Chapter 201 The Wrath of the Maelstrom(2/2)
"Sir, it's you." Lei Ting grinned, "The hat was so tight that he didn't recognize it for a moment."
"It's a little cold in winter." The general pulled the brim of his hat upwards, revealing a capable old face.
"Sir, you are..." Lei Ting frowned and pointed at the dozen soldiers behind him, "Did we need to cooperate with the last time?" Lei Ting was a little worried. If it really needed cooperation, there was no need to bring so many people over. What happened?
"No, no." The general waved his hand quickly. The compliment in his tone really made Thunder different, "There is something else to come this time."
"Come in and talk." The general's attitude made Lei Ting's worry slightly dissipated. He pondered for a while and reached out to him to signal.
"You stay outside." The general turned around and said to the soldiers behind him, then smiled and said to a man next to him: "Sir, please!"
"kindness."
Thunder Ting has only noticed that there is an official here who seems to be even greater than the general.
He pressed his hands on the girls who were about to follow in and asked them to stay outside. Thunder led the general and the man into the house.
The man looked arrogant, and except for looking at the thunder with his eyes, he turned his eyes on the girls.
After entering the house, the host and the host took a seat. Several maids sensibly brought a fruit plate and juice.
"Sir, I still don't know what to call him?" Lei Ting deliberately didn't look at the high official and just looked at the general with a smile.
"Just lord Quentin, just call me Quentin." The general of the moat replied with a smile.
"Is this?" Thunder Ting looked at the proud man and asked. "Earl Leander, the envoy of the Grand Duke." Quentin introduced respectfully.
Thunder was startled.
It’s not that the name of this count, Thunder killed an earl with slight help. But the identity of the Grand Duke’s special envoy made Thunder different.
There is no king in the Principal of Ceylon. Only the Grand Duke! You can imagine how noble the identity of the special envoy is here. It can be said that even if he is just an earl, coming to Faer City is like a Grand Duke in person.
But... what did the Grand Duke's special messenger come to his home to do?
"Baron Thunder." Liandell made his official voice and glanced at Thunder and said, "Are those girls in the yard... your maids?"
"No." Thunder shook his head and replied, "It's a member of my adventure group."
"So... they all look very beautiful."
Quentin shook Thunder fiercely at the side. Thunder naturally knew what he wanted to say, but when he twisted his head, he looked at Leander with a smile and said, "Sir Earl is absurd. Do you know what happened to the Count this time?"
Humph, it was not at all! The Earl snorted coldly, then picked up the juice and took a sip of it, and slowly said, "The Grand Duke already knows the last time you did local things in North City."
Alas! It's true!
From the beginning of knowing the identity of this person, Thunder Ting quickly thought about the reason why the Grand Duke's envoy could come here, probably only the only thing that happened in North City.
I had clearly told me not to report it at that time, but I probably couldn't hold it down.
However... the matter of killing the land of Count Ivan himself should not have been reported, right?
"You did a good job!" Earl Leander praised lightly, "After knowing that a team of adventurers captured Thomas of Momore alive, the Grand Duke was very happy. Although North has been captured now, the Grand Duke has not forgotten your contribution. Because of your efforts, North will be able to maintain North for more than a month, so that the Principality can have enough time to mobilize troops and suppress the force."
"As the Baron of Ceylon, this is what I should do." Thunder said shamelessly.
However, the Earl only talked about capturing Thomas alive, but did not talk about killing tens of thousands of enemies. It is estimated that there was no report there.
Think about it, it is really hard to convince people that an adventure group of ten people killed tens of thousands of enemies.
"Yeah." Leander nodded, "You should have received a greater reward for such a great contribution. However, North is gone, so you can't be too arrogant."
"I understand." Thunder's heart began to be beating.
Reward, I don’t know what I will reward? The great master will definitely not be too stingy when he takes action, right?
"Baron Thunder! In view of your outstanding performance in North City, the Grand Duke specially granted you the title of viscount and granted one thousand acres of territory. This is the letter of appointment signed by the Grand Duke!"
Leander said as he took out a piece of gilded tin foil from his arms and a medal symbolizing the title of Viscount.
"It's a pity that you are not a soldier, Lord Viscount, otherwise you will get a greater reward." Liandell looked at Thunder with a smile.
"Enough is enough." Lei Ting smiled so hard that his mouth could hardly close.
Although the title was only promoted to the first level, it was still a viscount.
"Sir, where is this thousand acres of territory?" Lei Ting turned his head and asked about the substantial benefits.
"Around your house." Quentin replied from the side.
It's cool! In the past, as a small baron, the territory was only about 200 acres, but now it's suddenly five times more! Although Thunder doesn't rely on this to make a living,... this is the same as beauties. Of course, the more there are, the better.
In fact, Thunder found that he was still a person who rejected ordinary people at heart.
Thunder was so happy that he could not close his mouth, and even looked at the arrogant Earl of Leander.
"Master Viscount, the higher the title, the greater the responsibility!" Leander said as if he was talking.
What does this mean? Lei Ting's heart suddenly broke out and wanted to ask, but he was too lazy to ask.
He politely exchanged greetings for a while, and kept Quentin and Earl Leander for lunch, and then he packed two big red envelopes to sweep them out.
Thunder was so good at doing things, and Leander naturally praised him with a smile.
