Chapter 173: Canonized as Marquis?
Face 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 him.
It seemed that after Li Si learned his identity, he gradually stopped acting like a butler.
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 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."
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 if you came to see me this time for something?"
"Haha, if you really want to say it, it is indeed a big deal."
Vosys put down the tea cup and looked a little more serious.
"Li Si, you know that the Kingdom will hold a Saint 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."
Vosys glanced at Li Si inexplicably, and then said:
"Pretty 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 damage done to the Lower City by the Lord of Beasts in his previous life was not ordinary. Even the kingdom's external wars had been stagnant for a period of time.
"Therefore, His Majesty the King strictly orders to thoroughly investigate the activities of these evil god 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."
Fuxisi's expression was quite solemn, and he seemed to be very angry about this conspiracy of the Church of Beasts.
Li Si had no idea and could only continue to nod.
Having said all that, it’s better to settle the reward for him this time. The kingdom won’t 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?
As if he guessed what Lis was thinking, Duke Harder smiled and continued:
"This is a small matter, mainly the second one."
"Do you still know the process of the Holy Festival?"
"Um?"
Li Si was a little confused about what Vosys meant.
Fuxis smiled and then explained to Li Si:
"Generally speaking, after the initial ceremony of sacrifice and blessing, His Majesty the King will give a speech, and will confer new nobility and title promotion."
oh?
Li Si suddenly became energetic.
He knew this well. His Majesty the King would confer new nobles during the Holy Festival celebrations, and there would also be a title promotion ceremony for some palace nobles.
This is also the reason 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
Vosys 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 you would make such a great contribution to the kingdom before the Holy Festival."
Li Si didn't doubt what Vosys 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 was [Flame of Judgment], and His Majesty the King had no choice but 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 as soon as it reaches a certain point, and there is no way to think of suppressing it.
Li Si had ignored this situation before.
"Coupled with this 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 Marquis of Kane on the Saint's Day tomorrow!"
Directly cross-level canonization, His Majesty the King is so courageous!
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 the annual royal support has increased a lot, Li Si thinks there should also be new legendary rewards, which is still very nice.
"Thank you, Your Majesty Morton, for your kindness."
Li Si nodded and said respectfully.
Anyway, I got the advantage, so it doesn't matter if I have a better attitude.
"Ha ha."
Vosys 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 would be more suitable."
Hiss~
Damn old man, what are you talking about?
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 canonize you at the Holy Festival celebration tomorrow. Be mentally prepared."
"Wear more formally and don't need to wear anything else. The kingdom will prepare it."
"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 more 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. Rebuilding will cost a lot of kingdom resources!"
“Can I buy that land?”
"Huh? What did you do there? The house was destroyed?"
Vosys 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 the initial investment is relatively large.
"Okay, let me help you pay attention."
Vosyce said, not really caring.
Anyway, the great 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.
