"Is the enthronement ceremony coming?" Feng Willow asked. He hadn't heard anything about it beforehand. The imperial enthronement ceremony should be very grand, and he shouldn't be notified at the last minute like this.

"No, it's His Majesty who wants to summon you alone. The imperial enthronement ceremony will take some time." The visitor said.

"Why did His Majesty summon me alone?" Feng Willow asked puzzledly.

"We don't know about that. Maybe His Majesty has heard of your name, the Count, from somewhere!" The visitor saw Feng Willow asking questions repeatedly, but he didn't say anything at all, with a stern face and no smile at all.

Although Feng Willow is a modern man, he really has no experience of taking bribes. Sai Ya can see it, but she doesn't have much money in her hand. If she takes less, it will be a slap in the face, so it's better not to give it.

After the guard left, Sai Ya said that he should give gifts, but Feng Willow didn't take it seriously. He is a great imperial earl, and he still needs to give gifts to a guard who is a messenger?

"I don't know if the emperor summoned me, but it's a good thing or a bad thing." Saiya said worriedly.

"It should be a good thing, right? If it's a bad thing, it won't be a guard who came to tell me, but the Griffin Knights." Feng Willow said without any worries.

On the first day they arrived in the imperial capital, they saw the famous Griffin Knights, a team of ten people, patrolling the sky above the imperial capital.

Early the next morning, Feng Willow followed the carriage that came to pick him up into the palace. Being able to send a carriage to pick him up shows that he still has some value in the emperor's heart, and Feng Willow is quite proud of it.

"Your Majesty." Feng Willow bowed and saluted.

"Count Willow, no need to be polite." The emperor is a young man in his twenties, Light VI, who is very strong. He is not wearing ordinary clothes, but a golden armor, with a bright red cloak behind him, and the whole person looks heroic and extraordinary.

When he speaks, it is also like a spring breeze, at least Feng Willow's first impression of him is not bad.

"I have heard of your reputation, Earl Willow. This time, I was not disappointed. He is as powerful as the young earl I imagined. He is worthy of being a strong man who can conquer the ghost ship and destroy three thousand musketeers in one battle." Light VI praised enthusiastically.

Although Feng Willow himself is quite confident, he is still a little scared when facing the emperor's flattery. He always feels that it is not a good thing.

The emperor of such a big empire actually came to praise him so much. If he said that the other party had no purpose, Feng Willow really didn't believe it. He couldn't want to conquer him, right?

Moreover, the other party actually knew everything he had done so clearly. Except for the 800 kilograms of gold, which few people knew, the other party actually knew everything else.

It was not strange that the emperor knew Feng Willow about the destruction of three thousand musketeers in one battle, but it was a bit strange that he also knew about the conquest of the ghost ship.

However, Feng Willow quickly reacted that there were still two traitors alive among his men. It should be those two guys who reported their details to the higher-ups.

"It is my honor to be favored by His Majesty." Feng Willow bowed his head and said. I don't understand what the emperor means.

"Don't be too reserved. You are capable. The empire needs young and promising nobles like you now. I know you are confused, and I will explain it to you." Light VI said gently.

"You are also a powerful sequencer. You should have some basic understanding of our world.

It is now the 416th year of the Sixth Era. This means that the magic tide has begun to rise. With the rise of the magic tide, various extraordinary resources have become more and more abundant, and it will become easier for sequencers to be promoted. High-level sequencers will soon appear.

As the magic tide continues to rise, the gods who are trapped in slumber will gradually wake up from their slumber.

Now some mineral veins containing magic have begun to be discovered in various places. Do you know what this means?" Light VI said solemnly.

"What does it mean? Isn't it a good thing that there are more sequencers?" Feng Willow said deliberately pretending to be stupid.

"There are more and more sequencers, and various sequencer inheritances have also appeared in the world, which means that the existing order will be broken. This is something the empire does not want to see in any case.

