Chapter 40: Jinfeng
"What!" Ulrique's loud voice, even the heavy door of the reception room, could not stop it from coming out.
Numerous maids looked at each other, wondering what happened. A baron in a remote area could make King Ulric unable to maintain his usual calm.
At this time, Leo felt an uncontrollable suffocation, and the vast air was radiating from the King Ulric in front of him, as if every muscle of the other party was shooting terrifying air. machine!
At this time, King Ulric was still holding those letters, so he could easily distinguish the authenticity of these letters. He didn't expect that the little nobles in remote areas would actually hook up with the Griffin Knights.
He also let the Griffin Knights establish a base there. In fact, the strength of those little aristocrats, King Ulric naturally would not take it seriously, but as a nobleman, it is the most treasonous thing to give up glory and do such a thing. angered him.
"Eh... this is... Canton?" Ulrike finally found the charred letter with only one corner left, barely recognizing the clan emblem and surname on it, and couldn't help frowning slightly.
"Yes, the Canton family is also our nearby baron lord family. Baron Wood, the patriarch of the Canton family before, had friction with me." Leo did not hide this. After all, the other party is the king of the Lion Realm. , not without its own intelligence channels.
If it was deliberately concealed, it would inevitably be suspicious.
Fortunately, Leo obviously made the right choice. King Ulric's eyes were filled with a bit of goodwill, but when he looked at the letter again, he frowned again.
"How much do you know about Wood Canton and the Canton family?" King Ulric asked with a frown, his eyes flickering with thought.
Seeing King Ulric's performance like this, Leo instantly broke all his original thoughts and said after careful consideration, "I don't know much about him.
He just knew that Wood used to serve in the Great River City. After he reached the fourth rank, the old baron passed away. He returned to the Canton family to take over as the clan chief and was named a baron.
As for the Canton family, it is not easy to deal with. I heard that there are various factions in it. Wood is also difficult to convince the public, so he wants to quickly increase his prestige and make a bet with me. He never wanted to lose to me. , Losing Liuhong Village, I think it will not be a good life. "
"Well," Ulric didn't care about his image, lay lazily on a large exaggerated reclining chair, his eyelids were half-closed, and then there was a faint light in his eyes, "The training base of the Griffin Knights.
Presumably, there should be good strength inside, right? As an ordinary baronial, I'm afraid it will be difficult to win, right? "
"Your Majesty, there was a Griffin attendant in the training base at that time, but he was seriously injured. Judging from the injury, he should have been injured by the Silver Mist Ranger." Leo obviously prepared his speech, with a bit of bitterness on his face. , "But even if he can't get out of bed, just two sword qi will cause my Fierce Lion Realm infantry to suffer heavy casualties."
"Hmph, I have to say that the ignorant are fearless, and the Griffin attendant is also the elite of the Knights. You bring a group of lion-level infantry, and it is almost the same as delivering food to the other party. Fortunately, your luck is not bad." Ulric muttered. He didn't care about Leo's embarrassment at all.
"However, those Silver Mist Rangers, what do you want to do when they come to your place?" As if thinking of something, Ulric muttered again, frowning tightly, "And the Canton family, strange..."
This...Leo forcibly restrained his heartbeat that was about to accelerate, what did the Canton family look like?
"Forget it," King Ulric shook his head gently, looking at Leo in front of him again, "Baron Leo, you really gave me a big surprise, say, you want this king to give you What reward?"
"Your Majesty, this is what I should do," Leo replied respectfully, "My Lanxia Village already has enough households, if you can allow it to be built into a city, I think Akmon The increased strength of the German Barony will be able to play a small role in your rule.
My ancestors once fought for His Majesty Alfred during the Bloody Calamity. After the Battle of the Lion City, the Archimonde family served on the Silver Throne and became the most loyal lord of the Lion Kingdom. O Archimonde is also willing to emulate his ancestors and do his best to help you rule. "
"Hahahaha...Very good," King Ulric stepped forward and patted Leo on the shoulder heavily, "You are the first lord to say that you want to build a city for yourself, you are much stronger than those hypocrites.
I like your temperament. There is a city. Although there are only a few giant cities in the territory of the fierce lion, there are also many ordinary small cities, and there are not many more than you.
