Pioneering

Chapter 59
In the resplendent meeting hall, Zhong Ming played the photo stone Nerelton, Karin, the death of the doppelganger, and the destruction images of all Huster family's blood and in-law families.

After the verification and review by Minister of Intelligence Beryl, Grand Duke Ansos immediately announced:

"The Schuster family colluded with monsters to plot other people's territories, massacred nobles wantonly, violated the honor of nobles, and disrupted the order of the principality, the crime deserves to be punished!

Today there is Ming Zhong, a nobleman from the Far East, who is both wise and brave, helping the principality to eradicate rebellion and safeguard the sacred kingship.All titles and territories of the Schuster family and relatives are now deprived, and Ming Zhong is transferred to the new earl of Devonshire (formerly Earl of Schist).

The canonization ceremony begins now! "

Zhong Ming stepped forward excitedly, bent his left knee, knelt down on one knee, and handed over the task book to Grand Duke Ansos with both hands.

Grand Duke Ansos smiled, took the task book gently, put it on the throne, and stretched out his hands to support Zhong Ming.

"Lord Ming, it's not yet the sword awarding ceremony, so there's no need to salute like this."

Zhong Ming stood up, lowered his head slightly, and said with emotion, "My lord, I'm just too excited.

You also know how rare it is for a homeless wandering knight to be honored with a piece of territory.What's more, what about the same counties as my father? "

Grand Duke Anthos looked at Zhong Ming's demeanor of vicissitudes, and the slightest fear in Zhong Ming's heart of Zhong Ming's ability to turn his hand into clouds and turn his hands into rain in the collapse of the Shuster family also dissipated.

The young man in front of him is likely to be his future son-in-law, the future heir of the principality, what is there to be afraid of?

"It's not easy for Lord Ming. The feeling of being away from home must be extremely difficult." Grand Duke Anthos patted Zhong Ming's shoulder to show encouragement and comfort, and said, "From now on, the Principality of Andreia will be Your home, let the past be the past~"

"Grand Duke!"

Zhong Ming grabbed Grand Duke Ansos's hand excitedly, his gratitude was beyond words, and said: "Ming has been wandering for half his life, and I only wish I hadn't met the Grand Duke sooner. I am lucky to meet you today. It is really like the rain on the long-drought land."

"Good! Good! Good!"

It was such a happy atmosphere, all the "Hands of the King" and "Court Wizards" present applauded to congratulate the Principality for another good minister and general.

Even Lord Condela forced a smile on the surface and applauded congratulations. As for what he thought of this enemy who killed his daughter with his own hands in secret, it was hard to say.

The birth and canonization of a feudal noble are often cumbersome ceremonies, not simply promulgating official documents.

First of all, the night before, the person waiting for the seal will take a bath.

During the most powerful period of the Fengshen Church, every entrusted nobleman had to bathe and change his clothes on this night, put on a white shirt and a green robe, go to the Royal Cathedral, put his weapons and armor on the altar, and then be honored. The sealer worships and prays all night.

The white shirt means purity, and the green robe means fighting for the crown of Fengshen.

At dawn, the archbishop or priest will come to preside over the blessing ceremony for the recipient, and pray for the weapons and armor on the altar, wishing that the recipient will be invincible under the glory of the wind god's crown.

However, now that the influence of the Fengshen Church in the Principality of Andreia has greatly declined, the entrusted nobles can already choose whether to accept these prelude ceremonies according to their beliefs.

As a quasi-big nobleman who is both a knight and a wizard, Zhong Ming decided not to go to the Fengshen Church to show his presence.

So after bathing and burning incense, Zhong Ming had completed the prelude ceremony, and only waited for the most core ceremony of bestowing swords and giving soil tomorrow.

As a social animal that once didn't even have a place to live on Blue Star, how exciting it would be to suddenly own a piece of land with a size of [-] square kilometers, and it would be completely and completely privately owned. !
Even Zhong Ming, who had experienced a lot of things, was still so excited that he couldn't fall asleep for a long time, and he didn't know when he fell asleep under the tiredness of working around for days.

