When Lei Zhantian arrived, he caused a huge commotion. When he left, he didn't even dare to fart. However, when he glanced at Zhang Xing, his eyes were filled with murderous intent!
Emperor Keith didn't intend to force Lei Zhantian to stay.
He knew that since Lei Zhantian dared to come alone, he must have prepared a backup plan. Emperor Keith and the deans weren't fully prepared and couldn't keep Lei Zhantian here.
Besides, there was no need to do anything to Lei Zhantian now.
The empire had the Magic Dragon Knight Zhang Xing. After a few more years of training, they could fight however they wanted. A mere Lei Zhantian wouldn't be able to cause any trouble!
Emperor Keith had lived for more than 80 years. There was no other time that could compare to this moment. Even when he ascended the throne, he wasn't as excited as he was now!
"Zhang Xing, listen to my orders!"
Swoosh!
Everyone looked at Zhang Xing. They knew that His Majesty was going to reward him handsomely. There must be a lot of benefits.
In these people's eyes, there were all kinds of emotions. Of course, most of them were envious, jealous, and resentful. There were also some who were in a state of dissociation.
What were they thinking? Oh no!
It should be said that only they knew what they were imagining.
However, they were definitely not thinking of anything good. It couldn't be said that these people's hearts were dark and couldn't bear to see others doing well. It could only be said that their greed was too strong.
If there was a child carrying a bag of gold coins on the street, what would the surrounding adults do?
Emperor Keith's method was to invite this child to the palace and use his gold coins to expand the palace.
Zhang Xing followed the etiquette of other magicians and walked forward to wait for his orders.
"Zhang Xing won first place in the beginner's magic competition of Six Academies. He will be rewarded one million gold coins and be conferred the title of Viscount!
"He won first place again in the challenge of Six Academies. He will be rewarded five million gold coins and be conferred the title of Baron!"
Speaking of this, Emperor Keith paused for a moment. He lowered his eyes slightly as if he was thinking about something. However, his eyes then revealed a determined look.
"Zhang Xing led his black dragon companion and defeated the Earth Dragon of the Leiwu Kingdom. He won the supreme glory for the Feixing Kingdom.
"He will be conferred the title of First Earl!"
Boom!
As soon as Emperor Keith's words fell, everyone's heart trembled!
Oh my god!
The reward of six million gold coins was enough.
Even if it was a title, wouldn't it be enough to give him a viscount?
From a poor commoner to an Earl, this was a precedent that had never happened since the founding of the country!
Furthermore, he had directly skipped the Baron and Marquis ranks above the Viscount rank. His Majesty Keith was determined to bind Zhang Xing to his side!
Zhang Xing had read The Deer and the Cauldron, in which Wei Xiaobao was conferred the title of Duke of Deer and the Cauldron at a young age by Kangxi.
However, they were all empty seats and were of no use at all.
Give me something more practical, such as gold coins or territory. It would be best if I didn't have to manage it myself, and I could just collect money every month!
Just as she thought of this, she heard Emperor Keith speak.
"Turn Redbud City into Zhang Xing's territory. You don't have to pay the taxes in the city for ten years!"
"Also, Principal Jager, please go back and get Zhang Xing's graduation certificate done. Let him enter the Royal Magic Academy to study!"
Jager had originally planned to shamelessly ask Emperor Keith for a title for Zhang Xing.
He didn't expect His Majesty to go all the way and confer him the title of First Earl.
Furthermore, he even gave him territory. Redbud City was a treasure city. Not only was it rich, but it was also the first gate to the imperial capital.
Although it shared a border with the Leiwu Kingdom, it had an important seaport. Trade between the various countries was transported through it.
So His Majesty Keith wanted Zhang Xing to guard the gate for him!
However, this wasn't a bad thing. Zhang Xing was still young and didn't need to guard the city.
It was enough to let everyone know that the land belonged to Zhang Xing. Who would dare to lead an army in?
