(Today's first chapter arrives!) Thank you for the ancient wind and 654103785 two book friends for the tip! Well, the cover of this book has come out, and it doesn't look very good, so let's just take the first main god space on the cover as the highest authority of the hanging point! ）

A few minutes later, escorted by a bronze knight in the armor of an enchanted knight commanding a group of cavalry, Baron Ernst and his party entered the camp of the autumn hunt.

As soon as they entered the camp, divided into a dozen small camps and the nobles and their families, subordinate knights, and warriors who participated in the autumn hunt, they noticed the Baron Ernst, who had just arrived.

"It's the Ernst family!"

"It's still the same as before."

"It is said that the genius son of Baron Ernst also came this time, I don't know if it's true?"

"Haha, let's go visit that guy from Ernst later!"

Immediately after seeing Baron Ernst and his entourage and the sword and blood-dripping wolf's head banner (Note 1), some people immediately recognized Baron Ernst by the noble banner and insignia, and then from time to time someone whispered in the camp, and several nobles who were allies or close to the Ernst family were also ready to come and visit later.

It should be said that in the case of the five northern kingdoms, where human beings only occupy a general advantage and are dangerous in the wilderness, the relationship between nobles, especially among those whose territories are adjacent to each other, is generally not bad - as for the kind of neighboring nobles who have grudges, they are exempted, and they will not visit each other, even if they are not hostile in the autumn hunt presided over by the high nobles!

"Rod, wait a minute, you have to get to know some people," Baron Ernst rode on the back of his giant war horse, which had three-quarters of the horse-like monster bloodline and looked almost three meters tall, like a monster, while trying to wave and shout hello to the nobles and knights he knew in the camp, and then whispered to Rhodes who followed behind him.

"I understand, father," he said, listening to his father's words, he was originally interested in observing the camp, and his brows twitched, and he said to his father very simply.

Of course, Rhodes understood that his father was probably beginning to make himself formally contact with other nobles, and at the same time, to determine and formally inform the other nobles about the planned heir of the next generation of the Ernst family.

Although Rod himself wanted to tell his father that his future achievements were definitely not something that a mere baron could satisfy, but after thinking about his current strength and the relevant situation of the gods' game space, Rod decisively said that it was better for him to make a fortune at this time.

――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

In the afternoon, in the camp of the Ernst family in the autumn hunting camp.

"Lord Lewis, this is my son Rod Ernst, who will be the next head of the Ernst family if nothing else!" Baron Ernst, who was worthy of a tiger's back, sat in the camp, and pointed to Rhodes sitting on the side, and said to the male nobleman opposite him, who was also strong, with flaxen hair and a mustache, that there was no such thing as aristocratic etiquette.

"Oh? Kate, are you sure? This is a very prudent thing," the Lord named Lewis did not get angry but looked at Rhodes in amazement, and then asked the seventh Baron Ernst, whose real name was Kate Ernst, very seriously.

There may be many descendants of the nobility in this world, but only one inherits the title of nobility, and in the absence of primogeniture (Note 2), Baron Ernst would not have decided on the heir of the baron so early, at least until Rhodes had developed the corresponding ability and established his prestige. And now Rhodes only has the name of a genius, which really puzzles Lewis, a lord who has a pretty good relationship with Baron Ernst

"Rhodes's case has qualified him as heir to the Ernst family," explains Baron Ernst, who had heard the same thing several times several times, to the question of Lewis's own old friend.

"That's it" After listening to Baron Ernst's words, Lord Lewis, who was once again sure that Baron Ernst was very conscious, turned his head to look at Rod, who had not spoken and remained silent next to him, and after observing for a few seconds and finding that Rod was ignoring his gaze, Lewis said meaningfully and continued to talk to Baron Ernst.

"Knights of the Red Bronze Rank, it seems that the resources in the hands of the nobles are indeed not blown" On the side, Rod, who had already enjoyed this kind of piercing gaze several times, was not angry, but calmly estimated in his heart.

