek understood Abel's identity very well. Abel was not only an honorary master alchemist, but also a person whom Countess Lorraine recognized.

And he also discovered that both Grand Duke Edwina and Duke Albert showed enough respect to Abel.

He didn't know what had happened in the past two years since Abel left, but he could clearly see that there must have been some major changes in Abel's identity compared to two years ago and now.

Although he didn't know what this change was, and he had never heard of Master Bennett's identity change, but as an old man in the Grand Duke's Mansion, he could tell from the expressions of the two masters of the Grand Duke's Mansion. Variety.

So he became even more respectful, and he put himself in the same position as Abel's steward.

"Let's go to the Australia and Asia Palace!" Derek the butler said in a loud voice, and told Abel and the coachman Kurt at the same time.

"Butler Derek, can you tell me about the Australia and Asia Palace? Is my territory near there?" Abel is very unfamiliar with this place name, and of course he is not familiar with most of the place names in the Double Moon Forest.

"Master Bennett, your territory is the valley where the Australia and Asia Palace is located. It is a beautiful place, one of the most beautiful palaces in the entire Bimoon Forest!" Derek the butler said with pride in his eyes.

Abel didn't expect that the fief this time would be a palace, which should be the palace of the Grand Duke's mansion.

The silver-white carriage set off from the Grand Duke's Mansion. Along the way, all the carriages would back off automatically, which made the carriages run towards the outside of the city at almost extreme speed.
