203 Princess Susan?
Although Luo Sheng believed that accompanied by Buniel, he would go directly to Elson's palace to ask for canonization in his own capacity, and he could also get his own territorial certificate, but Luo Sheng still followed the rules and passed the news to the Elson royal family through the information channel of the Nine Rings White Tower, and then waited for the summons of the new King Raymond.

Although the Nine-Ring White Tower has basically gained a foothold in the Elson Kingdom now, and its influence is even vaguely comparable to the previous Bright Holy See, but in the final analysis, the Elson royal family is still the main here, and the Nine-Ring White Pagoda has no intention of directly annexing the Elson Kingdom, so when doing things, there must be some measure.
For example, if Bunier came forward to break into the palace directly and ask for canonization, although Luo Sheng can be in the limelight and less troublesome, but doing so will cause a lot of damage to the majesty of the royal family of Elson, and even make a considerable number of local people in Elson feel that the Nine Rings White Pagoda is domineering, affecting the perception of the Nine-Ring White Tower.
Although this impact may not be significant, it may pose a small obstacle to the plan of the White Tower of the Nine Rings to unify the Northland. Therefore, as a member of the Nine Rings White Tower, Luo Sheng did not want to damage the image of the entire Nine Rings White Pagoda because of his own selfish interests.
Moreover, in Luo Sheng's plan, although the development of the territory mainly depends on the help of the White Tower of the Nine Rings, the support of the Elson Kingdom is also indispensable. After all, nominally, the Sprout Territory is still the territory of the Elson Kingdom, and the distance from Elson is far closer than the Island of Truth.
And if you want to get some support in Elson's country, you can't get too stiff with the Elson royal family. Otherwise, although with the back of this nine-ring white tower, the Elson royal family did not dare to suppress Luo Sheng on the surface, but with the help of their huge influence in Elson, it was still easy to make trouble for Luo Sheng through other means.
Therefore, in the matter of accepting the canonization, Luo Sheng did not 'bully others', but saved face for the Elson royal family. And Luo Sheng also believes that as long as the Elson royal family is not stupid, they will definitely not embarrass themselves in this kind of thing.
In fact, things are indeed as Luo Sheng expected. Soon after Bunier helped Luo Sheng spread the news, representatives of the Elson royal family appeared in front of Luo Sheng. However, this time it was not the Duke of Marcia that Luo Sheng was familiar with, but Hugo, the head of the royal mage group.
"I've seen Master Hugo. Facing the first mage of the Elson Kingdom, Luo Sheng bowed his head slightly, and greeted him with neither humility nor arrogance.
As for this 'first mage' of the Elson Kingdom, Luo Sheng and his two lives have only heard of his name, and he has not had the opportunity to meet the real person, so he can't talk about it. I only know that the other party is the staunchest supporter of the Elson royal family, and he is extremely loyal to the royal family, and he can be regarded as a hardcore of the royal family. And whether it was the previous king, or Raymond, or Steven, who had successfully usurped the throne in his previous life, he had great trust in Hugo. This level of trust is even greater than that of Marcia, the principal of the Rex family.
Hearing Luo Sheng's name for himself, the robe on his body was complicated, and Hugo, who was more like a court dress than a mage robe, frowned slightly. As the head of the Elson Royal Family Mage Regiment, although Hugo is proud of his gold-level cultivation, he cares more about his identity as the head of the mage group and the marquis title on his body. As the lord of the Elson Kingdom, Luo Sheng did not call himself his position or title, but simply greeted him with the common title of 'master', which was a common term for gold-level professionals, which undoubtedly made Hugo feel slightly unhappy.
However, when Hugo set his eyes on Luo Sheng and looked at it repeatedly, Hugo's expression changed slightly, and there was more solemnity in his eyes. As a mage at the peak of the Golden Rank, even if Hugo does not specifically use probing spells, he can generally easily find out the general details of the professions below the Golden Rank. But after looking at Luo Sheng repeatedly, Hugo found that he couldn't figure out Luo Sheng's specific strength.
In this case, either Luo Sheng's soul realm has reached the golden level and can shield a considerable degree of external perception, or Luo Sheng has special magic items on his body, which can disturb his perception of Luo Sheng at the golden level. And no matter what the situation is, it shows that Luo Sheng is not a simple person, and thinking of Luo Sheng's current identity, Hugo had to let go of the original contempt in his heart and began to take his mission seriously.
"Lord Rasheng is really young and promising! he is worthy of being a disciple of His Excellency the Resurrected One. After adjusting his mentality, Hugo smiled and said, "Oh, I was wrong, I will be Viscount Rason soon." His Majesty has decided to recruit you into the palace tomorrow and hold a canonization ceremony for you. After the ceremony is completed, you will be the lord of the New Sprout Lord, the viscount of the Elson Kingdom. His Majesty the King directly canonized you as a real nobleman, giving you such a large territory, even I envy you!"
Master Hugo laughed. I was just lucky enough to get some military merit on the battlefield. Without military merit, I wouldn't have been able to get these fiefdoms. Luo Sheng responded politely and politely.
