These words were very touching, and Bishop Jeselit was also infected, although he was suspicious, but he was constantly erased by the documents in his hand, and after thinking about it, he finally determined that this was not a trap for himself.

"Thank you! The Lord has always cared for every believer. A kind smile appeared on the bishop's face: "Let's have a toast, for the sake of the Holy Lord and for your piety." ”

……

A few days later, the capital of the Saxon kingdom, London.

Memories from dreams are not unique to savages, and white Southerners are no exception. In this matter, the two sides have a very unique commonality, that is, they attribute all the power of interpretation to the ethereal God. The northern barbarians believed that it was the guidance of the gods, and the southern whites felt that it was a miracle, that the holy lord transmitted a message to themselves in the form of a dream. For example, someone is evil, something will appear in a certain place, some special things can be made according to the scene and process "seen" in the dream, and so on.

Place names are a classic example of the realisation of a dream scene. The historical London is long gone, and the real British Isles are squeezed by the crustal movement, accompanied by the red-hot magma erupting from the ground and sinking to the bottom of the sea. Big Ben was gone, London Bridge collapsed no longer, and Trinity College, which countless people wanted to enter with their heads out, became an invisible cemetery...... Everything about the civilized world can only be preserved in the form of information. Genetic memory, although incomplete, is the best carrier of information. With these intermittent and broken memories, the ancestors of the Saxon kingdom passed on the ancient ritual———— they planted a branch in the chosen plot (the technology of the time could not make a sword), and in their confusion and ignorance, they determined that the place was called London.

The palace is located in the southeast of the city, backed by a royal garden covering an area of more than 20 square kilometres. It's a tranquil retreat next to the downtown area, with tall oak trees and beech trees and a soft, dense artificial lawn. Streams flow over the rocks that form the landscape, and the bushes that have been built are blooming, and everything is so delightful.

It was the exclusive property of the king and was strictly forbidden to the common people. The guards, numbering two thousand men, patrolled the area day and night, but there were always filthy poor devils who seized the opportunity to sneak in and catch hares and pheasants from the king's private domain, and even daring fellows with fishing nets in the artificial lakes, and swept away the poor carp family, even the slippery loaches.

It's definitely no joke, in the last five years, the patrol has caught a total of sixteen civilians sneaking in. Although the thieves invariably said that they were "too hungry to do such a thing", the judges loyal to the king were steadfast in condemning them to beheading. What a joke, the dignity of the royal family is not to be desecrated, not to mention that the animals that these damn bastards catch from the garden are rare breeds.

Do you think it's a normal rabbit? Have you ever seen a rabbit with a white body without half a stray hair, amber eyes, and an honest white herb that never nibbles a carrot? This is a special breed that the Royal Zoo has spent decades of crossing, and there are only about 600 of them in the whole park, and most of them have been lost before and after the poachers have killed them, and the rest of the family members are frightened, they hide in the burrows and grass nests and shiver, and even the king himself will never run out of the hiding place and ask for the food he likes from his master, as he used to do.

Not to mention pheasants. It was a blue-crested peacock that was given to the royal family as a gift in the Kingdom of God more than 100 years ago. Don't doubt it, it's a peacock, but it's nowhere near as big as it was in civilized times, and because of mutation and domestication, it's become very petite, only two-thirds the size of a proto. The most distinctive feature of this bird is its gorgeous plumage, beautiful tail feathers up to two meters long, especially in sunlight, changing colors, and even more rare is its docile temperament. They are free-range in this woodland, living carefree and free, with a little dry corn or wheat kernel and they their tails to show you the most beautiful side.

There are also those fish that seem to be ordinary, but they are actually improved and bred koi fish.

Loaches are probably the most common of all stolen species. But you have to understand that the king and his concubine always like to stay in the woods and streams, and they are very close when the relationship is hot. The water is so clear, especially in the hot summer, that it's a beautiful thing to take a dip in the water after an intense exercise. Everything on the nobles was precious, including sweat and dirt that seeped from the surface of their skin, and perhaps countless descendants of the king himself, who had not yet been wiped clean and drifted with the lake flooding...... In short, everything in this garden is very expensive! It's expensive! It's expensive!

