Chapter 39: Behind the Doubts
The next day, Viscount Harlan gathered a group of people and announced something in person.
Because of Roque's outstanding talent and rapid increase in strength, he was unanimously recognized by Knight Larry, Knight Leo and the lord, and he was specially granted the title of Lord.
As soon as these words came out, everyone in front of the inner castle was in an uproar.
You know, to be awarded a title by a lord, either a powerful knight or a great contribution to the territory.
It is rare to obtain a knighthood by talent. Unless it is a super genius, it will inevitably become a knight's genius.
Rock was given a title and a red-striped sword, indicating---
Gollum!
Thinking of this, many people couldn't help swallowing.
Houses, shops, manors, servants, livestock, castle pass orders, the right to dispatch small guards, the right to inspect the Redstone Territory---
A series of rewards, even Rock himself did not remember all, in short, there are many.
After the announcement, he became a true nobleman, and his title of nobility existed as long as the Redstone Territory existed, although it could not be passed on to future generations.
What he likes most is the castle pass token. With it, he can freely enter and exit the castle without having to hide in the castle.
In fact, the knights are already strong on one side. With their strong physical fitness and fighting spirit, it is difficult for the mere city walls to be trapped. It is better to give a pass.
There is no need to worry about others killing Rock. As a knight, he has a strong self-protection ability, and he can still run if he is beaten.
After the Viscount left, there were two people who attracted much attention, one was Lord Rock and the other was Ales.
The day before, Arles had so many people who wanted to see Rock's jokes. At this moment, all of them fulfilled him. Many people secretly looked at him and wanted to see his reaction.
Bastard, genius genius, genius again, I hate genius the most in my life! One Charlie doesn't count, another Rock, it's endless--
Returning to his house as if he had fled, Ales roared and fell when he saw something.
You said, am I a genius? After a while of madness, he finally calmed down, staring at the servant hiding on the side with wolf-like eyes.
How dare the servant not answer.
Master, you must be a super genius---
There was a whip in front of him, and the manservant grinned, and he could only kneel down and beg for mercy.
...
Red Rock Town.
For the first time, Roque really stepped into this small town. He used to pass by, and by his side was Ms. Stasi.
Because the Banbora family has been in business for many years and has a good reputation, although the prosperity of Red Rock Town is not as prosperous as Carris City, it is in the forefront of the seven nearby territories, and there are many caravans on the streets.
Madam Stasi's face was flushed, her mind was completely off the surrounding streets.
Early this morning, she saw the guard Bert again, was invited to the castle, and witnessed her son becoming a nobleman with her own eyes. Her excitement has not yet eased.
Rock, I'm not dreaming, am I?
Do you need me to verify it for you?
Hearing her words, Rock spread his slap and glanced at the back of her head.
Ms. Stasi glared at her son, raised her palm habitually, thinking that her son is now a decent nobleman, and withdrew her hand regretfully.
From the time I sent you to learn writing and swordsmanship, I've been thinking how great it would be if my Rock became a noble---
I didn't expect that your mother didn't tell you that you were so proud that you became a lord yourself. In the future, see who dares to look down on us, dare to abandon us, dare to drive us out of the house—”
Entering his own yard, Stasi couldn't bear it any longer. He took his son's hand and said what was in his heart.
At this moment, she felt that all her years of grievances were worth it.
From her words, it is not difficult to realize how much she suffered in those days,
Every time she said a word, Roque remembered one in his heart.
Ms. Stasi may not know that her son has gathered the names exposed in her words into a small notebook.
When her mood calmed down, she hurried into the kitchen to prepare a big meal to celebrate for her son.
Rock looked at his small courtyard.
Susan, what's the matter? Susan stood on the side, hesitated for a while, and seemed not to make up her mind. Rock had a keen hearing and had already spotted her.
Young---Master Rock, I heard the rumors before, which made Mrs.--- Hearing his words, Susan walked over quickly, fell to her knees, and told her crime.
Because Roque became a nobleman, she was very scared, and her body kept shaking when she spoke, but she didn't dare to hide it.
He asked carefully, and after hearing Susan's answer, Roque knew that something else happened yesterday.
Hehe, what a good Alex, since you are so capable, don't blame me for being too ruthless. Roque sneered, his eyes cold.
But Susan was so frightened that she threw herself on the ground, knocking her head on the ground.
...
In the afternoon, at the request of the Viscount, Roque returned to the castle very early, attended the celebration banquet prepared by the Viscount, and met some people.
In the evening, the Viscount asked Roque to be summoned, ready to have a secret talk with him.
In the study, there were only Roque and Viscount Harlan.
With your cleverness, there must be many questions, just ask! Viscount Harlan said directly. At this time, he was sitting under the orange candlelight, and his figure looked a little stooped.
He seemed to be ready for a showdown with Rock.
Why did you let us enter the castle? What do you want? Rock was not polite, and asked the question he wanted to know most.
The candle light shook slightly, and Viscount Harlan was silent for more than ten seconds.
This lord has only one purpose, to protect the family's foundation for thousands of years. For this, he is willing to give everything. His words were shocking.
It's about wizards?
Yes, nobles are descendants of wizards, and the blood of wizards flows in their bodies.
I've seen it in the Noble Chapter book, but it doesn't seem to have anything to do with the family business.
It has a lot to do with it. The noble shepherd guards the commoners and controls the territorial rights. It seems to be high above. In fact, behind every noble family, there is a powerful wizard to support---
Hearing Viscount Harlan's remarks, Rock realized that in front of wizards, the true positioning of nobles - the talent selection base for wizards.
The existence of nobles is to serve wizards, which is slightly better than servants.
According to the rules of wizards, the noble family must have a wizard, the baron family corresponds to the fourth-level wizard apprentice, the viscount family corresponds to the fifth-level wizard apprentice, and the earl family corresponds to the official wizard.
Therefore, there must be a fifth-level wizard apprentice in the Banbora family, who must be of the same bloodline, and must be alive.
If not, there is no need for this noble family to exist!
The family originally had two fifth-level wizard apprentices and more than a dozen other wizard apprentices. After two accidents in a row, all of them were gone, and not one was left. At the end, the Viscount couldn't stop his grief, and his face became pale. .
Among the dozens of people, there are his elder brothers, his children, and his grandsons---
When the news came, the blow to the old man could be imagined. For the entire Banbora family, it was a disaster.
He also did not hide Rock, bluntly said that although the wizard is mysterious and powerful, the wizard's path is full of dangers, and a little carelessness will lead to the fate of his relatives.
He made a decision to gather all the bloodlines of the right-age families who were straying outside, and cultivate them with all his strength, in order to increase the chance and increase the chance of a fifth-level wizard apprentice.
Seemingly blind, in fact, in order to make every effort, the family's millennium foundation is more important than everything else.
Your appearance and your talent have given me hope, the hope of preserving the family's heritage! Viscount Harlan raised his head and stared at him with piercing eyes.
Wizard talent? I haven't tested it. Rock didn't believe it.
No, it's a quality to become a strong man, your intelligence, prudence, hard work, and fighting spirit---
So, as Arles said, dark wizards are not allowed to have talents, right? They can make people mutate and demonize the so-called wizard talents!
Rock interrupted him rashly, staring at Viscount Harlan unto be outdone, and the atmosphere in the room tightened.
