The banquet was held in the main hall in the front wing of the palace. Four giant dragon-coiled pillars in the corners supported the dome of the main hall. A long row of dining tables ran from north to south of the main hall. The smell of sandalwood wafted in the air.
The spacious and atmospheric environment shows the unique royal style. Even though there are more than a hundred people in the hall now, it doesn't seem crowded at all.
The dragon chair in the north of the palace is high up, exuding a royal feeling even if there is no one around.
Ludy III hadn't arrived yet, so the guests were much more casual.
Under the guidance of Kanas and Andor, Chutian kept visiting all the adults. While being polite to these big shots, Chu Tian was cursing the hypocrisy of the nobles in his heart. He kept bowing his head and saluting, making Master Chu's neck sore, but he still had to endure the aristocratic demeanor.
Chu Tian suddenly missed Chi Yan: I wonder how it felt when he stabbed it in the neck?
I have to say that Chu Tian really looks a bit aristocratic now. With his holy sacrificial robes, white jade staff that is faintly glowing, and his noble and elegant behavior, who can tell that he is a veterinarian?
Chu Tian was quite proud of being frequently chatted up by ladies and young ladies. Maybe a romantic story would really happen tonight!
Andor followed Chutian all the time, greeting his old friends and chatting with Chutian from time to time.
His humorous words and affable attitude greatly increased Chu Tian's affection for this fat old man.
"Your Majesty has arrived!" Following the high-pitched voice of the guard, everyone suddenly fell silent, and for a while, you could hear falling leaves in the hall.
"Welcome Your Majesty!" As if the rehearsal had been completed, the neat voice sounded at the same time as Lu Di III entered the palace.
Chu Tian also bowed and saluted, but his eyes were secretly looking at the young emperor who was approaching in stride.
Ordinary people! Young Master Chu made a comment.
"It's just a bit imposing. Noticing the solemn expressions of the people around him, Chu Tian added another sentence. It is unrealistic for people born in modern society to have awe of an emperor.
Not to mention a bold person like Chu Tian. However, although Ludi III was ordinary in appearance, the prestige he had accumulated from being in power for a long time made the ministers present breathe carefully.
"Haha, today is a happy day. Don't be too restrained, everyone, just sit down." After pressing his hands to signal everyone to sit down, Lu Di III turned his eyes to Chu Tian.
"Are you Chu Tian?" Lu Di III looked at Chu Tian with interest and asked with a smile. He seemed quite satisfied with the appearance of Young Master Chu.
"Chu Tian pays homage to Your Majesty!" He quickly stepped forward and saluted again. After living for twenty years, the total number of salutes he had done was not as many as today! Chu Tian lamented.
While he dealt with Ludy III's greetings to Anthony and some worthless compliments with a straight face, Chu Tian's mind had already been focused on the reward.
"Chutian, you have made great contributions to the country this time, and you should be heavily rewarded!" The topic finally turned to practical issues!
Chu Tian calmed his heartbeat that was accelerating due to excitement, and answered humbly: "As a member of Caesar's Empire, it is an honor for me to contribute to His Majesty! I dare not ask for rewards!"
But my heart is shouting: Let the gold coins and beauties come more violently!
"In our Caesar Empire, rewards and punishments are clear. How can we not reward you for your merits? I will give you a first-class earl! Tens of thousands of gold coins!"
"In addition, the name Chutian is a bit weird and does not suit the status of a mainland noble. I will give you another Christian name - Vladino!"
That's it, Chutian, no! Vladino ꔷ天ꔷchu officially entered the mainland's aristocratic circle.
Chu Tian thanked him calmly, but Chu Tian still had the same unchanging expression. It was as if the title and gold coins were not thrown at him.
But Chu Tian's reaction made Lu Di III's eyes light up, and he secretly admired it. He gave Chu Tian eight words in his heart: I am not surprised! It can be of great use!
——
Gulu... swallowed hard and clenched his unsatisfied hands, trying not to make them tremble again.
Lu Di III left the hall after bestowing the reward, and Chu Tian finally calculated the value of ten thousand gold coins.
Ten thousand pieces! Ten thousand gold coins! When Anthony left, he only gave him a bag of silver coins. This bag of silver coins alone allowed Chu Tian to squander all the way from the Sunset Mountains to Pompeii. Now he got 10,000 coins at once, and they were still gold coins!
It would be one million if converted into silver coins!
Young Master Chu suddenly entered the ranks of millionaires.
Praise the goddess of life! Huge happiness instantly surrounded Chu Tian.
The conferment of a knighthood was expected, but not enough to impress Chu Tian, who had been prepared for it. But the gold coin came so suddenly that Chu Tian didn't understand its value for a while.
However, the goddess of life seems to really care for her followers: Chu Tian has not realized that his ignorant performance just now has paved a smooth official career for himself in the heart of Lu Di III!
"Congratulations, Earl! Hehe!" The sound of congratulations woke Chu Tian up from his dream.
Looking sideways, it turned out to be Reggie, the heir to the Pampas family whom he had just met.
"Haha, we are happy together! We are happy together!" Chu Tian did not dare to neglect.
The famous playboy in front of him has been a marquis since he was born, and the significance his family represents is even more extraordinary.
There is nothing that Pampas cannot buy. This sentence is the consensus of all Caesars. The Pampas family, which has been passed down for hundreds of years, has existed since the founding of the Caesar Empire and has been managed with great concentration by generations of patriarchs.
Today's Pampas not only controls most of Caesar's industries, but also has several golden trade routes across the continent.
According to popular rumors, the main reason why Ludi III was able to defeat many princes and inherit the throne was the financial resources of the Pampas family!
A goldfish, a big goldfish made of gold. This is Chutian's positioning towards Reggie, the heir to Caesar's richest man.
Chu Tian understood that his wealth was no different from that of a beggar in front of Pampas' eldest son.
Having made this clear, Chu Tian put on his most sincere smile and started chatting with Reggie.
The more they chatted, the happier they became. Chu Tian found that Reggie, a playboy, was too much for his liking!
There is no arrogance of a dandy at all, his language is straightforward and frank, and he also uses a few swear words from time to time. He feels like a college dormitory brother!
Gradually, the two of them unknowingly put aside their damn aristocratic appearance, put their arms around each other, and whispered about the quality of the beauties in Yanjing, and occasionally heard a few silvery laughter...
"Fladino, do you know? Wait, Caesar's most beautiful woman may attend!" Reggie raised his eyebrows and teased Chu Tian with his lewd eyes.
"Don't be stunned then."
"Caesar's most beautiful woman? Who is it? Such an arrogant nickname! Isn't it bragging?" Chu Tiantian was used to seeing all kinds of plastic surgery stars on the earth, and Chu Tiancai didn't believe that he would be stunned by the original beauties here.
After punching Chu Tian hard, Reggie said angrily: "Damn! Of course it's His Majesty's sister, Princess Serena. I'm warning you. If you dare to slander the goddess in my heart again, I will fight you!"
"Praise the goddess of life, I remember you are just an ordinary person, duel? I will accompany you to the end!" Chu Tianjian said with a smile.
Looking at Chu Tian's deceitful smile and comparing his physique with that of his opponent, Reggie gave up - "Damn it! I wonder if you are a student of the Holy Priest, to be so shameless!"
Chu Tian chuckled and said a famous saying on earth: "Shameless is my character! Haha!"
Even more shameless than me! Reggie was speechless.
"It smells so good!" A faint fragrance suddenly floated in the air, making Master Chu's nose feel itchy.
"I didn't expect that a student of the Holy Sacrifice would call myself shameless!?" A clear and sweet voice came from behind Chu Tian...