So the empire is vigorously developing science and technology, hoping to use technological weapons to enable the people to have the power to fight against sequencers.

Various extraordinary mineral veins containing magic power have become very important. It will also be the focus of the struggle of the major empires in the next period of time." Light VI introduced.

Feng Willow still couldn't understand why the emperor said this to him. His territory only had a dragon city and a few small towns and villages nearby.

If the sky falls, there will be tall people to support it. What His Majesty said has nothing to do with him.

"The empire strives to develop science and arm the people, and it also needs to cultivate high-end sequencer combat power. Prepare for future chaos.

After reading your information, I think you are a talent. And you are from our imperial aristocracy. The empire is willing to train you to become a high-end combat force of the empire sequencer in the future. Are you willing?" Light VI said solemnly.

"There is such a good thing? Pie in the sky?" Feng Willow was a little unbelievable in his heart: "Are you not drawing a pie in the sky?"

Although he didn't believe it in his heart, his body reacted quickly: "Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty. I will work hard to maintain the order of the empire. I will work hard for the strength of the empire until my death."

"Okay, but before that, I have a task for you." Light VI said.

Feng Willow knew that pie would not fall from the sky. "Your Majesty, please give me your orders. For the sake of the empire, I will definitely live up to your trust."

"You also know that the Old World has been divided up by the four empires, but in the New World, all kinds of extraordinary resources are very rich. I heard that the Finn Empire has discovered a large magic gem mine in the New World.

I heard that you have a big conflict with the Finn Chamber of Commerce, and you once robbed the Finn Chamber of Commerce in the Luodan Port of the Snowy Empire. You also have a ghost ship in your hands.

So I need you to keep an eye on the ship of the Finn Chamber of Commerce and rob the extraordinary resources they transported back from the New World. I will issue you a privateering license.

You have a ghost ship in your hand. Even if you rob the ship of the Finn Empire, they will only think that it is bad luck and they encountered a ghost ship." Light VI said solemnly.

"Your Majesty, how long will this mission last? You also know that I still have territories to govern... I can't be outside for too long." Feng Willow said with difficulty.

"I also know that this mission is not easy, but don't worry, it won't take too long. The Empire is organizing a fleet to attack Silver Sand Port in the New World. When the Empire seizes Silver Sand Port, which has a large magic gem mine, your mission will be completed." Light VI persuaded.

Feng Willow was still hesitant. It was not that he didn't want to go, but the emperor in front of him didn't give any benefits. It's not appropriate to ask him to work hard after drawing a circle of pie.

Although Feng Willow did not reject this order, he originally planned to go to the New World to conquer a piece of land. After all, the territory of the Empire is still under the jurisdiction of the Empire. How can you be free as a local emperor in the New World?

Feng Willow saw that Light VI had not mentioned the benefits, so he simply asked for it himself: "Your Majesty, I don't know what support the Empire can give me when I carry out this mission?"

"The Empire can support you with some of the latest weapons." Light VI thought for a while and said.

"Your Majesty, I want 500 of those steam machine guns. Does the Empire have more advanced military weapons, such as steam cannons? I also want 50 of them.

Magic crystals, prepare a few thousand for me first. Oh, and I also need hundreds of thousands of bullets for steam machine guns.

And sea ships, I heard that the Empire now has the latest steam warships. All warships are made of steel. Can you support me with one?

Your Majesty, as long as I have these things, I will definitely be able to cut off the Finn Empire's sea transportation line." Feng Willow opened his mouth directly.

"No! The Empire hopes that you can fight on your own.

The Empire is preparing for a war with the Finn Empire, so all kinds of strategic materials are in short supply. Otherwise, I wouldn't think of letting you go.

It is because of the ghost ship in your hand that you are asked to plunder the transport ship of the Finn Empire. If you let the ironclad steam warship go, wouldn't it be all exposed?

