Chapter 256 Return to the Territory (Asking for Monthly Tickets and Recommendation Tickets)

A night of silence.

The next day, the first ray of light in the morning shone through the window and into Lei Lute's room.

Leiter ended his meditation, went to the mirror in high spirits, straightened his hair, went through the process and oaths of today's ceremony in his mind, had a simple breakfast, and left the Lion Heart Hotel.

Palace Square.

At this time, solemn ritual music was being played, a song called Glory, which was rarely played in the palace. Because this piece of music will only be played during the knighting or promotion ceremony.

Leiter entered through the gate, with a line of solemn knights standing on both sides. They notified him in advance and let him go after a brief search. Despite this, Leiter also temporarily placed the space ring at the Lion Heart Hotel in advance. Fortunately, he had conducted a real simulation in advance and confirmed that the privacy measures at the Lion Heart Hotel were in place and that his belongings had not been stolen.

Taking the first step into the palace, Leiter stepped on the exquisite and bright red carpet.

At this moment, in front of the square, there were a group of royal knights, ceremonial groups and other people in luxurious attire waiting. Amidst the rhythmic ritual music, Leiter appeared in front of him with bright eyes. With his chest raised and his abdomen in check, Leiter stepped forward to communicate with a dignified appearance. He received an enthusiastic response from a middle-aged man with brown curly hair:

"Earl Leiter, first of all, I wish you the best of luck in receiving the title of Marquis. I hope that today's elevation ceremony will go well.

Leave the rest to us, we will be responsible for setting off the momentum around you, and you can just walk along this red carpet all the way to the palace. "

Leiter nodded: "Thank you!"

"To be honest, I haven't participated in a promotion ceremony for many years, and I will retire in a few years. My biggest wish is to participate in such a solemn ceremony again before retirement. I miss it very much. So... thank you very much. ”

"Really? I'm honored. But actually we should all thank King Jinlun!" Leiter shrugged and smiled.

"That makes sense, thank you King Jinlun."

Leiter waited in front of the square gate for more than half an hour. During this period, he had a calm demeanor and waited in front of the knights.

Accompanied by the replay of the Glory music and the gestures of the Knights and Ceremonial Orders, Leiter took the first step in the ceremony.

With even steps, he quickly entered the palace.

The largest number of people gathered in the palace. All the nobles and royal family members gathered here. Almost all the prominent figures in the kingdom were present. The prominent people here refer to the nobles above the earl. They are the guardians of all parties and the kingdom. Only important forces are qualified to enter.

They sat on both sides of the red carpet and watched Leiter bend his elbow with his left hand and lower his right hand as he walked towards the end of the red carpet, the solemn and solemn King of Jinlun - Milan.

On such a serious occasion, there was no whispering or whispering. Hogus and his brothers and sisters stood at the front of the crowd and looked at Leiter with different eyes as he passed through them.

Milan held a long sword, looked at Lei Te's arrival, raised the corners of his mouth, held a book in one hand, and began to read a long speech.

When the reading for more than an hour ended.

Leiter knew it was his turn, so he began to recite the oath: "Be fearless in the face of powerful enemies; be courageous and loyal, worthy of your honor; speak uprightly, and would rather die than surrender; protect the weak, no wonder..."

The oath only lasted a few minutes.

As the powerful words fell, there was thunderous applause from below, echoing throughout the palace.

The smile on the King of Milan's face was even greater. He tapped Leiter's shoulder with the long sword in his hand and gave it a light blow, implying that he had accepted the declaration and demonstrated his authority.

Then, someone next to him handed Milan branches and soil.

Milan put away the sword, took it with both hands, and then handed it to Leiter: "Your achievements have fully proved yourself, Jin Lun is with you. I canonize you as Marquis Leiter Green, and from now on guard the southwest border... "

Leiter held his chest and bowed, solemnly speechless, and then took the branches and soil with his hands. This step symbolized that he had obtained a new fiefdom and higher rights.

Then, another half hour passed, and a row of mixed male and female knights behind the king sang a hymn.

The hymn is called Bolay's Song, which is melodious and light, easing the serious atmosphere.

This is the entire knighting process in the Jinlun Kingdom.

When the ceremony ended, it was almost noon.

The king was the first to leave and went upstairs, before other nobles dared to move and talk.

"Leiter, congratulations." Hogus walked forward with a smile and patted Leiter on the shoulder.

"No matter what, I also want to thank Prince Hogus for his help." Leiter smiled modestly.

"Marquis Leiter, I heard that you performed well on the canyon defense line before?"

At this time, a tall man came over with a calm expression.

Leiter had learned about it in advance. He was the eldest prince of the royal family. He had the strength of a Sky Knight and held an important position in the cold defense line.

