Chapter 540: Talent Despite the exhaustive efforts to get there, to be precise, because of the desperate situation in Nurin Province, many roads have been blocked, and this blockade is not a blockade in the literal sense, but a real blockade.
Panin was a madman, and in order to completely block the route of attack of the steppe people, even if it was only a possible route, he ordered almost the area west of Mulan City in Nulin Province to be turned into a construction site.
On many roads, many trenches were dug, and even some roads beside the slopes, in order to completely block the possibility of marching, Panin ordered the bombing of the mountain, causing a landslide and blocking the road.
Therefore, the result was that the knighted team from the imperial capital missed the New Year's Eve, and when they arrived at Chen Daolin's territory, it was already the third day of the New Year.
As for Rose, of course, he doesn't care too much, anyway, he has already been to the northwest once this year, and for this Count of Villa, seeing Chen Daolin is not something to be excited about, that guy is a big trouble.
And the responsibility of his trip is to knight this guy.
Well, nominally a knighthood, in fact, it is to force him to defend the Northwest Fortress.
Rose didn't like to do this kind of thing to persecute his friends, so he preferred to go slower.
He even fantasized that before he arrived at Chen Daolin's doorstep, the orcs had already moved south and captured the northwest fortress.
That's the best-case scenario, Darling Chan doesn't have the title of damned baron, he has no responsibility, and he can retreat with his men and horses and retreat behind Panin's defenses.
Unfortunately, this assumption did not materialize.
Even if you measure inch by inch with your footsteps, there will always be a time when you finish the road.
Chen Daolin was still a face-saving person, and he personally led the team to Rova City to greet Rose.
This face is for his good friend Rose, of course.
Externally, it can be claimed to be to give the emperor's face.
What others say Chen Daolin doesn't care.
He didn't plan to completely tear his face with Shiloh right now.
Although he was forced, the title of the baron was also what he wanted.
It's not a bad thing to be able to control the territory in your hands justifiably.
With the addition of a legitimate hereditary nobleman, he really doesn't have to care too much about Shiloh in the future.
Even if there is a saint-level master in Xiluo, the nobility is also an aura for him, even the emperor cannot deprive a legitimate nobleman of his rights and interests at will, which will cause unease among the aristocratic class.
As for the people who came with Ross to the Temple of Light, especially the Archbishop.
To be precise, Chen Daolin hasn't figured out what attitude to use to treat him.
In terms of identity, Chen Daolin considered himself the identity of the high priest of the Peerless Martial Saint Sect.
It should be of the same level as Pope Heynckes.
It has the status of a rivalry.
An archbishop who believes in a goddess has come to bless me Guan Erye still refused Rose was greeted outside Rova, and the two good friends warmly hugged each other, and then exchanged a few pleasantries.
Rose asked Chen Daolin unkindly: "Rodelle still lives with you" Chen Daolin grinned: "I want you to take care of it" Rose rolled his eyes: "I'm afraid you won't be able to handle it." ” Chen Daolin spat: "That's Lao Tzu's problem." ” But Ross's next sentence made Chen Daolin directly coaxed.
"I heard that you are going to marry that duchess" Chen Daolin suddenly became half shorter: "You, where did you hear about it?"
"That's a lot of gossip."
Ross smiled: "The empire also has dark information on the Tulip family's territory, and it will always receive a lot of interesting messages.
Hearing that the duchess was going to get married, and probably to you, Shiloh probably hadn't slept well for several days. ” "So he made me a baron" Chen Daolin rolled his eyes: "If you want to win me over, a baron must be too unproductive." ” "Directly sealed your duke.
Then give you Panin's place, can you sit still."
Chen Daolin thought about it, and took Paning's place and sat in the northwest.
Majestic, very majestic.
But then he directly pushed himself completely to the opposite side of the tulip family and confronted that terrible woman, so it was better to shake his head quickly "Speaking of which, Panin is really kind."
"Yes, it's kind of to go against her."
The two friends sighed shamelessly for a while.
In a carriage not far away, there was an impatient cough.
The archbishop has been waiting in the carriage for a long time.
But Chen Daolin chatted with Rose.
