Chapter 130 Title of Nobility

Benjamin knew that Rubens didn't like nonsense, so he swallowed back the words that he wanted him to sleep and rest at this moment, just nodded and said: Then I... will arrange the carriage later.

What? Have something to say?

Rubens heard his overtones and stopped.

There are some. Benjamin reached out his hand to stroke the sparse beard around his mouth, and said in a low voice, I probably know the identity of the shooter...

So fast?

The governor raised his eyebrows in surprise. Speaking of which, he sent people to start an investigation almost immediately after the battle, but after such a scuffle to track down a shooter hiding in the dark, for the single-handed temple guards It was really looking for a needle in a haystack, so Rubens didn't have too much expectation—but at this time, hearing what Benjamin said, his eyes lit up first, and then he thought of some reasons, and frowned slightly: Is this People... have something to do with you?

Both of them are old foxes, their brains are quick, and they rarely hide anything in their words. Benjamin smiled wryly, and said helplessly: It is indeed related, but... well, I really don't know where to put my old face when I say it—— It actually helped me a lot…”

Rubens became interested and was about to listen carefully when a priest hurried over from the church and saluted in a low voice: My lord, my lord, there is a knight outside the monastery who wants to visit— —he said his name was Titus...

Knight Titus?

The two old men looked at each other and understood what the knight's arrival represented.

On the other side of the monastery, Sally's condition didn't look good.

Although Francis' threat was resolved, but killing his own brother... This kind of thing is definitely not something that can be forgotten after waking up. Although her mind has long matured to the point where she can kill decisively, what really annoys Sally is not the act of killing itself...but the tormenting psychological burden in her heart after doing it.

The blood-stained crimson robe has been replaced, but it seems that the strong smell of blood can still be smelled in the breath. Sally had a very long night. When she closed her eyes, Francis's shattered head always appeared in front of her eyes. When she opened her eyes, the oppressive darkness made her feel even more suffocated.

After staying up all night like this, the tense and exhausted Sally's face was extremely pale at this time, but she was strong after all, and she did not collapse or cry because of it. When the sky was bright, Sally tidied up hastily, got up and went to the bishop to explain that she wanted to go back to the mansion, but just as she opened the door, she ran into Chris who came to look for her...

Knight Titus looking for me?

Hearing the purpose of Chris's visit, Sally was a little puzzled, but suddenly realized.

Okay, I'll go now.

Although the tone of her mouth was calm, Sally's complexion was extremely bad at this time, and her haggard look made people feel distressed. Chris accompanied her to the church with worry——from a distance, Sally saw the girl who was so beautiful. The ordinary man was taller than the knight Titus, who was waving at him from a long distance, with a smile on his face, and his simple and honest appearance was no different from the young knight he had seen a few years ago.

Sally smiled reluctantly, and was about to say hello, but then her footsteps froze for a moment—because she saw that in addition to Bishop Benjamin, Bishop Rubens was standing beside Knight Titus, with a warm face Looking at himself with a smile.

Such a grand standard made Sally feel a little strange. She walked over to salute one by one, and then heard the conversation between Lord Bishop and Knight Titus:

We will hold the speech again on the 25th, and after the speech, I will return to the 'Holy Temple'. After some polite words, the bishop said what he really wanted to express. ,

So today, if possible, I hope to visit the Duke's mansion at noon and thank the Duke for his help. I also hope that Knight Titus can pass on the news.

Knight Titus scratched the back of his head, and responded somewhat awkwardly.

When the few people agreed, Sally next to her felt very uncomfortable—her father was seriously ill and could no longer think about such a problem. Knight Titus agreed now, but I am afraid that he will send someone to tactfully refuse later. Bar…

After a few formulaic responses, Sally got the dispensation to return to the Duke's Mansion, but she was sitting in the carriage without any excitement or comfort, and just watched the scene flash before her eyes with a numb expression.

Although the threat has been lifted... But at this moment, Sally didn't feel much lightness or comfort in her heart: Even if she returned to the Duke's mansion, what could she do?

In politics, although I am stronger than the average person, I am still just a child. Now I am the only one left to work hard to maintain such a large territory. I am afraid that it will not be long before someone will pay attention to the Luciferon family. Bar?

As for Roddy...

Thinking of this elm lump, Sally could only shake her head helplessly—he couldn't help with the affairs of the territory after all...

The chaotic emotions piled up in her heart, so that Sally didn't even notice that it was no longer the Alpha housekeeper who greeted her in the mansion years ago... She walked to the door of her father's bedroom with increasingly heavy steps, and when she looked at the man sitting When I saw the silhouette on the armchair, the unspeakable oppressive feeling in my heart became clearer...