He maintained a standard smile and responded: "Prince Wilkin, it's not that I'm outstanding, it's that the sergeants on the canyon defense line are all outstanding."

"But there are always people who are better. I hope that I will have the opportunity to see your outstanding performance at the Cold Current Defense Line in the future." The eldest prince forced a smile.

"Be fearless in the face of powerful enemies." Leiter responded with the same oath he had just given.

But Wilkin's expression did not change at all, and after a brief chat, he left the palace.

"Don't worry, that's just how Wilkin is. Maybe the battle at the Cold Current Defense Line is too tense, and he doesn't have enough energy to communicate well with others." Hogus looked at the back of the eldest prince, then looked at Leiter, and shrugged.

"Well, it's okay, but is the situation on the cold front really tense?" Lei Te asked casually. He was actually very curious about how many Asian dragons had been extinct.

"Yes, the situation on the cold front is not optimistic. You should have heard of Master Isad. He always insisted on refining the dragon-killing poison, which led to the Asian dragons' counterattack being particularly crazy and the war escalating. So far, basically, except for the strong men in the Holy Land who rarely go out, the Sky Knights often participate in fierce battles..." Hogus frowned unconsciously when he said this.

"It seems that the situation on the cold front is really serious. I hope the Blood God Cult Leader will not sabotage it..." Lei Te thought on the spot. Soon, other nobles came over and took the opportunity to talk to Lei Te, and Lei Te also responded skillfully and freely to deal with the situation in front of him.

Next, Lei Te socialized in the palace for more than two hours, and had friendly exchanges with dozens of nobles from all over the Kingdom of Jinlun, which was considered a preliminary acquaintance.

Until the afternoon, Lei Te felt that he had basically talked to all the nobles in the field, and then he found an opportunity to leave the palace.

Then he left the royal city without stopping and set out on the journey back to the territory.

When he was on the coast of East Blue, Huoge successfully broke through to the first-level magic beast, and his speed increased greatly. Therefore, it took less than a month to reach the destination.

Lei Te sat behind Huoge, and the Dark Eagle branch stretched and undulated.

Seeing the familiar scene, thinking that his family was waiting for him in Green Manor, Lei Te smiled comfortably, but he was not in a hurry to return.

Instead, he rushed to the Dark Eagle's nest-Lonely Peak as soon as possible, because the conversation with Prince Virgin and Prince Hogus in Luna Palace reminded him that it had been almost two years since the cooperation with Isad, and he needed to understand the current scale of the Dark Eagle.

The autumn wind was bleak, and many trees in the Dark Eagle branch were dyed golden, adding a bit of aesthetic atmosphere to the mountains and forests.

At the foot of the Lonely Peak, Wodelg leaned against a huge rock and surrounded a simple oven with stones. Hard branches were placed on both sides, wearing several thick magic beast legs, roasting in the blazing flames.

The shiny animal legs made crackling sounds from time to time, emitting an alluring aroma. Wodlage rubbed his fingers and evenly sprinkled the fragrant seasoning powder on them, looking very satisfied.

Suddenly, he looked up and saw a small black dot approaching rapidly in the distant sky, gradually turning into a beautiful fiery red figure.

"Hey, Rhett! Long time no see, you've been out for a long time this time, I feel like we haven't seen each other for more than half a year!" Wodlage stood up, one hand on his waist, and the other hand waved to the sky. His beard was particularly thick and looked like it hadn't been taken care of for a long time.

Huh~~

Huogl's landing brought a gust of wind, and the barbecue flames were almost extinguished.

"Haha, Wodlage, it's been a long time!" Rhett turned over and landed, looking up at the lonely peak, vaguely seeing more than 20 dark-striped eagles circling and flying around, half of which were young birds.

"You made quite a fuss when you went out this time. I'm afraid the whole kingdom knows about your promotion to marquis!" Wodlage said, "Can you tell me? What did you do to achieve such a great contribution?"

Rhett spread his hands, remained silent, and responded with actions.

Wodlage shrugged and said, "Well, it seems to be very important. It doesn't matter if I don't tell you."

Then he looked up at the lonely peak, and couldn't help showing a hint of joy, and changed the subject and said, "Rhett, guess how many dark-striped eagles we have?"

"Thirty-seven?"

"Yes, in addition, there are nine dark-striped eagle eggs." Wodlage said, "Although this number still seems insignificant, they are reproduced from just a dozen or so, and the speed will only get faster and faster in the future."

"Are there enough aphrodisiac potions?" Rhett nodded and asked a key question. Since the initial cooperation with Master Isad, Wodlage has been mainly responsible for the care of the dark-striped eagles, and the aphrodisiac potions at the time have basically been handed over to the other party. The potion played an important role in promoting the growth of the dark-striped eagle group so quickly.

