Chapter 1036 - 612: Celebration, the Belief of the Territory’s People, and Duke Kane!_2
Within Kane Castle, Lis looked somewhat helplessly at Taya, who was helping him dress up.
Taya now wore an elegant red gown, perfectly outlining her graceful figure.
Lis had originally planned to appear in his Mage Robe, but Taya vehemently refused.
Simultaneously, Taya took out dozens of sets of luxurious outfits from her storage ring, clearly tailored to Lis’s measurements.
Lis understood that in any world, girls take considerable effort when dressing up, as evidenced by him changing over ten outfits just to choose clothes.
Even the usually shy Risa was standing beside Lis with a silver-gray dress in her hands, eager to try it.
Seeing this, Lis could only close his eyes helplessly and let the two fuss over him.
After another half-hour, Taya and Risa finally nodded in satisfaction, and Lis, looking at his refreshed self, quickly praised:
"This set is great, let’s go with it!"
"Isn’t it? I thought so too."
Taya nodded with a "not surprisingly" look of satisfaction on her face.
Looking at the "handsome and dashing" Lis, a blush crept up Risa’s pretty face as she nodded approvingly.
"Then I’m off!"
Lis gave Taya and Risa a kiss and left with a smile.
...
At the bustling square, people eagerly awaited the Lord’s appearance.
Noises and clamor were incessant.
Buzz~
Suddenly, a ripple enveloped the entire square.
In an instant, the whole square fell silent, no matter how wide they opened their mouths, people could not make any sound.
What happened?
Zhao Zhao thought something was wrong with his hearing, but he could still faintly hear the distant sea waves and seagull cries.
He instantly realized something and opened his system panel.
---------------
Ding~
[You are affected by Lis (LV?)’s [Silent Barrier] (Legendary Rank) effect!]
[Judgement failed!]
[You have entered [Silenced] status!]
(Duration: ?)
---------------
Lis is about to appear!
Zhao Zhao quickly sent a virtual message to Mo Yun, then eagerly watched the center of the square.
At that moment, a figure dressed in light white and pale blue attire appeared there.
As he appeared, the eyes of everyone involuntarily gathered on him.
Although he emitted no particular aura, everyone felt as if they were seeing a grand giant, towering over the ants from the pinnacle of life level.
This brought considerable pressure to everyone in the square, probably even without a silence barrier, no one would dare speak now.
Zhao Zhao held his breath as he looked at Lis from not far away.
This is obviously just in a game, why do I really feel a great sense of oppression?
Is this what a legend is?
So powerful!
Zhao Zhao looked with awe at Lis in mid-air, in that moment it was as if he had truly seen Lis himself.
Lis looked at the silent crowd below, nodded slightly, and said:
"My friends, my subjects, I am Lis Kain."
"Today, I stand here as the Lord of the Luou Peninsula, and above all, as the Guardian of this territory. After countless challenges and trials, I have finally earned the name of Legend, this glory belongs to the Kane family, and to everyone on this land."
Lis’s tone was quite calm, yet everyone listening felt like they had been blessed by an Encouragement Technique, their spirits rose tremendously.
"This honor, like brilliant stars, illuminates our shared sky.
Powerful strength is like a double-edged sword, granting me the duty of guardianship while also burdening me with a heavy responsibility. As I advance on the path of Magic, I will also build an unbreakable magical barrier for this land.
At this moment, offer your loyalty to me, and I swear by my honor, I will protect this land forever, until the end of time."
Boom!
As Lis finished speaking, people realized they could now make sounds normally.
Instantly, thunderous applause and cheers erupted in the square, many subjects even knelt with the most sincere posture, offering their allegiance and admiration to this Legendary Mage.
For ordinary people, the stronger the Lord, the more peaceful their lives will be.
And for Lis to become a legend was undoubtedly the best thing for them.
After all, over the past few years, people’s lives truly improved substantially, and hence their trust and reverence for the Lord was not even slightly insincere.