The love of the people of Long Kingdom for the land is beyond imagination.

"Bang bang~"

A light knock on the door came from outside Zhong Ming's room, interrupting his restless sleep.

Time is up.

Under the guidance of the court eunuch, Zhong Ming came to a high platform in the inner city.

This high platform will only be used when canonizing big nobles, and it is not needed when canonizing small and medium nobles.

This high platform is about five dimensional (4.5 meters) high, and it is made of marble-like bricks engraved with various knights who killed their enemies in blood. The Grand Duke Ansos stood on the top of the high platform and looked at Zhong Ming from afar.

At this time, three sides around the high platform were already filled with figures of noble children, men and women, old and young, all wearing gorgeous dresses, looking solemnly at Zhong Ming who was walking quickly.

Zhong Ming took a deep breath, straightened his sleeves, and stepped up the stone steps from the side where no nobles surrounded him.

"My lord, I'm late." Zhong Ming bowed slightly and bowed his head in apology.

Grand Duke Ansos smiled and said, "No, no, you came just in time. We couldn't wait to witness the birth of a new earl, and we came a little early."

"So, Lord Ming, are you ready?" Grand Duke Ansos asked solemnly with a change of expression.

Zhong Ming was facing the Grand Duke Ansos with his left knee bent and knelt down on one knee, his left palm folded behind his back, his right hand fisted in front of his chest, and he swore loudly:
"I, Ming Zhong, under the witness of the gods, solemnly swear an oath—humility, honor, sacrifice, bravery, mercy, honesty, justice, soul!
Grand Duke Ansos said in a solemn voice: "In the face of a strong enemy, be fearless! Be brave and loyal, worthy of the gods! Loyal and upright, would rather die than surrender! Protect the weak, it is not against the law of heaven! This is your oath, please remember it firmly! "

Zhong Ming then swore:
"I will show mercy to the weak!
I will bravely face the powerful enemy!
I will fight sinners without reservation!
I will fight for those who cannot fight!

I will help those who need my help!

I will not harm women and children!
I will help my knight brothers!

I will be faithful to my friends!
I will treat love sincerely! "

After Zhong Ming read the oath, Grand Duke Ansos turned around and took a long sword with sheath from the altar on the high platform.

Seeing this, Zhong Ming kept kneeling on one knee and clasped his hands.

Grand Duke Ansos held the hilt of the sword in his hand, lightly touched the back of Zhong Ming's neck and shoulders with the back of the sword, and then solemnly placed the sword horizontally in Zhong Ming's hands.

Zhong Ming stood up slowly holding the sword, and put the sheathed long sword on his belt. Grand Duke Ansos even put on the armor and spurs for it himself.

Thus completes the ceremony of conferring nobility, but it is not the end.

Zhong Ming, who was fully armed, once again bowed to Grand Duke Ansos, holding his hands in front of him.

Grand Duke Ansos picked up a branch representing the land from the altar, slowly put it in Zhong Ming's hands, and shouted sharply: "Don't forget your oath!"

After speaking, he gave Zhong Ming a symbolic slap on the neck, then pulled Zhong Ming's right hand that was holding the branch tightly, raised it high, and shouted to the nobles: "From today, Ming Zhong, The new Earl of Devonshire!"

Soil-giving ceremony, done!

　It's really difficult to create Mengxin. As for why Mengxin's fantasy new book is second, and the new book list is fifty or sixty ahead of schedule.In fact, the editor-in-charge asked me to put it on the shelves on the 30th, saying that this book is just like this, and it is impossible to go to Sanjiang and Six Channels.There was no notification one day in advance and no communication, which directly confused me. Why can’t 1500 words be put on the shelf? How can I put it on the shelf without notifying in advance and not saving the manuscript?Doesn't this put me on fire?I just started the third round.In a fit of anger, I deleted the VIP volume and continued to write the public chapter. Can I do it, and you can't decide for me?I can still spend ten days on the new book list, so I don't want 13, I just want to see what the book looks like after four rounds of recommendations. I will be on the shelves on February 1500th or 2th.
