It was too outrageous. Xu Kuang could confirm that if the king wanted to deal with him, there would be absolutely no way he could escape from the king's hands.
The king was a little impatient and asked again.
Only then did Xu Kuang come to his senses and said to the king:
"Look, here is the switch, and then you can press these keys to start...".
Before Xu Kuang finished speaking, he heard the captain of the guard yelling angrily:
"Bold, speak to the king without honorific, damn it!".
Xu Kuang frowned. He found out that the captain of the guard was also a legendary 10-star, and he immediately became concerned.
The king waved his hand and said to the chief guard:
"It's okay. Please tell me how to use this thing first."
Xu Kuang immediately said:
"In this way... in this way... this line will be eliminated. You see, one hundred points will be added."
The king chuckled, he was very satisfied with this thing.
he asked:
“What’s the highest score this thing can get?”.
Xu Kuang smiled and said:
"There is no highest score, only first place. There is a ranking list. You can try to break your own record.".
When the king heard this, he laughed and asked:
"May I have your name?".
"Xu Kuang."
"Xu Kuang, okay, I remember, you can leave. I am very satisfied with your gift, you can leave."
Xu Kuang saluted, then turned and left.
…
The next day, the enthronement ceremony officially began. Xu Kuang wore the most formal clothes and accepted the king's canonization.
The king personally read out the reasons for each viscount's accession to the throne, as well as the rewards given to them.
However, the king seemed to have done this intentionally, skipping Xu Kuang directly and then read out the next one.
Finally, everyone had finished reading, and only Xu Kuang was left.
"Xu Kuang, Baron of Mushroom Ridge in Baihua City, Baihua County, Baihua County. Because the Viscount of Kolei City in Baihua County asked him to kill 10,000 bandits with more than 5,000 men to protect the peace of the whole country, he is hereby given the title of Viscount and allowed to serve in Mushroom Ridge.
He built a city on the ridge and governed it with a radius of 1,000 kilometers. It could govern a population of 10 million and was awarded the Order of the Red Rose."
As soon as these words came out, the Dukes and Marquises below all looked at Xu Kuang in astonishment.
Although Xu Kuang is still a viscount, his territory and population limit have reached the minimum standards for a count. These nobles do not understand what Xu Kuang did to receive such a generous reward.
But on today's occasion, there was no open-minded proactive inquiry.
Xu Kuang has already thanked him. From today on, he will be Viscount Xu Kuang of Mushroom Ridge.
The king personally awarded Xu Kuang the Order of the Red Rose, which made other viscounts very envious.
…
Soon, the canonization ceremony ended. The king walked up to Xu Kuang and said to Xu Kuang:
"Do you have any other alchemical products? I'm not satisfied with this one."
Xu Kuang chuckled, took out a pocket watch and a gilt self-ringing clock from the storage space, and demonstrated to the king how to use them and the effects.
The king watched as a bud flew out of the small window of the chime, and then the bud spun and bloomed, turning into a yellow rose.
He laughed and said to Xu Kuang:
"Xu Kuang, it must be Xu Kuang. I'm very satisfied. If you do a good job, I believe you will be an earl soon."
Xu Kuang nodded and saluted the king:
"May your majesty be with the yellow rose.".
Xu Kuang's heart was as calm as water, and he was not moved by these things at all. In Xu Kuang's eyes, the king was already a dead man. Although the process of letting him die might last for several years or even decades, he didn't care. His
Life is still long and he can afford to wait.
A tall and thin old man in the audience looked at the obviously more advanced self-ringing bell in the king's hand and immediately knew who Xu Kuang was.
The king left, and Xu Kuang also stepped down from the canonization platform.
As soon as Xu Kuang walked down, he saw the first Duke he visited a few days ago, Duke Xilai.
Duke Xilai looked at Xu Kuang and nodded to him coldly, indicating his approval.
The same was true for the other dukes, but the marquis were much more enthusiastic. They looked at Xu Kuang and chatted with him for a few words, and they seemed to know each other.
A tall and thin old man came over and wanted to say a few words to Xu Kuang, but found that Xu Kuang was missing. He was secretly upset, but there was nothing he could do.
…
Xu Kuang struggled for a long time before returning to his residence. As soon as he lay down, Parker came to visit.
"Congratulations to Viscount Xu Kuang, maybe in a few days you will become an earl."
Xu Kuang looked at Parker in astonishment and asked:
"Why?".
Parker asked rhetorically:
"Don't you know? The title given to you is Viscount, but the fiefdom given to you is already the standard of a count. With this, you will directly squeeze out the White Birch City."
Only then did Xu Kuang realize that, yes, there were dozens of untitled cities between him and Baihua City before, but now, most of them belong to Xu Kuang.
There is also the Pearl River, which now passes through Xu Kuang's territory.
Xu Kuang was really happy. Suddenly he realized that other barons also needed to pay taxes to him.
As for his attack on Victor, it was just lightly revealed.
Xu Kuang was so happy. This was a good thing that he could achieve several times with one stone. How could he not be happy?
…
What was even more shocking was the tall and thin old man. He saw the gilt chiming bell with his own eyes, and it was a gilt chiming bell that was many times more advanced than the one in his hand. He could see that none of the magic circles engraved on it was useless, and
The yellow rose's transformation from rotation to blooming did not rely on the magic circle at all, but purely on the ability of the machine itself.
The old man was in a state of confusion. He secretly regretted that he had not found Xu Kuang in time. If he could have found Xu Kuang in time, he might have a better future in alchemy.
The old man was secretly annoyed, but Xu Kuang had already sent his men to carry out large-scale purchases. He brought more than seven million gold coins with the purpose of purchasing some rare materials in the royal capital.
In three days, just three days, all seven million gold coins were consumed, from materials to monsters, from talents to population, everything was available.
Yes, there is also population. In the royal capital, refugees can also be bought and sold. Ten thousand gold coins and ten thousand people are cheaper than livestock.
