David is not burdened with the so-called suppression. Anyway, he is based on the idea that people will not offend me and I will not offend others. Now his strength has increased greatly. It doesn't matter if a nobleman jumps out, and he can deal with it casually, and it can just provide some soul energy.
Three of the four fifth-level Templar knights are all waiting for soul energy for soul division and recovery.
He only hoped that the nobles who suppressed him could be stronger, otherwise that bit of soul energy might not be enough.
"This is the Duke's identification document. From now on, he should be called Duke Arthur!" Minister of Noble Affairs Gershwin took out a piece of parchment that he had prepared earlier and handed it to David with a smile.
It was still the familiar parchment, with the seal of the Noble Affairs Office on it, and the unique energy fluctuations of alchemy items, which showed that the identity documents were extraordinary.
Of course, the identification documents are only for the convenience of handling some affairs. David's title will be notified to every nobleman through the branches of the Noble Affairs Office throughout the Divine World within a few days.
At the same time, all departments will update the knowledge content of the coat of arms. As long as the entire divine world will know David's new title after a while.
"Is there any more convenience for the title of duke?" David asked after taking a look at the duke's identity document and storing it in the space item.
When he was promoted to the title of earl before, he had some privileges, but the promotion time was too short. Before David came to enjoy these privileges, he was promoted to duke again.
"Five places go to Battle Star every year. The top kryptonite, enhanced meat and grade materials produced by Battle Star have the same purchase authority as the Duke status. The number of knights under your command has increased to 20. In addition, noble affairs The Office will regularly provide you with a list of items that can be purchased, all of which are special items that can only be purchased with the duke title!" Gershwin replied after thinking for a while.
There are five battle stars every year. This is to cultivate a large number of talents for the Duke family. You must know that going to the battle star to participate in the battle is the fastest way to improve the knight.
In Battle Star, you can not only have life-and-death battle experience, but also can associate with top knights of the same age and form a deep friendship.
It's a pity that besides himself, there is no knight in David's family who can go to Battle Star to train.
Originally, Knight Andrew was fine, but Knight Andrew was forcibly promoted with potions. If he lost his potential, his life would be in danger instead.
The top-level kryptonite, reinforced meat, and high-grade materials produced by Battlestar, David had heard of these resources before, and most of them were divided up by the top nobles, and the rest were not the turn of the low-level nobles. He did not expect the title of duke There is a certain amount, which surprised him a bit.
In fact, this is also a means for the top nobles to appease the rest of the nobles, and to give the nobles a visible hope. As long as they work hard to improve their titles, they can have more resources and improve their family strength.
In the past, top-level kryptonite, reinforced meat, and high-grade materials could not be seen by David, but now it is different. He is no longer alone. After having four fifth-level Templars, he needs a lot of top-level kryptonite. Spars are provided for the cultivation of the fifth-level Templar Knights.
The other fifteen fourth-level sky knights also need resources. Although they consume less top-level krypton spar, it is still an expense.
In a short period of time, David could maintain the training of all the knights by relying on the trophies he had previously robbed, but this could not solve the fundamental problem.
The black rock mining area of Boyue star is his backhand to solve the top-level kryptonite. There are "pregnant crystals", he can harvest a large number of top-level kryptonites, and he can also get "perfect grade kryptonites".
It will take time for the 'pregnant stone' to accelerate the impact of krypton crystal mines. The scale of the black rock mining area is not too large, and even the output cannot meet the needs of so many knights.
David had thought about this problem before, but he didn't think that a duke title would solve this problem.
The number of knights mentions 20. The knight here is not a knight profession, but a noble knight title. As long as he is certified as a noble knight, he can enjoy some of the privileges of the noble.
Like passing through the portal for free, like not having to pay civilian taxes, etc., are all manifestations of interests. The most important thing is identity. As long as it is a noble knight, then this knight has stepped into the threshold of nobility with one foot and has become a nobleman. A quasi-noble.
As for the purchase list, in David's mind, it should be some items that cannot be seen in the market, and he doesn't have much thought about these items.
