Great Nobleman

All the way to the palace gate, when he got off the carriage.

Many participants in the awarding ceremony wearing similar styles of dresses have already arrived.

There were also many people from the imperial capital watching curiously.

Imperial soldiers and palace ritual officers were interspersed everywhere to maintain order.

After finding the three ladies Louise, Madeleine, and Shallan who had arrived earlier.

No one stayed at the gate for long.

He went straight into the palace and then came to a hall to wait.

After briefly greeting nearby acquaintances, Brand chatted with the three ladies.

Unlike several elders, Yersen Andy and others, they did not live in Brand's mansion.

Instead, they each took their own subordinates and found a place to stay in the imperial capital.

——They are preparing to enter the aristocratic class of the Kaya Empire in a relatively independent manner.

Of course, outward appearance is one thing, but other aspects are another.

For example, some time ago, the empire lowered the price of merit exchange for land in the tidal submerged zone to a certain level, and more and more land was redeemed by the empire's nobles.

The three ladies did not hesitate to find a place with suitable resources in the south of [Morning Flower Collar] as their future territory.

——Independence is independence, this will not affect our future cooperation!

Except for three ladies, in fact.

The Claude and Cecil families both exchanged for a small territory in the southern part of [Morning Flower Territory], an area flooded by the tide of magic.

To this end, Brand also specially used the White Elf Fish Explorer to explore the resources in these areas for them.

——With Brand’s [Morning Flower Collar] as the core, we have established a future business cooperation framework.

After the tide goes out.

The first thing everyone should do is to build roads connecting north and south and rest stations in their respective territories.

What Brand needs to do is to do a little more.

——He needs to build ports and docks in the coastal areas of the territory to complete the basic conditions for trade with the elves as soon as possible.

In order to achieve this goal successfully.

Brand has recently been considering ordering design drawings and materials for seagoing ships from certain places.

Of course, design brochures and materials alone are not enough.

There is also a need for craftsmen who can realize them.

As soon as this topic came up, Louise said curiously:

"The Earl of Mesa didn't recommend it to you?

During this period, our Mesa family has 'recruited' a large number of slaves abroad, and they are now on their way back to the country.

There are talents in various fields, and I think there will definitely be no shortage of shipbuilding craftsmen you need. "

Hearing this, Brand spread his hands and said:

“Count Mesa’s asking price is too high, and my magic gold coins were not brought by the strong wind.

What's more, Chrissy is also recruiting the manpower I need in the southern part of the Human Alliance.

So let’s talk about this later. "

Speaking of this topic, Shalan said:

“If Mr. Brand needs it, I can also recruit some high-end craftsmen for Mr. Brand.

High-end boat design brochures can also be found.

In terms of price, it is no problem to be lower than other families. "

Madeleine also spoke:

"My situation is the same as Shallan's. If Mr. Brand needs it, just ask. The same is true for Louise."

After hearing the words of the two ladies, Brand asked curiously:

"From the Moon Empire?"

When talking about this question, Madeleine and Shallan looked at each other, and then nodded.

——Although their current position has changed to the Kaya Empire, they still maintain a certain degree of contact with the Munn Empire and even the families behind it.

Shalan said:

“Not everyone in the Munn Empire wants to fight to the end with the Caesar Empire.

For example, the eldest prince’s faction, Mr. Brand knew this even after thinking about it.

In addition, there are actually many ordinary people who are struggling to survive and have no ability to protect themselves, as well as the fire left by some wealthy businessmen in the family.

After this period of fighting, with people's livelihood in decline, a lot of chaos inevitably occurred in the Munn Empire.

Therefore, many people want to stay away from this war through various means before the chaos intensifies.

It doesn’t matter if you pay some price.

Those of us who came to the Kaya Empire in advance, and are now even about to become the nobles of the Kaya Empire, have become the first choice targets of these people. "

As soon as she finished speaking, Louise frowned and said:

"But the question is, will these people cause us trouble?"

Madeleine shook her head and said:

“It’s guaranteed by the contract, so you can rest assured.

In fact, we have now received more than one group of people.

Soon, they will join in the construction of the territory in the north.

In the future, even if the war ends, they will not return to the Munn Empire.

Instead, we will live here as members of the Kaya Empire, just like us. "

Brand nodded and said:

“If there is a contract guarantee, I would be quite interested.

Not only craftsmen, but also people with other talents and specialties, even knights and mages, are what the Morning Flower Leader currently needs. "

As soon as these words came out, Madeline said helplessly:

"Mr. Brand has such a big appetite!

It is difficult for people with power like knights and mages to leave the Munn Empire.

At most, they are just some talented young children.

But they are also the goals we need! "

Just wanted to talk about related topics again.

The palace official suddenly informed:

The investiture and investiture ceremony is about to begin.

Seeing this, everyone in the hall temporarily became quiet.

Subsequently, under the guidance of the palace ceremony officer, everyone entered the venue in order of their title according to the previous rehearsal process.

after a while.

Brand said goodbye to everyone for a while, walked through the corridors of the palace, and arrived at the entrance hall of the palace.

Wait for a moment and receive the message from the short-range communication ring.

Brand stepped into the specially decorated audience hall.

Under the watchful eyes of a crowd of well-dressed royals.

Brand walked up to the Emperor of the Empire, Bernard Fuentes, saluted solemnly, and then stood still.

Immediately afterwards, the master of ceremonies next to him first conducted a lengthy reading of merits, and then the formal awarding of titles and fiefs.

After Brand took the oath according to the rehearsal process.

Bohand also followed the procedure and spoke in a solemn tone to grant Brand the title and fief.

The specific content was more formal than what Brand heard on the screen a few months ago when he received the certificate of title and territory, but the meaning was not much different.

Later, Bohande handed over to Brand the badge representing the title, the seal of the lord, and a long sword representing power.

Brand waited for them to take them one by one, and then saluted again.

This supplementary version of the knighting and canonization ceremony is all over.

Bohande also relaxed and joked:

"See you later at the medal ceremony!"

Hearing this, Brand also smiled and nodded, and then exited the audience hall...

As the ceremony continued, time passed quickly.

When the ceremony finally came to an end, His Majesty the Emperor announced that today's award ceremony was over.

It's late afternoon.

After having dinner in the banquet hall of the palace and interacting with the nobles of the empire.

Brand and others left the palace one after another with smiles on their faces and returned to their respective residences.

After returning home, I showed off the various award medals I received today to my teacher, Catherine, Hisari, Chris and Ivy.

Brand took them to the treasure house under the mansion and stored them in a precious place.

Immediately afterwards, because it was late, Brand was originally going to take a shower and go to bed.

However, Catherine, who had been following her, suddenly said meaningfully:

"Master, now that you have received the title seal, do you want to try using it?

For things like job titles, it seems appropriate to have an official document signed with a name and a seal. "

After hearing this, I glanced at Catherine who was looking at her intently, as if she just said it casually.

Brand nodded seriously and said:

"That's true. If we delay it any longer, my maid may not be able to sleep tonight!"

Hearing this, Catherine couldn't help but blushed instantly.
