Chapter 1542: Lord Duke
"Duke Martin!"
"Lord Duke!"
"See Lord Duke!"
"Lord Duke, I wonder if you are free tonight? I would like to invite you to the house for a drink. ”
"Lord Duke......"
The king issued an official letter appointing "Martin Peyton" as the Duke of Torlum, fiefdom 500 kilometers of wasteland around the Titan Labyrinth. And fulfill the promise to give 24 million gold coins and any three magic items of your choice.
When Jia Zhengjin changed into a luxurious duke suit, he still wore a hood to cover his face.
Although this appearance will make people feel weird, it is normal for the hidden master to have some quirks, not to mention that he is a super mercenary who solves the problem of the Titan Labyrinth?
After the meeting was dismissed, all the civil and military officials gathered to stammer, squeezing him around. Even Aypar and Olivia could only stand from afar and watch helplessly as he was overwhelmed by the crowd.
After all, the duke is the highest of all the titles, and his status in the country is also extraordinarily noble, almost above 10,000 people under one person. There are even some countries where the dukes control the king and control the entire country.
In addition to the status of a duke, this may be the identity of "Martin Peyton, a ninth-order hidden powerhouse", which is also the focus of everyone's knots.
But in this way, Jia Zhengjin was depressed.
He didn't like it, but he couldn't use spatial magic to escape, because it would reveal his identity.
Fortunately, his eyes fell on Bourbon, and he beckoned to him at the moment: "General Bourbon, I have something to look for you." Is it inconvenient to go to your house together?"
"Of course you can!" Bourbon said with a happy face, such a good opportunity was naturally to be seized. Thanks to the king's previous arrangement to lead the way, it seems that he has left a place in the heart of this strong man.
In order to seize the opportunity to establish a good relationship with the strong, and even more importantly, to have a good relationship with the Duke, he immediately sent people to evacuate the civil and military officials: "Didn't you hear? The Duke has something important to discuss with me in detail." Don't harass the Duke, if you have anything in the future, you can discuss it with me first, and I will tell you!"
Many of the civil and military officials were not convinced, and many were unhappy that Bourbon had snatched the opportunity to get in touch with the duke. But after all, the duke had spoken, so he could only stay honest, and reluctantly watch Bourbon take him away.
finally came out of the palace, and Jia Zhengjin breathed a sigh of relief. He didn't like to deal with that situation, and he would try to avoid it when he was in Holy Dragon City, but this time Bourbon was able to get out of it.
"Lord Duke, what do you want me to order?" After coming out, Bourbon asked excitedly on the road, "My carriage is in front, why don't you ......"
"Don't bother!" Jia Zhengjin immediately interrupted, "I just felt troublesome just now, so I asked you to take me out." Actually, there is nothing wrong. ”
"Huh?" Bourbon was visibly disappointed when he heard this.
"However, you just said it well. Jia Zhengjin said to him, "In the future, if anyone else asks me for anything, you will be able to check it! I don't like to have contact with too many people." Of course, I don't spend much time in Torumbu, and I only visit once a month. During that time, I'm afraid I will need your help. ”
"It's an honor!!" Bourbon immediately replied excitedly, "I'm willing to serve you!"
"Well, I'll trouble you then, and I'll let you know first if I come to the country of Dolumbus. Now you can do whatever you have to do, and a few of us are going to find our teammates, have a night's rest today, and set off tomorrow on other missions. ”
"Lord Duke, in fact, with your current status, you don't have to work so hard at all. Bourbon whispered, "You can stay with your buddies and enjoy the life of a duke......"
"I want to enjoy it, I need to be a duke in this small country?" Jia Zhengjin said indifferently, "Moreover, I have my own things to do." ”
"Yes! It's me who talks too much...... Bourbon nodded hurriedly, "With your strength, you can really enjoy it anywhere." Even the four empires are probably willing to give a city of land. ”
"It's good to know! I'm a mercenary who enjoys the process, not the pleasure. Jia Zhengjin said indifferently, "You step back first!"
"Yes, the Duke can call me at any time if he has any orders. Bourbon smiled respectfully, "By the way, several of your companions are said to be near the bazaar at the moment. ”
"Still in the market, knowing that I came back, didn't you come back right away?" Jia Zhengjin was a little speechless.
"They can't be blamed for that," said Bourbon at once, "and the soldiers report that several of them are at auction. It was only after the meeting was dismissed that it would be able to leave, and it was estimated that the time would be about the same. ”
"Okay, I see!" Jia Zhengjin turned his head to look at Aypar and Olivia, "Then let's go to the auction and have a look?"
"Hmm!" both nodded at the same time.
"My lord, I'll prepare a carriage for you!" said Bourbon at once.
"Then please!"
"It's an honor!"
I came to the auction in a horse-drawn carriage, and sure enough, there was an auction inside, and no one was allowed to enter or leave at will.
Jia Zhengjin went over to ask how long it would take to finish.
The staff told them that it would take another half an hour and did not allow them to enter halfway.
Originally, Jia Zhengjin was going to wait for a while, but half an hour was fast anyway. However, a nobleman passing by, who happened to be a member of the hundred civil and military officials in the palace at that time, saw this situation and immediately came over to talk to him, and seized the opportunity to establish a good relationship with the "Duke of Martin".
The nobleman was obviously also a familiar character at the auction, and the other party treated him with respect. When the nobleman explained Jia Zhengjin's identity and informed him that it was the king's newly appointed duke, the auction staff was taken aback. Even the boss came out in person, hurriedly apologized, and promised that if the Duke came, he would be able to enter and leave the venue at any time.
It seems that this identity is still quite useful, Jia Zhengjin thanked the nobleman and asked him to leave his name. Subsequently, under the personal leadership of the auction owner, he entered the venue smoothly with Aypar and Olivia.
There were quite a lot of people in the venue, and a high-level magic prop was being auctioned on the stage, and everyone's eyes were on the auctioneer's side, and they didn't notice the few people who came in behind.
"Over there. Olivia's eyes were sharp, and she saw Tina, Perrin, Christina and Amy in the front VIP seat, all of whom were also seriously holding signs and shouting prices, and there were a lot of props around them that had been successfully photographed, and they had a lot of fun.
Jia Zhengjin's wife is the most numerous, and now there is no shortage of gold coins at all, so she can buy whatever she wants. Obviously, they're also interested in the magic items they have at hand.
"Lord Duke, do you want to suspend the auction for the time being?" the auction owner asked respectfully.
Seeing that several wives were holding up their signs, Jia Zhengjin didn't want to disturb them: "It's okay! I'll find a seat in the back row for a while, and wait for them to finish." ”
"You're welcome, Lord Duke, you only need to say a word, and the auction will stop immediately. ”
"It's really fine!" Jia Zhengjin smiled, "By the way, what are the next lots?"
"Are you interested?"
"Hmm~ Let's see what's good. ”
"Because it's nearing the end, only the finale is left. The owner of the auction looked flattering, "The lot is a dinner with the famous Miss Perrighi." ”
"What the hell? can be auctioned for a meal? Forget it, I'll just wait!" Jia Zhengjin shook his head in disappointment, originally thinking that something good would be put out.
