Chapter 178: The Duke
Already a frequent visitor to the teleportation array, Randy didn't engage in unreliable directional teleportation this time.
Instead, he used the return talisman to go to the Demon City first, and took the teleportation array to Fort St. Subertai in the Demon City.
At Liu Ming's suggestion, Randy bought a large number of return-to-city talismans in the Demon City and placed them next to the teleportation array in the Great World Plaza.
Liu Ming's carefulness has now paid off, and it was only half an hour from the time Randy received the call to the time he appeared in the Senate Square of Fort San Subertai, including the time he had discussed with his comrades.
However, Lucia's side was already prepared, and she was even faster.
As soon as Randy came out of the teleportation array, he saw Ambassador Zeng leading two guards to greet him, and next to him was an old acquaintance, Lucia's Foreign Minister Gilles.
The Foreign Secretary personally greeted him, which was quite high.
Gilles smiled, "Lord Lieutenant of the First Class Light Car is so imposing. Actually, our majesty really wants to canonize you, but you must be too careful, please! ”
Randy finally mounts the Orlov horse he had prepared for him and follows the group to Subotai Palace.
Instead of riding the horses prepared by Randy's entourage, Dian Wei took two halberds in his hand and took a big stride, Teng Teng Teng followed closely behind Randy's horse.
The Senate Square was very close to the Subodai Palace, and it was impossible for the nobles to ride their horses at a gallop, so Ah Hua walked around and easily followed Randy.
Mei floats above Randy, waving her claws twice from time to time, pretending to be strong and capable of fighting.
When a passer-by saw the familiar Xiaomei, he immediately stopped and bent down to salute, "Long live the Dragon Knight!" ”
A mocking smile appeared on Ah Hua's face, and it keenly noticed that when he first came out of the teleportation array, the figures of several master assassins and thieves flashed nearby.
Obviously, seeing that Randy was well prepared, with a master like Dian Wei and two super monsters personal guards, the assassination could not be successful, and he had already given up.
This Lucia's officialdom is not monolithic.
Even if what Giles said was true, as the foreign secretary, he couldn't control the secret police to go alone, and the shovel officer's caution was still necessary.
This time I went to Subotai Palace, and I did not enter the office of the foreign minister at the side door. The main gate was wide open, and both sides were full of halberd-wielding guards of the Wang family.
The halberds held by these guards were not only ceremonial, but also useful in actual combat, but Dian Wei, who was holding the halberd, only snorted contemptuously when he saw them.
When he got here, Randy was safe, waved his hand, and let Dian Wei and the two demonic beasts wait outside the palace, and entered the palace with Gilles and Zeng Jiayi.
The small square inside was crowded, and the two sides were full of nobles of all sizes, exuding a master-level momentum.
Nicholas II stood on the steps, with the paladin Budyonny on his left and Kolchak on the right.
There was also an old man standing next to Kolchak, wearing an army general's uniform, who also exuded a saint-level coercion, which Randy didn't recognize.
In fact, Randy fought with him and took advantage of him.
This is Lucia Army General and Saint-level Array Mage Frunze.
Xiaomei once overwhelmed the soldiers he led and suffered heavy losses, but the two sides did not meet directly.
When Nicholas II and Randy met this time, they were actually beaten wolves with a hemp stick, and they were scared at both ends.
Although Randy went deep into the tiger's den, Nicholas II still remembered Randy's god-level forbidden spell last time, and for safety, he took Lucia's three holy levels with him.
Randy looked up at the king on the steps.
Nicholas II was not a cultivator, but he was handsome and majestic, dressed in a full costume, with a saint-level ceremonial sword hanging from his waist, and the so-called kingly demeanor was quite sufficient.
Randy touched his chest with his right hand and bowed, "See Your Majesty." ”
"Lan Qing, you have contributed a lot to Lucia. Now you are contributing even more to the world.
I heard that you forced away the dark knight of the demon clan in Xinkangfu, Bidian Felter, which is really happy.
You saved the passengers of the Titanic, and several families of Lucia nobles who took that cruise ship were rescued because of you.
As Lucia's Knight of the Order of the White Eagle, you have added a lot of glory to Lucia.
Now the abominable Dark Federation has given you the Order of the Federation, and the Elven Federation has knighted you for life.
You're a first-class lieutenant in Great Xia, and you're still a mere knight in Lucia, so you can't help but look stingy.
Therefore, make you Duke of Alaska, and that vast territory will be under your rule. ”
Randy was confused, where is Alaska? Haven't heard of it.
Zeng Jiayi, who followed next to him, grinned, he just relayed Giles's words to Randy, and he didn't know where Lucia wanted to seal Randy.
He also thought that Lucia's conscience had found out that he was going to give Randy the Far East, including Vladivostok, to save Lucia's face, and actually return the Far East to Great Xia, but now it seems that he is thinking too much.
That hellish place in Alaska is near the North Pole, covered with snow and ice, and there are few people.
It could have been profitable to produce furs, but now that production has dropped significantly, Lucia's colonial establishment, Lucia, is now operating at a loss.
The residents of the Maple Leaf Country next to them went to wander around and infiltrate when they had nothing to do, and the Dark Federation was even more eager to try there.
Alaska is far from Fort St. Subertai, and now looks worthless.
Under the infiltration of the Maple Leaf Kingdom and the Dark Federation, Lucia is about to be unable to maintain her rule there, and she is a real chicken, no wonder Nicholas II is suddenly so open.
Although Randy doesn't know where Alaska is, no matter how desolate it is, after all, the area is huge, and people are willing to give it to him, so he still has to be grateful.
I feel very strange in my heart, is this time Lao Maozi really a conscience discovery, and there is no malice? It's not scientific.
No matter what he thought in his heart, Randy bowed, "Thank you, Your Majesty." ”
Nicholas II drew his sword, and Randy still understood this, took two steps forward, came to the bottom of the steps, and fell to one knee.
The King's sword rested on Randy's shoulder, "God of Light is above, and you are the Duke of Alaska, and the people of Stuss are all in your charge."
I hope you will be loyal to Lonely, and block the infiltration of the Maple Leaf Country and the Dark Federation for Lonely. The kingdom's extreme eastern borders will have to be bothered. ”
"Thank you for Your Majesty's attention, I am willing to keep that territory for Your Majesty, as long as Your Majesty and Your Majesty's descendants are in one day, it must be Lucia's land."
This is something that must be said. Now Randy is the Duke of Lucia, theoretically a Lucia, and the upper ruling class.
But if you Nicholas II and your sons are kings for one day, there will be Lucia for one day.
What if one day Lucia had changed......
Randy is still very confident in Suning Ning and his group.
After the knighthood ceremony, Nicholas II turned around and left, without giving Randy, the newly baked duke, a banquet.
The aristocrats, with mocking smiles on their faces, hypocritically congratulated the new companion and dispersed, Alaska? Let's go there and get frozen.
Only Gilles and Chancellor of the Exchequer Vishnegradsky remained.
The Chancellor of the Exchequer bowed to Randy, "Congratulations, Your Excellency.
Remind you that Your Majesty has sealed such a large piece of land for you, and as a courtier, you are going to pay tribute to Your Majesty.
You don't need to pay too much tribute, just give 10 million gold coins. ”
