I got promoted?!
From now on you will be the Earl!
Even Sean was surprised that his title was raised inexplicably.
Opportunities for advancement in the Bashalan Empire were rare, primarily due to the country's stability over the years, and the focus on economic development, which lacked any merit for advancement. Furthermore, after several generations of development, a noble would become deeply entrenched in their local area, and the Empire would not rashly relocate or replace a regional lord unless a serious mistake had been made.
But Ryan was talking about the Tacoma area...
The city that was destroyed not long ago during the events of the Immortal Summoning? And it needs to be rebuilt.
Sean hadn't received any specific information yet, so he could only imagine what Ryan Hamilton was saying...
But the other party's face was not very good at the moment. Suddenly, he became the earl of the southeast region with the same title as the other party. This change meant that everything he said just now was useless and nonsense.
The state above his head was full of [Dissatisfaction!] and [Anger!], but he had to keep a smile on his face...
To be honest, Ryan is far worse than his father in this regard. Even the previous Earl Hamilton, who possessed special abilities, felt that he could not fully see through the other party, but the person in front of him was too easy to understand.
"I didn't expect that Baron Weigel left such a trick in Rietis... No, now I should call you Earl Weigel." Ryan said with a forced smile.
Occasionally, there would be a moment when Sean would feel that someone as impatient as Ryan also had his merits. At least their communication was straightforward and not convoluted.
"I'm sorry to make you laugh, but I just got the news."
Before he even mentioned that it was you who told him, his face turned red with anger.
"It's probably too early to get complacent, Sean. The Tacoma area just experienced the so-called Ancient God Followers incident. It's in ruins now, and many people have fled. Even now, the Empire doesn't have a good solution for that place... I'll send you there at this stage, humph. But don't die on the way, or I'll have to recruit people to collect your body."
Once he gets angry, Lian no longer cares about the so-called aristocratic etiquette and temperament, and speaks in a simple and rude manner.
Sean really likes this...
"Don't worry about this matter as an outsider. I can handle it myself." Since things have come to this point, it is no longer a negotiation. What follows is just a quarrel between the two of them.
However, there was no barrier to communication, and it was always great!
If there is nothing to talk about, then there is no need to talk about it.
Sean put down his teacup, stood up and was about to leave when he was suddenly stopped again.
Looking back, it wasn't Ryan Hamilton but Warren who had been standing beside him...
"Does Wizard Warren have something to say to me?"
The other party's face was gloomy, and he still showed an undisguised expression of [dissatisfaction!].
"I hope you can remember what I just said, otherwise..."
"What else?" Sean looked at the other person with a smile.
"Aleenta is not someone that anyone can mess with."
"Really? Then I'll wait and see." After saying that, he left without looking back.
Since the empire intends to promote me and my status is the same as the other party, there is no need to say more.
Because of its geographical location, Telemian was inevitably restricted by the city of Koga, and he did not even expect the sudden news of his promotion.
Who would have introduced himself for promotion?
Grand Duke or Prince...
Or Frelia.
Sean believed that it was Frelia's suggestion, but the Tacoma area had just suffered a disaster, so why was he suddenly asked to go there to build a city?
I really want to write a letter and send it directly to Lietis, but at the moment I don't have my own intelligence network, and a simple letter delivery is likely to be intercepted by Ryan and others. It can be seen from the fact that Alia sent a letter to me that they even knew the content. It is obvious that the letter was the first to pass through their hands during the delivery process.
I have no power at the moment, and if I give it to an ordinary courier, who knows where it will be delivered to!
Because he was carrying the Cain Slate, Sean tried to minimize his contact with Frelia in public...
Even Earl Hamilton has so many spies under his command, so let alone Prince Philip's power. The stone slab was intentionally hidden by the two of them. If they were suspected, it would probably bring trouble to the Wings of the Covering Sky.
When Sean returned to the Scovey store, he couldn't stop thinking about his promotion.
Ricklord and Igonia were both there. When they saw me back, they asked anxiously...
"Sean, I heard that you were called over by Earl Hamilton. Are you okay?!" The two looked at Sean who was thinking.
"It's okay, but I have something I want to tell you."
"What?"
"I might...become a count!"
ah? ! !
Both of them had expressions of [surprise!] on their faces.
"This is the news I received at the Earl's Mansion. The Empire has ordered me to become the Earl of the Tacoma region..."
……………………
I have never had any experience of promotion, but I didn't expect that this news would gradually become known to everyone.
It felt like someone had won the top spot in the imperial examination in the previous life. People on the streets started talking about Baron Weigel from Telemian Town going to the Tacoma area to become the Earl of Trust.
The Tacoma area originally belonged to the Francis family, but in the last incident, all the members of the Francis family were killed, and there was not even an heir.
For now, the aftermath is still the focus of discussion in the imperial capital. However, at this time, there is a sudden appointment that makes an unknown country baron become the lord of that area!
It is estimated that no one except the people in the area of Koga City knows who Baron Weigel is... It's like a person who suddenly appeared out of nowhere, and no one has heard of his reputation before.
Many cities or merchants adjacent to the Tacoma area even need to purchase noble genealogy books from the southern border to find the name of this unknown nobleman.
But after searching, I realized that luck is sometimes really unreasonable.
All the books describing the Weiger family said that this family had always lived deep in the mountains and had never contacted the outside world. The last time they appeared was during the riot in Koga City...
I got promoted less than a year after graduating!
What kind of luck is this?
Many gossips speculate that the southeastern region is likely located at the border of Adak, and is a territory fought over by many noble factions. However, this unknown baron, because he is quiet enough and does not communicate with outsiders, just balances all the fighting factions, allowing the Royal Wizard Corps enough time to investigate the affairs of the ancient gods.
Gradually, this kind of discussion became more and more frequent, and in some areas it almost overshadowed the previous discussions about the believers of the ancient gods!
