As a royal housekeeper wearing a hood and with fine wrinkles walked into this small hall, everyone present knew that the ceremony of consecration was about to begin.

According to the habit of the Loen Kingdom, the award of titles is generally only carried out on the New Year and the monarch's birthday, and today is just a party the day before the New Year, and no titles will be granted.

However, due to the smog that caused the deaths of at least 60,000 people, in order to express the royal family's sympathy and sympathy, King George III ordered the cancellation of most of the activities and banquets during the New Year, so even the consecration ceremony was moved to today. .

According to today's arrangement, Rawls and others will participate in the New Year's party with other nobles after they have obtained their titles.

He got up and tidied up his clothes, and fastened the buttons of his tuxedo. Rawls joined the team and followed the royal housekeeper to the canonization site.

……

Thousands of candles gathered together, emitting light and heat, and majestic notes flowed from the strings, keys, and brass, and echoed in the grand hall with the ethereal singing of chant.

The bright red carpet is dotted with golden patterns, and there are seats on both sides with brocade cushions on which sit the nobles of the Loen Kingdom. Because the canonization ceremony was changed to today, and there was a New Year's party after that, they did not wear the noble robes, but they also wore formal clothes.

Among the nobles sitting on the left are Earl Wolfe and Earl Levitt, whom Rawls is more familiar with, as well as Earl Hall, Baron Syndras, Viscount Grelint, Viscount Conrad, etc. In the front row, there is only Duke Philip Negan, the only duke who is not a member of the royal family.

The ceremony of canonizing nobles is different from other occasions. Nobles must be seated according to their titles, not their family strength. This is also a respect for these noble ancestors.

And the nobles on the right are all unfamiliar existences. According to Philip's introduction, these are royal nobles, that is, members of the Augustus family.

At the very front of the middle passage is a platform that is also covered with a bright red carpet. Two middle-aged men in black dresses with solemn and dignified faces stood under the platform, and around the platform were four guards in red military dresses, white trousers, and sashes on their chests.

On the platform, King George III of Loen sits on the throne. He wears the black crown he took from Balam, has a mustache on the corners of his mouth, and has a firm face. He is wearing a formal dress, leaning on a sword in his hand, and his blue eyes are watching Rawls and others who entered the hall. people.

After the royal housekeeper led Rawls and his party to the entrance on the left to wait in line, the singing stopped, and only low-pitched music remained.

The ceremony is about to begin.

Originally, before the official knighthood was officially started, King George III would definitely make some remarks, such as retracing the establishment of the kingdom, recalling the merits and efforts made by the nobles, and celebrating the birth of another group of nobles. This year is the New Year's party to express a blessing or something.

But none of these, George III simply explained that the ceremony was changed to today because of the smog incident, and the award ceremony began.

After all, there are nobles in the hall, and they know a little about the truth of the smog. It also involves a prince, so he doesn't care about George III's hasty speech.

As one of the three viscounts to be appointed tonight, no matter how low-key Rawls is, he will accept the knighthood from George III in the first three.

"Rolls Adrian, in recognition of his contribution to the legal profession, named him Viscount Drian." (Note 1)

While the earl of the palace recited aloud, Rawls tidied up his clothes, took a deep breath and walked under the platform. The whispered conversation of the nobles behind him came into his ears, and he bowed slightly to King George III.

At this time, George III also had a faint smile on his resolute face. He held the ceremonial sword and patted Rawls lightly on the left and right shoulders before saying:

"Good evening, Viscount Drian."

"Good evening, Your Majesty."

"The partnership system you implemented in Adrian's Office is very good. The Hillston Police Department also performed very well after the smog incident. The House of Lords is the highest court in Ruen. Maybe you can become the upper house. Judge of the House of Lords, assisting Sir More. His work has always been very busy, and the House of Lords has few nobles by law."

"Thank you for your suggestion."

