Chapter 10: The Evil Count
Mercedes VII was very satisfied with this etiquette, listening to the word "long live", his heart was very comfortable, people cannot reach the age of long live, and demigods are not good, only gods!
"Sit down. Mercedes VII sat down, watched the courtiers sit down, and then said, "Today, I have an important matter to announce, Kevin Rhine, my commander, please come over." ”
Marquis Rhine walked in front of Mercedes VII and knelt down on one knee, Mercedes VII stood up and pressed his right palm on the top of Marquis Rhine's head: "The god of the earth is above! Pete Yucaine Mercedes Marquis Rhine Kevin, your exploits are unparalleled in the Empire, and your heartfelt moon can be seen! In the name of Mercedes VII, this king bestows you the title of hereditary duke of the dynasty, the commander of the dynasty and the commander of the Wild Lion Legion, and the three cities of the northern narcissus, roses, and the moon season!"
This seal immediately attracted the shocked eyes of the powerful people present!
At present, the Tudor dynasty only has a fictitious duke, and now, Rhine Kevin is the highest-ranking duke in the Tudor dynasty! or a hereditary duke, such an honor can only be obtained unless it is the founding father or the establishment of a war related to the survival of the dynasty, there is no major war at present, why did Mercedes VII suddenly give him the title?
All the powerful people are speculating, and even when they see the same shock on the face of the right minister, they can probably guess that His Majesty has not consulted with anyone at all about such a gift, and is completely bent on going his own way, why is this?
When they heard about the cities given by Mercedes, the magnates faintly felt that the dynasty might be about to start a war! The "Great Dynasty of the Great Dynasty" in the north had always been ready to make a move, constantly harassing the frontiers of the Tudor Dynasty, and at this time, he was given the title of Rhine Kevin and rewarded him with three cities in the north, but these three cities were all important cities facing the "Great Dynasty"!
After the shock, the magnates did not have too many opinions, although they would feel that Mercedes VII's conferral was a bit abrupt, and even that Rhine Kevin was not qualified for this, but judging from Mercedes VII's insistence, whoever opposed it was unlucky!
There was only one person, when he raised his glass to congratulate, his eyes could not hide a trace of murderous intent, and this person was another Tudor commander, the commander of the Cheetah Legion, Marquis Panson! He sat down in the position below the right minister, and covered the murderous intent in his eyes with the hand of the right minister.
After a round of congratulations, everyone sat down neatly again, but there was always a discordant sound at the table, which caused many people to look sideways, and cast contemptuous and mocking glances at the place where the sound came.
What was that?
It was the sound of Li Xie eating and the sound of tearing food!
Feeling the eyes around him, Li Mouren stopped his movements, chewed the roast meat in his mouth, and said vaguely: "Eat, why are you looking at me?" Don't worry, I won't grab it, I can't eat all the food alone. ”
After speaking, Li Xie ignored everyone and continued to fight on the front line of the disc battle.
In fact, the dinner has not officially started, at least, Mercedes VII did not speak, except for wine, no one will touch the food on the table, and even, few people will eat the food above, they are all nobles, and it is not that they have not eaten, and they will fall into their mouths if they eat too much!
It's just that our Li Daguan can't control this, what manners, what greetings, in his eyes are all hypocritical, why don't you just eat!
What's more, the energy of Li's bite on the palm of his hand has not been replenished by sucking blood, his body is weak, and he is easy to feel hungry, and this meal is his first meal today, as early as when Mercedes VII gave him the title, he has already started eating!
While eating, Li was still thinking in his heart that he would pack some for supper in a while!
"Hahaha......" Mercedes VII looked at Li Xie, laughed, pointed at Li Xie and said: "It seems that this nephew of this king has successfully attracted the attention of all Aiqing." ”
Nephew?
Mercedes VII is the only son of Mercedes VI, no brothers, where did he come from?
Li Xie also stopped, looking at Emperor Tudor, wanting to see what identity this man would give him!
Mercedes VII smiled to himself, pointed at Li Xie and said: "This king understands your doubts, this king's nephew's full name is Ferruccio, Lamborghini, Mercedes, Count Evil, and Li!"
What a name? It seems to be awesome!
Li Xie was confused when he heard it, and probably knew that his surname was "Li", and he was made to have the surname "evil", and the word earl was understood, evil earl, he also became a nobleman!
Of course, Li Xie didn't understand, but the nobles present were clear!
In the Tudor Dynasty and even in the Continent of the Gods, the form of the full name is: ancestral surname, clan surname, title surname, family surname, and first name.
Taking the current full name of Li Xie as an example, Ferruccio is Li Xie's ancestral surname, the surname of the ancestor. Lamborghini is the family name of Li Xie, that is, Li Xie belongs to the Lamborghini family or race. Mercedes is Li Xie's title surname, and there can be many title surnames, which are titles or surnames given by superiors, and between family surnames and family names, they are all title surnames. As for the family name, it is the surname of Li Xie who follows his parents, which may be his father's surname or his mother's surname. The name doesn't need to be explained.