"I didn't expect the title of duke to have so many benefits!" David said with a smile.
"There is news from the temple that because of your outstanding contribution in the battle of the gods, the planet-level portal built by the temple for the planet Gami will be given to you, which will save you ten great merits!" Gershwin nobleman The Minister of State Affairs continued.
Speaking of this, the Minister of Noble Affairs Gershwin really envied David. Although the star-level portal is the standard configuration of every planet, it is not free.
Since the planet-level portal is almost monopolized by the temple in terms of technology and materials, so if you want to build a planet-level portal, you must find the temple to build it.
Planets like Gami Planet that cannot be used for human habitation after discovery will build planet-level portals after the process of being transformed by the temple is over.
The star-level portal needs to be paid by all the nobles who have property on this planet. Of course, this fee is replaced by merit, and the temple does not care about the divine gold coins.
Generally speaking, on the planets where many noble families are located, there will be some tasks forcibly assigned to the nobles, which is to pay the interest of the planet-level portal.
David's Luce family has a certain immunity because it is an ancient family of ten thousand years, but no one has mentioned it to him.
But if he owns a planet alone, then the cost of the planet-level portal cannot be avoided.
You must know that although the nobles of many planets have to complete certain meritorious tasks every year, these are just paying interest. The huge meritorious deeds can only be fully paid if there are top nobles on the planet.
Naturally, the temple doesn't have to worry about anyone who dares not pay the fee for the star-level portal, even if it is a benefit, no planet dares to pay later.
Therefore, except for the Temple of Wealth, the other temples have almost no business operations, but their wealth has never been lacking.
"How many merits do I still have?" David couldn't help asking aloud because he was still unclear about his merits.
"Arthur, you should find a better steward, you don't even know your meritorious deeds!" Gershwin shook his head and said, then he continued: "I checked your meritorious deeds for you, and Seventeen great achievements!"
David didn't make any excuses for Butler Jason. The Luce family has been in decline for many years, and David has never confessed to Butler Jason about his meritorious deeds. Naturally, Butler Jason won't know about it.
"It seems that there should be a lot of things that can be exchanged!" David probably knew the value of great achievements, and said with a smile.
"As a friend, I advise you not to use great merits to exchange items lightly. Most items can be exchanged for ordinary meritorious deeds. It is best to exchange great achievements for territories or strategic materials, such as star-level portals. Goods can only be exchanged for great merit!" Gershwin, the Minister of Noble Affairs, couldn't help persuading him when he saw David intending to waste his great merit.
Not to mention emerging nobles like David, even the top nobles also need great merit, which can only be obtained by very few tasks.
Even the top nobles cannot easily obtain and complete this kind of task, no matter the degree of danger or rarity, it is extremely difficult to obtain great achievements.
David was able to obtain great merit only because he was lucky enough to participate in the battle of gods. If it wasn't for the mission of war of gods, how could he have obtained so many great merits at once.
This is why the Minister of Noble Affairs Gershwin persuaded David, and only a true friend would say this.
"I understand!" David nodded.
"I've said everything that should be said. Make an appointment to go to Gami Star to complete the handover of the planet!" The Minister of Noble Affairs Gershwin put down the cup in his hand and said with a smile.
"Okay, I have time now, and I'll pick you up when I make arrangements!" David didn't make another appointment, and he wanted to see his own planet right away.
If he went to Gami Star by himself, it would not matter if he rode alone, but with the Minister of Noble Affairs, Gershwin, he couldn't just go there like this.
Even if the Minister of Noble Affairs Gershwin doesn't care, he must also take into account the dignity of the Noble Affairs Office.
When David left the Bamaxing Noble Affairs Office, he found that the front door was extremely quiet. Even the nobles who had been waiting here in the morning were gone, and no nobles came to do business.
While lamenting in his heart the leisure of the Noble Affairs Office, he rode his war horse Xiaohua and headed for the villa.
