The huge villa in the St. Tulan City, which could accommodate all of Yang Feng's subordinates, had been purchased by Bousso.
Inside the villa, in a luxuriously decorated room, Yang Feng sat on a tiger-skin sofa. Sitting opposite him were Cassius and his daughter.
Yang Feng said with a faint smile: "Girón was accidentally injured by me when he challenged me.
According to the laws of the empire, I have no obligation to treat him.
However, I have always been a generous person. 6 million gold coins, as long as you can give me 6 million gold coins, then I'll treat him. "
Becky was startled and exclaimed: "6 million gold coins!!
How can we come up with so much money!! "
Cassius couldn't help but frown slightly.
Human Sacred Swordsmen were humans living in the secular world. They weren't immortals, nor were they gods who lived high up in the Star Divine Country and didn't have to worry about money.
Human Sacred Swordsmen also had to work, or have their own businesses, in order to earn money.
Generally, Sacred Swordsmen would open dojos and accept children of greater aristocrats as apprentices.
Or they would directly seek refuge with the court and serve as the court's lackeys.
Of the 5 Legend rank Sacred Swordsmen of the sword of justice, 2 of them were experts who later sought refuge with the court.
Cassius also made a living by opening a dojo. The total assets of his family were more than 1 million gold coins, but the liquid funds were only over 100,000 gold coins.
He didn't lack small amounts of money, but he couldn't come up with such a huge sum as 6 million gold coins.
Yang Feng said lightly: "It's a precious elixir that can restore a damaged dantian and restore qi.
Naturally, the price can't be low.
If you don't want to, you can also ask the Popes of the temples. As long as they cast the level-4 divine spell Great Praise of Life, Girón's injuries can also be healed. "
The level-4 divine spell Great Praise of Life was one of the strongest healing divine spells of the temples.
Once cast, no matter what kind of injury it was, it could be quickly healed within a day.
The person who had one foot in the Gates of Hell would be pulled out.
Such a powerful theurgy could only be performed by the popes of the various shrines or the pinnacle powerhouses among the cardinals. Besides, they would have to pay a huge price to perform such a powerful recovery theurgy. Basically, no one would perform such a powerful theurgy for a mere Star Knight.
Becky was so choked that she couldn't speak.
The Popes and cardinals of the various Shrines were all extremely revered figures.
Even if Cassius begged, the popes of the major shrines would never agree to cast such a powerful recovery magic on Girón.
After all, Cassius had experienced countless storms and waves. He said calmly, "Earl Ian, since you asked us to come here, you must have the intention to treat Girón.
Please state your terms! "
Yang Feng smiled and revealed his true intentions: "I can cure Girón.
However, I hope that you can become my retainer and work for me! "
Cassius said meaningfully, "Earl Ian, do you know how many great nobles have tried to recruit me over the years?"
Yang Feng shook his head slightly.
Cassius said faintly: "A total of 137 great nobles have tried to recruit me and have me work for them.
However, my family didn't agree either.
I can't think of any reason to work for you. "
Yang Feng said unhurriedly: "That's only because they can't offer you something that can tempt you.
Cassius, I can make you an aristocrat! "
Cassius smiled faintly, but didn't speak.
If he was willing to join the court of the Morrince Empire and become its lackey, he could easily obtain the title of a court earl, become a court aristocrat, and enjoy all the rights of an aristocrat.
The corners of Yang Feng's mouth rose slightly, and he continued: "I can make you a hereditary peer aristocrat."
Cassius' eyelids twitched slightly, and his eyes flashed with a touch of graveness.
Hereditary peer aristocrats could be passed down from generation to generation and had their own fief. Even a trifling hereditary peer knight was considered to have truly stepped into the aristocratic class.
Yang Feng said with a smile: "If you side with me, I can divide a fief and recommend you to the empire as a chevalier, becoming a member of the hereditary peer aristocracy!"
Cassius' heart thumped, and ripples appeared in his originally calm and tranquil eyes.
He, who grew up in the Morrince Empire, understood how difficult it was to obtain a hereditary peer aristocrat.
In their fief, a hereditary peer aristocrat was like a local tyrant. As long as they paid a certain amount of gold coins to the royal family every year, they could do whatever they wanted. Furthermore, they could legally form a private army of less than 200 people to guard their fief.
An aristocrat with the title of a hereditary peer aristocrat was qualified to join the circle of first-rate aristocrats and become a member of the exclusive aristocrats.
Although Cassius was the Lightning Sacred Swordsman and possessed formidable martial prowess, greater aristocrats came to recruit him.
However, he was very clear that they came to recruit him in order to get a powerful thug and bodyguard, not a companion on the same level as them.
