Transcendent David
Chapter 637: Inquiry
"My Lord Baron, this is a welcome ceremony, and the target is a nobleman who is similar to yours!" a beautiful young woman said to David with grace.
This young woman is the etiquette teacher invited by the butler Jason, a descendant of a declining noble, named Euphemia.
Yufimia was born in a noble family, but the previous generation failed to retain the title of nobility, and coupled with the economic inefficiency, Yufimia could only make a living using the noble etiquette she learned from childhood.
There are not many nobles like Euphemia. Not all nobles are ancient families like the Luce family. As long as there are offspring, they can always inherit the title.
Generally speaking, the succession of noble titles requires diminishing succession, just like a duke who wants to transfer his title to his son, then the son's inheritance can only be reduced by one level, and can only inherit the rank of the marquis.
When the title reaches the lowest lord, he will be removed from the nobility and become an ordinary person if he succeeds further down.
Of course, if there are descendants of knights in the family, then it is completely possible to retain a knight title. This knight is not a profession, but a semi-aristocratic title, with a part of aristocratic power.
The ancient family of the Luce family has its particularity. After being lowered to the baronial rank, it will not be lowered again, so the baroning rank is also the lowest rank of the ancient family.
As for raising the title, you need to make a corresponding contribution or have a large enough territory.
Territory is a special form of God's great world. When a nobleman owns a territory beyond a certain limit, he can become a lord.
The actual controllers of God's great world are many lords, but these lords usually only pay attention to the affairs of the territory, and will not personally participate in the affairs of God's great world.
But once a major event occurs, the lords will gather together to collectively decide the affairs of God's great world.
It is the Supreme Council that normally handles the affairs of God's great world, and all the members in it are actually representatives of the lords.
This kind of weird social structure, in David's eyes, can easily lead to chaos and cause social turmoil, but the great world of God is in order.
Everything is because God belongs to the great world and there is a greater existence, God!
The gods are the masters of the great world of gods, and the lord and the gods’ spoken temple form a balance.
"My Lord Baron, please pay attention!" Euphemia reminded.
David stabilized his mind. He put aside the things in his mind, Yuphemia's requirements were very strict.
For the first time, David knew that the etiquette would still be so complicated. It was like meeting and saluting. Different people needed different etiquette.
Some ceremony seems the same at first glance, but the subtle gestures are very different.
He couldn't help but be thankful that he didn't participate in the nobles' activities, otherwise, with his current understanding of etiquette, it would be very rude to go there.
Perhaps David will become a joke in the noble circle because of a cocktail party. He may not care about these, but he has to consider that he is in the great world of God, and he will use the identity of Arthur in the future. He needs to have this identity. Reputation.
After practicing the Path of Knights, David felt that a new world was opening to him. He was originally scheduled to get the training inheritance of the Luce family, so he tried to go to the Battle Star and return to the Star Federation from there.
But after getting the training inheritance and carrying out the knight enlightenment, he knew the complexity of knight training, and he needed the environment of the knight's cultivation of God's Great World.
"Master!" Jason butler broke in and bowed and saluted David.
"What's the matter?" David saw that Jason Butler came in, he knew something must have happened, otherwise it would be impossible for Jason Butler to disturb his etiquette study.
"The Minister of Investigation of the Noble Affairs Office wants to see you, and the Minister of Noble Affairs of Gershwin is also here!" Jason Butler replied.
David had also heard from the Minister of Noble Affairs of Gershwin mentioned that there might be investigators from the Office of Noble Affairs.
"I'm sorry, Ms. Euphemia, I think I need to be out of company for a while!" David turned his head and apologized to Euphemia.
"My Lord Baron, your learning ability is very strong, and the apology is very standard!" Euphemia chuckled and gave a polite reply.
"Master, this time, there is also City Lord Kagle from Kenmore City. I think this investigative minister is not doing well!" Butler Jason reminded softly after walking out of the practice room with David.
David frowned. The status of this City Lord Kagle was very special. He was the subordinate of Count Bunker, and Count Dai Bunker managed the city of Jianmo.
