333. Advanced Court Count
While his subordinates were harvesting the Black Mentor's legacy, Rand in the palace had barely slept the night before, and as soon as he had dealt with the Assassins, he began to prepare a large number of gifts.
Rand's canonization this time includes two titles, His Majesty's Court Earl and Archon of Night Qicheng, from the perspective of the sacred supreme council of the Human Empire, Rand's consul has been appointed by the Imperial Quanxu Division on May 22, but the direct territory of the empire does not border the Galloping Horse Plain, and the task of defending Night Qicheng can only be done by the pillars of the Dragon Kingdom that only borders it, so King Dusen of the Dragon must first recognize the kingdom's protection responsibility for the Galloping Horse Plain in the official documents of the kingdom, It is clear that Rand is the supreme governor of the kingdom in Night Qicheng.
Previously, the ceremonial officials of the royal palace had come to summon the news, and the main nobles in the kingdom would come to watch the ceremony, so Rand needed to prepare thank-you gifts for dozens of counts, marquises, dukes, and His Majesty's court counts and court marquises.
The gift rand is already ready: the Galloping Horse Deluxe Set, which includes 2 bottles of 1-liter Galloping Horse, 2 magic thermos cups, 4 magic glasses; Of course, the other two dukes of Guozhu also have to send a set of 3 tripod tableware.
Fortunately, with the portal in the basement of the palace, family members such as Rand and Huck don't even need to take a car to the palace, and naturally they won't encounter a traffic jam before their promotion ceremony.
Compared with Li Qi's battle that day, the morning ceremony simplified many steps, all the nobles above the earl level came to participate alone, and the place of the ceremony was also in a medium hall.
Before the official ceremony, King Dusen met with Rand alone.
"In the morning, Richelieu told me that you helped Li Qi clean up the streets outside the city last night." Dusen asked Rand with a smile on his face, and it was clear that he saw last night's event as a cooperative goodwill on Rand's part, which made him very satisfied.
"I'm the head of His Majesty's Knights, and that's what I'm supposed to do." Now that the court title has risen, the place of Lante's name has also changed, and he is still the honorary head of the knights on Dragon's Tooth Mountain, and the area is around the palace of the Galloping Horse family.
"Last time, I said that you are a model among the knights and nobles of the kingdom, your last few actions have been very good, if every nobleman could be as dedicated to his duties as you, the empire would have planted the flag in the orc court a long time ago!" The rest of King Dusen's speech is very similar to the leadership of Rand in his previous life, what is to improve his position, implement the will of the god emperor, strengthen training, do not forget the rules of knighthood, strengthen unity, communicate more with nobles, and finally spread out branches and leaves, solve personal problems, and so on.
In the face of the king's personal guidance, Rand naturally nodded yes constantly, and wanted to write it in this year's Night Qicheng Consulate documents.
The later canonization ceremony was not very long, and in the presence of the Galloping Horse family and the high-ranking members of the kingdom, the king personally brought a badge symbolizing the count on Rand's dress, which was flush with the three badges of the Viscount, the Knight, and the Knights of Longya Mountain on Rand.
When the ceremony was over, after receiving the congratulations of the other nobles, Rand found that his father Huck and uncle Albert had red eyes.
"Father, I see that you are not so excited at your own earl canonization ceremony!"
"Of course it's different," Huck wiped away his tears with a silk handkerchief,
"Our family's dream of hundreds of years has finally been seen in my generation, when Albert went to the royal capital, how much was squeezed out, and my father could receive letters of complaint from other galloping horses every month, and now we have finally restored the glory of our ancestors!"
"Huck, you just need to restore your glory, I don't need to talk about that little thing here." Albert scratched his head.
Rand invited the nobles to the palace for their celebratory ball tomorrow evening, and then returned to the palace with his relatives.
Throughout the afternoon, Rand had to personally receive the guests who visited the palace, most of whom were the eldest sons of the great nobles or the minor nobles themselves, and they came with the same purpose, hoping that their descendants could find a job under Rand.
Most of these recommended children are between the ages of 14 and 16 and are apprentices. Many of them are the 4th and 5th sons of the main branch of the great nobles, or the 2nd and 3rd sons of the side branches, although such children stimulate the bloodline, but there are not enough resources or positions in the family to support them, so they can only be allowed to work as knights in other families.
Now that Rand has developed the Galloping Horse Plain, it is the time to employ people, and the establishment of the knights is as big as they want, and they are naturally targeted by many families.
However, these children are not gold players like Tierney, and it is impossible to get thousands of gold coins of equipment at the first shot, so they can only train with the Knights first.
Rand does have a large knight gap now, whether out of demand or human accident, each family has an apprentice who will serve as a palace guard first.
In the evening, Emmanuel arrived at the palace with two and a half dwarves and 20 children, male and female, most of their parents had demonic blood, and the other was a servant, lover and even slave of the nobles.
"My lord, yesterday I assisted Knight Dugan, Knight Tierney, and Mage Grua in clearing some of the lair of orc assassins" The first thing Emmanuel did when he saw Rand was to report on the harvest in the early morning.
"Well, that's good" Early in the morning, Dugan Blue Dragon naturally reported it, and handed over all the potions, gold coins, and magic pattern tools to Rand for distribution.
Rand was satisfied that his subordinates were able to take the initiative, but only gave him a little advice, leaving some potions and magic plants.
Seeing that Rand didn't pursue it, the mercenary was pardoned, and quickly introduced the children around him: "These 5 children all have the bloodline of the Dragonborn, and their father or mother has been a servant in several dukes' families, and the bloodline also comes from there."
"Especially her, Willis," Emmanuel patted a rather thin girl on the shoulder,
"Her father is a dragonborn mage, and her mother's family still has the blood of elves, and it is likely that the bloodline will be stimulated in the future!" After two days and one night, Rand was very sleepy now, but he still listened to Emmanuel very politely after introducing each child, not only paid for the ultra-long-term employment of all 22 people, but also gave Emmanuel 20 gold coins.
"This is the reward you deserved for bringing out the Magister yesterday, and the rest of your harvest is the result of your own labor." Rand shoehorned the gold to the knight in a tone that could not be refused, considering that the Assassins were solely for Rand, and that he was paddling the entire time in the battle, the money was actually a deposit for Rand to cooperate with him for a long time.
"If there are any good seedlings in the future that you think are good, you can send them to me." Rand, who had sent away the mercenary knights, did not stay in the master bedroom of the palace, but returned to the cellar of Night Qi City to sleep in a tent, because he knew that only when the western border was fixed could he really sleep peacefully and comfortably.