One of the important reasons why Cassius wasn't willing to side with greater aristocrats was that when he aged and his strength declined to a certain extent.
As a thug, it was very likely that he would be abandoned or even eliminated by his master.
Yang Feng said with a faint smile: "If you make enough contributions, I can even help you become a hereditary peer baron and make you a member of the true aristocracy.
You know, the Red Earth Wasteland is extremely vast. Dividing a fief is nothing for me! "
"Hereditary peer baron!!"
Cassius' eyes erupted with a scorching glint, his heart pounded madly, and his blood flowed frantically.
Unless the Sacred Swordsmen who sided with the Morrince Empire made great contributions, otherwise, after serving the empire for a lifetime, they might only get 1 or 2 fiefs and become an aristocrat.
Only the luckier ones might get a fief and let their descendants step into the aristocratic class.
The title of hereditary peer baron only appeared in the founding years of the Morrince Empire, or in the most critical battles when the Morrince Empire engaged in a large-scale war with its old enemy, the Titan Empire, or when a demonic plague or a sea disaster swept the world.
Yang Feng said faintly: "How about this, if you're willing to side with me and fight for me wholeheartedly.
Even if you die in battle, I'll guarantee that your son or daughter will become a hereditary peer baron.
Of course, a hereditary peer baron is only the bottom line. If you make enough contributions, it's not impossible for you to go a step further and become a hereditary peer viscount.
We can go to the Temple of Contracts to notarize this promise! "
Cassius' mouth suddenly went dry, and his eyes flickered with ecstasy: "Hereditary peer viscount!!!"
In the Morrince Empire, aristocrats with hereditary peer earl titles and above were called greater aristocrats and had great power.
Aristocrats with hereditary peer baron titles and above were considered true aristocrats.
Hereditary peer viscounts, on the other hand, were considered quasi-greater aristocrats.
Some powerful hereditary peer viscounts could even be accepted into the circle of greater aristocrats and become a member of true greater aristocrats.
Cassius couldn't resist such a huge temptation.
In the Morrince Empire, apart from the emperor and some top aristocratic families with a long history, no one could offer a fief to recruit a Sacred Swordsman.
After contemplating for a while, Cassius's eyes flashed with a touch of firmness and he said solemnly: "Earl Ian, if you can fulfill your promise, then I'm willing to join you and become your retainer!"
"This is the contract. Take a look and see if there are any problems." Yang Feng smiled, then took out a contract and handed it to Cassius.
Cassius took the contract and looked at it carefully for a while. His eyes flashed with a touch of a complicated glint, and he said faintly: "Sir Earl, it seems that you have prepared this contract.
So the misunderstanding between you and my daughter is also part of your plan? "
Becky was startled and looked at Yang Feng with a bit of fear in her beautiful eyes.
Yang Feng said with a smile: "No, I just took advantage of the situation, that's all.
Of course, if you hadn't come, I would have had other options. Sacred Gale Swordsman, Sacred Gale Swordsman, Sacred Flame Swordsman, Sacred Wind-Fire Swordsman, there are dozens of Sacred Swordsmen in the St. Tulan City who haven't been recruited yet. If I visited them one by one, I would eventually be able to recruit 2 or 3 Sacred Swordsmen. "
Cassius contemplated for a while before finally nodding slightly.
Obtaining a lordship and directly promoting to a hereditary lordship was a great temptation for the legendary Sacred Swordsmen in the St. Tulan City.
Compared to Legend Wizards who wholeheartedly delved into all kinds of knowledge and possessed great wealth, Sacred Swordsmen were more susceptible to the temptation of power and wealth.
Legend rank powerhouses were also people. They had their own families and friends, and they also wanted to stand out.
There were also Sacred Swordsmen who wholeheartedly pursued the pinnacle of martial arts. However, even more Sacred Swordsmen pursued fame and wealth, and threw themselves into the Morrince Empire's imperial court or greater aristocratic families.
On the Feisuo Plane, gods stood aloof and looked down on mortals.
The imperial family, greater aristocrats, aristocrats, and churches jointly controlled the world. It was a society with a strict hierarchy.
Even though Sacred Swordsmen were tyrannical in martial arts, but they could only climb up step by step in this strict social system.
People who were tyrannical in martial arts didn't necessarily have a high social status and live a better life.
Hereditary peer aristocrats, on the other hand, had a high social status. As long as they weren't too stupid, they would live a good life.
Yang Feng said with a smile: "Then let's go to the Temple of Contracts and sign a fair contract under the witness of the mighty God of Contracts!"
Cassius was also somewhat impatient. He got up, and then smiled awkwardly to conceal the anxiety in his heart, saying: "Okay!"
