Chapter 289 Paving the Way
The celebration dinner reached its climax with the birth of the new Earl of Wushan Territory.
Amidst the cheers and applause, Roning took the golden medal and the canonization book that symbolized the title handed over by Lulans.
In an instant, two lines of text appeared in his sight:
["Famous all over the world" achievement achieved, attribute points +500, energy essence +1000]
[Monthly sign-in mechanism updated, reward multiplier +2]
["Attack the city and seize the territory" achievement achieved, attribute points +200, energy essence +400]
Roning was delighted.
Achievements and sign-in mechanisms are related to the level of the title. Now that he has become an earl, the effect is naturally triggered.
Now Roning can get 417 attribute points and 345 energy essence every month. Without counting the attribute points obtained through achievements, he only needs one year to cross the sixth level.
If other achievements are completed during this period, this time will be further shortened.
Lulans patted Ronin on the shoulder and encouraged him.
The canonization was not over, but compared with the canonization, the process of canonization of honorary knights was much simpler, not so formal and grand.
However, this was still an important moment for those who crossed the class threshold and rose from commoners to the lowest noble honorary knights.
Although there was no territory, this step was a step that many professional knights could not cross in their lifetime.
The six honorary knights excitedly shouted their oaths of loyalty to Wushan Fort and kissed their medals.
After doing all this, Lulans picked up the wine glass and drank a glass with everyone before leaving the banquet hall, leaving the celebration to this group of young people.
"Haha, congratulations, Lord Earl!" Marvin was the first to come over to send his blessings.
Ronin smiled and said, "Uncle Marvin, just call me Ronin."
Marvin raised his glass and sighed, "I still remember the scene when you bought a horse at my ranch, but I didn't expect you to become an earl so quickly from a baron!"
"This is a legendary story that can be written into a knight's novel by a bard!"
Many people gathered around and congratulated him.
While expressing his gratitude, Ronin also sent his blessings to the nobles and knights who were canonized today.
The atmosphere in the hall was lively, but not everyone was happy under their smiles, and some people felt uncomfortable.
For example, Viscount Dennis of the Pointed City.
When fighting against the Polante Thieves, the silver-level Viscount Vitorino was considered among the top combat forces.
But later, Viscount Vitorino did not participate in the war because of some things, and only sent a team of knights and soldiers.
He should have personally participated in the war to eliminate the Polante Thieves, but he did not participate because of some things.
As he held the cup and congratulated Phillip and other silver knights who were promoted to barons, he wondered if he could get rich rewards if he participated in the war.
Although it was impossible to be promoted to a knight, could he get a piece of land like Marvin?
After all, there were many villages next to the shore city.
However, regretting this kind of thing was obviously useless, and he could only envy it.
Except for Viscount Vitorino, the representatives of the Hyde family were naturally unhappy.
Those who were canonized this time were basically from the southwest battlefield. Except for Melonica, no one on the southeast front was promoted to honorary knight, let alone land.
The two newly captured pieces of land in Wushan Castle may have to be taken care of by themselves, but considering the long-term harassment of the Black Gold Brotherhood, Wiggins estimated that he would not put much effort into the two baronies.
There are two main reasons for the huge gap in canonization between the two sides.
On the one hand, the southeast's record is indeed not as good as the southwest. The Black Gold Brotherhood mainly coordinated this time. Facing Melonica's lead attack, it fled to Black Pine Ridge without much resistance;
On the other hand, Lu Lans deliberately arranged it this way.
The victory on the southwest front was mainly due to Roning. These people were awarded honorary knights and titles, and they basically knew that this was due to Roning, and they must be grateful to Roning psychologically.
With this relationship, people like Philip and Thorstein are likely to become Roning's unwavering supporters in the future.
Lulans set up the two's territories in Kasir Town and Sari Town, which are close to Chishan Town, and actually had this consideration.
At the same time, such an enthronement also let people know that following Roning is beneficial.
The banquet in the hall was still going on lively, and the performance team invited in was performing lively programs.
Some people toasted each other in the melodious music, some went outside to exchange ideas, and some people wandered on the dance floor with the help of dance music.
In a corner of the hall, Irene looked at Roning, who was talking happily with many nobles, with envy in her eyes.
"Hey, little beauty, don't you want to dance with me?"
McKinney came to sit aside and picked up the wine glass to drink with Irene, but found that the latter was holding juice.
"Don't drink?"
Irene shook her head embarrassedly, "Ronin... The adults said that I'm still young and drinking will affect my development."
After hearing this, McKinney couldn't help laughing out loud.
"My brother would actually say such a thing?"
She looked Irene up and down and joked, "You've developed well, don't worry."
Irene blushed and didn't know how to answer, but she understood the identity of this mature woman.
"Are you Lord Ronin's sister?"
"Of course, my sister!"
McKinney looked at Ronin in the crowd, and his tone suddenly seemed a little lost:
"Maybe our mother and grandfather died early, and Ronin never lived in Surrey Town. Otherwise, he should have taken his mother's hometown into his territory."
The Surrey Town that has been occupied by the Polante Bandits is the territory of Amos Surrey, the grandfather of Ronin and McKinney. This time it has returned to the embrace of Wushan Territory.
However, Surrey Town has been abandoned for many years. There are not many people and no special resources. Ronin did not ask too much.
She sighed, "I should have let Kabir follow Ronin this time and let Viscount Marvin go to the southeast. In this way, Kabir may be promoted to a nobleman, and I can live in Surrey Town."
Kabir is in charge of Brilliant City and has a lot of wealth.
But like Toru, he was born in a humble family. He gradually got better after McKinney married him, but he is only an honorary knight and has not become a baron.
This time, I really lost an opportunity.
Irene comforted him, "Now that the town of Surrey has been taken back from the Portland Bandits, I think you should be able to go back there anytime with your identity."
McKinney nodded slightly. She thought that the girl who came out of the mountains was a little timid. After communicating with her, she found that although she was a little shy, she was not like many children from civilian families who were hesitant and unable to speak.
"Yes, this time thanks to Roning, I didn't expect him to grow up so fast!"
McKinney looked at Roning in the crowd and suddenly felt that her brother had become so tall and handsome without knowing when.
She couldn't help but look forward to it: "He has become the backbone of the Wushan family! I believe that in the near future, if he successfully marries Princess Blanche, the Wushan family will usher in glory again!"
Irene was stunned for a moment and asked subconsciously: "Marry Princess Blanche?"
"Don't you know?" McKinney was puzzled.
The people in Wubei Territory heard that Roning rescued Princess Blanche when he was promoted to Viscount, but they didn't know that the two had a marriage.
"That's right. If things are not confirmed, Roning will not talk about it."
McKinney nodded slowly: "But in my opinion, there should be no changes in this matter."
Erin's face suddenly became a little unnatural. (End of this chapter)
