Passing through the portal, David didn't feel the discomfort caused by space transformation when passing through the portal of the Interstellar Federation. He just felt that the scene in front of him changed, and then he appeared in another place.
Behind him is a huge portal, and in front of him is a city built around the portal.
"Here we are. This is Jianmer City, the main city of Dasheng Star. We are going to the noble affairs sub-office here, where we will handle Arthur's identity!" Gershwin, the Minister of Noble Affairs, said to David.
At this time, the Minister of Noble Affairs of Gershwin had a smile on his face, and his task was finally about to be completed.
David looked at the city in front of him, feeling a sense of astonishment.
Before, he had a lot of guesses about the real world of the gods. A civilization that can navigate in space, a world with powerful combat power, and its cities should be full of extremely advanced facilities.
But what David saw was an ordinary street. Of course, the street was indeed very wide, and the ground was paved with relatively flat bluestone, which made the street look very grand.
The buildings on both sides of the street do not have more than three floors, most of them are one or two-story buildings. The architectural style is very rough, and the surface is almost all made of stone blocks. The whole street has a sense of primitiveness.
There are pedestrians on the street, some on horseback, and some in carriages, but I haven't seen the product that combines energy and patterns like the "Starship".
While David was watching, the Minister of Noble Affairs Gershwin had already waved for a carriage.
"Arthur, get in the car. This is just an ordinary area. The essence of Jianmer City is the inner city. It is the noble area, and the noble affairs branch is also there!" Gershwin, the Minister of Noble Affairs, said to David who was a little dazed.
David nodded, still not fully recovering from the shock.
He never imagined that a city belonging to the great world of God would be like this.
Although the Minister of Noble Affairs Gershwin said that this is an ordinary area, according to the degree of civilization development in the divine world, the city should not be so primitive.
Before getting into the carriage, David glanced at the huge portal again. Compared with the highly civilized product of the portal, the city is like a primitive society.
The carriage was driving on the bluestone road. Fortunately, the carriage had shock absorbers, so it didn't make people feel too uncomfortable, but the sound of the wheels colliding with the bluestone was still very uncomfortable.
Through the car window, he looked at both sides of the road. This should be the main road. The shops on both sides are doing good business and there is a lot of traffic.
But after about thirty minutes of journey, he didn't see any knight.
David couldn't help but think of what Priest Forbes said about the extremely rare number of divine knights in the Great World. He didn't have any concept before, but now he has a deep understanding.
Jianmo City is the main city of Dasheng Star. It is extremely difficult to see knights in such a city, so it is even more difficult to meet knights in other places.
The carriage passed through a city gate guarded by several soldiers and entered the inner city.
The buildings here are obviously much more refined than the outer city, and the shops on both sides are mostly built with more exquisite wood and delicate stone. The carvings and patterns that can be seen everywhere and the matching of various colors make the quality of the inner city better than that of the outer city. a lot.
Although it still can't match the appearance of David's imagination of a city belonging to the gods, it already has the shadow of a prosperous city.
David also saw several knights on the street. Judging from their aura, most of them were apprentice knights and formal knights. He hadn't seen a land knight with the strength of Priest Forbes yet.
The carriage passed through the commercial area and came to the residential area. There was nothing to see here, only the gates facing the street showed the wealth of the owner.
The carriage finally drove into a gate and stopped. Two waiters took wooden steps and placed them beside the carriage, and opened the door.
The three got out of the carriage, and the Minister of Noble Affairs Gershwin sent the carriage away after paying the fare.
"Respected Lord Gershwin, your presence has made the Dashengxing Noble Affairs Sub-office flourish!" A middle-aged man with a scepter on his chest trotted over, and he spoke flattering words.
"I'm here to handle the formalities for the succession of the title for Mr. Arthur, take me to the office!" The Minister of Noble Affairs Gershwin ignored the other party's words and ordered very directly.
"Yes, please follow me!" The middle-aged man bowed and greeted without any dissatisfaction.
