"Boss, why did you bring me here? Is there really a place like Iron Will Fortress?" John glanced around, feeling a bit uneasy.
The hall was built of white marble, adorned with exquisite stone carvings, and the garden was filled with wild lilies. Such a magnificent place seemed too grand for a fortress.
Redman chuckled at his young companion, forgetting that John was just a fourteen or fifteen-year-old boy. "This is the estate of Marquis Duvas. Don’t shake your head; just take a look around."
Upon hearing the name, John paused for a moment before realizing it belonged to the Governor of Blink County. Could it be...?
"Boss, the surprise you mentioned earlier isn't..."
"That's right," Redman said with a grin. "I'm taking you to your knighthood ceremony, my Knight John Steve."
This was not just John's knighthood ceremony; it was his official investiture.
As they stepped into the grand hall, they were greeted by beautiful murals hanging on both sides, illuminated by candles that hinted at their long history. Surrounding them were windows made of blue, yellow, and red crystal, and the golden dome above sparkled brilliantly, almost blinding.
At the center of the hall sat a noble dressed in splendid attire, his armor etched with countless golden stripes that clearly indicated its value. His face was perfectly symmetrical and handsome—John couldn't help but think of a word when he saw those eyebrows and that mouth.
With a clang, Redman placed a one-handed sword against his neck and then tapped it lightly on John's shoulder. "Look at me, look into my eyes."
John struggled to maintain his composure, thinking of the saddest moments in his life; he couldn't help but smile at the sight of Redman's face. "Don't laugh," he thought to himself.
"I am Merlin Duwasi, Marquis Duvas, Governor of Blink County, Captain of the Royal Guard of Hecha Kingdom. Today I bestow upon Redman White the title of Baron and grant him the territory of Binhai Town. I also knight John Steve and grant him the territory of Salty Fish Village."
"May Justice Trinity bestow upon you courage, loyalty, strength, and fairness."
"I, Redman White, in witness of Justice Trinity, pledge my loyalty to Marquis Duvas. From this day forth, the will of Marquis Duvas shall be my guiding principle; wherever my sword points shall be my path forward."
"I, John Steve, in witness of Justice Trinity, pledge my loyalty to Marquis Duvas. From this day forth, the will of Marquis Duvas shall be my guiding principle; wherever my sword points shall be my path forward."
Both completed the investiture ceremony without error as Marquis Duvas helped John to his feet.
The remaining matters were none of John's concern; he understood that he was merely a bystander, quietly watching Raymond show off.
"Ha ha, Redman, you are truly young and promising. I remember the last time I saw you was at the Noble Youth exchange meeting two and a half years ago, when you broke through to become a Transcendent."
Marquis Duvas chatted with Redman in a familiar tone, as if speaking to a younger acquaintance. The higher-ups treated him like an old friend, but Redman dared not overstep. "My lord, you jest! There is still a vast difference between me and the children of the Duvasse Family. Your eldest son, Wadashi, achieved Transcendent at such a young age; I am far from his equal."
Ignoring their insincere banter, John focused on the career template he had obtained.
