839 climbs unimaginable peaks
As someone who had visited here once, Riege also knew a little about mead, an upper-class restaurant open to the aristocracy.
The first floor was a venue for banquets and balls, the second floor was a private room for minor nobles such as viscounts and barons, and the third floor was a private room for the earl, marquis, duke, and other nobles.
No matter how many others deny it, in this world, the aristocracy is the privileged people, the royal family is even higher, only the strong can subvert the class gap, and the approval of this upper circle, ordinary people are unable to resist this reality no matter what.
If Rieger was a hot-blooded young man who was not accustomed to privilege, then perhaps he would have been able to change the situation in a positive way.
It's a pity that although he is not unaccustomed to it, he knows better that even if there is no nobleman or royal family, the so-called privileges are still everywhere.
Those in power have privileges.
Those who do business have privileges.
Capitalists have privileges.
Rich people are equally privileged.
There is no absolute fairness in this world, even if the rule of the royal family and nobles is overthrown, it is just a change of people, a different form to let people enjoy privileges.
So, Rieger never wanted to change all that.
All he can do is make himself strong, to be able to erase all the malice that comes close to him, and to make those who think they can use their privilege to suppress him.
And he did that.
Counting the time experienced in the last dimensional shuttle, more than a year has passed, nearly two years since the time travel.
In two years, Rieg has truly stood at the top of this world.
In the hidden land, now that the ancient magic civilization has been destroyed, he has more than the two levels of the average sword master, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he is already invincible in the world.
Therefore, now he no longer has to just follow Yuli's side to go in and out of various occasions, but can let the girls around him follow him and accept the awe-inspiring gaze of others.
In fact, when Riege took Yuri and the others into the highest-level venue on the first floor under the guidance of the waiters, the voices of the audience became much lower.
"It's Briehaut and Franzelhou!"
"Sure enough, these two are here too."
"Are the three ladies who are following Brihaut ......?"
"It's the two female Swordmasters who have just recently received the Order of the Swordmaster!"
"And the other one is the rumored Highness Liz?"
"It's amazing......"
"The three Jugwernauts actually appeared together, and there was ...... Franzel Marquis"
"This should be the most powerful force in the kingdom, right?"
The crowd whispered.
Three sword masters, one strategic magician, this is the most powerful force in the kingdom today.
Now that the people of this force have finally appeared in plain sight, it is strange that no one will look at them in awe.
Especially Lige, who was standing at the front and was talking and laughing with Yuli, everyone's eyes looking at him were already solemn to the extreme.
There is no way, this is a sword saint and a strategic magician, and there are two female sword saints under his command who are loyal to him, and even the Marquis Franzel is now faintly headed by him, plus there are rumors that the shadow sword saint Rom has fallen into the hands of this one, and the strongest old sword saint in the kingdom has also been defeated in his hands, and even the rebel and usurped his father, Sorok Ginas, was killed by him in the house of Cordelion, and it was in the situation of joining forces with the one-eyed sword saint Dihart who was controlled, which made the nobles who heard all kinds of rumors shocked.
Many of the people present had listened to Riege's rumors all the way and watched him rise to the present day.
For example, the Philippine Marquis of the Charlie Rolls family, he still remembers that when he first met Rieg in the Flanzel family's home, Rig was only a promising veteran swordsman and tactical magician.
At that time, Rieg was valued enough, but not to the point of being intimidating.
Who would have thought that more than half a year later, the young man who talked to him eloquently in Franzel's house at the beginning has now climbed to the point where any nobleman or even the royal family has to look at his face and act.
"Griman wanted to compete with him before, but how dare he think about it now?"
Thinking of his personal entourage, in the crowd, Philippine, who was talking to another marquis, sighed that there was a sense of déjà vu that a generation of new people replaced old people.
There were also several people who looked at Rieger's group with complicated eyes.
For example, Albert of the Borlais family.
This knight chief, who was defeated by Li Ge with a sword and achieved his reputation as a Thunder Light Sword Saint, seems to have undergone some hard training after that, and the aura exuded from his body is getting stronger and stronger, and he has faintly already had a bit of the momentum of the Sword Saint.
Therefore, around the next generation of the Borlei family, many people from the noble family surrounded him, and not long ago there was a burst of praise, claiming that before long, the kingdom would have another sword master.
