Chapter 57 The Battle for the Number of Places Part 1
Soon, these disgruntled guests had nothing to say——
A gold necklace inlaid with emeralds is worth a lot just by looking at the luster.
A short sword placed in a brocade box, although it looks ordinary on the outside, but being given out with that necklace naturally represents its extraordinaryness.
However, some people are still lucky, such as Wei Boer, he widened his eyes, hoping that a 'miracle' would happen; , but made his face ashen; obviously, he knew that he had fallen into a real desperate situation, which contained a deep sense of failure.
"thanks!"
In order to attend her father's banquet, the glamorously dressed Lily Till gently kissed Dean's cheek when she took over the necklace that she loved so much—it didn't include admiration, it was just out of etiquette; however, This obviously made the young people on the side jealous.
Undoubtedly, in Tyre's territory, Lily Tire is like a bright pearl, held in the palms of many people, especially those young people, who regard it as the initial throbbing in their hearts - therefore, But any young man who thinks he has some ability has become the suitor of this lady.
However, no one was favored by this young lady.
Even, very few people can really get in touch with this lady - including afternoon tea and other activities, the lady of the baron's family politely refused.
It's not arrogant, at least the lady from the baron's family will attend hunting and other activities as scheduled.
Just, simple likes and dislikes.
However, in this way, the young people in Tyre's territory admired this lady even more - what is not available is always the best.
It is applicable at any time.
Dean felt the unkind eyes of the young people, and didn't care—just as he didn't care about the people outside the Baron and his party before, at this moment, he still didn't care.
A stone is always a stone, and it is still a stone when it is placed on the table.
Gold will always be gold, even if it is buried in the ground, it will still be gold.
For the former, people will abandon it like a clog, and for the latter, people will flock to it, even if it exists tens of meters or hundreds of meters underground, it will not be able to resist people's enthusiasm at all.
Obviously, those one or two young people with good potential did not change Dean's original intention - because the other party's potential is only good, and this is good, in Tillland, in the entire County of Vauban , is nothing at all, not even his two militia captains.
At least one of the two militia captains has appeared in his memory, while the other two have never appeared at all.
What's more, the other party has now revealed a strong hostility.
Therefore, Dean felt that he needed to 'kill' this hostility in advance——
"thanks!"
There was a smile on Dean's face, and there was a touch of elegance in his grace, and the aristocratic atmosphere all over his body was undoubtedly revealed at this moment.
Seeing the surprised and confused appearance of the baroness, Dean pointed to the cheek kissed by the other party, and said in a voice that only two people heard: "This is the most sincere thank you I have met tonight, so... thanks!"
"They are too much,
Blame that clown Wilbur! "
The baroness obviously didn't expect Dean to thank him for such a thing, but there were quite a few cheerful baronesses who commented bluntly.
"A clown will always be a clown, no matter whether he takes off the mask or puts on the mask, the essence remains the same-have you seen his 'hard work' performance before? To be honest, it's really good!"
Dean said something pointedly, but the baroness only noticed the words behind, and immediately let out a burst of crisp laughter.
And such crisp laughter made those young people itch even more.
However, Baron Till, who was standing aside, was very satisfied, with a smile, he just looked at Dean and his daughter like this——if possible, he would not mind finding someone like Dean for his daughter 'Young talents'; after all, as the lord of Tyreland, he is very clear that his Tyreland is too small, and there are only a few who can truly be called talents.
And these few are still in Tyreland.
Once out of Tyreland?
The baron smiled wryly in his heart—although he had always hoped to choose a husband for his daughter among these young people, but none of them satisfied him after many checks.
Also only Molde looks good.
but……
What can a dead person say?
However, Dean's appearance made the Baron's eyes shine——
"Maybe it's a good choice!"
Baron Till thought silently in his heart.
However, Baron Till would not force it, he would just respect his daughter's choice.
