These viscounts gathered around to congratulate Mu En, and it was very lively for a while. "Isn't this our Marquis Muen, who has been in the limelight recently? Haha, congratulations!" A rich male voice rang, and the people around Muen heard this voice and took the initiative to get out of the way. Mu En looked at the visitor and saw that he was actually a grand duke. The other party's title was one level higher than his own. It stands to reason that these dukes would rarely attend a marquis's investiture ceremony. He quickly nodded and saluted the visitor. "Duke Edward! I didn't expect him to come too. How could he attend the investiture ceremony of Marquis Muen?" People around him were talking a lot, and Muen also learned the identity of the visitor in time from their discussions. Duke Edward? Mu En's heart skipped a beat. It seemed that the person who came here was evil. He still clearly remembered that he beat the other party's son severely in Milan. The other party showed up at his investiture ceremony, so of course it was impossible for him to do it for him. Congratulations. The other party was here to cause trouble. Thinking of this, an unpleasant feeling came to Mu En's heart. "It is my honor for Duke Edward to come to witness my conferment." Muen said to Edward. Hypocrisy is also one of the rules of survival in the aristocratic world. "I hope! I hope! Haha." Edward laughed sinisterly, and everyone in the hall could hear a hint of meaning in his tone. A subtle atmosphere appeared in the hall, and the originally enthusiastic nobles suddenly became silent. Compared with the upstart Mu En, Edward became the second noble of the Deep Blue Kingdom by virtue of the underground passage. It was clear at a glance who was stronger and who was weaker, and Edward was even more It was an obvious expression of ill will towards Mu En. These snobbish nobles are not willing to be worried about Edward just because they are trying to show their favor to Mu En. The world of aristocrats has always been so snobbish. Most of the nobles who came later were marquises. These marquis are in the core circle of the kingdom's power and are naturally better informed than the minor nobles who came before. He knew a lot about the little things about Mu En and the Edward boy. As soon as they saw Edward appearing at Mu En's investiture ceremony, everyone knew what was going on. They were unwilling to offend the powerful Edward, and all of them behaved lukewarmly in front of Mu En. In the end, there were only a few familiar friends standing beside Mu En: Kaili, Passat, etc. It was these people who did not make Mu En feel the loneliness of fighting alone. Mu En looked at Edward and her heart was filled with hatred. This damn guy, his son is a loser, and I am also a troublemaker. Seeing that there were only a few people around Mu En, Edward was very happy. He came here to avenge his son today. Not only that, he also wanted Mu En to not even be a marquis! Alfred did not keep the invited nobles waiting. Alfred quickly came to the hall. The king frowned at the uninvited Edward, but he did not say anything. Alfred asked Munn in accordance with the rules: "Now that you are granted the title of Marquis, are you willing to swear to receive this title and protect the deep blue country?" Just as Munn was about to answer, Edward stood up and shouted: "Wait a minute! This boy How can a little kid under the age of fourteen be granted the title of marquis? I think it is best to discuss this matter in the collegial panel of nobles." As soon as this statement came out, everyone was in an uproar! Edward openly contradicted and questioned the king's decision. What kind of trouble was this? Alfred frowned deeply. Does this old boy Edward really think that he can challenge the royal family just by relying on an underground passage? Alfred cursed secretly in his heart. How dare you question my decision to my face, damn you! Elliot, who was behind Alfred, looked at Mu En who was at a loss and felt secretly happy in his heart. He had long heard that Mu En maintained a good relationship with his eldest brother and third brother, and they had all benefited a lot from this kid. He didn't have any, which made him unhappy with this kid for a long time. This is the time to add insult to injury. Elliot moved closer to Alfred: "Father, you see that this Munn is too young, and the Grand Duke strongly opposes it. If we forcibly confer him a Marquis, I'm afraid it will be difficult to convince the public, and it will also damage the majesty of our royal family. , how about" Alfred was furious. After hearing what Elliot said, he turned back and glared at the second prince, blocking his words: "Idiot, shut up!" The king sighed inwardly, this second prince sighed in his heart. In terms of skill and knowledge, he is far inferior to the boss and the third child. At this moment, he can't even see the situation clearly because of some personal emotions. It is difficult for such a person to handle state affairs! Alfred looked around at the group of nobles in the hall, nodded towards the helpless Mu En, and gave a reassuring look. The king¡¯s attitude made Mu En feel sad.?Wei Nuan has a good impression of this king who is nearly sixty years old but still energetic. No matter what the other party's purpose is in praising him so much, this kindness is true. Alfred shouted at Edward: "What are you talking about? As the supreme leader of a country, am I still unable to do what I say? This matter does not need to be discussed again!" The other nobles in the hall were shocked when they heard this. Although the king has arbitrary power, the king will seriously consider the