Cthulhu descends

Why did Li Xie suddenly become Grand Duke?

Of course, this is the meaning of Mercedes VII again, but this time he is not going his own way like the last time he promoted the Duke of Rhine, and he didn't let anyone know the reason!

This time, he invited several people in power in the court and a group of nobles who may not have high titles but have a long family history to discuss together.

And no one objected to promoting Li Xie to Duke!

The reason is that Li Xie's contribution this time is really greater than the sky!

Duke Avril's becoming a holy priest is an earth-shattering event for the Tudor Dynasty and even the Continent of the Gods!Because there are currently only seven holy priests in the Continent of the Gods!In the history of the Tudor dynasty, there was not a single holy priest!Having a holy priest is equivalent to having the hope of the rise of the dynasty!

Since Duke Avril was in seclusion, and the holy priests no longer needed the rewards of these dynasties, Mercedes VII gave all the credit to Li Xie!

And Li Xie can justifiably accept it!

Why?

He is the host of the promotion ceremony of Duke Avril Lavigne!Although those who have checked Li Xie's background know that this "countryman" who "has no magic and fighting spirit fluctuations" in their eyes is not even a "priest"!Duke Avril's promotion was entirely due to Duke Avril's own piety, and had no real relationship with Earl Xie, but who called Li Xie the host of the promotion ceremony?In name, he was the only one who helped Duke Avril advance to the next level!

In name, he helped to create the first Tudor dynasty and the eighth holy priest in the Continent of the Gods!

Although everyone knew that Li Xie "didn't help", but when Mercedes VII mentioned the nominal credit, no one could refute it!

Therefore, this day's great credit fell on Li Xie's head like a pie in the sky, and according to the size of the credit and Li Xie's status as the heir of the Lamborghini family, our Earl Xie was appointed as the capital by default from a small earl. Grand Duke of the Tudor Dynasty, the third Grand Duke!

Master Mian said: Happiness always brings good luck!

In this regard, Li Xie just smiled and tilted his mouth, sighing how cute Mercedes VII is.

Tudor Palace, Bolance Side Hall.

This is a place dedicated to entertaining royal guests and holding important banquets.

Inside is a spacious lobby that can accommodate 3000 people.In the innermost part of the lobby is His Majesty's golden chair, and on both sides are long tables for food and drink.There are seats outside the long table.A large space in the middle was covered with a red carpet.You can dance on it, or invite a performance troupe to perform.The lobby has three floors, and the upper two floors also provide more or less seats for nobles to enjoy the performances below.

At this moment, in the side hall of Bo Lansi, most of the nobles with some status in the imperial capital gathered. They all brought their family members, drinking, eating and chatting. The banquet has not yet started. For these nobles, the communication at this moment is very important. A business can be negotiated, or a marriage can be arranged!

"Your Majesty is here!" the internal affairs officer Al shouted, and Mercedes VII strode out from a door inside.

"Greetings, Your Majesty, long live your Majesty." Now this etiquette has become a regular etiquette for the Tudor Dynasty and even the mainland of the gods to meet the monarch.

"Get up, where is the evil earl?"

El leaned over and said, "Your Majesty, Earl Evil will be here soon."

Mercedes VII nodded: "So, just wait for our evil earl, you can do whatever you want."

Outside the palace, a carriage whizzed by, the driver was Kano, and inside the carriage were Li Xie and the sleeping kitten Miao Miao curled up in a circle above Li Xie's head.

"Damn it, Kano, hurry up!" Li Xie was very depressed now!

The time El explained was eight o'clock in the evening, and Li Xie went out an hour earlier, and then he discovered the problem, it took one and a half hours to get from Earl Xie's manor to the palace!

He even ignored the time of the journey!

"My lord, these ordinary horses can't go any faster. If your lord is in a hurry, it's better to let Kano carry you."

"Forget it, anyway, the big shots are the last to appear on the stage. I'm afraid that it will steal His Majesty's limelight and make him unhappy. After all, our Majesty still takes good care of us. By the way, I will give it to you." Do you have a space ring?"

"My lord, take it with you!" Kano glanced at the platinum ring with gemstones on his little finger, feeling a little excited.He has only been with Earl Xie for more than two months, and his net worth is already [-] gold coins. What's more, Earl Xie gave him a space ring, which is a symbol of dignity, not ordinary people can have space rings!

"Well, I'll pack some more fine wine later!" Li Xie is trying so hard for fine wine now!Who told him to raise a kitten that was spoiled by him?

He refused to drink ordinary wine, so he scratched Li Xie when he was hungry, forcing Li Xie to give him good wine!

"My lord, Kano can't attend the banquet, he wants a title above earl."

"I said you can do it, you can do it! When I officially become the Grand Duke, I will give you a title and surname later, and let you be promoted to Earl!"

"My lord!" Kano was so excited that he didn't know what to say!

According to the rules of the Tudor dynasty, nobles can give slaves surnames or give non-slave followers the title surnames. Giving slaves can make slaves directly get rid of slave status, and even have the opportunity to become nobles.Giving titles and surnames can allow followers to be promoted to nobles. Generally, they can only be promoted to viscounts, but the grand duke of the dynasty can bestow two earls.

When Li Xie said this, he was going to give Kano one of the counts!

Suddenly he can become an earl, and his status has been raised again. No wonder Kano is so excited, but for Li Xie, he just said it casually and gave it away casually. He is actually quite distressed now, and sighed: "Hey , Miaomiao tastes so good, a bottle of good wine costs at least a hundred gold coins, but Miaomiao can’t pour a thousand cups! My savings, no, I have to find a way to collect some more money, anyway, I can’t starve pets.”