Several lords and even the same baron that Baron Ernst befriended were basically knights or warriors of the bronze rank, and the only exception was the nobles of the peak rank of gray iron or a rare magician profession, which couldn't help but make people sigh that the nobles of the five kingdoms of the Northland were not easy to be - under the threat of the outside world, those small nobles who took villages and small towns as fiefs did not dare to relax, and those who could not step into the path of professionals were basically impossible to inherit the noble titles and territories.

"Banquet ???" When Lord Lewis said that "His Excellency the Viscount is preparing to hold a welcome banquet before the autumn hunt in the evening" came out, he couldn't help but make Rod's face change slightly, and then he had a trace of anticipation for tonight's banquet.

――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

In the evening, after it was confirmed that the Ernst family and several other families had arrived today, a banquet was held in the autumn hunting camp to celebrate the beginning of the autumn hunt.

Although it was in a simple camp in the wilderness, Viscount Thor, as the leader of the autumn hunt, still spent a lot of effort to decorate the originally simple camp into a pretty good banquet venue.

Anyway, when Rhodes followed his father to the central square of the camp that had been leveled and cleared, what he saw was a rather large scene.

Dozens of magical lighting appliances illuminate the entire central square, and more than a dozen wooden long tables in the square are covered with white tablecloths, and on them are placed all kinds of silver plates, and all kinds of fruits and fragrant meat and fish dishes on the plates make people salivate from time to time.

In the midst of the music of a band of more than 20 people, a nobleman who had taken off the armor and magician robes he had worn when he came, dressed in a not very ornate dress, entered the venue one by one with the family members he had followed this time, and the attendants, who had obviously been trained carefully, respectfully led these nobles and noble families into the venue.

"Baron Ernst has arrived!" When Baron Ernst, Rhodes, and the Knight of Tammon entered the venue, the words of the squires who routinely took their names caused a slight fluctuation in the room.

"Baron Ernst is here, huh? Who's that boy behind him?"

"Don't you recognize it? That genius of the Ernst family is said to be almost gray iron now!"

"Huh? Are you talking about that Rod Ernst of the Ernst family? It looks pretty good, but this time Baron Ernst actually took him to the autumn hunt."

"Humph! Isn't it just that you defeated a gnoll during the trial of courage?"

When Ernst, Rod, and Tammon entered the hall, the other lords, knights, and ladies in the hall who did not know about Rhodes all started talking in whispers. As a fresh face participating in the autumn hunt for the first time, Rhodes, who followed behind his father Baron Ernst, received a lot of attention.

After learning of Rod's identity, there were obviously a lot of people and topics interested in Rhodes himself in the venue, and various praises or disparaging comments appeared.

However, for the current Rod, some innocuous evaluations are nothing at all, but those aristocratic teenagers who are about the same age or older as Rhodes obviously don't think so. Especially when I saw that those aristocratic girls were interested in looking at Rhodes, who had the title of genius, those aristocratic boys who had begun to secrete male hormones and were quite competitive looked at Rhodes with extremely unfriendly eyes.

For this situation, although Rhodes felt that he was a little wronged, his reaction was to glare back at those noble teenagers fiercely - unlike the obscurity on the earth, this magical world only focuses on strength, if you show weakness, it may cause more people to think that you are a weak person and bully you more!

Compared with Rod, who has actually killed dozens of battles and experienced many in the game space of the gods, which is not much different from the real scene (except that he will not really die), the aristocratic boy who can be brought by his parents or elders is at least gray iron but has not gone through too many tragic battles.

After facing Rod's indifferent gaze, most of the aristocratic teenagers couldn't bear it for less than ten seconds and gave up looking at each other, while the remaining few aristocratic teenagers who were obviously over sixteen years old and had experienced a lot of battles endured a few more seconds, but they were still defeated.

After seeing this situation, the official knights or magicians of the bronze rank in the venue couldn't help but look at each other in some surprise and began to talk, and Baron Ernst, who was talking, also had a clear smile on his face.
