Chapter 54: You Must Look at This
"Don't be in a hurry to refuse," Odeqi said with a smile, "There is no need to bear any responsibility to become the honorary lord of our family, in addition to this, you will also receive a large area and fertile land in the marquisate, as well as an annual maintenance money of 10,000 gold coins, and you do not need to pay taxes to anyone."
As long as it does not violate the laws of the kingdom, the people of the territory of Odezi will fully support all your decisions. ”
Perhaps afraid that the innocent girl in front of him would not understand, Odeqi hinted again: "Even if you are in the gray edge area, our marquisate still supports all your decisions.
These are not verbal support, decrees, resources, etc., will be mobilized by your decision to complete some construction that is beneficial to the kingdom, and our family also has strong energy in the kingdom's noble council to help you within the kingdom. ”
Odezi's hint was so obvious that Noelle couldn't have understood what the other person was saying.
She wasn't interested in money, territory, politics, resources, etc., but it was the vague support that made Noelle a little more interested.
"Can I mobilize the military power of the entire marquisate when dealing with certain monsters?"
Odyssey raised his eyebrows, the girl's words seem to be very straightforward, but who does the 'monster' refer to?
Thinking of Noelle's exaggerated combat power, Odeqi gritted his teeth and said, "Of course, if it is only against 'monsters', the kingdom will also support it." ”
Noelle nodded, "What do I have to give?" ”
"There is no need for anything," Odezi's face smiled brightly, "I just hope that when we declare you to be the honorary lord of our marquisate, you will not deny it." ”
Since Noelle came into the world, she has learned certain truths from Nita, such as seemingly ordinary decisions that often have deeper meanings.
Odeqi used all the resources in the realm and the royal court of the kingdom to invite her to become an honorary lord, which was essentially an exchange of interests, but for now, it was a 'win-win' decision.
Odyssey was able to gain more influence in the kingdom through her strength, and she also received practical benefits, if she was really the natives of this world, this proposal seemed full of temptation.
For Noelle today, as long as she agrees, she has the opportunity to use Odeqi's military power to clear the goblins in her territory.
After all, no matter how powerful she is, there is only one person, and for a monster like Goblin that lives in ruins, caves, and underground, and is extremely scattered, her personal efficiency is extremely low.
To be honest, she also wanted to become a platinum adventurer after killing the Demon God King from the beginning, so as to borrow the power of the kingdom and even the coalition army to destroy the goblins, otherwise...... Where did she fulfill her outrageous wish to 'kill all the goblins'?
However, even if she can really mobilize the military power of the coalition in the end, it is still unknown whether she will be able to kill all the monsters like goblins.
Seeing that Noelle was thinking seriously, Odeqi was not in a hurry, picked up the teacup and took a sip of black tea, and quietly waited for the girl to make a decision.
After a while, Noelle raised his head and looked directly at Odysse, "I still need to think about it." ”
"Yes," Odyssey said with a smile, not minding, "I have a long-term offer, and you are always welcome to join our marquisate, Miss Noelle." ”
Next, the two exchanged opinions on how to deal with the demon king army in the east of the city, and when the tea in the cup was cold, Odeqi got up and sent Noelle out of the study.

Odyssey sat back in the thick chair and stretched, his tight gown framing his breathtaking curves.
"It's a pity, it's a pity that Noelle is not a man, no, it's a pity, I'm not a man." Odezi smacked his lips and closed his eyes in silence.
Now she is no longer anxious about the war in the Eastern Front City, but thinking about how to exchange what benefits she can get from Noelle, the chosen son.
'Noelle, Noelle...... For such powerful people, the more resources our marquis gives, the better it is. ’
Bang bang ~ regular knocking on the door, let Odezi know who is coming.
"Enter!"
The housekeeper walked in and whispered, "Lord Marquis, the great knight from the Temple of Mother Earth is in contact with Miss Noelle, and we ......"
Odeqi waved his hand, "Don't stop it, we can't stop it, presumably in a few days, the entire coalition force will know about the existence of this powerful man." ”
Odeqi opened his eyes and smiled at the corners of his mouth, "I believe that the price I gave is better than theirs." ”
——————
Marquis Palace Room.
Just as Noelle waved off the maid and was about to change out of her dress and wash, the maid on duty passed through the small room: "My lord, there is a knight at the door who claims to be Augsig who wants to meet you. ”
"Augsg......" Noelle whispered, "let him in." ”
In a moment, a tall young man dressed in a temple robe walked into the small reception room next to the guest room, and the small coffee table was filled with refreshments prepared by the maid, and Noelle sat quietly on the rattan chair next to the small coffee table.
