What is the purpose of bringing down the boss?

Fame!Equipment!Achievement!

Even now that Duke has crossed over and truly entered the world of Azeroth, he still can't extinguish his player's heart.

The artifact has long been more than just a powerful piece of equipment, it has been sublimated into a spirit of faith.

A seemingly arrogant thought uncontrollably welled up in Duke's heart: kill Medivan, possessed by Sargeras, and rob Etiyès!

Thinking of the wonderful feel of that artifact staff, and thinking of the shocking anti-heaven mana bonus, Duke's heart couldn't calm down at all.

"Whew-" Duke let out a cloudy breath.

Beside him, Elizabeth Jones and Old Master Norton, who had been invited to join him, all had expressions of concern.

"Are you alright?" they said in unison.

Duke knew that they weren't asking about him, they were asking about his relationship with Medivan.

"It's going to be fine. Duke's affirmative tone gave them confidence.

Completely ignoring the gloating eyes of some of the nobles, Duke strode into the banquet hall with Norton and Jones, led by the attendants.

After today, there will most likely be various interpretations of this in the aristocratic circle. Duke had no interest in those political games. For a group of doomed and unlucky guys, Duke almost ignored them, and just silently let the system elves jot down all kinds of information about them.

The sumptuous ballroom, slightly larger than a football field, is not only resplendent in gold, but also full of beautiful murals on the tall sky. It is in this form of art that human beings record civilization and history.

On the huge dome fresco, Duke saw the Seven Kingdoms of Humanity, the High Elves of Quel'Thalas, the Dwarven Ironforge, and the Emperor Soladin defeating the Troll Empire.

Duke was so fascinated by the frescoes that he was so impressed by the Miss Jones beside him.

"Yo, my Lord Aquaman. The New Year's banquet is a very important gathering of nobles, and although I know that you are a mage, it is beneficial for me and you to expand our business with you by dealing with them well. I beg you, for your mage's sake, at least follow me to meet a few of the most important nobles. ”

It's an open secret that Duke makes money to build the Mage Tower, and because of this perfect excuse, the neutral nobles have a lot less to do with Duke. With Jones, a figure who is very popular among aristocratic ladies, the way has been opened, and the perfume has become a hot seller.

But Duke shook his head at Jones, leaned over and said, "There's something earth-shattering happening tonight." I suggest you put away your mind about promoting your business first. ”

Jones's body stiffened.

Even after so many months of happy cooperation, she still couldn't understand what this half-grown young man was thinking. His mind is beyond the mundane, and his gaze always seems to fall outside the imagination of the world.

Ms. Jones didn't dare to disobey Duke, after all, Duke was almost her boss, and ninety percent of her business was related to Duke.

At this time, the messenger announced, "King Lane and his wife have arrived—"

Lane, dressed in a bright golden dress, took the hand of the beautiful queen, took his two sons and daughters, and walked into the venue proudly under the opening of the way by the guards.

On the high platform that had been prepared long ago, the bright light of the huge candelabra allowed everyone to clearly see the details of every gold ornament on King Lane's body.

Ryan was in a good mood when things were going on in the kingdom and his friend Madivan was back. Everyone can feel the king's spring breeze.

"Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to this place. I, Ryan Ureon, am pleased to be here to host the New Year's party. In the past year, the whole kingdom has been in good weather, and the people are living a better life than ever. ”

"Here, I would like to make a grand introduction to you and thank a young man. He is the new member of our Royal Mage Order, the new Earth Mage, the master of the Pearl Route, the sponsor of the new Stormhaven, and the sponsor of the Stormwind Kingdom's naval vessels - Duke Marcus!"

"Mr. Marcus, please come to the stage. ”

Ryan spread his palm and pointed at Duke with one hand.

Duke was also a little stunned, he didn't expect that Ryan would introduce him to the entire aristocracy so ceremoniously. This is definitely the king's favor.

Suddenly becoming the center of everyone's attention, Duke was also a little flattered, and his mouth opened slightly, showing the nervousness in his heart.

"Don't be nervous, young man, you deserve it. Anduin Lothar came to Duke at some point, patted Duke on the shoulder, and encouraged him to go on stage.

After Duke came to his senses, the cunning Anduin whispered, "I openly support you for the sake of the walls. ”

Duke couldn't laugh or cry.

Lothar! Can you be so snobbish! Are you thinking about how to suck blood from me next year?

In the midst of all the anticipation, Duke came to power. King Ryan smiled heartily at Duke, patted Duke on the shoulder kindly, and then slowly drew his saber with the golden golden sword of an eagle's wings.

"Kneel, young man. ”

Kneel down?

Duke didn't react at all.

Lothar, who was still following Duke's side, was alert and whispered: "Your Majesty wants to knight you, if you want to refuse, you can not kneel." ”

Uh, is this a raid on me?

I have crossed into this world and can't go back, either I fit into this world or I am rejected by this world, there is no third way.

Okay, it's a knighthood, kneel and kneel.

After a brief pause, Duke decided to get down on one knee.

King Ryan was satisfied, his half-squinted eyes were full of smiles, and he brandished his ornate sword, which clicked on Duke's left and right shoulders like a dragonfly, and a little on each side of the blade.

"Duke Marcus, I don't care where you come from, but since you are willing to serve the Stormwind Kingdom and sacrifice your courage and wisdom for the benefit of the people of the kingdom, for the sake of the smiling faces of the people, I will knight you! ”

Ryan's remarks made Duke very comfortable.

"I, Duke Marcus, would like to serve the people of Storm. "No one noticed, Duke cleverly followed Ryan's words, avoiding the words 'kingdom' and 'king', and he was only talking about serving the people.

Ryan was happy: "Sir Marcus, it's not like I mean to squeeze you. But life for the people of the kingdom is still difficult, and I hope you will have a better year to come. ”

"I will. Duke stood up.

He could really feel the envy and jealousy from all directions.

Being knighted as a commoner is often promoted from the knightly class only if he has made great achievements. And Duke completely crossed the entire knightly class and went directly into the realm of true nobility.

This is inseparable from his disguised expansion of territory with the Storm Kingdom.
