Chapter 240: Decision
Sid was ready to wake up at night from the harsh environment, but the sleep was unexpectedly sweet.
It seemed that she was dreaming in a daze, but she couldn't remember what happened in the dream, but she felt comfortable...... It seemed that the air had become moist, and the cold wind was no longer cold, and even her curled up body couldn't help but relax, although it was not as comfortable as sleeping at home, it was already fine.
When she finally fell asleep, she opened her eyes, but saw that it was not the stone she had slept on before!
She was stunned and inexplicable, and immediately picked up the sword she was carrying! Straight to the feet.
When I looked closely, I realized that it was not she who had changed her position, but someone had set up a tent in the place where she was sleeping, sheltered the wind and sand outside, and lit an incense stick.
"What is this?" She remained vigilant, cautiously checking her surroundings.
"Ahh Sid, are you awake? "Someone lifted the curtain of the tent.
Sid's eyes grew and he carefully examined the other person's appearance, and then breathed a sigh of relief to find that it was an acquaintance.
He was also an Imperial nobleman, Albert Sirterley, like most of the Imperial nobles, he grew up at home and studied with various instructors, and when he grew up, he would get official positions, sometimes join the church or the army, and a small number would go to university.
Of course, the aristocrats who go to university are usually not the ones who study the hardest, but the descendants of the technocrats who work hardest. and some civilian geniuses who have been selected and promoted by the school, they are the real kings of involution, and they will not let go of the slightest opportunity, because their goal is to carp leap into the dragon gate, which is completely different from the purpose of nobles coming to the school to obtain knowledge or gilding.
Albert Sirterley, one such imperial nobleman who first went to university, then entered the Church, and finally joined the Templar Order, came from a family of counts and was the eldest son of the court count of Sirtley.
The aristocracy of the empire was rigorous, but at the same time it was a headache.
For example, the Grand Duke of Seth located by the sea, and the Duke of Wald, are two completely different titles, because the Grand Duke of Seth is not on the border, so it is lower, although he is the Grand Duke and has his own principality, but he cannot legally own his own private soldiers.
Similarly, the earl is divided into court counts, border counts, and the border counts are a little higher in rank than the marquis, but they are still called earls, in addition, the barons alone are divided into three classes, according to the family honors divided into barons, from the baron and the landlord baron, there is also an independent title called the meritorious lord, enjoy the treatment of the duke, but the actual rank is only higher than the baron, lower than the viscount, you need to salute when you see an ordinary marquis, but if you meet a prince and marquis with royal blood, The prince and the marquis had to salute the meritorious lord in turn, but even the grand duke had to show respect to the prince and marquis, and could not walk with him.
The son of the duke and the eldest son of the marquis can be called a lord, but the emperor can also be a lord, and the two lords are exactly the same in status and treatment, but if the son of the duke meets a canonized lord, he has to retreat to the side of the road to let the other party pass, and 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 of the duke's son, otherwise it is rude.
In addition, there are some special titles, such as the Baron of Berau, whose fief is in the Beroe Mountain, is actually the top nobleman of the empire, enough to be ranked with the Grand Duke, because the Beraue Mountain is an extremely important territory, although the area is small and the title is low, in fact, it is a nobleman who can be directly responsible to the emperor, and the Marquis of Gneison whose territory is the Gneison Mine has no power to participate in politics, and belongs to the communicative level of the landlord baron.
They are also princes, and the princes whose fiefs are in the east of the empire will have a lower status than those whose fiefs are in the west of the empire, and at the same time, in the Sushi Plain next to the imperial capital, there is a Prince Sushi, whose status is higher than that of all nobles, only lower than the emperor, and Prince Sushi is also the second crown prince, and 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 pain of the aristocracy who has nothing to do all day.
Still, if you get these wrong in social situations, you will soon be branded as a barbarian, uneducated, and inadequately deceitful, and many people will laugh at you behind your back, or say that you are rude.
In the Empire, faux pax is a serious mistake, and for many heirs to titles who have younger siblings, it can affect their inheritance.
Sid used her brain to go through how she should react to the eldest son of a court count as a duke's concubine, and she hadn't incorporated these things into her bones, so she needed to think for a while every time she reacted.
Soon, she took a step back with her left foot and saluted.
"Thank you...... His Excellency Sirterley. She breathed a sigh of relief, she didn't expect to be rescued at this time, she was still grateful in her heart, and the other party was polite, Sid could of course see that there was no malice in the eyes of this polite knight who saved herself, it was very clear.
And Albert was overjoyed, of course he could see that Sid was genuinely grateful, and she was embarrassed now, and she happened to be a charcoal in the snow! Although I almost died on this trip, the purpose was achieved! Blood to earn!
"No, Uncle Wald and my father are old friends, and of course I can't see you lying here waiting to die, you must be tired, right? You take these potions first, heal the wounds, and then I'll take you back to my territory, I'm now a magistrate and a knight in a city, go sit down with me, and I'll give you an airship back." Albert couldn't help but straighten his blonde hair with his hands, making his voice as soft and magnetic as possible.
He has been pursuing this awe-inspiring and noble young lady for a long time, but last time he lost to another imperial knight, his name is very delicate, called Livia, but the other party is already level 8 at a young age, not only handsome, but also extremely good in moral and interest knowledge, a typical young talent, highly valued by the military, and he is convinced.
But then things are even more strange, the Imperial knight rejects Sid instead, leaving Sid depressed for a long time.
