Chapter 472

Emily completed the coronation, followed by the canonization ceremony.

This is also what people are most looking forward to. Whether it is a meritorious minister who has followed the Queen for many years, or a new heir to the title who is forced to surrender, they are all waiting for this moment.

Varogen took out a scroll and began to call names: "Please come up, Your Excellency Wren Augustus."

Except for a few high-level officials who knew the inside story, most people were very surprised.

Ren's name is known to everyone in Congatro, and his deeds in the empire have also spread. People are in awe of this hero who seems to have come out of an epic, and at the same time, they are more of a kind A sense of alienation, which is a resistance to the foreign conqueror, thinking that sooner or later he will leave Congatero and return to the Empire.

In the midst of people's attention, Ren stood up.

Ren, who was wearing exquisite armor, was tall and straight, and his appearance was so handsome that the men present were jealous. However, when he thought of his strength and origin, as well as the Ultramarines and Spearwing Knights outside the temple, even if he was unconvinced Humans don't dare to show any signs at this time.

Ren walked up the steps and knelt down on one knee in front of Emily's throne, but he didn't lower his head. With his height, this posture was almost at the same level as the sitting Emily.

This is not in line with etiquette, but also appears very presumptuous and disrespectful.

Emily didn't care, she smiled slightly at Ren, and lightly put the dragon-born scepter representing the royal power on Ren's shoulder, and said solemnly: "I, Emily Drogonburg, In the name and rights of King Congatro, I confer upon you, Ren* Augustus, the following fiefdoms: Dragon's Spine City, Stream City, Felwood Castle, Wind Valley City... Dragon Forest, merged into Augustus Duchy... Duke Augustus..."

As Emily's words spread, there was an uproar in the Dragon Temple.

Later, she read out a series of fiefdoms, and the commotion in the crowd became louder and louder, which almost overwhelmed her voice.

The uproar was so loud that many people overlooked a detail. Emily's letter did not mention the dragon god Bahamut, and she canonized Rennes in the name of the king.

Emily had to turn up the volume, which made the inside of the temple buzz, suppressing the noise of the people and finishing speaking quickly.

"Willing to serve His Majesty."

Ren immediately agreed and completed the entire process of the canonization ceremony.

He stood up and turned to face the people below, and saw shocked faces, with astonishment, puzzlement, vague anger and opposition on their faces.

Most of these people are native nobles of Congatero. They don't want to see an imperialist occupy a large area and create an eighth principality, and it is such a large principality, and its location is so important. hinterland.

"snort!"

Ren snorted softly, but the voice was not loud, but it was heard clearly by everyone in the temple. The faint power of the dragon penetrated directly into the mind, and it shocked the hearts of those nobles who were opposed.

"Whoever objects to His Majesty's canonization, please raise your hand." Ren asked in a deep voice.

His eyes swept over the angry noble lords, and everyone who was his fancy showed a timid expression, and they lowered their heads not daring to look at each other. Everyone is not an idiot. When they found that the few dukes sitting in the front row did not respond, they knew that this matter had already been settled, and anyone who came forward now was courting death.

The establishment of the Principality of Augustus suffered the most from the Robert Dill family. Duke Dylan didn't say a word, and it was not his turn to object.

The Dragon Temple was quiet for a few seconds, filled with an uneasy atmosphere.

Emily on the throne watched coldly, like a spectator.

This was discussed by the two in advance. It was expected that there might be objections to the canonization ceremony, so Ren was the villain, and she didn't make a statement, so that outsiders could speculate that she was being coerced, so as to facilitate the unity of the nobles in the future. people's hearts.

Ren suppressed the opponent forcefully, then approached the canonization document from Emily's hand, and returned to his seat.

Varogen announced the continuation of the canonization ceremony, and called up the second recipient.

However, everyone in the temple was not focused on the ceremony. People frequently looked at Ren, who was sitting in the first row, and looked at his back. The expressions vary.

Duchy of Augustus!

From then on, Kanguotro gave birth to the eighth principality, as well as a duke from the empire, and behind him was the behemoth of Wezeland floating city, which would make the future of the kingdom full of variables.

Some quick-witted people guessed some kind of change from various signs, and their faces were thoughtful.

Today will be a day destined to go down in the history books of Congastro.

