"I can finally say a few words to you, Viscount Lant." After the proposal, Li Qi Honglong met Lant alone. "First of all, I want to sincerely apologize. This matter has finally affected your reputation."
"I wasn't affected at all." Although Lant admitted that Li Qi's methods were indeed clever, he also disliked this method of treating others as pawns. "I'm afraid the one who was really affected was Teacher Gu Leiya."
"Of course, that's why I asked our ladies to apologize in advance before entering the venue." Li Qi looked at Lant with some surprise, "Viscount, I have always hoped to make you the deputy captain of my guard. Unfortunately, The legends didn’t quite agree.”
"You're too polite. I'm just the fourth son of a border baron. I got what I am today because of good luck." Lant is very self-aware of himself. "A person like me is not suitable to live in the royal capital."
"Humility is the virtue of a knight, but if you are too humble, you will miss many opportunities, my Lord Viscount." Prince Li Qi was very happy that Lant could support him today.
"Speaking of which, it's really a great help to me that you can let Tierney Joyason be your family knight. Tierney is the heart of Teacher Lielle. Whether it is me or the Lanyuan family, we have always hoped that he can find a place. As a feudal knight, his grandfather..."
Li Qi did not go on. Lant also knew that his grandfather was once the leader of the Royal Palace Knights, but now he was sent to the temple. His identity was too sensitive, and other nobles did not dare to offend or make friends with him. As a result, Tierney had no potential. , but no one wants to cultivate it.
Tierney is an outcast, and Rand is a marginal figure. No one cares about it anyway. No one cares about Lant giving Tierney the title of a family knight.
"Looking at what you said, Tierney has a pure character and has received careful guidance from Mentor Lielle. He will definitely be able to break through to a high level in the future. I am still waiting for him to become the captain of the Knights."
"Hahaha" Li Qi finally found the words to say, "Speaking of which, Viscount Lant, your knights have a large number of people. Isn't it difficult to maintain them?"
"To be honest," Lant had already prepared for the response. "Although my knights are large in size, they are mainly composed of barbarian cavalry. The human knights in the knights are all plundered by barbarians from the salt mines of the Galloping Horse Plains. Knights. Now that I want to restore the production of salt mines, I must let the barbarians return to the salt mines to mine salt. Most of the knights will probably be stationed near the salt mines."
Providing salt to the entire kingdom is Lant's biggest task as Viscount Lot. This task has been unanimously recognized by everyone from the pillars of the country to the Earl of Maned Wolf. Naturally, no one can drive Li Qi away.
"So that's it." Li Qi wasn't surprised by this, and Lant wasn't stupid either. It would be strange if he could give it to a knight group.
"Your Highness, I just listened to your plan for Dragon Tooth City. I believe you must have had a grand vision."
"Yes, no matter how good the plan is, it still needs the support of many nobles."
"I will return to Maned Wolf City today. There are still too many things to do in the territory, but I will let Dugan and Tierney stay and help me take care of my business in the royal capital. Of course, I have assigned them A detachment of 25 cavalrymen to assist them.”
"Ah, Lant, you are so brave to take action." Li Qi couldn't help but sigh. Lant was actually able to station 25 cavalry in the royal capital. In comparison, Viscount Bob Roth, who was once the strongest under the Earl of Maned Wolf, had a total of only 25 cavalrymen. There are only 25 knights.
Li Qi's guard now only has 50 knights, and only 10 of them are his family knights. The rest are either part-time palace knights, or they are children of palace nobles. In short, Li Qi wants to make 50 of his own. It takes some effort for the knights to come together.
"Duggan Blue Dragon will be my representative here. If you need anything from me, just tell him directly." Lant seemed to be asking Li Qi to use his power, but in fact he was not.
Dugan Blue Dragon was the former squadron leader of the Royal Palace Knights. Li Qi’s knights who could command were almost all the children of Dugan’s former colleagues. Lant asked Li Qi to come to Dugan if he had anything to do, unless Li Qi lowered her face and went there in person. Look for him, otherwise Li Qi's subordinates might look for him and be directly rejected by Du Gen.
"Great, I knew Viscount Lant would support me." Li Qi also understood the meaning. No matter how Lant could give him something to do, he had shown his support for him.
"By the way, Your Highness, I have prepared some gifts for you. They are all specialties from the Galloping Horse Plains. Please send someone to pick them up from our Chamber of Commerce at some time." When the conversation was about to end, Lant said something.
"Viscount Lant, you really spent a lot of money. I'll ask Crillius to get it later." Li Qi didn't think about Lant's gift seriously, and just asked his chief knight to send Lant away.
The chief knight took Lant back to the restaurant and asked, "Mr. Viscount, I wonder what gift you have prepared for the Duke?"
As Crillius Lanyuan, who is actually going to get the gift, he needs to evaluate how many people are appropriate to take with him.
"Twenty black-scaled horses," Lant said with no expression on his face, but he felt very unhappy in his heart. These horses were not so much for Li Qi as they were for the Fairy Queen.
"20... what did you say?" Clelius even stopped in his tracks. Even for a palace knight like him, black scale horses are rare and good horses. Giving 20 horses directly is an absolute generous act.
"His Royal Highness has always said that he wants me to be the court earl. I am very touched. It is a pity that people have to press on the plain and cannot support His Highness.
So I’m sending some horses over, and please tell His Highness that you don’t think this gift is too light.” Lant has been to the Blue Dragon family’s shop and knows that in the royal capital, the price of a batch of Warcraft horses is higher than that of the Earl of Maned Wolf. The price given is higher.
"...How can it be possible? I will explain it to His Highness in a moment." Clelius was very excited. He was finally able to replace the old horse before. "The Viscount supports His Highness so much. Is there anything that His Highness needs to help with?" Woolen cloth?"
"Originally I didn't dare to trouble His Highness, but my territory is too weak and I would like Your Highness to help me run a magic fairy."
"You mean the magic goblin?" Clelius was shocked. You breeders are really generous and generous, and you don't hesitate to ask for things.
"No way, just an ordinary magic fairy will do"
"Oh... you mean the little goblin, then you can just tell me." Clelius breathed a sigh of relief. If Lant really wanted the big goblin, he could only report it to the Duke as it was.
After blending with Clelius, Lant's main task was completed. After returning to the banquet hall, he had enough to eat and drink, and asked Dugan to send him back.
Prince Li Qi, who learned that Lant had given him a horse, felt very happy. Although the marquis's descendants showed a betrayal alliance against him today, the new lord of Galloping Horse Plains supported him.
Naturally, Lant's generous gift was rewarded soon. In the afternoon, Clelius brought people and took away 20 black-scaled horses. These black-scaled horses were specially made by Lant to be ridden by his subordinates in the name of the guards. Since it was a subordinate who rode to the royal capital and gave it to the Duke, he naturally did not violate the agreement with the Count.
And Lant also received Li Qi's kindness, an oval stone, and a World of Warcraft egg.