Rawls did not respond positively. During the knighthood ceremony, he and the king only talked for tens of seconds. He was worried that the problem would be discovered because of too many conversations, but also because of some changes in him just now.

However, Sir More, in the mouth of George III, is indeed very busy, and he can even be called the busiest senior official in Loen. He is the chief judge of the kingdom, the judicial leader, and the Speaker of the House of Lords. He is responsible for presiding over the House of Lords Parliament. At the same time, he serves as the Minister of Justice in the cabinet.

A new nobleman was canonized in a few minutes, and within an hour, the award ceremony was over.

……

Under the guidance of the royal housekeeper, a group of nobles are going to another palace to attend the New Year's dinner.

As the youngest of the new nobles, Rawls is still the most special one. He didn't care about himself in the remarks of the surrounding nobles, and walked a few steps to Philip who was talking with Earl Hall.

Seeing Rawls coming over, Philip paused for a while and said with a smile:

"Good evening, Viscount Drian."

"..." Rawls shook his head helplessly, and said to Earl Hall beside him:

"Good evening, Earl of East Chester."

Earl Hall looked at the two with a smile in the corners of his eyes:

"Haha, good evening, young jazz, the future is yours, I'm going to see my precious daughter first."

"Well, I have prepared a coming-of-age gift for Audrey, I hope she will be satisfied..."

Although Philip and Hibbert have always been at odds, it was just a competition when he was young. Now that he has inherited the title, he is no longer on the same level as Hibbert, who is still fighting for heir status. What's more, Audrey once rescued Duke Negan, and there is no conflict between the New Party and the Conservative Party now, so giving Audrey a New Year's gift can be regarded as an expression of goodwill.

Earl Hall nodded and walked in the other direction. He was going to the lounge next to the banquet hall, where his daughter Audrey was.

Seeing him leave, Philip and Rawls also walked and chatted, heading for the banquet hall.

"Although you are Viscount Drian now, it does not mean that you can intervene in Drian City. After all, you are not like the Negan family with a history of hundreds of years, and they control two-thirds of the land in Dixi County."

The Duke of Dixie is the title of the title inherited by the Negan family.

Rawls knew what Philip said before. Now, although a new noble like him nominally owns a fief, it is limited to the land he owns, and the title is selected according to the location of the land and the size of the title.

The land owned by Rawls is near the city of Drian, so he was named Viscount Drian.

"As for your fief, you just need to send someone to take over it, and I will arrange it for you. The parliament will not open until March next year. You have enough time to understand the process of the House of Lords parliament..."

……

Dressed up, Audrey was standing in the lounge, waiting for the start of the New Year's party, but from her expression, she could not see the excitement, excitement and joy of the coming of age ceremony.

In front of her is a newspaper that reads:

"...According to preliminary statistics, a total of more than 21,000 people died directly in the smog, and the subsequent spread of the plague took away nearly 40,000 people, including young children, strong young men and women..."

Phew, Audrey couldn't help closing her eyes.

At this moment, her father, Earl Hall, and her mother, Lady Catelyn, knocked on the door, and praised in unison:

"You are more beautiful than everyone tonight, baby, it's time to go out, the queen is waiting for you."

Audrey slowly exhaled, showing an elegant and bright smile. Accompanied by her father and mother, she walked out of the lounge and entered the party hall.

She walked all the way to the high platform at the front, and in a series of astonishing eyes, she handed the Queen's hand wearing elbow-length white gauze gloves.

The queen led her to the edge of the high platform and faced all the guests.

After a short pause, the queen smiled and said:

"Although this is a dark period in Backlund's history, we still have a gem that is enough to illuminate the entire city. Her wisdom, her beauty, her character, and her etiquette are all impeccable.

"Today, I will officially introduce her to you.

"Miss Audrey Hall."

boom! boom! boom!

Outside the floor-to-ceiling windows, fireworks blasted into the sky, blasting dreamy lights one after another.

