Transcendent David Chapter 637: Inquiry
"My Lord Baron, this is a welcome gift, and the target is the nobles who are similar to you!" 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 nobleman named Euphemia.
Euphemia was born in an aristocratic family, but the previous generation failed to retain the title of aristocracy. Coupled with the economic inefficiency, Euphemia could only make a living using the aristocratic etiquette she had learned since 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 aristocratic titles requires diminishing succession, just like a duke who wants to transfer his title to his son, then the son's inherited title can only be reduced by one level, and can only be inherited to the marquis. Knighthood.
When the title reaches the lowest lord, if you succeed down, you will be removed from the nobility and become an ordinary person.
Of course, if there are knight descendants in the family, then you can completely 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 title, it will not be lowered again, so the baronial title is also the lowest rank of the ancient family.
As for the promotion of 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 the divine world are many lords, but these lords usually only pay attention to the affairs of the territories, and will not personally participate in the affairs of the divine world.
But once a major event occurs, the lords will gather together to collectively decide the affairs of God's great world.
The Supreme Council 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, is prone to chaos and social turmoil, but the godly world appears orderly.
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 the gods. The lord and the gods’ endorsement temples form a balance.
"My Lord Baron, please concentrate!" Euphemia reminded.
David stabilized his mind, he put aside the things in his mind, Yuphemia's requirements were very strict.
David knew for the first time that the etiquette would still be so complicated. It's like meeting and saluting. Different people need different etiquette.
Some courtesy may seem the same at first glance, but there are big differences in subtle gestures.
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.
Maybe David will become a joke in the aristocratic 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 needs to use the identity of Arthur in the future. The identity has a good 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.
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 knights who belonged to the great world.
"Master!" Jason Butler broke in and bowed to David.
"What's the matter?" When David saw Jason Butler coming in, he knew something must have happened. Otherwise, with Jason Butler's character, it would be impossible 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 Gershvin Minister of Noble Affairs that there might be investigators from the Office of Noble Affairs.
"I'm sorry, Ms. Euphemia, I think I need to be separated for a while!" David turned his head and offered an apology to Euphemia.
"My Lord Baron, your learning ability is very strong, and your apology is very standard!" Euphemia chuckled and replied.
"Master, there is also Castel Kagle from Kenmore City this time. 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 the Lord Kagle is very special. He is the subordinate of Count Bunker, and Count Dai Bunker manages the city of Kenmore.
and Earl Bunker is the most powerful noble of Darson, owning a large amount of land, and 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 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 match.
The most important thing is that the status of Earl Bunker, although he can't be regarded as the lord of the gods, 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 manages the city of Jianmo, he is the representative of Count Bunker in a certain sense.
Dryden’s investigative minister, without notifying David, invited the Lord Kagle to come, even if David didn’t know the purpose, he could guess the other side’s malice.
Walking into the living room, David saw the guests coming to visit.
"The Gershwin Minister of Noble Affairs, meet again!" David smiled and gave a friend meeting ceremony to the Gershwin Minister of Noble Affairs, and then he gave a noble meeting ceremony to the others: "Welcome everyone. Come to Luce Castle!"
"Baron Arthur, hello, I am City Lord Kagle of Kenmore 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.
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.
As for Baron Arthur, Lord Cagle has also heard of it.
In the circle of nobility, there are not many secrets. Baron Arthur, the illegitimate son of the old Baron Luce, has also lived in the Star Federation since he was a child. For the continuation of the Luce family, he was invited back to inherit the baronship. How much does this matter? People in the aristocratic circle are jealous.
You must know that many non-eldest sons in the aristocratic circle cannot inherit the title, and can only fight for the future through their own efforts.
And in their eyes, Arthur, who was nothing, easily got the baronial title.
However, after seeing Baron Arthur today, 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, Kenmore City is extremely prosperous under your governance, and it is the best city I have ever seen!" David also replied in praise.
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 in Jianmo City.
David used his eyes to look behind Castel 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 him with a smile.
The reason why David noticed the Lord Cagle and Captain Marquis first was because he perceives that these two are Earth Knights.
During the battle star, the earth knights were almost everywhere, but after arriving in the great world of the gods, he realized that the earth knights are not ordinary knights. Only knights with excellent bloodline power and inheritance can become earth knights.
The situation 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 Introduced to David.
It's just that when he introduced the Drayden Investigation Minister, his voice was a bit more serious.
In fact, without the Gershvin Minister of Noble Affairs, David can perceive the bad faith of the Dryden Investigation Minister through his spirit.
's malicious investigation made him unconscious.
"The Gershwin 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!" Dryden Investigation Minister said in a deep voice.
"Dryden Investigation Minister, you mean to interrogate me?" David asked with a narrow smile.
"No, you misunderstood, this is just a routine investigation, because the Atkins family's killing case is of great importance, and all the people involved must be inquired!" Dryden's investigation minister quickly explained.
Dryden’s investigative minister 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 and cause David to have a psychological burden. There is pressure when answering.
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, and it won't bother you for too long!" The Dryden investigation minister changed his tone and said.
Dryden Investigation Minister is also an old official, and when he saw that he could not intimidate him, he immediately changed his method.
"Ask!" David waved his hand and said.
"The night three days ago, where were you?" Dryden's investigation 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.
As he answered, a trace of the spirit of the master Alchemist Icks leaned towards him.
This thread of spirit is extremely subtle, and if you are not a very strong person, you can't find this spirit at all.
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 Alchemist's actions might really be successful.
City Lord Kagle sitting aside and Captain Marquis standing behind him both moved their eyes, and their spirits could also discover the movements of Master Ix Alchemy.
It is only now that it is proposed to offend Master Ix Alchemist and Dryden Investigation Minister, as well as the forces behind them.
Although City Lord Cagle doesn't care about Dryden's investigative minister's influence, he also has no friendship with David, so he only intends to stand on the sidelines.
David didn't seem to have discovered the spirit of Master Ikers Alchemist, and let the spirit stretch out.
Ix Alchemist didn’t want to do this, but he came here this time to cooperate with Dryden’s investigation minister, as long as he did it this time~IndoMTL.com~ Even if he pays back the favor, he won’t have to take advantage of it in the future. Ryden investigated the minister and his superiors.
Perceiving David's mental fluctuations when answering the question, the Alchemist Icks shook his head vaguely to the Minister of Investigation of Dryden.
The investigator of Dryden saw Master Iker Alchemist shaking his head, he couldn't help feeling anxious, his greatest certainty was to bring Master Iker Alchemist over.
As long as the Alchemist Ix detects David lying, the Minister of Investigation of Dryden will speak it out on the spot, and then the Lord Kagle will testify, plus the identity of the Alchemist Ix, it is almost true Suspicious of Baron Arthur.
But who would have thought that the first question would be answered completely different from what he had imagined.
"Who can prove?" Dryden's investigation minister asked.
Simple questions can reduce the time for the respondent to think, which is also an interrogation technique.
"At that time, the Minister of Noble Affairs of Gershwin and Forbes priest were both guests in the castle. I want them to prove it for me!" David replied with a smile.
"I can prove that you can contact the 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 followers of the Cthulhu?" The Dryden Investigation Minister asked suddenly.
All the people present were taken aback by his question. No one thought he would ask such words. This was 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!"