On this day, the Drogonburg dynasty was restored, more than 30 million people ushered in a new queen, four new dukes succeeded in the Seven Duchies, and more than 20 noble lords were canonized in one go, including a new establishment. Principality!

The ceremony that lasted several hours ended, and Emily left under the watchful eyes of the people.

"My lord duke!"

Duke Fisher next to him was the first to come up to congratulate him, and said with a smile on his face, "Congratulations, Your Excellency, on becoming the founder of the Duchy of Augustus. We will be neighbors from now on."

Prince Doran of the Morse family smiled: "The Principality of Morse is also."

Everyone congratulated Ryan.

The newly established Principality of Augustus was bordered by four principalities, the Principality of Drogonburg in the north, the Principality of Morse in the west, the Principality of Fisher in the southwest, and the Principality of Lauberdil in the south.

This was carefully planned by Emily.

In this way, if there are any changes in the three duchies in the future, the Duchy of Augustus will be able to respond immediately in the middle, and the importance of its position is second only to the Duchy of Drogonburg where the capital is located.

Ryan responded to everyone one by one, paying special attention to his three neighbors.

The new Duke of Lauberdeer forced a smile, a little afraid to face Rennes. After all, he still owes Rennes three million golden dragons, half of the deadline has passed, and the money raised is less than one million. Ways to explain to creditors.

Ren patted Dylan on the shoulder, smiled, and said nothing. After bidding farewell to everyone, he opened the portal and returned to Red Dragon Castle to continue building the teleportation array.

After dozens of hours of continuous work, the last mithril plate was finally cast.

While debugging, Sicarius ran in.

"Boss, I found something!"

Sicarius' foot stepped on the ground and made a bang, which made half the hall tremble, making the teleportation array a bit unstable during debugging.

Ren didn't care at all, and asked eagerly, "Where is it?"

"In a warehouse at the port of Longya Bay, if it is half a day later, it might be loaded on a ship and sent away." Sicarius replied: "Don't worry, the boss, the brothers have already controlled it."

"That's good."

Ren has always been very reassuring about Sicarius' work, and the two are talking about a batch of source crystal mines.

On the night when Kingsland was captured, Emilys sent someone to search inside and outside Red Dragon Castle, and checked the treasury, but found that a large amount of Mithril was missing, including the source crystal mine transported from Longji City. It is recorded that the total number of these source crystal ores is more than 100,000 pounds!

Mark's treasury has been in deficit for many years, and he owes a lot of money. Mark has to borrow money from the Duke of Dans to maintain his rule and the expenses of the Julu Legion.

This is also one of the reasons why Mark knew the queen's adultery, but turned a blind eye.

This batch of mithril and source crystal ore is the most valuable thing in the treasury.

However, during the war, someone took advantage of the chaos to take Mithril and Origin Crystal Mine from the treasury, but they disappeared. Emily was furious, and ordered Varogen to investigate with all her strength, and finally there was a result.

Ren opened the portal and took Sicarius to the port of Kingsland.

People in the port point around a warehouse, watching the excitement from a distance.

The warehouse was surrounded by centaurs, and there were a few Ultramarines guarding the door. When they saw Ren coming, they shouted loudly, "Boss."

Ren entered the warehouse and saw Varogen, who had just been canonized as "Marquis of Rees", interrogating a middle-aged man in noble clothes.

"Your Excellency." Varogen saluted and greeted.

Ren nodded and looked at the blood-stained prisoner, "He stole the treasury?"

"Yes." Ashamedness flashed across Valogen's face. He was responsible for a large part of this incident. He even let someone steal the treasure belonging to His Majesty under his nose. The intelligence network he set up did not notice it. It was almost ruined.

"He is one of Mark's most trusted lords, and he has a good relationship with the manager of Red Dragon Castle in private..."

Just as Valogen was about to explain, he was interrupted by Ren.

He is not interested in these things, anyway, as long as the things are recovered, he said: "I'll go and see if there is anything I need in the treasure."

"Your Excellency, please follow me."

Valogen led Ren into a warehouse guarded by the Scale Blood Guards. It was full of wheat packed in sacks, but this was just a cover-up. The sacks of wheat were opened to reveal the large wooden box underneath. One counts at least thirty or forty boxes.

"All open." Ren said.

Sicarius took a few Ultramarines and opened all the boxes. The front boxes contained golden dragons, gems, alchemy materials, mithril, etc., and the back boxes contained boxes of crystalline ores.

