Viscount Mursa was inexplicably annoyed by these words. He turned his head abruptly, only to see an excessively young face.
The hidden ridicule in the other's eyes made him very uncomfortable. Mursa just glanced at him and immediately classified him as some young nobleman who did not know the immensity of heaven and earth. He said in a deep voice, "You are not qualified to speak here, young man."
"What if … I am?"
Roddy's expression was still the same. His indifferent answer made Mursa even more on the verge of exploding. In fact, a few of the lords around had seen Roddy before, but his appearance and temperament had changed a lot from before. In addition, people thought that he was long dead, so they could not recognize him for a while and did not say anything.
Quentin and the others who had been looking for Roddy finally confirmed his location. They wanted to go over, but because of the power of Viscount Mursa and the other lords next to him, they did not dare to approach him.
"What is he going to do? Quarrel with Viscount Mursa? Is he crazy? "
Lucy whispered worriedly. Basta who was next to her was unhappy and scolded in a low voice, "This guy really doesn't know what's good for him!"
Quentin did not say anything. He just stared at Roddy.
"No matter how much you say, it's just 'if'. Roddy will not be resurrected, and you are not qualified to stand in front of me and ask such questions." Mursa turned to look at the butler next to the Dukes Of Angmar and said rudely, "How can this guy who came out of nowhere enter the venue?"
He did not ask Angmar, but deliberately pressured Butler John who was in charge of the banquet. This was a common tactic used by nobles: as a servant, John could not refute a viscount. Even if he had complaints, he could only obediently throw this ignorant young man out.
Mursa was not interested in talking nonsense with a "small character." He was now anxious about how to deal with Angmar, but he did not expect … Butler John shook his head expressionlessly and replied with his eyes lowered, "I'm afraid I can't do that, Viscount Mursa. He is one of the most important guests of this banquet."
"What?"
Mursa was stunned and then turned to look at Angmar. This Duke took a step forward and said calmly, "Actually, the purpose of this banquet is to introduce him to everyone …
"Four months ago, he defeated the Orcs and led a team of 100 Wolf Riders, saving Sora Outpost from danger."
"He found the ancient city of the High Elves outside the border, killed the 'Frost Baron' Belom, and wiped out the undead army, and became the new master of this city.
"Going back even further, he once led an army deep into the Orc Kingdom and killed more than 500 Orc enemies before retreating unscathed."
"In this year, he saved my life. He also saved Bishop Reubens and Bishop Benjamin. Of course, I'm most grateful to him because he saved my daughter, Sally, more than once."
"In this year, he saved my life, and also saved Governor Rubens and Bishop Benjamin. Of course, what I am most grateful to him … is that he saved my daughter, Sally, and not just once."
Angmar's voice was not loud, but it was enough for most of the people in the quiet hall to hear him. When he said these words, the hall inevitably began to whisper.
They were not shocked, but they did not believe what Duke said at all. "Believe it or not, I have to thank him …" He stepped in front of Mursa and reached out to pat Roddy's shoulder. He softly said the name that many people feared and even feared. "The kingdom has officially recognized your identity as the lord of Elsen City and will grant you the title of 'Baron'. So … welcome back to Eiferta, Roddy."
"How is that possible!?"
"Utter nonsense!"
"How can the dead come back to life?"
There were countless exclamations, followed by uncontrollable whispers. When the nobles who had seen Roddy changed their expressions and confirmed that the Roddy in front of them was not fictional, something quickly fermented and brewed in the crowd.
In just ten seconds, the surroundings fell into an indescribable panic. As the focus of the venue, Roddy's expression did not change much at this time. He just took a step towards Viscount Mursa and asked calmly, "So, now am I qualified to stand here and talk to you, Viscount Mursa?"
In the suffocating silence, Viscount Mursa's lips trembled. Finally, he took a deep breath and left without any face.
He left not simply because of shame, but because he really understood that the last possibility of him and these lords joining forces to fight against Angmar had been completely shattered!
Instead of staying here to continue to suffer humiliation, it was better to take the initiative to avoid it. So Mursa chose to leave immediately. Next to him, Gruul and the other lords tried to hide the fear in their eyes, but they no longer dared to make eye contact with Roddy.
