"Baron, this is a welcome gift. The object of the ceremony is the nobles whose identity is similar to yours!" A young woman with a good face said to David gracefully.
The young woman was the etiquette teacher invited by housekeeper Jason, a descendant of a declining aristocrat, whose name was ufimia.
Eufemia was born in an aristocratic family, but the previous generation failed to retain the noble title. In addition, due to the poor economy, she could only make use of the noble etiquette she had learned from her childhood.
There are not many aristocrats like eufemia. Not all nobles are ancient families like the Luce family. As long as there are descendants, they can always inherit the title.
Generally speaking, the succession of nobility's title needs diminishing succession, just like a Duke who wants to transfer his title to his son, then the title inherited by the son can only be reduced by one level and can only be inherited to the rank of marquis.
When the title reached the lowest Lord, and then downward inheritance will be removed from the nobility, become ordinary people.
Of course, if the knights in a family can have a part of the power of the aristocrat, they can not retain a part of the aristocratic title.
The Luce family, an ancient family, has its own particularity. After being demoted to the Baron rank, it will not be demoted again. Therefore, Baroness is also the lowest rank in the ancient family.
As for the promotion of knighthood, it needs to make a corresponding contribution, or have enough territory.
Territory is a special form of God belonging to the big world. When a nobleman has a territory beyond a certain limit, he can become a Lord.
The actual masters of the god world are many lords, but usually these lords only pay attention to the affairs of the territory, and do not personally participate in the affairs of the god world.
But in the event of a major event, the Lords would gather together to determine the affairs of God in the great world.
It is the Supreme Council that normally deals with the affairs of God's great world. All the members in it are actually representatives of the Lords.
This strange social structure, in David's view, is easy to cause chaos and social unrest, but God belongs to the big world but appears to be in order.
It's all because God belongs to the big world and there's a greater being, God!
The gods are the masters of the great world, and a balance is formed between the Lord and the God's representative temple.
"Baron, please pay attention!" Eufemia warned.
David steadied his mind. He put aside the things that he had in mind. Ufimia was very strict.
For the first time, David knew that the original etiquette would be so complicated. It was just like meeting and saluting. Different people need to give different gifts.
Some rituals seem to be the same at first, but there are great differences in the subtle gestures.
He can't help but be glad that he didn't take part in the activities of the nobility. Otherwise, with his understanding of etiquette now, he will be very impolite.
Maybe David will become a joke in the aristocratic circle because of a cocktail party. He may not care about this, but he needs to have a good reputation for being in the god world and using Arthur's identity in the future.
After practicing the road of knighthood, David felt that a new world was opening up to him. He was supposed to get the cultivation inheritance of Luce family, so he tried to go to warstar and return to the interstellar Federation from there.
But after he got the cultivation inheritance and the knight enlightenment, he realized the complexity of Knight training, and he needed the environment of the great world of God.
"Master Housekeeper Jason burst in and bowed to David.
"What can I do for you?" When David saw housekeeper Jason come in, he knew that something must have happened. Otherwise, with Jason's housekeeper's character, he could not disturb his etiquette study.
"The Minister of investigation of the noble affairs office wants to see you, and the Minister of Gershwin aristocracy affairs is coming with you!" The housekeeper replied.
David had heard from the Gershman aristocracy minister that there might be investigators from the noble affairs office.
"I'm sorry, Ms. yofemia. I think I need to excuse me for a moment." David turned his head and apologized to ufemia.
"Baron, your learning ability is very strong, the apology is very standard!" Eufemia chuckled and saluted.
"Master, this time, there is also the Lord of kaguer in Jianmo city. I think the Minister of investigation has a bad intention!" Housekeeper Jason and David walked out of the practice room, quietly reminded.
David frowned. The position of the Lord of Kagle was very special. He was under the count of bunker, who managed the city of kemore on behalf of count Bonk.
The count of bunker is the most powerful aristocrat in Dashen, who owns a large amount of land, and even the city of Jianmo is owned by this count of bunker.
It can be said that half of the land and resources of the whole planet of Dashen belong to the count of bunker, and the remaining half of the land and resources are shared by the aristocrats of Dashen.
The assets of the Luce family are estimated to be less than one percent of the assets of count Bonk.
Most importantly, the position of count Bonk, though not yet the Lord of the great world, is very close to the existence of the Lord.Therefore, the Lord of Kagle, who was under the count of bunker, had a very high status, because he was in charge of the city of Jianmo, and he was, in a certain sense, the representative of count bunker.
Without informing David, the investigating Minister of Dryden invited the Lord of Kagle to come. Even if David did not know his purpose, he could guess the malice of the other party.
Walking into the reception hall, David saw the visitors.
"Gershwin Minister of noble affairs, meet again!" With a smile, David gave a friend's meeting gift to the Gershwin aristocratic minister, and then he gave another aristocratic greeting to the others and said, "welcome to Luce castle!"
"How do you do, Baron Arthur. I'm the Lord of Kagle of jamer. You're younger than I thought!" The city Lord of kaguer also introduced himself with a smile.
He was invited to come because of the application of Dryden's minister of investigation. The Lord of Kagle was a knight of the earth, and the captain of the convoy standing behind him was also a knight of the earth.
The investigation Minister of Dryden said that traces of cult followers had been found. The nearest land Knight nearby was him and the captain of the guard team behind him.
As for Baron Arthur, the Lord of Kagle has also heard of it.
In the aristocratic circle, there are not many secrets. Baron Arthur, the illegitimate son of old Baron Luce, also lived in the interstellar Federation when he was young. In order to continue the Luce family, he was asked to inherit the baroness. This matter made many people in the aristocratic circle envied.
