In the tavern, people were discussing the topic of "a new batch of ranks is about to be sold".

Basically, no one is surprised that the title can be bought with gold coins, after all, this kind of thing is not once or twice.

Basically, every second month of spring, His Majesty the King will take out some of the titles for sale.

Those rich but without titles, merchants or former nobles will come to the capital during this time to participate in the purchase.

"If I have enough gold coins, I will buy a title to play with it!"

Some people spoke enviously that a baron would have to be at least hundreds of gold coins, but his family still couldn't afford it.

"Hey! I heard that the nobles outside are not as good as the civilians in our Buck City!"

"How is that possible? That's the noble master!"

"Don't believe it. I knew a noble before. He told me personally that his fiefdom was particularly remote and he had to worry about the survival of the people in the territory every day. He was originally a small businessman, but after buying a noble with a fief, he spent all the gold coins in his hand in less than a year! He had no money to pay taxes to the king, and finally he had no choice but to sell his title and start his old business again."

"This... is so terrible!"

This is the first time that everyone has heard this kind of news and is a little disbelief.

"Of course, I don't need to lie to you, but there is a reason for this, because he gave the people in the territory a lot of tax reduction and exemption policies, and as a result, he could not collect taxes and had to pay for it himself..."

“…”

Everyone was silent for a moment. They didn't know what to say. After all, they were ordinary people. Of course, they hoped that the lord would be kinder. However, if they could not continue to do it because of the lord's kindness, it was not what they wanted to see. After all, no one knew what the next lord would be like, and it was a question whether they could even wait for the next lord.

"So, it's better for our Buck King City!"

"That's right, that's right!"

"Yes! What a bullshit nobleman, I don't envy him at all!"

"Shh! You speak softly, a few nobles have just come in..."

"Ah? Cough, where did we just talk about it? Unfortunately, I don't have gold coins, otherwise I would definitely buy a title and become a noble nobleman!"

...

When Zhang Feng led the beast-eared lady in, he attracted some people's attention. Seeing Zhang Feng's people dressed in gorgeous clothes and noble temperament, the voices of everyone's speech unconsciously lowered three points. From time to time, people secretly glanced over. It was really that those beast-eared lady were so beautiful!

Facing the faint gazes of the civilians around him, Zhang Feng didn't care. Except for the cat-eared girl, it didn't matter to everyone else.

This tavern is cleaner than Zhang Feng thought, and Zhang seemed to have not seen any other nobles except for himself.

If Zhang Feng was a local, he would know that because there were many people in Buck City, there were naturally many taverns, and the nobles disdained to drink with the civilians, so the taverns that specialize in serving the nobles appeared.

And the one Zhang Feng came to was naturally a civilian tavern.

But even though he knew this, Zhang Feng didn't care. What he cared about was what the person next to him just said.

"Hello."

Zhang Feng smiled and greeted a young man next to him wearing a thick cotton coat with freckles on his face.

"You...hello!"

The freckled man was a little nervous.

He didn't expect that this tavern was always a place where nobles disdained to come. Why did an aristocrat come today?

Although Zhang Feng did not wear his Marquis and noble medal, and was not a noble who was familiar to them, whether it was dressing or appearance, this was consistent with the nobles they had seen. No, it should be better!

"I'm interested in selling a 'big lord' this time. Can you tell me? I'll invite you to drink."

Zhang Feng spoke very approachable.

When the freckled man heard Zhang Feng's words, he instantly knew that Zhang Feng was an alien nobleman, because this incident had spread in the noble circle of the royal capital. It was also by chance that he heard a marquis say it.

However, no matter whether Zhang Feng was an alien noble or not, his outfit and temperament were at least possessed by a great nobleman. The freckled man dared not hide it, so he quickly told everything he knew.

"I also heard from others that the King was about to sell a large area of ​​fiefdom, but many people didn't know what it was, but many people were already preparing gold coins..."

After hearing the freckled man's words, Zhang Feng fell into deep thought. He felt that this large fiefdom was very likely to be the extreme north. Could it be that the king was preparing to get an auction and then buy it himself?

etc?

