Chapter 235 Then I’ll Be Fine
Investigating Li Ge's past, or rather investigating the past of the original owner, is not a difficult task for the royal family at all.
Therefore, Li Ge was not surprised by King Hemulinpu's words.
"The past was before, and the present is now." He just said: "I no longer feel that becoming a noble is my life goal."
"...Really?" King Hemulinpu nodded, with an understanding look, but said: "If you are worried that your status as a noble will become a constraint for you, then you can rest assured that the same is true for the nobles. There are people who are not serving in the kingdom.”
Sure enough, Yuli guessed everything the king did.
If Li Ge insists on refusing to become a noble, then he will compromise with the honorary nobility and let Li Ge nominally belong to the Kingdom of Jinas without serving in the kingdom.
Among the four types of nobility, only the honorary nobility does not have a clear position.
Since King Hemulinpu mentioned this matter, he naturally planned to make Li Ge an honorary noble.
However……
"I said, I have no interest in becoming a noble." Li Ge smiled and said in a Gujing Wubo tone: "I have to disappoint His Majesty. I'm really sorry."
King Hemulimp finally frowned.
The same goes for the rest of the people present. They looked at Li Ge with strange eyes. Some were full of scrutiny, some were full of sarcasm, and some were simply full of hostility, showing all kinds of life.
"Don't you think about it again?" King Hemulinpu frowned and said: "I can understand your thoughts, but you have to know that with your current ability and reputation, once you really go out to travel to the mainland, what foreign country will you have?" People will definitely be looking at you.”
"The struggle between countries is very complicated. If a special talent like you can be poached from this country, weaken this country's strength, and then strengthen their country's strength, then those foreign countries will definitely not mind using some Extreme measures."
"When the time comes, the situation you face will be much more dangerous than you imagined."
King Hemulinpu's words are not alarmist.
Just like the Kingdom of Jinas wants to completely tie Li Ge to this country as a noble, others from foreign countries must also want to poach Li Ge.
Li Ge's status as a tactical-level magician alone would have been valuable enough for people from foreign countries to make plans for him, not to mention that he was also a senior swordsman, which would definitely attract the attention of senior foreign officials.
If that happens, even if the Kingdom of Jinas doesn't do anything to Li Ge, other countries will do it.
"You are still young. In fact, there is no need to be so anxious to do what you want to do." King Hemulinpu said in a persuasive tone: "It will definitely be very dangerous for you to travel around the mainland now. It is better to stay here first." Develop slowly at home, and when you have enough strength to make foreign countries fearful, it will not be too late to travel abroad. "
It has to be said that although King Hemulinpu tried so hard to persuade Li Ge to keep him, what he said was basically correct.
When Li Ge goes out to travel and is targeted by people from foreign countries when his strength is insufficient, there is indeed a high probability that his money will be in vain.
Only when he is strong enough to deal with all external malice, can Li Ge travel as much as he wants.
Otherwise, if the Kingdom of Jinas is so big, why can only one Sword Master be able to travel freely throughout the continent as an honorary nobleman without being restricted?
Because he is a sword master, the Kingdom of Jinas does not dare to dispatch him for trivial matters, and foreign countries do not dare to attack him casually to avoid being counterattacked.
"You are only 17 years old, and you are already a senior swordsman. I believe that in a dozen years, your name will definitely be among the swordsmen of Akasha Continent."
So said King Hemulimp.
"Let's do this. I promise you that you can travel freely within the kingdom when it is not necessary. As long as you don't step out of the country, you can go anywhere, and there won't be any trouble assigned to you. , how about until you become a sword master?”
At this point, King Hemulinpu was quite sincere.
With his promise, I believe that Li Ge will be freer and less constrained than ordinary honorary nobles.
Frankly speaking, the fact that King Hemulinpu could make such a promise was already the best ending in Yuli's opinion.
If that's the case, Li Ge can't be a nobleman, right?
It's a pity that neither Yuli nor Hemulin Pu understand Li Ge.
Ever since Hemulinpu wanted to tie Li Ge to the ship in the Kingdom of Jinas, it was destined that Li Ge would not agree to this.
He is already free and can go wherever he wants, so why does he need permission from others?
Even if he wants to join a foreign country, that is his freedom, instead of being tied to death on the ship of the Kingdom of Jinas like this.
Not even nominal affiliation.
Because this means that once the Jinas Kingdom is really in trouble, he will still have to accept the kingdom's orders and fight for this country no matter what.
And this is exactly what Li Ge doesn't want.
