Looking at the gift list in front of him, Jose was a little surprised: he didn't expect this Norman Duke to be so generous, and he gave himself a gift worth more than 100,000 gold coins at once!

Although he didn't know how much money his Norman family had, such a heavy gift was probably not just to thank himself, right?

According to the purchasing power of the Bright Empire, five gold coins are almost enough for the expenses of an ordinary family of three for a year. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info This is still in the imperial capital with high prices, if it is placed in Moxi and other places, I am afraid that two or three gold coins will be enough!

Such a huge sum of more than 100,000 gold coins is almost equal to the tax revenue of a wealthy small town in the south! And José noticed that although these things were valuable, they were all magic props and raw materials without exception.

Obviously, this Norman knew that he was a magician, even if he gave hundreds of thousands of gold coins, I am afraid that it was not more in line with his mind to send these magic materials, which was deliberately to his liking, and he also put some thought into it.

But this time, it was obviously Norman who was too worried, even if he directly sent hundreds of thousands of gold coins to himself, Lao Tzu would still accept it with joy!

Seeing that Joseph didn't speak for a long time, the mustachioed butler on the side also smiled slightly, and said softly on the side:

"My lord said that Mr. Chaucer is a magician, and may like these knick-knacks. The Normans also had a few storefronts on the merchant streets of the imperial capital, and there were also a few caravans on the north-south merchant road. These things should be thanked to Mr. Chase's rescue, and I hope that Mr. will not shirk ......"

José squinted his eyes and grinned at the mustachioed butler: "Well, very well, tell your lord, I have accepted what he sent, and he will come to the door to pay homage to Duke Norman one day." ”

The mustachioed butler smiled slightly, and when he saw Jose say this, he didn't bother much, but smiled and saluted, and withdrew under the leadership of old Louis.

Su Ya saw the mustachioed butler leave, the smile on her face retreated, and Jose casually handed over the gift slip and sat down in the seat next to her. Su Ya glanced at the gift list, her face also showed a little surprise, and said to Jose with a smile:

"It seems that Duke Norman values you very much, and the things on this gift list are probably enough for him to recruit a middle-level mage with good strength to work for him!"

The corners of Jose's mouth twitched, and he squinted his eyes and said, "You mean, this guy wants to recruit me?"

Su Ya smiled and sat down in her chair as well. Since she returned to the family, she has also changed into a military uniform, and she is wearing civilian clothes at the moment, with a few light makeup on her face, and her demeanor is a little more delicate.

"If it's an ordinary magician, he can naturally be recruited, but you're different. Su Ya raised her eyebrows and said lightly:

"You are not just an ordinary magician, you have just made a war exploit in the northwest, although His Majesty the Emperor's reward has not yet come down, but with the merit of killing the enemy prince, it is a matter of time before you are knighted.

You know, since my grandfather, the outside of the empire has been quite calm, and even some border wars have been minor frictions. This kind of war feat can be said to be the biggest achievement of the empire in more than ten years.

Although on the Macedonian side, your action must have caused them a lot of anger, but I guess they would not dare to rush into the army, but I am afraid that you will be hated by them. And on the imperial side, even if His Majesty the Emperor knows that such military exploits are not practical, in order to buy the hearts of the army and the people, he will definitely reward you greatly.

Hmph, the emperor's mental technique, even if everyone knows it, the kung fu on the scene still has to be done. ”

When José heard him say this, he couldn't help but smile slightly, and said deliberately: "So, isn't I, José, going to become a noble lord? I am very willing, much better than a magician......"

Su Ya knew that he was talking nonsense again, so she didn't say anything, but said with some worry: "You are naturally developed, but I am afraid that you will also be remembered by many people! Especially now that you are too close to me, even if His Majesty the Emperor knows, I am afraid he will not like you too much!"

Qiao Se frowned, and snorted coldly: "What if the emperor doesn't like me, he is not a stunning beauty, why do I want him to like me so much......?"

When the girl heard Jose's words, she thought of the conversation between the two in the garden last night, and her face couldn't help but blush slightly, and she didn't say anything more, but shook her head deliberately:

"You guy don't talk nonsense anymore, this Norman Duke is willing to work hard, I'm afraid he is also deliberately courting you. Norman is a duke and the vice-minister of military affairs of the empire, and only others give him gifts on weekdays, and his gifts are not easy to receive......"

Jose's heart moved, and he couldn't help but look at Su Ya suspiciously: "Speaking of this, I'm a little curious. I've heard that your family doesn't seem to be on good terms with the Normans, but now I'm close to you.

Although he Norman didn't know what the relationship between us was, he must have known that we had some friendship. Now that I'm in your house, he gave me a gift to win me over, which really made me a little puzzled. ”

When Su Ya heard this, she just smiled faintly: "You guy's well-informed, yes, our Ellios family does have some contradictions with those guys in the Norman family."

However, this is all a conflict between my grandfather and several elders in the family and Norman, and as a junior, although I can't say anything, I have never been enthusiastic about this kind of fight.

It's just that Norman has no good intentions towards my Ellios family, and since I am in the family and the head of the family, I naturally will not sit idly by and watch others damage the interests of the family. ”

When Jose heard her say this, he just looked at her with some confusion, and frowned slightly: "But I heard that the Norman Duke seems to have something to do with your family?"

Su Ya nodded, and said calmly: "Joseph, since you asked, then I won't hide it from you." I do have a relationship with Norman, who is still my aunt's husband, my uncle, and Perry is my cousin. ”

The girl's expression was calm when she said this, but she seemed to sigh a little: "The Ellios family and the Norman family were only ten years ago, before that, the relationship between the two families was quite good, and even my grandfather married his only daughter to the eldest son of the Norman family, which is now the Norman duke......

At that time, the Ellios family was deeply trusted by the emperor and could be said to be the largest family in the empire, but the Norman family was far less powerful than the family. In the first few years, the two families were also harmonious, and Perry was even taken by his grandfather to teach martial arts in the family when he was young, and even the ancestral fighting spirit of the family was taught to him, which shows the closeness of the two families at that time.

But later, shortly after my grandfather's death, the relationship between the two families gradually deteriorated for some reason, until it broke down, and finally until now, it has almost formed an antagonistic ......" (To be continued. )