Buy it?

The king shouldn't let himself pay, right? After all, this is the fiefdom he wants!

Zhang Feng was a little confused about the king's intention, but no matter what, he must have a look.

"Do you know when this title transaction will start?"

Zhang Feng asked again.

"tomorrow!"

The other party immediately spoke, he happened to know this question.

"Thank you."

"I dare not, I dare not..."

Hearing Zhang Feng thanked him, the freckled man seemed a little flattered.

Although they often say that some places are not even comparable to the civilians of the royal capital, this is just a saying. If they are given a title for free, they may run faster than anyone else!

Nobles are born with civilians and are not of the same class.

This was the first time he had received thanks from the nobles, and his face was a little rosy for a moment.

Zhang Feng got the news he wanted, but did not break his promise. He invited him a glass of the most expensive wine here - a dark beer worth a silver coin!

This made the freckled man even more excited. He could actually get a glass of wine invited by a great noble master in his lifetime. Please note that this is a invitation, not a reward!

This is enough for him to brag for a year!

Didn't you see everyone around you showing envy!

Zhang Feng also ordered a glass for himself. The price of a silver coin was actually not expensive in Zhang Feng's opinion, but this wine was a bit unworthy. Zhang Feng could only say that it was enough to drink.

He tasted it briefly and handed it to the fox-Earing Girl.

The fox-Earing Girl didn't dislike it. She picked up the cup that Zhang Feng had just used and drank it in one sip.

“Good!”

The food came up soon. Compared to the wine in this tavern, Zhang Feng thought the food was more delicious.

Because they are relatively vegetarian, there are no strange-shaped meat foods that Zhang Feng doesn't recognize.

Zhang Feng's arrival at the tavern was just a small episode. When Zhang Feng deliberately kept a low profile, everyone quickly forgot about the number one person he had and started talking loudly. After all, the gossip in Buck City is still very interesting.

Especially this year, the king sold his title in advance, which made people feel that something big might happen this year, and all kinds of speculations emerged for a while.

After hearing these words, Zhang Feng suddenly thought that the king had told him that the lord of the Southern Cast Iron City Duke Aolanda had the intention to subvert the regime. So are these two things related?

Zhang Feng originally thought that this was arranged by the king specifically for him, but now he felt that he should have been thinking too much and he didn't have that much face. The king is obviously preparing to gather funds!

However, it can be seen from this that the matter in the south is really serious. Although the king did not explain it to Zhang Feng in detail, he could make the king prepare for war, which shows that the matter is far more serious than what he said!

I had a lot of time for a meal, and the main time was Zhang Feng listening to these gossips.

When he got home, Zhang Feng unexpectedly saw the Abe Knight.

"Does His Majesty the King have any instructions? Or does His Highness have something to do?"

If you don’t go to the Three Treasures Hall without any trouble, Zhang Feng knew that the other party must have something to do.

Abei did not answer positively, but looked at Zhang Feng with a strange look. Just when Zhang Feng thought there was something dirty on his face, Abei spoke.

"Did you say something to His Majesty the King?"

"Hmm? What does it mean?"

Zhang Feng didn't understand Abei's meaning for a moment.

"His Majesty the King said that my service period has come, and I can apply to stay in the palace and become a royal knight, or leave freely."

"Well? Isn't this a good thing!"

Although I don’t understand the rules of the Royal Knights, Abbe obviously wants to be “free”, and freedom is generally a good thing.

"But His Majesty the King recommended you to me and said that if I plan to change the environment, I can come to your place to see..."

Abbe's tone was very plain and he couldn't hear any emotional fluctuations.

"Oh? Then how did you choose?"

Zhang Feng was a little surprised. He didn't expect that the king would really agree to Abe coming to his place. Although it was not an order, but a man who asked Abe to choose by himself, this still surprised Zhang Feng.

After all, Abe is a very strong and young knight with unlimited potential!

"I signed a contract to withdraw from the Royal Knights, and I will officially leave the Royal Knights in ten days..."

