Chapter 436: Robbery

In fact, the emperor's order has already caused Catherine to suffer, because logically speaking, we should not start a new job, but should directly allocate the champion Knights led by Catherine to her.

But the Champion Knights is really important. It is the most elite unit in the Griffon Kingdom. It is not large in number and its combat power is extremely strong. It can be said that it is the sharp knife in the emperor's hand. If it is handed over to someone else, the emperor will not even sleep peacefully.

That's why he simply asked Catherine to form a self-organized army. Although it was a quota of 5,000 people, it was actually included in the guards given by the Holy See. In this way, he could only get some ordinary soldiers who could serve as a storefront. In this way, he could not only save himself but not create a threat to himself, which was a killing two birds with one stone.

There are also some rewards such as fiefs or items. Although there are a lot of them, they are not very amazing. At least in front of the monster Lao Xie, there is no at all attraction.

Next is Lao Xie’s reward. As the person who made the greatest contribution to killing the Lich King, his official reward was not bad, and he was just a duke. Although it was only a third-class and could not be hereditary, it was really commendable for a teenager to be able to obtain this title for his merits. In this way, the Stephen family also had three dukes, namely the Old Master, the Fatty and the Old Xie.

Although only one duke can be inherited from the descendants in the end, this story of the third duke can be passed down. Therefore, after seeing this, the old mage was extremely happy, so that his old face turned into a flower.

Next was a series of rewards, and the fallen blue general was naturally the top priority. Others, as long as they were champions and knights participating in the battle, were all named nobles, and those who were nobles themselves were directly promoted to level three. Of course, time was relatively tight today, and so many people's official promotion ceremony was obviously impossible to handle, so the promotion ceremony was held in the future, and today it was just announced.

In addition, there is a pension to the dead warriors. Although this time it was a big victory. At the beginning, it was a super defeat. The 200,000 regular griffon troops were killed by the Lich King's sorrow with a forbidden curse earthquake technique. Those who could run out were the masters of the holy realm, such as the Sword Saint of the Wind, the Old Mage, and several other major generals. The rest were almost completely finished.

So, when I think of the pensions for so many people and the need to invest a lot in training the new army, millions of gold coins were gone at once, and the emperor suddenly felt a pain again. But no matter how painful it was, he had to pay, otherwise, who would join the army in the future?

In short, today's ceremony was very enthusiastic and smooth. Both the emperor, nobles, and the military and civilians were quite satisfied. It was just a bit complicated. Anyway, after all the troubles, it was almost dark.

The emperor directly ordered a banquet. Today's banquet was undoubtedly a state banquet, and everyone who came could receive free food and drink. This could be regarded as a celebration.

As for those high-ranking nobles, they were even more particular. They held a grand bonfire party in the academy. The noise was not over until dawn.

Those drunk nobles were tilted around, and many people crawled on the grass and slept soundly. Lao Xie was a little tired. It’s not that he was really tired, but that he drank too much last night. There was no way. As a hero who killed the Lich King, of course everyone wanted to get to know each other and toast a glass of wine. It would be a shame to talk to others when they went back like this. The eldest princess Catherine had a noble status. She was also a princess. She didn’t have enough status and could disturb her, so she naturally had to come to find Lao Xie.

Although the Griffin Kingdom is big, the aristocratic circle is really small. Almost every nobleman can have some relationship with the Stephen family. Lao Xie naturally doesn't know, but the fat man and the old mage next to him understand, so every time a wave of people comes, Lao Xie has to drink one with others.

You know, there are tens of thousands of nobles attending this event? Even ten people toast a glass of wine. That is a few thousand cups. The cups at the banquet are quite small, and they can almost hold half a pound of wine. In short, Lao Xie was poured into a total of thousands of pounds of wine yesterday.

If he hadn't had his excellent mysterious skills and forced the wine out as he drank, he would have been forced to death. However, Lao Xie had gained something, because after drinking this wine yesterday, almost all the noble circles of the Griffon Kingdom had known each other, which was obviously very beneficial to his future development. Although Lao Xie did not care much about this kind of interpersonal relationship, it was also essential. Because he is still very weak now, sometimes he may have to use these people. Of course, if his strength returns to the peak state, he will naturally be qualified to ignore these guys, but unfortunately it is not possible now.

