It's just that Du Lu's words in this scene are beautiful, but as soon as he heard that the guy in front of him who wanted to become a nobleman only brought two boxes of specialties from the orc clan, his heart immediately cooled, and he even felt that these two guys were full and had nothing to do, and they came here to entertain him.
What are you kidding, he is also a steward in the city lord's mansion, and he thinks that his vision is much higher than that of a pseudo-aristocrat like Du Lu, and he wants him to help him with two boxes of orc specialties, which is simply a naked insult to him.
Just as Feige was about to call in the guards to beat the two bastards who dared to entertain him, his eyes suddenly fell on the wooden box that had been opened by Duru, and the next moment he stood up from his chair with a 'whew', not even caring that the teacup fell on the table and drenched his clothes.
Walking quickly to the two wooden boxes, Fei Qi carefully took out a palm-sized translucent block from the wooden box, and muttered "Soap... This must be soap, this... So much soap."
Seeing this, Du Lu also smiled and said, "That's right, Lord Steward, here are two boxes of soap, which this little brother Ruya specially brought back from the orc realm thousands of miles away, in order to thank the city lord for his contribution to my Mickey Kingdom and Laurel City・・・・・"
"Okay, I see, you guys wait here for a while"
To his surprise, Feige didn't talk to Durroux anymore, and before he even listened to Durle's words, he picked up two boxes of soap by himself, kicked his calves and left the room quickly.
"Uh・・・・・ this," Durroux didn't expect that this Feiqi, who had been smiling all day long and smiling all day long, would have such a big reaction to him.
"Brother, is this Lord Feiqi really just a foreign affairs manager of this City Lord's Mansion?" Lu Ya said with some confusion.
Du Lu smiled slightly when he saw Lu Ya's expression, he knew that Lu Ya was wondering something, so he said, "That's right, this Fei Qi steward is a foreign affairs manager in this city lord's mansion, but don't underestimate him, in this laurel city, outside the city lord's mansion, I'm afraid there are not a few forces to go back to offend him, not to mention that the city lord has worked hard to run Laurel City for many years, the strength of the city lord's mansion is also unfathomable, and the benefits of being able to be a foreign affairs steward in this city lord's mansion are no better than some ordinary nobles. The lord is poor, and even more than that, especially this Fei Qi steward, it is said that he has followed the current city lord many years ago, and later came to Laurel City with the city lord, and he can be regarded as the confidant of the city lord, although he is only a steward, but he is in charge of the most oily power in foreign affairs" Speaking of this, Du Lu looked at Lu Ya with a smile, and Lu Ya smiled slightly and said cooperatively.
"Oh?
Duru laughed, and then said, "Divide the knighthood!"
"What?" Lu Ya stared, thinking that it was a little too incredible, that a foreign affairs manager could be knighted? What kind of joke was this.
"Hehe, don't get me wrong, this sub-title is not a prince and marquis like His Majesty, but a tribute lord"
"What do you mean?" said Ruya.
"As the name suggests, the tribute lord is the contribution title, and the city lord has the right to appoint a certain number of local titles within a certain number of the two levels of his title, simply put, for example, the city lord is the marquis of His Majesty, and there are counts, viscounts, and barons under the marquis, so the city lord can divide a certain number of viscounts and barons in Laurel City, of course, this title is preceded by the prefix of Laurel City"
Du Lu said this, Lu Ya finally understood, he still thought it was quite interesting for the Mickey Kingdom's sub-feudal system, but he also knew what this tribute meant, although they were all lords, but the title of this laurel city was obviously not as good as the orthodox feudal title of the kingdom, not so much a title, but a kind of reputation and fame, but in fact it was not very useful, and then Du Lu's explanation was indeed as he thought.