……

As the newly appointed Duke of Dixie, Philip must join the banquet under the guidance of Prime Minister Agulhid to get to know the cabinet ministers, members of the Conservative Party and many nobles who are not familiar with him.

And other new nobles also gradually integrated into the banquet through the introduction of familiar nobles.

But Rawls didn't follow Philip, nor did he intend to join the banquet. He held a wine glass, looked at the dark night sky outside the window, and watched half a circle of crimson, and gradually felt the changes in the potion in his body.

When George III named him Viscount Drian, he felt that the potion in his body had changed. It was not that the potion of his "chaos tutor" had been further digested, but another kind of potion he had never appeared before. past changes.

The potion can be digested faster by acting, and it can also be digested through the passage of time, but for the level of Sequence 5, it may take decades or even hundreds of years for the will in the potion to be stamped with its own brand.

The change in Rawls is roughly equivalent to the "diver" choosing divination as a profession, and the "lawyer" choosing a lawyer as a profession. The latter has appeared in the predecessor, which can greatly speed up the digestion of potions, so that the digestion time can be shortened by Hundreds of years into ten years.

Therefore, those people adding a suffix to the name of the potion is not Roselle's self-indulgent assertion, but to simply echo the "Dark Emperor", and it is indeed beneficial for the Beyonders to digest the potion in this pathway.

Rawls shook the red wine in the glass and looked at the distorted and blurred faces in the glass. However, Roselle should have such a view after seeing the "Slate of Blasphemy", but some knowledge of a pathway is not a piece of Blasphemy Slate can contain.

"Dark Emperor" Solomon should divide titles according to strength, but he is the true God of the "Lawyer" path, and his will can completely affect the performance of this path. He believes that Sequence 5 "chaos" can be ranked on the same level as Viscount. No., then becoming a Viscount can speed up the performance for the "Teacher of Chaos".

After all, even Amon, who has the uniqueness, can delete the knowledge contained in the potion in this pathway.

And Roselle fell shortly after becoming the "Dark Emperor", and is still confined in the mausoleum, with no time or opportunity to exert influence on this pathway.

But this kind of opportunity can only be enjoyed once... Rawls sighed slightly, it is impossible for him to get another earl title.

"What are you looking at?"

A slightly ethereal and pleasant voice came into his ears, and Rawls turned to look at the owner of the voice. It was a beautiful lady with flax and light blonde hair tied up, fair skin, a high nose bridge, and ink. There was a gleam of curiosity in his green eyes.

And her earrings studded with diamonds, a diamond necklace embellished with red and sapphire sapphires, and the exquisitely tailored long dress on her body all reveal the origin of this lady.

If it hadn't been for Rawls to have met Audrey before~www.novelbuddy.com~, maybe he would have thought that the lady in front of him was Earl Hall's daughter, Backlund's most dazzling gem.

Still, he subconsciously looked at the banquet center and saw Audrey dancing with her brother Hibbert.

"Audrey only danced the first dance with his father Earl Hall today. After that, she declined all invitations. Are you going to try it?"

Rawls was stunned for a moment, then turned to look at the young lady, guessing her identity. Although the tone of her words was normal, there was obviously a little bit of dissatisfaction in it. Talking about another woman in front of one woman is a big no-no, let alone what he just did.

"...I'm not very good at dancing. In fact, I rarely see this kind of banquet..."

Raising his glass, Rolls smiled and introduced himself, "I'm Rolls Adrian, good evening, ma'am, I didn't know you..."

This is not the best way to deal with it. If he applauds the other party appropriately and criticizes Audrey openly and secretly, he may win the other party's favor. But Rawls could not confirm the relationship between the two and was unwilling to take the risk.

"The Viscount Drian just canonized today?"

"Uh, yes." Rawls is more curious about the identity of the other party. Although his title is not a secret, for a noble lady, it is difficult for those who have not paid attention to the title of title to tell their title. of.

"Derina." Perhaps seeing Rawls' doubts, Delina said her name and asked, "Are you a barrister?"