After finally finishing it, Lao Xie dragged his tired body back to the magic tower and fell asleep. He stood up in a daze until the night fell again. As soon as he walked out of the bedroom, he received a message from the old master, asking him to wake up and go to the hall on the third floor to meet.

Lao Xie had to give up his plan to eat for the time being and first arrived at the hall on the third floor. It turned out that not only the old wizard was there, but also Catherine was there. So he couldn't help but say strangely: "Are you waiting for me here?"

"Yes!" the old mage gave him a blank look and said, "You kid can really sleep!"

"You still have the face to say it!" Lao Xie said dissatisfiedly: "I was filled with several barrels of red wine in one breath. It would be great if I didn't last to death!" As he said that, he sat on the sofa angrily, and then instructed Lilith, "Give me some delicious food!"

"Yes, young master!" Lilith hurriedly agreed and turned around and went out.

"Haha!" the old master laughed and said, "This is all necessary social engagements, and I can't do anything about it. But then again, you are indeed extraordinary. I thought you were going to be poured down, but I didn't expect to get over it. Now, even if you don't have those achievements, just by drinking, you can be considered a celebrity in the aristocratic circle."

"What a bullshit celebrity to be able to drink?" Lao Xie curled his lips disdainfully, and then suddenly said, "By the way, you are looking for me, can you just do something to be able to drink?"

"Of course not!" The old mage suddenly said seriously: "We are looking for you to summon the stone land."

"Summoning Stone?" Lao Xie immediately said curiously: "What's wrong with this thing?"

"Oh, that's right!" The old mage said with a little dissatisfaction: "The emperor knew that you had the news of the Stone of Calling, so he wanted you to hand it over, and what to say, it will be collected by the country. Humph, to put it bluntly, aren't you going to give it to the third prince and the little princess Lan Snow?"

"Ha, he has a fever in his head, right?" Lao Xie immediately sneered: "How could I give it to him for my things?"

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

"I don't care who puts pressure on me, anyway, it's not possible!" Lao Xie said directly: "The same is true for the emperor! By the way, Catherine, you didn't give him your summoning stone, right?"

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

"No!" Catherine shook her head and said, "This is something given to us by the Dwarf King. If it is transferred like this, it would be a very rude behavior to him. So, I resisted the pressure from my father. But he had not given up yet, just asked me to think about it. He said that my strength is already very strong, and there is no need to waste such precious things. It is better to leave it to those in need. Although he did not say it clearly, the meaning was obviously to give it to the third brother."

"Haha, just don't give it to me, don't cheat that old guy!" Lao Xie said with a smile.

However, Catherine shook her head and said, "Although I didn't give it to you at that time, I'm a little shaken now. After all, my third brother's eyes were blinded by me, so it's not a bad idea to give him this as compensation. Anyway, I've always been alone, and it's the same if I don't have a pet."

"That won't work!" Lao Xie immediately objected: "The third prince was blinded by you because he was self-deserved. He deserved it and was 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 just think he is not!" Lao Xie said impatiently, "In short, this thing is given by the elders, and you cannot transfer it to others at will. Otherwise, it will be difficult to explain to the Dwarf Kingdom!"

After saying that, Lao Xie turned around and said to the old master: "Can you prepare the magic circle immediately and use the Summoning Stone? It seems that I don't care now, but Catherine may have many dreams at night!"

"I think so too!" The old mage then said, "But the problem is that the Summoning Stone is extremely advanced and the magic array required is also very small. It requires a lot of rare materials. The existing materials in my hand are not complete at all, and it is a lot worse! And I heard that you seized the Lich King's space ring, and you took all the materials inside. Hehe, would you please help me get it?"

How smart is Lao Xie? I understand as soon as I hear it. The old mage is coming to fight Qiufeng with Catherine. Otherwise, with his value, how could he not be able to get the materials for a magic array? After all, he is also the chief mage of the Griffin Kingdom, and he has the resources of a country.

However, even though Lao Xie knew this, there was no way. Who told me that the advanced summoning array could only be arranged by the old master himself? Lao Xie didn't even know what materials he used. Now that he obviously has the advantage, he naturally could only be slaughtered honestly.

In desperation, he had to smile bitterly and said, "Okay, give me the list of materials and I'll see if there is any!"

"Hehe!" the old master said proudly: "Give it, it's ready!" Then he handed Lao Xie a scroll of animal skins.
