After agreeing to adopt the little guy, Veronica's mood improved a little.
"From today on, your name is Iger."
Veronica nodded the light brown griffin cub's head and gave it the name of its griffin companion who had died in battle.
Theoretically, after being promoted to a phantom beast knight, one can no longer make contracts with other phantom beasts, even if the phantom beast partner who fought alongside him has passed away.
But this does not include Dragon Riders.
After the dragon rider merges with the dragon, he himself has become a unique semi-magical creature, so if his fantasy beast partner dies, he can make a contract with it again.
But this is just a simple contract, and there is no such thing as breaking through with the help of a phantom beast.
To break through the fantasy beast knight is actually to borrow the magic power of the fantasy beast to transform one's own fighting spirit and body. As long as the transformation is successful, the knight himself can generate fantasy beast fighting spirit.
Therefore, even if the phantom beast dies, the knight can still maintain his combat effectiveness.
The same goes for dragons.
Veronica did not sign a contract with Eagle. She simply wanted to raise this little guy to commemorate her deceased partner.
Perhaps only when she completely lets go of the past will this new "Iger" get the chance to make a contract.
"I am pleased with your gift, Baron Krober. You have once again proven your loyalty and ability."
Grand Duke Veronica drew her sword and said to Krober:
"Now, kneel down before me."
Krober then knelt on one knee and accepted the honor with the ceremony of a knight.
"Krober Amethyst Rose conquered the Holy Beast Island, subdued the griffin, and expanded the Principality's territory.
Hereby, I grant you the title of Viscount, and you will have the right to create a new surname and the right to name the two islands."
Placing the sword on Krober's shoulder, Veronica recited the ancient oath of fiefdom.
"Now, Lord Krober, tell me what you will take as your new family name, and what you will name your two islands."
Krober looked up and said to Veronica:
"My beloved lord, I will use my newly discovered magic potion, Amethyst Rose, as my family's new surname. The newly discovered Sacred Beast Island will be renamed Amethyst Island, while the name of Black Feather Island will remain unchanged."
Grand Duke Veronica nodded:
"Very good. From now on, your titles will be Baron of Black Feather Island and Viscount of Amethyst Island. You must continue to respect my rule and uphold the dignity of the principality."
After saying that, Veronica tapped Krober's shoulder three times with the sword in her hand and handed Krober the Viscount Medal that had been prepared long ago.
"This is a magical piece of equipment. Engrave your emblem on it, and a new family, the Amethyst Rose Family, will automatically be added to the noble pedigree of the principality."
Veronica patted Kroeber's shoulder in encouragement.
"Practice well, Viscount Krober, strength is the most important thing."
After giving Clober earnest instructions, Grand Duchess Veronica talked to Clober about serious matters.
"Regarding your suggestion of banning the second New World exploration movement, I will order them to be prohibited from making ocean voyages.
But this is not because of your request, but because we are going to war soon."
After hearing what Grand Duke Veronica said, Krober felt terrible.
war.
For others, it may be a good thing, increasing fiefdom, gaining glory, and making a fortune.
But it wasn't a good thing for Kroeber.
He is currently only at the level of a great knight, and to the outside world he might still be considered a high and mighty noble.
If it really were on a battlefield with countries as the unit, the Great Knight would be only slightly better than the soldiers, cannon fodder and official knights.
At best, it can be considered an elite unit.
Although there is an unwritten rule among the nobles not to kill prisoners, this is not a reason for him to take risks.
Swords and knives have no eyes. Those murderous guys don’t care whether you are a noble or not. All they think about is killing the enemy, making meritorious deeds, and gaining titles.
The Great Knight might be able to protect himself, but there are certainly many risks involved.
"Your Excellency, who are we going to war with? The Tin Dragon?"
Krober looked around the Golden Duchy and found that there were no other enemies except the Tin Dragon in the west.
Since there are no enemies, who does the Grand Duke plan to go to war with?
Veronica turned her gaze to the north, which was the direction of the Emerald Kingdom ruled by her brother.
"It's not us. It's the Emerald Kingdom and the Orichalcum Kingdom that are at war. As a vassal state of the Emerald Kingdom, we naturally have to fulfill our duty and fight for our suzerain on the battlefield."
Krober understood after hearing this.
The Mountain Copper Kingdom, located northwest of the Emerald Kingdom, is a purely inland military country.
It is very powerful and has conquered several small principalities with its strong military strength. After annexing them, its overall strength now ranks among the top three among the seven kingdoms.
The Emerald Kingdom is a typical coastal commercial country with a large population, strong high-end strength and wealth.
However, due to the lack of unity within the kingdom and frequent internal conflicts, its overall strength is far weaker than that of the Mountain Copper Kingdom.
It is said that during the last great turmoil, the strength of the Emerald Kingdom declined all the way and almost fell out of the scope of the seven kingdoms, becoming the weakest kingdom.
Fortunately, Grand Duchess Veronica's brother, the contemporary Emerald King Alvis I, is wise and powerful.
He supported the collapsing building and turned the tide, and at the critical moment, he reorganized the country with his own powerful strength and iron-blooded means.
Externally, it engaged in diplomacy with the Chiliu Steel Kingdom, which was the second weakest in military strength at the time.