How did David know that the news of his appearance at the Noble Affairs Office has already been spread, and there is no secret in the noble circle. As long as there is no life-threatening matter, who would come to the Noble Affairs Office at this time to confront him with a notorious reputation? Kill God contact.
When they returned to the gate of Villa No. 35, Steward Jason, Steward Albin, Knight Andrew, and Euphemia were all standing in front of the gate, and all the servants stood on both sides of the gate in two rows.
"Butler Jason, I'm just going home, I don't need such a battle!" David said helplessly shaking his head.
"Master, this is a must. You go to the Noble Affairs Office to be promoted to the title. This is the glory of the Luce family. If the old master is still alive, he will be proud of you!" Butler Jason said with tears in his eyes .
The Luce family has truly flourished, and the title of marquis is one of the highest-ranking titles in the history of the Luce family. Such success is enough to comfort all the ancestors of the Luce family.
"It's time to call you Lord Marquis Arthur!" Euphemia said with a chuckle and a noble salute.
"Euphemia, you sometimes make mistakes!" David said with a smile as soon as he heard that they all made mistakes in his promotion to the title.
It's no wonder that the stewards and stewards misunderstood. You must know that titles are always promoted step by step, especially after reaching high-level titles, how can it be possible to advance several levels at a time.
So after receiving the notification from the Noble Affairs Office, Butler Jason thought that David had been promoted to Marquis. Who would have known that he was directly promoted to Duke.
"Ah! I made a mistake!" Euphemia blushed slightly, recalling her own etiquette carefully. How could such a deep-rooted etiquette go wrong.
"I have obtained the title of Duke now, and I will notify all the nobles in a few days!" David explained with a smile.
Several members of the Luce family standing on the spot couldn't help but widen their eyes. Butler Jason was a little old, and his body couldn't help shaking when he was excited.
Butler Albin on the side quickly supported Butler Jason, which also woke up the surprised crowd.
"I have met the honorable Lord Duke Arthur!" All the servants bowed at the right time and said.
"Help Butler Jason in to take a rest first, let's all go in!" David said with a wave.
Originally, David planned to take Butler Jason to Gami Star to see the new territory belonging to the Luce family, but looking at Butler Jason, is he old? Let Jason Butler take care of his old age, Jason Butler I have sacrificed so much for this family.
This is because Jason's housekeeper has taken the 'Warming Heart Lotus Seed Soup', so that his body can still maintain a vigorous state at such an age, but after all, he is still too old, and being too excited is not a good thing after all.
Butler Jason quickly recovered, his face was flushed, not only him, butler Albin, Knight Andrew and Euphemia were all extremely excited. The duke title can be said to be a great nobleman second only to the lord.
Even in the entire Bama Star, there are not many Dukes.
Unexpectedly, they didn't have many days when they first came to Bama Star, and their family became one of the top aristocratic families in Bama Star in a blink of an eye.
Although the Luce family is far inferior to the top nobles, this kind of glory is enough to greatly enhance their status.
David didn't stay in the villa too much, he released five fourth-level sky knights, and drove away in the alchemy carriage, leaving everyone who was still excited.
Since he decided not to take Butler Jason, nor did he bring the rest of the family members, he had some new ideas about the construction of Gami Star.
Driven by Mark Knight, four fourth-level sky knights stood on both sides of the alchemy carriage. When David returned to the Noble Affairs Office this time, he finally had the ostentation that nobility should have.
"Arthur, these aren't all sky knights, are they?" Gershwin, the Minister of Noble Affairs, has read the information of Mark Knight and Garland Knight from the Noble Affairs Office, but he has not seen the other three fourth-level knights. Sky Knight's information, just seeing Garland Knight and the other three knights protecting the alchemy carriage, asked in surprise.
"You have good eyesight, they are indeed sky knights!" David said without paying attention.
After seeing David after God War, his vision has been much higher, and he now has four fifth-level Templar knights, so he doesn't think much about the fourth-level sky knights. For the nobles of Gershwin The minister of affairs' inquiry would not care at all.
