"Lord Duke is polite!" Qiao Se smiled slightly, and said lightly: "I have long wanted to visit your lord in person, but I have just arrived in the imperial capital, and there are a lot of trivial matters, so I have not taken time out, hehe, I hope Lord Duke will forgive me for this!"

When Norman heard him say this, he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, glanced at Joseph with interest, and said slowly: "Speaking of which, as far as I have heard, His Majesty the Emperor is extremely important to Master Joseph, and not only rewarded Master Joseph with the title of Viscount and the title of Court Magician. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info even appointed you as the county governor of Moxi Sadland...... Speaking of which, the Bright Empire has been founded for hundreds of years, and such an appointment is extremely rare!

Master Joseph made great contributions in the Moxi War at a young age, and was so appreciated by His Majesty, he is indeed a young talent, and his future must be even more limitless!!"

Joseph's heart moved, and then he thought that although His Majesty the Emperor's commendation ceremony had not come down, it must have been reasonable for the military department to receive the news in advance for such a major military transfer. Since this Norman is the undersecretary of war, it is naturally not surprising that he knows these things.

Thinking of this, Jose also smiled and shook his head: "Lord Duke is serious, I, Joseph, am just a little magician, how can I be as handsome as Lord Duke said." It's just thanks to the grace of His Majesty the Emperor that he was lucky enough to get a few rewards, speaking of which, where is José's little merit worth mentioning in front of Lord Norman!"

Norman smiled, his expression was quite serious: "Young people don't have to be too modest like this, even the people who His Majesty appreciates must be extraordinary." I'm looking forward to the award at the New Year's celebration!"

New Year's celebration?!

When Jose heard Norman say this, he presumably his commendation ceremony should be placed on top of the New Year's celebration, after all, with his status as an important minister of the empire, it is naturally harmless to mention these things in private. And when Norman heard him say this, they naturally looked at Jose with a little more surprise and attention in their eyes.

Seeing this, Norman also laughed, and told Joseph's identity and deeds to the nobles beside him, and most of those guys also showed a friendly smile to Joseph.

Although Joseph is a magician, he is already a big man in front of ordinary people, but in front of an important imperial minister like Norman, a real military boss, how can he be half self-conscious?

And the guys in front of Norman, although they don't know each other, but they are all old nobles in their fifties and sixties, and they are next to Norman, the host of the banquet, their identities are naturally unusual!

Norman greeted Jose a few words before introducing him to a few big people around him, and sure enough, they were all old nobles with quite a high status. Among the old men in front of them, there are two legitimate imperial counts, and a marquis, two high-ranking officials of the military department, who also have the title of earl.

And the last one is even more prominent, it is actually a member of the royal family - it is said that the old man who looks fifty or sixty years old is the younger brother of the former emperor, and now has the title of some prince, and his rank is even higher than that of His Majesty today!

Joseph was even more surprised when he heard this, and then saw that the old man was indeed somewhat similar to the emperor's appearance in terms of appearance, and there was also a faint royal bearing between his gestures. It's just that I didn't expect that this Norman duke's circle of communication is wide, and even people with the status of a royal prince can come to his dinner, which is really a rich feast!

However, Jose naturally had nothing to talk about in front of these people, and after a few words of greeting, these big men began to talk to Norman again. Norman saw that José's eyes were wandering, smiled deliberately, whispered a few words to the mustache, and the steward led José out of the middle of the hall.

"The Duke has told me to show you around, and if you want to find the Duke of Casa, I will take you to her. The mustache waited until the two of them had come to the side, and whispered beside Jose.

Norman's move made José a lot easier, after all, in front of those aristocratic tycoons, he would inevitably feel unnatural. Thinking of this, Qiao Se smiled slightly: "In that case, then you must know where Duke Casa is?"

The mustache shook his head, but still said respectfully: "Mr. Jose said that he laughed, but although this Duke's Mansion is not small, as the Duke of Casa, no matter where he appears in this mansion, it will definitely attract attention, and it is not difficult to find Lord Duke Casa!"

When he said this, he glanced to the side, and then stopped a waiter with a plate, and whispered a few words in the waiter's ear, and the waiter immediately bowed his head and left.

"Alright, Mr. Chaux, let's wait here for a while, I have already told my men that if I see the Duke of Casa, someone will come and report back to me. The mustache squinted his eyes and smiled at Joseph.

José laughed a little when he heard him say this, and then chatted with the mustachioed butler a few more words.

The Norman Duke's hall is extremely spacious, and it is easy to accommodate hundreds of people, especially the dance floor in the center of the hall, which is quite gorgeously decorated. There are crystal chandeliers hanging on the top, most of the paintings on the walls are the works of some masters in the imperial capital, and the waiters who come and go are also well-dressed, all of them are young male and female servants, and occasionally one or two older stewards pass by with a smile on their faces.

The mustache had obviously been through a lot of such scenes, and it was very natural for him to talk to José, and most of them were talking about the situation of some guests.

For example, the people on the east side of the hall are all young sons of an ancient nobleman, or the middle-aged officer standing under the chandelier, a young Zhuang officer from a civilian background, and a subordinate of the Norman Duke, or a group of ladies and ladies who gather together in twos and threes, dressed in flowers, and a certain noblewoman with outstanding looks is a famous courtesan in the imperial capital.

Joseph also picked up a lot of things from the mouth of the mustache about the aristocratic circles, and the two were talking here, when suddenly they heard a commotion at the gate. Then a servant hurried over and whispered a few words in the ear of the mustachioed butler, whose face showed a look of surprise.

However, he quickly concealed his expression, and while owing himself to Joseph, he walked apologetically and said:

"I'm sorry, Mr. Chasé, I have some important business to do here, and I ask you to visit here at will!Oh, if you're going to the Duke of Casa, I can arrange it for you, she seems to be ......in the banquet hall in the back hall."