But he never had the intention of coming to see the ceremony, which made the archbishop anxious. coughing so much that he was about to vomit blood, Chen Daolin finally turned his head sideways.
Cast a look at Rose.
Rose couldn't help but smile and nodded, Nunu mouthed.
Chen Daolin sighed.

These church guys really like to put on a show so much It is reasonable to say that Chen Daolin does owe a great favor to the Temple of Light.
When he was in the imperial capital, he was saddled with the status of a fugitive, and it was the church that sheltered him and helped him escape from the area.
The most powerful team around him now, Montoya and Ade, are all abducted from the church.
Now that the Church has sent an archbishop to the northwest, he should give some face.
In fact, the archbishop himself thinks so.
So he never got out of the carriage, but sat in the carriage, waiting for Chen Daolin to come over to see him.
It's a matter of decency, but also dignity.
In particular, it is necessary to judge Chen Daolin's attitude towards the church through this point.
If he's arrogant, then Fortunately, Chen Daolin is not shameless to that extent.
After a slight groan, Chen Daolin still took a step and walked towards the carriage.
After standing firmly, he spoke aloud outside the carriage in a very polite tone: "Professor of Magic of the Academy of Magic, Baron Rova, Darling Chen, come to meet the pious servant of the goddess, Cardinal Archbishop of the Temple of Light" When Chen Daolin said this, he suddenly turned his head and glanced at Rose.
Rose immediately understood, and said silently, "Sinclair." ” "Ahem, Cardinal Archbishop Sinclair."
The Archbishop Sinclair, who was sitting in the carriage, finally breathed a long sigh of relief in his heart.
It's okay, this Darling Chen.
It's pretty good on the road Not only on the road, but also smart.
Because when he reported to his family, he only mentioned his title of magic academy and noble title, and did not mention the title of high priest of the Peerless Martial Saint Sect, so as to avoid some embarrassment.
This is because there has always been an extremely embarrassing phenomenon in the Roland Empire: although the empire has legislated, it has explicitly allowed the legitimacy of the existence of other religions from a legal point of view.
However, the teachings of the Temple of Light have always preached that only the goddess is the only true god, and all gods except the goddess are false gods and evil gods, and they are all heretics that must be eradicated and purified In a simple sentence, the doctrine of the Temple of Light can be summed up simply: one attitude toward the heathen.
Elimination is either spiritually eliminated or eliminated from above, and there is no other palliative attitude Therefore, along the way, Sinclair herself is also repeatedly struggling with what attitude she should use when facing this Darling Chen.
If the other party showed his identity as the high priest of the Peerless Martial Saint Sect as soon as he came up, then it would be tantamount to tearing his face, and there would be no room for everyone to meet at all.
As an upright Archbishop of the Temple, his only attitude towards the infidels was to order his accompanying Holy Knights to draw their swords and eradicate them In that case I don't think I have a chance to return to the imperial capital alive If the other party reveals the identity of the infidel.
And if he is indifferent, then after returning to the imperial capital, it will be a huge blow to his status and prestige in the church The only way is for everyone to pretend to be confused.
Thankfully, fortunately.
This Darling Chen is still on the road, and he didn't force himself to have no way out as soon as he came up.
In an instant, Sinclair felt a little more confident about the task of his trip to the northwest.
Chen Daolin's attitude is very kind.
He was very friendly and politely invited the archbishop to get out of the carriage, and the two sides greeted each other with the same courtesy.
Chen Daolin greeted Archbishop Sinclair with his hard work along the way.
He also greeted His Majesty Pope Heynckes, who was far away in the imperial capital, for his good health.
The diplomatic rhetoric was very skillful.
Sinclair, an old fritter and old god who has been messing around in the church all his life, is also very good at this kind of vain words, and everyone is very happy to see each other.
Then Chen Daolin invited the other party to stay and rest in Rowa City.
The residence of the consul of Rova has been requisitioned.
In fact, if there is anyone in the entire northwest who is most eager for the imperial capital's knighthood to arrive early, it must be said that it is this consul of Rova City.
The consul had originally been a small player in the northwest, living in a small remote border town like Rova.
