Grandmaster Hunter of Age of Mythology

The next morning, heavy snow fell. Kashen took the check for 100 magic coins given by his instructor and exchanged it for a check for 10 million gold coins at the academy bank. Then he happily passed through the teleportation array and headed towards the capital.

This time, he did not bring Silver Wolf. After coming out of the Magic Association, he trotted all the way to Queen's East Avenue, found the palace guards, and asked them to help him make an appointment with Instructor Bayan.

Mentor Bayan was working in the palace, and Kashin was wearing the Medal of Warrior, so the palace guards saluted respectfully and then hurried to the palace to report.

When Teacher Bayan heard that it was Kashen who came, he immediately met him in the side hall, and Kashen entered the palace smoothly.

When the two met and exchanged some greetings, Instructor Bayan asked, "What does Kashin want to talk to me about? Just tell me."

"Nothing. Master Blainey asked her disciples to donate money to the king in my name as military expenses. Due to the complexity of the situation, it is inconvenient for the master to come forward. She hopes that the king will win this battle. She said that the empire can no longer become an ignorant place controlled by the church..."

"Where are the Blayneys? Why aren't they coming?".

"She returned to the Magic Island last night. She said she would raise more military funds to support the king in the war. Since the mentor is not qualified enough to fight in the battlefield, then we can donate money as a contribution."

"Your mentor is such a good child. No wonder the old king values ​​her so much. If it is gold coins, it comes just in time! Come, I'll take you to see the new king and you can donate it to him in person."

"No need. My instructor wants to use this money to help you gain a foothold. I'll just go to the Magic Association and come back. She wants me to be a military officer, but I don't know anything except personal bravery. I really don't need any military officer title!"

Then he took out a check for 10 million gold coins and placed it on the table...

Teacher Bayan widened his eyes and asked, "So much? How much money does your teacher have?"

Kashin: "I don't know about that. My mission is completed, so I'll take my leave now."

"Kashin, come on, take the check and follow me to see the king."

Kashin was dragged by Master Bayan to the harem and entered the study room. At this time, a huge sheepskin military map was spread out in the study room. The king was walking back and forth on the map with a wooden sword in his hand...

The various forces were marked with chess pieces on the map. He walked around repeatedly and thought hard, completely unaware that someone had entered the study.

Kashin: It seems that the king is thinking about war. No wonder the capital has closed its gates. It is clear that it is not ready yet. The mentor is right. The king will definitely go out to fight in the spring...

"Your Majesty, my disciple came to donate money, so I brought him here..."

"Donation? That's new. Let me take a look..."

"Commoner Kashin, meeting my king."

The king walked back to the desk, sat upright, and said with a smile: "Kashin, right? Who is your mentor?"

"Your Majesty, my mentor is Baron Blaney Rossi, a wind magician..."

"I know. Where is your mentor now? I want to see her."

"Your Majesty, my master is missing. He may be practicing somewhere and I have no way of knowing. Here are 10 million gold coins, presented to my King as military expenses. I hope my King can resolve the crisis in the empire and win the battle."

"So many, where did the commoner Kashin get so many gold coins?"

"Your Majesty, my fiancée is the head of the Shi Le family in Shadowmoon City. Her donation to the empire's military expenses is a small contribution." This statement pointed out the source of wealth, and the king believed it without a doubt.

He knew about the Shi Le family, a famous local tycoon. The royal family knew everything about the rift between father and daughter. They didn't care about such things at all. The old patriarch was really evil and deserved to be put to death...

"Okay, the Shi Le family is loyal to the country. I will remember your loyalty. Well done. Hahahaha, my dear Lord Bayan, how should I reward your grandson?"

"When it comes to rewarding people, my king will make the fair decision. I am just a minister, how can I make decisions for the king? My king, please decide on the reward! It is a grace anyway."

"The road to Shadowmoon City is blocked now, and only the magician's teleportation array can allow people to come and go freely! Give him a virtual title first, and we can talk about the reward from the Shi Le family later, how about it?"

