"Master! His Majesty's special envoy is waiting in the main hall!" The butler rushed in.

Zhou Yi arrived at the main hall.

A eunuch, holding a golden scroll, sat arrogantly in the main seat.

"You are Caesar?"

The eunuch glanced at Zhou Yi.

Zhou Yi raised an eyebrow.

"I am."

"Kneel down to receive the imperial decree!" the eunuch said calmly.

Zhou Yi smiled.

"I'm listening."

The eunuch's face darkened: "Caesar! How dare you defy royal authority?"

Zhou Yi's smile slowly faded. "Are you blind?! A mere lackey dares to make me kneel! I suspect you're a spy for the tribe! Guards! Drag him away and behead him!"

Several level 50 guards rushed into the hall and captured the eunuch.

The eunuch's face changed drastically, and he hurriedly said, "Misunderstanding! Misunderstanding! Lord Caesar! This is a necessary courtesy!"

Zhou Yi sneered, "Yesterday, when the king came to my house as a guest, I didn't even kneel down. Who do you think you are?"

The guards dragged the eunuch out, and outside the door, guards had already drawn their broadswords.

"I was wrong! Spare my life! Lord Caesar, I have come on behalf of His Majesty to bestow upon you the title of Duke!" the eunuch cried out in terror.

Zhou Yi waved his hand: "What did you just say you would bestow upon me?"

"The Duke...it's the Duke!" the eunuch exclaimed hastily.

Zhou Yi snatched the golden scroll and opened it to read.

The gist of it is that he saved Beach City several times and defeated demons and monsters, and his achievements were outstanding and unparalleled, so he was granted the title of Duke.

Zhou Yi nodded in satisfaction.

The old king was quite generous.

In addition to the title, there was also a fiefdom, a hundred times larger than the guild headquarters outside the city.

In addition, the Duke can participate in court assemblies and form his own private guard.

This guard is different from ordinary guilds. The private guard belongs entirely to Caesar and can recruit NPCs and send them out to carry out various missions.

"Alright, you can get lost now!"

Upon hearing this, the guards threw the eunuch out of the hall.

The eunuch didn't dare look back and scrambled out of the room.

The guards burst into laughter.

The eunuch stood outside the mansion, his face grim. "Caesar! You just wait!"

No sooner had he finished speaking than a huge object fell from the sky, the strong wind it generated knocking the eunuch over and sending him tumbling several times.

"Hahaha! Little eunuch, after delivering the imperial edict, you still don't know how to report back?" A loud laugh rang out.

A young, blond knight jumped down from the griffin.

He was clad in armor and had a handsome appearance.

"Which blind fool..." The eunuch, disheveled, got up.

Upon seeing the young knight, he swallowed the rest of his words.

Prince Anduin Wrynn of Stormwind!

Damn it! Another guy I can't mess with.

Anduin smiled dismissively and strolled into Caesar's mansion.

"Your Grace, this is the medal of honor that my father ordered me to deliver to you!"

Anduin respectfully presented a lion head medal.

"My father has always welcomed your investment in Stormwind. If Your Excellency is interested, please contact me. Stormwind will offer you the most favorable policies."

Zhou Yi smiled and said, "Your Highness, please thank your father for me. I will definitely pay him a visit another day!"

Anduin suddenly whispered, "Does Your Excellency the Duke have any plans to establish a private guard?"

"Yes, there are."

"What do you think of me? I've practiced martial arts and holy light since I was a child, and I once defeated five orc warriors simultaneously in the arena!"

Zhou Yi's mind stirred.

This guy will inherit the throne of Varian and become a big star in the following versions, definitely the chosen one of the versions.

If we could recruit them into our camp, wouldn't we be able to lock in the version's benefits in advance?

The key point is that this guy's strength is indeed remarkable after he grows up; he's the only NPC plate armor priest.

"About your father..."

“You don’t need to worry about my father. He has always supported my adventures. I’ve heard that you frequently travel to various secret realms to kill those evil leaders. I am willing to become your follower!” Anduin said with a determined look on his face.

Zhou Yi smiled slightly.

"Alright, you'll be the first member, the captain of the Lion King Squad."

The followers Anduin refers to are not servants, but rather partners.

No matter how much King Varian values ​​him, he would never allow his son, the Crown Prince of Stormwind, to become someone else's servant.

What is our organization called?

"sentinel."

Before long, Ironforge, Theramore, Teldrassil, and other major Alliance cities sent him medals of valor.

With the Medal of Valor, Caesar could travel through these cities as a top nobleman.

They enjoy privileges such as maximum spending discounts, land purchases, diplomatic immunity, and the ability to recruit soldiers.

This also signifies that all the leaders of the alliance have given him their full approval.

[You have obtained 2000 Evolution Points, 200 Creation Gems, 20 Scrolls, Skill Books: Xuanwu Flow (Tier 2 Legendary), Divine Demon War Drum (Tier 2 Special), and Flying Mount: Headless Horseman's Reins]

Zhou Yi was somewhat surprised.

He clearly remembered that the loot placed on the larger account was less than this reward.

The number of Evolution Points, Creation Gems, and Scrolls has doubled, and there is also an additional flying mount.

Could it be an extra reward from the system?