"Although it's just a prefix, but the gap between this is really different, like my brother I am the viscount of Laurel City, maybe I can still be counted as the number one person in this laurel city, but compared to the real imperial viscount, I am really worthless, just like the father of the German Viscount Ames, he is the righteous imperial viscount, with the right of hereditary replacement, even if his family has declined now, but no matter where he goes to the kingdom, he is still a noble viscount, and I, but I can only deal with him in Laurel City, out of this Laurel City, brother, I am actually no different from you"Duru said and shook his head self-deprecatingly.
"Brother, you don't have to be presumptuous, there are a lot of ordinary people who don't have titles outside, you are already so good compared to them that you don't know where"
In this side room, Ruya and Duru chatted with each other for about half an hour, when they suddenly heard the sound of the iron door opening, and both of them were stunned, and then they both sat up straight, presumably the Feige steward had returned.
To the surprise of the two, it was not Feiqi who arrived, but a handyman, and after handing Lu Ya a black sign, he withdrew without saying a word, and after a while, the two maids came in and began to clean up the table, which was obviously an eviction order.
Until he stood outside the wall of the City Lord's Mansion with Duru again, Lu Ya still rubbed the brand in his hand with his fingers, pursed his lips, Lu Ya's heart was full of contempt for the baron status he had just obtained, no wonder he thought so, mainly because this noble identity is too much of an understatement, except for the fact that the Fei Qi steward showed some reality when he first saw the soap, the others are almost the same as the feeling of buying vegetables on the street, one gives money and one gives things, pure and not mixed with any other feelings.
But no matter what, now that this aristocratic identity has finally been obtained, even if the water of this local aristocracy is a little large, but at least it is still somewhat useful in this laurel city, even if Lu Ya no longer takes soap seriously, but if this soap is exchanged for gold coins, it will take at least half a thousand yuan to buy, you must know that such a box of soap in the morning has been auctioned for a high price of 3,000 gold coins.
According to Du Lu's guidance, Lu Ya casually hung the black brand he used two boxes of soap in exchange for his waist, as he walked, a string of bay leaves carved on the black brand and the big word 'male' glowed in the sun, and the corners of Lu Ya's eyes twitched, how he looked at it felt weird, as if this brand was not used to indicate aristocratic status, but to distinguish his gender.
"There's no name on this brand or anything, isn't it possible that whoever picks it up is a baron?"
Du Lu glanced at Lu Ya in surprise, as if he was wondering why Lu Ya asked such a naïve question, but then he suddenly looked at it, knowing that Lu Ya had been living in the orc territory, and it was normal to be unfamiliar with these things.
So he explained, "This is definitely impossible, in this laurel city there is a knighthood is the number of palms, no one dares to pretend to be a nobleman." Maybe Brother Luya, you don't care about those two boxes of soap, but if those soaps are exchanged for gold coins, you must know how much you can exchange, think about it, how many people can be like you, brother, can take out so many gold coins to buy such a title at once, you just look at the people who bought soap in the morning, there are very few of them with titles, is it because they have no money? In fact, people don't look down on this at all" Duru said this, shook his head with a wry smile and continued.
"Those who are really capable, people don't care about this kind of title of Laurel City at all, and only an imperial viscount like Viscount Arms can make those people look at it, brother, my baron status was actually forced at the beginning, and I spent almost all my savings to get it, the reason is that I want to gain a foothold in this Laurel City, but I don't have the strength, so I can only survive on this" said, Du Lu also raised the token on his waist, the same black token, but Du Lu's token was a 'son' on it.
"Why, Brother Duru is not from this Laurel City," Ruya asked with some curiosity from Dulu's words.
"That's right, in fact, I have been living in Mirror Bay City before, but I offended people there and had to flee to this border place, here brother I can only buy a title from the City Lord's Mansion if I want to gain a foothold, this is also the reason why the Fei Qi steward knows me, as far as I know, I am the only one who spends money to buy a viscount in Laurel City, hehe" Du Lu laughed out loud after speaking, but the laughter was bitter, and the story was probably only known to Du Lu alone.
