234 Then I'll be fine
Investigating Rige's past, or rather the past of the original owner, is not a difficult task for the royal family at all.
So, Rig was not surprised by King Hemulimp's words.
"It was before, and now is now." He just said, "I don't feel like being a nobleman is my goal in life anymore.
「...... Really?" King Hemulimp nodded, with a look of understanding, but said, "If you are worried that the status of the nobleman will become a constraint on you, then you can rest assured, there are also people among the nobles who do not serve in the kingdom."
Sure enough, the king's approach was guessed by Yuri.
If Rige insists on refusing to become a nobleman, he will compromise with honorary nobility, allowing Rige to be nominally subordinate to the kingdom of Jinas and not serving in the kingdom.
Of the four types of nobility, only the honorary nobility did not have a clear position.
Since King Hemulimp had brought up the matter, it was natural that he intended to make Rig an honorary nobleman.
However......
"As I said, I don't have any interest in becoming a nobleman." Li Ge smiled, and said in an ancient and waveless tone, "I'm really sorry to disappoint Your Majesty."
King Hemulimp's brow finally furrowed.
The rest of the people present were the same, looking at Rieger with strange eyes, some full of scrutiny, some full of sarcasm, and some simply full of hostility, showing all kinds of life.
"Don't you think about it again?" King Hemulimp frowned and said, "I can understand your thoughts, but you must know that with your current ability and fame, once you really go out to travel the continent, the people of that foreign country will definitely target you."
"The struggle between countries is very complicated, if you can poach a special talent like you from this country, weaken this country's strength, and then strengthen their country's strength, then those foreign countries will definitely not mind using some radical means."
"When the time comes, the situation you will face will be much more dangerous than you imagined."
King Hemulimp's words are not alarmist.
Just as the Kingdom of Jinas wants to tie up Rig completely in this country as a nobleman, others in a foreign country must also want to poach Rig.
With Riege's status as a tactical-level magician, it was already valuable enough for people from foreign countries to make some arrangements against him, not to mention that he was still a senior swordsman, which would inevitably attract the attention of foreign high-level leaders even more.
If that happens, even if the Kingdom of Jinas doesn't do anything to Rige, other countries will do it.
"You're still young, so there's no need to be in such a hurry to do what you want to do." King Hemulimp said in a persuasive tone, "It must be very dangerous for you to go out to travel to the continent now, so it is better to stay in the country first, develop slowly, and when you have enough strength to make foreign countries jealous in the future, it is not too late to go out and travel."
I have to say that although King Hemulimp took such pains to persuade in order to keep Rige alone, what he said was basically the right thing.
When his strength is insufficient, Li Ge goes out to travel and is targeted by people from other countries, so there is indeed a high probability that he will be given in vain.
Only when he has enough strength to deal with all external malice can he travel as much as he wants.
Otherwise, the Kingdom of Jinas is so big, why is there only one Sword Saint who can travel freely around the continent as an honorary nobleman without being fettered?
Because he is a sword master, the Kingdom of Jinas does not dare to send him casually with some trivial things, and foreign countries do not dare to do anything to him casually, so as not to be counter-killed.
"You are only 17 years old, and you are already a senior swordsman, I believe that in another ten years, your name will definitely be in the Sword Saint of the Akaxia Continent."
That's what King Hemulimp said.
"Well, I promise you that you can travel freely within the kingdom when you don't have to, as long as you don't set foot outside the border, you can go anywhere, and there will be no trouble assigned to you until you become a Juggernaut, how about it?"
Speaking of which
At this point, King Hemulimp can be regarded as quite sincere.
With his promise, it was believed that Rieg would be freer and more unfettered than the average honorary nobleman.
Frankly, King Hemulimp was able to make such a promise, and in Yuri's opinion, it was already the best ending.
If that's the case, this nobleman, Rieg can't be a pawn, right?
It's a pity that Yuri and Hemulimp don't know Rieg like this.
From the moment Hemmulimp wanted to tie Rig to the ship of the Kingdom of Jinas, it was destined that Rig would not agree to this.
He is free and can go wherever he wants, so why should he be allowed by others?
Even if he wants to join a foreign country, it is his freedom, not like this, being tied to death on the ship of the Kingdom of Jinas.
Not even a nominal affiliation. Because, this means that once the kingdom of Jinas is really in trouble, he still has to accept the orders of the kingdom and fight for this country no matter what.
And that's exactly what Rieg didn't want.
Even if he wants to fight for this country, it is not in the form of being ordered.
