Chapter 60 Rewards

The tenth day after the celebration banquet in the northwest border ended, the envoy of the Holy Sword Legion entered the capital, and the news of the victory in the northwest spread in the capital. The royal family also officially issued an announcement to confirm the news. For a time, the people of the capital celebrated the crowd, and the streets and alleys were filled with people who were planning to defeat the orc army this time.

Information about the first genius mage of the North County and summoner Donald, as well as Donald's performance in the war with the orcs, was also spread throughout the royal capital and even across the country under the instruction of those who are interested.

When this beech came, the land area of ​​a knight's territory was a bit thin. His Majesty Celtic XV declared that for the dignity and fairness of the nobles of the kingdom, a part of the reward would be added.

This decision made it very difficult for all the members of the noble parliament to reach a formal resolution for a while.

For the final decision of aristocrats such as this, the royal family and the nobles in various places are generally in the hands of the noble council formed by the royal family and the nobles in various places. His Majesty the King proposes a resolution. If more than half of the members of the parliament vote to agree, the reward for the other party will be formally determined.

For ordinary lifelong lords and knights, the rewards are only required to decide by His Majesty the King and then notify the nobles' parliament to record them.

On the day the countess returned to the capital, His Majesty the King had already asked about her during this trip, and he had his own thoughts about Donald's request.

The next day, His Majesty the Kingdom once again summoned everyone in the Hall of Convention to carry out the final decision on the reward of the Northwest Great Victory. The rewards for other nobles and professions have long been decided. After all, the most accumulated achievements among them were just to eliminate hundreds of defeated orcs, and to grant a knight title was enough to be eliminated.

The only problem is the reward of Donald Meliner, the biggest hero, which is also due to the exclusion of old-fashioned nobles and the obstruction of hostile aristocrats.

If it weren't for the Ansel family's first filing of merit, which made Donald's military achievements legitimate and well-documented, and no fraud could be made. There was also a statement issued by the second prince Durui, which shocked those who were interested and did not dare to act rashly. So there were already children of great nobles who secretly usurped their achievements?

This kind of thing has happened in previous years, especially for civilian adventurers who have no foundation.

However, this time the Ansel family has been protecting him, and His Majesty the King and the Second Prince are concerned. The genius has the support of a county wizard behind it. It is really difficult to deal with it, so there is no fraud. This is why some noble forces are dissatisfied and the reward results are weakened as much as possible.

In this resolution, many noble officials were still preparing to argue endlessly over the big or small of the rewards.”

But His Majesty, their king, gave them a sacred sum of money.

"Everyone is the kingdom elite, there is no need to argue about some things. The messenger sent to the North County has returned. This is the request of the genius mage. Come on!"

His Majesty the King said that some people had already submitted the prepared documents and handed them over to the ministers and nobles for browsing.

According to the title from high to low, everyone present read the documents, and many nobles' faces changed slightly, and they were a little calm.

After everyone had seen it, a noble MP stood up and spoke first.

, "Your Majesty, is it a violation of the rules and nobility to restore a land that has become a manor to a noble fiefdom?"

When Celter XV heard this, he looked up at the nobleman and found that it was just a puppet spoke by a certain noble force, so he didn't care and waited for the opinions of others.

, "Your Majesty, I think it's okay to do this. Anyway, it was originally a hereditary territory and it could not bring much benefits to the kingdom. And since it was the request of the genius mage himself, why not let him shoot with his will?

This person represents the great nobles in the south. They had previously prevented Donald from receiving a great reward. It was just because it involved its own interests. Now that the reward target is far away from their territory, there is naturally no reason to stop it. Instead, they also spoke to help the other party.

As for the nobles whom the Merliner family's biggest rival, Viscount Macbeth's bribed, although he was willing to object, he was helpless and could not speak in front of several mountains. Moreover, Viscount Macbeth's bribery had not reached the point where he could offend the great nobles.

At this time, the Marshal of the Kingdom, who had been silent since the parliament, suddenly said: "Your Majesty, this baron asked the Lord of that year to be given a lower reward for his military achievements! After all, he was originally a hereditary noble!"

At this time, some old people present remembered that the hereditary lord who had offended the great nobles and had to be enfeoffed on the most remote land of the North County was not the favorite disciple of the old marshal. Although the old marshal was discouraged, he had not participated in the battles between the noble factions over the years," but what he said undoubtedly had a very important weight in the entire kingdom.

The Finance Minister Rutherford also stood up and said, "The old marshal said it well. It is a lord leader, and it is the most remote and deserted place in the north county. It seems too shabby for the military achievements made by the young mage! If you say it out, it may damage the face of my kingdom of Celtic!"

Although the speech of the Minister of Finance was secretly arranged by His Majesty the King, it was also because the Countess was supported by the King's Capital. Under some financial offensives, the reputation of Donald's human hero and orc slaughter quickly became very famous in the King's Capital. Even when the royal family was preparing to reward, they had to consider the public opinion from the outside world.