Even if he wants to fight for this country, it will not be under orders.
He also has no sense of belonging to this country. The only thing that makes him feel nostalgic is Yuli, and only the Franzel family where Yuli lives.
He does not object to joining a certain force, otherwise he would not have joined the Loki Familia in order to gain God's favor, nor would he have joined the Demon Slayer Corps just to follow the trend.
If it could make him feel a sense of belonging like the Loki Familia did, then even if he didn't belong to this Familia, wouldn't he help them?
If he could be treated with sincerity like Ubuyashiki Yōya and Purgatory Anjuro, then Li Ge could even help them fulfill their millennium long-cherished wish without any reason, and kill Onimatsuji, who had no enmity against him. No misery.
How does the Kingdom of Jinas compare to this?
Apart from Yuri, all Li Ge could see in this country was the struggle between various interests and powers.
There was a struggle between nobles and nobles.
There is a struggle between the royal family and the duke.
Even the small group that the original owner belonged to in Spliler College was only based on certain interests and reasons.
Only Yuli treated him sincerely from beginning to end, treating him as a friend instead of treating him as a talent who could make a difference or even be used like the royal family, the nobles, or those with ulterior motives. combat power.
King Hemulinpu would go to such trouble to make Li Ge accept the title arranged by the kingdom, in order to tie Li Ge to death in this country, and even win him over to support the royal family and the royal faction.
But Li Ge felt repelled and resisted by these.
Therefore, Li Ge spoke slowly.
"Until you become a sword master...right?"
Li Ge's voice slowly sounded and spread throughout the king.
"If that's the case, then I'll be fine."
This sentence made everyone present look puzzled for a while.
They didn't understand what Li Ge meant when he said there was no problem.
Only King Hemulinpu's eyes suddenly condensed.
"Li Ge?"
Yuli also didn't expect Li Ge to say that, and looked at him in surprise.
However, Li Ge did not intend to explain anything. He just looked at King Hemulinpu with such calm eyes that the king fell into unspeakable silence.
"His Majesty?"
The civil servants on the side seemed a little confused about King Hemulinpu's reaction. Seeing that he fell into silence, they immediately called out one after another.
King Hemulimp paid no attention to them.
He just stared at Li Ge, his eyes flickering, as if he had thousands of thoughts in his heart.
The entire king suddenly fell into an inexplicable silence, causing many people to look at each other.
It was not until a long time later that King Hemulimp spoke up.
"Speaking of which, I haven't seen you take action yet." King Hemulinpu suddenly said: "I wonder if you can satisfy my curiosity and let me see your sword skills?"
King Hemulinpu's sudden petition stunned many people.
Even Yuri is like this.
Only Lige understood the deep meaning of King Hemulinpu.
"How does Your Majesty plan to meet you?"
Li Ge spoke very indifferently.
Hemulinpu did not answer immediately, but looked aside.
"Albert."
He called someone by name.
"exist."
Among the people present, one person responded immediately.
That was a young man standing in the queue of knights, and he was still in the front position.
The young man is wearing a knight's uniform with a long hem. The knight's uniform is all white, creating a sense of uprightness and making the young man look like the most honorable knight, giving people a sense of trust at a glance.
"Albert Borlei is here, please give me your Majesty's orders."
The young man named Albert knelt down on one knee in front of the throne, with a loud voice and a correct attitude, showing an impeccable knightly style.
"Albert." Hemulinpu smiled and said as if he was looking at a loyal minister who was extremely satisfied with him: "You come to compete with Lord Brighaut. What do you think?"
"Yes." Albert said without hesitation: "If this is your Majesty's wish, I am very happy."
The young knight answered simply and without any hesitation.
However, the rest of the people present were shocked.
"You actually let Mr. Albert take action?"
"Your Majesty, what's going on?"
"this……"
Everyone finally couldn't help but started making noise.
Even Yuli's expression changed briefly, and there was a trace of solemnity, a trace of surprise, and a trace of worry in her eyes.
Li Ge saw everyone's reactions and then looked at the young knight.
At this glance, Li Ge realized that this knight was something extraordinary.
Through the transparent world, Li Ge could see that this knight's muscles were extremely solid and his body was extremely strong. There was a lot of magic flowing in his body, and it felt like his internal organs were full of power.
This person is anything but ordinary.
"Sir Brihaut." King Hemulimp asked Lige, "What do you think?"
Hearing this, Li Ge suddenly smiled.
"Can."
Things seem to be getting interesting.
The network collapsed...vomited blood...
