Rise of the Dark Witch

Inside Okomen Castle.

This thick castle made of huge boulders with almost no windows seemed extremely dark even in broad daylight.

In the vast hall.

All the people with status and status in Silla Town came.

Everyone looked straight ahead, where the head of the Okomen family, Baron Luke, was.

Luke turned his back to everyone and stared up at the wall behind him.

On the wall directly in front of the hall, there is a huge bear skin hanging that can almost cover the front wall when spread out.

The bear skin of the top-level Warcraft mountain bear!

Four hundred years ago, the first-generation head of the Baron Okomen family, the Great Knight Orm, killed the top-notch monster Mountain Bear that was ravaging several villages and towns, and was rewarded by Count Naranja.

A baronetcy!

And the fiefdom of Silla Town!

For hundreds of years, all members of the Okomen family have been proud of their Aum ancestors.

The same was true for Luke in the past, until now——

He has surpassed the first baron!

Luke turned around and stared down at the excited faces below who couldn't hide their inner smiles.

He was smiling too.

Although the wolf disaster caused heavy casualties, even his father, Baron Horn, died at the mouth of the Demon Wolf King.

But he was still smiling.

He believed that if his father could predict the future, he would definitely follow the same path without hesitation for the sake of the family's prosperity, even if it cost him his life.

because--

Luke is no longer Baron Luke O'Korman, but Viscount Luke O'Korman!

This wolf disaster made the Baron Okomen family rise to become a Viscount family!

Four hundred years ago, he obtained the title of baronet. After four hundred years of struggle, he finally took a step further and became a viscount in Luke's generation.

After becoming a Viscount, he received a large amount of money, territory and other rewards.

After he ate the meat, he naturally wanted to give soup to his little brother below.

Luke sat in the main seat and said in a loud voice, "Giroux Okomen."

"exist!"

A man who looked somewhat similar to Luke walked out quickly and knelt down in front of Luke.

Luke pulled out a ceremonial sword and put the blade on Giroud's shoulder, "Girou Okomen, you have been working diligently for the Okomen family over the years, and you responded promptly when the wolf disaster struck. Carter City invites rescue..."

After reciting all of Giroud's achievements.

"I grant you the title of baronetcy."

"I will give you Sangbo Town as a fiefdom."

"And thirty thousand gold coins, three thousand rolls of cloth, fifty servants, thirty pairs of leather armor..."

Finished.

A servant came over carrying the baron's mark and the deed of the fiefdom.

Knight Giroud took these things excitedly, "Thank you, Lord Viscount Luke!"

Luke nodded and asked Knight Giroud to step back.

"Bate O'Komen."

A young man under thirty years old, wearing leather armor and carrying a long sword, came out and knelt down in front of Luke.

This is Luke's younger brother who is seven years younger. In fact, his talent is much worse than Luke's, and he is still only at the peak of a quasi-knight.

It stands to reason that with Bet's ability, being awarded a knighthood would be enough.

However, as the one with the closest relationship to Luke, he received a baronetcy in the eyes of everyone's envy.

After Bet stepped back, everyone was tense before Luke spoke again.

As a newly promoted Viscount, Luke could only create three barons.

Second uncle Giroud and younger brother Bet already occupy two, so what about the third one?

Immediately consecrate the third baron?

Or should we keep the baronetcy temporarily and wait until we meet the right person before canonizing it?

Eyes fell on Luo Ya. If anyone could have this honor, it would be Luo Ya.

really.

"Derry Ketri."

Luke read out the name of Roya's father, Derry.

Rewarding titles is not a matter for one person, but for the entire family.

Although it was Roja who made a huge contribution, when the reward was received, it was the head of the Kaitri family in Delhi who stepped forward to receive the reward as a representative.

When he heard Luke read his name, Derry, who was wearing the most solemn black suit, looked extremely nervous.

After Roya pushed hard behind him a few times, Derry staggered to Luke and knelt down in front of him.

After Luke finished saying a lot of polite words.

"Grant you the title of Baronet."

"I will give you Nange Town as a fiefdom."

"Reward fifty thousand gold coins, five thousand rolls of cloth, one hundred and twenty servants, fifty horses..."

The rewards this time are particularly large.

But no one present had any complaints, because this is what it should be!

