Chapter 1542 The Duke
"Duke Martin!"
"Your Majesty the Duke!"
"See your lord the Duke!"
"Your Excellency, I wonder if you are free tonight? I would like to invite you to my house for a drink."
"Your Majesty the Duke..."
The king issued an official document, officially appointing "Martin Payton" as the Duke of Duolunbu Kingdom, and entrusting the 500 kilometers of wasteland around the Titan Labyrinth. And he fulfilled his promise and gave 24 million gold coins and three magic props of his choice.
When Jia Zhengjin changed into a luxurious ducal suit, he still put on a hood to hide his appearance.
Although this appearance may make people feel weird, it is normal for a hidden master to have some quirks, not to mention that he is a super mercenary who solved the Titan Maze problem?
After the meeting ended, all the civil and military officials gathered around him to fawn over him, and the crowd was packed around him. Even Aipal and Olivia could only stand at a distance and helplessly watch him being overwhelmed by the crowd.
After all, the Duke has the highest title among all, and his status in the country is also extremely noble, almost one person below ten thousand people. In some countries, the duke even controls the king and controls the government of the entire country.
In addition to his status as a duke, this status may be that of "Martin Payton, the ninth-level hidden powerhouse", which is also the focus of everyone's fawning.
But as a result, Jia Zhengjin became depressed.
He didn't like this situation, but he couldn't use space magic to escape, as that would reveal his identity.
Fortunately, his eyes fell on Bourbon, and he waved to him: "General Bourbon, I have something to ask you. Wouldn't it be convenient for us to go to your house together?"
"Of course!" Bourbon looked happy, naturally he had to seize such a good opportunity. Thanks to the king's previous arrangements for him to lead the way, it seems that he has left a place in this strong man's heart.
In order to seize the opportunity to build a good relationship with the strong man, and especially with the Duke, he immediately sent people to evacuate the civil and military officials: "Didn't you hear that? The Duke has important matters to discuss with me in detail. Please don't harass the Duke. , If you have anything in the future, you can discuss it with me first and let me tell you!"
Many civil and military officials were unconvinced, and many were unhappy that Bourbon had taken away the opportunity to establish relations with the Duke. But after all, the Duke had spoken, so he could only stay there and watch reluctantly as Bourbon took him away.
After finally coming out of the palace, Jia Zhengjin breathed a sigh of relief. He didn't like to deal with that kind of situation, and he would try to avoid it when he was in Holy Dragon City. This time, thanks to Bourbon, he managed to escape smoothly.
"My lord Duke, what orders do you have from me?" After coming out, Bourbon asked excitedly on the road, "My carriage is right in front, why not..."
"No need to bother!" Jia Zhengjin interrupted immediately, "I just thought it was troublesome, so I asked you to take me out. In fact, there is nothing wrong."
"Huh?" Bourbon was obviously a little disappointed when he heard this.
"However, what you just said was very good." Jia Zhengjin said to him, "In the future, if others come to me for anything, you will have to take care of it! I don't like to have contact with too many people. Of course, when you come to Duolunbu Country It won’t take too long, probably only once a month, and I’m afraid I’ll need your help during that time.”
"It's an honor!!" Bourbon immediately replied excitedly, "I'm willing to serve you!"
"Well! I'll trouble you from now on. If I come to Duolunbu country, I will inform you first. Now you can go and do whatever you have to do. We are going to find our teammates. We will have a night's rest today and we will go tomorrow. Going out to perform other tasks.”
"My lord Duke, in fact, with your current status, you don't have to worry so much." Bourbon said softly, "You can stay with your friends and enjoy the life of a duke..."
"If I want to enjoy myself, do I need to be a Duke in this small country?" Jia Zhengjin said calmly, "Besides, I have my own things to do."
"Yes! I am too talkative." Bourbon nodded hurriedly, "With your strength, you can indeed enjoy it wherever you go. Even the four empires are probably willing to give you a city."
"It's good to know! I am a mercenary to enjoy the process, not to enjoy the happiness." Jia Zhengjin said calmly,
"You should step back first!"
"Yes! If the Duke has any instructions, you can call me at any time." Bourbon smiled respectfully, "By the way! It is said that several of your companions are still near the market."
"Still in the market? You knew I was back, but you didn't come back right away?" Jia Zhengjin was speechless.
"You can't blame them," Bourbon said immediately. "According to the soldier's report, they are at the auction. They can't leave until the meeting is over, and it's probably almost time."
"Okay, I get it!" Jia Zhengjin turned to look at Aipal and Olivia, "Then let's go to the auction?"
"Yeah!" They both nodded at the same time.
"My Lord Duke, I will prepare a carriage for you!" Bourbon said immediately.
"Then please!"
"my pleasure!"
I arrived at the auction in a carriage, and sure enough, there was an auction going on inside, and no one was allowed to come in or out at will.
Jia Zhengjin went over and asked how long it would take to end.
The staff told them that it would take another half an hour and refused to allow them to enter midway.
Originally, Jia Zhengjin was prepared to wait for a while, but half an hour was quick anyway. However, a nobleman passed by, who happened to be a member of the civil and military officials in the palace at that time. When he saw this situation, he immediately came over to curry favor and seized the opportunity to establish a good relationship with "Duke Martin".
This nobleman was obviously a familiar figure at the auction, and the other party was very respectful to him. When the nobleman explained Jia Zhengjin's identity and told him that this was the newly appointed Duke of the King, the auction staff was shocked. Even the boss came out in person, apologized, and promised that if the Duke came, he could enter and exit the venue at any time.
It seems that this identity is still quite useful. Jia Zhengjin thanked the nobleman and asked him to leave his name. Then, under the personal leadership of the auction boss, he entered the venue smoothly with Apal and Olivia.
There were quite a lot of people in the venue. A high-level magic prop was being auctioned on the stage. Everyone's eyes were on the auctioneer, and they didn't notice the few people coming in behind.
"Over there." Olivia was sharp-eyed and saw Tina, Perrin, Christina and Amy in the VIP seats at the front. They were also holding signs and shouting prices seriously. There were a lot of props that had been successfully auctioned around them, and they were having a lot of fun.
As Jia Zhengjin's wife, she didn't lack gold coins at all, so she bought whatever she wanted. Obviously, they were also very interested in the magic props at hand.
"My Lord, do you want to temporarily stop the auction?" The auctioneer asked respectfully.
Seeing that several wives were happy to raise their placards, Jia Zhengjin didn't want to disturb them: "It's okay! I'll find a seat in the back row and wait for them to finish."
"You're welcome, my Lord. You only need to say one word and the auction will stop immediately."
"It's okay!" Jia Zhengjin smiled, "By the way, what other items are there next?"
"Are you interested?"
"Well~ Let's see if there are any good things."
"Because it's almost the end, there is only the finale left." The auctioneer looked flattering, "The item is dinner with the famous Miss Perrigi."
"What the hell? Can a meal be auctioned? Forget it, I'll just wait like this!" Jia Zhengjin shook his head in disappointment. He thought there would be some good things on display.
