Chapter 175 The canonization ceremony
As the period of canonization approaches, Gassack decides to set off tomorrow. The desperate Stanley no longer has any fantasies and can only admit everything to Gassack on the way.
Gaisak took nearly two hundred entourages with him, but before he could leave the territory of Niujiao Town, he met a messenger from the north.
The messenger sent important news. The three earls from the north wanted to discuss a major event with Gasak. They wanted to join forces to clear the divine punishment army in the territory and surrender Gasak.
Gesak decided to go north, and the territory of these three counts was very large. With their support, Gesak's sphere of influence would double.
Stanley let out a long sigh, thanking the gods for their blessings, allowing him to escape.
But he suddenly remembered another thing. In the letter, Longgesen repeatedly reminded him to be more cautious in the north. Will this trip be in unexpected danger?
Stanley was hesitating whether to remind Gasack, but Gasack was worried about another thing.
"The date of canonization cannot be changed. This involves my reputation, and even the reputation of the king. You will preside over the canonization ceremony of Lord Monchik."
Stanley shook his head and said, "I'm going to preside over the ceremony, who will protect you again?"
Gaisak smiled and said, "I have many brave warriors around me, and you have to do a lot of important things."
Stanley was shocked. He was really worried that the count would encounter an accident. But if the excessive reminder was made, it might cause the count to give up his trip to the north, and the disaster he had just escaped might be back on his head.
Thinking of more than ten years of friendship, Gassack may not have killed him, but he may have deprived him of his title and worked hard for half his life to gain his current status. Stanley didn't want to lose everything just like this.
Geisak originally planned to do a lot of things in Iron Mountain Town, and the canonization of Lord Monchik was just one of them. Now he has given all these things to Stanley.
"Don't rush back after the enthronement is over. Stay in Tieshan Town for a few more days to see the situation in the town, especially to see Sorens' attitude. You must personally check the fiefdom he assigned to Monchik. Remember, it is our land. If Sorens lacks the size, or the land is too barren, it proves that Sorens intends to humiliate me.
In addition, you have to force Sorens to send an army, with the number of people not less than 200, and all the expenses are borne by him. During this time in Tieshan Town, you must meet Sorens frequently, but don’t live in his territory, and live as much as possible in Monchik’s manor. I believe in your strength, but Sorens is famous for being sinister, so don’t take risks with yourself.
You can trust Monchik, but it must be within a certain limit. I like this boy very much, but to me, no one is more precious than you..."
Gaisak was talking, speaking like an old father, Stanley's heart was shaking. He really wanted to stop the plan of traveling north, but he couldn't say it when he spoke.
There is no need to doubt Stanley's loyalty, nor the relationship between two people, but when it comes to matters that are related to life, Stanley can only make a choice from his own standpoint.
The team was divided into two routes and set out. When Stanley arrived in Tieshan Town again, he finally saw Sorens.
At the border of Iron Mountain, a team of honor guards of more than a hundred people were lined up on both sides of the road. Of course, this was not prepared for Stanley. Although the titles were the same, Sorens did not think that Stanley had the same status as him. In his heart, Stanley was not even considered a nobleman.
He wanted to express his respect for Gasak through high-standard etiquette, but he did not find Gasak in the team.
The anger in his heart instantly hung on his face. He put forward so many unacceptable conditions, and Sorens agreed, but now he didn't even show his face.
A year ago, Gessack was just a viscount, and now he dared to look down on him so much. Sorens wanted to leave immediately, but Stanley suddenly dismounted and came to Sorens in an instant.
Stanley never conceals the breath of the believers of the ancient gods. The power of the fourth-level believers made Sorens feel fear. He immediately gave up the idea of leaving, forced a smile, and bowed: "It's been a long time since I've been missing. Viscount Stanley, try bread and salt first. I prepared a sumptuous banquet in the castle..."
"Don't be so polite," Stanley smiled and bowed, "The Earl cannot come if you have any other important things. Please allow me to express my sincere apology on his behalf."
Saurons said a little embarrassedly: "Can you ask, what happened to Lord Earl?"
"I don't know much about the details. Maybe I went to visit a great man. Lord Gaisak has always respected the laws of the kingdom. What he did must have been approved by the king."
Sorenth couldn't even say a word that was choked, but Stanley took the opportunity to raise a new topic: "How are you preparing for the enthronement ceremony?"
Sorens had a step at least and hurriedly said, "I'm ready in the castle..."
"Complete the canonization in your castle? I'm afraid it's inappropriate," Stanley shook his head. "Lord Monchick is a subordinate of Count Gesack. You should be very clear about this. The Count means to complete the canonization directly on Lord Monchick's fief."
Sorens agreed immediately. This was the second time Stanley interrupted him. There was no room for negotiation in his tone, and Sorens did not intend to make meaningless negotiations.
"Is the Monchik Knight here?" Although he had seen Manda for a long time, Stanley still shouted.
Manda quickly came up and saluted Stanley respectfully.
Stanley smiled and said, "The reason why you are called Knight is that the ceremony has not been completed. If you don't mind, I want to go to your place for two drinks. From now on, we will be subordinates of the Earl, and we have to talk about some things well."
Stanley followed Manda to the manor, and Sorens had to take the guard of honor to send Stanley to the door of the manor in embarrassment, and then embarrassingly bringing everyone back to the castle with him.
The food was already on the dining table, and Sorens did not waste it and invited his retainer to have a hearty lunch.
Old Conte knew that the master was insulted, so he organized a group of fierce servants to find some trouble at Manda's manor. He knew how to control the standards, so that he would not cause any major trouble, but could also find some face for the Viscount.
But Sorens stopped him: "Why do you have to do such a naive thing? Find a few good girls, find more good wine and deliver it to my manor, and wait for this damn ceremony to spend a few days with me after the damn ceremony."
Two days later, the enthronement ceremony was held as scheduled. Wearing a silk robe with three pearls, Manda officially became a Lord of the Rome Kingdom in his territory.
The Lord is the lowest title. To be precise, he is not even within the Romelu Kingdom's title system and his status is only a little higher than that of the Knights. But after a year of coming to this world and achieving such achievements is enough to make Manda proud of himself.
After Stanley read the enthronement, Manda swore allegiance to the king. At the same time, he prayed loudly to Hermes in his heart. This prayer came from the heart and was completely free of any impurities.
"Great Hermes, thank you for giving my life value..."
