A farming master in Stardew Valley

Chapter 885 Viscount Lyon
"What did you say in the past?"

When Leon appeased Helena by using the sacrifice method of cutting flesh to feed the eagle and she returned, Abigail asked Leon the first question.

After all, Leon didn't hide when he went to find Helena, so how could she not see what was going on? It was just because they were a little far away and Leon blocked Helena's way, so she didn't know what Helena's expression and reaction were.

"Tell her we are leaving, and explain why we gave you some juice but she didn't." Leon explained.

"She's not angry?" Abigail asked.

"No, after all, you are the queen of the mermaid clan. You have seen all kinds of good things, so this is not a big deal for you." Lyon said.

"Yes, she is the queen."

Hearing this, Abigail's heart tightened and she muttered to herself, feeling quite complicated.

Sophia, who was listening in, also felt the pressure. After all, she initially thought that she only had to compete with Abigail, but who would have thought that there was also a mermaid queen who was incredibly beautiful.

Seeing the expressions of the two women, Leon immediately put his arm around one of them and hugged them in his arms and whispered: "It doesn't matter, she needs to stay in the ocean after all. Apart from occasionally seeing each other, I spend most of my time on land. Besides, you are no worse than her, not to mention the two of you, can't you beat her alone?"

Although what he said was a bit mean, Abigail and Sophia thought it made sense. They just felt that there was something else behind his words, as if Leon was hiding some unspeakable evil intentions.

Seeing that the two of them looked much more relaxed, Leon also said, "There's nothing else to do next. Let's go and see the celebrations in the outer squares. After all, the core area won't be celebrating the Summer Carnival."

"Yeah." Sophia and Abigail nodded at the same time, and then let Leon hold them and walk outside.

Rasmodesm and Linus looked at each other, shook their heads, walked around the three little guys and left quickly, obviously not wanting to be a light bulb.

But some people avoided Lyon and the other two, while others took the initiative to greet them.

“Leon, don’t leave in a hurry, I still have something to tell you.”

It was Duke Dress who stopped Leon.

"What else, bro?"

Leon let go of Abigail and Sophia, glanced at the smiling face of Duke Dress, and secretly wondered what this noble lord had in mind when he stopped him.

"Good thing."

Duke Dress raised his eyebrows, then took out a scroll inlaid with gold edges and decorated with a bow from his pocket and handed it to Leon.

After taking it, Lyon looked at Duke Dress, and at Duke Dress's signal, he untied the bow, opened the scroll, and began to read the contents.

After a moment, Leon withdrew his gaze, looked at Duke Dress and asked, "Am I a noble now?"

That's right, this scroll is a letter of commission and proof of identity. To sum up, the content above means that the royal family has granted the noble status of the Republic of Lyon Fingill with the title of Viscount.

And what's interesting is that if Lyon saw it correctly, the name of the awardee was just added and the ink wasn't even dry yet. It was obvious that the letter of commission was empty at first and was only added temporarily after Lyon's identity was confirmed.

This seems very informal, so Lyon asked this question.

"Yes, Viscount Lyon, you are now an honorary noble." Duke Dress nodded and shook Lyon's hand. "Except for the lack of fiefdom, from now on, all the benefits a viscount can enjoy will be yours. However, it is a pity that the title is not hereditary."

"So casual? A letter of nobility commission is all it takes, no investiture ceremony or anything like that?" Leon couldn't help but grumble. "Keep it simple. And I don't think you'd want to kneel before the Queen. I don't really like that anyway," Duke Dress explained quietly.

"Forehead."

Lyon didn't know whether he should agree with Duke Dress. He was indeed reluctant to kneel, even on one knee.

But this is not convenient to say. After all, it would seem disrespectful to say it out loud, and it is not appropriate for the Duke to talk about the Queen behind her back.

But Leon also had other questions to ask to divert this awkward topic.

"Did the royal family make this decision because I received special care from the church this time?"

"That's partly the reason, but it was mostly the idea of ​​Earl Squirt and me. Earl Squirt and I witnessed the ceremony between you and the bishops together before, and we felt that you deserved this honor.

The royal family and the nobility may have certain privileges in the Republic of Fingir that seem somewhat unique, but this is also due to the influence of historical heritage and our own efforts.

And we are not social parasites who only know how to enjoy ourselves. Every noble and royal family member will use their inherited family wealth and social connections to carry out various work that is beneficial to the development of the country and contribute their own strength.

Therefore, even in modern society, the royal family and the aristocracy are an indispensable part of this country.

However, some fallen nobles failed to fulfill this responsibility and were removed from the list, so we also need to add some suitable new nobles to ensure this tradition and the prosperity of the country, and set an example to encourage the people to continue to strive.

Earl Squirt and I feel that you are more suitable for this position and responsibility than those who have been stripped of their noble titles and identities. Furthermore, your relationship with the Church will become a link and hub for us to strengthen our cooperation with the Church, and it has great representative significance."

Duke Dress answered seriously and sincerely.

"I'm just a farmer, and I have no way to interfere with the church's decision. I'm just lucky to be a participant in this church ceremony." Lyon reminded.

"Yes, but he is also a professional farming master who dominates activities around the world and a top farmer who consistently produces high-quality crops, isn't he?" Duke Dress retorted.

"Being a leader in an industry is already an exceptional achievement. Furthermore, your relationship with the church isn't as ordinary as you claim. After all, I've never seen a farmer preside over a ceremony alongside bishops and even be entrusted with the responsibility of overseeing a single guardian network. If it weren't for the fact that the highest honor you brought this time was only viscount, Earl Quest and I would at least grant you the status of earl."

"That's too much of an exaggeration, Duke Dress." Lyon waved his hands, obviously not believing Duke Dress's flattery. He felt that there were some other considerations involved, so he asked directly without any hesitation.

"As a viscount, what can I do for the royal family?"

"Not for the royal family, but for this country and this world," Duke Dress corrected him. "Continue to develop your farm and cultivate more high-quality crops for sale. That's what everyone wants to see. As I said, the responsibility and significance of a noble is to set an example for the people of this country."

"Really? For example, leave some extra mature high-quality crops for the royal family?" Leon lowered his voice and whispered in Duke Dress's ear.

But Duke Dress firmly shook his head and rejected the idea. "There's no need to treat us specially. We are just citizens of this country. We will purchase the high-quality crops we need from formal and legal channels, and we can do so in a completely transparent and open manner."

Lyon was actually quite surprised to hear this. The nobles and royal family of the Fingir Republic were quite different from the nobility and royal family he had in mind. They seemed to be similar to the church, and they all had a majestic and upright image.

The nobles did not trample on the people and enjoy the life of a superior person, but planned to fight on the front line as a role model!
The church does not collect money to punish "heretics" to establish religious worship, but quietly maintains the stability and peace of the world.

Is this world so harmonious, friendly, prosperous and united?

Were they supposed to say that all Western countries were capitalist? Why is this getting more and more red?