"I think it's appropriate. This move will be announced to the world, and wealthy businessmen from all over the country will donate enthusiastically, setting an example for the subjects to be loyal to Your Majesty!"

"Haha, that's exactly what I meant! I want to use your grandson to set an example in the business world, and it's also to give face to Lord Bayan. I will grant Kashin the title of honorary baron and a surname. After your own consideration, report to the Ministry of Rites to complete the legal procedures for the surname and announce it to the world."

"Your Majesty, now the roads are blocked and the government orders are not implemented. It is impossible to announce my surname to the world. I can only announce it when the world is pacified. The Ministry of Rites can only keep a file to show my legal surname. So let your disciples thank you! The empire is in trouble now and there are no good rewards!"

Kashin didn't care. He didn't expect any reward with the money given by his mentor. Now he was awarded an honorary baron, which was the basic treatment of a magician. Maybe the king mistakenly thought he was a magic apprentice and a future magician, so he rewarded him like this.

"Thank you, Your Majesty. I am very satisfied and qualified to have a surname. It is a great honor. I am one step closer to freedom."

The king smiled and said, "My dear Lord Kashen, how is the Shadowmoon City doing now?"

"Your Majesty, we will close the city and mobilize the elite mercenary association to defend the city. The Shi Le family will provide material support and will never allow the church to revive. The entire city is loyal to your Majesty."

"Okay, that's great. The Northwest is being held by Shadowmoon City, and I am in a very good mood! It is worthy of being a directly-administered city, and it is trustworthy."

Kashin said: "Shadowmoon City was massacred by the church in the Mercenary Association. Later, the entire church branch was massacred by mercenaries, and the archbishop was assassinated... The church suffered such a great humiliation and will definitely take revenge. Even if Shadowmoon City surrenders, how can it have a good ending? Therefore, the only way out is to resist to the end. We can only rely on His Majesty's heavenly soldiers to rescue us. There is no other choice..."

"Well said, only by holding our ground can we survive. I am determined to suppress the rebellion. I hope Shadow Moon City can hold on. I will send troops to suppress the bandits. This is also the time for the Shi Le family to make achievements. On the day of pacification, I will definitely reward the Shi Le family handsomely."

Kashin: "Your Majesty, my fiancée thinks the surname Shi Le is too dirty and she really wants to change it. Please change Shi Le's surname for me and let my fiancée use the new surname."

The king nodded and said, "Stide Schle is said to be a puppet of the church and is full of evil. Your fiancée's act of killing her own father for the sake of justice was acquiesced by your grandfather after he learned about the situation, otherwise (the act of killing her father is high treason) she would be punished severely. An illegitimate daughter killed her own father and wiped out his entire family. What a terrible impact on the aristocratic order. However, there are reasons for this, so your grandfather pretended not to know, did not publicize it, and did not allow court officials to discuss this matter. Now it seems that the Shi Le surname, which is full of evil, should be abolished."

After weighing the pros and cons, the king did not allow Tan Aili to take a new surname. Instead, he used a fallen noble surname for Tan Aili and completely eliminated the Shi Le surname.

I took out the latest national surname comparison table and chose a family surname - Sheld.

"Sheld is going to change the surname of the Shi Le family. All the totems and seals are ready. Ask the Ministry of Rites to register it immediately and complete all the legal procedures. You go to Shadowmoon City and let your fiancée legally change her surname."

"Thank you, Your Majesty. My fiancée will surely be filled with gratitude. My king is wise!"

Kashin stayed in the capital to complete the legal procedures for the Sheld surname, helping Tan Aili to put her mind at ease.

I have also been awarded the title of honorary baron, which is much more valuable than a military officer, so I'd better let my teacher Bayan choose a nice surname. One thing is one thing, having your own surname will show your status, and Kashin has no surname now, so I always feel that it is not justified.
