Chapter 134: Invitation

Hearing the words "honored nobles", everyone was stunned, and then the atmosphere suddenly became much more solemn.

If you want to say what the nobles hate the most, then the honored nobles are definitely the first to bear the brunt, even if it is the cultists who plunder babies and the devils who kill, in the eyes of the nobles, there are no hateful of these honored nobles.

What made these nobles most dissatisfied was the aristocratic status of the "Honored Noble", and if the Templar Order had a knight, they would not react so much, but it was the nobles who made them very unhappy. The reason for this is simple: the Templar's Honored Nobles are awarded to heroes who have made outstanding contributions, many of whom are of noble birth, but most of them are vulgar in character. After all, you can't expect a person who fights the demon king to die and rolls in the pile of corpses has good etiquette, and even some of the nobles themselves are mercenaries or thieves or something, how good etiquette and civilization can you expect these commoners to have?

If this were the case, then the nobles would not have had much of a headache, but the problem was that the status of the nobles was quite noble, and in the temple system it represented the sword-wielding priest -- the same class as the bishop. What nobleman do you see is not respectful to those cardinals? Because of this, although they are nobles, to be honest, real nobles must also maintain a considerable etiquette when they see the nobles who have been awarded.

This is the part that makes those "real nobles" grit their teeth with hatred, knowing that even their nobility is only common in their own country, and it is not unusual to put it in other countries -- just like Earl Pawood is also a prince, but if he goes to the Holy Kingdom of Seth, he has to behave in a proper manner in front of a viscount.

However, the status of the nobles who were awarded was limited by the whole continent. Of course, this is an exaggeration, but at least in all places where the Templar Order rules. There will be no change in their aristocratic treatment. Even in front of the indifferent elves.

That's not fair, isn't it? Aristocracy is a representative of elegance and wisdom. And not the symbols that those country savages use to show off their status. Can you imagine what it would be like when those nobles with fine clothes and good manners mixed with a vulgar and greedy man, and proudly showing off to the stinky woman next to him, "Look, now we are also a noble lord, hahahaha"?

This is one of the reasons why the nobles mostly dislike the nobles who have been honored, in their opinion, those people do not deserve to be nobles at all, they can be heroes, they can be demon kings. You can even be a paladin, but you just can't be a nobleman!

If they could, the nobles might band together to force the Templar to give in, and perhaps a holy war would ensue. But it's a pity that they don't have the guts, so they have to pinch their noses and bear it. Luckily, the Templar Order will not overturn the ruling system since the establishment of a state on the mainland, so the Order's honored nobles are also extremely rare, and the number of pandas is even smaller.

If this is just a matter of "face", then another reason for the aristocracy to hate "honored nobles" is more practical.

As mentioned earlier, the Templar Order is dedicated to protecting justice. It was deliberately made not to let the hero "shed blood and tears". Moreover, they have sacred immunity, which means that no matter what the nobles do in other countries, the local law enforcement agencies have no right to arrest them, and can only submit them to the Holy Inquisition for collegiality.

And then the problem becomes. Excavator......... Forget it, it's not this.

Politics are inherently dirty things, and the nobles are certainly no exception. From tax evasion to human trafficking. Many of these things are simply the natural skills of the aristocracy. But in this way, in front of the honored nobles. They're miserable. The other party can kill them on the grounds of human trafficking, teach these nobles a hard lesson, and maybe kill a few people. But these nobles had no way to fight back, it was useless to use normal means, and the immunity of the nobles allowed him to avoid punishment.

But what if you go to the Holy Inquisition?

If someone asks you why you were attacked, how would you answer? There are many magic techniques used to detect lies, if you dare to tell the truth, you will be guilty and deserved, if you tell lies, you will deceive the Holy Inquisition, and when the time comes, you will lose your wife and soldiers, and you will really not be able to get any good at all.

It is precisely because of this that the average nobles with real power are reluctant to provoke the nobles who have been honored. Of course, they are not completely out of the question, for example, they have also tried to win over and lure those honored nobles to do things that they can't do by themselves with their special status. But fortunately, heroes who can obtain the glory of being honored by nobles are generally very conscious, and they will not be in the same boat. Of course, there will be a few scum once in a while, but the Holy Inquisition of the Templar Order is naturally not a dry meal............

Because of this, after learning that the other party was a nobleman, the people who were still clamoring to give the bastard who didn't know the height of the sky a little bit of hardship suddenly became dumbfounded, and they looked at each other, not knowing what to do at all.

It was only a moment later that the silence was broken by old Sir Pawood.

"So, do you have any good ideas? Deli? ”

"Yes, Father."

Hearing her father's inquiry, the girl nodded.

"If you allow me, I want to touch the bottom of the other party, after all, there has never been a nobleman in the Eagle Plateau, and this person must have come from another place. We have to figure out what he's doing here, and if it's just a stop-by, then we just have to act as if nothing happened............"