We should know that there are many non eldest sons in the aristocratic circle who are unable to inherit the title and can only strive for their future through their own efforts.
And in their eyes, nothing, Arthur easily got baroness.
But today, when Lord Kagle saw Baron Arthur, he felt totally different from the rumor. The aristocratic atmosphere of Baron Arthur was not like a man growing up in the interstellar Federation.
"Thank you for your praise. Jianmo city is very prosperous under your administration and is the best city I have ever seen!" David also praised.
What David said is true, but the best cities mentioned here do not include the cities of the interstellar Federation, and God belongs to the city of the big world. The only city he has ever visited is Jianmo.
David looked behind the Lord of Kagle with his eyes. It was the captain of the guard, the knight of the earth.
"Baron Arthur, this is Marquez, captain of the Jamo city guard!" The Lord of Kagle saw David's eyes and introduced him with a smile.
The reason why David first noticed the Lord of Kagle and captain Marquis was that he perceived that these two were Knights of the earth.
In the war star, the earth knight can be seen almost everywhere, but after the God belongs to the big world, he realized that the earth knight is not an ordinary knight, only the knight with good blood and inheritance can become the earth knight.
At the same time, there were two earth knights. This situation made him know that something must have happened. He looked at the Gershman noble affairs minister with a slight wink.
"Baron Arthur, this is Dryden's minister of investigation, and this is the master of ex alchemy. They are here to investigate the extermination of the Atkins family!" The Gershwin Minister of noble affairs introduced it to David.
It's just that when introducing the Minister of investigation of Dryden, the voice was a little louder.
In fact, David can perceive the malice of the Dryden investigating minister through his spirit without the emphasis of the Gershwin noble minister.
The malicious investigation made him become vigilant.
"Minister of Gershwin noble affairs, you will not have to do the introduction for you!" Said Dryden, in a deep voice.
He turned to look at David with a look in his eyes.
"Baron Arthur, I come to ask you something on behalf of the office of nobility. I hope you can cooperate with the office of nobility!" Said Dryden, in a deep voice.
"Mr. Dryden, do you mean to interrogate me?" David asked, narrowing his smile.
"No, you are mistaken. This is just a routine investigation, because the killing case of the Atkins family is of great importance, and all the people concerned should ask about it!" Dryden, the investigating minister, hastily explained.
The investigation Minister of Dryden thought that David had just arrived in the big world of God and did not understand the situation of God belonging to the big world. He wanted to suppress David through the noble Affairs Office, so that David would have psychological burden, so that he had pressure in answering.
But what he didn't know was that David had been taking eufemia's etiquette course since this morning, which was not only about etiquette, but also about nobles.
Eufemia also mentioned the functions of the office of nobility in the morning, which gave David a more detailed understanding of the relationship between the office and the nobility.
"Listen to your tone, I thought I had become a criminal, you brought people to arrest me!" David said faintly.
"Baron Arthur, it may be that I have a bad attitude. You just have to answer my questions. I won't disturb you for a long time." Said Dryden, in a different tone.
The Minister of investigation of Dryden was also an old official. As soon as he could not intimidate him, he immediately changed his way."You ask!" David waved his hand and said.
"Where were you three nights ago?" Asked Dryden, the investigating minister, taking out his pen and parchment and making a note.
"I was in the castle that day!" David's answer was very brief.
As he answered, a trace of the spirit of the alchemist came to him.
This spirit is extremely subtle. If it is not for people with strong spirit, it is impossible to find this trace of spirit.
David's heart moved, this mental detection should be to detect whether he lied.
It's like the lie detector of the interstellar Federation, but the alchemist's method is more secretive.
If David's spirit had not been higher, the alchemist's actions might have been successful.
The city Lord of Kagle and captain Marquis standing behind him moved their eyes. Their spirit can also find the movements of the alchemist.
It's just that it's going to offend the alchemist and Dryden's investigating minister, and the forces behind them.
Although the Lord of Kagle didn't care about the power of Dryden to investigate the minister's power, he also had no friendship with David, so he only prepared to be a spectator.
David didn't seem to find the spirit of the alchemist, and let it spread.
The alchemist did not want to do this, but he came here to cooperate with the investigation Minister of Dryden. As long as he had done this time, he would have paid back the favor, and he would not have to pay attention to the investigation minister and his superiors.
Perceiving David's mental agitation in answering questions, the alchemist shook his head at Dryden's investigating minister.
When the Minister of investigation of Dryden saw the alchemist shake his head, he could not help but feel anxious. His best assurance was to bring him over.
Once the alchemist detected that David was lying, Dryden's investigation minister would tell it on the spot, and then the Lord of Kagle would testify. In addition, the identity of the alchemist, which was like the alchemist, almost made Baron Arthur suspicious.
But who would have thought of the first question and got a very different answer from his imagination.
"Who can prove it?" Demanded Dryden, the investigating minister.
Simple questions can reduce the respondent's thinking time, which is also an interrogation skill.
"At that time, the Gershwin noble affairs minister and the Lord Forbes were guests in the castle. I think they can prove it for me!" David replied with a smile.
"I can prove that you can always contact Lord Forbes if you need to!" This time, they did not need to be tested by the ex alchemist, and the Gershman noble affairs minister said directly.
"Baron Arthur, have you ever been in contact with cult followers?" Asked Dryden suddenly.
His question stunned all the people present. No one thought that he would ask such a question. This is almost to accuse David of collusion with cult believers.
"Cult believers?" David seemed to recall it for a moment, and then he replied, "yes, I did."
