Chapter 436 Robbery

In fact, the emperor's order has already caused Catherine to suffer a loss, because logically speaking, she should not start a new one, but directly transfer the championship knights that Catherine led to her.

But the Champion Knights are too important. They are the most elite troops in the Griffin Kingdom. They are small in number but extremely powerful in combat. It can be said that it is the sharpest knife in the emperor's hand. If it is handed over to others, the emperor will not even be able to sleep peacefully.

That’s why he simply asked Catherine to form an army of her own. Although it was said that the quota was 5,000, it actually included the guards given by the Holy See. In this way, he only needed to get some ordinary warriors to show off. In this way, you can save your own face without creating a threat to yourself. It can be said that it kills two birds with one stone.

In addition, there are some rewards such as fiefdoms or items. Although there are a lot of them, they are not that great. At least in front of Lao Xie, a rich man, they are not attractive at all.

Then there is the reward for Lao Xie. As the person who contributed the most to killing the Lich King, his official reward is not bad, he is directly a duke. Although it is only a third-class title and cannot be hereditary, for a teenage boy to be able to obtain this title due to his merits is really commendable. As a result, the Stephen family has three dukes at the same time, namely the old mage, the fat man and the old evil.

Although in the end only one dukedom can be hereditary to future generations, the story of the three dukes can be passed down. So after the old mage saw him, he was extremely happy, so much so that his face turned into a smile.

What follows is a series of rewards, and the fallen blue general is naturally the top priority. Everyone else, as long as they are champion knights who participate in the battle, are also made nobles. Those who are nobles themselves are directly promoted to three levels. certainly. Time is tight today, and it is obviously impossible to handle the formal promotion ceremony for so many people, so the promotion ceremony will be postponed to a later date. Today is just an announcement.

The other thing is the pension for the soldiers who died in the battle, although this time it was a big victory in the end. But at the beginning, it was a super disastrous defeat. The 200,000 griffon regular army was on the second line of defense, and almost all of them were killed by the Lich King Melancholy's forbidden spell earthquake. Can run out. In addition to the Saint Domain masters such as the Gale Sword Master, the Old Mage, and several other major generals, the rest were almost completely destroyed.

So, when he thought of the pensions for so many people, plus the huge investment in training the new army, and the millions of gold coins lost all at once, the emperor suddenly felt a burst of heartache. But no matter how painful it is, he still has to pay, otherwise. Who will join the army in the future?

In short, today's ceremony was carried out very enthusiastically and smoothly, regardless of the emperor, nobles or soldiers and civilians. All quite satisfied. It's just a bit cumbersome, but after all the trouble, it will be almost dark.

The emperor directly ordered a banquet. Today's banquet is undoubtedly a state banquet, and everyone who comes can receive free food and drinks. This can be considered a kind of celebration.

As for the high-ranking nobles, they were even more particular. They held a grand bonfire party in the college. The commotion lasted until dawn.

The drunk nobles were staggering around, and many of them simply crawled on the grass and fell asleep. And Lao Xie was somewhat tired. It's not that he was really tired, it was just that he drank too much last night. There is no other way. As the hero who killed the Lich King, of course everyone wants to get to know him and toast him. This way you can save face when you go back and talk to others. The eldest princess Catherine has a noble status. She is a princess, and people with insufficient status cannot disturb her, so naturally they can only come to Lao Xie.

Although the Griffin Kingdom is large, the circle of nobles is really small. Almost every noble has some relationship with the Stephen family. Of course Lao Xie didn't know, but the fat man and the old mage next to him both understood. Every time a wave of people comes. Old evil people have to drink with others.

You know, there are tens of thousands of nobles attending this event? Even if ten people toast a glass of wine. That’s several thousand cups too. The cups at the banquet were not small, and could hold almost half a catty of wine. In total, Lao Xie was poured into a thousand catties of wine yesterday.

If he hadn't been so good at Xuan Gong and forced the drink out as he drank, he would have been strangled to death. However, Lao Xie also gained something, because after drinking yesterday's meal, almost everyone in the aristocratic circle of the Griffin Kingdom knew each other, which was obviously very beneficial to his future development. Although Lao Xie doesn't care much about this kind of interpersonal relationship, it is still essential. Because he is still very weak now, he may have to use these people sometimes. Of course, if his strength returns to its peak, he will naturally be qualified to ignore these guys, but unfortunately he is not able to do so now.

After finally finishing it, Lao Xie dragged his exhausted body back to the magic tower and fell asleep. It was not until night fell again that he got up in a daze. As soon as he walked out of the bedroom, he received a message from the old mage, asking him to meet in the lobby on the third floor after waking up.