The meaning of Hugo's words is to emphasize the preciousness of the Viscount, obviously wanting to let Luo Sheng inherit the royal family of Elson. This is the usual method of politicians, emphasizing the preciousness and rarity of rewards, highlighting the generosity of those in high positions, and gathering the loyalty of subordinates.
If Luo Sheng did not worship under the Quinir sect, in front of this set, he naturally needs to be humble and wronged, thank the royal family, and show his loyalty. But with Quinir behind him, Luo Sheng naturally didn't have to spend this effort, and directly showed his military exploits. The meaning is also very clear: my reward was exchanged for two gold-level enemies, not because of favor, but because of the reward I deserve. I don't recognize this kind of vain human affection.
Hearing Luo Sheng's response, Hugo's expression stiffened slightly, and a trace of anger flashed in his eyes, but he finally calmed down.
On the one hand, what Luo Sheng said is not wrong. In the era when the Golden Rank belonged to the highest level of strategic power, the head of the Golden Rank was the hardest military feat. In front of the two armies, killing the gold-level barbarian clan chieftain, and killing the gold-level assassin who infiltrated in the Snow Dragon Pass, are all indelible feats no matter where they are placed. Unless the Elson royal family loses face and cheats, Rason's reward must be given.
On the other hand, Luo Sheng's current identity is not only the lord of the Elson Kingdom, but also the personal disciple of the resurrected, a member of the inner ring of the Nine Rings White Tower, and has the support of the entire Nine Rings White Pagoda behind him. Even if Hugo's strength is better than Luo Sheng's, he must treat each other as equals, and dare not overwhelm others like other low-level professionals.
"Hehe, Luo Sheng, you're not a fluke. Killing two golds in a row with the cultivation of the bronze rank is a rare feat in a hundred years, and it directly repels the invasion of the barbarians. Although he vaguely understood Luo Sheng's position, Hugo did not give up, and after calming down, he continued to praise: "Even if it is Marquis Cook, I am afraid that this time it is not as great as your credit!"
Although the real high-level knows that in the battle of Snow Dragon Pass, Baron Cook was an absolute mainstay, and even killed several golden ranks. However, because the battlefield was far away from the Snow Dragon Pass, and most of the enemy's corpses were collected by the Holy See of Light, the Elson royal family deliberately compressed part of Baron Cook's credit when rewarding them.
Baron Cook did not raise too many objections to this approach of the Elson royal family, but accepted the argument after a deep discussion with Raymond and some agreements. That's why Hugo dared to say that Baron Cook's apparent credit was not much higher than that of Roson.
"The master has won the prize. The Marquis of Cook is the commander of the battlefield, and all the strategies are arranged by him, and I am just doing what I am told. Luo Sheng responded lightly.
Although Luo Sheng looks only seventeen years old, he is an old fritter who has been messing around in the dark for decades. Hugo's flattery may have some effect on the teenager who is generally fond of vanity and eager to express himself, but Rason could never be so easily provoked to say goodbye to the Marquis of Cook.
"Yes, Luo Sheng, you have made such a meritorious service, but you are still so humble, no wonder His Majesty the King thinks so highly of you. After being refuted again, Hugo did not feel the slightest embarrassment, and still kept smiling: "Luo Sheng, you are seventeen years old this year, right?"
"Yes. Luo Sheng was slightly stunned, but he still responded very honestly.
"At your age, you should marry a family!" Hugo smiled and said: "Your Majesty's youngest daughter, Princess Susan, is exactly sixteen years old, and she is a match for you!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness, but I already have a marriage contract with Alyssa, and I dare not delay Her Royal Highness the Princess. Luo Sheng refused without hesitation.
Hearing Luo Sheng's answer, Hugo, who was originally full of confidence, was slightly stunned, and his eyes were full of doubts.
In Hugo's eyes, although Luo Sheng is very genius and very old-fashioned, he will not be easily manipulated, but judging from his growth trajectory, he is a very utilitarian person. From the very beginning, he befriended Alyssa, climbed to Baron Cook, and then hooked up with the Nine-Ring White Tower, and with the help of the Snow Dragon Pass agreement, he joined the Nine-Ring White Tower, and then put aside Lennon's Maximilian faction and worshiped the more powerful Quinnier. Along the way, Luo Sheng seems to be constantly clinging to stronger people to gain the greatest benefits for himself.
Therefore, in Hugo's opinion, Raymond offered such a high 'plus' and was willing to marry the princess, and Luo Sheng should immediately abandon the Marquis of Cook and join the royal family. But unexpectedly, as soon as he spoke, Luo Sheng directly rejected his proposal, which was completely different from the expected situation.
"Luo Sheng, don't you think about it carefully? Your marriage with Alyssa has not been decided, and it is uncertain. And if you can stay with Princess Susan, His Majesty will not only be able to support the construction of your domain, but will also be able to open the Elson family's library to you. This kind of opportunity, but the legendary Excellency will be tempted!" Afraid that Rason did not really understand his own consciousness, Hugo patiently explained.
"Thank you Master for your kindness. I have made up my mind on this matter, and the master does not need to say more. Luo Sheng replied firmly.
