392 Emergencies
"Your qualifications are better than Evans's, and you may not know that Evan's thoughts are going to marry Princess Stephanie, about the princess's promise to be fulfilled in three years, I think you should have heard some of it, this is my original intention to take Evans out for training, but I definitely didn't mean to be biased towards him when I took him out."
"Yes, teacher, it's me who thinks too much."
When Nanxing heard Grote's tone, he knew that he didn't listen to his words, and after thinking about it, Nanxing said again: "Okay, I'll take the two of you out to practice in a few months." You should also go together as brothers. ”
"Teacher, is it true?" Grote's bright eyes illustrate how excited he was.
Nanxing's words still failed to fulfill after all.
Because the mysterious magician sent a letter.
The content of the letter is unknown, but it is known that the mysterious magician suddenly advanced the princess's journey to the Upwind Mountains.
The promise that was supposed to wait for the princess to be sixteen years old turned out to be fulfilled next year, otherwise the princess's life would be in jeopardy.
Such a hasty time made King Pedro a little angry, but angry at anger, he still issued a royal decree to recruit famous warriors throughout the country.
It's not that King Pedro doesn't want to recruit magicians, it's that the relationship between the royal family and the mage guild is a little delicate, so he didn't mention it.
The King's Order will accept applications from the beginning of next month, but those below the rank of high-level warriors do not need to participate, and must be high-level warriors or above to sign up.
In addition, the king also promised that anyone who could help Princess Stephanie fulfill the agreement would be rewarded with 10,000 gold coins and canonized as a baron.
To be honest, the conditions offered by the king are not very generous, and it may take a certain amount of time for a high-level warrior to earn 10,000 gold coins, but at the level of a swordsman or above, it is easier to earn 10,000 gold coins.
For example, going hunting in the Warcraft Forest is a good way to get gold.
Speaking of the baron, this is the lowest rank of all the titles, which is half a level higher than the knight, and it is also lifelong, the kind without fiefdoms.
In the Empire, the Duke is the highest, and the Baron is the lowest, but there are many other sayings.
The first is the inheritance of the title, whether it is a lifelong system or a inheritance system, a lifelong title, and it is obvious that if the party who obtains the title dies, the title will be taken back by the empire.
The inheritance system is like the Duke of Josephine, who received the title of duke from his father, and then passed it on to his son, of course, if there are multiple sons, only one can inherit the title. In addition, if there is no son, the daughter can also inherit the title, and this is how the grand duchess came.
Speaking of fiefs, Duke Josephine's family has a county as a fief, but he also holds the position of the empire, so the whole family lives in the imperial capital, and the fief has their old house, which is guarded by heartfelt servants.
In addition, the owner of the fief can collect taxes in the fief, and most of these taxes go to himself, and a small part needs to be handed over to the empire.
To put it bluntly, each fief is like a country of China, except that the army they have cannot exceed the requirements of the title.
So this kind of lifelong baronial title without fiefdom is really used to fool people.
Presumably, the king just wants to use this to attract some high-level warriors, and as for those above the swordsman, there must be other conditions to negotiate.
……
A few days later, Duchess Arya was invited by the queen to make a trip to the palace, along with Grote, Evans, and Nanxing.
Why Nanxing is in it, she herself doesn't know, but that's what the invitation letter sent by the queen says.
So Nanxing didn't have anything to do, so he followed.
Riding in a carriage bearing the family crest of the Duke of Josephine, the four entered the royal palace of the Solent Empire.
The structure of the palace is really a little narrow in Nanxing's opinion, not to mention the so-called nobles in 3700 years, even in Daqian, the palace is many times more than the palace here.
No wonder I heard that King Pedro has only one princess besides the queen, and he doesn't want to have a woman with three palaces and six courtyards like the emperor in ancient China.
I don't know if the queen will be happier in this environment, Nanxing thinks about some of the things that don't have it.
The queen held an afternoon tea feast, which was held in the garden of the palace.
The style of the garden is a typical Western-style garden, and various trees are built in different shapes, including flowers.
Several long wooden and silver-clad tables were placed on the lawn in the garden, surrounded by chairs of the same wood and silver, each topped with goose feather upholstery.
Next to him were more than a dozen palace maids, dressed in uniform black and white maid attire, standing in a row with smiles. The maid in the lead has a much longer skirt than the other maids, and the texture of the clothes is slightly different, and the grade is also larger than the other maids, so it seems that this should be the maid chief.
The queen called out two princesses, Princess Gloria, born by the princess, and Princess Stephanie, born to the queen.
As for the princes, they sat on the other side, and Grote and Evans consciously sat with them.
The arrival of Nanxing made the queen very happy, and she specially ordered someone to arrange her place under her own head, just opposite the Duchess of Arya.
"I take the liberty of inviting Mayil Magister, and I hope you don't blame me for being abrupt." The queen's manners are so elegant that she can't fault anything at all.
Nanxing smiled and nodded, and said, "I'm honored to be invited by the Queen, but I don't know what the Queen invited me for?" ”
The smile on the queen's face paused for a moment, and then she said in a slightly melancholy tone: "Princess Stephanie, I guess Mayel Magister has also heard about it, right?" ”
Nanxing nodded, indicating that he did know a thing or two.
"As Stephanie's mother, I have a reluctant request." The queen was embarrassed.
It turned out that the queen wanted to invite Nanxing as Princess Stephanie's accompanying magician to the Upwind Mountains. After all, most of the people who practice combat skills are men, how can the queen rest assured that her baby daughter will be mixed with such a group of people who don't know the roots?
Moreover, warriors can't beat magicians in most cases, which is a matter recognized by the empire, plus the status of magicians is expensive, and the king's decree does not write about the recruitment of magicians because of this.
They plan to recruit some famous magicians privately, and Nanxing is the first person they choose.
Female.
Young Magister.
Relations with the aristocracy seem good.
These three points fully satisfied the queen's requirements.
"I need to talk to Archmagist Tyrann, so I can't answer you right now." This is the rhetoric given by Nanxing, but the fundamental reason is that if Evans can't participate, then Nanxing will refuse, so she is not so idle, what princess to accompany to the Windwind Mountains.
The queen nodded, "Yes, after all, Archmage Tylen is the overseer of the Mage Guild, so I didn't think it through. ”
After that, he talked about many unnutritious topics, and it was almost two hours before the Duchess Arya got up and said that she was going back.
On the way back, Evans looked happy, and he didn't need to ask Nanxing to know that he must have made some progress with Princess Stephanie.