If you are too stingy, it will inevitably cause people's discussion and dissatisfaction. It will undoubtedly affect the active participation of noble lords and civilian adventurers on all sides of the war next time.

The royal family, who has always been stingy in giving up the rewards, would not be willing to divide their own interests.

At Donald's instruction, the countess secretly arranged for the noble council to make suggestions.

"Your Majesty, I have a suggestion that since His Excellency Meliner was originally a hereditary knight, it would be better to promote his title to baron. As for the territory, in addition to the original Lord's Corner, the outer periphery of the nearby Green Cloak Forest and the woodland near the Rock City was also divided. Although it was barren and deserted, it was large in area and worth a rich baron!"

As soon as this statement was made, the nobles present were shocked. The lands combined were hundreds of square kilometers!

Such a territory is equivalent to the size of a great nobleman above the earl.

But after thinking about it, their faces returned to calm.

Considering that the jungle areas that occupy most of the territory are like mountain forests, and are close to the dangerous places like the green cape forest, almost no one wants them, many nobles smiled and nodded in agreement.

Rutherford suddenly said at this moment: "Your Majesty, since the great Seventh Emperor, our Kingdom of Celtic has not appeared for too long to conquer new territory. The nobles from all over the world are also settled in a corner of their own territory, and they are a little unintentional. Now, this Mage Melinna has chosen a forest wasteland that was originally unparalleled. Isn't it the practice of pioneering knights?"

"Yes! If that mage can successfully open up these territories in the future, that is, to open up more territories for the kingdom, this is a great achievement!"

The Earl Dawson also spoke again to agree.

, "Not only that, if this Mage Melinna can succeed, it will set an example for the nobles of the kingdom, show everyone's enterprising spirit, and bring considerable benefits to the development of the kingdom!"

Even the old marshal spoke, and all the military officials present accompanied him, and most of the nobles who remained neutral immediately changed their direction, because such rewards did not involve their interests at all.

Therefore, the nobles and congressmen from all sides did not make much trouble for the reward of fiefs.

After all, a lord and a wilderness land that the kingdom could not take care of, would have dismissed the hero. In the eyes of many nobles, they solved the matter without paying a little!

Celte XV said at this time: "It turns out that he is a loyal nobleman of the kingdom. He deserves to be the first genius mage of the North County. Then, according to his request, he will grant him the original Lord's title, plus two nearby forests and the unowned land in the north of the Giant Rock City. The ministers think this reward is appropriate!"

"Your Majesty's handling is fair, and the rewards and punishments are clear. We have no objection!"

The reward result was recognized by royal members and representatives of local nobles, and was finally passed unanimously at the meeting.

His Majesty the King waved his hand and decided: "Then it's decided, the Reporter of the 〖Book〗 will draft the reward decree and send the documents to the noble parliament today and will be officially announced nationwide tomorrow!"

His Majesty the King's tone was unquestionable. With the support of several noble forces and the military's first man, Marshal Dawson, this decision was officially confirmed. Seeing that no one spoke out against the old king, I felt very happy.

Beijun has always been a knot in the old king's heart. Now that the great nobles in all sides of the kingdom are too strong to lose their power, the central power has gradually declined, which has already made him very worried, for fear that after he returns to his ancestors, the new successor king will not be able to suppress these great nobles and make their power even more inflated.

The old king knew very well about the old things about Macbeth and Merliner's family back then, but Macbeth was very powerful at that time, and as the king, he couldn't stop them from annexing a declining Knight family territory. Now there is an extra field noble in the North County and the lord is also a powerful mage, confronting the Macbeth family with inflated ambitions. The two sides restrained each other and reached a balance. This basically eliminated Macbeth's ambition to unify the North County. At least when the genius mage was alive, Macbeth's ambition could not be achieved.

Moreover, this move can also make friends with a talented person who is expected to become a senior mage for the royal family. Why not do it?

You should know that after becoming a bronze spellcaster, your lifespan will be at least half that of ordinary people. If you advance to silver, you can live to the age of 15. This means that there will be another guardian in the Celtic Kingdom in the past century.

His Majesty, who had been king for decades, had a very accurate grasp of these powers and conspiracies. If he didn't take action, he would hit the key point of the Macbeth family.

Most of the nobles agreed, and His Majesty the King seemed to have made up his mind, and a few nobles who were willing to make things difficult for the Meliner family to regain their fiefdoms had to agree with this.

Fortunately, all Donald wants is the Green Cloak Forest and the forests and wastelands below Izumo Mountain.

Although the area is large, almost equivalent to an earl's lord, it is all dangerous wasteland covered with jungles. No one cares about it at all. They no longer obstruct it and are happy to grant this masterless wasteland to the greatest hero.@.
