Chapter 275: The Emperor's Reward
Sending off the nobles' council, Chase's knighthood review file was quickly approved. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 info
A few days later he received a large parchment dossier, which included various dossiers attesting to his nobility, parchment documents approved by His Majesty the Emperor and the Council of Nobility, and the family coat of arms of the Chasé family.
Jose doesn't have a legal identity in the Empire of Light, and he doesn't even have a surname of his own, but that's not a big deal. Because for many people in the Empire of Light, they don't have surnames, and only the nobles and some scholars and officials and the like have surnames. Most of the ordinary people only have a first name and no surname.
After all, in the entire human world on the continent of Ceylon, even in the most civilized Empire of Light, the number of literate people is only less than one-tenth.
Because in this dossier issued by the Council of Nobles, Joseph's fief was his county seat, which was the county of Sadland in Moxi, so his title was "Viscount of Sadland". In this way, according to the custom of the Empire of Light, his new name is "Joseph Sadland"!
However, since returning from the last dinner, José has moved out of Suya's mansion, after all, if José lives in Suya's Duke Ellos's mansion again, I am afraid that the emperor will inevitably be a little suspicious of José even if he knows that Suya is willing to give up his power. Moving out of Su Ya's mansion as soon as possible, although it will not make the emperor believe that there is not much friendship between the two, but at least it can make His Majesty the emperor have fewer doubts in his heart.
Because José was rewarded by the emperor, he lived directly in an officially established inn in the inner city of the imperial capital, and the environment here was not bad, and José chose a residence with an independent courtyard.
Originally, Joseph could even hire a few servants to serve if he wanted to, but Joseph was not in the habit of being served, so he refused the suggestion. Although the daily expenses are not low, he now has more than 100,000 golden tickets in his hand, and he will only stay in the imperial capital for more than a month, even if it is open, it is definitely more than enough.
In the afternoon, José was meditating in his room when he heard Gould outside the door say that someone was looking for him outside the door, claiming to be a court emissary. Jose immediately walked out of the small courtyard, and sure enough, he saw a middle-aged man dressed in grease and powder outside the door, and he was dressed exactly the standard in the palace.
"Oh, Lord Viscount Sadland, you are courteous!" the court envoy looked at him with enthusiasm when he saw Joseph come out. At this time, Jose also recognized this guy as the same court envoy who had led him into the palace that day.
So Qiao Se also smiled slightly, looked at him and said, "Your Excellency the envoy is polite, I don't know if you came here to find me today, is there any will from Your Majesty?"
When the palace envoy heard Jose say this, the smile on his face became a little thicker: "Lord Viscount is like this, today I did bring His Majesty's will. First, Your Majesty said that after rewarding your position last time, a letter of appointment has been issued in the military department, and it is estimated that someone from the military department will come to take you to report and register in the near future, and from now on, Lord Viscount can also be regarded as a soldier of my Bright Empire, please don't forget this matter. ”
Jose nodded, this should be the military practice of the empire, but I didn't expect that His Majesty the Emperor would specially ask the palace envoy to remind him again.
The palace envoy smiled, deliberately looked at Joseph and said: "Lord Viscount was personally rewarded by His Majesty, Your Majesty naturally has high hopes for you, speaking of which, I have served in the palace for many years, and it is the first time that a person like Lord Viscount who has been appreciated and reused by His Majesty at a young age has seen it, and I believe that Your Excellency's future future must be limitless......"
Joseph knew that this guy was deliberately complimenting himself, just trying to get close to himself, so he also smiled and said lightly: "Your Excellency the envoy is polite, I just made a little credit by luck, and it is just the appreciation of His Majesty the Emperor, and it is reasonable for us to contribute to the empire as subjects." ”
When the palace envoy heard him say this, he also smiled respectfully, and then said: "I didn't expect that Lord Viscount is young, but his temperament is humble and tight. By the way, His Majesty the Emperor, in addition to asking me to inform Viscount José to report to the military headquarters, this second is a reward for you!"
The Emperor's reward for me?!
José was stunned for a moment, but saw that the court envoy smiled slightly, then clapped his hands, and then the two court warriors who followed him quickly got into the carriage, and then carried several boxes of different sizes from a carriage behind him and placed them in front of the door of Suya's mansion.
"His Majesty the Emperor said that since Viscount Sadland has been appointed as the local county guard and is about to report to the military department, he is naturally regarded as an imperial soldier. There was nothing physical in the last reward, so thinking of this, I specially selected a few armor weapons from the arsenal of weapons in the palace and asked me to present them to you, Lord Viscount Sadland!"
When Jose heard him say this, his heart moved, he had received a lot of magic items from Kay and Norman last time, and this time the emperor had sent him weapons. However, Mondevideo IV rewarded himself with so many positions, and now he specially asked the court envoys to bring him weapons...... Hmph, this guy is very good at buying people's hearts!
Thinking of this, José's face immediately changed to a serious look, and even the eyes that looked at those boxes were a little moved and sincere, and the look of the palace envoy was extremely sincere: "Your Majesty's kindness to me, even if I do my best, I will repay Your Majesty!"
Jose said, and even wanted to squeeze out a few tears of emotion, but it was too exaggerated to think about it, so he dispelled this idea, but this expression and look, as well as the words of the oath, suddenly made the palace envoy can't help but be a little in awe of this young nobleman.
The two then exchanged a few more polite words, and Joseph was much wiser and took out a bag of gold coins from his sleeve to give to the messenger. But the guy resolutely shirked it, and said that he really wanted to make José a friend, and he would look down on him for such a thing as taking money.
Jose knew that this guy was pretending to be a gesture and deliberately wanted to show favor to himself, so naturally he stopped insisting. After sending the palace envoy away, the awe-inspiring look on Joseph's face suddenly relaxed.
He touched his nose, looked at the stunned Gould on the side, and rolled his eyes directly: "Go, fat man, bring in the box that this guy sent over!"
