According to the law of Romulus, viscount and above nobles have the power to canonize knights, but canonization is another matter.
Strictly speaking, all titles can only be canonized by the king. Although low titles such as barons and lords do not need to be canonized by the king in person, they must also obtain the king''s autograph.
Count and Viscount must be canonized by the king face to face. They are real local lords. They can manage their territory with their own rules on the basis of Kingdom law.
Becoming a marquis is more difficult. First of all, they have to have a strong army and make enough achievements. Their territory is on the border of the Kingdom, because they have the strength to fight with foreign countries and can protect the security of the kingdom. They are the real overlord.
To become a grand duke is not as simple as granting a reward. There are some signs of coercion. In short, when the power of one vassal develops to the extent that it can threaten the king, the king must give him an identity that matches his strength, otherwise the king''s crown may not be guaranteed, and this identity is the Duke.
Duke, marquis, uncle and son don''t have to fantasize. Even if they want to be a lord, they must at least be recommended by the count. Manda is very curious. What kind of title can Viscount sorense give him?
He had two drinks with the viscount and praised the not so good cider. Manda took the lead in getting to the point.
"Sir, what do you mean by the title you just mentioned?"
Sorense smiled: "I think members of the munchke family don''t have to worry about such things."
Sorense is testing Manda. He is not sure whether Craig munchke has anything to do with the Marquis of munchke. He knows what Manda has done. In order to become a knight, he has used cruel violence against Baron Claude. The Marquis''s family members do not need to do this step.
Manda replied cautiously, "not every member will be loved by the family."
This is very reasonable. Craig munchke is a believer of ancient gods. The cautious Marquis of munchke certainly doesn''t want him to appear in public. He may be a marginal figure in the family and specializes in some shady activities.
"I can see that noble blood is flowing in your body. What you need is an opportunity, and I have two opportunities waiting for you."
"I look forward to your advice." Manda didn''t show too much excitement. He lived two lives. Although he was a little unfamiliar with the human world, he could still smell the smell of traps.
"The first and best chance is that the war launched by Niujiao town is sweeping the whole kingdom. The heroic Lord gassack has been canonized as an earl by the king. When the war is over, gassack will become a marquis or even a grand duke. What you need is a meritorious service to let gassack remember your name. With his recommendation, you can easily become a baron, There is even hope of becoming a viscount. "
Manda said, "do you want me to join count gassac''s army?"
"I guess you don''t want to take that risk. A man named nidali in haze valley was burned to ashes because he offended gaisack''s love general. You should have heard his story."
Unexpectedly, the story spread widely. Manda smiled and didn''t respond.
Sorense then said, "you don''t have to obtain combat achievements in the army. The key is to find out where the valuable enemies are. The divine punishers in Tieshan town are still watching. They hide in the castle and refuse to fight or escape. If you can bring their heads back, count gasak will look at you differently."
What a perfect plan to get rid of the divine Punisher by someone else''s hand. If gessack wins the war, sorense will claim that he ordered to eliminate the divine Punisher, and naturally become a firm supporter of his majesty and gessack.
If gaisak loses the war, sorense will put all the blame on Manda, and then get rid of Manda to avenge the punisher. He is still a firm supporter of the Church of divine punishment.
Regardless of the outcome of the war, sorense will always be on the winner''s side.
Manda took a sip of cider and exclaimed, "it tastes delicious. I want to know what you said about another opportunity?"
Sorense was a little disappointed. The first opportunity was so attractive, but it didn''t attract Manda.
Maybe the rumor is true. The boy is the illegitimate son of Claude Sai. He wants to take back his family property.
"I hear you have something to do with Baron claudesai. He always says you are his son."
"How can you believe such absurd things?" said Manda in amazement
"I don''t believe it, but some people believe that if Baron Claudius is involved in the war with the punisher, if his family dies, including his wife and children, as well as Lord Pedros standing behind him, you will become the only heir to the Claudius family, including his property, his fiefdom and his title."
Sorense is a good hunter. Every bait exudes an irresistible fragrance, and greedy Manda''s saliva drips.
But saliva can only flow in my heart. I must not let the Viscount see it. The Viscount wanted to kill and didn''t want his hands stained with blood. Compared with him, Manda felt a little too honest.
The title is what you want, but the jar is not for you, the pot is not for you to carry, and you have to work hard to sell you. My life is resolutely not sold.
Clear principles can naturally resist the temptation. Manda smiled and said: "Baron Claude Sai has some misunderstanding with me, but he is an honest man. I will be ashamed of myself by stealing the title from him by despicable means, which also violates a knight''s oath."
Manda thought the sophisticated sorense would continue to deal with herself, but the Dangzhao pendant suddenly became hot.
Sorense was still smiling, but there was a little killing between his smiles.
Is the old fox so angry? Manda kept quiet and prepared. He suspected that the other party was still testing himself.
In silence, Manda looked at sorense''s clavicle. There was a faint golden light, which proved that there was a divine blood stone under his clavicle.
Sorense was a believer of ancient god. Although he used the method of covering up his breath, he couldn''t escape Manda''s eyes.
His position seems not low, probably above the third level. I didn''t expect that he has such strength, but he always maintains the humility of the weak in front of the count.
Manda realized that she underestimated her opponent and that it would bring terrible consequences. If sorense chose to kill Manda in his castle, Manda would not hesitate to run away and never dare to fight.
The two sides were silent for a long time. Soros raised his glass, drank the rest of the wine, shook his head and said, "Knight munchke, the conversation tonight is not pleasant. I guess you may be tired. Go back and have a rest earlier."
Manda got up and left. Sorense told her, "don''t forget the knight''s responsibility. Don''t forget that I''m your Lord. I''ll fight for me when I need you."
Seeing Manda leave the castle, sorense hooked his finger and old Cantor, who was hiding in the dark, came out.
"Has the count of gassack written again?" asked sorense.
Old Cantor took out the letter box and handed it to sorense.
Sorense shook his head. "I won''t read it. Just tell me what''s useful."
Old Conte said, "count gassac is asking about your attitude. According to the description in the letter, if you don''t want to fight side by side with him, he doesn''t want to waste any more time. He will capture Tieshan town in a month."
"I didn''t expect him to be so arrogant," sorense said thoughtfully, pinching his cheek. "Write back to him and tell him that I will always be his most precious friend and that I am always ready to fight side by side with him."
Old Cantor said, "Sir, I think you should know what gassac wants. I''m afraid verbal commitment alone is not enough."
"Of course there must be action," sorense stretched out two fingers. "Find some idle young people and let them burn the punisher''s church. We must anger the punisher and at least kill two people."
Old Cantor looked embarrassed: "my Lord, those who are punished by God are scared. Even if they are really angry, I''m afraid they don''t have the courage to kill."
Sorense frowned: "as long as people die, they must have killed them. Do you want me to teach you this kind of thing?"
Old Cantor nodded again and again, and sorense asked, "what do you think of this young man?"
"He''s very clever," old Cantor replied carefully.
"You''re right. Smart people don''t take the initiative to get involved in disputes. They will wait for others to lose and then reap profits," sorense smiled. "I like such smart people best, especially the way they die in my hands."
