Chapter 071. Canonization from the Governor
Therefore, Levi didn't care about joining the Governor's forces, especially after he had already had a serious conflict with the rebel nobles and the Mage Tower, and he still acted alone as usual, perhaps the situation was not optimistic. Looking at Butler Paul in front of him www.biquge.info Levi's right hand gently tapped the scimitar on the table, and said with certainty: "Maybe last night's record in Baal Town is not a brilliant word, but it represents my willingness to be loyal to the Governor." ”
"Levi, please don't make irrational moves inside the Doge's Castle." The leader of the Doge's Guard took a small step forward and approached Paul's butler, his burly body pressed against the table, and his hand resting on the hilt of the sword at his waist. Glaring at Levi's impolite behavior, he was a little angry at the seemingly modest fellow, but he still warned, "You must know that this is the Governor's Castle in Grey Mist. ”
"Of course I do, but what do you think of me, Mr. Paul?"
Levi looked at the Paul butler in front of him, who was already frowning slightly, his eyebrows also had a little smile, and he slowly raised his hand on the scimitar, as if he also felt his rudeness, put it under the table again and supported his legs, leaned his head forward against the table, and asked with a smile: "After all, with the so-called mage in Bal Town, I don't think there is anything to be afraid of at all, let alone the group of rubbish Ketuf River thieves?" ”
The tongue slowly pursed the corners of his mouth, he was like an unscrupulous boatswain on the sea, and the madness of the fierce and small people was also vividly interpreted by him. That's right, Levi is indeed acting, and he is now playing a reckless captain who seems to be brave and a little clever, but his face does not show the slightest hint, only showing his useless and rude muscles to the Paul butler in front of him: "My sailors and I can easily take out those water thieves, and show our due bravery to the Governor." ”
"Yes, you are very brave, Mr. Levi."
And the steward Paul, whose hair was neatly combed back and seemed to be oiled, did not look the slightest fear, but frowned slightly, and he was already familiar with the elegance of the nobles, and he still had an instinctive estrangement towards this kind of bad sailor from the outer harbor. But there was a smile on the corner of Paul's butler's mouth, because this guy in front of him, who was a little rude and clever, and had a certain amount of power of his own, was indeed the candidate that the Governor needed.
"Smack."
The Paul butler slowly slapped his palms twice, and there was a slight smile on his extremely clean face. Although the disdain in the depths of his eyes could be faintly detected, his superficial kung fu was still not revealed. Outside the door next to him, a young man in a neat black robe walked over, holding a sheepskin scroll in his hand, and Paul's butler waved his hand after taking it, signaling the servant to leave, and glanced at the squad leader who was still standing beside him.
And the captain of the governor's guard also understood what Paul's butler meant, and did not say anything, but just looked at Levi heavily, and then bowed his head respectfully and retreated outside. At the same time, when he passed by the door, he slowly brought the whole door over, and with the creak of the door shaft, there was already Levi who was slightly frowning and seemed to be puzzled in this room, and Paul's butler who was still smiling.
"Is there anything important we have to talk about?"
Levi shrugged in confusion, and his eyes looked at Paul's butler, but his gaze moved to the parchment scroll he was holding. This is the most common scroll issued by the Grey Mist City, and it is not a handicraft that ordinary craftsmen can make, such as ornate shaft wood carved from fine wood, and the elaborate parchment scroll surface made of fine sheepskin. Slowly swallowing and foaming, the doubt on Levi's face deepened: "Is there any decree to be issued?" ”
"Of course, Mr. Levi, how can the Governor not be rewarded for saving the Baron Governor's trust the most and sabotaging the plot of the Baal Rebellion?"
Butler Paul's neat and tidy face smiled even more, even the wrinkles on his face carried the elegance of nobility, he slowly reached out and put the sheepskin scroll in front of Levi, and pressed the scimitar on the table, and slowly spoke: "Your Excellency the Governor has admired you very much, especially your merits have also satisfied the Governor, so I want to canonize you as a gentleman." After a pause, the insubstantial smile on Paul's butler's face became a little stronger, and his tone was pretended to be gentle: "At the same time, in recognition of the loyal deeds that dare to serve the Governor, and reward you with a village as a territory. ”
"What?" His face was slightly stunned, and Levi's face was already stunned. Looking blankly at Paul's butler in front of him, his brows gradually furrowed, and he wanted to say something, but he couldn't say anything when the words reached his mouth. Because rewarding a village as a territory, in addition to canonizing a territory that only nobles can have, how can it appear in front of him, or just canonize a gentleman who looks tall, but is actually only rich and famous?
A gentleman is not even the lowest nobleman, but a consolation title for the nouveau riche who have a certain fame, but in any case he can be invited into the inner city to hold a council or attend a banquet, which is a title that ordinary people aspire to. But this does not mean that a gentleman is a nobleman, nor does it mean that a gentleman can own a village as a territory, this is not a question of whether the governor of Grey Mist City gives it or not, it has already involved the core of the distribution of nobles' interests, that is, canonization as a lord with actual territory!
Slowly swallowing and spitting, even with Levi's mind there were huge waves, and it took a while before he finally came to his senses, turned his head to look out of the narrow diamond-shaped window, and gasped heavily: "Is this a joke?" I'm just an ordinary captain, but I don't want to be ridiculed like you. After a pause, Levi's eyes looked at Butler Paul, who was still smiling formulaically, and said in a deep voice, "But this is not logical. ”
"The canonization of the Governor must be in accordance with common sense."
The corners of Paul's butler's mouth curled slightly, no one could withstand such a huge impact, because even when he had just seen the conditions signed by the governor, he already had a look of shock in his heart. However, his well-maintained hand tapped lightly on the table, and his fingers pointed to the parchment scroll and said to Levi: "The canonization decree of the Governor must be obeyed even by the entire Northern Trumming Sea, and since the Governor has chosen you, then you are the master of that village." ”
"Is that so?" Squinting slightly, Levi reached out and picked up the parchment scroll in front of him, the delicate parchment scroll was extremely soft to the touch, and the two wooden scrolls carved with exquisite patterns also gave people a luxurious feeling. This is the government decree scroll of Gray Mist City, which is absolutely untouchable to ordinary people, but now it was slowly pulled apart by Levi, frowning and looking at the picturesque series of letters on it, he exhaled slowly and said, "Lord Governor is really generous. ”
The foam was gently swallowed by Levi, and the countless letters described in the scroll also formed this decree, and the red stamp with mud in the lower right corner, representing the noble symbol of the governor of the Northern Whistling Sea, also made him subconsciously clench the wooden handle of the scroll. This symbolizes that the decree is valid, and if he takes the scroll to the place stated in the canonization decree, then he will be the master of that village, and the only gentleman in the entire Northern Whistling Sea to own his own village!
"Of course it's true, Mr. Levi, but I don't have any more time to explain it to you."
Butler Paul seemed to have had enough of this room, slowly stood up and straightened his sleeves twice, still reserved as a gentleman, and turned his head towards the door. However, when his hand was on the doorknob, he tilted his head slightly, as if remembering something, and reminded Levi: "That village is a bit deserted, but the Governor still hopes that you can build a ten-meter-high lighthouse this year to bring a guiding light to the surrounding sea." ”