Albert is also very confident that after a while, he will be able to officially step into that realm and become a sword master.
"When the time comes, I must challenge him again."
This was what Albert had on his mind not so long ago.
But now, seeing Rieg again, Albert no longer dared to have such thoughts.
“…… He had changed, and he had become much stronger than he had been back then. ”
Albert looked at Rieg with a complicated expression, and there was a faint frustration in his heart.
Thinking that he is the descendant of the dignified Sword Saint family, he used to be a genius who enjoyed a great reputation in the Kingdom of Jinas and the surrounding countries, but since his defeat to Rieger, the name of genius no longer exists, people only remember that there is a new Sword Saint in the kingdom who is only 17 years old, but they no longer remember the Albert Borlei who was praised by them in the past and was thought to be able to become a Sword Saint before the age of 30.
This feeling really made Albert feel complicated.
He knew that he could only look up to Rige now.
After all, the other party was a super strong man who even defeated the strongest old sword saint in the kingdom, and even killed the shadow sword saint Rom.
"I'll challenge him on your behalf."
Albert remembered what his father had said after the kingdom was in turmoil.
"Yes, now only people of my father's level are qualified to challenge him."
Albert smiled wryly.
Like Albert, there was a red-haired girl who was looking at Rig with complicated eyes.
Surprisingly, it is the daughter of the Liat family, Carriega.
"Why don't you go and say hello?"
When Caliga looked at Rigg with a complicated face, beside her, Saint Charia, who was dressed in a red gown, chuckled and said something like this to her.
As the sister of St. Nidor Cordelion, the most popular candidate for the throne at present, Saint Charia is naturally qualified to attend this banquet in the absence of the Duke of Cordelion himself in the royal capital.
And Cariga is attending this banquet today as the next head of the Count of Liat's family.
Yes, Cariga will succeed as the head of her family and become the Earl of Liat.
For no other reason, the current Liat family is not only the owner of the family unfortunately killed, Carika's father died, and even the rest of the brothers and sisters who have the right to inherit have been killed one after another, and the family almost exists in name only.
With the support of the Cordelion family, Cariga, who was St. Charia's companion, was finally chosen as the next leader.
When the new king ascends the throne, she will accept the canonization and officially become the next Count of Riat.
Because the earl's family is also a big noble, Cariga, who is about to become the lord, naturally has the right to vote for the throne and is able to attend the banquet.
It stands to reason that a young and beautiful countess like her, with the support of the Cordelion family behind her, should not lack people who come to make friends at this banquet.
However......
"How can I say hello to that kind of big guy now?"
Caliga said this self-deprecatingly.
"yes." Saint Charlia did not deny this, and looked at Rieg with Caliga and sighed, "Don't say it's you, it's me, and I don't know if I'm qualified to talk to him." ”
Rigna's stunning defeat of Dihart and the slashing of Sorok in an instant is still fresh in my mind.
Thinking back to that knife, Saint Charia knew that the strength of the young man in front of her had reached an incredible realm.
What's even more incredible is that under this person's command, there are actually two female sword saints who are loyal to him and are willing to be attendants.
This force, to put it bluntly, is enough to play a pivotal role in the entire kingdom, and even the royal and duke factions now have to look at each other's faces and act.
"Now, even my brother thinks that whether the future kingdom can have a place for him depends mostly on whether this Brihaut secretary is willing or not."
"If he is unwilling, with his influence, whether it is the Franzel family, the Borlei family, or even other nobles who fear him, they may defect."
"The elder brother even thinks that whether he can sit on the throne depends on whether this branch supports him."
"If he is willing to support, three Juggernauts, one strategic mage, this power is enough to shut everyone up."
Saint Charia sighed repeatedly.
"Why was such a person picked up by that hateful Yuri Franzel?"
Saint Charlia was obsessed with this.
It can be seen from this that the current Rieg has a special status in the hearts of the people of the kingdom.
Even Caliga began to think about it.
"If he's still the same as before, ...... to me"
Thinking of this, Kaliga's eyes and expression became more complicated.
Eventually, everything has changed.
From now on, she will no longer be the eldest lady who just accompanied her and took Chephany out to have fun every day, but she needs to carry the Count of Riat, who has a prosperous family.
And the boy who looked at him with obsessive eyes and was secretly disgusted by himself will climb to her unimaginable peak.
