"He is the disciple of Master Merlin, Li Yan Alexander!" Just as the guests were curious, Grand Duke Pompeii's eyes suddenly looked at Li Yan, who was standing behind Blanche and Corian, raised the wine glass in his right hand and said, "Can I invite you to have a glass together?"

Even though Li Yan had a premonition about the mention of Grand Duke Pompeii, he did not expect that the Duke, the lord of the Duke of Pompeii, would invite him to have a glass of wine. Just as the ancient Chinese emperor would not easily toast to his ministers on formal occasions, this was a manifestation of the Duke's great importance and gratitude to him.

He couldn't help but be slightly stunned, and quickly came back to his senses. Li Yan, who was wearing a black robe and slender figure in the envious and even jealous eyes of the guests, walked up quickly, bowed solemnly, took the wine glass on the duke's right hand with both hands: "Li Yan Alexander thanked the duke."

"Haha..." He raised his empty wine glass, and Grand Duke Pompeii looked at Li Yan and drank the Pornarian red plum wine in his hand and looked extremely happy. I wonder if it was the reason for the wine, but a faint red tide appeared on his majestic face.

He patted Li Yan on the shoulder, "Very good, wait a moment." Then he turned around again. At this time, Li Yan found that behind the duke was an old servant about 50 years old, holding a golden box in his hand, with thick patterns carved on the surface, and carefully looking like lions, either fangs or claws or running rapidly.

After taking the box from the servant, Grand Duke Pompeii faced Li Yan, his originally smiling face became solemn, serious, and strong power. This was not only the pressure he exuded as a level 8 knight, but also the kingly temperament brought by the power he cultivated for decades.

"Li Yan Alexander, for your outstanding contribution to Pompeii! Now, I, Reinhard Lyon Pompeii, grant you the honorary viscount as the Duke of Pompeii. In addition to being unterritorial and inability to be hereditary, you will be able to enjoy the same treatment as the Viscount in the Principal of Pompeii. Please accept the badge of honor." The solemn voice echoed in the banquet hall, like a thunder slashing into the hearts of the many guests present, and for a moment, silent.

"Hiss!" "Aisha (Holymph of Elans) is on!" A low voice of discussion and sigh suddenly burst out, and a pair of red eyes suddenly stared at the golden box in the duke's hand. If the guests were jealous when Li Yan was invited to have a cup together by the duke, then they were going crazy now! "Vissue of Honor, although he has no territory and cannot be hereditary, he has definitely entered the aristocratic class!"

The aristocratic class in this world has a huge gap with the civilians. No matter how much wealth it has, even the most successful business family is not easy to obtain even the lowest honorary baron. It often takes generations of hard work to spend a lot of money, but it is still willing to do so.

Because only by entering the aristocratic class can the country be strictly protected. The most obvious example: aristocrats kill civilians at most, at most, they will lose money. If civilians offend nobles, they will be imprisoned and punished at the least, and if they are hanged, they will be executed.

Most of the people who spent a lot of money to attend this banquet wanted to make friends with the powerful and nobles, hoping to get the opportunity to become formal nobles. It is conceivable that they were envious and jealous when they saw Li Yan obtaining the status of honorary viscount.

Although Li Yan did not understand the meaning of the Viscount Honorary, he understood from the amazement around him that this was definitely not a gift from Grand Duke Pompeii. Looking at Grand Duke Pompeii, he hurriedly said: "This is just that I am lucky and have happened. In fact, I have not made much contribution, let alone General Clyde and others rescued me from the forest. This gift is too expensive and I cannot accept it."

Unexpectedly, Li Yan would refuse. Not to mention the people around him, even Pompeii was stunned for a moment. When Blanche and Corian were secretly anxious, they seemed to think of some Duke blinking at Li Yan, and suddenly smiled: "Haha, I forgot, you don't know the Principality of Pompeii."

Then Surong explained to him: "Richard is my only son. If you hadn't brought out the Agave to detoxify him in time, once he encountered misfortune, Pompeii would fall into civil unrest after me, so you saved not only my son, but also the entire Principality of Pompeii. For a warrior who saved the country, you can afford this gift."

After the Duke's explanation, if he refuses, he will be no longer responsible. Although Li Yan knew that the Duke valued the more he valued the teacher Meilin behind him, he still bowed to accept the box containing the badge handed over by Grand Duke Pompeii, amid the applause of everyone.

The reward of the Viscount of Honor is just a kind of identity and does not require the recipient to be loyal to his superiors. Therefore, Li Yan's acceptance of this badge did not violate the purpose of being single and not seeking favor to the powerful and noble as advocated by the Mage Association.

Afterwards, the banquet officially began. It is conceivable that Li Yan, who had just received the reward, became the core of everyone's eyes in the field except Richard. His handsome face and unique black hair and black eyes were already the viscount of honor at such a young age. More importantly, he was a mysterious and powerful magician who worshipped the magician Merlin as his master. Even Grand Duke Pompeii should pay attention to it. It can be said that he is already the prince charming in the mind of the girl Huaichun.

From time to time, there were girls dressed up either shy or charmingly hinting that he would dance together or even go a step further. Li Yan could only smile and refuse in Corian's jealous eyes.

Suddenly I found that I was not suitable for writing this kind of scene. This chapter was stuck for a long time and the quality was not good. I tried to transition early to enter the future plot.
