Chapter 173: Canonizing the title of Marquis?
Faith Street, the residence of the Kane family.
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 housekeeper.
Another servant stood by.
Fuxis slowly drank the black tea 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 be there.”
“The White Pigeon Merchant Guild has a small matter, Lord Duke Harder.”
Li Si replied politely, walked to the sofa opposite Vosys and sat down.
"You don't have to be so outspoken. Since you and Yasen are good friends, please call me uncle."
Um?
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 why you came to see me this time?"
“Haha, if you really want to say it, it is indeed a big deal.”
Phose put down the tea cup and looked a little more serious.
“Li Si, you know that the Kingdom will hold a Holy Festival celebration in the Triumph Square tomorrow, right?”
"Know."
Li Si nodded. This is one of the most important festival celebrations in Bright Light City every year. Everyone living in Bright Light City will enjoy these few days of celebrations.
“Well, there are two main things.”
“First, the matter with the Church of All Beasts makes His Majesty the King very angry.”
Phosse glanced at Li Si inexplicably, and then said:
“Quite angry.”
"The Holy Festival will be in a few days. The Church of All Beasts dares to invite the evil **** to incarnate at this time. They all deserve to die."
"Fortunately, Li Siqian noticed the plan of the Church of All Beasts in advance this time, otherwise if the Lord of All Beasts successfully descended into the lower city of Bright Light City, the damage to Bright City would be even more serious."
Li Si nodded. He knew this well. The damage done to the lower city by the Lord of Beasts in the previous life was not ordinary. Even the kingdom's external wars were at a standstill 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 that if there is any similar information, please inform the kingdom in time.”
Phosse'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 think of just saying condolences.
Speaking of which, if it was just for this matter, would Duke Harder need to make such a serious trip in person?
As if he guessed 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?”
"Um?"
Li Si was a little confused about what Fuxis meant.
Phosse 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 will confer 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 why the kingdom requires all the nobles of Bright Light City to be present during the Holy Festival celebration.
Previously, there was a link to deprive 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, so he couldn't
Phochis smiled and said:
“Actually, after you were received by His Majesty the King last time, 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 make such a great contribution to the kingdom." 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 [The Flame of Judgment], and His Majesty the King must 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, and 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 and merits to the kingdom.”
“So, His Majesty the King has decided that you will be canonized as Marquis of Kane on the Saint's Day tomorrow!”
His Majesty the King is so courageous to directly 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 fiefdom, it is still quite good.
Not only has the annual royal support increased a lot, Li Si thinks that new legendary rewards should also be given, which is still very nice.
“Thank you, Your Majesty Morton, for your kindness.”
Li Si nodded and said respectfully.
At any rate, I have taken advantage, so it doesn't matter if I have a better attitude.
"Ha ha."
Phochis smiled softly and seemed to say 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 is more suitable.”
What are you talking about, old man?
Oh, His Majesty the King said it, 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.
“Be prepared, His Majesty the King will be the first to consecrate you at the Holy Festival celebration tomorrow, so be mentally prepared.”
“Wear something formal, nothing else, the kingdom will be ready.”
"I see."
Li Si nodded. There was no need for him to prepare anyway, the maid Rosie would arrange it.
Seeing that Fuxis had nothing to say, Li Si thought for a while and asked:
“Uncle, there is something I want to ask you.”
"you say?"
“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, and rebuilding will cost a lot of the kingdom's resources!”
“Can I buy that land?”
“Huh? What are you doing there? The houses are all destroyed?”
Phosse asked with some confusion.
Because this 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 this, 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 the initial investment is relatively large.
“Okay, let me help you pay attention.”
Phochis said, not really caring.
Anyway, the big nobles in Bright City all 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.
