I Want To Be a Nobleman

After Harold sent away One Arm, he thought of Marcus in One Arm's mouth. He was the nobleman who gave him the sword.

I heard from the bald head that Viscount Marcus is the younger brother of Earl Sarick, who is ten years younger than Sarick, and is only in his twenties now.

However, he had awakened his bloodline long before he became an adult, and participated in several wars with the orcs after he became an adult, and made many military exploits, making him a hero.

However, others acted rebelliously, the old Marquis didn't like him very much, and preferred his older brother Salik.

At this moment, someone knocked on Harold's door again, and Harold wondered who it was again.

Is it bald? Or is Earl Salik looking for me personally, or is it because other nobles are looking for me to win me over?

As soon as he opened the door, Harold recognized the person in front of him, with bright red hair, a tall and straight figure, and a handsome face. It was Viscount Marcus!

Yo, good evening! Marcus sat down and chatted with Harold very naturally, without any aristocratic airs.

My name is Marcus, you should remember me?

Harold quickly replied: Of course I remember, Lord Viscount, I will never forget your kindness. Without the sword you gave me, I would have died at the hands of ogres long ago.

Harold has a high opinion of this nobleman. If it weren't for the sharp sword, he would never be able to defeat the ogre anyway, so he lowered his attitude a lot.

Marcus replied with a smile: That sword is your reward for killing the troll! You don't need to thank me, I'm no longer a nobleman, don't call me Lord Viscount!

Harold thought that Viscount Marcus was too approachable, but why did he say that he was no longer a nobleman?

Why are you no longer a nobleman soon? Harold asked curiously.

Marcus is a real nobleman who has awakened his blood. No matter how much Harlaus dislikes this youngest son, it is impossible to kick him out of the house and deprive him of his title?

Marcus smiled and said: I'm going to treason! Of course the Kingdom of Lucanir will deprive me of all titles and property!

Harold almost fell off the chair in shock, treason? Your father is one of the biggest lords in the country, and your family and the royal family can also sit on an equal footing. Are you crazy and want to treason?

Marcus was not surprised by Harold's reaction, he patted Harold on the shoulder to signal Harold to calm down, and explained:

It's treason, but I don't intend to do anything to endanger the kingdom. I'm just going to go to the east to open up new territories! Establish a new country!

However, under the kingdom's laws, this is indeed treason. The king and most of the nobles do not want the number of nobles in the country to decrease and the country's strength to weaken.

Marcus knew that Harold didn't know much about noble blood, so he simply explained this matter to Harold in detail.

The extraordinary power of human beings in this world comes from the blood of the nobles. Every noble family that can awaken the blood is an important pillar of the kingdom. The overall strength of the country depends on the number of nobles.

There is a very important point here, that is, not having a hero's blood can awaken the blood to obtain extraordinary power. Most nobles are still ordinary people, and the nobles who cannot awaken the blood cannot pass the hero's blood to the next generation at all.

To put it simply, only children born to nobles who have awakened their blood can have the possibility of awakening their blood.

Nobles who cannot awaken their blood will be revoked their titles after death, and their descendants will also be demoted to commoners.

Therefore, even though each noble in the Kingdom of Lucanir has many wives and children, the total number of nobles in the country is still maintained at a certain number.

Harold understands this point. According to the theory of poor for three generations, if you are poor for three consecutive generations, then you will not be able to continue to reproduce the next generation. More or less, you can also get close to the nobles.

But according to the bald head, there is absolutely no possibility of awakening bloodlines among civilians, so Harold estimated that the transmission of the hero's bloodlines should not be as simple as ordinary gene transmission.

But Harold still doesn't understand why Marcus would open up new territories. He is the son of the old marquis, and he has awakened his bloodline. He has all the titles of the territory at his fingertips, so there is no reason to take risks!

Facing Harold's doubts, Marcus gave his answer: Because I am not loved by my father, he is more willing to pass the title and land to Sarrik, and I have a bad relationship with Sarrik. !

I don't want to grovel and ask my father or Salik for territory and wealth.

I want to completely break away from my family, test my own struggle, get my own territory, and build my own family!

Harold was shocked by Marcus's words. If Marcus was a rich second generation with no skills, he would only think that Marcus was a pompous idiot.

But Marcus is a hero who has participated in several battles with orcs, and a nobleman whose blood has awakened.

His achievements and strength are no less than that of Earl Saric, and he is one of the most noble lords in the entire Kingdom of Lucanir.

Marcus understands how high the status of the old Marquis is, how much power he has, and also understands the difficulties of opening up new territories, and it is by no means a child's play.

But he can still make up his mind to put everything aside and fight hard. Harold admires his determination and will from the bottom of his heart.

Marcus continued: This is a once-in-a-lifetime time!

