Chapter 7: Obtaining the Title.

If the collecting of the thirty gold coins is too quick, Father Vic will feel that his asking price is too low and he may raise the price temporarily.

And if he gave it too late, he may lose the title.

So he needs now to be careful in how he handle this.

After two days of hardship, Karl's "piety" was finally recognized by Father Vic, who agreed to bless him.

In this world with power beyond ordinary people, only by receiving the blessing of the gods can you become a true noble.

In terms of ceremony, inheritance is far less complicated than bestowal of honors, but it also requires bathing, changing clothes, worship and prayer.

The whole process takes one to two days.

Karl, wearing a white shirt and red robe, placed his weapons and soft armor on the altar, and took the oath with scriptures in his hands.

"I, Karl Bergman, swear before the great statue of the Lord of the Morning to be loyal and honorable for the rest of my life..."

"As a noble, I must be kind to the weak, bravely fight against violence, and fight for the defenseless..."

"Baron Karl."

At the door of the church, a blonde woman nodded to Karl who had just finished the ceremony:

"Congratulations."

"Captain Dinah." Karl stopped and said in surprise: "Why are you here?"

The woman in front of him had three-dimensional features and a tall figure. She had a sheathed sword hanging from her waist, and her blonde hair naturally rose up.

The trousers hugged her slender legs, and the leather top fit her body curves perfectly, giving her a wild beauty.

Dinah Yeager, the chief inspector of the South City, the third daughter of Viscount Sassoon, and also Karl's immediate superior.

The two were not familiar with each other.

The young and beautiful woman took out something from behind and handed it over:

"A Gift."

"Thank you."

Karl bowed to thank her and took the gift.

This was a gentleman's cane, made of Tung wood with silver ornaments, with a beautiful shape and a great grip.

"As a noble, how can you not have a cane?" Dinah smiled and said.

"I just happened to have something to deal with nearby, so I came to take a look."

"Something?" Karl tapped the ground with his new cane and didn't continue to be polite. The other party didn't need this little money:

"Do you need help?"

"No, you're still on vacation." Dinah turned around with her hands behind her back.

"Two civilians died at night. Some people said it was a vampire, so I had to come."

"Vampire?" Karl's face changed: "Is it true?"

"Of course it's false!" Dinah laughed and continued: "It's not certain whether there are vampires in this world, but the blood of the dead was indeed sucked dry."

"Hmm..."

"Although it's a bit strange, just leave it to the police."

Karl nodded.

They are inspectors, and they will only intervene personally unless it involves nobles or an event with a huge impact.

The police are responsible for maintaining public order and catching fugitives.

This is the difference between officials and staff.

"Karl."

Dinah said as they walked forward: "Do you remember that I have a cousin named Martha?"

"Martha?"

A scene from a banquet flashed through Karl's mind, where there was a young and cheerful girl:

"I do remember."

"She's not married yet." Dinah glanced at Karl and said: "She's not much younger than you, do you want to get in touch with her?"

"This..." Karl hesitated and said: "I don't want to get married so early, and I'm afraid I'll scare others with my appearance."

He touched the scar on his face.

"For a man, it's useless to be good-looking." Dinah said: "You are now a noble, and there are many women willing to marry you, and even bring you wealth."

Karl didn't say anything on this

He had no objection to becoming a gigolo, but he was not used to others forcing him to one.

Before he became a baron, the other party never mentioned this matter, and now it was nothing more than taking a fancy to his title. Just like his uncle Jeer.

"If a family wants to prosper, it can't rely on just one person." Dinah continued:

"Our Yeager family can be what it is today because we have enough children and the influence of our bloodline is great."

"Yes."

Karl nodded and suddenly said: "It seems that the commander hasn't decided on a fiancé?"

Damn!

As soon as he said this, he regretted it. This woman is not easy to tease, but it was too late to wake up at this time.

"Huh?"

Dinah's face sank and her steps stopped. There was an invisible pressure on the spot.

The majestic breath of life seemed to have substance, making Karl breathe faster.

Knight Squire!

He had heard that the other party is already a knight squire at the top level and may become a formal knight at any time. It seems to be true.

The blonde beauty in front of him is not weak at all. Even if they were three of him, he will not be her opponent.

It is true that Karl has been training since he was a child, but his physique is still in the category of ordinary people.

Facing a top knight squire is like a mouse encountering a cat. The breath of life of the superior creature is a kind of life and death instinct deterrence to him.

"Sir."

Karl's throat rolled: "I remember I have something to do at home, can I leave first?"

"..." Dinah had a blank expression on her face, and she hummed lightly with her nose, and then she saw Karl hurried away.

"This guy..."

Looking at Karl's back, Dinah's eyes showed a hint of surprise, and she whispered thoughtfully:

"It seems that his personality is different from before?"

Karl used to be reckless and yelled at every turn. Although his performance just now was a bit disrespectful, he was much more cautious.

Touching her chin, she shook her head gently and stopped thinking about it. It is common for a person's personality to change drastically after experiencing life-and-death danger.

…

Back at the residence, Jenny was singing as usual, and her singing was more beautiful than a few days ago.

Her singing talent is really good.

"Bang!"

Karl threw himself heavily on the bed, crossed his fingers and looked at the roof. He seemed to be in a daze, but his thoughts were turning rapidly.

'It is indeed much more convenient to have the status of a noble. Even Chief Dinah took the initiative to be a matchmaker. '

 'But I don't want money! '

If he wants money and a decent life, then marrying a rich merchant's daughter is undoubtedly the best choice.

With the status of a baron, it is not difficult to do this.

But Carl is not short of money.

Well, at least not for the time being, and most likely not in the future.

Although the other world is a bit dangerous, it is still easy to obtain a certain amount of wealth.

"What I want is the breathing method!"

As far as he knows, most of the breathing methods are in the hands of the Church, and some are passed down among the nobles and knights. So there are very few scattered outside.

It is even more difficult to get them, and even some nobles who have been passed down for hundreds of years do not have breathing methods.

'Compared to here, the breathing method in another world is easier to get, at least I have the opportunity to buy it if I spend some money. '

A few days later.

Karl opened the curtains and looked up at the full moon in the sky.

He then closed the curtains, held all the things he had prepared in advance in his arms, closed his eyes, and came to the mysterious place.

Jumping through the mysterious place, Karl, carrying many supplies, came to the other world again.

This time, the cold breath that penetrated into the bone marrow did not appear.

"On the day of the Burning Moon, the fog will dissipate, the half-dead creatures will not dare to show up, and the Black City will become safe."
