This is a chalk palace located in the heart of the royal capital.
The chalk palace was more majestic and taller than any other building that Li Ge had ever seen, and it had a solemn feel, which was somewhat inconsistent with the royal palace in his impression.
In Li Ge's impression, the so-called royal palace should be a magnificent and magnificent palace. The chalk palace in front of him is more inorganic than gorgeous, somewhat similar to a steel fortress.
Sitting in the Franzel family's carriage, Rige was observing the palace through the carriage window while chatting with Yuli wordlessly.
"By the way, this is for you."
At this time, Yuli suddenly handed something to Li Ge.
That's a medal.
There is a sword engraved on the medal, which seems to be worn on the chest. The material is not ordinary metal, but some kind of rare magic metal.
"What's this?"
Li Ge looked at the medal and asked.
"This is the Order of the Right Swordsman."
Yuli answered Li Ge's question.
"The Medal of the Right Swordsman?" Li Ge was startled at first, and then said in surprise: "This is the Medal of the Right Swordsman? You actually gave it to me directly?"
The Medal of the Right Swordsman is the proof of being a right swordsman and is an honor pursued by countless swordsmen.
Apart from sword masters, regular swordsmen are the most respected and worshiped swordsmen in the world.
The highest-quality attendants that most magicians pursue are regular swordsmen. Even the kingdom and the knights of major nobles regard regular swordsmen as superior talents and backbone combat power. Many forces even want to join a regular swordsman.
No.
Just look at Yuri and you will know that as a strategic-level magician, she only has three attendants, Marilyn, Ain, and Ian, who are regular swordsmen. Needless to say, the rest of them are very good if they have one.
Therefore, many budding swordsmen take becoming a full swordsman as their first goal, and there are even many swordsmen who regard this as their life goal and work hard to train their sword skills in order to obtain medals.
Including Saint Nidor and Sorok mentioned before, the most important page of their life experiences has the item "When to obtain the Order of the Ordinary Swordsman and become an Ordinary Swordsman". It can be imagined that
How precious this thing is.
Under the Sword Master, the highest honor of a swordsman is that of a regular swordsman.
Naturally, there cannot be too many sword masters, so becoming a full swordsman is already the ultimate goal in many people's minds.
Now, Yuli gave the medal directly to Li Ge.
"No problem?"
Li Ge was worried.
"What's the problem?" Youli said calmly: "You are already recognized as a senior swordsman. In this case, it is just a matter of course that I award you the honor."
The Order of the Swordsman is something that can only be awarded by the lords of major territories.
As long as it is recognized by the lord and is considered to have the strength of a regular swordsman, the lord can confer a medal on it and award it with the medal of a regular swordsman.
As the Marquis of Franzel and the lord of the Franzel Territory, Yuri naturally has the right to award the Order of the Swordsman.
Of course, this thing cannot be awarded casually. If after it is awarded, it is discovered that the other party does not have the corresponding strength, not only will the person be punished, but the lord will also be held accountable.
But Li Ge is already recognized as a senior swordsman, so Yuri can naturally award this thing to him at will.
"You put it on first." Yuli said: "If you want to become a sword master, the first and most important condition is to hold the medal of a regular swordsman and get the title of a regular swordsman. This thing is a proof and a symbol of honor.
There are no other traps, just put it on and you can silence a lot of people."
Hearing what Yuli said, Li Ge thought for a while, and finally nodded and put on the medal.
Then, Yuli said this again.
"The one who summoned us this time is His Majesty the King himself. His purpose is also very simple. One is to confirm my status, and the other is to confer a knighthood on you and make you a noble of the Jinas Kingdom." Yuli said seriously
: "I know you want to refuse. In a public situation, His Majesty will not do anything to you because of it. Depending on various factors, he may even choose to take a step back."
With Yuli here, the king will definitely not force the palace from Li Ge.
And with people from the ducal faction eyeing his throne eagerly, the king also had to worry about pushing Li Ge into a hurry, whether he would directly turn to the ducal faction and go against the royal faction.
Coupled with Li Ge's own value, a senior swordsman and a tactical magician, the king definitely does not want to hate such a talent easily.
so……
"If you insist on refusing, the king will most likely offer honorary nobility as a compromise and make you nominally affiliated to the Kingdom of Jinas."
The honorary aristocracy that Yuli refers to is a kind of aristocracy that only has a name but no power.
The nobles of the major countries in the Akasha continent can be roughly divided into four types.
The first type is the territorial nobles, who own their own territory within the kingdom to which they belong, and usually take the management of the territory as their main duty, which is equivalent to that of a vassal.