In fact, as a member of the nobility, marriage is difficult to choose freely. Therefore, everyone does not mind the relatives the other party has after marriage; Feeling fortunate; similarly, he hopes that his children will continue this happiness.
Therefore, he doesn't mind having better people appear beside his daughter.
Especially the ones who seem to be born noble and have a lot of wealth—as a father, Baron Till respects his daughter's choice, but also hopes that his daughter will not have to worry about life.
All parents in the world are probably like this!
Baron Till took a deep breath, and was about to announce the official start of the banquet. However, before he could speak, his aide tugged at his sleeve, pointed at him without a trace, and gave the two copies to A gift from his eldest daughter and second son.
Immediately, Baron Till reacted.
However, Baron Till, who reacted, smiled helplessly—obviously, if this required a return.
And this made Baron Tire a little embarrassed.
It wasn't that the gift in return was unprepared - as a traditional nobleman, it was impossible for Baron Till to be unprepared, but he never thought of how expensive the gift Dean brought was.
Needless to say, the gold and emerald necklace, just the material itself is no less than thirty Kimptons, plus the craftsmanship, the price of fifty Kimptons is not too much in a jewelry store.
As for the short sword?
As Baron Tyre, who loves weapons deeply, just seeing the cold light, he knew that the cost of this dagger was obviously not inferior to the former, and even in the eyes of some people, the latter was the real treasure.
With such a gift, it is only considering that it was originally a return gift that belonged to the visiting gift pearl, so it is obviously impossible to take it out.
However, if you prepare it now, it is obviously a bit hasty - a gift without packaging and decoration is obviously not in line with the business.
Therefore, the baron subconsciously looked at his staff with embarrassing eyes——
"My lord, have you forgotten the quota?"
As the baron's staff, Ikos once again showed his competence.
Suddenly, the Baron's eyes lit up.
That quota naturally refers to the quota for the 'Knight Baptism' that was vacated after Molde's death.
Taking this as a gift in return is obviously enough; after all, the taxes in Tyre's territory can only be exchanged for one such quota from Vauban County every two to three years.
Every time, the 'baptism of knights' is not free.
In addition to the recommendation of the local lord, the tax from the local lord to the upper level is also needed as a guarantee.
Therefore, the local lords would never recommend anyone except those they truly trusted.
As for performing the 'Knight Baptism' by yourself?
It's not impossible, the thieves' union and other secret organizations have such abilities, but the price is far higher than the 'regular channels', and ordinary people can't afford it.
In fact, just look at the taxation of Tyrell.
Even though it is a border area, relying on the fur and herbal merchants who come and go, Tilling has a tax revenue of no less than 500 Kimptons every year. Even in Vauban County, it is also among the best, and ten of them One part of it needs to be handed over to the Marquis of Vauban as a contribution to his fief.
And the contribution of Tyre's fiefdom for two to three years is at least around 150 Kimptons.
Therefore, the value of using it as a gift in return is equivalent, or even much higher - and the higher part is naturally the dignity of being the master.
"Cough, cough!"
A light cough sounded, and Baron Tire glanced at the quiet guests. As the host of this banquet, the owner of Tireland, he said in a very loud voice: "Before the banquet starts, I think I An event needs to be announced-Boci, my loyal knight, unfortunately died under the back arrows of thieves. For this, we need to mourn and remember, and at the same time, we should use more courage to deal with those damned guys !Fortunately……"
While speaking, the baron walked up to Dean, formally brought Dean in front of everyone, and said, "There is no shortage of such people around us—the Dean Ken knight next to me is such a young man." , Therefore, I think it is most appropriate for him to succeed to the position of the head of the Feichalun Knights!"
The surrounding guests had obviously already received such news. Except for the militiamen of the Knights, no one showed any surprise or surprise.
"At the same time, I would like to recommend this young man to attend the 'Knight Baptism' in County Vauban!"
The Baron’s words continued, but this time someone objected——
"etc!"
A young man stood up.