"Well, a small half of the potion has been consumed. But as the scale of the dark-striped eagles expands, the consumption rate of the potion will definitely increase accordingly. I estimate that it will be good to last for two years. Maybe only more than a year." Wodelg thought.

"I understand." Lei Te nodded and said carefully: "All this should be in Master Isad's plan. He must have estimated the consumption of potions and the growth rate of the eagle group. Maybe when the potion runs out, the other party will come again."

"That makes sense. By that time, the scale of the eagle group should be over 100." Wodelg stroked his beard and said.

"Well, in a few years, it will be restored to its former glory. So I will trouble you to continue to worry about it next." Lei Te looked at the dark-striped eagle group in the sky again and said in a low voice.

It is difficult to expect to eliminate the Asian dragons by force in the short term, and there is no guarantee of victory in the long run. But as long as the strategy of killing the poison is implemented, then unless the Asian dragons run to the rear of the orcs and hide, they will not come out. Otherwise, the extermination of the race is a matter of time.

It must be said that there are too many ways of war. Even if military force cannot destroy you, it does not mean that there is nothing they can do to you. Targeting your race, cutting off your offspring, and destroying the hope of the continuation of your race, will ultimately lead to the same end.

Leiter sighed, thinking of some things in his homeland on Blue Star, and left with a sigh and a shake of his head.

On the wide graystone road.

Sveta stood at the door of Green Manor. He heard that the master attended the knighthood promotion ceremony more than half a month ago, which attracted much attention. Then after this, the possibility of return becomes much greater.

So for more than half a month, almost every time he had nothing to do, he walked at the entrance of Green Manor, hoping to welcome the master back as soon as possible.

Sveta had been waiting for a long time today. She felt a little bored while pacing, and the thoughts in her mind were wandering unconsciously.

"Unexpectedly, I am now a marquis butler. Think about it when I was a child, my father said that if he had any hope of becoming a viscount butler in this life, he would be satisfied. If he knew that the head of the Green family was already a marquis, he would definitely be surprised. It's incredible." Thinking of this, Sveta smiled and at the same time, a trace of nostalgia flashed in her eyes.

"Chirp!"

The hawk's cry in the sky is like a rapid ringing.

Sveta raised her head almost reflexively. All the thoughts in her mind disappeared in an instant, and surprise suddenly appeared on her face.

Huo Ge's current physical body and his wings spread out more vigorously. When Sveta stretched out her arms, she was unprepared and was blown into the sky by a huge air current.

"Oh, my hat!" Sveta was startled and stretched out her hand to reach the gray fur hat that was more than one meter away from his head.

Suddenly, there was a blue smoke composed of wind elements, and with a slight push, the hat fell straight down.

"Thank you, Master!" Sveta knew it was the Master who took action, put the hat back on her head, and thanked him.

"Sveta, this hat is very dignified and handsome, and it looks brand new. Did Scarlett sew it for you?" Leiter said with a smile.

"Master, it wasn't Scarlett, it was Maru who did it for me."

"Maru? She still has this skill? I thought sewing scarves was her limit." Leiter said in surprise.

"Yes, I was surprised at first, but it turns out that Maru's craftsmanship is not even inferior to Scarlett's."

Leiter said as he walked into the manor: "How are you and Maru getting on?"

Sveta followed closely behind Leiter and replied hesitantly: "There must be some good progress..."

"Really? I hope you will get married soon, and I will be your witness."

"Thank you, sir, but it was too long ago."

"Don't say that. Who can say anything about love accurately?" Leiter smiled softly. He had not forgotten the simulation on the East Blue Coast. Sveta and Maru would achieve success in one year. Time flies. Not long ago.

While the two were chatting, Leiter walked to the middle of the stone path, not far from the Dark Rock Castle.

But at this moment, he glanced to the left, under a broad umbrella-like phoenix tree. Mycroft just left the auxiliary fort and passed by the shade of the tree.

"Leiter? You are finally willing to come back. How does it feel to become a Marquis?" Mycroft said with a smile.

Leiter paused and looked at Mycroft jokingly: "My feelings haven't changed at all. There are no more or less important people around me. But you seem to be in a good mood. Did you meet some happy event?"

He spoke in the tone of an old friend, a little casually, pretending not to know that Mycroft was married, but then Sveta leaned into Leiter's ear and whispered: "Master, during the days when you left, Mr. Mycroft and Miss Vicky held their wedding."

"What?" Leiter seemed surprised. He glanced at Sveta and then at Mycroft: "Are you married?"

"Otherwise? Your butler will not lie to you."

Leiter was stunned, and then he spread his hands helplessly: "Well, now it seems that it's time for me to congratulate you - happy wedding.

Although the blessing came a little late, it was full of sincerity. "

Mycroft was very worried about this matter and did not intend to let him go so easily. He crossed his arms and said, "Humph, Leiter, you missed my wedding. My best friend in my life was not present. What a pity this would be!”

