The title that Jose was granted was "Viscount", although it was only a title for life, and did not enter the ranks of the so-called nobility. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoBut after all, he was directly promoted from the status of a commoner to a viscount, which is actually a kind of promotion beyond the ranks.

After all, such a title as a hereditary system is too rare, even if Joseph has military exploits in the northwest, it is already a good reward to be named a viscount. If he is given a hereditary title as soon as he comes up, even if the emperor is willing, the old nobles of the noble council will not necessarily agree!

The conferment of a hereditary title means the beginning of a noble family under this title, even if it is a non-mainstream nobleman with a baronial title in the imperial capital, it needs to be approved by the noble council. The aristocracy of the Empire of Light has lasted for hundreds of years, and the aristocratic spirit is regarded by some families as a status symbol that distinguishes them from commoners.

Regarding the birth of a nobleman, there is a systematic and stable operation process in the noble council of the imperial capital. First of all, it is necessary to investigate the origin and history of the surname of the recipient, and then to investigate the lineage of the recipient who is directly related to more than three generations, even if it is from a civilian background, it must be investigated clearly. After examining the history of family succession based on the family name, it was also designed by a learned court scholar, and the noble council selected experts who were proficient in various coat of arms and imprints to set their own family coat of arms for the newly born nobles...... After doing all this, you can be considered a nobleman in the true sense!

When José heard Su Ya say this, his face no longer had the excitement he had before, but he hesitated a little: for a good title, it took so much energy, it sounded so troublesome, and besides, where did he come from the family and ancestors of his traveler to let them investigate?

Su Ya only smiled slightly, and then said: "But these are the rules set at the beginning of the founding of the country, and to this day, although the aristocracy still occupies a large political position, these rules and procedures have been mostly omitted. At most, it's just a review of your identity, although you haven't assessed the mage level yet, but with your mage's identity, there won't be any big problems. ”

"That's fine, or I'd rather not have this empty title...... By the way, what kind of 'court magician' title is it, isn't it also an honorary title?"

When Su Ya heard this, her eyebrows were raised, and her tone became a little strange:

"This, the 'court magician' you are talking about is indeed just an honorary title. Speaking of real power, it is far less than the title of garrison governor or viscount of a county.

But this court mage title is the most surprising of the three rewards, and it is also the most valuable reward for you!"

"Oh, what's the value of an honorary title?"

Joseph was a little surprised, in fact, in his opinion, the most surprising reward was naturally the second one: appointing himself as the county warden of Moxi Sadland and the chief of armaments!

Joseph, who had just returned from the northwest, was naturally quite familiar with Sadrand County, in fact, this county was not only the most important military fortress outside Moxi Pass, but also an important grain producing area in the northwest. The Qianli Valley Corridor is the most fertile area in the entire northwest, and among the major grain-producing areas outside the Guan, the county town of Sadrand is definitely at the top.

In addition to the unintentional pursuit of the Northwest Army at that time, part of the reason was that the fortified city of Sadrand County provided the Macedonian president with the conditions for a calm withdrawal.

Such an important city and county, whether it is military or political significance, in the entire Moxi Province, in addition to the capital Valen City, the comprehensive strength can rank second is Sadrand County.

At this moment, the emperor appointed himself as the county governor and military commander of Sadrand County when the situation in Moxi was not stable, which was equivalent to handing over the military and political power of this important county to Jose. Such a move will definitely cause an uproar in the aristocratic circles of the imperial capital!

Thinking of this, Jose couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat, shook his head and said: "In my opinion, the so-called honorary title is just something that only those fools are keen on, and the more powerful the title on the head, the more open guns and hidden arrows and conspiracy calculations will be faced!"

I'm not interested in these hypocritical things, but when it comes to surprise, this position of Governor of Sadland and Commander of Armaments really startles me!

Su Ya shook her head, glanced at Jose with a complicated expression, and couldn't help but say with some emotion: "That's why I said that the title of 'court magician' surprised me, this second commendation seems inconspicuous, but it is paved for the third commendation." Even if the magnates in the Imperial Capital know about the award you received today, it will not be surprising that you have been given the position of Governor of Sadland. ”

Su Ya looked at Jose a little puzzled, and simply patiently explained to him:

It turned out that although this court magician was just a title and did not have any real power, it had deep political implications. The reason is that the title of "court" among court magicians represents the recognition of you by the royal family, and the person who obtains this title is generally the henchman of the royal family.

The greatest privilege of having a court magician is the free access to the palace, although some important areas of the palace, such as the office of the emperor or the dormitory of the harem, are not allowed, but it is still possible to enter and exit the outer areas of the palace.

You must know that even a duke like Su Ya cannot enter the palace without being summoned by His Majesty the Emperor. Therefore, anyone who can have titles like "court magician" and "court warrior" is without exception the emperor's henchman.

It was also a very politically significant sign that Mondevia IV had come to see Joseph as a trusted subordinate. This also just explains why he is willing to hand over such an important county town as Sadrand to Jose to govern, with the example of Sistine, if Joseph is a confidant of His Majesty the Emperor and is sent to Moxi to serve, there is naturally nothing strange about it!

When Joseph heard this, he was stunned for a long time, and said with some surprise:

"It turns out that there is still this meaning, you are really a noble royal family with too many eyes, and you can see so much information from these commendation orders, this noble lord is really not capable of ordinary people...... It's just that this Mondevia IV trusts me so much?

A county town of Sadrand has been handed over to me...... That's too big!"
