Chapter 40: Jin Feng (Asking for Recommendation Votes)
"What!" Ulrique's loud voice, even the heavy door of the reception room, could not stop it from invading.
The many maids looked at each other, wondering what was going on, why a baron in a remote area could make King Ulrik unable to maintain his usual calm.
At this time, Leo felt a bit of irrepressible suffocation, and the vast qi machine leaked from the king of Ulrike in front of him, as if every muscle of the other party was bursting with terrifying qi!
At this time, King Ulrike was still holding those letters, and he could naturally easily distinguish the authenticity of these letters, but he didn't expect that those small nobles in remote areas would hook up with the Griffin Knights.
also let the Griffin Knights establish a base there, in fact, the strength of those small nobles, King Ulrike naturally does not care, but as a nobleman, he gave up his glory to do such a treasonous thing, which is what angers him the most.
"Huh...... This is...... Canton?" Ulrike finally found the charred letter that was only a corner, barely making out the family emblem and surname on it, and couldn't help frowning slightly.
"Yes, the Canton family, and our nearby Barony Lordlord family, the former patriarch of the Canton family, Baron Wood, used to have a friction with me. "Leo didn't hide this, after all, the other party is the king of the Lion Realm, and he won't have his own intelligence channels.
If it is deliberately concealed, it will inevitably make people suspicious.
Fortunately, Leo had obviously made the right choice, and King Ulrique's eyes were a little favorable, but he looked at the letter again, but he frowned again.
"What do you know about Wood Canton, and the Canton family?" asked King Ulrik with a frown, his eyes twinkling with thought.
Seeing King Ulrik's performance like this, Leo instantly broke all his original thoughts and said carefully, "I don't know much about him.
It's just that he knew that Wood had served in Long River City, and after cultivating to the fourth order, the old baron died, so he returned to the Canton family to take over as the patriarch of the family and be named a baron, and his strength was a glorious nobleman around the fourth order, and he was ambitious.
As for the Canton family, they are not easy to get along with, I heard that there are various factions in it, and Wood is difficult to convince the public, so he wants to quickly increase his prestige and make a bet with me. ”
"Well," Ulrik didn't care about his image, and slouched on a large exaggerated chaise longue, his eyelids half-closed, and then a faint light shone in his eyes, "the training base of the Griffin Knights."
Presumably, it should also be quite powerful, right? With an ordinary barony, I'm afraid it's hard to win, right?"
"Your Majesty, there was a griffin attendant in the training base at that time, but he was seriously injured, and the injury should have been injured by the Silver Mist Ranger," Leo obviously prepared his speech, with a bit of bitterness on his face, "But even if he can barely get out of bed, just two sword qi will cause heavy casualties to my Lion Realm infantry." ”
"Hmph, I have to say that the ignorant are fearless, and the griffin squire is also the elite of the Knights, and you have a group of Lion Realm infantry with you, and it is almost the same to deliver food to the other party, fortunately, you are lucky to be good. Ulrik muttered, oblivious to Leo's embarrassment.
"But, those Silver Mist Rangers, what do you want to do when you come to you?" Ulrik muttered again, frowning tightly, "And the Canton family, weird......"
This...... Leo forcibly suppressed the heartbeat that was about to accelerate, and the Canton family seemed to have something special?
"That's it," King Ulrik shook his head slightly, and looked at Leo in front of him again, "Baron Leo, you really gave me a big surprise, say, what reward do you want this king to give you?"
"Your Majesty, this is what I should do," Leo replied respectfully, "I already have enough households in my Lanxia Village, and if you can allow him to be built as a city of Wie, I think the increased strength of the Barony of Akmund will be of some modest effect on your rule."
My ancestors fought for His Majesty Alfred during the Scarletal Plague, and after the Battle of the Lion City, the Akmund family has served on the Silver Throne and become the most loyal lords of the Lion Realm. ”
"Hahahaha...... Very well," King Ulrik stepped forward and patted Leo on the shoulder, "You're still the first lord to say that you want to build a city for yourself, and you're much better than those hypocrites."
I like your temperament, a city, although there are only a few giant cities in the territory of the Lion, but there are many ordinary small cities, and there are not many more than you.