He doesn't have any sense of belonging to this country, and the only thing he feels nostalgic for is Yuri, the only one who lives in the Franzel family.
He is not averse to joining a certain faction, otherwise he would not have joined the Loki clan in order to obtain the favor of the gods, let alone join the ghost killing team just because he took advantage of the situation.
If he can give him a sense of belonging like the Loki family, then even if he doesn't belong to this family, won't he help them?
If he can treat him with sincerity like Yaoya Sanyashiki and Kyojuro in Purgatory, then Rige can even help them fulfill their long-cherished wish for a thousand years without any reason, and kill the onimai Tsuji who has no grievances with him.
How does the Kingdom of Genus compare to this?
With the exception of Yuri, all Rigg can see in this country is a struggle based on various interests and powers.
There was a struggle between the nobility and the nobility.
There was a struggle between the royal family and the duke.
Even the small group in the Splyler Institute that the original owner was staying in was only a phenomenon of huddles based on some interests and some reason.
Yuri is the only one who treats him with sincerity from beginning to end, treating him as a friend, rather than a talent who can play a role, or even a combat power that can be used, like the royal family, like nobles, and like those with ulterior motives.
King Hemmulip would go to such great lengths to make Rig accept the title arranged by the kingdom, in order to tie Rig to death in this country, and even to win him over to support the royal family and support the royal faction.
Krieg felt repulsed and resisted by these.
Therefore, Rig spoke slowly.
"Until you become a Juggernaut...... Right?"
Riege's voice sounded slowly, and it spread throughout the king.
"In that case, then I'll be fine."
This sentence, for a while, made everyone present show incomprehensible expressions.
They don't understand what Rieg is referring to when he says "no problem".
Only King Hemulimp's eyes froze.
"Rige?"
Yuri also didn't expect Rieg to say this, and looked at him in surprise.
Rig didn't intend to explain anything, but looked at King Hemulimp with a calm look in his eyes that the king fell into an indescribable silence.
"Your Majesty?"
The civil servants on the side seemed to be a little puzzled by King Hemulimp's reaction, and when they saw that he fell silent, they immediately called out one after another.
King Hemulimp ignored them. He just stared at Rig, his eyes twinkling, and his heart felt like a thousand thoughts.
The entire king suddenly fell into an inexplicable silence, causing many people to look at each other.
It wasn't until a long time later that King Hemulimp spoke up. "Speaking of which, I haven't seen Qing make a move yet." King Hemulimp suddenly this
He said, "I wonder if Qing can satisfy my curiosity and let me see your sword skills?"
King Hemulimp's sudden *** made many people stunned.
Even Yuri, that's true.
Only Rige understood the deep meaning of King Hemulimp.
"What does Your Majesty plan to see?" Rieg spoke out indifferently.
Khmulimp did not answer immediately, but looked to the side.
"Albert."
He called a man's name. "Yes."
One of those present immediately responded.
It was a young man standing in the ranks of knights, and he was still at the top.
The young man wears a knight's uniform with a long hem, and the knight's uniform is white throughout, creating a sense of righteousness and brightness, making the young man look like the most elegant knight, and it makes people feel trusted at a glance.
"Albert Borlais is here, please ask your majesty to command."
The young man named Albert knelt down on one knee before the throne, and his voice was loud and his attitude was right, showing an impeccable knighthood.
"Albert." Hemulimp smiled as if he were looking at a loyal servant who was extremely satisfied with him, "How do you feel about the competition between you and Brihout?"
"Yes." Albert said without hesitation, "If this is His Majesty's wish, I will be happy to do so."
The young knight replied crisply, without the slightest hesitation.
However, the rest of the people present were shocked.
"Actually let Albert Qing make a move?"
"Your Majesty, what's wrong?"
"This ......"
The crowd finally couldn't help but make an uproar. Even Yuri's complexion changed briefly, and there was a look of solemnity, surprise, and worry in her eyes.
Rige watched everyone's reactions, and then looked at the young knight.
At this glance, Rieger realized that this knight was amazing.
Through the transparent world, Li Ge could peek into the fact that this knight's muscles were extremely solid, his physique was extremely strong, and his body was flowing with a lot of magic, and he had a feeling that his internal organs were full of strength.
This man is anything but ordinary.
"Secretary Brihaut." King Hemulimp turned to Rige and asked, "What do you think?"
Hearing this, Li Ge suddenly smiled. "Yes."
Things seem to have become interesting.
