The knight in the big world of American TV series

Chapter 102 Canonization (please collect, please recommend)

"In the name of the king, I bestow on you a great honor, and beneath the honor comes a great responsibility. Will you solemnly swear that you will rule your land and your people? And obey the laws and customs of the kingdom?"

"I will, my lord."

"You will swear to do what is just and merciful."

"I will, my lord."

"Will you swear allegiance to Camelot and perform the duties of your life?"

"I, Kay Brittany, swear by my life to protect the kingdom and its people, to be loyal to the king, and to never forget my duty." Kay knelt in front of King Uther, and received a gift from King Uther. The result symbolizes the scepter of ducal power.

King Uther was satisfied to see his adopted son take the oath, and was deeply relieved.He obtained a crown from the Grand Master beside him. This crown was obviously custom-made and was smaller than the king's crown as a whole. It was engraved with a roaring lion pattern. Right in front of the crown was a huge ruby.

Morgana, who was standing behind King Uther, had a ruddy face, and a happy glow radiated between her brows. Her eyes were full of pride and pride when she looked at Kai.

"Now, in the name of King Camelot, I officially crown Kai Brittany Duke of the Rhine!"

As King Uther put on the duke's crown for Kai, there was warm applause in the hall.Everyone thinks that Kai is worthy of the title of duke. After all, Kai's performance in the previous war was too dazzling. Not only did he repel the attack of the Sundred Kingdom at the smallest cost, but he also made the Sundred Kingdom pay ten thousand dollars. Ten thousand gold coins of war compensation.Kay later saved the life of Arthur, the crown prince of Camelot.

If it weren't for the purpose of stabilizing Arthur's position as the orthodox heir, Kay's canonization should have been carried out long ago.

Now, Arthur has gone through the performance of the knight assembly, which has greatly improved the recognition of his subjects and nobles.King Uther can rest assured that Kai can be added.So just after Arthur won the lance competition, King Uther couldn't wait to formally confer Kay the Duke of the Rhine on the New Year's Day the next day.

What's interesting is that Arthur's territory is exactly the territory of Morgana's father, Gloss, Duke of Cornwall - Londinium.A huge territory on the plains southeast of Camelot, where the Thames flows, and Londinium originally means the place where the river flows in the Celtic language.This territory is considered a wealthy territory in the Kingdom of Camelot.

But because Gloss, the Duke of Cornwall, died in battle, Morgana's mother died early, and Morgana was too young, so this territory has always been taken care of by King Uther. It is said that it is the request of the Duke of Cornwall. , In fact, because of some secrets in the early years, this territory was actually taken back by the Camelot royal family.Now King Uther entrusted this territory to Kai, the significance is self-evident.

At least the nobles and knights present understood the meaning of King Uther's actions. He confirmed Kai and Morgana's marriage in a disguised form, and returned the territory to Morgana in another way.

No one objected to this, and many people even felt that King Uther's doing so was very interesting.

Morgana naturally understood that under the envious eyes of everyone, Morgana was so shy that she was about to pass out.Because it means that her and Kay's wedding date is not far away.

……

After the canonization of Kai, the ceremony did not end, on the contrary, the more exciting moment has just begun.In this knight meeting, a total of fifteen knights were selected by King Uther, and the knights were given titles and territories.

This is the highlight. Of course, this is not to say that the canonization of Kai is not important. On the contrary, the canonization of Kai is of great significance, which means that the worries of the outside world about the change of the heir to the throne are completely over.Kai was named a duke, which means that he has lost the qualification to become the crown prince.In a political sense, the canonization of a hundred knights is not as good as the canonization of Kai.

But the canonization of Kai had already been conceived a long time ago. King Uther often summoned the nobles and court ministers of the kingdom for this matter.So this incident has been rumored a long time ago, and both nobles and commoners have long been psychologically prepared for it.

But the canonization of knights is different. Every year at the knights conference, some knights will stand out and be recruited by noble lords.As the organizer of the conference, Camelot naturally has great advantages.Basically, those outstanding knights were selected by Camelot, so that others could have their share.

Therefore, whether it is Camelot's own people or other noble lords, they all attach great importance to Camelot's entrustment after the knight meeting.In this way, just like the ancient imperial examinations in China, those who won the exams actually have nothing to do with most people. The reason why people care so much is naturally because of watching the excitement.

On the other hand, we can see if there are any talents among those who Camelot did not pick.

But this time, the other nobles and lords are destined to be disappointed. Although it seems that things are not going well in Camelot in the past two years, there are always monsters and disasters, but in fact, the production and life of the people have not been affected much, especially It was a war against the Kingdom of Sundred, and Kai won very well. Although Camelot issued a summoning order, Kai ended the war before the summoning order came into effect.

This has very little impact on Camelot's autumn harvest. Kai obtained the maximum benefit at the minimum cost. The soldier casualties were very small, but he received a large amount of war compensation.This war dividend has made Camelot's finances extremely healthy.

Plus these days, taxes are in the coffers, and Camelot is rich, very rich.Now that he has money, King Uther is naturally generous.

So this time, King Uther wiped out all the outstanding knights at once, conferring fifteen knights in total.Even Gawain, the knight on the white horse who was second only to Arthur in the conference, was recruited by King Uther with a high salary.

The other noble lords saw it and felt pain in their hearts.

In this era of countries vying for hegemony, who doesn't know the importance of talents.But there is no way, Camelot is rich, but he is willful.

In the eyes of the Camelot people, this is another scene.What does it mean that the king can confer knights on such a large scale?It shows how powerful Camelot is!Being part of Camelot, the stronger Camelot is, the better for them.

So although some people had pantothenic acid in their hearts, the overall atmosphere of the banquet was very good.

After the canonization of knights was completed, the servants and attendants brought up unlimited wine and food. Today is New Year’s Eve. According to tradition, all food and wine in the kitchen must be eaten and drunk before twelve o’clock today. little left.

No matter what, today is New Year's Eve, and everyone will temporarily forget their troubles and drink with others, eating meat and drinking.Very Water Margin, after all, it was BC, and there were not so many morals in the first place. Sometimes knights are no different from Liangshan heroes.

Just when people were immersed in the carnival atmosphere, a scream suddenly made everyone stunned.

It's New Year's Eve!According to the tradition of the Celtics, no matter how serious the enmity is on this day, it must wait until after midnight.What's more, this is the palace!Someone is making trouble at this time?
A group of knights who were a little bit drunk immediately drew their weapons and prepared to chop up the troublesome bastards into minced meat and drink with them!

Here I have to say that the Celtic tradition is really extensive. When I went to the palace for a dinner on New Year's Eve, these hunks were still armed.Really are……
