Chapter 18 Ino: Do you want me to join Her Royal Highness the Princess?
The duel between the two ducal heirs ended in a strange atmosphere.
Duke Norton carried Eric away from the scene with a gloomy face, and the other nobles also had their own thoughts.
In their view, the duel between Lear and Eric was a game between the emerging aristocracy and the old aristocracy.
The Duke of Norton has been resisting the Stuarts for years. If Lear loses this duel, it may mean the gradual decline of the old aristocracy.
But in the end, Lear won.
Does Stuart plan to return to the capital?
You must know that the Stuart family has always been guarding the border of the kingdom, and their real foundation is in the Farlow Fortress on the border.
There is only one duke's mansion in the royal capital, and no other family resources.
If the Stuart family really wants to restore the family's glory in the royal capital, it will definitely be a big deal.
Lear didn't know what those nobles were thinking, but those looks really made him feel a chill down his spine.
I heard that the upper class nobles in the kingdom lead a very decadent life, and many of them even have special hobbies.
His body trembled involuntarily, and he decided to leave this place of trouble as soon as possible.
…
The king also left the arena surrounded by guards. In the carriage, there was still an expression of disbelief on his face.
"Philia, do you believe that Lear has acquired the power of both arcane and war?"
"Why don't you believe it?" The beautiful silver-haired woman blinked.
"But..." Rosser opened his mouth but didn't know what to say.
At least just now in the arena, Li Er did something that a wizard could not do.
"These things are not important. Have you decided which territory to reward Lear?" the queen suddenly asked with a smile.
Rosser was stunned for a moment, then his face turned ugly, "Not only do I want Millia to marry that brat Li Er, but I also want to reward him with a territory?"
"You said this in front of so many nobles. Do you want to go back on your word?"
"Who knew that Lear could win?" Rosser was a little helpless. The original intention of rewarding the territory was to appease the Stuart family. After all, forcibly changing the marriage contract was a shame for any noble.
But the result was beyond his expectations, Lear won.
"In short, you'd better pick a territory quickly. Lear is now Millia's husband and is also a member of our family. You can't just perfunctorily pick a desolate territory for Lear." The queen warned.
"You are speaking for Lear before he even marries Millia?" Rosser was somewhat dissatisfied.
"Are you jealous?" The queen leaned close to the king and stroked his cheek. "Don't worry, dear. Although you are not as young or handsome as Lear, you are my love, my only love."
…
Two days later.
In the study, Lear was holding the latest newspaper from the capital.
Almost all the newspapers now are about the duel between him and Eric.
[Dual Law Professional? The ancient Stuart shows his edge! ]
[The son of the Duke of Norton used contraband in a duel and was questioned by His Majesty the King.]
Lear looked at the titles and raised his eyebrows.
Although the technology in the game world of "Law" is not as advanced as in previous lives, the speed at which information spreads is still quite fast.
"Young master, everyone outside is talking about you now. Many nobles also want to visit you in the next two days. Will you accept?" The maid Ino stood behind Lear, kneading Lear's shoulders and said excitedly.
Lear is her master, and she will be happy as long as Lear gains honor.
"Ino, it's just a victory in a duel. There's no need to make a big fuss. Those nobles should just refuse it." Lear shook his head helplessly.
Ino had been praising him yesterday, and in the evening Avian also came and tortured Lear severely, asking him many questions, which he managed to fool with great difficulty.
He didn't want to go through what happened yesterday again from those nobles.
Sighing, he put down the newspaper in his hand, his eyes flickered slightly, and opened his system panel.
After defeating Eric, he received a mission completion upgrade, gained 50,000 experience points, and the skills of the Blood Apostle.
[Blood Ceremony: Exclusive skill of Blood Apostle, communicates blood essence, forcibly awakens the affinity of blood law for any target, and can transfer to the blood law profession to become a believer of blood]
[Currently available blood law professions: Blood Hunter, Blood Knight]
[Note: As the holder of the Blood Law Essence, you can control and restrict other Blood Law professionals within a certain limit to ensure the loyalty of the law believers]
A special skill, without any auxiliary or attack effects. The only advantage is that this skill can be used to develop a group of loyal subordinates.
When he saw this skill, Lear was distressed.
This was clearly intended to get him to preach the blood law.
But in the early stages of the game, when the Forbidden Wall has not yet been opened, all laws except war, gold and arcane will be regarded as heresy.
War and arcane will stand aside and watch, while the Golden Church will do its utmost to eliminate the sects of heresy.
This is also a large expansion pack in the early stage of the game. Various heretical sects rise up and confront the Golden Church. Only the sects that survive are qualified to preach their own laws.
In Lear's impression, the Blood Law did not survive to the end, and the so-called Lord of Blood was only mentioned in the background board of the game.
If anything, Lear did not want to get involved in the battle between laws.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
But just as Lear was thinking this, the system panel in front of him suddenly jumped again.
[Trigger chain mission: Revival of blood (S-level only)]
[Ring 1: You have inherited the Law of Blood, so you must bear the corresponding responsibility, revive the Law of Blood in the new era, and develop a believer of the Law of Blood within three days]
[Quest Reward: 50,000 Experience Points, Elementary Blood Apostle Professional Skills]
[Failure penalty: Curse of the Lord of Blood]
[Task time limit: three days]
“…”
Lear's expression hardened.
It seems that the Lord of Blood does not want him to just take the benefits and do nothing. Lear still needs to take the curse of a law god seriously.
He sighed and decided to just get to work.
Who should I use to develop a believer? Li Er's eyes fell on Ino's little hand beside him.
He brought Ino back from the slums. He had tried to awaken the initial law for Ino, but Ino did not have any affinity for the law. Like Miria, he was a "forsaken person"! This was normal. Most people in the world did not have affinity for the law. Professionals were a minority after all, and powerful professionals were even rarer.
Generally speaking, mid-level professionals are already considered strong.
Maybe we can consider awakening the Blood Law for Ino?
Lear thought about it, but soon he thought of another candidate! ——Millia!
The imprisoned princess!
He had imprisoned Miria because he was afraid that she would reveal her secret. If he turned Miria into a blood law professional like himself, wouldn't the problem be solved? We are all heretics, so how can you go out and talk nonsense?
Moreover, with the blood law essence, he can control Milia to a certain extent, which can be said to reduce the risk of secret exposure to the lowest level! Standing up from the chair suddenly, Lear became more and more excited the more he thought about it.
The princess problem that had been bothering him for so long could now be solved.
Ino was startled by Li Er's action and asked carefully, "Master?"
"Let's go see Milia." Lear said with a smile.
Ino's cheeks suddenly turned red, "Are you going to do anything to Her Royal Highness the Princess?"
"Do you want me to go with Her Royal Highness the Princess? Do you need Ino to prepare?"
The little maid grabbed the hem of her skirt with both hands, becoming a little shy and embarrassed.
Li Er was stunned for a moment, and it took him a while to react. He said with a dark face: "Ino, what are you thinking about? I just went to see Milia."
"Huh?" Ino was also stunned, "Is that all?"
The little maid's tone became lost, and she drooped all of a sudden, looking weak and powerless.
The corner of Lear's eye twitched slightly. Why didn't he realize that Ino had such a character before?