Civilians should be like civilians, they must stay outside honestly, not catch rabbits, birds, cast nets and fish, then smear salt and pepper on the surface of their prey, and barbecue them over a hot fire.

I don't have enough to eat...... Hum! The devil believes this kind of boring lie.

……

When Elizabeth walked into the reception room of the palace under the guidance of her attendants, she only felt some pain in her feet.

Walking all the way from outside the palace, about two kilometers away, you can't ride a horse or a car, you can only walk.

Here, the rules laid down by the king himself must be honored. In particular, etiquette and dress must be in line with your identity.

High heels are a must-have for all female seekers. The floor-length dress is the standard attire at the party, but it is not used for daily visits. To facilitate movement, the skirt should not be too low, usually at the ankle. The strange rule that "the height of the heel should not be less than 10 centimeters" is said to have been made by the fourth king, and God knows what kind of bad taste it is. But it must be admitted that the vast majority of men think that this rule is logical, especially since the arch of the female foot is taut and straight, and there is a kind of beauty that makes people think about it from any point of view.

Elizabeth received special physical training from Tianhao, one of which was to wear high heels.

This is an indispensable ritual for the first time to meet the king. But as long as you get permission, you won't have to work so hard to enter and leave the palace in the future. The distance from the palace gate to the inner sanctum can be taken by car (men can choose to ride a horse), and the actual walking distance is very short, only a few hundred meters.

The reception hall was large and empty, with few furnishings, and the walls were surrounded by famous paintings and sumptuous carpets from the Kingdom of God. The walls are covered with gold, and the windows are angled so that the sunlight that comes in is refracted at a special angle on the ceiling condenser, scattering it with a soft light that does not create an uncomfortable stinging sensation.

An old man with half a hundred hair sat on the throne. Because it was not a formal reception, it was dressed more casually, not the kind of dress with medals and ribbons, but a beautifully made blue blouse. Leggings were a must-have for royalty and nobility, with excellent elasticity, and the heel of the shoe, inlaid with jewels and silver, was up to eight centimeters, with the difference being not pointy like Elizabeth, but trimmed and polished into pieces of wood.

He has a short beard, is well-trimmed, and is meticulously dressed including his hair, and looks extraordinary.

On the chair next to the throne sat another old man, who looked thinner but gave a clean and elegant feeling. The tall nose is very prominent, and the eyes reveal an impressive shrewdness, which feels like the type that is stubborn and difficult to convince.

Elizabeth lifted the corners of her skirt with both hands, took a deep breath, bent down, and curtsied to them.

One is King George and the other is Laurent, the kingdom's chancellor of the exchequer, they are the big people who control the lifeblood of the country and must not be offended.

"You're Elizabeth?" The king was smiling, he gave people a very gentle feeling, a truly kind elder: "Elpsole...... I remember, many years ago, I met your father at the enthronement ceremony, and he ...... Well, a real aristocrat. ”

Elizabeth kept a proper smile.

To be honest, she didn't believe what the king said. It was customary for the king to receive all the nobles who had been promoted. It is a ritual of transfer of power and allegiance. There are too many nobles all over the country, and it is impossible for the king to remember so many people, not to mention that his father is powerless and belongs to the poor ghosts in the aristocratic circle.

I want to think about it, but I can't reveal my true thoughts. Elizabeth saluted King George again, and her voice was beautiful: "Thank you, Your Majesty." ”

The Chancellor of the Exchequer was a pragmatic man, and he had no interest in things like ceremonial reminiscences, and said bluntly: "Count Elpsor, Your Majesty and I have read your letter. It's a bit complicated, and we'd like to hear from you in person. ”

"Okay."