Hearing this, Zhang Feng was instantly excited, but he didn't expect that Abei would choose him!

But soon, Zhang Feng knew that he was thinking too much.

"...Princess Anne is still young, so I'm going to continue to stay by Princess Anne to protect her."

"Okay, I thought you chose to come to me, which made me happy!"

Zhang Feng shrugged, the disappointment on his face did not seem to be a fake.

Abei's eyes were a little complicated, but she didn't plan to say much about this matter.

"His Majesty the King asked me to inform you that from noon tomorrow, some of the titles and fiefs will be sold publicly. You should be interested, and the location is at the gate of the palace."

"Okay, it's on time tomorrow."

Zhang Feng nodded, and the king had indeed sent someone to notify him.

After Abei left, Zhang Feng prepared some gold coins. Regardless of whether they will be used tomorrow, the gold coins must be prepared.

As for what will happen tomorrow, we will only know until tomorrow.

...

...

the next day.

Zhang Feng sat in the little steamer car, with the cat earmist accompanying her.

The cab was a soldier and driver brought by Zhang Feng, and now he can be regarded as an old driver, and the co-pilot is a royal knight who is facing a face-to-face.

This is the news that Zhang Feng asked Abe to bring to the king yesterday after he asked him to go back, saying that he needed someone trusted by His Majesty the King to teach him how to drive.

Abbe didn't know what it meant, but the king must have known it. Sure enough, early in the morning, there was a serious royal knight in casual clothes waiting outside the door.

Zhang Feng politely invited the person in and asked Zhang Feng's driver to teach him how to operate a steamed car.

This car has no functions and is very easy to operate. In addition, the knight is not stupid, so he learned it quickly. He personally asked him to drive the car and ran outside the door at the slowest speed for two laps, Zhang Feng felt that he was qualified.

However, on the way to the palace, Zhang Feng still asked his driver to drive the car. It was not that he did not trust it, but that the car had been with the driver for many days and was about to say goodbye to his beloved car. How could it be possible if he didn't send it to him in person?

Along the way, the Royal Knight in the co-pilot had a little red face, which was exciting.

After all, driving is at least completely different from him. This novel taste is the same as the first time she learned how to ride a horse when she was a child!

And when you really drive, it's much more windy than riding a horse. After all, so many attention gifts along the way are not fake.

When the small steamer came to the gate of the palace, it was already dark and crowded.

Because people are relatively large, it is impossible to let these people enter the palace, so they trade titles at the entrance of the palace. This is also a feature of Buck City. Selling titles is like selling vegetables.

The arrival of the steam car instantly became the only focus, and the noisy crowd also quieted down, leaving only the sound of the steam engine operating.

When everyone standing outside in the cold wind showed envious eyes when they saw Zhang Feng get out of the car, and some people had unconcealed liking in their eyes.

They knew they couldn't buy the big steamer outside, but this small one might have a chance!

If it weren't for the main task today to buy a title, these rich people would have found Zhang Feng to have a good conversation.

Because today not only sells titles, but also sells fiefs, all the nobles are here, and Zhang Feng, the marquis here is not abrupt--he put the noble medal symbolizing the marquis on his chest today.

Although Zhang Feng thought the badge was ugly, let alone, after wearing it, it felt a little different.

The gate of the palace opened quickly without waiting for a long time.

Some soldiers and knights came out guarding the king and many ministers.

Everyone was a little surprised. The king would not have appeared in this past. I didn’t expect that the king would come today, and it was still in such a cold situation.

As soon as the king went out, he saw the steamed car that stood out from the crowd, and his eyes suddenly shone.

Seeing this, Zhang Feng quickly winked at the soldiers and said:

"His Majesty, I have heating here, you can come here!"

The soldier immediately turned on the switch, and a telescopic transparent shed was immediately placed on the side of the steamer, which blocked the cold wind. The door opened and the heating in the car blew out. The people nearby were shocked.

"It's so warm!"

The king was not polite and came over with many ministers.

"Huh~ so warm!"

"This... is so amazing!"

"Okay, let's start now!"
Chapter completed!
