Dafei finally arrived at the Elk Manor. Rather than calling it a manor, it would be more accurate to call it a fortress built in the forest.
The guard at the entrance of the fortress stared at Dafei in surprise. Dafei did not wait for him to say anything and took out Duke's name card given to him by the bishop. "I have an important matter to discuss with Lord Duke William!"
Before the guard could reply, an NPC who looked like a butler shouted from the gate, "Welcome the distinguished guest!"
Distinguished guest! It seemed that the bishop had indeed settled the matter. Dafei hurriedly said, "I'm pressed for time. I have to meet Duke immediately to discuss the most important matter."
The butler smiled and said, "Duke can discuss important matters with the distinguished guest at any time. Sir, please come in!"
So Dafei hurriedly followed the butler into the garden-like interior of the fortress. Then Dafei saw something that looked like a teleportation circle in the garden's fountain square.
So that's how it is. They really do have an internal teleportation circle. So I don't have to find a toilet to drown.
Then, Dafei saw a skinny middle-aged man with golden curly hair and a jeweled cane in his hand. He was wearing a narrow suit with jewel ribbons and was holding a jeweled cane at the main entrance of the inner hall of the luxurious manor.
Dafei's eyebrows jumped. Who is this guy that can be blown away by the wind?
The butler said in surprise, "Lord Duke, why are you out in person?" He immediately turned to Dafei and said, "Warrior, this is Lord Duke William."
Without waiting for Dafei to speak, the middle-aged man excitedly stepped forward and shook hands with him. "Is it Mr Dafei? I heard that you have gone to sea to complete an important mission for the Kingdom of the Elves, but I did not expect to meet you here. Please forgive me for not welcoming you well! "
It really was Duke! Didn't they say he was thirty? When Dafei held his skinny hand, he was even more shocked. What was the difference between this hand and the hand of an old man with one foot in the grave? In that instant, Dafei remembered the dwarf hero Hangevar whom he had just rescued from prison. In other words, Duke had been tortured to the point where he didn't even look human anymore! Alright, to be tortured by Lilim, he would still be a playboy even if he became a ghost.
Dafei cut to the chase and took out the golden bear pelt as a greeting gift. "Lord Duke, I met this monster on the way, so I took care of it."
Duke laughed heartily and said, "As expected of a hero praised by the bishop. Good! Housekeeper, go and prepare a gift for Mister! "
"Yes, my lord!" The butler took the bearskin and left in a hurry.
Not bad, I hope this gift is worth a bottle of Dragon Blood Potion. Dafei said, "Lord Duke, nice to meet you! Perhaps it's not the first time we've met. I don't have much time. I'm returning to the city from the sea through the Realm of Nightmare. I have to teleport back before the exit of the Realm of Nightmare closes at daybreak. So, I'll be straightforward. I have a request, and it's closely related to Duke's power. "
Duke hurriedly said, "Mister, please speak."
Dafei said directly, "The Realm of Nightmare is temporarily occupied by me. I want to develop the Realm of Nightmare. I need a large number of children to add substance to the Realm of Nightmare through painting, imagination, or dreams. As long as I have complete control of the Realm of Nightmare, I will have the ability to rescue Lord Duke's sealed soul."
Duke trembled with excitement. "Mister, I heard that you've fought with my soul? How strong is he? "
As expected, it was a longing for the power it had lost! Not bad, this is the effect I want.
Dafei said seriously, "It's a poker ace hero, very strong! If it weren't for the powerful angels and a large number of poker cards, I wouldn't have been able to defeat him! So, Lord Duke, the opportunity is now in our hands. I need your full help! "
Duke sobbed and said, "Countless nights, I've dreamed of that place of fire and poker cards, and every time I'd wake up to the burning lava. I've had enough! That scene is engraved in my heart! "Then he gritted his teeth and said," Tell me, mister, how many children do you need? "
Hey, don't make me sound like a bad person who harms children!
Dafei said seriously, "The more the better! The sooner the better. The one torturing Duke could be the high-level banshee Lilim. She could come back to the Realm of Nightmare at any time. "
Duke said in a low voice, "Very well, I will do my best. Even if I have to sell all of my assets, I will make this happen."
Dafei smiled and said, "Good, with Lord Duke's word, I can go back immediately." As he spoke, he looked left and right. This butler was too slow, wasn't he?
Duke immediately said, "There's still some time before dawn. Please wait a moment to express my gratitude! By the way, I want to know, mister's disguise is flawless. I'm afraid that even a normal divine artifact can't achieve such a miraculous effect, right? "
As expected of Duke, you really know what's good! The more you show off in front of someone who knows what's good, the greater the sense of accomplishment!
Dafei smiled and said, "Lord Duke has a good eye. When my divine artifact is activated, it constantly absorbs demonic power to maintain itself."
Duke nodded and said, "I see! This is like a completely different person. Then, does mister's disguise have any identity or name? "
Dafei couldn't help but be stunned, "Disguise also has an identity and name?"
