Chapter 703: Escape from the Colosseum (15)
"Master Cruise, the reason why I came to you for this matter is not to ask you to help us unconditionally, but to negotiate a deal with you, a sale, if you help us achieve what we want, we will also give you a very generous reward, I believe that after you listen to my thank you gift, you will not refuse my request!" July said unhurriedly, with confidence in his tone. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
"Oh, what good can you give me? money, I'm not short of money!" said Master Cruise with a sneer.
Although he loves money, he is in fact so rich that unless July can give him a gold mine, no request will impress him.
"An opportunity to become a nobleman, would you turn it down?" said July with a smile.
In this world, the nobility and the non-aristocracy are like a chasm, separating the people on both sides.
Lord Cruise is a commoner, and this cannot be changed even if he has more money, and the gap between nobles and commoners is as insurmountable as the gap between commoners and slaves.
"The identity of the nobleman, how can you give it?" Lord Cruise was obviously impressed, he was not short of money, but naturally he was famous, and the condition of July directly poked at his weakness, which made Lord Cruise unable to say no words of refusal, you must know that he could dream of becoming a nobleman!
"Yes, you must know that my brother and I belong to the Christie family, and the Christie family is one of the oldest nobles in the whole road, and the surname of such a family is like a piece of gold, and now this gold is in front of you, but I don't know if you are willing to take the trouble to pick it up. July said, and then seeing the expectant look on Lord Cruise's face, July continued, "If it was before, then I couldn't help you become a nobleman, but now there are only two people left in the Christie family, my brother and me, as long as we say that you are a member of our family and recorded in the family tree, no one will refute it, we are mutually beneficial, why not!"
July's words are like a tempting pie to Lord Cruise, knowing that if he refuses, it means that his descendants can only be a commoner for generations. And if he agrees, he, including his children, will become a nobleman. And he is a nobleman with an ancient surname like Christie, which makes him really unable to refuse, you must know that he has spent a lot of time and money in order to become a nobleman over the years, but no matter how hard he tries, he has not been able to get what he wants.
There is a point in everyone's heart that will make you faint, and Lord Cruise's point is exactly this one, so the always shrewd Lord Cruise accepted July's quid pro quo without any resistance.
It was a tough one for July and Bol, but it was easy for Lord Cruise. Money is not everything, but at some point, it is a good use.
Lord Cruise bribed the eunuchs around the queen, and then gave the queen a lot of jewels, so that the queen could say a few kind words in front of the king.
The queen was overjoyed to see the jewels, and the request was not difficult for her, so she looked for an opportunity to bring up the matter of July and Pol once more.
It's not that the king didn't want to agree to this request, but at that time he wanted to think about it when he returned to the palace, but when he returned to the palace, he was seduced by a few beautiful slave girls, so he forgot about it.
Since the queen interceded, the king agreed, but although he gave back the surnames and status of July and Pol, the money and property of the Christie family would not be returned to them, but even so, it was enough for July and Pol.
July and Pol became nobles, which is a step up to the sky for a slave, a nobleman wants to kill a slave without any reason, even July and Pol are still penniless, but as long as they have this surname, it is a glittering signboard, which is too important for Pol and July's plan.
July and Pol are going to leave the royal capital and return to Mito after restoring their surnames, and before leaving, they and Lord Cruise went to the place where they ascended the throne and registered, because there were two of them from the Christie family to testify, so Lord Cruise finally became the household registration of the nobles, and Lord Cruise will be called Lord Cruise Christie in the future, and Lord Cruise has no pressure at all to abandon his previous surname and switch to another surname.
July and Pol set out on their way back to Mito, and for the first time after so many years of absence, Pol returned to his hometown, and Pol was both excited and sad to see the ruined Christie family's castle.
Although the two of them came back and also resumed their status as nobles, the first problem they encountered arose that they had no money, and no matter what they wanted to do, they would need money to do it in the future.
"Doesn't the Christie family have any wealth left?" asked July curiously.
Pol shook his head and said, "I don't know, I was young at the time, I just remember that one day someone broke into our house, our father and mother were taken and beheaded, we were supposed to be killed, but the man who captured us was greedy for money, so he sold us to slave traders, and after several rounds we were sent to the gladiatorial arena, as for whether there is money left in the family, I don't know." ”
"Oh, that's it!" July nodded, and then said, "Actually, this is easy to do, even if we don't have any money left, we can let out the news that we have inherited the treasure of the Christie family, as long as we have this surname, no one will not believe it." ”
July and Pol also have a lot of savings over the years, although this savings are not worth mentioning in the eyes of the real nobles, but it is okay to fool people.
July and Pol booked two rooms in the largest tavern in the city, and changed Pol into very decent clothes and gems and ornaments that he bought before, and after July released the news, the whole city was stunned, you must know that Christie has been entrenched in Mito for many years, and his status is even higher than that of the royal family, and everyone still worships Christie's surname very much.
Some of the rich people in Mito heard the news, and thought that this was a good opportunity to make friends, so they hurried to come, and were even more shocked after seeing Pol's magnificence, and there was no need for Pol to talk about money, and this group of people had already presented all kinds of gold, silver and jewelry.