Seeing Noelle alone again, the girl did not have the terrifying smell of blood on the battlefield at all, but the honey fragrance of black tea wafting from the girl, and the fragrance of roses emanating from the girl's body.
She is not like an invincible Valkyrie on the battlefield, but like the eldest lady of the Marquis's mansion.
The sense of disconnection between the before and after was formed in Augsgo's mind, so that the great knight stood still, motionless.
"You may be seated." Noelle gestured with his head, which woke Augsig awake.
"I'm sorry." Augsg sat down, but out of respect for the suspected chosen son of Mother Earth, Orton's ass was only halfway sitting, his upper body straight, his eyes not squinting, as if he were listening to the bishop's teachings.
"It's really easy to be nervous and mentally tired on the battlefield." Orton saw Noelle's lips lightly, "When I see familiar people and things, I can understand when I am occasionally immersed in them." ”
"Yes, I take your teachings to heart." Og bowed his head slightly.
This action suddenly made Noelle feel bad, she had never been interested in being a good teacher, she just wanted to excuse Augsig's daze at will, how could it be like this?
"You ......," Noelle considered his words, "is there something going on?" ”
Augsig's brain was running at great speed, and he had already thought of everything before he came, but at this moment, sitting across from the girl, he had forgotten what to say!
"Ahem~" Augsig raised his head, "Your Excellency Noelle, I believe you know that I am from the Temple of Mother Earth, I grew up listening to the teachings of Mother Earth God in the monastery of the Temple, and later I lived up to expectations and became the Grand Knight of the Temple......"
Augsig wondered in his heart, how did he feel, after Noelle heard what he said, the expression on his pretty face seemed to have a hint of ...... Envy?
I must have read it wrong. Augsig denied it in his heart, did not dare to look at the girl's expression, and continued:
"I ask for your forgiveness for being rude to you before."
'He came to see me to tell me this?' Noelle was puzzled, but he still comforted: "There is nothing rude, at that time, in that kind of environment, each other did not know each other's combat strength, everything was task-oriented, it was right, you did nothing wrong." Also, we are almost the same generation, so don't use honorific titles anymore. ”
Augsgo's eyes were red, and the girl's gentle words were like a spring breeze blowing into his heart, which he had only felt in the abbot's grandmother in the monastery since he was a child, but ...... The girl in front of him looked younger than him.
This kind of emotional and tangled mood made Augsig twist all over, and he couldn't raise his head in front of Noelle.
The temptations he had designed in his heart were all discarded, and Augsig eased his emotions and said directly: "Thank you for your understanding. In fact, I came to disturb you tonight, mainly because I felt the breath of Mother Earth God in you. ”
"I see." Noelle suddenly remembered that her power came from the Eye of the Rock Elemental, that is, the 'power of the rock', and this power came from the earth after all, and in Augsge's opinion, there was nothing wrong with her carrying the breath of the Earth Mother Goddess.
"You...... Have you received the divine revelation of Mother Earth? Augsig looked slightly excited, "Can you tell me about the greatness of the gods?" ”
Augsg is full of expectations, the Earth Mother God is mostly guarded, even if there are heroes from the Earth Mother Temple who participated in the history of sealing the Demon God King, most of them exist as auxiliary forces, and there has never been such a powerful combat force as Noelle.
It is impossible not to be excited about this 'homologous' force.
"No, I've never seen a god in this world......"
What Noelle said later, Augsig had no intention of listening, he didn't believe that the girl who could have such a powerful homologous power was not from the Temple of Mother Earth......

I don't know how long it took for Augsig to wake up when he noticed the sound of the teacup that Noelle had put down.
"Excuse me...... I ......," Augsig tried to adjust his mind, "you must come to the Temple of Mother Earth, where you may have a new revelation and the blessings of the gods will be with you." ”
With that, Augsg hurriedly got up and left, and it was obvious that he had not expected this result at all.
Following.
The capital, the Temple of Mother Earth.
The temple's wide stained glass refracts sunlight into strange colors that fill the interior of this stately temple.
"Your Excellency! Your Excellency! There was a rush of footsteps accompanied by an eager shout, and a young priest burst into the quiet and peaceful temple.
The Bishop of the Earth Mother Temple, who was praying, frowned, got up and said softly: "Lembes, I said that no matter what you do, you must keep a calm mind, how can you serve the gods sincerely?" ”
"I'm very sorry, Bishop." The young priest bowed his head and admitted his mistake, and took out a shadow magic stone from his arms, his expression was unprecedentedly solemn and serious.
"This is the news that the Grand Knight of Augsg has rushed over from the Eastern Front."
The bishop was expressionless and motionless, as if to say, 'That's it?' ’
Rumbeth's voice could not hide the excitement:
"You've got to check this out."
