Chapter 466: The Consecration Incident

In the Alduin Hall, Bruno's words completely separated Jesus and his family from the Shaman Clan, and they were just the pure victims.

In fact, Jesus and the entire Moonlight Valley are indeed victims.

Just as he said this, no one talked about the last time Sofia accused Jesus in this hall, and Bruno and Garrett shielded the aliens. This also covered up the fact that the royal family cooperated with the aliens. stain.

In this regard, Wu Shanling, who was one of the parties involved, did not say much, and the others would not even raise any objections.

Next, the officials briefly talked about the cemetery site selection, funeral process and details.

Normally Bruno would just decide this matter directly, but Ferens in the hall is also Jesus' brother, and Varghese is also the father-in-law of the deceased, so they have the right to know.

"This alien invasion has caused Moonlight Valley to experience a devastating disaster from top to bottom. From the earl of the kingdom to the honorary knight, all the nobles were killed! Not only that, it also involved Wave Castle and Undertide City, making this The two viscounties also lost their masters."

When everyone heard this, they all cheered up.

They knew that what they talked about next would be the highlight of today's meeting.

It depends on Bruno's decision whether the royal family will take back all of the territory as large as Moonlight Valley, or divide part of it out.

"Moonlight Valley was originally a relatively prosperous territory, with a population of close to 7.8 million. Although less than 20% remained after this battle, fortunately, the cultivated land is still there. There is a large iron mine and two copper mines in the territory. They are all here. It’s just a matter of time before it can develop again.”

Bruno said, looking at Ronin.

"Now, our kingdom has its first Knight of the Sun. How can a small Waiheke Island be worthy of Ronin's current status?"

Bruno's lips curled up slightly and he smiled: "So I decided to make Ronin the guardian knight of the kingdom and the duke of the kingdom, and make the entire Moonlight Valley his territory!"

After the words fell, everyone in the hall had different expressions.

Brower was secretly surprised. He didn't expect that the former little baron would turn into a duke of the kingdom;

Some people were shocked and displeased. How could a young man under twenty actually want to be on an equal footing with them?

There was also someone with dissatisfaction and hostility in his eyes. This was Crown Prince Garrett.

He was not willing to be defeated by Luo Ning, and he did not want to see the opponent being crowned a duke.

In terms of status, the Duke's weight is no lower than his status as Crown Prince.

But he had no choice. He was just the crown prince and could not refute what his father had decided.

Not to mention how other people were feeling, even Luo Ning didn't expect Bruno to play so big.

He originally thought that the earl had reached the top, but he didn't expect that the other party directly gave it to the duke.

In addition, Bruno also gave him the title of Kingdom Guardian Knight, which also represents a very high honor.

However, besides the gift, Luo Ning also noticed other things.

Knights of the Sun are very rare existences.

If there is no one in the kingdom who can check and balance, it will be difficult to prevent such people from becoming rebellious.

Bruno gave so much, probably because he wanted to deeply bind Ronin and Alduin.

Especially the title of "Guardian Knight of the Kingdom". Once Luo Ning accepts it, as long as he wants to show his respect, he will basically not betray openly.

At this moment, someone finally couldn't help raising objections.

"Isn't this inappropriate?"

The Duke of Ference was the first to stand up and raise objections.

"Luo Ning is indeed very powerful and deserves to be admired and learned by many people, but the position of Duke cannot be completely measured by strength."

He pointed at the three dukes present, "Whether it's me, Varghese, or Andrea, which one has not fought for the kingdom for decades and achieved great military exploits before he obtained the title of duke?"

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Andrea also echoed: "Although Luo Ning saved the face of the royal family and prevented many civilians from dying due to foreign races, I don't think it is appropriate to confer the title of Duke based on this incident alone."

Rulans sneered and said sarcastically: "Andrea, did your position as Duke come in exchange for military exploits? Haha, in terms of military exploits, your position should be mine!"

"Stop joking, Lulans."

Andrea sneered: "You still want to become a duke, why? Because of your disastrous defeat in the Misty City?"

"That doesn't mean you provided false information?"