It wasn't that the middle-aged man didn't want to greet Priest Forbes, but Gershwin, the Minister of Noble Affairs, had already introduced him, and he also understood that he didn't want to disturb him.
Walking into the office of the noble affairs sub-office, David felt a highly civilized feeling.
The office is a circle, with twelve white beams of light in the middle. At this time, several staff members with scepter symbols on their chests are receiving people in Chinese robes.
David saw a staff member reach into the white beam of light, and took out a box from the white beam of light. Originally, there was no box in the white beam of light. On the other side, a staff member was putting items into the white beam of light. The item was entering the white beam of light. When the beam of light disappeared, it disappeared.
"There is an item transmission circle here. Nobles with titles can transfer items here. Of course, the size of the items should not be too large, and they must not be space items!" Gershwin, Minister of Noble Affairs, introduced to David.
David has never seen this kind of technology even in the Interstellar Federation. He has seen a single-person portal that can transport people. Of course, it can transport items, but every time it is opened, it will consume a lot of energy, so every time it is opened, it must be carefully calculated.
However, the item transmission circle in front of me is normally opened. Just looking at the staff casually reaching into the item transmission circle to take out or put items in, it can be seen that the item transmission circle is a standing facility.
Several people came to a vacant white beam of light. The Minister of Noble Affairs Gershwin stood in front of the white beam of light. He put a document into the white beam of light. After waiting for a while, the white beam of light became brighter.
"Arthur Luce, the heir of the Luce family, possesses the power of the Luce family's bloodline, verified by the Noble Affairs Office, and justified by Priest Forbes of the Temple of Justice. Coat of arms, an ancient castle, ten plantations, and a winery, I, the Minister of Noble Affairs Gershwin, will handle the inheritance procedures with Arthur Luce in the name of the Noble Affairs Office!" The Minister of Noble Affairs Gershwin faced the white beam of light Said.
"I, Priest Forbes of the Temple of Justice, confirmed Arthur Luce as the heir of the Luce family, and supervised the succession procedures!" Priest Forbes continued.
David stood in front of the white beam of light, and he could feel that someone in the white beam of light seemed to be observing him, and a beam of energy swept across his body.
Then a box appeared in the white beam of light, and the Minister of Noble Affairs Gershwin reached out and took out the box from the white beam of light.
He opened the box and took out a palm-sized heraldry card from inside. The pattern on the heraldry card was a shadow leopard.
"This is the shadow leopard coat of arms of the Luce family. With this shadow leopard coat of arms, you will have everything in the Luce family, including the title of baron!" said Gershwin, the Minister of Noble Affairs, handing the coat of arms to David. .
David took the coat of arms. He felt that the material of the coat of arms was a bit special, and he couldn't tell what kind of material it was made of.
"Baron Arthur, you use your spirit to activate the Shadow Leopard Crest, this Shadow Leopard Crest is your exclusive item!" Priest Forbes reminded aloud.
Priest Forbes changed his title after David accepted the Shadow Leopard coat of arms, and also used his honorific title.
David nodded, and he channeled his spirit into the Shadow Leopard Crest, and immediately he felt that the Shadow Leopard Crest had a connection with him.
Then a picture appeared on the Shadow Leopard coat of arms. It was Arthur's figure. Judging from his clothes and demeanor, it was the image obtained when the white beam of light scanned David just now.
"Baron Arthur, generally important places will have an automatic detection circle, which can automatically detect your shadow leopard emblem card, and if you need to actively identify yourself, you can use mental activation to prove your identity! "The Minister of Noble Affairs Gershwin introduced.
Another stack of documents appeared in the white beam of light. The Minister of Aristocratic Affairs Gershwin took out the documents, checked them, and handed them to Priest Forbes. Priest Forbes also checked them, then nodded, confirming the correctness of the documents.
Priest Forbes handed over a stack of documents to David. The documents were all made of a kind of extremely thin and specially treated sheepskin, delicate and pure white.
The divine language used on the documents contains property rights documents, including the property rights documents of an ancient castle, ten plantations and a winery.
