As a class that has existed since the birth of mankind, the existence of the nobility is naturally reasonable. At the same time, most individuals of the nobility themselves can be regarded as relatively outstanding among human beings. In the darkest ages, it was precisely by relying on
Such a group of talents have led mankind to resist the invasion of other races and develop to this day.
But the problem is that with the passage of time and the development of productivity, the traditional power represented by the nobility has gradually become outdated, and has even dragged down the development of the entire human race.
Under such circumstances, many nobles naturally chose to follow the trend of the times. They chose to embrace new historical development opportunities and a new world. And this change also allowed them to successfully stand at the forefront of mankind as they did in the past. After all, and those
Compared with ordinary people, once these nobles with rich heritage transform, they will often be at the forefront of the crowd in the new era.
But not all nobles can make the right choice. For example, the nobles who participated in this rebellion are those who are not enterprising and oppose the progress of the times. They always want to go back to the past so that they can
It is as easy as in the past to seize or even monopolize profits without thinking about adapting to the development of the times.
"——You must remember that nobility is not just an honor or a title. It is also a responsibility." In the etiquette training center on the third floor of the Heraldry Academy, a ceremonial officer belonging to the royal family stood on the stage.
Said to the quasi-nobles who will participate in the canonization ceremony three days later. Lawrence was listening carefully in the crowd.
"Nobles did not exist in the world at first, but as some people mastered extraordinary power and became the sharpest swords and strongest shields of mankind, nobles also appeared. In other words, their appearance was partly due to their
Strength, on the other hand, is because of their contribution.”
"Just like the motto of the Court of Arms, the nobility will last forever." At this point, the etiquette officer looked seriously at the people listening to his lecture and said word by word. "But the nobility here only refers to the nobility."
Humanoid, but it is not certain who is a noble. Therefore, those who want to rely on their merits without making progress will soon be eliminated from the ranks of the nobles."
Lawrence and the classmates who were listening to the class all had serious faces, straightening their backs like soldiers, putting their hands on their knees and listening to what the etiquette officer above was teaching. In fact, these things were a kind of ideological education, used to inspire those who
The nobles' sense of honor and loyalty to their country and emperor.
I have to say that this etiquette officer is very eloquent, but unfortunately the people sitting here are not the new people who have just received honors and been promoted from civilians to aristocrats. The people here either grew up in aristocratic families and received a lot of this kind of education.
People. Or people like Lawrence who have seen too many similar things and are not interested at all.
So although the etiquette officer above the children's stage was frothing at the mouth, and the students below were shouting slogans from time to time and seemed very excited, Lawrence could feel that the students next to him were actually very calm inside. It was not like that
He showed so much enthusiasm.
After completing this routine work, the real etiquette training begins. However, considering that the others are from noble backgrounds, they have learned these etiquettes since childhood. Therefore, after half an hour of special training, the etiquette officer began to go alone
Train the only thorough civilian here, Lawrence. Fortunately, as an extraordinary person, Lawrence can learn very quickly.
Three days later, Lawrence arrived at Schönbrunn Palace early in the morning. As the most important palace of the royal family in the capital, this is the place where government affairs are handled and some major ceremonies are held here.
It may be to save money, or it may be to help the citizens get over the shadow caused by the last rebellion. The traditional canonization ceremony of only one person at a time in peacetime suddenly became a collective canonization.
You should know that this kind of collective canonization usually occurs before a war or after a war is won. And this kind of war is often a large-scale war against the enemy. Counter-insurgency wars like this kind generally do not count.
But this counter-rebellion is different from the previous ones. It can be said that after the failure of this rebellion, most of the previous obstacles on the imperial reform route have been successfully removed, and the entire country is about to enter a new era.
era. From this perspective, the collective canonization ceremony is not something that cannot be accepted.
The canonization ceremony started with the canonized people parading through the streets on horseback. All of them were dressed in classical aristocratic attire from two to three hundred years ago, and rode horses in ceremonial armor along the street in front of the palace in the direction of the palace.
These ceremonial armors looked very similar to the horse armors used by heavy cavalry in the past, but after riding on the horse, Lawrence discovered that these armors were purely made of very thin copper sheets and were covered with various beautiful carvings for decoration.
The relief pattern was finally plated with a layer of silver.
Only in this way can the fancy horses used by the royal guard of honor, which are not even capable of carrying people on their backs and run fast except for their good looks and being well-behaved enough, can move normally on their backs.
Because Lawrence's title in today's canonization ceremony was neither high nor low, he was not conspicuous at all among the crowd. In this way, he arrived at the square in front of the palace smoothly.
It was very similar to the Forbidden City in Lawrence's previous life. They all had to dismount their horses at the square in front of the palace, and then walked all the way to the palace gate from the road exposed in the center of the palace guard queue of more than 1,000 people.
When the first noble to participate in the canonization ceremony came to the front of the queue, all the members of the guard stood at attention and raised their guns in salute. At the same time, a military band at the end of the queue began to play a cheerful march.
Lawrence and the others naturally walked quickly towards the palace to the rhythm of the march. During the march, Lawrence carefully observed the square that was the most intense battlefield a week ago. It turned out that it had been completely renovated.
Even the nearby building that was blown up because it was used as a rebel artillery position is now blocked by several large pieces of canvas with patterns on it to prevent others from seeing this slightly embarrassing scene.
Different from attending the dance before, this time Lawrence and the others entered from the main entrance of the palace. After following the chief attendant of the palace who led the way, they walked into the palace, and some palace guards who were obviously extraordinary people came to them.
, requiring them to hand over their weapons.
After feeling the aura of these palace guards, Lawrence was surprised to find that these outermost guards were all formal extraordinary beings. You must know that the people in charge of many grassroots religious places are only formal extraordinary beings.
But it’s right to think about it. As the royal family that has controlled this country for hundreds of years, it naturally has enough resources and power to cultivate extraordinary people and master a powerful extraordinary force. Otherwise, it would be impossible to maintain several powers under the combined influence of internal and external troubles.
Not to mention a hundred years ago, they even successfully counterattacked and regained their homeland a few decades ago.
Of course, everyone who can come here is not a fool. Naturally, before coming here, they put those things that may be taboo in a place where they can feel safe, or entrust them to someone they feel safe about. So when the guards asked, everyone
Showing that he has nothing on him.
In fact, the guard's questioning was just part of a symbolic ceremony. The real inspection had actually been completed before: when entering the door, Lawrence felt that there were several obvious magic powers that scanned all of them who entered.
It should be to check for any dangerous goods they may be carrying.
But just as they entered the waiting hall, an attendant suddenly walked in from a nearby door and whispered something in the ear of the chief attendant who was leading the way. Then the chief attendant cast his gaze on Lawrence
