Chapter Seventy Three Sets of Armor
At the banquet, almost all of the upper-class celebrities in Fenghuacheng were present. The Earl of Fenghua was already seated at the main seat early on, and Yan Mengyun had been by her side all along. Although it was a banquet, the atmosphere was very solemn. All the participants whispered to each other about what this banquet was for, but no one knew.
Bai Cangdong sat beside Feng Xian, their positions were similar to Hua Qianwu and Ling Bo, all of which were relatively close to the position of Feng Hua Bo.
"Today, I invited everyone here because there is an important matter that I would like to announce to everyone." The Count of Windflower spoke up as he saw that all the guests had arrived.
Everyone in the crowd was secretly guessing what Earl Fenghua would announce, and Yan Mengyun becoming the young master of the earl's mansion had already become a fact, so it didn't need to be announced again. It must have nothing to do with this matter. Everyone couldn't guess what Earl Fenghua wanted to announce.
"Before I announce this, please take a look at these few things first." The Earl of Feng Hua clapped his hands, and immediately three maidservants pushed out three small carts. On top of the carts were silk covers, but it was unknown what was inside.
Three small vehicles were pushed in front of Feng Hua Bo, and Feng Hua Bo casually lifted the silk, revealing a dazzling array of colors that left everyone dazed.
Each small vehicle had a set of armor on it, from helmets, breastplates, war skirts, war boots, and gloves to rings, earrings, and necklaces. All were marked with the emblem of a viscount's golden armor, and judging by their style, they should be part of a suit from the same undead clan. Next to each set of armor lay ten martial crystal plates and one viscount-level undead egg.
"These things, some people have seen, some haven't. Let me introduce them to everyone." The Earl of Windflower pointed at the first small car and said: "This set of armor, I believe those present may have seen one or two pieces of it before, but I don't think anyone has seen a complete set. This is indeed the only suit of armor that can be dropped by the Eight-Eyed Heavenly King, including the main armor such as helmets and chest plates, as well as auxiliary armors like rings and earrings, plus a single Bixi sword, totaling 24 pieces, making up a complete Eight-Eyed Heavenly King set. Since I started hunting the Eight-Eyed Heavenly King, I don't know how many times I've killed it until I finally gathered this set about a year ago. If one person uses this entire suit of armor, they can gain two special abilities that come with the Eight-Eyed Heavenly King set itself. As for what these two abilities are, only its master has the right to know."
The Marquis of Fenghua pointed to the ten crystal martial arts boards beside him and said, "These are the ten kinds of Viscount-level golden martial arts I've collected, including body techniques, footwork, fist techniques, leg techniques, sword techniques, etc. Each one has its own special features. Although they may not be invincible at the Viscount level after mastering them, there are still few people who can match up to them."
Feng Hua Bo finally picked up the undead egg, stroked it and put it back on the cart: "This is the egg of Tiān Jūn with eight eyes, no need for me to say more."
Everyone's eyes were fixed on the things in the small car, and there were so many things in the car that many people couldn't get them even if they spent several lifetimes. If they were exchanged for life expectancy, they might be able to exchange for tens of thousands of years.
This is not over yet, Feng Hua Bo walked to the front of the second small car, casually picked up a crystal Wuji board and said to everyone: "The ten martial arts here are also carefully selected by me, which are completely different from the ten martial arts on the first small car, but they will not be inferior, each has its own characteristics."
"This set of armor comes from the Hellfire Messenger, with a total of eighteen pieces. Nothing else needs to be said, it's absolutely not inferior to the Eight-Eyed Heaven King suit by even a fraction. And this Undead Egg is from the Flame Cloud Valley's Fire-Tailed Beast, its rank is on par with the Eight-Eyed Heaven King."
The introduction of the Earl of Windflower caused another stir, and the things on the second small cart, although fewer in number than the first small cart, were not inferior to those on the first small cart.
"As for the third carriage's equipment and undead egg, I believe none of you have seen them before. This is because they were used by me during my viscount days. I can tell you that their value far surpasses the things on the first two carriages." The Earl of Windflower fondly stroked the items on the third carriage, a hint of a nostalgic smile appearing at the corner of his mouth.
The crowd was even more astonished, the armed and undead egg used by Viscount Feng Hua at that time were naturally not ordinary objects, and their value was probably higher than the things in the two small cars in front.
Everyone was guessing in their hearts that Feng Hua Bo had taken out so many precious treasures, what did he want to do? Was it going to be a reward for Yan Mengyun?
Thinking again, it doesn't seem right. If you want to give it to Yan Mengyun, you can just give it to her privately, and besides, one person like Yan Mengyun wouldn't need three sets of clothes.
