Chapter 31: Becoming a Nobleman

Without saying hello to the others, with Ken's lesson, after the banquet, Malone quietly left.

……

It's February.

On this day, Ma Long had just returned from training outside the city, and when he walked to the city gate, he met his little sister Sala.

Ma Long's eyesight is naturally much stronger than that of Salad, and he can see his running figure before Salad is even noticed.

The small body, when running, looks around from time to time, as if searching, very eagerly.

"Is something wrong?" Ma Long's heart sank, and he didn't care about the impact, so he took a big step and ran forward.

In one step, it was several meters away, and at the same time, he called out in his mouth: "Little sister......"

Sarah saw Malone when he was running, after all, he was not blind, and it was impossible to turn a blind eye to such a big movement.

Hearing Ma Long's greeting, he simply stopped in place and said happily: "Brother, hurry up and ......" jumped in place while speaking, showing the child's heart.

Ma Long rushed to the front and hurriedly said, "What's the matter, is there something wrong at home?" When I was worried, I picked up the salad and walked away!

The salad was picked up, and he didn't resist, but he was happy, and said in a brisk voice: "No!" What's there...... The envoy came, and Mother asked me to summon you back. ”

"Huh, ......", the reason for listening, Ma Long breathed relaxedly, thinking that the king's envoy had arrived.

Slowed down, patted his right hand on the back of the salad and said, "You guy, scare me, come down and walk by yourself......"

But the salad didn't follow, and said coquettishly: "No...... I want my brother to take it back ......, people are tired of running......! As he spoke, his small body writhed restlessly a few times, expressing dissatisfaction.

"Hey......" Malone patted him on the back as a sign of punishment, and continued to walk home.

What I said just now was just coaxing!

When I entered the house, I could see a middle-aged man sitting in a gorgeous official uniform in the house.

Brown-haired, in his forties, looking like he is on top, he should be the king's envoy.

He was about to salute, but he saw the envoy get up and say, "You are Ma Long?" Although it was a question, the tone was very affirmative.

And the attitude is arrogant, there is no one in the eyes, and it is very rude.

"I didn't offend him, did I?" suppressed the doubts in his heart and said, "I am ......"

Without waiting for Marlon to finish speaking, the envoy handed over a sheepskin scroll and said reluctantly: "This is a document signed by the king himself, just do what it says, it's not early, I still have something to do, so I'll leave first." ”

As he spoke, he was about to go outside the house.

"Your Excellency the envoy and ...... slowly", Ma Longxun quickly blocked his way, and said with a smile: "It's getting late, the adults still have dinner before leaving, and let me get closer to the adults." Of course, it's even better to make a friend! As he spoke, he took his right hand with both hands and shook it.

The envoy was about to get angry, but he felt something different in his hands, this feeling, this size, this texture, yes! It's gold!

I thought that coming to this poor country would be a trip in vain, but now it seems that I have earned it, and I have received a few months' salary.

…… No loss!

The clenched cheeks immediately slackened, and a smile hung on.

β€œβ€¦ Ha... Haha" laughed a few times: "Yes, yes、...... Baron Marlon has a point, it should be close and close, and I am also a person who likes to make friends."

As he spoke, he followed the traction on Marlon's hand and sat down again.

Ma Long sat next to him, and secretly cursed "money fan" in his heart, but said with a smile on his face: "Even if you are a friend, can you know the name of the envoy?" ”

"Haha...... What's disrespectful, my name is House. Bill" he pretended to be bold and said: "My friends call me Bill, you can call me that"

"It turned out to be Mr. Bill"

Ma Long pretended to hesitate and asked, "That...... Lord Bill, the baron you just said ......"

"Oh......, look at me......" Bill slapped his head, as if he had just remembered, pointed to the parchment scroll, and said with annoyance: "That is the canonization document signed by His Majesty the King about you, you can take a look first, if you don't understand anything, you can ask me, you must know everything." ”

Ma Long stroked his chest and said, "Thank you......", said and untied the rope on the scroll, opened it and looked at it.

There are a lot of useless things written in the scroll, and it can be summed up in one meaning, "Marlon has been canonized as a baron for his military exploits, and please accept the king's canonization at the royal palace on May 5, 717." ”

After reading the scroll, he put it aside and said to Bill, "Does the envoy have any suggestions?" ”

Bill picked up the coffee on the table, which had been brewed before Malone returned.

But he didn't move until Malone finished reading the scroll, and then he tried to take a sip and said, "You asked me to be the right person." ”

Putting down the cup, he continued: "Although the document says that the ceremony will be held on May 5th, and there is no time to go to the royal capital, I advise you to go to the royal capital as soon as possible."

"I want to hear about it!" Ma Long said respectfully.

"There is actually a lot of preparation work before the canonization, especially if your ancestors have never been a nobleman, and I have not been trained by orthodox aristocratic etiquette.

You have to arrive at the royal capital in advance, first go to the noble council with the documents to report, pass the council, sign up for etiquette training, heraldic learning, family badge making, etc., there are many things to be busy. ”

"Thank you......" Malone sincerely thanked him, collecting money to do things, when he has money, Malone still likes such people very much.

Bill waved his hand and said, "If you're not satisfied with the Council's efficiency, you can go find someone named Razor."

He was a receptionist in the Council of Nobles.

That's a friend of mine, you just put my name on it and he'll help you, of course, you know, it won't be free. ”

"I will...... Thank you"

……

In the end, Bill still didn't eat at Marlon's house, and after talking about business, he left in a hurry under the pretext that the lord was still waiting for the feast.

I think it's because I can't look down on the food of Ma Long's family.

Sending Bill away, Malone couldn't help but sigh with emotion, the true value of this gold coin flower.

Otherwise, I really don't know that there are so many ways in it.

"That's how I became a nobleman......" It was his father Marven who spoke.

"yes...... It's like a dream! The mother was also in a trance.

Looking at his parents who were still in a daze at the gate, Ma Long said helplessly: "Come into the house, enter the house and talk about ......" One by one, pushing them into the house.

Malone can understand his family's yearning for aristocracy, in their image, nobles are rich people, exquisite food, luxurious robes, and ...... do nothing.

That night, everyone had insomnia.

Malone was thinking about how to go in the future, and the others were happy.

The next day, I got up, washed, ate, and Marlon went out early in the morning, and he went to find someone.

The document is written in black and white, and it is very clear that Ma Long is a fiefdom nobleman and has his own territory.

Therefore, Malone is currently going to find someone to help him manage the territory.
