Chapter 120 The Conferment Ceremony
Although everyone at the Yingzui Cliff Advance Base was summoned, it seemed very lively, but in terms of the scale and the identity of the participants, Perficott’s Northern Territory The guardian canonization ceremony seemed particularly shabby and irregular.
According to the tradition of the Victoria Empire, this kind of canonization by one guardian should be attended by the Queen in person in the capital of the empire, in the royal palace, and the canonization document should be read out to make it formal.
Those who can participate in a canonization ceremony of this size should not only be important ministers of the empire, but at least nobles with distinguished status and titles.
But now, although there are many knights present, but in terms of nobles with sufficient status, apart from Perfectcott himself, the only one who came to read out the canonization document is the palace envoy himself. He also has a knighthood, which makes him a nobleman with some weight.
However, no matter how shabby or unruly the canonization ceremony is, as long as the canonization document is genuine, it will already take effect after it is read out in public, and it will have all the powers conferred by the laws of the empire.
Perficott also officially became the youngest guardian in the history of the Victoria Empire, possessing the power to expropriate the entire northern territory.
It’s just that for Purficott, life and death are really meaningless, and it is not the focus of her attention.
For this newly appointed Guardian of the North, what she is most concerned about now is how to advance her own plan and the northern development plan imposed on her by the Crisis Response Committee.
Although she had a complete enough plan for her original plan, after the Crisis Response Committee imposed a northern development plan, her original arrangements could be said to be completely disrupted.
Of course, during this period, Purficott also readjusted his plans to avoid as much as possible the negative impact of this so-called northern development plan on his own plans.
For example, the Eagle's Mouth Cliff Base was originally built as an outpost in the name of "Arctic Scientific Research" and was used to study topics related to survival in extremely cold environments. Therefore, the scale is not large. Even according to Perfico Special's plan will see expansion in the future, and it still won't be a very big town.
At least, its size is not suitable for use as the residence of the Northern Guardian, nor can it bear the function of serving as the future administrative center of the Northern Territory.
However, Purficott does not intend to change the original plan of the Eagle's Mouth Cliff Base, because even if she changes the plan, the terrain and resources around the Eagle's Mouth Cliff Base are not suitable for expanding it into a private building. Large towns with administrative functions.
In the future, the administrative capital of the northern border must be built in another place.
Fortunately, Purficott did not originally plan to build just one city, and the locations that had been explored before could now be put to use.
She plans to build a city with administrative functions to manage the entire Northern Territory, and it will also be a future transportation hub responsible for transferring native immigrants and support materials from the empire to other strongholds in the Northern Territory.
In addition, she also needs a fortress to station the army, factories to produce various products, and greenhouse farms to provide food...
According to Purficott's Planning, she will not concentrate all the urban functions needed to survive the future doomsday in one city, but will disperse them to several different cities, and then control these cities in her hands.
As for the northern development plan, she only needs to issue development documents, let those who get the documents to establish new settlements, and then obtain resources from these cities.
In this way, no city can exist alone and must rely on other cities. As long as Perficott controls these core cities, he can control the entire northern border. As for the Eagle Beak Cliff base, in Purficott's plan, the original design remained unchanged and was just adjusted into a research center.
After announcing his plan for the future of the North to everyone, Perficott said to Oliver, who had been waiting for a long time: "Mr. Oliver White, please come up. Come.”
Hearing Purficott’s call, Oliver hurriedly came to Perficott and knelt on the ground.
Perfect took out the ceremonial sword that she had just obtained, symbolizing her power to protect the North, put it on Oliver's shoulder, and then said loudly: "With the gift granted to me by Her Majesty the Queen, Power, I, Purficott Brandlis, Guardian of the North, Earl of the North, canonize Oliver White as the Knight of the North.
The whole father is the witness! I give you the sword not because I want you to kill with it, but because I want you to remember that you must be loyal to your country.
I give you the ring not because I want you to make a profit, but because I want you to use it to remember your noble status.
Now, I grant you my supreme trust. What you receive is not only supreme power and status, but also irreplaceable responsibility.
I hope you will fulfill your duties for the Victoria Empire and make your due contribution to the North! "
"I, Oliver White, hereby solemnly swear: Loyalty is my honor, and upholding 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 make money, but to fight against bandits for my beliefs. I dedicate my life to my country, my faith and my people. I swear this today and I will abide by it in this life. "Although he is usually a philistine fat man, on this solemn occasion, Oliver still said his oath very seriously.
Purficott tapped his shoulder twice with his sword, then handed the ceremonial sword to the old butler at the side, and then stretched out his right hand with a heraldic ring to Oliver.
Oliver knew what kind of character Purficott was, so he didn't look like he was crying with gratitude. He just kissed the surface of the heraldic ring very seriously, without even touching Purphycott. Kurt's hand.
Perfect was very satisfied with Oliver's recognition. He quickly withdrew his hand, used his heraldic ring to stamp the pre-written development document with fire paint, and handed it over. Gave it to Oliver.
Seeing this scene, everyone else present felt envious.
This is a pioneer knight, which means a territory that can be inherited. This is a great temptation for the nobles.
Even the palace envoy on the side couldn't help but said to Purficott: "Your Majesty, if possible, may I ask if you still lack courtiers?"
"Courtier?" I heard. Purficott was stunned for a moment by the palace envoy's question, but then nodded and said: "Although my old butler is loyal and trustworthy, I have to say that I really need an advisor who understands palace etiquette and aristocratic knowledge. Do you intend to give in? ”
