Simon changed into a blue patterned robe that was washed very clean and put on a pair of red and white color-blocked leggings.

When Simon walked out of the lord's bedroom on the second floor, through the hollow wooden handrails in the corridor, he could see that the banquet hall on the first floor had a long shelf table covered with white linen tablecloth.

Some Simon brought by the servants of the village of Folder were buying tableware, and it can be seen that they were still a little unfamiliar with the new environment.

To be honest, Simon dared not retain any servants left by the old lord - no matter how kind and honest they seemed, how needed to support their families.

It’s not that Simon is ruthless, but that no one can guarantee whether there are spies in these old servants who stayed with the former lord to inform the news, or assassins who want to take Simon’s life at any time. Simon doesn’t want to bet his life for this.

Simon walked down the wooden staircase that would make a "crunch" sound with every step. The ground in the first floor lobby is now covered with fresh hay, and the feces accumulated by the walls are also cleared by Simon, and then the flowers picked by the girls in the village were sprinkled on the back mountain to cover up the lingering stench that had been lingering for a long time.

"Mr. Simon, Father James and the others have arrived!" Simon's eyes lit up from the guards at the door.

"Let them come in!" Simon smiled and clapped his hands, and sat on the fur backrest chair on the front steps of the shelf table.

When Father James and his group entered the hall, only the servants prepared tables, chairs and tableware, and the slightly empty banquet hall suddenly became lively.

"My dear Lord Simon, may God bless you," Father James asked quickly, "I heard you are now a baron?"

"Yes," Simon felt a sense of accomplishment coming out of his heart, "Every inch of land you just walked belongs to me."

"It's incredible," said Father James with emotion. "In my hometown of England, a jazz would basically not have a chance unless he inherited it from his father. I am truly proud of you, Your Excellency!"

Simon laughed heartily: "I encountered an opportunity and seized it, it was that simple."

"I hope you can keep your luck and God is with you!"

"Thank you for your blessing, Father. By the way, the priest of the Aeschat parish is in the wooden church in the village. If you are interested, you can meet him."

"certainly."

After saying that, Father James exchanged a few more greetings with Simon, then walked towards the gate of the tower. Little Klein walked up, and Simon rubbed his fluffy golden curly hair: "Little Klein, how are you doing riding?"

"It's very good practice, my master, I can ride a target of cabbage-sized in the spear with my spear," Klein said proudly. "Father James taught me some Latin, the village chief taught me how to keep accounts, and Uncle Bill taught me how to improve the accuracy of archery... I believe I can learn more."

"Is that right?" Simon stood up, met the gaze of the village chief and Bill, and smiled, "I'll bother you."

"He is a smart kid, and Father and Bill are all happy to teach him something." The village chief's eyes were full of smiles, and his plump apple muscles were bulging high.

"For the next period of time, maybe you can follow him as Bill's helper to exercise in the Deehes Forest for a while." Simon pinched Klein's shoulder. He was no longer as thin as last year.

"Diheis Forest?" Bill scratched his head in confusion when he heard the name for the first time.

"You will know later." Simon smiled mysteriously.

………………………………

The dinner has begun.

Although there are no bards passing by in the territory, and the clown living near the village is sick and not coming, the banquet is still very lively.

In the middle of the Muburger field, several large oak tables were put together, and the wooden dining plates on the table contained black bread, turnips, cabbage and onion and pea puree, as well as some cheese.

The most popular dish is placed in the center of the table - roasted out of guts. The villagers who have rarely eaten meat for the past year have gone crazy, and have no grace to grab pieces of roasted animal liver with their hands and stuff them into their mouths, chewing them in big mouths.

Even now, there were two farmers who didn't usually deal with each other very much to fight for a larger piece of pork liver meat and beat them from the table to the stable. They were covered in mud and horse manure. The villagers dancing and carnival were amused and cheering them up loudly.

At this time, the enthronement ceremony that made everyone excited was just beginning in the tower hall.

Simon stood on the steps with an open-shewn sword in his hand, and the fat man knelt on one knee in front of him. Beside Simon, Father James and Priest Hanns of the Esbbed parish watched all this, while the village chief and Klein, the young, held their breath as the audience.

"In the name of the brave," Simon put the sword on the fat man's right shoulder, "I order you to stand side by side with the brave."

The fat man's body was trembling slightly. This was the scene he had dreamed of countless times in his dream. Finally, this day came, and he soon stopped being an unknown knight attendant. His half foot had already stepped into the door of the knight class.

"In the name of God," Simon raised his hand and crossed the sword over the fat man's head and put it on his left shoulder, "I order you to defend justice to the death."

The fat man's tears of excitement were circling in his eyes. His crystal blue eyeballs and tears at the corners of his eyes reflected the light of torches on the two walls.

"In the name of the Virgin," Simon put the sword on the fat man's right shoulder again, "It's no wonder that I ordered you to protect the weak."

Then, Simon moved the sword away from the fat man's shoulder. The fat man raised his head, his face full of excitement and expectation.

Simon stood still for a while, recalling how his father, Coother, did it.

"Bang!"