"Okay, this is my fault. To compensate you, I will pay for all your purchases at the Nightingale Tavern from now on. How about that?" Leiter spread his hands and smiled helplessly, but he believed in his heart that it was nothing. There is more to attract Mycroft than this condition.

However, the expected satisfaction did not appear. Instead, Mycroft said seriously: "Do you think I am a heavy drinker? The free coupon for the Nightingale Tavern does not appeal to me at all."

"Tsk, who was so infatuated with the neon vortex that he wanted to drink a hundred cups a day?" Leiter said jokingly: "I don't know where you are, but even the Nightingale Tavern doesn't like it. But. All in all, I did something wrong this time. If you have any other requests, you can just ask them and I will try my best to satisfy you."

"Is this true?"

"certainly."

"Then I'll tell you." Mycroft coughed twice and said, "Well, a new Rattlesnake Tavern opened in Dark Eagle City last month. The owner has several outstanding bartenders. I tasted it. , every one of them is no less than the rum in Nightingale Tavern.”

"So you want to exchange the free tickets from the Nightingale Tavern for the free tickets from the Rattlesnake Tavern?" Leiter narrowed his eyes slightly, raised his voice, and looked at Mycroft angrily and amusedly.

"No."

"Then what do you want?" Leiter said in surprise.

"Want both!"

"."

Leiter stroked his forehead gently, and the black lines on his forehead floated, and said helplessly: "If you drink like this, will Vicky agree?"

"Of course she won't agree." Mycroft said with a smile: "She will only blame me for not taking her with me!

And the Rattlesnake Tavern is not cheap. Even for me, it is a bit difficult to drink as much as I want. "

"Well, it's my bad luck. You two are really different! I promise you that the consumption in the two taverns will be free in the future. But if you deliberately cheat me, don't blame me for not admitting it!" Rhett showed a look of pain, but in fact, he was not upset at all. He could still afford the wine money.

But then he looked thoughtful and asked: "But then again, the Rattlesnake Tavern, this name sounds very familiar, I should have heard of it somewhere before..."

At this time, the thoughtful Sveta spoke again: "Master, I haven't had time to report this to you. She calls herself Lilith. She came to Dark Eagle City in July this year and came to visit you, but left when she heard that you were not there. Before leaving, she left a message: It was too hard to find you, but thank you for saving my life."

"Saving your life? Still looking for you hard? "Mycroft keenly sensed something was wrong and looked at Rhett suspiciously, "Could it be that you were flirting with other people outside and seduced someone's heart? If so, I was wrong about you..."

"What are you thinking? That's not true!" Rhett rolled his eyes helplessly.

Then he briefly explained his experience of passing through the White Pumpkin City when he went to the Kingdom of Rhium to subdue the Sand Elves.

"Ha, that's it!" Mycroft laughed and touched Rhett with his elbow, "In that case, next time I go to the Rattlesnake Tavern, I will report your name, maybe I can get special treatment!"

"How is that possible? I don't have that much face." Rhett shook his head and said, "Anyway, I will find a time to go to the Rattlesnake Tavern and say hello."

Mycroft smiled and said, "I'll wait for your good news. Now I'm going to the training ground first. The little girl Eunice arrived very early, and I guess she will be waiting anxiously! "

Rhett nodded and said goodbye to Mycroft.

All the way back to Dark Rock Castle.

All the servants who were close to him greeted and warmly welcomed the return of their master. Rhett understood their feelings and responded with a standard smile.

Walking up the stairs to the lobby on the fifth floor, Rhett sat on the bench in front of the fireplace and found the feeling of being home. He slowly said, "Sveta, how was the situation in the leadership during my absence?"

Following Rhett upstairs, Sveta, who was well prepared, bowed and replied, "Master, you have been away for six months and twenty-four days. The most important thing during this period is that a member of the Ring Tower visited you and left a letter and a sealed package.

In addition, Mog and Baig have both broken through to the first-level magic beast, and Thales's ice rat has broken through to the second-level magic beast.

And the lady named Lilith who I just told you came to visit you. "

"Things sent by the members of the Ring Tower?" Rhett said thoughtfully as if he didn't know, "Where are the things?"

"I put them in your room. ”

“Then I will go and see it later. Is there anything else in the meantime?”

Sveta was silent for a while, and after considering the words, she said: “There is one more thing, which should not be considered important, but I think I should tell the master.”

“Please tell me what it is.”

“It is Lawrence. He broke up with Unica and then walked together with Ola, and Unica seems to have established a relationship with Armando.” Sveta shook her head helplessly and said: “Alas, they are really a group of passionate young people, but that surging blood is always difficult to maintain a solid shape.”

Three-in-one
