Chapter 0472: In the Circle

Thinking of this, Renard couldn't help but shake his head and smile, and had a deeper understanding of this real world.

Looking at the combination of beasts and many beauties in front of him, he suddenly remembered that very classic line: Good cabbage makes pigs arch.

Of course, these women in front of them are not good cabbages, they can only be regarded as cabbages in the midst of gold and jade.

However, just as he was about to turn around and leave, he heard the fat man Oro let out an extremely proud voice: "Do you know that His Excellency Renard, the current governor of Southern Wilderness County, is my best friend, and I have saved him from danger twice. ”

"In order to repay his kindness, he invited me to serve in Nanhuang County several times, but I refused all of them, after all, who are we, how can we repay the favor. ”

Renard stopped when he heard this, his face was as black as the bottom of a pot, he didn't expect that there were such shameless people in the world.

This dead fat man not only follows his father's figure, but even his shameless strength is not far behind.

He really wanted to go back and expose the fat man's lies, but he still gave up thinking about it, after all, business mattered.

Renard said to the embarrassed Earl Mackinto, "Before introducing me to a certain circle, I want to know what great achievements the other party has, as for this kind of role......"

He pointed to the smug Oloke and added, "Forget about it." ”

Count Mackinto nodded again and again, and hurriedly took Lei Ye away from this place of right and wrong.

Later, he introduced several small circles of people to Renard, but all of them were rejected for various reasons.

After a few times, Earl Mackinto was half tired and half dead, and he thought that the Governor was easy to get along with, but now he found that he was really not good to serve.

Of course, this did not surprise him, after all, most of the people who came to the banquet were court nobles living near the royal capital, and they had no power, no power, and no ability.

It is not uncommon for a powerful feudal official like Renard, who is used to being arrogant in the local area, to look down on these court nobles with fat brains.

Just a few years ago, a member of the Creighton family was jealous of a court nobleman at a banquet and killed him.

It can be seen that the status of the court nobles and lords is fundamentally different, and it is difficult for the two sides to find common topics.

Good thing McGinn

After Count To's unremitting efforts, he still found a suitable circle for Lei Ye.

Most of the people in this circle are warriors, and it is not surprising that they should belong to the circle of the military, or the circle of the local garrison.

Standing outside the circle, Renard pointed to the other party and asked, "Can you introduce me?"

Count Mackinto had an undeniable expression: "Whose business do you want to know?"

Lei Ye glanced at the audience when he heard this, and then casually ordered two: "The oldest and the biggest." ”

Mackinto followed his instructions and looked over, and the first thing he saw was a strong man lying on the table with melon seeds lying bored, and his brows suddenly twisted: "Are you talking about Lieutenant Colonel Cooper?"

Renard nodded: "It's the one who swallowed melon seeds." ”

After confirming that it was right, Earl Mackinto couldn't help but sigh and introduced in a low voice: "Lieutenant Colonel Cooper is from a martial arts nobleman, and his father serves in the General Staff of the Western Army. ”

Very scheming? Lei Ye nodded thoughtfully, not knowing whether the other party's words should be believed.

Seeing that he did not say anything, Count Mackinto continued: "Lieutenant Colonel Cooper is now a faculty member at the Kingdom Military Academy......

"When the demon plague broke out, he single-handedly killed several high-level demons and dozens of middle-level demons, saving hundreds of lives, and in recognition of his merits, the king personally ordered him to bestow the title of baron. ”

Renard nodded again, from this point of view, this Lieutenant Colonel Cooper should be from the king's faction, otherwise the miserly and suspicious Ferdinand would not have given him a knighthood, even if it was an empty title.

After thinking about it, he asked again, "Did the king give him an empty title?"

Earl Mackinto hesitated for a moment, then smiled bitterly: "Sure, you know, our King is notoriously untrustworthy and unkind. ”

Lei Ye sneered secretly, the other party really spared no effort to hit Ferdinand's reputation.

Although what the other party said was true, Ferdinand was indeed very suspicious, but he was also forced out by the wealthy and powerful.

If he hadn't been so suspicious, the corpse would have rotted in the mud.

Perhaps afraid that Lei Ye would think that he was deliberately discrediting the king, Count Mackinto hurriedly added

"Actually, the bigger reason is on the Senate side. ”

He looked at Lei Ye with a helpless expression: "Actually, you know in your heart that it is difficult for people without identity and background to climb up, and it is already very difficult for Lieutenant Colonel Cooper to get the title." ”

"Now that more than eighty percent of the members of the Senate are nobles of the court, do you think they will let the order of canonization of hereditary nobles pass, for more than twenty years, only you and Count Heidi have received this honor. ”

The so-called court nobility is actually a lifelong aristocracy, which has no fief and cannot inherit the title after death.

Of course, as long as you don't offend anyone and are willing to spend some money up and down, this title can still be passed on to your children and grandchildren.

Hereditary nobility is different in that they have fiefs, and fiefs and titles pass directly to the heirs after their deaths, without anyone's consent.

Think about it, the king wants to canonize someone as a hereditary nobleman, but he has to go through the review of the court nobles first.

A playful smile appeared on Renard's face, and then asked, "Since he is a court nobleman, and he is also a baron, he has no real power, so why can he appear on such an important occasion?"

Although it was possible to offend people, he still asked directly.

Hearing this, Count Mackinto's expression suddenly became gloomy, and he said hatefully: "It's not him yet...... He ......"

Perhaps the next words were a little difficult to speak, but the Earl did not say anything for a long time.

Renard shrugged his shoulders and said, "If you have a reason that is embarrassing to you, I still don't want to listen." ”

Count Mackinto sighed deeply, and finally said hatefully, "He seduced my daughter by despicable means, and it must have been the girl who brought him in." ”

Lei Ye was directly choked half to death by his own saliva, how small are that woman's eyes, and she can actually look at such a mediocre husband.

Count Mackinto obviously expected this situation, and his expression was quite calm: "Do you think such a person will be as innocent as he seems?"

Hearing him ask, Lei Ye really couldn't say anything else.

After thinking about it for a while, he smiled awkwardly: "If it is two loves, it is actually nothing, if it is really as you said, Lord Earl, the other party's mind is not pure, then ......"
