Chapter 117: The Lord's Title
Borrowing money is a difficult thing for many people to talk about.
Although Zhou Yi borrowed virtual currency, it can be exchanged for real money with the same value.
Chu Tian was able to directly throw him 30,000 gold coins without hesitation, which alone made Zhou Yi feel a little surprised and moved.
Half an hour later, Zhou Yidong scraped together and finally scraped together 50,000 gold coins, and then he went to Earl William's palace non-stop.
As the high-level of the Holy City, this Earl William has great power, and he is responsible for the assessment of military merits and the recommendation of low-level titles.
I remember in my previous life, this Earl William ended up very miserable. He and his son, Jim, were self-enriched, embezzled and bribed, and were eventually guillotined.
At that time, many players participated in the story mission of crusading against the earl's father and son. And received a lot of rewards for witnessing this exciting historical event.
Zhou Yi calculated the time and speculated that this Earl William and his son might be guillotined in a few days.
Therefore, he must take advantage of this time difference and quickly settle the matter of Chrissaan.
When rushing to the Earl's Palace, Zhou Yi didn't dare to let Lan Yue Xiaoyi accompany him. Although riding with her will be much faster, it will cause unnecessary trouble, and the Undead Flame Warhorse is really swaggering.
Running all the way, Zhou Yi finally realized the distress of not having a ** mount. As for the mount, it was imperative that he could make Chrysa a paladin in order to be rewarded with the Undead Flame Horse.
The more he thought about it, the more enthusiastic he became, and before he knew it, he had arrived at Earl William's Palace.
As the high-ranking officials of the Holy City, the luxurious mansions of these nobles are gathered in the most central position of the Holy City.
It is heavily guarded and elegant. Close to the commercial and administrative centers, it is a prime location in the Holy City.
Zhou Yi compared it with the slum where Krissa lived, and couldn't help but sigh again and again, whether it is the virtual world or the real world, it is a world of the jungle. The privileged class and the rich. Enjoy unparalleled luxury, while the poor can only live in a corner and make a living.
Whether it is real or virtual, this law cannot be changed by him alone. All he could do was try to do what he could see.
Looking at the majestic and luxurious Earl's Palace, Zhou Yi sighed, and then stepped forward to enter. Who knows, it hasn't stepped forward yet. It was directly sent to a distance of more than ten yards by the system.
"Bold, is the dignified Earl's Mansion also something that you can break into as a civilian?"
With an angry shout, a guard of the Earl's Court wearing armor walked out, looked at Zhou Yi with contempt and reprimanded.
Guard of the Earl's Court
Level: 60
HP: 123492
Skill:????
Description: A private soldier raised by William of the Earls of the Holy City.
Zhou Yi looked at this gatekeeper, his face was shocked, and then a trace of contemplation appeared. He didn't expect the guard's name to be yellow.
That is, if Zhou Yi is strong. In fact, you can kill him and break in directly.
Of course. Judging by his current rank, this is just a luxury.
However, in the face of the difficulties of the gatekeepers, he did not give up. Instead, he walked up to him and grinned and stuffed him with a few gold coins.
The NPC gatekeeper was stunned for a moment. And then there was a burst of surprise.
"Guard No. 21 of the Earl's Palace in the Holy City, my opinion of you has been increased to 100, and the Earl's reputation is +200."
Hearing the prompt of the system, Zhou Yi's face was as usual, but he sneered in his heart. Fish begins to rot from the head. Sure enough, this Earl William is a huge greedy, and even his doorman is a guy who sees money.
"My lord, I have something important to do, and I would like to see the earl, so please let me know." Since this gatekeeper's favorability towards him has been increased to the full value, Zhou Yi also got straight to the point and expressed his intentions.
"Haha...... It's all their own brothers, what's polite. For you Inhuman Paladins, my Lord Earl, is the most enthusiastic. The doorman, who got ten gold coins, smiled at this time, was very enthusiastic, and immediately called Zhou Yi a brother, and then pulled him into the Earl's Palace.
With the leadership of this 21st guard, the road is unimpeded.
Soon arrived at the meeting room of the Earl's Palace, and after the guard invited Zhou Yi to sit down, he immediately entered the inner room to report.
After a while, a white, fat, pot-bellied, gorgeously dressed middle-aged man slowly walked out, supported by two beautiful maids.
"Young Paladin, do you have something important to see Lord Ben?"
The white and fat middle-aged man was lying on a soft couch made of fluff, leaning over, glancing at Zhou Yi, and then asked casually.
"Yes, Your Excellency the Earl, I have something I would like to ask for your help." Zhou Yi smiled at the corner of his mouth, and replied without being arrogant or humble.
"Hmph, please help me, what do you think I am......"
Without waiting for him to finish, Zhou Yi clicked on an interface, and then put 50,000 gold coins on it.
