The head of the Benson family, who was originally lying on the ground, began to tremble violently. Although he didn't know why, the duchy of Thunder would have to pay a huge price for what they did.
He couldn't imagine what would happen to the Benson family, who had brought the Duchy of Thunder to Bakong City.
"Guru Abel, I've asked Moreton, and he said you are here. I have something to announce here, so you don't have to come again!" Wizard Dunn said mysteriously.
Abel was stunned. What did he have to come to Bakong City to announce?
"Hoover, you can just stay here. You can notify the nobles in the city later. Wizard Lorenzo, you can announce it!" Said Wizard Dunn to head Knight Hoover.
"The George family of the Duchy of Carmel has a history of trading with the Orc Empire. They have traded large amounts of military and training resources to the Orc Empire. What they have done has caused great harm to the human race. They have betrayed their race. The human wizard union and the Kingdom of Saint Ellis have decided to abolish Algernon George's title of Duke and exile his entire family!" Said Wizard Lorenzo in a deep voice.
Head Knight Hoover and the head of the Benson family were both shocked. This punishment was unprecedented.
Nobles, especially those who had reached the title of Duke, had the right to be exempted from punishment. They could use large amounts of money to atone for their sins. This was the biggest privilege of nobles.
Today's punishment was to demote the King of the Duchy of Carmel, Algernon George, to a commoner. His entire family would be exiled to a desolate place near the Budapest Mountains.
If it was a powerful Knight or Wizard, they might be able to survive there. However, it was almost impossible for a commoner to survive in a place like that where spiritual beasts often appeared.
However, it was not surprising to hear that the punishment was betraying their race.
Betraying their race was one of the most serious crimes that could not be forgiven.
But now that the Duchy of Carmel had no royal family, where would the Duchy of Carmel go? Head Knight Hoover couldn't help but think about what Wizard Dunn said about taking over Abel's benefits. Could it be …
"Guru Abel, you have gained a large amount of military glory in the battle of the Miracle Wall. The Miracle Spirit has submitted your request to the noble management office. The King of the Kingdom of Saint Ellis, Ambrose, has granted you the title of Duke and the Duchy of Carmel as your domain!" Wizard Lorenzo continued to announce..
Both Head Knight Hoover and Head Benson had a strange look on their faces. They both thought of the same thing. The George Family had been exiled, and the Duke of the Duchy of Carmel had been vacated. However, Abel was given the title of Duke of the Duchy of Carmel.
There were too many things that did not make sense for nobles. First of all, the battle of the Miracle Wall was only known to the Wizard Union, so Head Commander Hoover and Headmaster Benson knew very little about this battle.
Head Knight Hoover was the only head Knight in the Duchy of Carmel, so he could not leave the Duchy of Carmel for long periods of time. Therefore, he was not very well-informed.
Therefore, he and Benson could not imagine what kind of military exploits were required to be conferred the title of Duke. It had to be known that being conferred the title of Duke was already the highest title that could be conferred. The next level was the title of Prince. Only a small number of royal families in the various empires had the title of Prince.
Since he was not a member of the royal family, Duke was the highest rank he could get. Unless he married a princess of the empire, he would never be promoted again.
Another thing that did not make sense was that there was not even a ceremony to grant a Duke title. It was just like a child's play.
Even King Ambrose of the Kingdom of Saint Ellis could not do anything about it. Was he supposed to hold a ceremony and make Guru Abel kneel in front of him and pledge his loyalty to him?
Abel's status as a Grandmaster Blacksmith was extremely high in the Holy Continent, and he had the full support of the dwarves. On top of that, his relationship with the elves was very ambiguous. Therefore, Emperor Ambrose was very worried about how to grant him a title.
Abel's status was very high in the Holy Continent. Although he was a wizard, according to the rules, he was not allowed to interfere with worldly affairs. However, his status as a Grandmaster Blacksmith was much higher than a beginner wizard. Therefore, wizards would always call Abel Grandmaster whenever they saw him.
In the end, King Ambrose had no choice but to listen to Prince Derek's suggestion and let the Wizard Union take care of the Duke title.
Abel wondered if he had heard wrong. He originally did not have much contact with the Duchy of Carmel, but the situation suddenly changed. The Duchy of Carmel had become his.
Although he was only a Duke, in the Holy Continent, Duchies with duchies were called kings. He had become the king of the Duchy of Carmel!
Wizard Zhou En looked at his junior and said with excitement, "Grandmaster Abel, you should know that military glory is the foundation of the human world. Countless knights and wizards have sacrificed their lives to protect the human world, and the humans have rewarded them with titles. Your military glory in the Miracle Wall is so high that you can only get a kingdom as a reward!" Wizard Zhou En said with excitement as he looked at his junior.
Abel couldn't help but shake his head, "Wizard Dunn, Wizard Lorenzo, this title is too much for me. I don't have any experience in managing a country, and as a wizard, I don't have much time to manage one!" Abel couldn't help but shake his head with a bitter smile.
"Guru Abel, a duchy like this is very easy to manage. Everything is managed by nobles. You just need to appoint the right nobles!" Said Wizard Dunn with a smile.
Abel didn't know. These duchies had existed for many generations, and their management was already set up. The king's main task was to deal with external affairs and to grant new nobles.
For example, the nobles in the Duchy of Carmel were in charge of their own domain. Every noble had their own knowledge and experience, and it was this inheritance that allowed the Duchy of Carmel to operate normally.
"Guru Abel, you might be the first king to be granted a title by the Wizard Union!" Said Wizard Lorenzo with a smile.
"The Benson family swears to the prestigious King Abel that we will always be loyal to King Abel and never betray him!" The head of the Benson family said loudly.
Abel couldn't help but sigh in his heart. This head of the Benson family was too good at scheming. No one in history had ever rejected the first person to pledge their loyalty. Also, the Benson family only wanted to betray the George family, so it had nothing to do with him.
Even Head Knight Hoover couldn't help but shake his head. He was deeply impressed by the head of the Benson family.
Of course, Abel wouldn't reject this kind of loyalty. It was not easy to control a duchy. With the Benson family's loyalty, it would be a great help.
"I accept the Benson family's loyalty!" Abel lowered his voice and helped the head of the Benson family stand up.
The head of the Benson family had a big smile on his old face. As the first family to pledge their loyalty to the new king, his position in the Duchy of Carmel would be very stable. Especially since he had brought the Duchy of Thunder into the Duchy of Carmel, it would no longer be a problem.
"Head Knight Hoover, please help me maintain the palace!" Abel said to Head Knight Hoover.
"I, Hoover, swear to the prestigious King Abel that we will always be loyal to King Abel and never betray him!" Head Knight Hoover knelt down on one knee and said solemnly.
"I accept your loyalty!" Abel said and quickly helped Head Knight Hoover up.
"Head Knight Hoover, you don't have to do this!" Abel said after helping Head Knight Hoover up.
Head Knight Hoover had a high status in the Duchy. They didn't need to pledge their loyalty to the king, and their status in the Duchy was almost the same as the king.
Head Knight Hoover's loyalty was the biggest support for Abel, who had just taken control of the Duchy of Carmel. It was also sincere.