The second type is local nobles, that is, nobles who assist the lord in managing the territory in major territories. They are generally vassals of the lord and are equivalent to local officials.
The third type is the court nobles, who hold positions in the palace. Their main duties are to handle major affairs of the palace and the royal capital, and are equivalent to central officials.
The fourth type is honorary nobles, who do not hold positions in the kingdom, but are nominally nobles affiliated with the kingdom. They can enjoy privileges and their obligation is to accept summons from the kingdom when emergencies occur and resolve some incidents that have a negative impact on the kingdom.
Compared with the first three types of nobles, the honorary nobles have less power, but they are relatively free, in order to win over those who do not like to serve in the kingdom, do not like to move in the circle of nobles, and do not like to be restrained.
.
"There are currently six sword masters in the Kingdom of Jinas, one of whom is an honorary noble. He travels around the kingdom and even outside the country on weekdays without any restrictions. He only appears when the kingdom is in trouble.
Only then will he accept the summons and eliminate the source of some catastrophic events."
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Yuli said this to Ri Ge.
"Once you insist on refusing, the king will definitely use the honorary nobility as a compromise, and on the condition that your freedom is not restricted, you will be nominally affiliated with the kingdom and will not be poached by other countries."
"Of course, the so-called unrestricted freedom is also relative. If you don't have the corresponding strength, the kingdom will definitely still summon you every three days and throw some incidents to you to solve."
"Only by becoming a sword master, the highest level swordsman on the Akasha continent with invincible individual combat capabilities, will the kingdom not easily use you and allow you to gain maximum freedom."
Yuli looked at Li Ge and smiled softly.
"Of course, the choice depends on you. I just want to say that no matter what you choose, I will support you."
Hearing this, Li Ge suddenly smiled and looked at each other with Yuli, saying nothing.
At this time, the Franzel family's carriage also drove into the palace and was let through by the guards stationed at the gate.
"Um?"
Li Ge noticed something was wrong and was suspicious.
"Have you noticed it?" Yuli saw the change in Li Ge's expression and said, "Do you feel depressed and feel like you can't use magic?"
Li Ge nodded.
After entering the palace, Li Ge immediately felt an invisible restraint, which made him seem to be suppressed by something invisible. It seemed that he could not use magic.
"This is the magic prohibition system that has been in effect in the palace all year round. Unless someone has obtained special permission to be released, no one can use magic in the palace." Yuli explained: "There is also a strategic level of protection in the palace.
The barrier will be activated immediately once it detects that there is external magic locking the palace and releases it with the palace as the target."
Yuli pointed in the air and motioned for Li Ge to look.
Li Ge looked up and immediately saw a layer of faint ripples moving there like water waves.
"That is the highest level defensive magic barrier in the Kingdom of Jinas - [Light of the Sky Ying]."
Yuli's voice slowly reached Li Ge's ears.
"The palaces of all the major kingdoms will generally be like this, setting up the highest possible protection system. The Kingdom of Jinas' [Light of the Sky] has also been famous in the Akasha continent for hundreds of years. Any magician
Facing this layer of enchantment, we can only look at the ocean and sigh."
Saying that, Yuli smiled at Li Ge.
"Now you know why I said that the sword master's intimidating power in front of the royal family is much higher than that of the strategic magician?"
Yuli smiled as if she was laughing at herself.
no way.
"No matter how high-level a magician is, once he enters the palace, he is just an ordinary person who cannot be more ordinary."
"Magic will be completely useless here, and only swordsmen will not be restrained."
"If those swordsmen use special-level sword skills, they will still be affected to some extent. At least they cannot use the power of special-level sword skills to release special power equivalent to magic outside the body."
"But apart from that, swordsmen are basically unrestrained. They can also show their strength by relying on their tyrannical physical strength."
Especially the Sword Master, as the highest-level swordsman in the mainland, has superb individual combat capabilities and is almost invincible in single combat. In a forbidden magic field like the palace, he can definitely show enough deterrence.
The kingdom can't even bind people's bodies and prevent them from moving, right?
Therefore, in the eyes of the rich and powerful whose residences have a sufficiently high-level protection system that can protect against most powerful magic, a swordsman who can move freely and rush back and forth is undoubtedly more threatening than a magician.
"If you want the kingdom to not have any influence on you and gain maximum freedom, becoming a sword master is undoubtedly the best choice."
After Yuli said this, she changed her tone.
"Okay, we're here."
The Franzel family's carriage slowly stopped and stopped in front of a palace.
Li Ge, Yuli, and Marilyn got off the carriage one after another.
"Let's go and see His Majesty."
Yuli's tone became slightly indifferent, and she led Li Ge and Marilyn into the palace.