"Baron Arthur, all the relevant procedures have been completed, and we will work with you to receive your assets!" Gershwin said with a smile.
In fact, here, in fact, can end.
But before David rescued Priest Forbes, Priest Forbes asked Gershwin, Minister of Noble Affairs, to help David control the Luce family, so as to reduce the trouble for David to take over.
Even with the decision made by the Noble Affairs Office, the Luce family should not have any voices of opposition, because any opposition would be against the entire aristocratic system, and no one would have the confidence to do so.
"Excuse me, both of you, let's get together later!" David said gratefully.
This time, there is no need to rent a carriage. I borrowed two horses from the Noble Affairs Sub-Office. Priest Forbes naturally does not need another horse. He rides his own war horse, and David and Gershwin, the Minister of Noble Affairs, each ride a horse. horse.
On the way, Priest Forbes gave David a map, which was the map of Dasheng Star.
On the map, the castle of the Luce family is not far from Jianmer City, only twenty minutes away.
As an ancient family, the castle occupied by the Luce family has the best location. When the Luce family was at its most glorious a long time ago, a large piece of land on Dasheng Star was owned by the Luce family.
At that time, the Luce family almost became the masters of the Dasheng star, but after the most glorious generation, the successors did not have much ability. Not only could they not maintain the original glory, but they even lost a lot of land belonging to the family.
If it is not due to the mandatory requirements of the ancient family, the oldest ancestral property cannot be traded, and the last ancient castles, plantations and wineries will be lost.
From Jianmo City, the road leading to the ancient castle of Luce is not bad. Although it is a bit dilapidated, the entire road is paved with bluestone, and the width can accommodate two carriages passing side by side.
It can be seen how glorious the ancient castle of Luce was before.
The speed of the three horses was very fast, and the road was good, and the 20 kilometers would be reached soon.
David saw a castle built against the mountain in front of him. The castle was majestic. The mountain borrowed the momentum of the castle, and the castle also took advantage of the mountain to reflect each other, forming a whole.
The rocks used in the castle are huge, and each rock is the size of a person's square. I don't know how such a huge boulder was constructed back then.
Due to the age, the original color of the rock has been lost for a long time. Instead, it has been eroded by the wind and rain. The dark brown color shows the thickness and history of the castle.
However, some parts of the castle are dilapidated, which also shows the dilapidation of the Luce family.
"Baron Arthur of the Luce family came to take over the castle!" Priest Forbes shouted at the castle.
His voice was like a thunderclap, causing commotion in the castle, but there was a sound of reprimand immediately.
In less than five minutes, the gate of the castle opened, and two teams of guards with spears walked out of the castle. They lined up on both sides of the gate of the city guard, and an old man in a housekeeper's uniform walked out of the castle with a middle-aged man.
The old man's eyes were full of excitement, and his eyes swept towards the three of them, and soon they focused on David.
"It's so similar, it's so similar!" the old man muttered to himself.
The middle-aged man behind him lightly touched the old man, and the old man only reacted.
"Jason, the steward of Luce Castle, has seen Baron Arthur!" The old man bowed to David and said.
"Andrew, the Guardian Knight of Luce Castle, has seen Baron Arthur!" The middle-aged man behind the old man also said with a bow.
David looked at the middle-aged knight Andrew in surprise. He didn't expect such a Luce family to retain a knight.
Although he had not been in the Divine World for a long time, he knew how scarce knights were in the Divine World, and how could such a dilapidated family like the Luce family be able to keep this knight.
I’m afraid that the resources for this knight’s training can’t be afforded. I heard the introduction from Priest Forbes before. If the assets left by the Luce family today, if David’s own divine gold coins are not used, its annual output will be really high. Even the cultivation resources of an official knight cannot be exchanged.
"Butler Jason, Knight Andrew, thanks for your hard work!" David bowed and thanked you.
Old Luce died. Although the Luce family was protected by the Noble Affairs Office and was not plundered, it was inevitable to be oppressed. The other heirs of the Luce family were killed, which shows that someone is targeting Luce family.
