Chapter 243: Knighthood
Just after noon, and the sun had just passed its highest point, a team flew from a distance and fell into Yuming City.
After the leader arrived at the City Lord's Mansion, he did not go directly to the main hall. Instead, he walked to a side courtyard.
A middle-aged man who looked to be in his forties was standing in the courtyard, his face looking a little pale.
"Uncle."
The middle-aged man turned back and looked towards the courtyard door, just in time to see Xu Jiujiu walking in from the door.
"Uncle Emperor, how is your injury?"
The one who has been called uncle for a long time is naturally Xingluo Douluo, the master of the Xingluo Empire's enshrinement hall. After hearing the long-lasting greeting, he raised his hand and waved it gently, "It's not a serious problem anymore. It just needs to be cultivated for a while."
Having said that, looking at Xingluo Douluo's Looking at his face, he realized for a long time that the "a period of time" he mentioned might be longer than expected.
“Don’t talk about me anymore, you probably came here this time because of the battle in Yuming City a few days ago.”
"Exactly, Brother Emperor has heard about what happened a few days ago." Xu Jiujiu paused slightly as he said this, "Uncle Emperor, does that person really have the power of Ultimate Douluo?"
"Not bad." Xingluo Douluo nodded, his tone gradually slowed down, and he recalled the events of that day in his mind.
“When the Mingdou Mountains were breached, I received a blow from the Death God Douluo, and the internal injuries were not healed. Therefore, I did not appear on the frontal battlefield in front of Yuming City that day. I only took action to protect Yuming. The city blocks the aftermath."
"Although it's not from the front, I can feel that the aftermath of their fight is enough to destroy an ordinary soul master."
"And they are from the front. The opposite style has indeed exceeded the scope of ordinary titled Douluo.”
As a ninety-eighth level super Douluo, Xing Luo Douluo is naturally no stranger to the cultivation methods of titled Douluo, and he also has his own "meaning".
Whether it was Tianlong Xiaoyao's "Tianwei" or the stick Wang Nan wielded in the face of Tianwei, the content contained in it exceeded his comprehension. It was undoubtedly the ultimate power.
After hearing Xingluo Douluo's words, he was silent for a long time. Although I had expected it, I still felt a little unbelievable when I heard the evaluation given by Xingluo Douluo himself.
"What have you prepared for him?" Star Luo Douluo was the first to break the silence.
After hearing this for a long time, his expression changed slightly, but he quickly covered it up.
"The imperial brother told me that in addition to the reward from the enshrining hall, after confirming that he has the power of Extreme Douluo, he will be awarded the title of Duke."
"Duke..." Star Luo Douluo murmured muttering to himself.
The Duke is already the highest-level title. In the Star Luo Empire, the Duke has his own fief, can lead troops in battle, and can also form his own private army.
In the history of the Star Luo Empire, except for members of the royal family, there is no record of anyone with a foreign surname being directly awarded the title of Duke.
"Brother Huang said that the situation at this time is different from the past, and we in the Star Luo Empire cannot be stingy, and..." He hesitated for a long time, but still said the second half of the sentence, "And we in the Star Luo Empire need this The power of the Ultimate Douluo.”
"Yes." Star Luo Douluo sighed softly, "Not only the soul guide, but also the cooperation between the Sun Moon Empire and the Holy Spirit Cult, we are also at a disadvantage in terms of top soul masters. Just do as your imperial brother orders. "
"Yes, uncle Huang, Jiujiu resigned."
After that, Jiujiu said no more and left the side courtyard.
...When Wang Nan stepped into the main hall again, in addition to White Tiger Duke Dai Hao, Xu Jiujiu was also sitting aside. Seeing Wang Nan come in, she quickly stood up and stepped forward and bowed slightly.
"Your Majesty Qitian."
"Your Highness the Princess."
After sitting down and chatting for a few words, it took a long time to finally talk about the reason for coming.
"Time was tight last time, so I apologize for not explaining it for a long time. The empire would like to invite you to join the worship hall, and a batch of cultivation resources will be donated every year. In addition, the empire is willing to grant you the title of Duke."
< br>Wang Nan's eyes flashed and he looked up at Xu Jiujiu.
Seeing this, Xu Jiujiu showed a smile and said, "Your Majesty, please don't refuse. The current situation is turbulent and it is the time for the empire to employ people. You have taken action to repel the Dragon Emperor Douluo to ensure the safety of Yuming City. If even you refuse The reward from the empire would be a chilling experience for other people who serve the empire.”
Although there is no “Zigong Redemption of Cows” in this world, there are similar stories. I didn’t expect that Jiu Jiujiu would use this to persuade him to accept the reward.
It has only been a few days since I received the news from Dai Hao, but it is not difficult for the Star Luo Empire to understand some of what happened around Wang Nan, and it also has a rough idea of Wang Nan's character. guess.
Others naturally don’t need to persuade like this, but judging from Wang Nan’s previous performance, he is not the kind of person who is greedy for power. For a long time, I was really afraid that Wang Nan was just serving the public and really refused this Second reward.
But in the end, I still don’t understand Wang Nan well enough. He is actually just like ordinary people. Wang Nan was originally from the Star Luo Empire, so he naturally had no reason to refuse.
"In that case, thank you so much, Your Majesty, and Princess Jiujiu."
"Congratulations, Duke Qitian." There was a smile on Dai Hao's frowning face. He has Wang Nan's fighting power. , which also made him feel a little more settled.
Seeing Wang Nan agreeing so readily, Xu Jiujiu's eyes also lit up, "Okay, regarding Duke Qitian's fiefdom certificate and the enshrinement hall remuneration, I will send them to you later."
"By the way, when I came here this time, I also ordered a batch of soul cannons from Shrek Academy."
"Is it the kind that Shrek Academy brought a few days ago?" Dai Hao suddenly became interested when he heard this.
"Yes, according to people from Shrek, this kind of soul guidance device is not only more powerful than ordinary soul guidance cannons, but also consumes much less soul power. It's a pity that Shrek's production of such soul guidance cannons is not fast. , I can only bring part of it, and I will have to talk about the rest later."
Dai Hao didn't mind this, "Compared with the Sun and Moon Empire, our soul guidance device technology is already far behind. It’s pretty good now.”
As he spoke, Dai Hao stood up and took a map and started drawing on it.
“Tianming City has been broken, and our exploration cannot be deployed under the blockade of the Sun and Moon Empire. We can only rebuild the defense line based on Yuming City to passively resist the enemy.”
“ I hope these soul cannons can work..."
Wang Nan was already the Duke of the Star Luo Empire, and naturally he would no longer avoid him when discussing military affairs with Dai Hao for a long time.
However, despite Wang Nan's amazing combat power, he is really not very good at military affairs. Most of the time, he just listens on the sidelines.
Although you can probably guess Dai Hao's intentions after seeing his arrangement, it is absolutely impossible for him to build such a line of defense out of thin air.
Wang Nan didn’t return to the room arranged for him until the sun set and the moon rose above the branches.