This interface is exactly what the player gives to NPC items to deal with. And this interface was initiated by Zhou Yi to Count William.
After being interrupted by Zhou Yi, William, who was full of anger, was about to get angry, but when he saw this interface, the fat on his face twitched twice, and then turned into a face full of surprise.
At this time, in his eyes, there seemed to be nothing else, and his eyes were full of shiny gold coins.
"Ahem...... Stand down. The Count, who had been in the city for a quarter of an hour, finally reacted, and then waved his hand to the two beautiful maids.
It wasn't until the figures of the two maids disappeared completely that Count William looked at Zhou Yi with a smile and said, "What's the matter, even if the little brother says, within a radius of thousands of miles, Lord Ben can still speak." β
As he spoke, he received the 50,000 gold coins without a trace.
Seeing that William had received 50,000 gold coins, Zhou Yi breathed a sigh of relief. Since I received the gold coin, I am not afraid that you will not do anything.
Zhou Yi smiled slightly: "Actually, it's not a big deal. β
Then, he told Chrissian about it: "Lord Count, do you think you can reserve a place for Chrysaan as a paladin?" β
Hearing Zhou Yi's words, William stood up abruptly and said loudly: "This is absolutely not good, this is against the regulations." Paladin slots, you don't know how much effort it will take me. Not to mention 50,000 gold coins, even if it is 150,000, I can't do anything. β
Zhou Yi only sent 50,000 gold coins, and he wanted him to do 200,000 gold coins, which would definitely not work.
The quota of a lord is worth 80,000 gold coins, not to mention the quota of a paladin.
In the Holy City, as long as you become a paladin, then the minimum is a lord.
He would never do such an unfair deal. The angry Earl William, after finishing speaking, wanted to return the 50,000 gold coins to Zhou Yi. Unbeknownst to him, the outsider shook his hand.
"Since this matter is a bit difficult to do, do you think this will work? Sir William, these 50,000 gold coins can always buy me a lord's title, right? Zhou Yi seemed to be prepared, and took a step back to speak.
Seeing that Zhou Yi took a step, Count William seemed to be a little embarrassed, it stands to reason that the title of Lord requires 80,000 gold coins.
However, the House of Elders has begun to investigate itself thoroughly, and it must prepare a way out for itself. Fifty thousand gold coins, although it is a little less, but it can't take care of that much.
Anyway, in two days, I will return to the fiefdom, and at the last moment, I can earn a little bit.
Thinking of this, Count William finally agreed to the request of the paladin in front of him.
"Wait a minute, I'll come when I go." After Count William gave Zhou Yi an order, he walked towards his office.
Zhou Yi knew that this fat man should have handled this matter.
After waiting for a while, as Zhou Yi expected, he really heard the prompt sound of the system.
World Announcement: A player has been awarded the title of "Lord" by the Holy City for his outstanding achievements. As a first-time knight, the bonus is +1 for level, +100 for world fame, and +500 for the prestige of the four main cities......
Over the entire Atlanta continent, a burst of fireworks rang out, and dazzling red letters appeared where they could see with the naked eye.
Zhou Yi smiled bitterly, forgetting about this stubble. Fortunately, I hid my name, otherwise, I would have become famous again.
Hearing the announcement of the world, all the players were boiling again, most of them had just entered the main city, and they had not yet completed the career mission, who knew that someone had actually obtained the title of noble.
Although it is the lowest title among the nobles, it is also a nobleman.
"Meritorious? This shouldn't be a bug, right, how did you get this feat? β
"It must be, now that the camp mission has not even been released, how can there be meritorious deeds, I want to report it."
"No, in order to maintain the fairness of the game, we need to unite and unite to report this guy who abuses the game's loopholes."
β¦β¦β¦β¦
Looking at the noisy world channels and regional channels, Zhou Yi was very sure and didn't worry about anything at all.
Is this a bug? Of course not. But if it's not a bug, it doesn't make sense. Zhou Yi does seem to have exploited the loopholes in the system and gained huge benefits.
Thanks to reports from thousands of players, the official response was quick.
Announcement: In response to the reports of many players, according to the number of feedback from the system, this player has completed a hidden mission.
Subsequently, the official gave a specific number jΓΉ.
This number jΓΉ is a player who spent a huge amount of 50,000 gold coins to complete a certain system-specific task.
As for the official statement, although many players are not very convinced, there is no way.
In the Atlanta continent, there are already a lot of strange quests, maybe a player really completed a hidden quest to get such a big reward.
Zhou Yi has long known about this official statement.
In fact, bribing the earl is a hidden task. Hidden tasks are definitely not done by ordinary people.
It's the same with this bribery mission, which costs 50,000 gold coins. (To be continued......) R1292