Lao Xie had no choice but to give up his plan to eat for the time being, and went to the third floor hall first, only to find that not only the old mage was there, but also Catherine. So he couldn't help but said strangely: "Are you waiting for me here?"

"Yes!" The old mage rolled his eyes at him and said, "You kid can really sleep!"

"You still have the nerve to say it!" Lao Xie said dissatisfied: "I was fed several barrels of red wine in one breath. It's good that I didn't die!" After saying that, he sat down on the sofa angrily, and then ordered Lily Si Dao: "Get me something delicious!"

"Yes, Master!" Lilith hurriedly agreed and turned around to go out.

"Haha!" The old mage said with a smile: "This is all necessary entertainment, and there is nothing I can do about it. But having said that, you are indeed extraordinary. I thought you were going to be fooled, but unexpectedly I was stunned. You got through it. Now, even if you don't have those achievements, your drinking capacity is enough to be considered a celebrity in the aristocratic circle."

"What kind of **** celebrity is he who can drink?" Lao Xie curled his lips disdainfully, and then suddenly said: "By the way, you are looking for me just because you can drink, right?"

"Of course not!" The old mage suddenly said seriously: "We are looking for you about the Summoning Stone."

"Summoning Stone?" Lao Xie immediately asked curiously: "What's the matter with this thing?"

"Oh, that's it!" the old mage said slightly dissatisfied: "The emperor knows the news that you have the summoning stone, and wants you to hand it over, say something, and keep it in the national collection. Humph, to put it bluntly , Aren’t you going to give it to the third prince and the little princess Lan Snow?”

"Ha, doesn't he have a fever in his head?" Lao Xie immediately sneered: "How can I give him my things?"

"Who knows what he thinks!" The old mage shrugged, and then guessed: "Maybe the queen wants it, but she can't come forward, so she can put pressure on us through the emperor!"

"I don't care who puts pressure, it just won't work!" Lao Xie said directly: "The same goes for the Emperor! By the way, Catherine, you didn't give him the Summoning Stone, did you?"

Lao Xie was a little worried about Catherine, fearing that she would be deceived by the emperor.

"No!" Catherine shook her head and said: "After all, this is something given to us by the Dwarf King. If we transfer it like this, it would be a very rude behavior towards his old man. So, I resisted my father's wishes. pressure. But he didn't give up yet, he just asked me to think about it. He said that I was already strong and there was no need to waste such precious things. It was better to leave it to those who needed it. Although he didn't say it clearly, he meant it. It’s obviously intended for the third brother.”

"Haha, it's okay if I didn't give it, but don't let that old guy fool you!" Lao Xie said with a smile.

However, Catherine shook her head and said: "Although I didn't give it at the time, I am a little shaken now. After all, the third brother's eyes were blinded by me. In fact, it is not a bad idea to give him this as compensation. Anyway, I have always been alone. After all, it’s the same without pets.”

"That's not okay!" Lao Xie immediately objected: "The third prince is to blame for being stabbed blind by you. He deserves it completely and is not worthy of sympathy at all."

"Of course I know what he did to me. But, he is my brother after all!" Catherine said helplessly.

"Just treat him as he is!" Lao Xie said impatiently, "In short, this thing is a gift from the elders, you can't give it to others at will. Otherwise, it will be difficult to explain it to the dwarf country!"

After saying that, Lao Xie turned directly to the old mage and said: "Can you prepare the magic circle immediately and use the summoning stone? Now it seems that I don't care, but Catherine may have long nights and dreams!"

"I think so too!" The old mage then said: "But the problem is that the summoning stone is extremely high-level and requires a very large magic circle, which requires many rare materials. The materials I have on hand are not complete at all. , a big difference! And I heard that you kidnapped the Lich King’s space ring and took all the materials inside. Hey, can you help me get it together?”

How smart is Lao Xie? As soon as he heard it, he understood that the old mage was using Catherine's guise to come to fight against him. Otherwise, with his worth, how could he not be able to gather the materials for a magic circle? After all, he is also the chief mage of the Griffin Kingdom and controls a country's resources.

But even if Lao Xie knew this, there was nothing he could do. Who said that the advanced summoning circle could only be set up by the old mage himself? Lao Xie didn't even know what materials to use, let alone the formation diagram. Now it is obvious that others have the advantage, so naturally they can only be slaughtered honestly.

In desperation, he had no choice but to smile bitterly and said: "Okay, give me the list of materials and I'll see if I have any!"

"Hey!" The old mage said proudly: "Here, it has been prepared a long time ago!" After saying that, he handed Lao Xie an animal skin scroll.

Lao Xie took it over and took a look at it, then he shouted angrily: "You are robbing me!"
