Too late.

He might lose his title.

The balance needs to be carefully struck.

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

In this world with powers beyond ordinary people, only by receiving the blessing of the gods can one 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.

Carl, wearing a white shirt and a red robe, placed his weapons and soft armor on the altar, and took the oath holding the scriptures in his hand.

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

"As a noble, you must be kind to the weak, bravely stand up to violence, and fight for the defenseless..."

"Baron Karl."

At the entrance of the church, a blonde woman nodded to Karl who had just finished the ceremony and said, "Congratulations."

"Commander Dinah." Carl stopped and said in a surprised tone:

"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 golden hair was naturally lifted up over her shoulders.

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

Dina Yeager, Chief Inspector of South City, the third daughter of Viscount Sassoon, and Carl's immediate superior.

The two are not familiar with each other.

The young and beautiful woman took out something from behind her and handed it over: "A gift."

"Thanks."

Carl bowed in thanks and took the gift.

This is a gentleman's cane, made of tung wood with silver ornaments. It has a beautiful shape and feels great to hold.

"As a noble, how can you not have a walking stick?" Dinah chuckled and said, "I happened to have something to deal with nearby, so I came to take a look."

"What's up?" Carl tapped the ground with his 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 put her hands behind her back and turned around:

"Two civilians died during the night. Some said it was a vampire's doing. I had to make a trip."

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

"Of course it's fake!" Dinah laughed, "It's not certain whether there are vampires in this world, but the blood of the deceased has indeed been sucked dry."

“Hmm…”

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

Carl nodded.

They are inspectors, and they will only intervene personally if the matter involves nobles or has a huge impact.

The police are responsible for routine maintenance of public order and arresting fugitives.

This is the difference between officials and employees.

“Carl.”

As they walked forward, Dinah spoke up: "Do you remember that I have a cousin named Martha?"

"Martha?"

Karl's mind flashed back to a scene from a banquet, in which there was a cheerful young girl: "Remember."

"She's not married yet." Dinah glanced at Karl and said:

"He's not much younger than you. Do you want to get in touch with him?"

"This..." Karl hesitated: "I don't want to get married so early, and I'm afraid that I'll scare others if I look like this."

As he said this, he touched the scar on his face.

"Men, good looks are useless." Dinah said:

"You are now a noble, and there are women willing to marry you and even bring you wealth."

Carl said nothing.

He has no objection to living off a woman, but he is not used to having someone force him to live off of him.

Before he became a baron, the other party had never mentioned this matter. The only reason he mentioned it now was that he had his eyes on his title.

"If a family wants to thrive, it can't rely on just one person." Dinah continued, "Our Yegerson family is what it is today because we have enough children and the influence of our bloodline is great enough."

"yes."

Karl nodded and suddenly said:

"It seems that the commander hasn't found a fiancé yet?"

Damn! As soon as he said this, he regretted it. This woman was not someone who could be easily teased. However, it was too late to realize it now.

"Um?"

Dina's face darkened and she stopped walking. An invisible pressure enveloped the place.

The majestic breath of life seemed to be tangible, causing Carl to breathe faster.

Knight Squire!

I heard that the other party is already a top-level knight squire 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. If they fight, three of him may not be his match.

It is true that Carl has been exercising since he was a child, but his physique is ultimately within the range of ordinary people. Facing a top knight squire is like a mouse encountering a cat. The life breath of the superior creature is even more of a life and death deterrent to him.

"Sir."

Carl Throat Roll:

"I remembered that I have something to do at home. Can I leave first?"

"..." Dina had a blank expression on her face, and she hummed lightly with the tip of her nose, and then she saw Karl leave in a hurry.

“This guy…”

Looking at Karl's back, Dina's eyes showed a hint of surprise, and she whispered thoughtfully: "His personality seems to be different from before?"

Carl used to be reckless and would yell at every turn, so his behavior just now was a bit disrespectful but required a lot of caution.

She touched her chin and shook her head gently, not thinking any more about it. It was very common for a person's personality to change drastically after experiencing life-and-death danger.

* * * Back at home, Jenny was singing as usual, and her voice was even more beautiful than in previous days.

She has a really good singing talent.

"Bang!"

Carl threw himself heavily on the bed, crossed his fingers and stared at the ceiling. He seemed to be in a daze, but his thoughts were racing.

"Having a noble status does make things a lot easier. Even Chief Dina has taken the initiative to act as a matchmaker."

"But I don't want money!"

If you want money and a decent life, then marrying the daughter of a wealthy businessman 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 there is no shortage for now, and there will probably be no shortage in the future.

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

"I want the breathing method!"

As far as he knew, most of the breathing techniques were in the hands of the Holy See, and some were passed down among the nobles and knights.

There are very few scattered outside.

It is even more difficult to get it, even some nobles with hundreds of years of inheritance do not have the breathing method.

"Compared to here, the breathing method in another world is easier to obtain. At least you have a chance to buy it if you spend money."

A few days later.

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

"May the Lord of the Dawn bless you..."

I drew the curtains, held all the things I had prepared in advance in my arms, closed my eyes, and came to that mysterious place.

After jumping through a mysterious place, Carl, carrying a lot of supplies, came to another world again.

This time.

The kind of cold and chilly aura that penetrated deep 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 themselves, and Black City will become safe."
