While Zhao Feng was enjoying this delicious food, he heard a message from outside the door: "Lord, please check it out."

"Okay." Zhao Feng put down the bowl and went to get the letter.

During the year in the territory, Zhao Feng often corresponded with Jerry Evans to seek some of his opinions and suggestions for use in territory construction. Even during the war, it never stopped.

Many of Jerry Evans's strategies to defeat the Carlos were from Zhao Feng's letters. Since I have read many military books in modern times, Zhao Feng's ability to talk about war on paper is pretty good. Although sometimes his opinions seem ridiculous and naive, sometimes his wonderful ideas can also give Jerry Evans a different perspective and new ideas.

Zhao Feng also made some of the telescopes and incendiary bombs he invented and gave them to Jerry Evans, which came in handy.

Of course, these are not free gifts, but are charged for gold coins.

But compared to the insignificant gold coins, the incendiary bombs and telescopes made by Zhao Feng played a huge role in the war, directly reversing the situation and saving the lives of many soldiers.

Zhao Feng did not ask that his name and credit be made public. For him, it would be better to be low-key, at least it would not attract the attention of the imperial capital. Jerry Evans had the same idea, so all this was transmitted through the Emperor's love affairs, and the intelligence would not be exposed.

These letters deepened the relationship between Zhao Feng and Jerry Evans. Zhao Feng respected and loved this cheap grandfather as much as he treated his own grandfather.

In modern times, when he was born, his grandfather had passed away. He had never seen his grandfather before, nor had he experienced this kind of relationship between grandfathers and grandchildren.

In another world, he made up for this past regret.

"What will you say this time?" Zhao Feng took out the sealing wax on the letter, took out the letter paper, looked carefully, and couldn't help but reveal a thoughtful expression.

"What did you write?" Aphra couldn't help asking when she saw Zhao Fengdi's appearance.

Zhao Feng put away the letter and said, "A year passed so quickly. It passed in a blink of an eye. Now I have to leave the territory and go to the imperial capital."

"Imperial Capital?" Everyone was confused when they heard this news. Only Bernese did not respond. Instead, he lowered his head and ate and said coldly: "It seems that the Count has to be promoted."

"Is that true?" Everyone showed surprise expressions when they heard Bernice's words.

Zhao Feng nodded and said, "The letter said that I am already an adult and have to go to the imperial capital to attend the coming-of-age ceremony, and by the way, I have to accept the title and enthronement ceremony of the empire."

"Wow, it's so amazing. What kind of title is this time?" Aphra said happily when he heard Zhao Feng's words.

Zhao Feng said: "Of course I have been promoted to a marquis. However, it was only a second-class marquis, and it was upgraded to about three levels at once. It was all thanks to my grandfather!"

The titles of the empire are divided into titles such as Duke and Marquis Bozinan. Duke and Marquis enjoy the salary of the empire and the treatment of the nobles, and have superb treatment such as free and territorial autonomy.

Each title is divided into three levels, divided into first-class, second-class, or third-class titles, which are used to receive salary and the obligations and treatments specified. The difference is not particularly large. Most of the aristocratic classes are not short of money unless they are some nobles who have fallen into the ground.

The high-ranking titles of the empire can be inherited in hereditary form, but they need to be inherited by a second level, and can only be inherited by one heir. For example, Zhao Feng is the only grandson of Duke Jerry Evans, who owns the territory and title inheritance rights of this family. After his death, Zhao Feng can also inherit the title of Marquis.

However, this time it was probably due to the great victory of the Emperor* team, Roland III deliberately used the promotion of Jerry Evans' grandson to commend his achievements!

As the only land marshal and first-class duke of the Empire, Jerry Evans has reached the highest glory in his life and is at the peak and cannot go further.

However, his glory can be shared by the family. However, because Jerry Evans's family is rare, although he has made great achievements, countless people have died in battle.

This blood-stained glory fell on Zhao Feng.

Zhao Feng didn't know that at the age of eighteen, he had become the youngest marquis in the history of the empire. As a nobleman of non-royal blood, he was unique in reaching this position at his age.

However, Zhao Feng is not interested in this title or something. For him, this is not as affordable as money or something.

But in the eyes of everyone, this is a real glory!

"Marquis!"

