"Your mission is to investigate the distribution of monsters in this area for the Duchy.”
A luxuriously dressed old man walked out. His name was Feng Tier, a viscount and also the person in charge of this operation.
Behind him stood the Duchy of the northern part of the forest, and he was the person in charge of the advance party that was about to attack and conquer the southern part of the forest.
Feng Tier was ordered by the Grand Duke to pass through the Boulade Forest in order to get the details of the situation here.
The gathering place of the monsters, the geographical environment, the distribution of resources, and so on.
"To be able to become a noble, this is an opportunity that you can never wait for in your lifetime!”
It was not just one or two people who became nobles, including every member of this operation. They just had to protect Vontir and let him prove the authenticity of the map.
Then, everyone could be promoted to a knight.
Although they were the lowest level of nobility and did not even have a fief, they were still nobles and were truly upper-class people!
Some people might ask, with more than 50 people, would the duchy confer so many nobles at once?
Of course not!
Half of them had died just by crossing the Boulade Forest. Naturally, there would be a lot of sacrifices when they returned.
The most important thing is to protect Feng Tier. Otherwise, even if you come back alive, the Duchy will not believe that the map is real, and it is even more impossible to give out rewards.
To cross the Boulade Forest twice while protecting an ordinary person was a difficult task. In the end, no more than ten people would be able to return alive.
"Such a person is actually a noble.。。”
Ai Xin didn't like the nobles, compared to them, Ai Xin was even willing to treat those poor peasants who were called mud legs for free, and she didn't want to deal with them.
However, she had no choice but to become a noble because only by becoming a noble could she use this relationship to let her sister become a higher clergy.
Esther's sister, Cher, was a priest with the ability to predict.
However, a talent like prophecy often only had negative effects in the temple.
Unless she became a mage and received the protection of the Guild of Magic, Cher would definitely be labeled as a witch once her prophecy ability was exposed.
Of course, if Cher could accept the formal inheritance of the Temple and become a witch blessed by the gods, which meant that she was officially recognized as a prophet, there would naturally be no problem.
However, if one wanted to become a witch blessed by the gods, one needed to spend not only money but also social status.
Without a noble to vouch for them, the Temple would not acknowledge them.
"Please mind your words."
"Even the Goddess of Dawn has no right to insult the reputation of a noble.”
"Or do you intend to challenge the honor of the nobles and become enemies with the entire duchy?”
Esther realized that she had misspoken. Although she was a professional and was more outstanding than most adventurers, she was still just an ordinary priest.
Without power or high social status, the consequences of offending the nobles were absolutely unbearable for her.
At least before they became nobles, Esther and Cher didn't dare to disobey their orders.
"Yaya yaya."
Feng Ci Lang pursed his lips and stood in front of Ai Xin, saying,"Don't scare our cute little priest, Lord Viscount.”
"I was just casually saying a few words, but you're saying that we're enemies with the dukedom. When did low-class people like us have such a big face?”
"Humph!"
Feng Tier's aristocratic upbringing made him disdain to argue with Feng Jiro. In any case, in his opinion, the number of people here who could become nobles could be counted on one hand.
There was no need for him to waste his breath on someone who might die on the way back.
In addition, the honor of a noble should be placed in a place with many people, such as the interior of the duchy. As for this place, in the wilderness, no one would uphold justice for him.
Although they were hired by the Dukedom, as mercenaries and adventurers who licked blood on the edge of a knife, if they killed someone in a rage and ran to another country, the Dukedom would really not be able to find trouble with them.
"Feng Ci Lang!"
Owen heard the threat in Feng Cilang's words and shouted in a deep voice,"Do not be rude to Viscount Vontir!”
"Humph!"
The old man snorted in dissatisfaction. In his opinion, Owen was the only one in this group who had the temperament of a noble.
Of course, even if it was Owen, it was just a resemblance.
If one was not a true noble, they would never know how great they were.
As for professionals, they were just a group of barbarians. No matter how powerful they were, they were just inferior people.
In this world, the birth of powerhouses was very rare.
It was related to the bloodline, but it was not absolute. It was mostly based on the huge number.
Although the nobles were of pure blood, they were few in number. Moreover, even among the nobles, the chances of producing professionals were barely higher than that of the commoners, about 20%.
But so what if it was 20%?
The total number of nobles was only one-thousandth of the number of commoners, which was far from being comparable to the number of commoners.
In addition, the living conditions of nobles were excellent. Even if they became adventurers, they would not fight or risk their lives. Adventurers who had not gone through the baptism of blood and fire would not be able to reach level 20 and become a true professional.
This was also the reason why most of the professional adventurers were commoners.
Although the proportion was less than that of the nobles, the total number was far greater than that of the nobles. Even if only one out of a hundred civilian adventurers could become a professional, it was still a power that the nobles could not imagine.
Therefore, in the three duchies known as the Three Northern Territories, the regime would change once every few decades or centuries.
The commoners became nobles, the old nobles were destroyed, and even the royal family of the country would change.
This kind of thing was a common occurrence in the human countries for tens of millions of years.
"Guild Leader…"
The young cleric, who had covered her eyes with a white cloth, walked to Owen's side. Cher asked softly,""Will he really vouch for us?”
"Nobles disdain to lie."
"Although Viscount Vontir discriminates against us," Owen said,"as long as we complete the mission, he will definitely not go back on his word.”
The quality of a noble was not only arrogance, but also pride.
As long as it was an old noble family with a heritage, they would not take the credit of others.
Moreover, they were just some newly promoted knights. This kind of reward that was only in name and had no substance was nothing in Viscount Vontir's eyes.
Do you think that just because you're called a noble, you're a noble?
No fiefs, no subjects, the so-called nobles were just a nice sounding term.
"In addition, we are only investigating. There is no need to directly fight those demons.”
Owen said to Shirley,"When the time comes, stand in the middle of the line. Don't rush in, understand?”
"Don't worry, Guild Leader. My sister and I will protect ourselves.”
Priests were very important resources, especially in this barbaric land. Once injured, they could only rely on Priests to heal.
Therefore, a Cleric represented the endurance of a team. For this reason, Owen had the two sisters follow him as a form of insurance for the team.
