Looking at Du You signing his na on the official docunt, the noble mber bringing the docunts finally showed a satisfied smile.
"You keep a copy of this noble docunt, and I’ll take the rest as a backup. If the docunt or emblem gets lost, you need to go to the big city to the aristocratic managent organization to reissue it promptly. Many tis, these things are quite important. You may not realize it now, but you’ll understand once you truly imrse yourself in the circle of the empire’s nobility."
Du You, being a new noble mber, has beco one of them, so naturally, he and his associates should be polite.
Moreover, having spent such a long ti in White Stone City, he would have already absorbed the military atmosphere prevalent here, which distinguishes him from usual nobles. Even if the dostic nobility look down upon those who were promoted from pursuing the emperor’s favors, he still likes it.
After all, didn’t all those nobles rise through the ranks due to rits in battle?
"By the way, here’s your badge. You can take off the soldier badge now. The noble emblem also has a recording function, and it’s even more comprehensive. So images you don’t want others to see can be interrupted forcefully."
The other party looked at Du You with a ’you know what I an’ expression. Du You understood, that was when dealing with certain people, he could completely block the emblem from recording the scene. Even if soone inspected it later, nothing could be detected. This could indeed be regarded as an unexpected privilege of the nobility.
In other words, as a noble, when he is in the wilderness, he can fight against those who displease him. Of course, it has to be done by himself. Ordering his n to do it was not allowed.
A noble without strength, even with this privilege, is just as if they do not have it.
After becoming nobility, there are other privileges, like not having to salute other nobles when eting them, even if he himself lost his military status.
And when civilians et him, they need to salute. Or else it would be considered a disrespect to the nobility, and their death deserved if they got killed.
Well, Du You doesn’t care much about these rules, but the rules themselves illustrate the value of his newfound nobility. If it weren’t for his military rits in White Stone City, it wouldn’t be easy to beco a noble elsewhere.
Of course, his title is not hereditary, and Du You didn’t need it to be either.
Would he be hoping to leave his descendants in this world? Don’t make him laugh.
"So, are you planning to return to the Divine Fla Empire, to a major city, or will you beco an official in a province?"
Du You was a little confused, "Can’t I stay in White Stone City?" He didn’t want to go to the interior of the empire. Once he goes there, it’s safe for others, but for him, there would be no more low-level monsters to grind.
He is not suitable for those political missions, and Du You wasn’t bothered to bicker with them.
"Stay here? Are you sure about this? With your current status, hanging around with the mud-legged soldiers..." Even though the guy was a noble officer in White Stone City, he still had his noble quirks.
Du You gently nodded, "My current rank is not high, so there aren’t much privileges back ho. I want to stay here and gather more rits." Hearing Du You say this, the noble before him finally relaxed. He was genuinely worried that a noble would prefer the life of ordinary people, which would simply sar the image of their noble class.
In his eyes, since Du You has beco a noble, he’s one of them. His every move must conform to the rules of the nobility, because this is not just his personal matter.
"There’s no problem in staying, but winter is coming soon. The Sandpeople go wild during winter. At that ti, so of our operations outside the city will be very dangerous. Extrely hungry Sandpeople could even lay siege to the city."
Extrely hungry? Looks like the Sandpeople did not have an abundance of food either.
"You should know, in the desert, the days are blistering hot while the nights are unendurably cold. When winter cos, the days aren’t as hot but the nights are colder. Even with the physical resilience of the Sandpeople, they are likely to freeze to death. Coupled with the lack of food, a lot of Sandpeople group together in winter and attack the Divine Fla Empire from different locations."
"Can White Stone City resist them?" Du You was a little surprised.
"White Stone City can certainly resist, but if it’s a small band of Sandpeople, they can completely bypass the city by traversing mountains and valleys, which we may not be able to stop entirely. So this is the ti to purge the Sandpeople."
"Your strength and fa have a certain foundation, and perhaps White Stone City will force you to take on tasks when the ti cos. As a noble, you certainly have the right to refuse, but if you do, your reputation will suffer."
A good reputation is a positive thing as it could help one effortlessly achieve their goals. However, it could also create great obstacles if not handled well. But would Du You be afraid of that? He ca here to level up on low-level monsters.
Hearing this demand, Du You was more than willing. "No problem, I agree to it."
The man stared wide-eyed in disbelief at Du You, seemingly unable to understand his choice.
Although he had been living in White Stone City for a while, being a noble, he would not chat with soldiers and therefore didn’t understand their feelings deep down.
Moreover, he just carried out his work and enjoyed his life here in these over the years, so there was no chance he would be on the battlefield. His second tier standing out brightly demonstrated just that.
If it weren’t for his decent talent, he wouldn’t even have reached this level. At this level, if the warfare broke out in White Stone City, he would be the cannon fodder of all cannon fodder, complete suicide.
"All right, I will convey your decision."
The man packed up his things, looked deeply at Du You, and then turned and left.
However, the directive was issued faster than Du You expected. That night, the order was already in Du You’s hands. He had just returned to rest for one day. Although Du You didn’t care about one day, he ca to this world just to stay busy.
"Winter extermination order. Need to exterminate the Sandpeople from the outside villages and gathering places. Didn’t expect such an order, but I like it. Just when I ran out of Crystal Coins. Right, I seem to forget to take a treasure chest."
Du You suddenly rembered that when the noble docunts were brought over, the panel reminded him that he had completed a hidden task.
Hidden Task: Collection of griffin eggs completed.
Yes, that’s it. Checking the task description, to complete the task of collecting griffin eggs, you needed to gather more than a hundred eggs. If the number was less, this hidden task would not appear, keeping Du You none the wiser.
