Chapter 201: Earl of Amethyst Rose

Since the reward is to be given, it is definitely best to give it directly in front of so many people.

In this way, all the subjects can know their generous reward to the meritorious officials, and secondly, it can satisfy the vanity of these meritorious officials and make them feel satisfied and proud.

So, in the hall, a grand award ceremony began.

The servants of Saint Gold Castle each held a tray covered with a red cloth, and carefully walked to the corresponding nobles who had been arranged before. After gently putting down the tray, they took off the red cloth to reveal the glittering gem equipment inside.

These gem equipment are carefully selected and made, and each piece exudes a charming light that makes people unable to look away.

Most of the gem equipment is made of forest green gems, which is also the only gem equipment that can be stably produced and sold in the Emerald Kingdom.

Due to its unique life properties and beautiful appearance, forest green gems have always been loved by people and have been active in the markets of several surrounding countries all year round.

A small part is gem equipment made of ruby ​​or sapphire. These two gems usually come from the Blazing Steel Kingdom and the Deep Blue Tide Kingdom, one of the four major kingdoms in the north.

The Blazing Steel Kingdom is a country known for its harsh environment and poverty, but it is also a major producer of rubies.

In addition to the magic ruby ​​dragon owned by King Belron Red Tulip, Zachary Blazing Gilded Dragon Knight and his ruby ​​dragon also play an important role in the Blazing Steel Kingdom.

Therefore, most of the ruby ​​equipment circulating on the market in the southern part of the continent is produced by the Blazing Steel Kingdom.

The Deep Blue Tide Kingdom is the country with the heaviest business atmosphere among the four major countries in the north, and it is also one of the important business partners of the Emerald Kingdom.

Currently, almost all sapphire equipment in the southern part of the continent comes from George Azure Heart Dragon Knight of the Deep Blue Tide Kingdom, and his contract partner is a sapphire dragon.

The prices of these two types of gem equipment are naturally higher than the forest emerald equipment produced locally.

However, the prices of forest emerald equipment in the other two countries are also high, so the overall value of the two is similar.

As the commander of this team, the Frostwolf Marquis's reward is naturally the most expensive.

What appeared before the Frost Wolf Marquis was a necklace inlaid with rubies. Unlike ordinary ruby ​​equipment, this ruby ​​was much smaller in size, and the color was more vivid and bright.

"What... is this?"

The Frost Wolf Marquis was also an old noble who had seen a lot. Naturally, he could see that this gem equipment was very different from ordinary ruby ​​equipment.

"Lord Frost Wolf Marquis, this is the magic ruby ​​necklace given to you by His Excellency the Grand Duke. Do you need me to help you put it on?"

The servant holding the plate asked the Frost Wolf Marquis.

The Frost Wolf Marquis waved his hands repeatedly:

"No, no, I can do it myself."

The servant nodded and then stepped aside.

The Frost Wolf Marquis carefully picked up the magic ruby ​​necklace that exuded a majestic magical aura from the plate, his eyes flashing with excitement and anticipation.

In this case, the necklace must be worn by him personally to better show his awe and endless gratitude to the Grand Duke.

Marquis Frost Wolf gently stroked the necklace, feeling the cold touch and the powerful magic contained in it.

He took a deep breath and slowly put the necklace on his neck.

When the necklace touched his skin, a burning feeling spread throughout his body, making him feel refreshed.

Marquis Frost Wolf closed his eyes and carefully felt this feeling.

"Is this the power of the magic dragon standing at the top of the kingdom?"

At this moment, he was in a very happy mood, and he was more eager for the power of the dragon.

At the same time, other nobles also received rewards from the Grand Duke.

Although these rewards were not equipment produced by the magic gem dragon, they were also valuable and precious gem equipment.

Marquis Daniel also collected the emerald gem ring and gold coins awarded to him.

But for him, these riches were not enough to make him excited.

However, this was only for him and several other marquises.

And other nobles, even including the earl, were ecstatic about this sudden wealth.

After all, for most people, these rewards are undoubtedly a huge fortune, allowing them to live a more comfortable and luxurious life.

"Okay, the rewards are over, and the triumphal welcoming ceremony is officially over! Next, I have to announce something."

Veronica stood on the stage, her voice as loud as a dragon's roar, spreading throughout the square.

Her eyes swept across the nobles and the people below the stage, and everyone felt her unparalleled momentum.

Veronica continued:

"Clober Amethyst Rose, you come forward."

There was a hint of unquestionable tone in her voice.

At this time, Veronica exuded an unparalleled majesty, and the word Grand Duke was perfectly embodied in her.

After hearing Veronica's words, Clober was stunned for a moment, and secretly wondered in his heart:

"No? When we discussed it at that time, we didn't say there was this plot?"

However, he did not show any hesitation.

An elegant smile quickly appeared on his face, and then he walked to the front of the stage without hesitation as Veronica requested.

He bowed slightly, saluted, and said softly:

"Your Excellency Grand Duke Veronica, Klober is willing to serve you."

Veronica raised her eyebrows and thought:

"Why do you know you are pretending to be good now? You were jumping around happily in my room these few days."

I don't know what she thought of, but a bright smile appeared on Veronica's face.

"Krober Amethyst Rose, 17 years old this year, with the strength of an earth knight, served as the Baron of Black Feather Island last year, and later discovered and conquered Amethyst Island, and became the Viscount of Amethyst Island..."

Veronica told Krober's life word by word, and faced the curious or puzzled eyes of the crowd, she continued:

"And just when I led the army to the expedition to the Mountain Copper Kingdom, my most trusted vassal, Krober, discovered three new islands and named them Salt Island, Scorched Earth Island, and Green Leaf Island. The total area has reached the minimum requirement of the Earldom..."

At this point, Krober seemed to understand the intention of Veronica calling him up.

"Here, in the name of the ruler of the Golden Grand Duchy, I promote Krober to the title of Earl, and with Amethyst Island as the center, I name the Black Feather Island, Salt Island, Scorched Earth Island, Green Leaf Island and other islands as the Amethyst Islands.

From today on, Krober Amethyst Rose, you are the Earl of the Amethyst Islands..."