Leo Akmund listened to the seal. ”
Leo hurriedly performed a standard etiquette of accepting the reward, but fortunately, the status of the nobles was still very high, even if they saw the king, they did not need to kneel, otherwise they would be depressed.
"Leo Akmund was loyal and promising, and he was promoted to the rank of earl, and allowed him to build a city of his own in his domain. "King Ulrike is really arrogant, and he raised Leo's title on the grounds that he can't get on the big stage like Xianbao.
This......
Leo was a little subconsciously surprised, but he immediately realized the current situation and hurriedly respectfully thanked him.
"Very well, Count Leo, the most important thing for a nobleman is to have the temperament to be unfazed at every turn," said King Ulrik approvingly, though his own words and deeds did not conform to the so-called aristocratic etiquette.
"If you're all right, I'm going to take a look at the little things that keep in my yard, and I'm sure you, Count Leo, won't be of much interest to them. King Ulrik said lightly.
Leo naturally understood that he should leave, when walking on the night road of the palace, the cold wind blew, Leo found that he unconsciously appeared a little cold sweat, and his trip seemed to be a little reckless.
In the memories of these rural nobles before, the king was just a member of the nobles, even if he respected it in his heart, he did not have the authority of the ancient feudal dynasty in his previous life.
But when he saw it today, he suddenly realized how ridiculous the perspective of those little nobles was, the towering Pande Continent, countless forces were surging, but the Lion Realm could be seen in the central place.
As the king, King Ulrike can control such a terrible strength, and he must not be underestimated, and he was a little hasty before.
Along the way, Leo kept reminiscing about today's events, but fortunately, his improvisation at the time was still decent, and he didn't say anything about the Canton family, and King Ulrike was still satisfied with his performance.
Earl......
However, this earl will also be promoted to a noble rank, after all, the territory is still so large, and the actual income is not too high, but it is already a big reward, that is, this King Ulrique, who has a very strong voice in the dynasty, is moody and even faintly has the title of tyrant.
But this is also beneficial, once it meets the other party's appetite, it can even be rewarded directly regardless of common sense, if it is replaced by a Ming Jun, it is something that you don't even think about, and there is also the permission to build a city.
Not everyone can build a city, it has to be filed in the dynasty and get permission from the kingdom's city administration, of course, since King Ulrik has opened his mouth, all this is not a problem.
sacrificed a glazed lion, and also had the credit of destroying the griffin knight training base, in exchange for these rewards, and he also earned a lot of money.
"Lord Leo," but there was a rather shrill voice over there, and Leo looked back to see that it was the court attendant.
"Lord Hute, but what else does Your Majesty have to say?" Leo was also quite respectful, the strength of the other party had been seen before, and he was also the court attendant of King Ulrik, such a person, in his previous life, was the head of the great eunuch and the like, which was quite terrifying.
"Lord Leo, don't say that, I'm an old servant, where can I be called an adult," the Hute attendant said in surprise, although his identity is also extraordinary, but in the eyes of the nobles, he still can't be ranked after all, "It's Your Majesty's entrustment, let Lord Leo report today, it's best not to leak it, he will naturally have arrangements." ”
"Huh?" Leo was stunned, the king of Ulrik seemed to have other plans, but he also said respectfully to Hutt's attendant, "Thank you for mentioning, Leo knows." ”
"Then Lord Leo go slowly," Hutt's attendant's attitude was also a little friendly.
......
The next morning, there was a small turmoil in the whole royal capital, and Baron Leo Akmund, who had come to the royal capital to offer his treasures, made His Majesty feel very happy, and was promoted to the title of earl, and allowed him to build a city in his own domain.
That's the earl's title, just because of the treasure?
Suddenly, many nobles had even spoken a little, but fortunately, Leo's territory was still the size of the original, so it barely calmed down the mood of many nobles.
At the same time, everyone also felt deeply helpless for King Ulrique's arrogant and arbitrary nature.
But any king who can listen to words will not be so easy to promote Leo's title, but unfortunately, the promotion of noble titles can be decided by His Majesty the King with a word.
And the director of the city management department is a close confidant of His Majesty, even if everyone is dissatisfied in every way, and they can't even put forward a little opinion, they are naturally quite helpless.
However, Leo also had a rather mocking title because of this, "Count Xianbao." ”
This, naturally, is not a good reputation.