If this continues, what should I do? Who is in charge of the government affairs of the territory? How to explain it at the monastery? Is it true to be a priest for the rest of your life?

Father, I'm back.

As in the past, Sally said this greeting to Angmar in a slightly hoarse voice - for a long time, Sally hoped that her father who had lost consciousness would respond once, but in the past five years, she finally did I gave up waiting in disappointment after disappointment.

Saying this sentence now... it's just Sally's habit. After she finished speaking, she continued to walk forward without expecting any reply at all—but...

Welcome home, kid.

kindness…

The response coming from in front of her made her respond instinctively, but because her mind was in a mess, Sally didn't even notice that there was anything abnormal in this situation at the first time——she didn't stop suddenly until she took two steps He stepped forward, then raised his head, and stared at the front...

Her body trembled slightly, and her already extremely pale cheeks were completely as white as paper.

In the field of vision, the Duke of Angmar, who was originally facing the fireplace, slowly turned his head. The expressionless face in his impression now had a familiar smile, and his pupils shone with a deep light.

Angmar blinked and said softly, Why, you don't recognize me?

Father - father?!

Sally stood there with her mouth wide open, and then finally confirmed that she was not hallucinating. Her legs seemed to be disobedient and she walked up to her father, staring blankly at the old man who hadn't spoken to her for several years. He opened his mouth to say something, but in the end he threw himself into his father's arms like he did when he was a child... Then he cried out loud.

*****

On the other side, all the scouts in the hotel in the Cambay area have gotten up.

At this time, Rody was waxing the short bowstring, and Suo Deluoer, who was next to him, tightened the buckle of the armguard, and asked casually, What's the next arrangement?

Stay still and pay attention to the situation at all times. I'll go to the monastery and ask Sally what's going on. Rody blew on the strings. Oil wax is made from animal fat, and the smell is rather pungent, but he really likes the strange smell. Sniffing lightly, he joked: Hey, I suddenly thought... If Sally has inherited the 'Duke' now, it must not be a problem for her to award us a 'Knight'.

Suo Deluo raised his eyebrows, he was very interested in such a topic, and asked, If you are really awarded a knight, where do you want to choose as a fief?

Choose a fief, I don't want to find a place to make a living by collecting rent every day, Rody skipped the strings, thinking about all kinds of dungeon strategies and lists of dropped items, Didn't I say Well, I want to build you into the kingdom's number one knight order—

Well... I believe it.

Soderol rolled his eyes, but was immediately kicked by Roddy—Don't always think I'm talking nonsense! By the way, if you really catch up with the award, you can become a knight, so that Katrugg and the others can Follow you to the fief to continue training.

How do you say that? Soderol raised his eyebrows and asked in confusion, I'm here to be a knight? Then what are you doing?

I have my reasons, and you will know later.

While speaking, Rody opened the experience column and looked at it, but he didn't explain anything.

Speaking of which, what Rody was thinking at this time was actually the title related to the title of nobility.

In the game, players after level 10 generally start to obtain titles, and there are various ways to obtain them. At the same time, they can choose to activate a title to obtain additional attributes or skills for themselves. The cooling time is 24 hours.

This sounds similar to battle stance, but it's actually not the same thing at all.

The additional effects brought by the battle stance are basically linked to the skills of one's own profession, while the title is a completely different matter. Some bring attributes, and some bring halos. In short, there are various effects There are, but they are not linked to professional skills themselves.

When we talked about awarding knights just now, Rody didn't mean to be modest and refuse or stand behind the scenes to be some kind of black hand. His idea was very simple: the passive conferring title of nobility is not as good as the active pioneering aristocrat The additional effect of the title is powerful, so he is determined to be a nobleman who occupies the land of no man and obtains the title, rather than the knight title obtained by being honored at this time.

I'm done with things here, I might need to go to the Silent Whispering Forest.

Rody thought about the plan in his mind, and arranged: As for whether you will go back to Nolan Village or where, I can't decide, but what I can confirm is that the treatment should not be bad.

Go to the Silent Whispering Forest? Do you need our help?

Soderol was a little puzzled, but didn't ask why.

Rody naturally knew that the advanced task must be completed by himself, he shook his head and said: It may take a while to walk alone, so I have to sell those broken crystals in Kig Town or somewhere, and the funds in exchange should be It’s enough for you to train for a while, don’t stop, do it every day.”

Soderol nodded, but then he heard Rody ask: Before you said that you were almost at the bottleneck?

PS: Here is another setting modification. It was said that 3 titles can be activated at the same time, but here it has been modified to 1. I will make corresponding adjustments in the previous article. As for the title, it can be understood as a self-imposed BUFF that can be actively selected. More than 10,000 words have been deleted from the saved manuscript, so there is no way to update it twice recently, I hope everyone understands!