At this, Dai Li paused, although her words were not finished, none of the people present were fools, and obviously understood what she meant by the second half of the sentence that she did not say.

If the other party did not pass by, but planned to live here permanently, then the good life of the Pawood family would be over.

Of course, if done right, it's not impossible for a bad thing to turn into a good thing.

"This ..............."

Sir Pawood was a little worried about his daughter's suggestion, after all, the other party didn't seem to take him seriously at all. Deli is the jewel of his palm, and if something happens, it will be in trouble. However, the other party's intention did worry him............ Ultimately. Old Pawood nodded.

"All right, Deli. Let you represent our Pawood family and see what the other party wants to do. ”

Jenn didn't know anything about the Pawood family's troubles, or even if he did, he wouldn't care at all. At this moment, he was in Blake's mansion, drinking afternoon tea with Miss Lygia.

"Thank you for your help, Mr. Jenn."

Facing Jenn, Lycia's smile was a little helpless and stiff, on the one hand, she was indeed grateful to the other party for helping her get rid of those scoundrels, and on the other hand, Lycia was more or less worried. She had hoped that Cotton would come back and deal with those things. But after learning the news that her husband had died in battle, Lygia's brain was also at a loss, and she didn't know what to do next.

"It's nothing, Mrs. Black, if you want to deal with these wicked little, you'll have to be tougher than them to be effective."

Putting down the teacup in his hand, Jenn smiled softly at Lygia.

"I beg my pardon for taking the liberty of what's next for Mrs. Black?"

"I ..............."

Hearing Jenn's inquiry, Lygia was stunned. Then he lowered his eyes, and for a moment he didn't know what to say. She was also the daughter of a merchant, and her parents died young, but fortunately his parents had some friendship with Old Black. That's why she was able to marry Cotton, and Lizia had already made up her mind to be a good wife, as long as she could live a peaceful life, it was enough. But I didn't expect the world to be unpredictable. Now that Cotton is dead, what do you do? Although the temple entrusted Mr. Jenn to give him some monetary compensation. But if she is a weak woman, what can she do even if she is rich?

"I......... I don't know ............ either."

At this moment, Lycia only felt that her future was a fog that had been dissipated. Completely lost direction. Without Cotton, she felt like a ship without its rudder, able to go with the flow, but unable to maintain its own direction. Thinking of the newlywed Yan'er, I once thought that I would have a good life in the future. But I didn't expect fate to play tricks on me like this, and after a short period of sweetness, it brought me endless pain. What did you do? To be punished like this?

Thinking of this, Lycia couldn't help but feel a little sad, but she still hurriedly suppressed the inexplicable melancholy in her heart and showed a wry smile at Jenn.

"What about Mr. Jenn? What are you doing in Passus this time? ”

Hearing Lygia's inquiry, Jenn thought for a moment, and the next moment, he spoke again with a soft smile.

"Actually, I'm going to stay in Passus for a while."

"Huh?"

Hearing this, Lycia couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, although she had expected many answers, Jenn's answer was still unexpected by her.

"That's right."

Perceiving the doubt in Lygia's eyes, Jenn was quick to explain.

"Actually, like Mr. Cotton, I was originally a down-and-out aristocrat."

"Hey............? You're ............... too."

Hearing this, Ligia's expression suddenly became much more exciting, she didn't expect that this young man would still have such a connection with her husband.

"Yes, like Mr. Cotton, I joined the expedition in search of wealth and glory at the call of the Temple. That's why I met Mr. Cotton. ”

Faced with Lygia's curious gaze, Jenn began to perform again. Anyway, his origin is not difficult to check, as long as anyone has a heart can find out his experience, so he will not hide anything in this regard.

Sometimes, the truth itself is the best lie.

"Because we have similar backgrounds and goals, Mr. Cotton and I quickly become familiar with each other and become comrades in arms who share life and death. It's a pity that Mr. Cotton didn't make it to the end..............."

At this point, Jenn was silent for a moment, striking a just right balance between grief and regret, and then continued.

“……… I once learned about the majestic beauty of Eagle Plateau from Mr. Cotton and I always wanted to see it with my own eyes. This time, in addition to fulfilling Mr. Cotton's last wish, I also wanted to stay here for a while and enjoy the beautiful scenery of the Eagle Plateau. ”

Hearing Jenn's words, Lycia's eyes lit up, and then she hesitated, and then Ai Ai raised her head, looked at Jenn and spoke.

"So, then......... Mr. Jenn, what do you think of Black Manor? If you don't mind, how about staying here? ”

Jenn smiled at Lygia's invitation, and then he reached out and pushed down his glasses, a cold light flashing through his eyes.

"It's an honor, Mrs. Black." (To be continued......)