There is no surname "evil" in the Tudor dynasty, at least not among the mainstream surnames, but Ferruccio Lamborghini is the ancestral surname and family surname of the Tudor dynasty's once big family!
Twenty years ago, the Tudor dynasty had "two dukes", one of which was the Duke of Lamborghini! However, after the "War of the Roses" twenty years ago, the "two dukes" fell, and the Lamborghini family was also destroyed in the "War of the Roses", and no one in the Tudor dynasty existed!
Now Li Xie is given the family name "Lamborghini", which means that he will be the only heir of the Lamborghini family! Although the Lamborghini family has been destroyed for 20 years, the territory owned by the Grand Duke of Lamborghini has not yet been recovered by the dynasty, and at least one city is under the name of the Grand Duke of Lamborghini -- Chrysanthemum Flower City -- the place where the Grand Duke of Lamborghini was born.
And the deep meaning of Li Xie's full name is that Li Xie may be the Grand Duke of the Tudor Dynasty! Although the title of Grand Duke of Lamborghini is not hereditary, it is a descendant inheritance, but as long as the merit is sufficient, it is easier to be promoted to the duke title than others, and even if he cannot be promoted to the duke, the marquis title will definitely not be able to run away, it is only a matter of time!
And the status of the marquis who owns the city is not comparable to that of most of the "title nobles" present! This means that Li Xie will be one of the few nobles in the Tudor dynasty who really hold real power!
"He's the grandson of the Grand Duke of Lamborghini?" Earvin Hayes's voice was a little gloomy, his thin appearance couldn't tell his specific age, but his slender eyes were half-squinted, which made people feel unapproachable.
Mercedes VII chuckled and said: "It is my brother, Sean Lamborghini's son, the grandson of the Grand Duke of Lamborghini! This king only learned about this matter a few years ago, and it took great pains to bring him to Yanjing to preserve the last drop of blood for the Lamborghini family, which can be regarded as comforting my brother's soul in heaven!"
Sean Lamborghini is the brother of Mercedes VII, so Mercedes VII called Li Xie, Sean's "bloodline", a nephew, and Li Xie was naturally demoted to inherit his "father's" marquis title and became the "Evil Count".
"I haven't heard that Sean has an heir, is there a fake among them?" said the right minister to express the doubts in his heart, but it sounded more like questioning and doubt!
"Hmph!" Mercedes VII snorted coldly: "My right minister, are you questioning the identity of Lee, or are you questioning this king?"
Right Xiang was startled, and hurriedly clenched his fists: "Weichen doesn't dare." ”
"Hmph, keep your duty! Help this king arrange a vacant position for the evil earl in Yanjing. Otherwise, wait for the evil count to officially inherit the Lamborghini family inheritance. Mercedes VII ignored him and toasted: "The dinner begins, you love to be at your own convenience." ”
"Giggle......"
Li Xie burped in a long tone, and all eyes were focused on him, and by the time Mercedes VII and his right minister Elvin Hayes were eyebrow-eyed, he had gobbled up his fill.
Seeing him sitting on a chair, touching his stomach and looking like he was enjoying it, he once again attracted the contempt of many powerful people!
"This nephew of this king is a countryman, don't be surprised, hahaha......" Mercedes VII laughed again, the more vulgar Li Xie behaved, the less he was valued, the more difficult it was for people to detect his divine presence, Mercedes VII could not be happy? Especially Li Xie's vulgar behavior was so natural, not contrived at all.
Li Xie didn't care so much, anyway, he knew that he was considered a divine presence and would become an existence of a divine descending master, and for a dynasty, its significance was far-reaching, completely enough to change the fate of a country!
Hmph, look down on Lao Tzu, sooner or later Lao Tzu will want you all to kiss the soles of Lao Tzu's feet!
Li Xie swore secretly, and smiled at Mercedes VII: "Your Majesty, don't you mind if I pack some for supper, right? Of course, if you have a supper, I will skip it." ”
Late-night snack?
This question has never been thought about by Mercedes VII in his life! For a while, he didn't know how to answer, but he could only laugh again, and the magnates next to him also laughed in order to echo him.
After Mercedes VII announced the start of the dinner, the main dish was quickly served, it was a few "snow sturgeon arowana", which made Li Xie shout that he was cheating his father, because this fish was really the best thing Li Xie had ever eaten in his life, but unfortunately his stomach was too full, he couldn't eat anymore, he could only look at it and drool, and the snow sturgeon was too precious, even the nobles were difficult to eat, and there were a lot of leftovers on the table.
After the dinner and the ball, many nobles' families also came, but Li Xie was already tired and fell asleep, adding a discordant beat to the melodious dance music at the ball, and also made many young nobles remember this new "evil earl", of course, the impression is annoying and disgusting, if it weren't for the elders who warned that this person would be the real power of the dynasty in the future, there was really no young nobleman willing to come forward to greet this evil earl who slept darkly, but unfortunately, from beginning to end, Li Xie ignored one of them.
