"Damn it, isn't it my business again." Seeing the chief attendant cast his gaze on him, Lawrence suddenly felt that his head was bigger than Dou. Even if oneself is now an extraordinary person unique in this world, at the same time, it is very likely that he is the protagonist of this world in the eyes of some extraterritorial observers. But this frequency of things is really crazy.

But since many things have happened, they can only respond positively, so Lawrence soon adjusted his mood. Sure enough, when everyone was about to enter the hall a few minutes later, the attendant stopped Lawrence with a smile on his face and signaled that he had something to say to him. Upon seeing this, Lawrence stopped immediately.

"Excuse me, do you have anything wrong?" Lawrence asked, with some drums in his heart, silently praying that there would be no bad news for him at this time.

"Well, there is actually no special news." When the chief attendant heard Lawrence's question, he immediately stretched out his hands to signal him not to be nervous, and then said. "However, there may be some differences between the contents of the previous notice when it is canonized for a while. You just need to do what the Emperor said."

After saying this, the head waiter found that his words might cause ambiguity, so he quickly comforted him. "But you can rest assured that things will be much better than expected. It is not a bad thing."

After listening to the chief attendant's words, the gilded door of the hall opened. Lawrence walked into the hall with the flow of people nervously. But because of the delay just now, when he entered the hall, there were already many people standing there.

Fortunately, everyone's standing position was determined in advance according to the title, so it didn't take much effort for Lawrence to find the empty seat arranged for him and stand on it. Because the earls are considered high-ranking nobles, Lawrence ranks fifth among the forty or fifty quasi-nobles waiting for canonization in the hall today, second only to a duke, a marquis and two earls.

After everyone stood up, the attendants on both sides of the hall simultaneously blew the trumpets with flags. Then Emperor Joseph I walked out of the door behind the throne and stood on the platform where the throne was placed.

Unlike the old man next door at the private ball before, Joseph I today feels extremely majestic. He was wearing a blue dress with gold edging, and his back was draped in the same color, with a cloak trimmed with snow-white animal fur. Wearing a crown studded with various gems on his head, he also holds an equally gorgeous scepter in his hand.

Even without any magic, Lawrence could feel the strong sense of oppression radiating from him. Needless to say, this set of equipment on Joseph I was 100% top-level magic props. He can definitely be worthy of his identity as an imperial emperor with a long history and inheritance for hundreds of years.

"Very good, I am very happy to see you here today. You are all very good people. In the future, you will also be very good imperial nobles and become the pillars of the empire." After the emperor stood in the center of the platform, he moved from the left. Going to the right, I scanned the whole hall once, and then started the speech.

The lecture time was not long, and the lecture ended after only seven or eight minutes. When the speech was over, all the quasi-nobles waiting for canonization all put their right hands on their left chests and bowed in respect. After everyone straightened up, Joseph I walked down from the stage and passed in front of the queued people waiting for canonization, patting them on the shoulders from time to time for a few words of encouragement.

The emperor came to Lawrence standing in the center of the first row first, and then spoke very gently. "Mr. August, I think we have met once before."

"Yes, my majesty." Although he doesn't know what the emperor is doing with this, Lawrence still stands upright according to etiquette, and then hangs his head slightly to show respect to the emperor.

"Very well, although you did not grow up in this country, you did not even receive any help from this country when you were growing up. But you still made great contributions to the entire civilized world in a foreign country. At the same time, I heard that the motherland met In times of crisis, respond to the call from the blood and return to your hometown to bravely fight against those evil enemies. This not only reflects your personal excellence, but also shows the outstanding side of the imperial aristocracy—"

His Majesty the Emperor praised Lawrence for a while. On the one hand, Lawrence was the one who achieved the greatest achievement through self-struggle among the people waiting for canonization. On the other hand, although he had always been a foreigner before, he was quelling the rebellion In the process, he made great contributions and maintained the stability of the country and the emperor's rule. Therefore, the emperor needed him as an example to inspire the people's enthusiasm for loyalty and patriotism.

"Thank you very much for your compliment, my majesty." After the emperor had finished speaking, Lawrence once again bowed with his right hand and pressed his left chest, while still feeling a little excited in his heart. After all, the person who is speaking to himself is the highest leader of a country anyway, and it is normal to be praised in person by someone with such an identity and feel the glory in his heart.

After complimenting Lawrence, the emperor started talking with other personnel one by one and praised them from time to time. The great thing is that the emperor with so many people present can accurately tell them the best places of each person. Therefore, the expressions of excitement appeared on everyone's faces, and even some young low-level aristocrats were so excited that they couldn't even speak.

After greeting the people on the field, the emperor stood back on the stage. Then a few priests, wearing silver goblet holy emblems with golden sun on their chests, walked onto the stage from the side. These pastors are from the Church of the Noble Goddess, and they are required to be witnesses when canonizing the nobles.

"Your Majesty, the canonization can officially begin." After everyone was standing, the priest whose costume should be the archbishop walked to the emperor's side with a book with a gold-encrusted gemstone cover in both hands and said. The emperor nodded, and then slightly raised the scepter in his hand.

Suddenly, dozens of officers wearing gorgeous military uniforms and ceremonial swords on their waists walked in from the open gate, each holding a plate with a few things in their hands. And at the forefront of this team is the captain who just met. Soon, these people lined up to stand beside the people waiting for canonization, and the chief attendant stood on the side of the emperor.

Next is the core of the canonization ceremony, which is officially canonized. The order of this canonization starts with the highest rank, and the chief attendant first calls out the name of the canonized person. Then waited for the canonized nobleman and the officer who was holding the plate to walk one after another along the steps to the stage, and then the chief attendant took the plate in the officer's hand and began canonization.

Lawrence's position is very high~lightnovelpub.net~ so it only took a few minutes to hear the chief attendant calling his name. He immediately stepped onto the platform and stood in front of the emperor in accordance with the etiquette, and then fell on one knee in accordance with the etiquette.

The emperor stretched out his scepter and put it on Lawrence's shoulder, and then said very seriously:

"I gave you the sword, not to hope that you will kill with this, but to remember that you must be loyal to the country. I give you the ring, not to make you profit, but to remember your noble identity. .

Now, I grant you my noble trust. What you get is not only the supreme power and status, but the irreplaceable responsibility.

May you fight for the great ideals of the Holy Visby Empire and the gods! What my sword refers to is the direction you are heading."

Lawrence, who bowed his head and knelt there, solemnly swore:

"I, Lawrence August, solemnly swear:

Loyalty is my glory, and uphold justice is my mission. My honor is not to wear a crown, but to sacrifice my life for my country; my duty is not to seek money, but to fight evil for my faith.

I dedicate my life to my country, my faith and my people. Today I swear this oath, and I will abide by it in this life. "

At this time, the emperor gently stroked Lawrence’s back with the scepter in his hand, then lifted the shoulders on both sides of the scepter and tapped each of them. Canonized you as Earl of Sauer."

After speaking, the emperor put away his scepter and stretched out his left hand. Lawrence immediately took the emperor’s left hand with both hands and put his forehead on the ring on the emperor’s left hand and said: "I swear by everything I have here that I will be loyal to the Holy Visby Empire from now on The emperor who is loyal to the empire, fulfills all my obligations as a nobleman."