But after the matter is done, you will be the key training of the sequencer combat force of the Empire. The Empire will train you with all its strength so that you can have more advantages when the magic tide rises." Wright VI shook his head and said.

"It's just a big deal, so you think I'm a fool?" Feng Willow thought indignantly.

"Your Majesty, the Empire can't really not give me any support, right? If there are no ironclad battleships, there should at least be some steam machine guns, right?" Feng Willow cried poorly.

"This can provide you with ten at cost price, and bullets and magic crystals can also be cheaper." Light VI said.

"Your Majesty, I work for the Empire, do I still need to spend money to buy them?" Feng Willow said aggrievedly.

"You work for the Empire, the Empire should indeed give you some rewards, but you killed Earl Edric and robbed the Earl's title and territory. Do you really think that the Empire is a place without order? Or do you think that the Empire is no longer able to take care of your affairs?" Light VI said majestically.

But he soon changed his tone and said: "This Earl's title and the territory of Dragon City are the rewards given to you by the Empire. The Empire will not pursue this matter anymore. What do you think?"

"Your Majesty is wise, and I think it is very reasonable." Feng Willow said helplessly. It turned out that the emperor was waiting for him here. The empire was still orderly after all. He made a big noise by seizing the title this time.

It seems that this meeting was both a warning to him and a mission. Perhaps Wright VI checked his information just to warn him. As a result, he found that he had a ghost ship, and then he decided to drive him to become a pirate.

In this regard, it was far less straightforward than the New World. When he was in the New World, he still missed the order in the Old World.

Now, he only felt that the rules in the Old World were restricting him, and he missed the New World without order.

"Don't worry, I won't really give you no reward. The long-term contract signed by your fiancée Talis and the Empire can be returned to you. And everything Talis learned in the Royal Champion Knight Academy in the future and the resources consumed can be provided free of charge as a reward for you." Wright VI was giving a slap in the face and a sweet date.

"When you return triumphantly, I will personally preside over the wedding for you and Tallis." Light VI said with a smile.

"Then I would like to thank your Majesty." Feng Willow bowed and said.

"You are welcome. The enthronement ceremony will be held in a week. After the enthronement is completed, you will leave for the New World." Light VI said to him.

After leaving the palace, Feng Willow went to the Imperial Academy of Sciences first and received the ten steam machine guns that Light VI promised to give him. There were also 100,000 rounds of bullets. However, the Empire was much more stingy with the magic crystal and only gave him ten pieces.

At the cost price, a steam machine gun only cost him 150 gold coins. Thinking about the two steam machine guns he bought for 500 gold coins before, Feng Willow felt that he was cheated. Arms are indeed very profitable. If this steam machine gun is shipped to the New World, let alone 1,500 gold coins, it is estimated that 2,000 gold coins can be sold.

Including the ones he bought, there were twelve steam machine guns. Feng Willow had no intention of taking these things away. He planned to put all of them in the territory. In this way, after he left, the safety of the territory would be assured.

"Professor, does His Majesty the Emperor want to see you for something?" Sai Ya looked at Feng Willow with a bad face and asked worriedly.

"Nothing, just talked about the previous competition for the title, saying that I went too far. At the same time, he gave us a task. I'm afraid we will leave here soon and need to return to the New World." Feng Willow said.

"This time, it's actually not easy to do. If you don't do it well, you will easily lose your life. If you don't want to go, I can keep you in the family and continue to preside over the work in the family." Feng Willow asked.

"No need, professor, of course I will stay with you. I still have to learn the knowledge of sequence from you." Sai Ya said with a smile, seeming to be happier than before.

She can accompany Feng Willow, but that Talis can't even see Feng Willow's face. In the future, she will not see him when she goes to the sea.

The enthronement ceremony was not as majestic and beautiful as Feng Willow had imagined. Light VI cordially received all the nobles, and Feng Willow's title was completely finalized. From now on, he was an imperial earl, which was reasonable and legal.