The players mingling with the crowd, upon witnessing this scene, inexplicably felt a surge of excitement and couldn’t help joining the cheering players.
Lis was now in mid-air, feeling the sea of excited people below.
At that moment, traces of special power appeared in the square, rapidly spreading and growing stronger.
This special power was invisible to the people, but Lis could see it clearly.
Is this the Power of Faith?
And the target of this faith is me?
Lis was somewhat surprised, not expecting such an occurrence at today’s celebration.
The appearance of the Power of Faith meant that many people already regarded him as an object of faith.
For a Legendary Strongman to embark on the Path to Divinity, the Power of Faith is essential.
However, Lis wasn’t very interested in the Path to Divinity at the moment.
But this Power of Faith shouldn’t be wasted.
Lis quickly utilized the ability of [Chaos Faith Convergence], continuously collecting the Power of Faith from below.
Soon, Lis discovered something peculiar.
The conversion ratio between this Power of Faith and Chaotic Faith Power was surprisingly high.
It was known that the Power of Faith in the Bright City Dawn Cathedral was already quite pure, but at that time, it took three portions of faith to convert into one portion of Chaotic Faith Power.
But now, with the faith Lis collected, two portions could convert into one portion of Chaotic Faith Power.
Could it be because this time the Power of Faith is all directed towards me?
Lis was a bit surprised, but it was a good thing nonetheless.
At the same time, Taya appeared beside Lis, her elegant attire making her breathtakingly beautiful.
Her clear voice spread throughout the square.
"As the King of the Feis Kingdom, I congratulate Duke Kane for becoming the new legendary pillar of the kingdom."
"I announce Lis Kain as the first Deputy Leader of the Feis Royal Mage Corps!"
"I confer upon Lis Kain the title of Duke Kain, whose territory shall never pay taxes to the kingdom."
"Thank you, my Majesty."
Lis looked at Taya in front of him, smiling as he gently kissed Taya’s hand.
Witnessing this unexpected event, the Kingdom Nobles who came to attend were dumbfounded.
No, Majesty, why the sudden announcement?
The Deputy Leader of the Feis Royal Mage Corps was understandable, as that was the core strength of the Royal Family, which they couldn’t meddle in.
Furthermore, the Mage Group Leader is the [Judgement Flame], so Lis becoming deputy wasn’t much of a concern.
But the Duke title, that’s something special.
Technically speaking, being a Duke was just an honorary title with no fundamental difference from a Duke’s rank.
But a Duke represented the Fis Royal Family’s trust in Lis.
In the history of the Feis Kingdom, there have been several Dukes, all of whom, without exception, assisted the new king in ruling the kingdom after a king’s passing as shadow Controllers.
But... Queen Taya of the kingdom is still very young?
And being a Legendary Strongman, she might outlive the majority of those present.
As they watched the intimate status of the two in mid-air, many Nobles had some suspicions.
... What Duke, might as well just confer the title of Prince?
After all, there’s no real difference now.
As for the players, they were greatly shocked!
The players now had access to high-end information sources, so they didn’t know that Lis and the new legendary Queen of Feis Kingdom had such a relationship.
The most important thing was that Taya was so beautiful ah ah ah ah ah ah!
Many players were awestruck, and instantly their "wife" got updated with new data.
After a brief exchange, Taya left out of sight.
"Lastly, there’s one more thing."
Lis said with a slight smirk, looking down at the crowd.
What else could there be?
Elf Kingdom’s [Fierce Arrow] Rosde was observing this celebration from afar, somewhat curious.
Just now Taya’s appearance surprised him, making him even more curious about Lis.
This World Tree Favored was truly a surprise to him?
Recently, he had been staying at Danerluo Port, but due to Lis’s outstanding Space Teleportation Magic, he had no idea where Lis had sent those extraordinary materials.
But he wasn’t worried, as the Elf Station wasn’t ready yet, and those few dormant Life Ancient Trees were still in his possession.
That’s what Rosde was thinking, but he soon couldn’t laugh anymore.
He saw a magnificent city.
But this city was flying in the sky!
