When they heard the words "honored noble", everyone was stunned, and then the atmosphere suddenly became much more solemn.

If you want to say who the nobles hate the most, then the decorated nobles are definitely the first to bear the brunt. Even the cultists who rob babies and the murderous devils are not as hateful to the nobles as these decorated nobles.

What makes these nobles most dissatisfied is the noble status of "honored nobles". If the Holy Church gets a knight, they will not react so much, but the fact that they are nobles makes them very unhappy. The reason is very simple, the Holy Church

The order's honorary nobility is awarded to heroes who have made outstanding contributions. There are many children of noble birth, but most of them are guys with vulgar personalities. After all, you can't expect someone to fight the devil to the death.

The people rolling in the pile of corpses have such good etiquette. Some of the decorated nobles are even mercenaries or thieves themselves. How good the etiquette and civilized foundation can you expect these civilians to have?

If that were the case, then the nobles would not have much of a headache. But the problem is that the status of the decorated nobles is quite noble. In the temple system, they represent the sword-wielding divine servants - the same class as the bishops. Which noble do you see?

Not respectful to those cardinals? Because of this, even though they are nobles, to be honest, real nobles must maintain a certain degree of etiquette when they see nobles conferring honors.

This is the part that makes those "real nobles" gnash their teeth with hatred. They must know that even their noble status is only common within their own country, and it is nothing unusual when placed in other countries - just like Earl Parwood

He can be regarded as a prince. But if he goes to the Holy Kingdom of Sais, he will have to bow politely to a viscount.

However, the status of honored nobles is limited to the whole continent. Of course, it is an exaggeration to say this. But at least in all places ruled by the Holy Church, their treatment of nobles will not change. Even in front of the indifferent elves

Same thing.

This is so unfair! Nobility is a representative of elegance and wisdom, not a symbol used by country men to show off their status. Can you imagine that among those well-dressed and elegant nobles, there is a vulgar and greedy one?

What will it look like when a big man proudly shows off to the stinky woman next to him, "Look, now we are also nobles, hahahahahaha"?

This is one of the reasons why most nobles don't like those decorated nobles. In their opinion, those people are not worthy of being nobles at all. They can be heroes, devils, or even paladins. But they just cannot be nobles.

!

If possible, the nobles might unite to force the Holy Church to make concessions, and a holy war might break out. But unfortunately, they don't have the courage, so they have to pinch their noses and suffer. Fortunately for the Holy Church,

The religious order would not overturn the ruling system since the mainland had a country, so the number of decorated nobles in the religious order was also extremely rare, even less than the number of giant pandas.

If this is just a matter of "face", then another reason why nobles hate "honored nobles" is more practical.

As mentioned before, the Honored Nobles were specially created by the Templar Order in order to protect justice and prevent the heroes from "blood and tears". And they have sacred immunity. This means that the Honored Nobles do not care about others.

Whatever happens in the country, local law enforcement agencies have no power to arrest them and can only submit it to the Holy Tribunal for discussion.

So here comes the problem. Excavator...forget it, it's not this one.

Politics is inherently dirty, and of course nobles are no exception. Things ranging from tax evasion to human trafficking are simply the innate skills of nobles. But in this way, they will be miserable in front of decorated nobles.

Okay. The other party can come and kill them on the grounds of human trafficking. Give these nobles a hard lesson, and maybe kill a few people. But these nobles have no way to fight back. It is useless to use normal methods. Honor the nobles

Immunity allows him to avoid punishment.

But what if you sue the Holy Tribunal?

If someone asked you why you were attacked, how would you answer? There are many magics used to detect lies. If you dare to tell the truth, you will be punished. If you tell lies, you will deceive the Holy Tribunal. When the time comes,

If you lose your wife and lose your troops, you really won't gain anything at all.

Because of this, the general powerful nobles are not willing to provoke the decorated nobles. Of course, they are not completely helpless. For example, they have also tried to win over and induce those decorated nobles to use their special status to do some things of their own.

Things that cannot be done. But fortunately, heroes who can obtain the honor of being decorated nobles generally have a high level of consciousness and will not join the others. Of course, there will occasionally be a few scoundrels, but the Holy Tribunal of the Templar Order naturally

It’s not like he’s eating dry food either…

Because of this, after learning that the other party was a decorated noble, everyone who was originally clamoring to give that ignorant bastard a little pain suddenly became mute. They looked at each other, not knowing what to do.

.

It wasn't until a moment later that old Sir Parwood broke the silence.

"So, do you have any good ideas? Delly?"

"Yes, Father."

Hearing her father's question, the girl nodded.

"If you allow me, I want to get to know the other party's background. After all, there has never been a decorated noble in the Eagle Plateau. This person must be from other places. We must find out what he is doing here. If it is just

If you pass by by the way, then we can just pretend that nothing happened..."

After saying this, Delly paused for a moment. Although she had not finished speaking, everyone present was not a fool and obviously understood the meaning of the second half of the sentence she did not say.

If the other party is not passing by, but intends to live here permanently, then the good days of the Parwood family are over.

Of course, if done properly, bad things can turn into good things.

"this……………"

Facing his daughter's proposal, old Sir Parwood was a little worried. After all, the other party didn't seem to take him seriously at all. Delly was the apple of his eye. If something happened, it would be troublesome. But the other party's purpose was

It did make him worried... In the end, Old Parwood nodded.

"Okay, Delly, let you represent our Parwood family to find out what the other party wants to do."

Zhan didn't know anything about the troubles of the Parwood family, or in other words, even if he knew, he wouldn't care at all. At the moment, he was in Black's mansion, drinking afternoon tea with Miss Ligeia.

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

Facing Zhan En, Ligeia's smile was a little helpless and stiff. On the one hand, she was indeed grateful to him for helping her drive away those scoundrels. On the other hand, Ligeia was more or less worried. Before, she had expected Cotton to be able to

She came back to deal with these matters, but after learning that her husband had died in battle, Ligeia was at a loss and didn't know what to do next.

"It's nothing, Mrs. Black. If you want to deal with these evil scoundrels, you have to be tougher than them to be effective."

Putting down the tea cup in his hand, Zhan En showed a gentle smile to Ligeia.

"Excuse me, what are Mrs. Black's next plans?"

"I……………"

Ligeia was stunned for a moment when she heard Zhan's question, and then lowered her eyes. She didn't know what to say for a moment. She was just the daughter of a businessman, and her parents died young. Fortunately, her parents had some friendship with Old Black.

. That’s why she was able to marry Cotton. Originally, Ligeia had made up her mind to be a good wife. As long as she could live a peaceful life, it was enough. But she didn’t expect that things were unpredictable. Now that Cotton was dead, she had to marry Cotton.

What should I do? Although the temple entrusted Mr. Zhan to give me some financial compensation, but I am a weak woman. What can I do even if I have money?

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

At this moment, Ligeia only felt that her future was a dispersing fog, and she had completely lost her direction. She had lost Cotton. She felt like a ship that had lost its rudder. She could only drift with the tide, but could no longer maintain her own destiny.

Direction. Thinking of the time when I was newly married, I thought that all the hardships would be over and that I would have a good life in the future. But I didn't expect that fate would play tricks on me like this. After a short period of sweetness, it would bring me endless pain. What should I do?

What? To be punished like this?

Thinking of this, Ligeia couldn't help but feel a little sad, but she hurriedly suppressed the inexplicable melancholy deep in her heart and showed a wry smile to Zhan En.

"Where is Mr. Jenn? What are you doing in Passus this time?"

Hearing Ligeia's question, Zhan En thought for a moment, and the next moment, he spoke again with a soft smile.

"Actually, I plan to stay in Passos for a while."

"Why?"

Hearing this, Ligeia couldn't help but be stunned for a moment. Although she had expected many answers, Zhan En's answer still exceeded her expectations.

"That's right."

Sensing the doubt in Ligeia's eyes, Zhan quickly explained.

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

"Hey...? You are too..."

Hearing this, Ligeia's expression suddenly became much more exciting. She did not expect that this young man would actually have such a connection with her husband.

"Yes, like Mr. Cotton, I also joined this adventure team in response to the call of the temple in order to seek wealth and glory. That's why I met Mr. Cotton."

Facing Ligeia's curious gaze, Zhan En began to perform again. Anyway, his origin is not difficult to find out. Anyone who is interested can find out his experience, so he will not hide anything in this regard.

Sometimes, the truth itself is the best lie. Once you marry, your love will bloom

"Because we have similar life experiences and goals, Mr. Cotton and I quickly got to know each other and became comrades in arms who share life and death. It's a pity that Mr. Cotton didn't last until the end..."

After saying this, Zhan En was silent for a moment, showing a just right balance between sadness and regret, and then continued.

"...I once learned about the magnificent beauty of the Eagle Plateau from Mr. Cotton, and I have always wanted to see the beautiful scenery here with my own eyes. This time I came to Passos, in addition to fulfilling Mr. Cotton's last wish, I also

I also want to stay here for a while and enjoy the beautiful scenery of Eagle Plateau.”

Ligeia's eyes lit up when she heard Zhan En's words, and then she hesitated for a moment, then she raised her head and looked at Zhan En and said.

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

Facing Ligeia's invitation, Zhan En smiled slightly, then he reached out and pushed up his glasses, and a cold light flashed through his eyes.

"It's a pleasure, Mrs. Black."
