Roger found a room for Burenhill, and then transferred Rosey and the other five from the barracks.

This time, Roger spent about a thousand star coins. If he couldn't find anything to make money, he would have to spend money.

Roger was training in the military camp this day. Although he defeated Roy last time, Roger also discovered many weaknesses in his body and still had to further strengthen the training.

"Roger, there's something good!" Roger was training in the training room, and Li shouted far away with a loud voice.

Roger wiped the sweat from his forehead, left the machine, walked to Li and said, "What's the good thing? So happy?"

Li said excitedly, "It's not my good thing, it's your good thing! Someone has been sent from the palace just now. His Majesty the King wants to give you a title in person. I heard that there are many generous rewards!"

"Oh? Is this true?" Roger was also a little excited, "His Majesty the King wants you to arrive at the palace immediately and award the title immediately." Li said.

"Okay, I'll go right away." Roger washed up all morning, then put on a handsome military uniform, and looked a lot more energetic.

Roger found the palace attendant who was waiting at the gate of the military camp, got on the ground and drove towards the palace.

Roger and the others soon arrived at the palace. After showing their documents, two tall guards put them in.

Roger and his servant walked straight along the way and finally arrived at the hall of the palace.

Ferdinand, the king of the Appalachian kingdom, was waiting on the throne, and Goya, Tatia and a white old man stood quietly there.

"See Your Majesty the King!" Roger knelt down on one knee to Ferdinand, "Get up!" Ferdinand said.

Roger stood up and lowered his head respectfully.

Ferdinand said, "Roger, you made great contributions to the war in the Federation of Rezel this time and made outstanding contributions to the kingdom, especially killing the Federal Major General Ferner, causing the morale of the Federal Army to fall apart, and saving Princess Goya. It is really surprising. None of these contributions is small, but you have done them all. I admire you very much."

Roger said, "The success of the battle is not only the credit of me, Roger, but also the brothers who are fighting. Roger dares not be greedy for me alone."

When Ferdinand heard his humble words, he nodded with satisfaction and continued, "It is gratifying to you to have such a mind. I am happy for the kingdom. Next, I will award you the Golden Oak Leaf Order. I hope you can continue to work hard and contribute your strength to the king**."

After Ferdinand said that, he stood up and took a box with silver edges from the white old man.

At this time, the military music of the Appalachian Kingdom sounded at the right time, and a majestic musician Roger straightened his back again and stood there vigorously.

Ferdinand opened the box amid the sound of military music, and a cross-shaped medal lay quietly in the box. Ferdinand took out the medal, handed the box to the old man, and then put it on Roger's chest.

Ferdinand took two steps back and said, "The next step is to award rank. After our discussion, we decided to promote you to the rank of lieutenant." After that, he took a box from the old man again, and then tore off the sergeant's rank on Roger's shoulder and put on him a brand new lieutenant's rank.

Roger was a little excited and quickly saluted Ferdinand. Ferdinand patted him on the shoulder and said, "Congratulations on becoming the lieutenant of my kingdom."

Roger nodded heavily, and Ferdinand waved his hand to signal the guards to retreat, leaving only the old man, Tatia and Goya.

"Roger, I know from Goya that you have adopted four children, and I also know that it is difficult to support five children based on your current financial ability. Here are 200,000 star coins, so you can accept them. As the kingdom government did not have a compensation for those children before! The card is an Interstellar Bank card, and it does not have a password, and you can withdraw it with you." Ferdinand took out a card and handed it to Roger and said.

"Twenty-hundred thousand?" Roger suddenly felt that he was stunned by happiness. He was worried about money before, but he didn't expect that such a large sum of money would come now. It's really a bit unbelievable!

Roger took the card with trembling hands, and then quickly put it into his pocket, fearing that someone else would take it away.

Everyone couldn't help but smile when they saw it.

"Don't worry, there's something for you!" Ferdinand said to Roger with a smile when he saw that Roger wanted to leave after taking the money.

"There is something?" Roger swallowed, how come one by one surprise!

Ferdinand took a rectangular box from the old man, about one meter three and four.

Ferdinand opened the box and lay quietly in the box with a quaint long knife. The handle of the knife was black and emitted a charming luster.

"Is this?" Roger looked at Ferdinand, who said, "This is the heirloom of our Siegfried family, the famous sword Zolferca. The ancestors used it to quell the rebellion and eliminate the heroes."

Roger's body was shocked and looked at Ferdinand in disbelief. Ferdinand looked serious and said, "There is something else." After that, he took a small box and opened it. The box contained a... fruit!

The fruit is in the shape of an apple with a slight spiral pattern on it. After seeing it, Roger suddenly felt very familiar.

"Is this?" Roger asked.

"This is a demon fruit. We don't know the specific abilities. The demon fruit can give people the power of demons, but the abilities cannot swim, and the ability will be suppressed by the Star Moon Stone." Ferdinand explained.

Roger nodded. It was indeed a devil fruit in One Piece world. I didn’t expect that there was a devil fruit in this world. It was really surprising.

Ferdinand then said, "Now I want you to make a choice, choose between Zolferka and this devil fruit, and you can take one of them away." Ferdinand said and stared at Roger.

Roger was also in a tangle. Zolferka was obviously a powerful sword, but the ability of the devil fruit was well known, which made it difficult to make a choice!

However, Roger thought again and thought that he didn't know what the ability of this devil fruit was, and the devil fruit did not necessarily mean strength. What if it was a useless ability?

Roger thinks it is better to choose Zolferca.

He then said, "Your Majesty, I have decided, I choose Zolferca."

Hearing Roger's choice, Ferdinand was stunned for a moment, then reacted and said, "Since this is your choice, of course I respect it." After that, he handed Zolferca to Roger.

Roger held Zolferca and couldn't put it down. The more he looked at it, the more he liked it. Roger said again, "His Majesty the King, I have a small request. Can you agree to me?"

"Oh, what else do you need? Let's hear it!" Ferdinand said.

"Although I already have Zolferka, I don't know swordsmanship! So, can you find me a swordsmanship master?" Roger said with a shy face.

"Master of Jiandao?" Ferdinand looked at the old man, and the old man nodded slightly to him. Ferdinand then said, "Since that's the case, you should take Housekeeper Hezhe as your teacher!"

"Butler Hezhe?"

Ferdinand introduced him to the old man beside him.

Roger hurriedly said, "Disciple, pay homage to the master."

The old man smiled slightly, and Ferdinand said, "Let's go to the back to perform the apprenticeship ceremony! Tomorrow you come to find Butler Hezhe, you can retreat first!"

"Yes." Roger then left.