Roya was a great knight second only to Luke in strength, and he played a huge role in the wolf disaster. In the end, he even dragged Luke, who was seriously injured and passed out, on foot for hundreds of kilometers back from the Yakara Mountains.

If Luke does not confer a baron title, not to mention Roja will be dissatisfied, everyone else will be dissatisfied!

Deli walked back to the crowd in a daze, holding the baron mark and the territory contract in his hand. Roya called him several times but did not respond.

Luke then went on to canonize others.

…

at night.

In the outer castle of Okomen Castle, piles of bonfires several meters high were burning.

Thousands of people sang, danced and roared with excitement around the bonfire.

The aroma of food fills the air.

The aroma of fine wine drifts in the wind.

The entire Okomen Castle seemed very lively, and there was a happy atmosphere everywhere.

Roja walked among the crowd, eating barbecue while looking around.

When the people around him met Roya, they just stopped and said hello to Roya respectfully, and did not pester Roja.

In fact, many people swarmed towards Roja at the beginning.

Some invited Roja to visit their home later, some introduced their daughters to Roja, and some prepared to give things to Roja...

Dozens of people were chattering around Roja.

After all, Roja is the new baron and an extremely powerful knight.

And he's still young, only eighteen years old.

Who doesn’t like this kind of unmarried young talent? Who doesn’t want to please?

At first, Roja talked to them politely, declined their invitation tactfully, and tried his best to get rid of their entanglement without offending anyone.

However, the number of people pestering Roja not only did not decrease, but also continued to increase.

Forcing Roja to no longer be able to maintain his gentle image, and after getting angry several times, they left reluctantly.

But in a blink of an eye, they became entangled with Roya's father, Delhi.

Unlike Roya, Delhi enjoys the feeling of being touted.

After Roya glanced at his father Delhi, who was chatting and laughing in the crowd, he shook his head and walked towards the person he wanted to see.

Roya stopped in front of a burly man with a big beard.

Looking at the man's empty right arm, Roja said: "Captain Lei Lun, how do you feel about the banquet?"

Captain Lei Lun laughed loudly, put his arm around Roja's shoulders and said, "I thought you would forget about us old guys now that you have become a Baron."

"How could it be? And I'm not a baron. The baron is my father." Roya patted Captain Lei Lun on the shoulder. "From now on, just call me Roya as before."

"Haha, then I'd rather be respectful than obey."

"What are you going to do next?"

"In the future? I won't be able to be the captain of the garrison. Fortunately, Viscount Luke rewarded me with a lot of money..." Captain Lei Lun stroked the little head of his twelve-year-old daughter Maggie beside him, "It will be good to live a good life with my family in the future. of."

Captain Lei Lun broke his right arm and his strength was greatly reduced.

Otherwise, with his strength and contribution, he will definitely be able to obtain a knighthood.

It will definitely not be like now, just getting some money.

Captain Lei Lun looked at his daughter's face dotingly. Wasn't it a face of self-abasement?

This wolf disaster should have been the best and last opportunity in his life, an opportunity to obtain a title and a fief.

It's a pity that he didn't grasp it.

But even so, he was much luckier than those who died in the mouths of hungry wolves.

But is he really willing?

Roja looked at Captain Lei Lun and said: "Our fiefdom, Nange Town, is a remote place with a vast territory and sparse population. There are many beasts and monsters running rampant, and there are many thieves hiding there."

"We have just become a Baron family and there are too few people we can trust."

"I wonder if you, Captain Lelan, can come and help us?"

"Use your experience to help us train guards, organize guard teams, hunt wild beasts, kill monsters and destroy thieves, and help us manage our territory?"

There was nothing in front of him, but when he heard Roja's last words, Captain Lei Lun's face suddenly froze.

Because these words of Roja are obviously implying that Captain Lei Lun wants to give him a knighthood and make him a knight!

What he thought he would never get in this life is now in front of him?

"This this……"

Captain Lelan's hands were trembling, and his lips were moving.

He wanted to say the words "I do", but because he was too nervous, he couldn't say it after opening and closing his mouth for a long time.

Roja asked the servant to bring two glasses of wine.

He took one cup and handed one cup to Captain Lelan.

"Captain, if you are willing, drink this glass of wine with me."

Boom!

The wine glasses collided, and the two drank the wine in one gulp boldly.
