Chapter 925: Chapter 873: Duke William’s Bestowal of a Surna for Recruitnt
Da Fei finally arrived at Elk Manor which, rather than a manor, was more like a fortress built in the forest.
The guards at the fort’s entrance stared in surprise at Da Fei striding forward. Da Fei didn’t wait for them to speak and directly took out the Duke’s card given by the bishop: "I have an urgent matter to et with Duke William!"
Without waiting for the guards’ response, an NPC who seed to be a steward shouted from inside the city gate: "Welco, honored guest!"
Honored guest! It seems the bishop has indeed negotiated things. Da Fei hurriedly said, "I am pressed for ti and need to discuss the most crucial matters with the Duke imdiately."
The steward smiled and said, "The Duke is always ready to discuss important matters with honored guests. Sir, please co in quickly!"
Hence, Da Fei followed the steward quickly into the fortress, which looked like a garden, and then saw sothing resembling a Teleportation Array at the fountain square in the garden.
So that’s how it is, they indeed have an internal Teleportation Array, this way I don’t have to endlessly search for a toilet.
Then, Da Fei t a thin, frail middle-aged human at the entrance hall of the luxurious manor, wearing gold curls and a narrow ceremonial dress adorned with treasure beads, and holding a gemstone-capped staff.
Da Fei’s eyebrows jumped in surprise. Is this a person who would fall over with a gust of wind?
The steward, surprised, said, "Duke, how co you ca out in person?" Then quickly turned to Da Fei and said, "Warrior, this is Duke William."
Before Da Fei could speak, the frail middle-aged man reached out eagerly and said, "Are you Mr. Da Fei? I heard you’ve embarked on a mission for the Elf Kingdom, but didn’t expect to et you visiting now, forgive the inadequate welco!"
He really is the Duke! Wasn’t it said he’s in his thirties? As Da Fei shook his gaunt hand, his heart shook deeply; how is this hand different from that of an old man on his last legs? This instant, Da Fei thought of the dwarf hero Hangeval saved from jail. It seems the Duke has been tortured beyond recognition over the years! Well, tortured by Lilim, that’s almost romantic even as a ghost.
Without skipping a beat, Da Fei presented the golden bear fur as a greeting gift: "Duke, I happened to encounter this monster blocking the road on my way and took care of it."
The Duke laughed heartily, "No wonder the bishop speaks so highly of the hero. Excellent! Steward, prepare a gift to thank the gentleman imdiately!"
"Yes, my lord!" The steward took the bear skin and hurried away.
Not bad, hopefully the gift is worth a bottle of Dragon Blood Potion. Da Fei directly said, "Duke, nice to et you for the first ti! Or perhaps not the first ti. I don’t have much ti; I ca from the sea passing through Nightmare Space back to the city. I have to return before sunrise when the Nightmare Space portal closes, so I’ll be direct. I have a request that involves your power.
The Duke hurriedly said, "Please speak."
Da Fei said directly, "Nightmare Space is temporarily under my control, and I want to develop it. I need many children to add material to Nightmare Space through painting, imagining, or dreaming. Once I fully control Nightmare Space, I can rescue your soul sealed by the demons."
The Duke trembled excitedly and asked, "I heard you’ve engaged my soul in battle. What’s its strength like?"
Indeed, longing for his lost power! Yes, that’s the effect I’m aiming for.
Da Fei replied solemnly, "It was a Poker Aces Hero, very strong! Were it not for the strong angel in the array and a large Poker Reserve, I couldn’t have repelled it! So, Duke, the opportunity is in our hands. I need your full cooperation!"
The Duke, choked with emotion, said, "Countless nights, I’ve dread of the place where flas and poker fly, waking in terror from the burning lava. I’ve had enough! That scene is etched in my mind!" Then, gritting his teeth, said, "Tell , sir, how many children do you need?"
Hey, hey, don’t make it sound like I’m the bad guy harming children!
Da Fei said solemnly, "The more, the better! The sooner, the better. The torntor might be the high-level demoness Lilim, who might return to Nightmare Space at any ti."
The Duke replied gravely, "Very well, I will go all out, even if it ans selling all my assets to accomplish this."
Da Fei smiled, "Great, with your word, I can return imdiately." anwhile, he glanced around, thinking the steward was too slow!
The Duke imdiately said, "There’s still so ti before dawn. Please wait a mont to express my gratitude! By the way, I’m curious about your flawless disguise. Generally, Divine Artifact can’t achieve such great efficacy, right?"
Truly worthy of a Duke, recognizing valuable things! Showing off before soone knowledgeable is very satisfying!
Da Fei laughed, "Duke, you have good eyes. This Divine Artifact constantly absorbs Demon God power to maintain its function."
The Duke nodded, "I see! It completely changes one’s appearance. Does your disguise have an identity or na?"
Da Fei was startled, "Disguise has an identity na?"
The Duke replied, smiling, "Of course! Just like spies with aliases, those with dual citizenship often have dual identities."
Disguise has such intricacies? Da Fei wondered, "My disguise should be naless."
The Duke replied, "In that case, how about I arrange an identity for your disguise? This identity will be recognized anywhere in the Bright Alliance."
Da Fei nodded blankly, "Sure, sure, it’s always nice to have an official surna."
The Duke laughed and said, "That’s great then! From now on, your surna will be Nicholas Steel Hand! You can choose your own first na, how about it?"
Da Fei’s eyebrows jumped in surprise, "Nicholas!? Is this a Royal Family surna of the Lionheart Empire?"
The Duke said gravely, "Royal Family can bestow their surna upon their most loyal and valiant knights. If you accept, you’ll be my knight in na. Nicholas is the family’s surna, whereas Steel Hand signifies your knightly status, distinguishing you from the rightful Princes and Princesses. These two surnas are enough to express your identity, and the first na you choose doesn’t need to appear in any occasion."