Duke smiled and said, "Of course! Just like how spies in disguise have aliases, those who are of different races and nationalities also have double identities. "
So disguises are so particular? Dafei was surprised and said, "My disguise should be nameless, right?"
Duke smiled and said, "Since that's the case, how about I arrange an identity for mister's disguise? This identity will be recognized everywhere in the Radiant Alliance. "
Dafei nodded blankly and said, "Sure, it's always good to have an official name."
Duke smiled and said, "That's great! Then from now on, mister's surname will be Nicholas? Forged Steel Hands! You can choose your own name, how about it? "
Dafei's eyebrows jumped in surprise and said, "Nicholas?! Is that the surname of the Lionheart Empire's royal family? "
Duke said seriously, "The royal family can bestow the surname of their most loyal and ferocious guards. If you accept, then you will now be my nominal guard. Nicholas is the surname of the royal family. Forged Steel Hands indicates your identity as a guard and is different from the surnames of the other princes and princesses. These two surnames are enough to express your identity. The name you choose can be used in any situation. "
— System prompt: William Duke has bestowed the surname "Nicholas? Forged Steel Hands ", do you accept?
Dafei was so shocked that his jaw dropped to the ground! What the f * ck, he took me in as his confidant as soon as we met! They were both Duke, but why was there such a big difference between William and Teacher Makar? In the end, it was because Makar was not human!
Alright, I have also climbed to the top of the human race's Crown Prince. Moreover, when he is in a difficult situation, he listens to me and listens to me. This is what it means to meet a wise master, wahahaha!
Dafei said, "Alright, thank you, Lord Duke, for thinking so highly of me. In that case, I should help Lord Duke solve his problems."
Duke was overjoyed and said, "With your help, there is hope for me to recover!"
At this moment, the butler finally appeared with a box. "Lord Duke, the reward has been received."
The Duke personally opened the box and took out a document from inside. He said with a sigh, "I've posted a reward in the town. Whoever can kill this crazy bear that harmed my manor, I'll give the management rights of the manor to that person. I'll only take 50% of the shares. Now that the bear has been killed by Mister, the management rights should belong to Mister. So, may I ask which name Mister would like to transfer the management rights of the forest to? I suggest you give it to my name. That way, when you are not around, we can help you manage it. "
Dafei was so shocked that his eyebrows jumped. No way! Killing a bear and giving away property? Wasn't this reward too crazy? No matter how powerful a Boss was, even a demigod would not be able to fight against an army! Moreover, this bear had not reached the level of a demigod. What was so special about this territory?
Dafei said in shock, "Can't Duke send an army to destroy this bear? Is there a need to pay such a huge reward? "
Duke shook his head and sighed. "This bear hides in an alternate dimension and is extremely sensitive to armies and magic. As long as these two appear, he will never appear. He must rely on the Warriors to fight alone, which is extremely difficult. In short, this bear's origins are complicated. There is no time to finish. Sir, you should decide on the ownership of the forest. "
It seemed that it was not entirely Mad God's fault. Alright, anyway, I picked up a property for free and have no energy to manage it. I'll do as you say.
Dafei smiled. "Then use the name bestowed!"
System Notification: You have used the bestowed name "Nicholas? Forged Steel Hands "to take over the management rights of the Elk Manor. You will receive 50% of the shares.
Haha, wahahaha! Awesome!
Dafei was satisfied. "Alright, time is of the essence. I'll go back first."
Duke smiled. "Now that our manor's teleportation portal is open to you, you can go back through it. I wish you a smooth voyage, Sir! "
"Thank you for your kindness, sir!"
Dafei waved his hand and hurriedly stepped onto the teleportation portal. With a flash of light, he returned to Bucks Town Square. Dafei's heart skipped a beat. He stopped to listen to the response.
As expected, the town channel was still full of curses. "Idiot Mad God's Guild, they failed to book the place! Serves them right! "
"Mad God's Guild's players, hurry up and leave. Otherwise, a large guild will come to clear the place in a few days. This is called an eye for an eye. Don't say I didn't remind you!"
Dafei sighed inwardly. These guilds, which were neither big nor small, were actually the most mediocre. If they lost once, it was very likely that they would disband. In that case, they might as well disband.
Then, he teleported all the way back to God's Punishment City. Then, under the stunned gaze of the Archangel, he walked out of the hall and entered the Realm of Nightmare.
At this time, Elda could not help but say anxiously, "Sir, time is running out. If a war breaks out in the Realm of Nightmare, the exit might close early."
Close early? Don't scare me! Dafei hurriedly said, "Alright, I've settled the matter with Duke. Pay attention to the progress of the Realm in the future."
Elda nodded. "Got it!"
Dafei hurriedly entered the Nightmare Dream. The scene changed. The scene before Dafei's eyes was a blur. He was back in the tavern of the Glorious Wings.
Hilda clapped her hands. The group of beauties in the tavern bowed. "Welcome back, Sir!"
Hilda smiled. "Have a safe journey while you're away."
Dafei could not help but let out a long sigh of relief. It was the Nether Sea, but it felt like home. Great!
