Krober slowly sheathed the sword in his hand.
His movements were gentle and graceful, and every detail was filled with a sense of noble ritual.
It must be said that during his time as king, his every move became more noble and elegant.
Just then, Krober suddenly recalled a distant memory.
At that time, he stepped into Saint Gold Castle for the first time and met Veronica for the first time.
The scenes in his memory gradually became clearer, and he realized that this was the same oath he had taken when he joined the Dragon's Breath Knights and first met Veronica.
Human history is long and diverse, and the oaths we take are therefore varied and different.
The oath that Nort just swore was a knight's oath that was quite popular in the southern part of the continent.
However, in this particular context, it seems somewhat out of place.
After all, it is a knight's oath. Although it can be used anywhere, it is definitely not as appropriate as the oath used exclusively by the nobles.
However, this oath was the one Kroeber used when he knelt on one knee and swore allegiance to Veronica.
Therefore, Nolte's oath would be more familiar to him.
At this moment, Krober's eyes fell meaningfully on Nolte.
Regardless of whether this incident was purely coincidental, Kroeber had already labeled Nolte as "thoughtful" in his mind.
"Well, Marquis Norte, as a reward for your loyalty, you can design your own dragon riding ceremony."
"I heard you're well versed in art, so you could arrange an art exhibition or a concert at your dragon riding ceremony."
"And in accordance with the sacred and ancient tradition, I will crown you a prince, and the title will be after the Tide Dragon."
"The rise and fall of the sea water during the day is called the 'tide', and the rise and fall of the sea water at night is called the 'tide'. Together, they are called the 'tide'. From today on, you are the third high-ranking dragon knight of the Amethyst Ocean Current Kingdom, the Tide King."
Nolte looked delighted and stood up with Krober's permission.
"Work hard, Tide King. We can discuss your fiefdom after you become a high-ranking dragon knight. Before you are promoted, you should stay on Ocean Current Island."
"yes!"
Nolte nodded. He naturally understood the meaning behind Krober's words.
He is not yet a fully qualified upper dragon knight. If any accident occurs, it will be a loss for the entire kingdom.
And according to what Krober said, the territory assigned to him should be quite far away, and it is very likely that it is not even within the scope of the Blue Sea.
Otherwise, Krober would not have required himself to have equal strength before he could go to the fiefdom to take up his post.
From this we can see that the fiefdom belonging to him should be surrounded by powerful enemies.
"Come on, follow me back to Yangliu Island."
"yes!"
————
Time passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye, three months had passed since Nolte successfully rode a dragon.
During this period, Nort Sea Shadow successfully advanced to the level of upper dragon knight with the supply of a large amount of resources.
During this period, he did not neglect anything else and was busy preparing for his own dragon riding ceremony.
Finally, this grand celebration kicked off amid people's anticipation.
On the day of the Dragon Riding Ceremony, the sun was shining and the breeze was blowing.
It's great weather for art exhibitions and open-air concerts.
Guests from all over the world flocked to the Royal Palace Square of Yangliu Island to witness this grand event together.
Among them, the most eye-catching is the delegation of envoys from the other six kingdoms.
They each represented their own country and came to congratulate the newly promoted superior dragon knight.
However, surprisingly, although these countries sent envoys, not many kings were present in person.
Only the Emerald King Alvis and the Blazing Steel Kingdom's King Baeron came together.
Other countries only sent a lower-rank dragon knight as an envoy in the capacity of a duke.
Such an arrangement is undoubtedly regrettable. Although it meets the requirements, for such an important occasion, the king's personal attendance can better demonstrate his respect and attention to Nort Sea Shadow.
In fact, this situation is normal.
First of all, every country faces a variety of affairs to deal with, especially right after the war, the post-war work is even more arduous.
In addition, all countries need to actively prepare for the upcoming battle to attack the Mind Flayer world.
Therefore, it was difficult for these kings to find time to go to Norte Sea Shadow in person to participate in the dragon riding ceremony.
Secondly, since the promoted dragon knights did not come from their own country, the kings naturally would not pay too much attention to it.
Moreover, isn’t this also a signal?
The current strength of the Amethyst Ocean Current Kingdom has already exceeded their tolerance limit.
There were three superior dragon knights, including that freak Clober, and that guy Alvis was almost determined to stand with Clober. This made those kings who had an average or even bad relationship with Clober feel a strong sense of crisis.
As a result, the kings began to contact and conspire frequently, trying to find a way to weaken Krobe's influence and regain their own power.
At this moment, the opportunity to jointly invade another world appeared, as if the world consciousness had specially given them an opportunity after learning of their inner thoughts.
In their eyes, the reason why Krober was able to rise so quickly was entirely because he conquered an entire alien world and won the favor of the world consciousness.
If they can do the same thing, they may be able to win more resources and support, and thus change the current situation where the Kroeber family is the only one in power.
Therefore, they see invading other worlds as a way to achieve their ambitions and goals.
However, these kings' knowledge of the other world was quite limited, confined to the world of Granzel they had visited.
In their minds, invading another world seemed easy.
As long as they enter, with the strength of the upper dragon knight, they can plunder resources at will and then return safely.
In this way, they can not only weaken Kroeber's influence, but also gain huge benefits, killing two birds with one stone.
This idea is undoubtedly too naive and narrow-minded, but it has become the driving force for their actions.
Therefore, these kings were full of expectations for the other world and couldn't wait to set foot on this mysterious land, show their strength, and get more benefits by the way.
There are many people who hold this kind of thinking, and Harold Lord of Bronze is one of the representatives.
He has always longed to conquer another world with his own strength and catch up with Krober.
Even though Krober had told him very clearly that the power of the mother race of the Mind Flayer was no weaker than any upper dragon knight, Harold still did not take the enemy seriously.
On this expedition, he decided to bring all the high-end combat forces of the Mountain Copper Kingdom, and take away all the dragon knights without leaving a single one.