The Earl Bunker is the most powerful noble of Darson, and he owns a large amount of land. Even Kenmore City is owned by the Earl Bunker.
It can be said that half of the land and resources of the entire Darson planet belong to the Earl of Bunker, and the remaining half of the land and resources are shared by the Darson nobles.
Like the assets of the Luce family, it is estimated that even 1% of the assets of Earl Bunker cannot be matched.
The most important thing is that the status of Earl Bunker, although he can not be regarded as the lord of the great world of God, is very close to the existence of the lord.
Therefore, City Lord Kagle, the subordinate of Count Bunker, has a very high status, because he is the representative of Count Bunker in a certain sense because he manages Jianmo City.
Without notifying David, the Dryden investigator invited the Lord Kagle to come, even if David didn't know the purpose, he could guess the other party's malicious intentions.
Walking into the meeting room, David saw the guests coming to visit.
"The Minister of Noble Affairs of Gershwin, meet again!" David smiled and gave a friend to the Minister of Aristocratic Affairs of Gershwin, and then he gave the other aristocrats to meet again, saying: "Welcome to Luz. castle!"
"Baron Arthur, hello, I am City Lord Kagle of Jianmo City, you are younger than I thought!" City Lord Kagle introduced himself with a smile.
He was invited to come this time because Dryden was investigating the minister's application. The lord of Kagle was an earth knight, and the captain of the guard standing behind him was also an earth knight.
The Dryden investigation minister said that he had found traces of followers of the evil god, and the nearest earth knight nearby was him and the captain of the guard behind him.
For Baron Arthur, Lord Cagle had also heard of it.
In the noble circles, there are not many secrets. Baron Arthur, the illegitimate son of the old Baron Luce, has also lived in the Star Federation since childhood. For the continuation of the Luce family, he was invited back to inherit the baronship. How many aristocratic circles this matter People are jealous.
We must know that there are many non-eldest sons in the noble circle who cannot inherit the title, and can only fight for the future through their own efforts.
In their eyes, Arthur, who was nothing, easily got the baronial title.
But today, after seeing Baron Arthur, City Lord Cagle felt completely different from the rumors. The aristocratic atmosphere displayed by Baron Arthur looked like someone who grew up in the Star Federation.
"Thank you for your compliment, Jianmo City is extremely prosperous under your governance, and it is the best city I have ever seen!" David also praised.
What David said was the truth, but the best cities referred to here did not include the cities of the Interstellar Federation, and the cities where the gods belonged to the great world, he had really entered and played only Jianmo City.
David used his eyes to look at the back of City Lord Kagle, who was the captain of the guard, Earth Knight.
"Baron Arthur, this is Captain Marquis of the Guards of Kenmore City!" Seeing David's gaze, Castel Cagle introduced to David with a smile.
The reason why David would first notice City Lord Cagle and Captain Marquis is because he perceives that these two are Earth Knights.
In the battle star, the earth knight can be seen almost everywhere, but when he arrives in the great world of the gods, he understands that the earth knight is not an ordinary knight. Only knights with excellent bloodline power and inheritance can become earth knights.
The appearance of two land knights at the same time let him know that something must be happening. He looked at the Minister of Noble Affairs of Gershwin, who gave a slight wink.
"Baron Arthur, this is the Minister of Investigation of Dryden, and this is the master of Alchemy Icks. They came to investigate the destruction of the Atkins family!" Gershwin Minister of Noble Affairs told David Introduced.
It's just that when he introduced Dryden's investigative minister, his voice increased a bit.
In fact, without the Gershvin Minister of Noble Affairs focusing on it, David could perceive the bad faith of the Dryden Investigation Minister through his spirit.
The malicious investigation made him unconscious.
"The Gershwen Minister of Noble Affairs, you don't need to do the introduction!" The Dryden Investigation Minister said in a deep voice.
He turned his head to look at David, his eyes full of scrutiny.
"Baron Arthur, I am here to ask you something on behalf of the Noble Affairs Office, and I hope you can cooperate with the Noble Affairs Office!" The Dryden Investigation Minister said in a deep voice.
