Chapter 88 85. Appointment letter and luncheon
The last month of the year is always given different meanings by different races. In most areas in the north of Human Race, it will start to snow around December 1st. The snow season on Gallop Plains is earlier, around late November.
Snow will also fall in other areas around December 10th at the latest, so the kingdoms and regions in the northern part of the human empire will generally hold celebrations on December 1st to celebrate the last month of the year, hoping for heavy snowfall at the end of the year and a good harvest in the fields in the coming year.
The celebration that Count mentioned a few days ago was finally held at Rothe Castle instead of Blue Magpie Castle. Count ultimately did not want the Gallop flag to reappear under Blue Magpie City.
On the morning of December 1, Count Bristle-Wolf brought a group of vassals to Viscount Rothe's Territory, awarded Lan a formal title, and inspected Landen's army.
Along with Count came several Viscount and Baron. Most of these nobles were on the account that Landen found. We have already placed a deposit for Black-Scaled Horse and Iron Armor, and now we come with the contract hoping that Landen can abide by the agreement made by Viscount Rothe.
There are also Ascetic Monk Light·Duolaina with Paladin Bert·Kaul, Antrechi·Blue Dragon with Gleia·Blue Dragon and other guests.
"In the name of God Emperor His Majesty and Dragon Kingdom Dusen·White-Owl His Majesty, through the Kingdom Northwest Count Suggestion of Kempins·Bristle-Wolf, and resolution by the Kingdom Nobility Council, approved by Empire Supreme Council of the Divine, now agrees with original Viscount Rothe The nephew of Bob·Rothe, the fourth son of Hark·Baron Gallop, Landen·Gallop of Intermediate Knight level inherits the title of Viscount Rothe."
Witnessed by a crowd of nobles and guests, Count read out the letter of appointment and dismissal to Landen in person.
"Thank you Mr. Count, I..."
"Don't rush to pledge your allegiance yet, Landen" Count smiled, "The title of Viscount is definitely yours, but before you can officially inherit it, you need to pass the assessment of the empire Knight"
According to the tradition of Knight and the nobility regulations of the Kingdom, only after becoming Junior Knight or Junior Mage can one be appointed or dismissed from the formal title.
"Take this." Count handed Landen a letter, "This is Knight School from Blue Dragon City. There are training, assessment and recognition qualifications from junior to Senior Knight. You are already Intermediate Knight. You only need to pass the corresponding assessment to get the magic badge of Knight."
"Let us congratulate Landen·Gallop, our Northwest Territory heroes who fought against the Gray Goose invasion, the future Viscount Rothe. Lord McLaren said that as long as you obtain the Knight qualification, he is willing to recommend you as Court Viscount of His Majesty."
"Oh, Court Viscount"
"Yes" "That all belongs to the ministers around His Majesty"
Amidst the applause, the simple appointment and dismissal ceremony was over. Because Landen was still Reserve Knight in the official Mana-Wielder record of the Kingdom, so he could only get the appointment and dismissal letter, but could not officially act in the name of Viscount Rothe.
Fortunately, representatives of Count, Blue Dragon Family and Holy See all saw Landen defeat Senior Knight level Head Goose head-on. No one will question the level of Landen, so the remaining work is only for Landen to get the Knight badge, and then it can officially become Viscount.
After the appointment and dismissal, there was a luncheon. The Lot Castle itself was spacious and bright, and it did not seem crowded when it welcomed so many nobles. Lant also built a huge tent in front of the main castle in advance, which was used as a buffet and rest area for the accompanying non-magicians and knights.
Since the Magic Beast Meat inventory and grain inventory in Rothe Castle itself had been severely depleted, Landen had to send multiple hunting teams to hunt in the Gallop River and Great Forest within two days to replenish meat varieties.
Landen's level of concern for the banquet even surprised Hark. In Hark's opinion, both Count and the vassals knew Rothe Territory has just escaped from the occupation of Barbarian and has nothing. In this case, when Count arrives, he should even bring some Magic Beast Meat and food to help Landen tide over the difficulties.
However, Landen does not think that Count can bring his own meat, pots, seasonings, cooks and tableware. After all, Northwest Territory does not have a family that specializes in hosting banquets.
After three days of hard work, Kuryagan finally made a few small iron pots with handles. Now Landen, who is over two meters tall, can finally start cooking.
When he was studying and working outside in his previous life, Landen often cooked for himself. Now after two months of drifting on Grassland, he can finally cook for himself again. Landen's inner happiness immediately improved.
Count Bristle-Wolf arrived at about 9 o'clock with his vassals. When he saw Rothe Castle's next large tent camp, infinite greed arose in his heart. After all, it was 4,000 Territory Residents and 600 Mana-Wielder, in terms of quantity alone, has exceeded the scale of Territory Residents and Knight directly under Count, and is only slightly smaller than the scale of the entire Bristle-Wolf Family.
Old Bristle-Wolf There is a 17-year-old who inspired Mana-Wielder Bloodline's daughter is sweet and lovely, with a courageous and strong personality. She is also a famous girl in Blue Dragon City's aristocratic school. He even began to think about whether to give his little daughter to Landen, but just as Count thought of his daughter, he saw the 3-meter-tall Gleia in the team behind him.
No matter how strong Bristle-Wolf is, he can't defeat a dragon. After Count figured it out, he no longer considered forcing Landen to get married.
Although the old maned wolf was stingy, he tried his best to take care of and balance his subordinates. Considering that Lant had only been stationed in Roth Castle for five days, the earl really brought a large amount of Warcraft meat, grains, seasonings, cooks and tableware.
After all, in the eyes of Count and most of the guests, the only dishes available in the Landen camp are barbecue and stew. What kind of world can a fourth son of Baron have seen and what delicious food has he eaten?
So Count and the vassals saw the table full of Dried Fruit Mixed Vegetables, Tree Mushroom Stir-fry Wild Vegetables, River Shrimp Goose Egg Custard, Wood Ear Stir-fry Steel-Bristle Pork, Salt and Pepper Fried River Shrimp, Herb-Roasted Water Arrow Fish, Potato Stewed Pack Beast Meat Nan, Mushroom Steel-Bristle Pig Trotter Bean Soup, and Magic Beast Meat brought by Count are the main dishes, and the dessert is Honey Goose Egg Roll.
"Landen, you really surprised me. Although these ingredients are not uncommon, but they can be combined like this, it is really... very delicious, especially when you have just arrived Rothe for only a few days." In order to show that he was not here just to have a meal, Count had to taste a few bites of each dish before starting to praise it.
"Thank you, Lord Count, for your affirmation." Landen, as the owner of the castle, sat together with Count, the most important guest, and the two held cups to express their gratitude.
It is a pity that Lord Count's comments did not win the support of any other nobles, including Landen's father and several brothers, because their mouths were full of food, and it would be extremely rude to speak. Therefore, throughout the lunch, only the sound of chewing accompanied the low chatter of Landen and Count.
