Rise of the Plants

This time, Sophila did not press the sword against Chi Nan, but took it back.

First, he opened the box and handed Chi Nan's new paperwork to him. Once the badges and seals are manufactured, they do not need to be replaced. However, the document needs to be replaced.

On this one, it was not that the previous baron was conferred, but that he suddenly became a second-class earl. At the level of earl, it is already very difficult to move up to the next level. Being able to reach the second level in one step is really confusing. Could it be that the royal family was trying to win over him? Chi Nan thought silently in his heart.

After signing the noble document, Chi Nan put it aside temporarily. If you have any questions, you can ask them later.

At this time, Sophila asked someone to bring over a box, opened it, and found a strange badge inside. This badge is round in shape, with a green cross mark on the surface.

Inside and outside the cross, there were many lines that I couldn't understand. They seemed to be some kind of magic runes, shining with strange light.

"Sophila, the third princess of the Kingdom of Rusiyala, hereby awards the Bronze Cross to the Second Earl of Chinan on behalf of the Kingdom of Rusiyala. I hereby commend the Second Earl of Chinan for his outstanding performance in the battle of Remas. I would like to encourage you.”

With that said, Sophia put the weird medal on Chi Nan's chest with her own hands amid Chi Nan's confused expression. Then he took two steps back and looked at Chi Nan with a smile, admiration in his eyes.

Chi Nan quickly thanked him and then stood up. "Your Highness, Third Princess, what exactly is this badge?"

Sophila said angrily: "We are friends. We had to address each other properly in formal occasions. Now that the business is done, just call me by my name. Don't you regard me as a friend?"

Chi Nan's whole body relaxed a lot. That kind of hierarchical status was really uncomfortable. "Of course Sophira, you have always been my friend." Chi Nan also showed a gentle smile.

But Hermila next to her felt alarm bells ringing in her heart, and she looked at Sophira warily. Sophira is the princess of the kingdom, and she is no worse than herself in every aspect, and her attraction to men must be quite strong. But then Hemila noticed Chi Nan, and thought that this guy was indifferent to her charm, and she felt relieved for some reason in her resentment.

"By the way, Sophie, what exactly is this Bronze Cross?" Chi Nan was very surprised.

The seven witnesses next to him suddenly showed disdain. As the leader put his helmet back on, others also put it on. Wearing a helmet at this time is somewhat rude to Chi Nan.

Sophila glared at these people, but saw that Chi Nan didn't care and didn't say anything.

Putting the topic directly on the medal, Sophila then said: "The Cross Medal is a consistent decision jointly adopted by the Kingdom of Rusiyala and all surrounding kingdoms. It originally originated from the Holy Dragon Empire."

"The Holy Dragon Empire is the empire that makes golden dragons and silver dragons, right?"

"Listen to me, the Cross Medal is awarded to those nobles who have made great contributions to the kingdom. Different from the noble titles and territories, this represents the nobles' contribution to the kingdom and also represents a noble's true status in the empire. Having medals and not having medals are completely different things."

"The Cross of Merit cannot be hereditary, it can only be given to the individual, and no one can take it away, because it is an honor that belongs to a noble individual. And those who have the Cross of Merit can enjoy some preferential rights in all aspects of the empire. You will do this in the future You know, because there are so many, and you learn it after a while.”

Chi Nan asked in surprise: "You just mentioned the Cross Medal. Are there other levels? What level am I at?" Chi Nan was actually thinking about these things.

"It seems that my father's worries are indeed correct. You really know too little about these common senses. These common senses cannot appear even in the wisdom scrolls." Sophila had the urge to cover her head.

"Okay, let me tell you. The so-called Cross Medal is a commendation medal. There are five levels in total. From high to low, they are the Grand Cross Medal, the Gold Cross Medal, the Silver Cross Medal, the Bronze Cross Medal, and The lowest level of the Iron Cross. These medals represent different levels of contribution."

"Originally, you could only get the Iron Cross for your contribution, but recently, the Kingdom of Karimsi next door has been tentatively attacking us. It seems that they want to start a war. Your pneumatic cannon and pea cannon have fired Only when it has a very large deterrent effect that they dare not act rashly, and at the same time greatly increases our strength, can we obtain it."

Chi Nan nodded, so that's it. It seems that the effect of his plants is greater than he thought. It's a pity that plants can't move on their own, otherwise there would be no need to sell them to them.

I have a lot of plant weapons, but I don’t have many things to do with them. In the end, I can only choose to cooperate with others. After all, when the kingdom becomes stronger, you can become stronger, right?

"What about the Grand Cross? How much merit does it take to get it?"

It is so difficult to obtain his own Bronze Cross, and it is really unimaginable for Chi Nan to receive the Grand Cross.

"Since the appearance of the Grand Cross, the Kingdom of Rusiyala has actually only awarded it twice. The first time was to the ancestors of the earliest ducal families who followed their ancestors to conquer the Kingdom of Rusiyala. They received the Grand Cross. Croix de Guerre.”

After a pause, Sophila said hesitantly: "The second time, it was not actually that the royal family really wanted to grant it. It was just that there was a lord who was too powerful at the time and had threatened the rule of the royal family. In order to appease that person, in the end, He was awarded the Grand Cross just to paralyze him.”

Chi Nan did not ask what happened to that person in the end. Looking at how firmly the royal family ruled now, he knew that the nobleman would definitely not end well. This Grand Cross medal is really not easy to obtain.

"But no matter what, the Grand Cross represents the highest honor for a nobleman. If you want to get it, maybe you can save the entire kingdom at a critical moment, that way you can get it."

Chi Nan waved his hand: "Let's forget it. I don't think there will be any danger in the Rusiyala Kingdom."

Hearing this, many people around him smiled. Although the words are not very good, they are nice to say. Especially those knights, their impression of Chi Nan has become much better. At least his three views are very correct.

"I have one more thing to do here this time. This thing is not a reward, but an order from my father himself."