Elizabeth opened the handbag, which had been inspected when she entered the palace and was determined not to be a weapon, nor was it hiding anything that could pose a threat to the king. She took out a document rolled into a cylinder and tied with ribbons, held each end of the document with both hands, and respectfully handed it to the king.

As previously given to Archbishop Jeselit, this is also a certificate of equity transfer.

Chancellor of the Exchequer Laurent had already seen the document before, with his autograph on it. The king looked carefully, but Laurent looked solemn. He controls the Kingdom's finances and is very sensitive to numbers. Laurent is well aware of what a gold pound means, and how much it is worth. The shares involved in the two documents are 40 percent, which is more than 2 million when converted into gold pounds.

This is a large sum of money, equivalent to the annual tax payment of several counties of the Saxon kingdom, and it is by no means an exaggeration to describe it as "astronomical".

This beautiful woman just gave up her hands...... It's really illogical.

After a long time, the king raised his head, his gaze moved from the surface of the document to Elizabeth's face, and looked up and down her body for a long time, and his kind and gentle smile revealed an inquiring ingredient: "As the ruler of the kingdom, I feel your sentimental behavior. But I don't understand, why are you doing this? ”

Next to her, the Chancellor of the Exchequer also stared at her with doubtful eyes.

"This is what my father meant, I'm just fulfilling his last wish." Elizabeth said unhurriedly: "He felt deeply blessed when he was alive, if it were not for Your Majesty, you signed the decree of knighthood, my father would not have been able to inherit the title of earl, let alone make me his heir." ”

The king bowed slightly.

The knighthood decree is a special decree issued decades ago when he first ascended the throne. Traditionally, the nobility had the right to inherit titles, but this succession was not permanent and weakened as family members continued to be born. In the case of an earl, if he is not rewarded, or if he has made a special contribution to the kingdom, then every two generations he is cut by one level, viscount, baron, knight...... Families will decline, and nobles will become commoners.

Generally speaking, when a new king ascends the throne, he will issue some decrees that are quite favorable to the people and the nobility. For example, amnesty decrees, decrees on the increase of temporary holidays, and exemption orders for specific industries and regions...... This is done to buy people's hearts and make the people feel the care of the new king. Of course, these decrees are short-term acts and cannot last, let alone be fixed in the form of law.

One of them is the Knighthood Decree, which is limited to nobles who still retain their titles during the reign of the new king. Taking the Elpso family as an example, if it is in the period of decline from earl to viscount, then according to the new promotion permission, the earl title can be retained and continued to the next generation.

Such an explanation is logical.

The Chancellor of the Exchequer was still frowning, and such an explanation was not enough to puzzle him: "Is that really because of your father's will?" ”

Elizabeth shifted her gaze, met Laurent's with clear eyes, and smiled politely, "That's just part of the reason. Actually, I got the business of forgetting worries by accident. ”

Next, it is a rather wonderful and colorful story.

Elizabeth recounts in a beautiful voice about the family's internal strife, the persecution of her members for the right to inherit her, and in order to take refuge, she fled the manor under the protection of her faithful servant, bought a ship with her previous savings, and hired sailors to go to sea in search of a territory of her own.

The Saxon kingdom encouraged exploration, and if a new island or continent was discovered, it was possible to acquire full or partial ownership, depending on the size.

Elizabeth was undoubtedly one of the lucky ones, she found a small island with many natives who smoked a special plant. Elizabeth had studied pharmacy from her governess as a child, and she succeeded in refining a white powder that she named "Forget Worries Powder".

She secretly returned to the Saxon kingdom, avoiding the eyes and ears of her family members, and quietly ran a worry-forgetting powder business in a coastal port city, making a huge profit. After that, it was the story between Elizabeth and Baron Blake in Dorsetshire, who helped her get the title and drove away all the pretenders.

"It's a huge industry. It's no exaggeration to say that this is a real gold machine. Elizabeth put it bluntly: "I haven't been in business for long, but I've made amazing profits. ”