Lulans's scar was uncovered, and his anger was rising. Fortunately, he was still restrained and did not take action.

"Okay, okay, you two, stop arguing."

Myron from Screaming Island wanted to stand up and interrupt, but was blocked by Rulans.

"There is no place for you to speak here. If you really want to have an opinion, ask your father Alfonso to come over!"

Myron's face turned red with anger, and his tone was full of suppressed anger: "I heard my father say that Marquis Thunder was famous for his bad temper when he was young, and I learned that today."

He spread his hands, sat back in his seat, and closed his mouth knowingly.

There was a brief silence in the hall.

"Ahem~"

Bruno coughed twice to ease the embarrassment, "So Ferens, my brother, according to your opinion, how do you think he should be canonized?"

Ferens's eyes wandered back and forth between Roning and Lulans, his eyes full of contemplation.

After a while, he said: "Roning is strong, but his qualifications are a little weak. If your majesty really wants to confer the title of Duke to the Wushan family, I think it is better to confer the title directly to Lulans, and then restore Roning's inheritance rights, so that the problem can be solved perfectly."

Bruno hesitated, "What about Moonlight Valley?"

"Of course it will be divided into Wushan Territory."

Roning cursed in his heart, the other party was clearly trying to sow discord between him and Lulans.

Imagine, a person who is about to be conferred the title of Duke, suddenly the title fell into the hands of someone else, how would he feel?

To put it another way, although the other party said that he would restore Roning's inheritance rights, when would it be his turn to inherit the title?

After all, Lulans has recovered his health now. According to his Silver Moon-level strength, it is not a problem to live another sixty or seventy years.

If he can break through to the Prideful Sun, his life span will be even longer.

So Roning thought that it was Ferens who was trying to sow discord.

Unfortunately, Roning and Lulans were not ordinary grandfather and grandson.

"Since Duke Ferens felt that the Wushan family was qualified enough to inherit the title of Duke, why bother about who would take on this title?"

Lulans said, "Your Majesty, I am willing to give up the title of Marquis of Wushan Territory, and agree with Duke Ferens' proposal to merge Wushan Territory with Moonlight Valley, and at the same time be canonized as the Duke of the new territory."

As soon as these words came out, Ferens was stunned.

Who among you doesn't want to fight for power and expand your power and influence?

Who doesn't value their identity and title?

Ferens didn't expect Lulans to give up the title of Marquis directly.

Bruno quickly came out to smooth things over: "Marquis Thunder is joking. The empire has been established for nearly a thousand years, and there has never been a case of a nobleman who was still alive giving up the title to his descendants."

Lulans shook his head slightly, "After thirty years of torture, I am no longer interested in this title. What's more, I have an excellent descendant like Ronin, and it is not impossible to hand over the family to him earlier."

Ferens changed the subject, "In short, my opinion is that Ronin is still young and has little experience. In addition, the area of ​​Moonlight Valley is not small. Although Jesus and his family passed away regretfully, according to the right of inheritance, Duke Vargis also has certain powers."

He brought the topic to Vargis, who had been silent, and the old man looked up at the former.

"Vargis, you should also speak. After all, Dana is your daughter and Kent is your grandson. Since they passed away regretfully, this piece of land should have a part of yours."

Everyone looked at the taciturn duke.

Vargis shook his head, "The Gistana family is not interested in the enclave of Moonlight Valley. Your Majesty, whether you give it to Ronin or take back the country, I support your decision!"

Ferens couldn't help but scold Vargis in his heart for being a coward, and he didn't even know how to fight for the benefits.

Andrea suddenly interrupted at this time: "If that's the case, Duke Ferens is the brother of Count Jesus. According to the inheritance law, he also has the right to inherit Moonlight Valley."

He looked at Bruno: "Your Majesty, in this case, it is indeed not appropriate to give the entire Moonlight Valley to Ronin."

Bruno frowned slightly, but couldn't help but nodded. Andrea's words made sense.

In fact, he was very happy to see this debate.

After some thought, Bruno turned his gaze to Ronin, his eyes full of respect and appreciation: "I think we might as well listen to the opinions of the parties involved!" (End of this chapter)