And now, he finally has a chance, there are no other competitors, and the girl he likes is in front of him! His main skill is reconnaissance 4, so he can be stationed at the border, and at level 4, the reconnaissance skill has changed qualitatively, which is completely different from Nana's reconnaissance 1 that can only strengthen perception, reconnaissance 4 can clearly perceive a lot of mysterious and mysterious things, and can have a very intuitive observation of the essence of life, and his eyes can see things that others can't see, such as now, he can detect Sid's physical condition, as well as some simple mood swings.
He immediately sensed that this was the best chance!
“…… Thank you, Your Excellency Sirterit, this time thanks to you. Sid thought about it and didn't refuse, she really needed healing.
He took the potion and drank it in one gulp, which not only relieved his thirst, but also began to heal the injuries on his body gradually.
This healing potion ...... It's still watermelon-flavored.
If you want to add a fruity flavor without affecting the efficacy, it is estimated that it is a lot of money, right? But the aristocrats got used to it, and even took pride in it.
After drinking the potion, she felt much better, and looked at her half-broken armor again, but fortunately, although the armor and plate armor on the outside had been broken, the inner lining was still there.
This armor helped her withstand the spatial fluctuations that burst into the mortal world from the mirror world, and now it was completely destroyed, all the runes were dim, originally bright silver, but also dark gray, and even frosted.
She simply tore off the remaining pieces of armor, leaving only the inner lining, which made it easier to move.
It's just that it is inevitable to tear off some more, so that she can expose some of her abdomen and waist, but she doesn't care about it, and throws away the armor: "Your Excellency......"
Albert hurriedly waved his hand: "Don't call me Your Excellency!" Just call me by name, you should know me! ”
Saying this, his eyes couldn't help but glance down, it's not that he hasn't seen a woman, it's really Sid, as a half-elf, is too in line with human aesthetics, and Sid himself is also a very famous one in the empire's social circle.
This fame includes two meanings, one is that she is very good, she was already level 3 before I heard about it, and she has a generous personality and is very beautiful.
Second, of course, because she is the concubine of Duke Wald, the family is very powerful, and she has money.
Therefore, if you can marry her, it will be a good thing for yourself and your family, not to mention ...... Albert felt that he really liked it.
But he quickly got himself under control, he was a courteous knight, not that kind of pervert.
“…… Well, Albert, are we going back? I want to go back as soon as possible, but the King of Monsters is still different from what I thought. After Sid recovered, he couldn't help but urge.
She didn't say how it was different, because there was no need to tell Albert, but she had already made up her mind.
There should be no problem with what the King of Monsters did, and what came out of his mouth, and he did think so, but the problem was that it was too extreme, too intense, and ...... His identity as a monster is too sensitive, and there is little chance that he will be able to rise peacefully.
Sid is not a fool, she was very smart when she cracked Lu En's labyrinth, she is a very smart girl herself, so she can understand why the King of Monsters used this opportunity to make a move, although in Sid's opinion, Lu En is looking for death, the empire can never be shaken because of a level 9, the road of the King of Monsters is only death.
But...... He has a point.
It makes so much sense that Sid couldn't even help but agree, so ...... She wanted to try it for herself.
She is an imperial nobleman, and she has enough power, money, to practice that theory, not like the king of monsters, who can only practice it violently.
Perhaps one day, there will be no more slums in the empire.
No one will ever work a day just to buy a piece of brown bread that is hard to swallow.
It was a painful and grim reality, and Sid could see that the people were suffering an unprecedented and ever-expanding catastrophe, and that she had been taught to be a wise lord from an early age.
Since you want to be a wise lord...... That's action.
Albert watched Sid fall into deep thought, so he didn't bother her, he also knew that there must have been a drastic change here, more than one level 9 shot, he has reconnaissance skills, and yesterday he saw a terrifying demon dragon passing through the sky, and the calm water, mirrors, and even smooth stones around him were constantly exploding, something must have happened.
He doesn't care about those, the sky has fallen and there is a high top, let's take the goddess back to himself first, you know, just returning to the border is not over, after repairing, you have to find an airship, go to the imperial capital, and then transfer to the territory of the Duke of Wald, along the way, there is a lot of time!
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but snicker, and then kicked the servant next to him away: "Why are you still stunned!?" Hurry up and get some water! Didn't you see that Miss Sid hadn't washed her face and hair yet?! ”
This kick was very heavy, especially when he was still wearing knight's armor, the leg armor was pure steel, and as soon as he stepped down, the servant in leather armor got out of the way, but he didn't dare to cry out in pain, he just desperately wanted to get up, but this time it was too heavy, and he couldn't get up at all.
There was a knight servant in the back, one of the three knight servants he brought out of the village.
The servant helped the servant to stand up: "Go over there and rest, my lord is in a hurry, he usually treats us well, you can find someone to fetch water." ”
The servant who was kicked away also nodded, not only did he not resent, but even a little happy, Albert is indeed a well-known gentleman, today's kick looks heavy, but it hurts for half a month, and he will definitely not die, according to Albert's previous practice, he will not be held accountable in the future, and he has replaced other noble lords, delaying the pursuit of those eldest ladies, but he will 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, how to improve his favorability, I heard that Sid is also a very kind kind person, then he should be good!
You know, he's a well-known good man in his own city!
Sid was in the distance, watching all this, clenching his fists.
That's what it is...... What the Demon King said.
Everything happened in front of him, and that's what the King of Monsters said...... Inequality.
inequality in status, inequality in opportunity, inequality in life, and...... Inequality in personality.
The King of Monsters is doomed, but she doesn't have to.
Change should start 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 had been kicked away: "Drink it, it will be much better." ”
She didn't go on to say anything more, for she knew that he wouldn't understand to say equality to this servant now.
So, this move is just to convince yourself.
She's going to start somewhere else.