The little cat on Li Xie's head raised its head and was about to express its dissatisfaction with Li Xie's whining, but after hearing this, the little cat squinted its eyes and fell asleep again. It was lucky to have a good master.

Finally arrived at Bo Lansi's side hall, Li Xie and Kano hurried into the hall.

Li Xie was anxious because he was afraid that making Mercedes VII wait would make him unhappy. After all, Mercedes VII was kind to Li Xie, and Li Xie also began to take into account his Majesty's feelings.

However, it is clear that Li Xie's worries are unnecessary.The nobles of the imperial capital often held banquets, and their leisurely life made them used to this kind of waiting. Mercedes VII didn't care, drinking wine and chatting with his friends.

There were guards and servants waiting outside the lobby, and when they saw Li Xie coming, they yelled loudly.

The nobles in the palace stopped what they were doing and looked at the door. Li Xie stepped into the lobby, and the Minister of Warcraft, Scamud Osley, who was closest to the door, greeted him. When they met, they just bowed: "Congratulations!" Earl Evil, I will change my name to Duke Evil in a while!"

After finishing speaking, Scamode looked at the top of Li Xie's head, and smiled again: "Earl Xie has good taste! This fur hat should be the fur of the third-level Warcraft Blu-ray Mouse unique to the Western "Destin Dynasty". It is soft, shiny, and tactile. ..."

Before Scamode finished speaking, Meow on Li Xie's head had already raised his head, and his blue eyes were full of dissatisfaction: How dare you call this cat a mouse!

"Oh... the god of the earth! The beast of doom!" The smile on Scamander's face froze, and he immediately changed into a ghostly look, pointing his hand straight at the top of Li Xie's head, rolling his eyes, It fell straight!

Beast of Doom!

Scammode's voice raised several pitches due to fright, and it spread throughout the entire hall, from His Majesty's nobles to his family servants, all of them cast their eyes on Li Xie's head!

The lobby, which was originally filled with music and conversations, suddenly fell silent.

The corner of Li Xie's mouth twitched, he forgot that the cat on his head was still a beast of doom in the eyes of others!Thinking of the chaos that may arise next, this guy's mouth is full of power.

Perhaps feeling the gazes of everyone, the little cat raised its head, looked around with its blue eyes, and opened its mouth: "Meow..."

"Ah! Beast of Doom!"

"God of the earth! What a beast of doom!"

"Oh my god! I'm going to be unlucky!"

"Retreat, Your Majesty! Escort! Escort!"

"The Beast of Misfortune is a ninth-level monster! Be careful everyone! Get behind me!"

A big man in a brocade robe roared and jumped in front of the crowd, while all the nobles had shrunk into the hall, trembling each and every one of them, it was like a ghost!

The big man shouted loudly, golden light lingered all over his body, his aura rose outside his body, and a strong wind blew one meter away from him!

Let your grudges out!

This big man is a tenth-rank sword master!

"Don't be afraid, Earl Evil! Kill the beast of misfortune, and the misfortune will be eliminated!" The big man said to Li Xie.

Li Xie's forehead was already dripping with cold sweat. The aura of the tenth-rank sword master was as sharp as a sharp blade, which made Li Xie uncomfortable all over, and he was afraid that the tenth-rank sword master would make a move. It's just that in childhood, the tenth-rank sword master can still survive?

Li Xie remembered that there was no tenth-rank sword master in the Tudor dynasty. At least, no tenth-rank sword master had ever visited him at Earl Xie's mansion!Where did this guy come from?

Mercedes VII over there also looked anxious, shouting: "Fan Di, be careful not to hurt the evil earl! Also, be sure to kill the beast of doom, and help the evil earl relieve his bad luck!"

Hey!

Seventh, you are also afraid!

Li Xie was helpless now, and quickly said: "Don't be afraid, it is not a beast of misfortune!"

Li Xie can understand the reaction of this group of people, and has already anticipated the reaction of this group of people. After all, cats are like ghosts on earth in the eyes of outsiders. For example, when you talk to a person, there is a ghost standing next to that person. Can I scare you half to death?

However, Li Xie didn't know that killing the beast of misfortune could eliminate bad luck!Maybe it's because Kano is not strong enough, so he didn't say this, but now the tenth-rank sword master is present, if one is not good, Meow Meow will have to hang up!

Kano, who was behind Li Xie, also hurriedly chimed in: "Don't be afraid, everyone, this is our earl's pet, not the beast of misfortune! The beast of misfortune has golden horns on its head, but this one doesn't. It's a lucky beast!"

The Minister of Warcraft, Scamode, who was fainting on the ground, suddenly got up, rubbed his buttocks and shrank into the lobby, then retreated and shouted: "What lucky beast! It is the beast of doom! I can't read it wrong! The ninth-level warcraft of doom! Beast, it will be unlucky for three years if you get close to it, ten years if you are stared at by it, if you touch it, you will have bad luck and die again and again! Earl Evil, you must kill the beast of bad luck to lift the curse of touching it!"

Looking at the terrified crowd, Li Xie deeply lamented the power of the older generation telling ghost stories to scare children!Let's see that their fear has been deeply rooted, and with the testimony of the Minister of Warcraft, who is engaged in Warcraft, Li Xie can't use some details to blur the appearance of the beast of doom. Now, what should we do?

Kano was afraid that Li Xie would be hurt by the tenth-level sword master, so he had already protected Li Xie, and said anxiously: "What are you afraid of! It's really not a beast of bad luck, otherwise, my lord would have had bad luck a long time ago, and he can still be like this today Make it easy!"

Kano's words sparked a flash of inspiration in Li Xie's mind, and he suddenly burst out laughing, shouting, "That's right! The cat on my head is indeed the beast of doom!"

Ho!

These words startled Kano!