"What is the Duke of Windflower trying to do?" The crowd couldn't guess the Duke's intention, and at the same time, they were all drooling over the things on top of the three small cars, hoping to get their hands on them.
Even Baekkyang-dong was no exception. If he had to collect the items on the three small carts himself, it would be unknown when he could finish collecting them. If he could possess just one set, his chances of being promoted to Earl would greatly increase.
"The reason I brought these things out is to find an owner for each of them." As soon as the Earl of Windflower spoke, the people at the banquet suddenly burst into a commotion.
But soon quieted down again, all those who had designs on the things on the three small cars stared at Count Fenghua with wide eyes and tension.
"Of course, something so precious can't be given away casually. The person I want to give it to is the Knight of Dream Cloud." Earl Fenghua finally revealed his intention.
"It turns out that the Earl is going to choose a knight for Yan Mengyun, no wonder he brought out so many good things. However, becoming Yan Mengyun's knight isn't bad either, not only can you get so many treasures, but also when Yan Mengyun becomes an Earl in the future, you'll be the Earl's knight, this is something that many people dream of."
Many viscounts looked at Countess Fenghua with hopeful eyes, hoping that she would choose them as the knights of Yan Mengyun.
Not everyone is like Bai Cangdong, who aspires to become an earl or even higher. In their opinion, being a viscount is already the pinnacle of life. After all, those who can be promoted to earl are extremely rare, and there is only one Earl of Fenghua in the entire city of Fenghua. They never thought that they could really be promoted to earl.
So, becoming a knight of the earl is undoubtedly a very good choice for most viscounts. It can break through the limit of life and get the help of the earl. There is nothing more wonderful than this.
Although Yan Mengyun is not yet a countess, Feng Hua Count has already said that he will use his life savings to help her become a countess. The probability of Yan Mengyun becoming a countess is extremely high, just looking at the many things Feng Hua Count can take out for her to select knights.
"Lingbo, are you willing to accept this set of Eight Heavenly King's armor and become the knight of Mengyun?" The first choice made by Fenghua Countess was surprisingly Lingbo, who was once a candidate for the successor of Fenghua City along with her.
"I'm willing." Ling Bo hesitated for a moment, then walked forward to receive the Eight Eyes Tian Jun suit and other things amidst everyone's envy. He then knelt down on one knee and presented his own life seal to Yan Meng Yun.
Yan Mengyun accepted Ling Bo's life-bound seal, and Ling Bo's title seal disappeared from then on. He became a knight and could no longer enjoy the glory of his title, but he also gained the power to share Yan Mengyun's glory.
In any case, most people at the banquet still envied Ling Bo. She originally had a low chance of becoming the successor of Feng Hua City, but now she has become Yan Meng Yun's knight and obtained so many treasures. In the future, there is also a possibility that she will be the earl's knight, which is also a very good outcome.
"Kazechi Mau, are you willing to accept the Hellfire Insignia set and become a knight of Yunyun?" The second person asked by Count Fenghua was Kazechi Mau. After Lingbo accepted the Eight-eyed Heaven King set and became a knight of Yunyun, many people had some guesses, and after hearing this, they didn't feel surprised either.
Huā Qiān's expression was quite complex, with a mix of unwillingness, resentment, and some delight. In the end, she let out a sigh, walked forward, took over the Hellfire Messenger suit, knelt down on one knee in front of Yan Mengyun, just like Ling Bo, offered her own life-bound seal, and became Yan Mengyun's knight, from then on, her life and death were all within Yan Mengyun's thoughts.
The people of the Huajia are more fortunate, as Hua Qianwu becomes the next knight of Fenghuacheng, which in itself is not a bad thing. More importantly, it signifies that Fenghua Earl and Yan Mengyun allow the Huajia to continue controlling the Baihuashanghui, and will not weaken their power. This is the best outcome for them.
Everyone's eyes were on Feng Xian, and the Marquis of Feng Hua had prepared three sets of armor to be bestowed upon the knights. The first two sets were given to Ling Bo and Hua Qian Wu, so it was likely that the last set was reserved for Feng Xian.
But Feng Xian's fate has been damaged, and it is unlikely that she will be able to make progress in the future. It seems that she is no longer a suitable candidate to become a knight of Yan Mengyun. Will Feng Hua really choose her?
Many people thought that although Feng Xian's life was damaged, she was in charge of the Wind Legion after all. Even if it was for the sake of the Wind Legion, taking her as a knight would be well worth it.
"Viscount Mask, are you willing to accept this armor and become the knight of Yunyun?" The gaze of Count Fenghua was directed towards Fengxian's direction, so everyone thought she was going to ask Fengxian, but Count Fenghua made a choice that shocked them all.
"I'm sorry, Earl. I can't accept your kindness and become a knight." White Eastern's response was just as unexpected as his immediate refusal.