The holy mountain in the northern part of the mainland has been opened, and the orcs in the east and west are fighting bloody battles. The orcs in the west will not make trouble for humans in a short time!

The Marquis of Prague also fully activated the hero's bloodline a few years ago and stepped into the legendary realm. Now he has issued a notice, inviting all people with lofty ideals to go to the east to open up new territories together!

With the Marquis of Prague taking the lead, even the king cannot forcibly stop the pace of pioneering!

Now join the pioneering troops of the Marquis of Prague and go to the East together, and you can get honor, wealth, and territory!

Marcus stood up excitedly, and said to Harold seriously: Would you like to become a knight under your command and go to the east with me to make contributions?

As long as you promise me, I can grant you the position of chief knight, reward you with 1,000 gold coins, 5 attendants, and 3 maids! After that, I will never treat you badly for any achievements you make!

Harold looked directly into Marcus' eyes, his mind was running fast, thinking whether to accept Marcus' invitation?

What should my future look like? To fight hard for my dreams or to live a peaceful and ordinary life?

Harold has dreams, and he is not willing to be ordinary and lofty dreams, but pursuing dreams is too difficult and dangerous, and he is more willing to accept an ordinary and stable life.

But after being calculated and fighting the ogre to death during the day, Harold understands that the so-called ordinary and stable life is nothing but self-deception.

In this world where the weak are preyed on by the strong, how can you ensure your own stability if you have no status or power?

Offending any noble at will, encountering some natural disasters at will will lead to the destruction of the family! The first half of the original owner Harold's life is the best portrayal!

I want to gain strength, I want to gain status, and I want to have the ability to control my own life! After thinking it over, Harold understood his choice.

My lord, I am willing to be your knight, and I am willing to go to the east with you to open up new territories!

Now the nobles of the Kingdom of Lucanir have almost divided up the interests of the kingdom. I don't even count as nobles. No matter how hard I try, it will be difficult to get ahead. Going to the east to open up wasteland is my best chance!

Harold looked directly into Marcus' eyes, and gave his answer loudly!

Marcus was very satisfied with Harold's answer, and couldn't wait to tell Harold the knight's allegiance etiquette and oath, and began to bestow honor on the knight.

Marcus put a hand on Harold's shoulder, motioning for Harold to half-kneel in front of him.

Harold was not pretentious, and knelt down on one knee. Marcus saved his life by giving him a sword during the day, and now he accepts himself as a knight, so he should kneel under all circumstances.

Marcus said seriously:

I, 'Marcus Irwin', promise in the name of the hero ancestor 'Erwin', that if you dedicate your loyalty to me, I will give you the land and wealth you deserve!

Now I will share the power of a hero with you. Are you willing to accept the power and become my knight?

Harold raised his head and said loudly: I am willing to accept your strength and serve you! Your will is my direction! In the name of the sun, I pledge my loyalty to you!

Harold doesn't have any great ancestors, so he can't swear in the name of his ancestors, but he has received the gift of the sun, so he can swear to the sun.

The consequences of violating the oath in this world are very serious. The nobles swear in the name of the heroes and ancestors. Once they break the oath, they will lose their blood and become ordinary people.

Harold swore in the name of the sun, and the effect was even more pronounced. At night, a beam of sunlight suddenly shone through their room, and the light perfectly enveloped the two of them without any diffusion.

Harold is still amazed by this phenomenon, but Marcus is used to it. When nobles awaken their bloodlines, they will always be enveloped by the divine power of the sun.

After the oath was completed, a bright flame flew out of Marcus's body and buried it in Harold's chest. Harold felt that all the attributes of his body had improved, and instinctively felt that he could use Some special abilities!

Marcus is indeed a nobleman who is known for his rebellious and unruly behavior. He has known Harold for less than two days, and he bestowed Harold with the honor of a knight after speaking only a dozen words.

The power that each noble can share is limited, and under the constraints of the oath, the shared power cannot be taken back at will. Nobles will be very cautious in the canonization of knights.

One-armed was simply cheated by Earl Salik. As soon as Salik suggested One-armed, he took the initiative to return the power that was granted. If he disagreed with Salik, there was really nothing he could do about him.

The knights who have won glory can be regarded as dignified upper-class figures in the Lucanir Kingdom, and their status is a little higher than those nobles who have not awakened their blood.

Not to mention that the canonization of a knight has to be very grand, but at least you have to choose a more formal occasion and time, and find a few famous people to witness it! How can it be done quietly in the log cabin at night?

It can be said that Marcus's behavior is not what normal people can do at all, and it is not surprising that a bum bump with little knowledge like Harold is careless.

Marcus nodded with great satisfaction, and said: From now on, you are my knight, and I will delegate tasks to you! If you have any suggestions and needs, you can also ask me.