suggestions made by the duke. But now the king's words clearly support Mu En, and he does not hesitate to offend Edward. Could it be that Mu En is his illegitimate son, and he is so favored. Edward was stunned when he heard this, but he was not willing to watch Mu En take over the Marquis. He still vividly remembered the tragedy of his youngest son returning to the family: "Nobility is the foundation of Deep Blue. Since the founding of the country, unless we have laid down the foundation for the country, Huge credit, otherwise it will not be awarded lightly. This guy has been promoted to three levels in a year. Could he have saved the country? " Edward wanted to say more, but Alfred waved his hand impatiently: "Hey, Deep Blue. Since the founding of the country, our royal family has always been fair. Now I will tell you about Mu En¡¯s achievements and let you see whether such a young and handsome man can be a marquis!¡± After a pause, Alfred listed Mu En¡¯s main achievements. One by one they spoke out: "Not to mention the many, last June Mu En discovered a passage to the underground world, but it was not like some people were hiding it, but it was provided to the royal family, so that I could Everyone coveted the entry into the Deep Blue Kingdom; in October last year, it was Mu En who single-handedly saved Ukbai County from resisting the barbarians and relieved the county from danger; more than two months ago, Mu En entered the Deep Blue Sea all over the world. We have annihilated nearly a hundred magical ships under the command of the pirate commander Herman; we have recently contributed the design drawings of a powerful new battleship to the Deep Blue King, allowing our Deep Blue to have a powerful new battleship; in the past month, we have been able to do so smoothly The complete eradication of the Mandala cult is all due to the detailed information provided by Mu En. If Mu En is not the Marquis, who else in the Deep Blue Country has the qualifications?" As the achievements came one after another, the nobles in the hall suddenly started talking in surprise. They really couldn't understand how such a young man could accomplish these great achievements. "Underground passage, has the royal family also discovered the underground passage? Now Edward is looking good!" "Ah! You don't know? I have long vaguely heard that the kingdom has withdrawn most of its power from the northern border to develop the underground world. , I just didn¡¯t expect that Mu En discovered the underground passage. What a lucky guy.¡± The nobles who can come here are all human beings. They know that the value of an underground passage in the hands of the royal family and in the hands of Edward is completely different. Yes, this is also the reason why Edward was unwilling to share the underground passage with the royal family in the first place; the royal family that has mastered the underground passage will surely take off again, leaving the Edward family far behind. In recent years, Edward's family power has greatly expanded by virtue of his exclusive access to an underground passage. He is known as the second noble of the dark blue family. In many public places, he vaguely compares with the royal family and does not take the royal family seriously. Now, when the royal family¡¯s strength increases, it¡¯s time for Edward to suffer. "New type of battleship? What new type of battleship? Is it more powerful than 'Deep Blue' and 'Sky'?" "I don't know. Many people know this news, but no one knows what the new type of battleship is like. I just heard that It's very different from the previous battleships, and it's very powerful. " "Yeah. I didn't expect that it was this Mu En who did it. You said that my son is also thirteen years old, but he only thinks about those at home all day long. Maid, one of the maids got pregnant last month, how come the gap is so big? " There is no doubt that these merits are enough for Mu En to be promoted to Marquis. Even Edward did not expect that Mu En could do it. These things. The low whispers of the nobles around him made Edward feel more upset, and his hatred for Mu En was even worse. The news that the royal family controlled an underground passage made him even more upset. He knew it better than anyone else. What the royal family could gain from the underworld. Edward was shocked and angry, and could not refute for a moment, so he could only snort: "Huh! Now I can only congratulate Marquis Munn. I have something important to do, please forgive me and leave first!" "Haha, Edward, if you have something to do, please leave first. ." Alfred looked at Edward's expression and felt secretly happy. Edward left, and the investiture ceremony could finally continue. The entire hall suddenly became lively again. Alfred's introduction gave these nobles a better understanding of Mu En, and they all wanted to make friends with this young upstart who had repeatedly performed miracles. . Edward is reading out the conferment documents. Compared with the conferment documents of baron and viscount, the document of marquis is several times longer. This is because of the doubling of powers and responsibilities. No sound, a whole bodyThe figure in black robes appeared in mid-air in the meeting hall, as if he had been there all along; the appearance of this figure made the originally bustling hall suddenly quiet. Everyone looked at this man eagerly, but his scarlet eyes quickly locked onto Mu En: "Are you Mu En?" "Who are you?" Alfred spoke first, There was panic, caution, solemnity and doubt in his tone. This is the palace! (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature, the novel will be better and updated faster!
