Brando could barely believe his ears.

"I'm fired? I'm fired?" Brando, who was slumped on the floor, no longer had the strength to lay on the floor of the hotel lobby without any aristocratic demeanor, staring at the ceiling in a daze with unfocused eyes.

After being disqualified as an apprentice by the Royal Family Magic Academy in Stormwind City, he is still a nobleman, but he can only become a laughing stock in the aristocratic circle.

He was not the eldest son in the family, and according to the law of succession of concubines left over from the Stormwind Kingdom and even from the Araso Empire, it was impossible for him to inherit his father's title. Knighthoods for military exploits or climbing to high positions in another way were the only two remaining ways for nobles to climb up.

Stormwind is located in the southern part of the eastern continent of Azeroth, near the western coast, and due north are completely undeveloped mountains. Only the Elwyn Forest, which envelops Stormwind in a half-moon shape to the south and east, is the ideal fiefdom.

It's a pity that thousands of years have passed, and the Elwyn Forest, which is the core area of the Stormwind Kingdom, has long been free of land to carry more nobles. To the southwest of Stormwind is the barren Wild West, further south is the eerie twilight forest of eternal night, and further east is the barren Red Ridge Mountains.

For the pleasure-hungry aristocracy, no matter which direction it is, it is a ghost place where birds don't. Once you have achieved military merit, if you want to become a local nobleman with an actual fief, then you have to divide the feud in these three directions and survive half to death in that bitter cold place.

So knighthood is not a good idea.

It's not easy to climb to a high position. The military is now firmly in the grip of Anindo Lothar, the last bloodline of Soladin the Great, and as one of King Lane's best childhood friends, Lothar's position in the military is completely untouchable by any noble.

It can be said that the military was so strict that the nobles could not even insert a needle.

And the position in terms of internal affairs is completely a turnip and a pit, even if the Brando family wants to praise, they will only praise his eldest brother, and it is impossible for Fam Brando's turn.

It is no exaggeration to say that Brando's status has risen as much as he does now, purely because of his mage qualifications.

Now he was sentenced to death by Old Man Norton.

Do you think Brando will go crazy!?

After a brief moment, the gaze of substance, murderous intent and endless resentment first fell on Old Man Norton, and the next second, Fam Brando cowered and shifted his target, falling on Duke's back.

"Drop, feel the hostility of your nemesis, Fam Brando. Your reputation in the Brando family will always be [mortal enemy]!"

For the prompt of the system elf, Duke snorted lightly and said in his heart: Don't think that the revenge of killing me once is so easy to erase. It just so happens that if you want to kill me, I will kill you too. I don't believe that I can be resurrected, I can't pile up your little Brando family, so let's see who has the last laugh.

Come to think of it, without knowing how to supplement the temperament, oh, human nature, Duke wasted his precious temperament to fight with a little Brando family, such a brainless thing Duke didn't do.

Since he offended Fam Brando to death, and even the hatred has solidified, then there is no need to reconcile God, even if he walks out of the hotel, Duke holds his head high.

The crowd around him whispered as if they were so, Duke couldn't hear clearly, and he didn't care, until he got into the carriage that Old Man Norton had prepared, and he noticed that things had changed a lot.

He slapped Brando twice and did not hear applause and cheers. As the precious son of a local lord, no populace dared to applaud openly. But when the carriage drove by, Duke was stunned to find that many people silently stepped forward, gave him a smile, and handed over all kinds of souvenirs.

A few eggs, a basket of potatoes, or a box of cured meats...... The villagers' thoughts were so simple and simple that Duke's throat choked unconsciously.

Lived for 18 years since birth. Nothing big or bad has been done, and nothing good has been done. Suddenly worshipped as a little hero, Duke's feelings are very subtle.

Just as Duke was about to say something, he suddenly remembered the system's prompt.

"Congratulations, you have received the gratitude of the people of the North County Abbey, and your reputation in the North County Abbey is [Respect]. For unknown reasons, your humanity is slightly restored, and humanity increases by 1%. Your current soul power is 98 and your humanity is 94%. ”

This...... This...... This...... Could it be that if you have done a good deed, you can resume your discipline by gaining the approval of the people?

For a moment, Duke was in a trance. He suddenly thought of a lot. As in games, reputation is a very important thing. I didn't expect that after the crossing, prestige was equally important.

It wasn't until he got into the carriage prepared by Old Man Norton in a little dazed and was bumped that Duke came to his senses.

Hell, the carriage of this era, although it is definitely a luxury for ordinary people, is simply a sin for Duke, a traverser who is used to playing with smooth asphalt roads and comfortable cars with springs.

When I got in the car, the atmosphere changed again. The three apprentices sat obediently across from Old Man Norton, the damned old man who had made a pipe out of nowhere and was spitting smoke rings out of the window in front of the three little ones.

"Little ones, old man, I used to be as young and vigorous as you. As much as I agree with your actions from the bottom of my heart, unfortunately, I have to tell you that you are in serious trouble. ”

The faces of Danielle and Itana next to him suddenly changed. At first, they almost subconsciously stood by Duke's side, but when the excitement passed, fear rose in their hearts.

Offending the nobles, although the status of an apprentice can make them forget about this matter for a while, if they are not promoted to official mages, they and their families will be at risk of being threatened by the nobles.

Old Norton continued, "Duke, it's not you either. In the world of mages, we are all about equivalent exchange. Our Royal Family Magic Academy in Stormwind City is not a Dalaran who simply explores the truth of magic, and we have to charge for every class here. And every necessity for learning magic, every spell you have to learn, you have to pay for it yourself. ”

Speaking of which, Daniel's two faces were already embarrassed.

Duke spoke: "May I ask, how did the apprentices of the Magic Academy deal with them before?"
