"That's great. Master, how do you think we should rope him in?”
"Your Majesty, why don't you grant him a title and give him a fief so that he can have a family business?" Okra thought for a moment. If we tie him to the empire's interests, he won't refuse to help the empire. Moreover, with his relationship with the four generals and the loyalty of the generals to the empire, we will definitely be able to make him work for us.”
"En, Master is right. I will make him an Earl, but where should I give him the land?”
" Just give him the province of Derkasas. Although it's very large and occupies one-fifth of the Empire's territory, it's sandwiched between the Elf Forest and the Magical Beast Forest. You sent so many lords there, but they were all killed by the foreign races. Not only did you not collect taxes there, but you also had to throw money in. Although those foreign races can't kill him, they definitely won't be used by him based on the hatred between the foreign races and humans. There were also more than 5,000 humans. If they were not afraid that he would become powerful and rebel against the empire, why not throw that hot potato to him? At most, he won't have to pay taxes for ten years."
"En, we will do as you say. Three days later, invite him to the palace to see zhen.”said Emperor Ox.
Plans could never keep up with changes. If they knew that not only did Derkasas not bring any trouble to Long Ao, but it had also become the place where Long Ao had made his fortune, who knew what they would think.
On the afternoon of the third day, just as Long Ao, Anna, and Emily finished their " exercise," a eunuch from the palace invited Long Ao to the palace to meet the emperor.
Although he didn't know what was going on, he had no choice but to give them face in their territory. Therefore, Long Ao hurriedly changed his clothes and went into the palace.
They arrived at the emperor's royal study. There were only two people in the royal study. The one sitting in the middle was a middle-aged man in his fifties. He should be the emperor of the Soaring Dragon Empire. Beside him stood a beautiful girl in her sixteen-seventeen years old age. She looked a little like the emperor. Her small face and hot figure made Long Ao drool.
Long Ao said to King Ox,""I, Long Ao, pay my respects to Your Majesty." Fortunately, they did not kneel here. Otherwise, they would have suffered a huge loss.
"No need for formalities, Long Ao. Do you know why I summoned you today?" Ox said with a smile.”
Long Ao thought,'I'm not a roundworm, how would I know what you're thinking?' So he answered honestly,""I don't know."
Oaks nodded." I've already heard about your matter from the four generals. To have such cultivation at such a young age, you're not a pillar of the country."”
Long Ao thought gloomily," Those four old foxes are too fast. They sold me out as soon as they met me. I have to be careful in the future. Otherwise, I'll be finished if I'm still counting money for him. I wanted to live a carefree life first, but I didn't expect it to be ruined so quickly." "Thank you for your praise, Your Majesty."”
"Long Ao, accept the decree." Oaks straightened his face and said seriously.”Long Ao quickly knelt down on one knee and lowered his head.
"In view of Long Ao's cultivation at such a young age, he is indeed a role model for the younger generation.”After saying that, he took out a small noble medal and hung it on Long Ao's chest.
Long Ao was stunned. He didn't expect it to be so easy to become a noble. It seemed that he didn't have to go to the academy to study. It seemed that he could go anywhere if he had the ability. So he pretended to be grateful and said,"Thank you for your reward, Your Majesty."”
Ox was very satisfied with Long Ao's attitude."Then when can you take up your post in the fief?”
Long Ao thought for a moment." Your Majesty, I still have some matters to attend to in the capital. I'll leave in about three months."”
Oaks nodded and pulled the girl beside him."Long Ao, this is my daughter, Princess Kalina. When she heard about you, she insisted on coming to see you.”
Long Ao gave Caitlin a noble bow.""Hello, Princess Kalina. Nice to meet you.”
"Hello, Long Ao. You can call me Kalina from now on." Anna, Emily, and I are good friends. Two months ago, they were only at the Advanced level. I didn't expect them to be at the Expert Swordsman and Priest level now.”