A crisp sound rang throughout the banquet hall. Little Klein, who was beside him, burst out laughing, but soon covered his mouth again - the fat man was slapped by Simon in the face unexpectedly.

Simon said with an understatement, while retracting the sword from the scabbard, "This is your oath, remember it firmly."

The fat man was a little confused and couldn't help but touch his red cheeks. But he immediately reacted - Simon was slapped by the baron at the enthronement ceremony, which was a tradition. This slap meant that the knight must always keep his oath in mind even under the brutal blow.

Simon held a strong and well-designed armed sword from his servant's hands, and the fat man quickly stretched out his hands and took it carefully.

"Cancel you as a knight, and receive the Berningham Manor in the north of the Baron. Get up."

"Huh!" Everyone clapped and cheered and congratulated the fat man.

Miller walked up and patted the fat man on the shoulder with joy: "Congratulations, fat man, now you are Sir Hoffman! Hahaha!"

"Then why don't you quickly show the respect you deserve to the Lord!" The fat man said with a stern face on purpose, and then he couldn't help it. He laughed loudly and patted Miller on the shoulder.

"Sir Hoffman, there are three free farmers and ten serf families in the Berningham Manor," Village Chief Duden, who had ignored the fat man two days ago, flatteredly greeted him, "It's a wealthy land, you can..."

"I know," the fat man had never had any good feelings for the village chief Duden of Esbai Village, and waved his hand, "You needless to say, I know everything."

"Okay." Du Deng touched his cold butt with a hot face, and he retreated awkwardly to the audience. He felt several sarcastic gazes hit him for a moment.

"The enthronement ceremony is not over yet," Simon said loudly when he saw that Klein was eager to take his seat, "Next, Gabriel. Kneel on one knee."

Gabriel was a little surprised.

As an illegitimate son with half aristocratic blood, he once fell into disarray and joined the mercenary group to fight around the European continent.

They were like sharks smelling blood, and wherever there was a battle, they were there. In Gabriel's opinion, although he was skilled in riding, he probably wouldn't have the chance to be a real knight in his life.

However, given the outstanding performance of the Folder cavalry under his command in this battle, Simon decided to give him this opportunity.

Gabriel was awarded the Melingen grassland in the south of the Baron.

There were six serfs, four free farmers, and an old horse breeder. Priest Hanns said that the pastures there were lush grasses, which were very suitable for the development of livestock.

Simon instructed Gabriel to train more excellent cavalry for him, and then handed him an exquisite knight sword.

"Next, Bill. Kneel on one knee."

"What? Me!" Bill was stunned, his mouth wide open.

If Fatty and Gabriel were just awarded because they had aristocratic blood, then now, the humble self can be awarded the title of jazz as a hunter and an archer, which made him so excited that he was almost suffocated.

Bill became nervous. In his opinion, his heart was beating faster now than hunting a wild boar in the forest that was extremely dangerous and could die if he was careless.

During the entire ceremony, Simon could feel his trembling from beginning to end from the sword on Bill's shoulder, which was not like the usual calm and calm Bill, who was not surprised when encountering things.

It seems that entering the aristocratic class is not very touching for Simon and others who were born to be nobles. For any ordinary civilian, it is the most important and most important turning point in their lives.

In fact, now the so-called nobles have looked at the generations of their ancestors. Who is not a civilian?

Bill was sealed with Deeth Village, a small village located in the Deeth Forest. There is a small logging farm there. Bill has to range the forest for Simon, maintain the operation of the logging farm, supervise the revenue of the logging farm, and train more hunters and archers for Simon.

"I have a carpenter from Brittania named Krieg, who can make longbows. When he has made the first batch of longbows, I will send someone to Dehes Village."

"Thank you, lord," Bill licked his chapped lips and put the armed sword that Simon gave him into his scabbard. "I promise that there will be no robbers and poachers in the future, and your logging farm will continue to transport wood for you."

"Very good," Simon patted Bill's shoulder hard, "But as a knight, you have to practice riding well in the future. A knight who can't ride a horse will be laughed at!"

"Ahhh," Bill laughed amid the congratulations, "I will definitely become an excellent knight."

After the enthronement of Bill, Simon's eyes swept across everyone's face. Some were really happy for their friends, some were jealous in their eyes, and some were covering up a faint sense of loss. In the end, Simon's eyes were frozen on Miller.

"Miller, kneel down on one knee."

Miller, who was just applauding Bill, just as if he was staring at Medusa, was frozen like a stone.

Simon thought that Miller had been following him since the beginning of the militia, and became the captain of the militia with courage. With his achievements in Simon's rise several times, although he was humble, he was named a knight, and Simon believed that he deserved it.

"Kneel down on one knee." Simon's second reminder allowed Miller to relieve himself. He walked out of the audience's queue, came to the steps, and knelt in front of Simon on one knee.

Unlike Bill, Miller's body was really motionless like a stone statue. In fact, Miller's brain is now blank.

In this way, Miller was granted the title of Montzerland in the southwest of the Baron, where six free farmers, eight serfs, and a large area of ​​land that had been reclaimed in the beginning of spring.

I believe that Miller's enthronement can inspire the soldiers of the militia and make them more brave when fighting. After all, the last person with such a bravery has now become a knight.