"Mursa is old. It's normal to let him rest." Dukes Of Angmar waved his hand casually. "Everyone, continue. Don't spoil the fun."
Roddy showed a smile. Duke was not a lord who could swallow humiliation. Just now, he looked calm and collected, but after revealing Roddy's identity to the public, he could not hide the feeling of carefreeness.
The music sounded again, but no one wanted to dance. Many people were secretly squeezing over here. "Which one is?", "The youngest one?", "Is he Roddy?" These kinds of questions came one after another.
At this moment, it also meant that Roddy had completely exposed himself to the eyes of Eiffta and even the Kingdom of Karen.
And not far from Roddy, Lucy, who had her mouth slightly open, had been standing there for more than a few minutes. Her chest was heaving, and because of excitement, there was a lingering flush on her cheeks. The little fatty Basta had already hidden away because of fear.
Quentin, who was not tall, looked at the figure who was talking and laughing with Duke, and whispered the words that had completely changed him — "Those who make the whole world quiet down and listen to their whispers are even more formidable."
The young heir clenched his fists slightly, and his still young face showed some determination that had never been seen before.
The nobles present had gradually recovered from the shock. The nobles who had been holding onto all kinds of wishful thinking suddenly felt that it was meaningless. In less than ten minutes, there were already nobles who could not bear the psychological pressure and hurriedly left with their wives and daughters.
As for Roddy and Angmar, they met again after half a year, and there was no longer any formality in their conversation.
"You look good."
"It's just 'looks' … I don't know how long it can last."
Roddy could clearly sense the changes in the Dukes Of Angmar's body … His body was abnormally weak, and he was probably at the end of his tether. In order to quell the Eiffel Tower's banquet, the "strength" he had displayed before was probably a forced posture after overdrafting his body.
Thinking of this, Roddy couldn't help but sigh for the old man's painstaking efforts. He didn't say anything unnecessary and said softly, "Leave the rest to me. Your health is more important. Go back and rest for a while."
Roddy gestured to John beside him. Duke did not decline, but used his loose palm to pat Roddy's shoulder again. He nodded, excused himself to the nobles around him, and slowly left with the butler's help …
After sending off Duke, Roddy greeted Wellington's Titus and talked about the training of the cavalry in Paar territory. Then, he talked with the elderly Bishop Noir for a while, took the dagger and the ring, and then casually strolled around the venue.
After a simple glance around, he realized that almost no nobles dared to look him in the eye. This might be a sign of his "fierce reputation". But Roddy wasn't interested in chatting with anyone. Instead, he strolled around and inspected the rewards.
The [Quest Panel] indicated that the [Eiffel Crisis] mission had been completed, and the tens of thousands of experience points were better than nothing. But what he didn't expect was that the "Holy Edict" issued by the Pope not only rewarded him with a "Ring of Pardon", but also changed the title of "Devout"!
[Devout]
"Rose Cross" Reputation automatically increased to [Reverence]. Has the treatment of clergy, equivalent to [Priest].
Effect of divine blessing increased by 40% (Remains the same after switching).
Obtained skill: [Holy Light Affinity]
Usage: Within 10 seconds, the effect of healing skills will be increased by 100%.
Skill cooldown: 2 minutes.
Compared to before, the Holy Light Affinity skill was undoubtedly the biggest change. The buff effect had also increased from 30% to 40%. However, what Rody cared about the most was not these. What he cared about the most was the words, 'He will have the treatment of a priest and will be treated like a priest'.
What kind of treatment does a priest receive in "Rose Cross"?
As the lowest rank of clergy, the treatment of "priest" meant that Roddy could directly use some of the resources of "Rose Cross". For example, he could use the communication network of "Rose Cross" to obtain or provide certain information, he could use the carriage provided by the parish, he could have four Templars as guards, and he could "preach" and so on …
In short, the reward of "Rose Cross" this time was indeed generous. It seemed insignificant, but from now on, Roddy could receive the support of "Rose Cross" in all the parishes in the kingdom!
This was far more useful than a few attributes.
He closed [Title Orchid] and opened [Inventory]. The words [Ring of Pardon] and [Blade of Purification] were shining.