When Chen Daolin came here with people last year, this guy was very smart and didn't make any trouble for Chen Daolin, Chen Daolin also went on the road, his territory was not too far from Rowa City, and tens of thousands of people ate, drank, and lazard, and daily purchases brought huge income to Rowa City.
Naturally, the consul's private pocket was much richer.
All along, the Archon thought that the Darling Chan wizard was simply the loveliest person in the world.
Bringing so many people, adding so many taxes to oneself, especially private individuals, also collecting so many benefits.
I never make trouble for myself on weekdays.
And with Chen Daolin's men here, the security of Rowa City is countless times better than before Although those disciples of the Peerless Martial Saint Sect who are running around are preaching everywhere, and making noise in the city and countryside all day long is a bit of an eyesore, but people are also happy to give money The archons of Rova City, from top to bottom, who have not received benefits The father and son of Baron Pierre, under the command of the Darlingchen magician, are simply the most popular guests of Rova City But in the winter, things started to go wrong The news of the orc invasion is no longer just a rumor on paper, but a different fact And the Northwest Independent Division was taken away by the Tulip family, and the barrier in front of the city of Rova disappeared in one fell swoop Although this Darling Chan magician seems to have some ability, he repelled an attack by the orcs.
But no one really dared to believe that this magician could become everyone's protector After all, his strength is too weak, compared to the orcs Therefore, the archon of Rova City could not sleep almost every day, for fear that if he woke up, the orcs would already be in the city When he received the news that His Majesty Shiloh, who was far away in the imperial capital, had given the city of Rova as a fief to the Darling Chancellor, the first reaction of the consul was not to be annoyed that he was about to lose his job, but to excitedly set off fireworks in his mansion for the night Got drunk Great, great, great In this way, he can step down With the money he has made in the past year, he will return to the imperial capital to report on his work, and he no longer has to stay here and be afraid every day, for fear that he will be cut off by the orcs one day So when he heard that the emperor would send a team of knighted envoys to the northwest, the consul simply counted the days with his fingers on his fingers every day cursed more than a hundred times in my heart: These old men from the imperial capital, if you go faster, you will die Therefore, when Chen Daolin finally came to the city of Rova and arrived with the imperial capital's envoy team, the consul put on a brand-new official uniform and greeted him at the gate of the city with a guard of honor, welcoming these nobles to his mansion all the way.
In fact, three days ago, he had already packed all his family and funeral rites, six carriages, with all his net worth and the wealth he had earned for many years as an official in Rova City, waiting for the new baron to take over Rova City and complete the handover himself, and immediately patted his ass and went back to the imperial capital.
Everyone came to the mansion in the city.
Chen Daolin and Ross were still chatting, discussing what day to choose for the knighthood ceremony, how to prepare for it, and so on The consul couldn't sit still.

What else is discussed It's not negotiable "That baron, Lord Earl" the consul said solemnly: "The soldiers and civilians in the city heard that the baron is going to be knighted, and the people in Rova City are excited, and they can't wait for this day to come early, so all the preparations have been made for the knighthood ceremony, the ceremonial platform has been set up ten days ago, the honor guard is all ready, and it has been rehearsed more than a dozen times, and all kinds of ritual utensils have been purchased, as for the day."
Speaking of this, the consul exclaimed: "This afternoon is good, in despicable opinion" Ross was overjoyed, stood up and walked over, grabbed the hands of the archon, and shook it vigorously: "Talent, Your Excellency the Archon is simply a talent, these cumbersome things, originally I still had a headache, I didn't expect you to have all done a good job of Darling Chen, I think such talents, there are few in the imperial capital, this Rowa City can't imagine that there are such outstanding ruling talents, I think even after you are knighted, this Rowa City still needs to have a consul appointed by you, this kind of talent, you must not let go" "You, your sister," the archon was stunned, and scolded with grief and indignation in his heart.
Chen Daolin had already looked at it with a smile: "Yes, yes, I don't know this lord, are you willing to continue to do things under me, I think you are the most familiar with the affairs of Rowa City."
Well, you won't look down on me Darling Chen, don't you want to play for me" To be continued. “”:
