Chapter 240 Decision
Sid was prepared to be woken up by the harsh environment at night, but this sleep was unexpectedly sweet.
It seemed that she had some dreams in a daze, but she couldn't remember what happened in the dreams. She just felt very comfortable... It seemed that the air had become moist, the cold wind was no longer cold, and even her curled up body
I couldn't help but relax. Although it was not as comfortable as sleeping at home, it was already good.
When she finally fell asleep, she opened her eyes and saw that the rocks around her were not the ones she had slept on before!
She was so shocked that she immediately picked up the sword she carried with her and stood up directly.
After taking a closer look, I realized that it was not that she had changed her position, but that someone had set up a tent where she slept to block the wind and sand outside, and also lit an incense stick.
"What is this?" She remained vigilant and carefully checked her surroundings.
"Ah! Sid, are you awake?" Someone opened the tent curtain.
Sid opened his eyes and carefully examined the other person's appearance. Then he breathed a sigh of relief and found that he was an acquaintance.
He is also an imperial noble, Albert Siltele. Like most imperial nobles, he trained and studied with various tutors at home since he was a child. When he grows up, he will obtain an official position and sometimes join the church or the army.
They work in middle schools, and a small number of them go to university to study.
Of course, the aristocrats who go to university to study are usually not the ones who study the hardest. The ones who work the hardest should be the descendants of the technocrats, as well as some civilian geniuses who have been selected and promoted by the school. They are the real involution.
The king of the school refused to let go of any opportunity, because their goal was to leap over the dragon gate, which was completely different from the purpose of the nobles coming to school to gain knowledge or gilding.
Albert Sirtle was an imperial nobleman who first went to university, then entered the church, and finally joined the Knights Templar. He came from a family of counts and was the eldest son of the earl of the Court of Sirtle.
The empire's aristocratic system is very strict, but it is also very troublesome.
For example, the Grand Duke of Seth, who is located on the seaside, and the Duke of Walder, are two completely different titles. Because the Grand Duke of Seth is not on the border, it is lower. Although he is a grand duke and has his own principality, he cannot
Legally own your own private army.
Similarly, earls are divided into court earls and border earls. The border earls are a little higher than marquises, but they are still called earls. In addition, barons are divided into three classes, and they are divided into barons according to their family honors.
, from Baron and Landlord Baron, there is also an independent title called Meritorious Spylord, who enjoys the treatment of a Duke, but the actual rank is only higher than Baron and lower than Viscount. When you see an ordinary Marquis, you need to salute, but if you meet
When it comes to the prince and marquis who has royal blood, the prince and marquis must in turn salute the hero Spyge, but even the grand duke must show respect to the prince and marquis and cannot walk side by side with him.
The son of a duke or the eldest son of a marquis can be called a lord, but the emperor can also make him a lord. The two kinds of lords have exactly the same status and treatment. However, if the son of a duke encounters a canonized lord, he has to step aside and let the other person have his way.
At the same time, the eldest son of the marquis can pass by without giving way, but the eldest son of the marquis must show respect to the lord, the son of the duke, otherwise it will be rude.
There are also some special titles, such as Baron Shrike, whose fiefdom is in Shrike Mountain. He is actually the top noble in the empire, enough to be tied with the Grand Duke, because Shrike Mountain is an extremely important territory. Although it is small in area and has a low title, it is actually the highest noble in the empire.
However, he was a noble who could directly answer to the emperor. However, the Margrave of Gneisen, whose territory was the Gneisen Mine, did not have the power to participate in political affairs and belonged to the social level of a landowner baron.
They are all princes, and those whose fiefdoms are in the east of the empire will have a lower status than those whose fiefdoms are in the west. At the same time, there is a Prince of Sushi in the Sushi Plain next to the imperial capital, and his status is higher than that of all nobles.
He is only lower than the emperor, and Prince Su Shi is also the second crown prince. In the event of the accidental death of the emperor and the first crown prince, he has the right to inherit the throne.
The whole process is complex and cumbersome, which fully reflects the aristocrats' desire to have nothing to do all day long.
Nonetheless, if you get these things wrong in social situations, you will soon be labeled as a barbarian, uneducated, and lacking in etiquette. Many people will laugh at you behind your back, or call you rude.
In the empire, being disrespectful is a very serious mistake. For many heirs to a title who have younger siblings, this may affect their inheritance rights.
Sid went over in her mind how she, as the duke's legitimate daughter, should react to the eldest son of a court earl. She had not yet integrated these things into her bones, so she needed to think for a while each time she reacted.
Soon, she took a step back with her left foot and saluted.
"Thank you... Sir Sirtle." She breathed a sigh of relief. She didn't expect to be rescued at this time, but she still felt grateful in her heart, and the other person was also polite. Of course, Sid could see that this rescuer
There was no malice in the knight's eyes, which showed his courtesy and was very clear.
Albert was overjoyed. Of course he could see that Sid was sincerely grateful, and with her in such a miserable state, he was just the one to help in times of need! Although he almost died on this trip, he still achieved his goal! A bloody profit!
"It's okay. Uncle Walder and my father are old friends. Of course I can't see you lying here waiting to die. You must be exhausted, right? Take these potions first and treat your injuries, and then I'll
I'll take you back to my territory. I'm working as a constable and knight leader in a city now. Come and sit over there, and then I'll take you back on an airship." Albert couldn't help straightening out his hair with his hands.
Blonde hair, make your voice as soft and magnetic as possible.
He has been pursuing this majestic and noble lady for a long time, but he lost to another imperial knight last time. His name is very delicate, Livia, but the other party is already level 8 at a young age. He is not only handsome, but also has good moral character.
He is extremely knowledgeable and is a typical young talent. He is highly valued by the military. He is convinced when he loses.
But what happened later was even more bizarre. The imperial knight rejected Sid instead, leaving Sid depressed for a long time.
And now, he finally has a chance. There is no other competitor, and the girl he likes is right in front of him! His main skill is Detective 4, so he can be stationed at the border. At level 4, his detective skills have changed qualitatively, and he is like Nana.
Detective 1 can only enhance perception, which is completely different. Detective 4 can clearly detect many mysterious and mysterious things, and can have a very intuitive observation of the essence of life. His eyes can see things that others cannot see, such as
Now, he can detect Sid's physical condition and some simple mood swings.
He immediately realized that this was the best opportunity!
"...Thank you, Mr. Sirtle, it's all thanks to you this time." Sid thought for a moment and didn't refuse. She really needed healing.
Taking the potion and drinking it in one gulp, not only did his thirst relieve, but his injuries also began to heal gradually.
This healing potion... actually tastes like watermelon.
If you want to add fruit flavor without affecting the efficacy, it will probably cost a lot of money, right? But the nobles are used to it and are even proud of it.
After drinking the potion, she felt much better, and looked at her half-broken armor. Fortunately, although the outer armor plates and plates had been torn, the inner lining was still there.
This armor helped her withstand the space fluctuations that broke into the mortal world from the mirror world. Now it has been completely destroyed. All the runes are dim. They were originally bright silver and have turned into dark gray. They have even been beaten.
A layer of frosting.
She simply tore off the remaining armor pieces, leaving only the inner lining, which made it easier to move.
However, this would inevitably pull it off a little more, exposing some of her abdomen and waist, but she didn't care and threw away the nail plate: "Your Excellency..."
Albert waved his hand quickly: "No need to call me Your Excellency! Just call me by my name, you should know me!"
As he said this, he couldn't help but glance down. It wasn't that he had never seen a woman before, but that as a half-elf, Sid was really in line with human aesthetics, and Sid himself was very popular in the empire's social circles.
A famous one.
This famous name has two meanings. First, she is very good. I heard that she was already level 3 before. She is also generous and beautiful.
Secondly, of course, it is because she is the legitimate daughter of Duke Walder, her family is extremely powerful, and she also has money.
Therefore, if he could marry her, it would be a good thing for himself and his family, not to mention... Albert felt that he really liked her.
But he quickly controlled himself. He was a polite knight, not a pervert.
"...Okay, Albert, do we want to go back? I want to go back as soon as possible. The King of Monsters is still different from what I thought." After Sid recovered, he couldn't help but urge.
She didn't say why it was different, because there was no need to tell Albert, but she had already made a decision in her heart.
There should be no problem with what the King of Monsters did and what he said. He did think so, but the problem was that it was too extreme, too intense, and...his identity as a monster was too sensitive.
, resulting in almost no possibility for him to rise peacefully.
Sid is not a fool. She was very smart when she cracked Lu En's maze. She is a very smart girl, so she can understand why the King of Monsters wants to use this opportunity to take action. Although in Sid's opinion
Come on, Lu En is looking for death. The empire will never be shaken just because of level 9. The only way for the king of monsters is death.
But... what he said makes sense.
It made so much sense that Sid couldn't help but agree, so...she wanted to try it herself.
She is an imperial noble and has enough power and money to implement that theory, instead of being like the King of Monsters who can only implement it violently.
Perhaps one day there will be no more slums in the Empire.
No one will work all day just to buy a piece of unpalatable brown bread.
This is a painful and severe reality. Sid can see that the people are suffering from unprecedented disasters, which are getting bigger and bigger day by day. The education she received since childhood is to become a wise lord.
If you want to be a wise lord... then you have to take action.
Albert watched Sid lost in thought and did not disturb her. He also knew that drastic changes must have taken place here. More than one level 9 took action. He had investigative skills. He just saw a terrifying magic dragon coming out of the sky yesterday.
As the sky passed by, the calm water, mirrors, and even smooth stones all around were exploding. Something big must have happened.
He doesn't care about that. If the sky falls, there will be someone high to hold it up. He should take the goddess back to his place first. You know, just returning to the border is not enough. After repairing it, he still has to find the airship and go to the imperial capital.
Then transfer to Duke Walder's territory. There will be plenty of time along the way!
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but chuckle, and then kicked the servant next to him away: "Why are you still standing there!? Hurry up and fetch the water to clear it! Didn't you see that Miss Sid hasn't washed her face and hair yet?!"
This kick was very hard, especially since he was still wearing knight armor. The leg armor was made of pure steel. Once the kick came down, the servant in leather armor rolled away, but he didn't dare to cry out in pain, and just tried his best.
He wanted to get up, but the weight was too heavy and he couldn't get up at all.
There is a knight's retinue behind him, one of the three knights' retinue he brought out from the village.
The servant helped the servant stand up with all his strength: "Go over there and have a rest. Your Excellency is impatient. He is usually very kind to us. You can go find someone to fetch water."
The servant who was kicked away also nodded. Not only was there no resentment, he was even a little happy. Albert was indeed a well-known gentleman. Today's kick seemed heavy, but it only hurt for half a month.
He will definitely not die. According to what Albert did before, he will not be held accountable in the future. If it were other noble lords who delayed the pursuit of those eldest ladies, they would be beaten to death!
And Albert didn't take this matter to heart. He happily began to think about how to get along with Sid on the road and how to improve his favorability. He heard that Sid was also a very kind person, so he should also
good!
You know, he is a well-known good man in his own city!
Sid was watching all this from a distance, clenching his fists.
This is... what the devil said.
Everything happens right in front of you. This is what the King of Monsters calls... inequality.
Inequality in status, inequality in opportunity, inequality in life, and... inequality in personality.
The King of Monsters is doomed, but she is not necessarily.
Change should start from now.
Looking at the potion with a little residual liquid left at the bottom, she walked out and handed the bottle to the servant who was kicked away: "Drink it, you will feel much better."
She didn't say anything more, because she knew that if she talked about equality to this servant now, he wouldn't understand.
Therefore, this move is just to convince myself.
Chapter completed!