Source Crystal Mine!

Ren was overjoyed. The quantity of this batch of source crystal mines was more than expected, far exceeding 100,000 pounds by visual estimation, and it may be more than doubled. He stepped forward to pick up a piece of source crystal ore, and inspected it with a metallic touch. The purity was about one twenty-fifth, and it came from the mithril mine in Longji City.

After counting, there were eight boxes of source crystal ore, with a total weight of 280,000 pounds!

"so much!"

Ren's breathing couldn't help being a little heavy, which should have been accumulated by Mark over the years. Congatero called the source crystal mine "heavy silver". For the vast majority of people, heavy silver is almost useless and can only be sold abroad by sea, such as the Empire or the New World.

However, even the empire couldn't absorb so much silver, and alchemists rarely used it, so it was unsalable.

The result of oversupply is falling prices.

In Congatro, the market price of a pound of source crystal ore is around Wu Jinlong, which is far lower than the thirty to forty gold shields of the empire, and because the demand is too small, there is no source crystal ore between the two places. How much profit can be said, causing the market to be uncirculated.

There are also source crystal mines produced in the empire, which is enough.

That's all cheap Ryan.

280,000 pounds of source crystal ore, after purification, more than 11,000 pounds of source crystal can be obtained, which is nearly ten times that of all the source crystals he obtained before!

Ren thought of the exchange list of Elder Titan, these source crystals can be exchanged for too many good things.

Finally, I also made a fortune once!

"Marquis Reese, how about giving me all these heavy silver mines?" He asked with a smile, "It's still the same as before, and it will be recorded in my account, and these ores will be deducted from my share first when distributing the loot. the Golden Dragon."

Naturally, Varogen would not object. He had already received instructions from the Queen, and everything was up to Rennes to decide, and Rennes would give him whatever he wanted.

"My lord, you can take the ore now."

"Thank you."

Ren waved his hand, opened a portal, and ordered: "Sicarius, brothers, move everything away."

The Ultramarines worked together to move the crate into the portal and place it next to the soon-to-be-completed teleportation array.

Ren was about to follow in when he suddenly remembered something.

I promised Mark's entrustment to take care of his illegitimate son, but it has not yet been fulfilled. The address given by Mark seems to be not far from the port.

After talking to Sicarius, Ren walked out of the warehouse alone and activated the invisibility ring.

Walking through the port in stealth, you enter a remote alley not far from the pier. There is a stench from the ditch beside the road, and the low and crowded houses make you feel cramped. Most of the people living here are the poor and poor at the bottom of Kingsland. They don't have their own farmland, so they can only make a living by porting the docks or doing odd jobs in taverns and shops.

At the end of the alley there is a small courtyard with a single door.

Although the yard is only a dozen square meters, it is surrounded by walls and there are two narrow huts inside, but compared with other families on this road, the conditions are much better.

Ren floated and stood on top of the wall, observing the situation inside.

In the voice of all things, I heard a breathing and heartbeat, very powerful, much stronger than ordinary people, located in a corner of the room, breathing long, seems to be meditating.

This person should be Mark's illegitimate son.

Ren waited patiently for more than half an hour, and the people in the room finally moved, and finally walked out, holding a long sword, and began to practice swords in the yard. When he saw the appearance of the other party clearly, he finally understood why Mark was worried about this illegitimate child.

She was Mark's daughter, not his son.

From the appearance, this is a thirteen or fourteen-year-old girl, about 1.5 meters tall, with a figure like bean sprouts without any ups and downs. Her appearance is not good, her facial features are mediocre, but she has a pair of extremely agile black eyes. If you don't look at the appearance, but only look at the pair of eyes, you can feel an inexplicable surprise, and a refreshing coldness.

She reminded Ryan of Viola.

Viola is a half-elf, and the girl in front of her is also a half-elf; Viola's mother is a moon elf, and the girl in front of her seems to have moon elf blood.

I have to say, this is really a coincidence.

Her appearance was just a disguise, and her real appearance was no less than Viola's.

"How did Mark hook up with the Moon Elf?"

Ren muttered to himself, his soul eyes saw more information, maybe even Mark didn't know it, his daughter is definitely not an ordinary half-elf, there are secrets hidden in the soul, it seems that this half-elf doesn't know much about it .