Most of the people here are civilians, and few of them are from nobles. Titles are a very honorable thing for them to shine on the entire family.

Although the Mondra Empire has undergone some reforms, weakened the rights of some nobles, and opened up the purchase of titles. As long as you have money,

The most unsatisfactory baron. However, the concept of status and title rank are still deeply rooted and difficult to change. For example, the reason why many people here hate nobles is also jealous. After all, there is still a big gap in status between nobles and civilians.

Many high-ranking nobles do not intermarry with civilians at all, and they are afraid of affecting their bloodline.

"Congratulations, sir, for being promoted to marquis!" After hearing this news, everyone happily congratulated Zhao Feng and congratulated him.

Zhao Feng frowned and said, "You only see the good side. In fact, there is a very tricky side to this matter. Going to the imperial capital is a very dangerous thing!"

In the letter, Jerry Evans also explained to Zhao Feng that when the entire aristocratic circle in the imperial capital heard the news, they felt very resentful and were very jealous of Zhao Feng.

Some people threatened to give Zhao Feng a little color.

Although Zhao Feng showed a very powerful side in Sunset City, he performed very low-key most of the time after that and did not show much attention, so the people in the imperial capital did not know his strength. Moreover, no matter how good he did outside, the nobles in the imperial capital would not pay attention to it.

Their eyes will always be in the aristocratic circle of the imperial capital. A small matter such as a dog from an aristocratic family in the imperial capital is more worthy of their attention and concern than a turmoil or famine in other places.

In addition, Roger Melada's family also stared at Zhao Feng and was ready to make plans.

The reason why Roger Melada became much more stable during this year was mainly because the war between Mondra and Carlo attracted his attention. Because Jerry Evans had the military power, he could not easily offend the Imperial Marshal at this time, which was a very unwise choice.

During the war, Jerry Evans was the most powerful person in the empire. Even the empire's prime minister could only do logistics for him.

If you offend Jerry Evans, you might lose your life. If you assassinate him, it may also cause kingdom or huge chaos. Roger Melada wants the throne, not to be a minister of the destruction.

In addition, Jerry.

Evans also reminded Zhao Feng to be careful and not be careless, so as not to be injured by the killer sent by the Carlo Empire.

Due to the defeat in the war, there were many extremists in the Carlo Empire, and the responsibility for the defeat was attributed to Jerry Evans. For this reason, they sent many killers to assassinate Jerry Evans.

However, because Jerry Evans has a strong defense and his superb skills, dozens of conspiracies to assassinate him have gone bankrupt.

The angry Carlo declared that he must repay blood with blood to avenge the dead 100,000 soldiers, and let Jerry Evans try the pain of losing his loved ones.

Although this is just a rumor, it is very likely to be a fact. Jerry Evans' attitude towards this matter is rather trusting it than not, and Zhao Feng must be careful. Although this matter in front of him is a huge honor, there are also great dangers behind it.

"I don't want to think so much, let's talk about it after I go! Anyway, I haven't traveled for a long time. This time, I can also take a look at the scenery in other places."

Zhao Feng did not want to slam the enthusiasm of everyone and said, "Don't envy my title. This time I went to the imperial capital and I will help you apply for the title. If nothing unexpected happens, I can get ten to twenty barons."

As the lord of the territory and the marquis of the empire, Zhao Feng could have him enthroned some titles in the territory. Although this title is of the same lowest level, he could at least decorate his storefront.

"Long live!" After hearing this news, Victor, Zauri, Aphra and others were very excited. They valued this title very much.

As for Maria and the Priest Sialis, they didn't care because they served the gods. Bernice had many identities because he was a member of the MIIS and had no concern about this so-called noble title.

The most exciting part of this was the Sand Thief Beris, the Sand Thief who recruited him. He did not expect that in front of the most humble Sand Thief, he would one day have the opportunity to have a title and become a nobleman.

"Okay, don't be excited. I will draw up the list here. In addition to titles, you can also get some official titles. Although I have appointed your position. However, if you go to the imperial capital to report it, it will be recognized nationwide."

Zhao Feng looked at the excited people and shook his head. Then, he and Bernice and the others prepared a detailed list and prepared to send it to the imperial capital for official confirmation.

Seeing that the hard work over the past year has not only received gold coins and food, but also official positions and titles, the people in this territory are full of joy and energy.
