Chapter 173: Conferred Marquis?
Faith Street, Kane family residence.
Li Si and Yassen hurried back in the carriage and saw Duke Harder sitting in the reception room of his home.
Joyce was not with us.
It seems that after Li Si learned his identity, he gradually stopped acting like a butler.
Another servant stood by.
Fuxis drank black tea slowly and said to Li Si with a smile:
"I'm back. I thought you would be at home in the morning, but I didn't expect you to miss it."< br>
"The White Pigeon Merchant Guild has a small matter, Lord Duke Harder."
Li Si replied politely and walked to sit on the sofa opposite Vosys.
"You don't need to be so outspoken. Since you and Yasen are good friends, call me uncle."
Huh?
Why do you feel that Duke Harder's attitude is better than last time?
Li Si was a little curious, but still nodded and said:
"Hello, Uncle Hard, I wonder if you came to see me this time for something?"
"Haha, if you really want to say it, it is indeed a big deal."
Forsyth put down the tea cup and looked a little more serious.
"Li Si, you know that tomorrow the kingdom will hold a Saint Festival celebration in the Triumph Square!"
"Yes."
Li Si nodded, this is every year One of the most important festival celebrations in Bright City, everyone living in Bright City will enjoy these days of celebrations.
"Well, there are two main things."
"First, His Majesty the King is very angry about the Church of All Beasts."
Foxis glanced at Li Si inexplicably, and then Said:
“Very angry.”
“The Holy Festival will be in a few days. The Church of All Beasts dares to invite the evil god to incarnate at this time. They all deserve to die.”
"Fortunately, Li Siqian noticed the plan of the Church of Ten Thousand Beasts in advance this time. Otherwise, if the Lord of Ten Thousand Beasts had successfully descended into the lower city of Bright Light City, the damage to Bright Light City would have been even more serious."
Li Si nodded. He knew this well. The destruction of the Lower City by the Lord of Beasts in the previous life was not ordinary. Even the kingdom's external wars at that time were stagnant for a period of time.
“Therefore, His Majesty the King strictly orders to thoroughly investigate the activities of these evil churches in Bright Light City and resolutely eliminate all these bastards.”
“His Majesty the King also asked me to tell you, If there is any similar information, please tell the kingdom in time."
Forsyth's expression was quite solemn, and he seemed to be very angry about this conspiracy of the Church of All Beasts.
Li Si had no idea and could only continue to nod.
Having said so much, it is better to settle the reward for him first. The kingdom will not want to just give him a condolence.
By the way, if it was just for this matter, would Duke Harder need to make such a serious trip in person?
Seemingly guessing what Li Si was thinking, Duke Harder smiled and continued:
“This is a small matter, mainly the second one.”
"Are you still clear about the process of the Holy Festival?"
"Huh?"
Li Si was a little confused about what Vosys meant.
Foxis smiled, and then explained to Li Si:
"Generally speaking, after the initial sacrifice and blessing ceremony, His Majesty the King will give a speech and canonize the new Nobility and title promotion.”
oh?
Li Si suddenly became energetic.
He knows this well. His Majesty the King will confer new nobles during the Holy Festival celebrations, and there will also be a title promotion ceremony for some palace nobles.
This is also the reason why the kingdom requires all nobles in Bright Light City to be present during the Holy Festival celebration.
Previously, there was a process of depriving guilty nobles of their titles, but in order to encourage civilians to serve the kingdom, this part was canceled by the current King.
So at this time, Duke Harder came to him, and Yassen also hinted that he was the king's intention. Mo De
Forsyth smiled and said:
"Actually, last time you After being received by His Majesty the King, His Majesty the King wanted to make you a court earl."
"After all, you saved Princess Ataya's life, but I didn't expect that before the Holy Festival, you would do it again. The kingdom has made such a great contribution." Li Si did not doubt what Fuxis said.
These are just excuses. Having merit is only one of the prerequisites. It mainly depends on what the person in charge thinks.
Li Si’s teacher is [Flame of Judgment], and His Majesty the King is obliged to raise Li Si’s title as soon as possible to bring him closer to the Kingdom of Fes.
It can be said that it will rise when it reaches a certain point. It is impossible to think of suppressing it.
Li Si had ignored this situation before.
"Coupled with the incident with the Church of All Beasts, Li Si, you have made great contributions to the kingdom and made great contributions."
"So, His Majesty the King has decided to canonize you as the Marquis of Kane on the Saint's Day tomorrow!"
His Majesty the King is so courageous to directly confer a cross-level canonization!
Li Si thought to himself, feeling a little surprised.
Although this marquis title should still be a palace noble and does not have a real feudal territory, it is still quite good.
Not only does the annual royal donation increase a lot, Li Si thinks that new legendary rewards should also be given, which is still very delicious.
"Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty Morton."
Li Si nodded and said respectfully.
Anyway, I got the advantage, so it doesn’t matter if I have a better attitude.
“Haha.”
Foxis smiled softly and said unintentionally:
"Your Majesty Morton also specifically told me to ask Li Si to do more!"
"If you want to marry Her Royal Highness, the Duke's words are more suitable."
Hiss~
< br>What are you talking about, old man?
Oh, His Majesty the King said, then it’s okay.
Li Si scratched his head, he really hadn't thought of this.
Seeing that Li Si heard it, Fuxisi said no more.
“Get ready, His Majesty the King will be the first to consecrate you at the Holy Festival celebration tomorrow, so be mentally prepared.”
“Wear more formally, and don’t need to wear anything else. The Kingdom will be ready."
"I understand."
Li Si nodded. There was no need for him to prepare anyway, the maid Rosie would arrange it.
Seeing that Fuxisi had nothing more to say, Li Si thought for a while and asked:
"Uncle, there is something I want to ask you."
" What do you think?”
“What does the Kingdom plan to do with the Pearl Street area?”
Li Si asked without changing his expression.
"Well, the kingdom is also having a headache. Rebuilding will cost a lot of the kingdom's resources!"
"Can I buy that land?"
"Yeah ? What did you do there? The houses were destroyed?"
Forsyth asked with some confusion.
Because the world is very vast, the value of land here is not very high.
In the city, unless it is a prime location like Face Street, the value of the land is more in the houses on it.
"It was prepared for the Chamber of Commerce. The location is good."
Li Si said, as long as you take it, you will make a lot of money. The location of Mingzhu Street in Xiacheng District is quite convenient, but it is just an upfront investment. It's just relatively big.
“Okay, let me help you pay attention.”
Vosyce said, not really caring.
Anyway, the big nobles in Bright City have their own spheres of influence, and Pearl Street just happened to be cleared.
Li Si is about to become a member of the great nobility, so it is just right for him.