"Dryden Investigation Minister, you mean to interrogate me?" David asked with a narrow smile.
"No, you are misunderstood. This is just a routine investigation, because the Atkins family's extermination case is of great importance, and all related persons must be inquired!" Dryden's investigation minister quickly explained.
The investigative minister of Dryden thought that David had just come to the great world of God, and did not understand the situation of the great world of God. He wanted to use the noble affairs office to suppress David, so that David would have a psychological burden. pressure.
But what he didn't know was that David had been taking Euphemia's etiquette course from this morning. Euphemia's etiquette course was not only about etiquette knowledge, but also some knowledge of nobles.
Euphemia also happened to talk about the functions of the Noble Affairs Office in the morning, which gave David a more detailed understanding of the relationship between the Noble Affairs Office and the nobles.
"Listen to your tone, I thought I had become a criminal, you brought someone to arrest me!" David said lightly.
"Baron Arthur, it may be that I have a bad attitude. You only need to answer a few of my questions. It won't bother you for too long!" The Dryden Investigation Minister changed his tone.
The Dryden Investigation Minister was also an old official, and when he saw that he could not intimidate him, he immediately changed his method.
"You ask!" David waved his hand and said.
"The night three days ago, where were you?" Dryden's investigative minister asked as if he took out the pen and parchment and made a record.
"I was in the castle that day!" David answered very briefly.
When he answered, a trace of the spirit of the master alchemist Ix leaned towards him.
This thread of spirit is extremely subtle, and if it is not for a person with extremely strong spirit, it is impossible to find this thread of spirit.
David's heart moved, this mental detection should be to detect whether he is lying.
This is the same as the polygraph of the Interstellar Federation, except that the methods of the Alchemist Ikers are more secretive.
If it weren't for David's higher spirit, Master Ick's actions might have been successful.
City Lord Cagle sitting aside and Captain Marquis standing behind him both moved their eyes, and their spirits could also detect the movements of Master Ix Alchemist.
It's just that it is to offend the master alchemist Ix and the Minister of Investigation of Dryden, as well as the forces behind them.
Although the Lord Cagle didn't care about Dryden's investigative minister's power, he also had no friendship with David, so he was only prepared to stand on the sidelines.
It seemed that David hadn't found the spirit of the Alchemist Ix, and let the spirit stretch out.
The Alchemist Master Ix didn’t want to do this, but he came here this time to cooperate with the Dryden Investigation Minister. As long as he did this once, even if he had repaid his favor, he would not have to deal with the Dryden Investigation Minister and his superiors. .
Perceiving David's mental fluctuations when answering the question, the Alchemist Icks shook his head vaguely to the Dryden investigation minister.
The investigative minister of Dryden couldn't help feeling anxious when he saw Master Iker Alchemist shaking his head. His greatest certainty was to bring Master Iker Alchemist over.
As long as the Alchemist Icks detects that David is lying, the investigative minister of Dryden will tell it on the spot, and then with Lord Kagle as a testimony, coupled with the identity of the Alchemist Icks, it is almost true to Arthur. The baron's suspicious.
But who would have thought that the first question would have been answered completely different from what he had imagined.
"Who can prove it?" Dryden's investigation minister asked.
Simple questions can reduce the responder's thinking time, which is also an interrogation technique.
"At that time, the Minister of Noble Affairs of Gershwin and Forbes priests were all guests in the castle. I want to come and they can prove it for me!" David replied with a smile.
"I can prove that you can contact Forbes priest at any time if you need it!" This time without the use of Iker Alchemist's test, the Gershvin Minister of Noble Affairs said directly.
"Baron Arthur, have you ever been in contact with Cthulhu followers?" The Dryden investigation minister asked suddenly.
His question caused all the people present to be stunned, and no one thought he would ask such words. This is almost accusing David of colluding with the followers of the evil god.
"Cthulhu believer?" David seemed to remember for a moment, and then replied: "Yes, I have been in contact!"