Leo Archimonde was sealed. "
Leo hurriedly performed a standard etiquette for accepting a reward. Fortunately, the status of the nobles was still very high. Even if they saw the king, they didn't need to kneel, otherwise they would be depressed.
"Leo Archimonde is loyal and promising, and he has made great contributions to offering treasures. He was promoted to earl, and allowed him to build a city in his own territory." King Ulric was really arrogant, and he went straight to offering treasures like this. There is no reason for the big table to improve Leo's title.
this…
Leo was a bit subconsciously surprised, but he immediately realized the current situation and hurriedly accepted the seal and thanked him respectfully.
"Very well, Count Leo, the most important thing for a noble is to have a calm attitude," King Ulric said with approval, although his own words and deeds did not conform to the so-called noble etiquette.
"If you don't have anything to do, I'm going to take a look at the little things kept in my yard. Presumably you Count Leo won't have much interest in them." King Ulric said lightly.
Leo naturally understood that he should leave. When he was walking on the night road of the palace and the cold wind was blowing, Leo realized that he had unknowingly had a little cold sweat on his body.
In the memory of these rural nobles before, the king was just a member of the nobles. Even if he was respected in his heart, he did not have the authority of the ancient feudal dynasties in his previous life. Leo was also quite relieved. To show.
But when he saw it today, he suddenly realized how ridiculous the perspectives of those little nobles were, the majestic Pande Continent, with countless undercurrents surging, but the fact that the Lion Realm can occupy the center of the land can be seen.
As a king, King Ulric can control such a terrifying strength, and he must not be underestimated. I was a little sloppy before.
Along the way, Leo kept reminiscing about everything today. Fortunately, his adaptability at that time was decent, and he didn't say anything to the Canton family. King Ulric was still satisfied with his performance.
Earl…
However, this earl will also be promoted to a noble rank. After all, the territory is still so large, and the real income is not too high, but it is already a big reward. That is, this King Ulric, in the dynasty He has a strong discourse power, moody and even has the title of tyrant faintly.
But this is also beneficial. Once the other party's appetite is met, you can even directly reward him regardless of common sense. If it is replaced by a Mingjun, it is something that you don't even think about, and the permission to build a city.
Not everyone can build a city. It needs to be recorded in the dynasty and approved by the city management department of the kingdom. Of course, since King Ulric has opened his mouth, all this is not a problem.
I donated a glazed lion, and I also got credit for destroying the training base of the Griffin Knights. In exchange for these rewards, I also made a lot of money.
"Lord Leo," there was a rather shrill voice over there. Leo looked back and saw that it was the court attendant.
"Lord Hut, but what else does your majesty have to say?" Leo was also quite respectful. He had seen the strength of the other party before, and he was also the court attendant of King Ulric. Such a person was placed in his previous life. The **** chief and his ilk are quite terrifying.
"Lord Leo, don't say that, I'm an old servant, how can UU read www.uukanshu.com be called an adult," said Huth's valet in surprise. Although his identity is considered extraordinary, in In the eyes of the aristocrats, after all, there is still no ranking. "It's His Majesty's entrustment. It is best not to disclose what you report today, Lord Leo, and he will naturally make arrangements."
"Ah?" Leo was stunned for a moment. The King Ulric seemed to have other plans, but he respectfully said to Huth's valet, "Thank you for the mention, Leo knows."
"Then Lord Leo, walk slowly," Huth's valet was also a little more friendly.
…
In the morning of the next day, there was a small disturbance in the entire capital. The Baron Leo Archimonde, who came to the capital to present his treasure, made His Majesty feel very good. He was promoted to the title of earl and allowed him to stay in his own territory. Built the city.
That is the title of earl, and it was obtained because of the sacrifice?
For a while, many nobles have even spread some words, but fortunately, Leo's territory is still the size of the original, so it is reluctant to calm down the mood of many nobles.
At the same time, everyone felt deeply helpless because of King Ulric's arrogant and authoritarian temperament.
However, any king who can listen to his words will not be promoted to the title of Leo so easily. Unfortunately, the promotion of the noble title can be decided by His Majesty the King.
And the director of the city management department is even more of His Majesty's confidant. Even if everyone is dissatisfied in every possible way and can't even give any opinion, it is naturally quite helpless.
However, because of this, Leo also had a rather ironic title, "Count Dedication Treasures."
This, of course, is not a good reputation.
