Chapter 541 If It Were Before
"Noble of the nearby palace, or noble of the imperial palace?"
Sonia raised her eyebrows slightly, showing some disdain: "The dignified second young master of Vosloda actually fell into being a middleman?"
It is natural for a magician in the Holy Domain to be knighted, but unless the magician himself is a noble of the nearby palace, he or she is a member of the palace noble system.
For a saint magician who is not born into a noble family but is granted the title of a close palace, there is only one situation where the holy magician marries a close palace noble, and the nearby noble family transfers the title to the magician.
If the nearby nobles have not cultivated elite magicians for many years and their titles are in danger of being 'adjusted' by the House of Nobles, then their only solution is to recruit a Holy Domain magician. So Felix asked her which title she would choose. Sonia's first reaction was that Felix came on behalf of a declining noble family and wanted to marry her.

But it’s not like Felix didn’t know who she was. When Felix proposed a fake marriage as a reward, the village girl refused. How could she agree to the marriage now that she was famous?
"You misunderstood. I don't want you to inherit the names of those declining noble families." Felix shook his head: "You no longer need to marry into a wealthy family. Sooner or later, you will become a wealthy family yourself."
"But holy domain magicians can indeed directly obtain the title of nearby palace, but most holy domain magicians have refused. If you don't believe it, you can go back and ask Professor Trozan..."
Sonia was startled: "But Sister Trozan is only a Lord of Bow. If she could become a noble of the nearby palace, why would she refuse?"
University professors are officers of the Institute of Education, and their salaries are shared by the university and the Institute of Education. Naturally, they are also in the political and judicial system. Ordinary second-wing professors are gun knights, third-wing professors are bow knights, and only the vice president and principal are armor knights.
Sister Trozan... Felix raised his eyebrows when he heard this title and continued: "Except for the lowest sword lord, all high-level knights must receive the blessings of the stars, you know, right?"
Sonia nodded.
It is precisely because of the existence of the blessings of the stars that the nobles in charge of legislative and executive power cannot violate the law and engage in selfish interests. They must serve the public and work hard to build a starry society.
Nobles had more rights and had to bear more responsibilities.
Sonia's previous impressions of the aristocratic system were average, but after hearing about the current situation of Blood Moon society from viewers, Sonia's recognition of the starry system increased sharply.
After all, although the country of Stars has serious class barriers, the society is stable and harmonious. Even if ordinary people are not rich, there is still no problem in living a comfortable life. For example, the short-sighted townspeople in her hometown, even if they have never been to Kalashi in their lives, does not prevent them from going home to watch the light screen after working every day, and living an ordinary life ignorantly and happily.
Compared with all the orphans, the Blood Moon Trial, and the disintegration of families in the Blood Moon Kingdom, the aristocratic system of Fanxing is simply not worth mentioning, not to mention that the aristocratic system has always been operating efficiently and excellently, and society has developed steadily.
"Similar to titles, the blessings of the stars are also graded." Felix said: "The 'stars' of the blessings of the stars not only describes the nobility as the stars of the country, but also directly points out the essence of this blessing. The blessing of the stars is to It relies on the stars to continue to take effect.”
"For example, Lord Shield needs one star to continue blessing, Lord Gun needs two stars, Lord Bow needs three stars, and Lord Armor needs four stars. As the rank increases, the intensity of blessings from the stars becomes stronger and stronger. In addition to It will make the nobles more and more loyal to the country, and also has the effects of enhancing insight, learning ability, delaying aging, etc.”
"The nobles of the Imperial Palace will never lose money if they upgrade their titles."
Sonia heard Felix's subtext: "Is it a disadvantage to become a noble of the near palace?"
Felix smiled slightly: "The blessings from the stars received by the lowest-ranking nobleman 'Viscount' also include powerful blessings such as extended lifespan, permanent youth, undiminished vitality, superior memory, insight into subtleties, and enhanced analytical ability. If we talk about armor. The lord has five stars to bless, so the viscount has at least a hundred."
"Isn't this great?" Sonia asked: "Don't the requirements for nobles close to the palace include more than loyalty to the country?"
Felix shook his head: "No, Konomiya is the same as Emiya. The only influence on their will is absolute loyalty, and they still only regard benefiting the stars as the highest priority."
"Then why?" Sonia asked halfway when she suddenly realized something.
"Did you find out?" Felix smiled and said: "The nobles of the imperial palace are only responsible for execution, which means that their absolute loyalty is as long as they ensure that they do not make mistakes, are lazy, and do not show favoritism. But the responsibility of the nobles of the close palace is You must propose bills in parliament, take charge of the country, and lead the people!”
"Now, when a close member of the House of Representatives with strong physical strength, superb memory, and enhanced analytical skills needs to fulfill his duties and propose a reasonable motion, guess what he will do?"
Sonia murmured: "Field research, analysis and research..."
"The famous 'Star Casting Lord' Vosloda basically has to take his staff to travel all over the star country for most of the year." Felix said calmly: "Among the nobles in the near palace, councilors with different titles, all The levels of motions that need to be proposed are also different. If a viscount councilor has his own team, he can basically complete the task by spending three months a year. Earl, Marquis, and Duke, the difficulty increases step by step. If the family is in decline and has no money to hire a consultant, the councilor will spend It’s not surprising to be up there all year long.”
"So you also understand why most of the Holy Domain magicians refuse to become close nobles."
Of course Sonia understands that, after all, the Holy Domain magician has to focus on exploring the virtual realm. He wants to spend all his time honing his skills. How can he be willing to spend time studying the proposal?
Even the village girl has given up on becoming a noble. She originally wanted to have a hereditary viscounty title in her lifetime, but she obviously has no interest in becoming a member of the parliament. The audience heard that the responsibility of the parliamentarian is not to be carried by her overnight. Run away.
"However, the nobles close to the palace are not all responsible."
As if the village girl was frightened, Felix added: "Because they are close to the center of power, and the intelligence of the nobles near the palace has been strengthened, they can almost easily make profits from the development of the country. Even if their chamber of commerce is different from ordinary people, When merchants compete, they can also take advantage of every opportunity... Every noble of the nearby palace is a wealthy family that has been passed down from generation to generation."
"It is precisely because they can occupy too many social resources that the nobles of the Imperial Palace have a rigid target for the number of magicians they can train. Those who occupy resources but cannot spend them can just become Imperial nobles."
"No matter how many benefits there are to the nobles in the near palace, I can't choose." Sonia said: "My journey as a magician will not stop here."
"I know." Felix said: "So, I am inviting you on behalf of my organization, and the bargaining chip is"
"The psychic suggestion that makes you immune to the blessings of the stars."
Sonia was startled and asked: "Your organization...that magician mutual aid group?"
"That's right." Felix spread his hands and said: "There is no contract, no compulsion. As long as you are willing to join us, we will help you become immune to the spiritual suggestions of the blessings of the stars. In other words, you can enjoy the benefits of the blessings of the stars, but you do not have to be affected by them. 'Faithful to the Stars' Bondage.”
"Even if you choose to become a noble of the nearby palace, it will not delay your journey as a magician, but you can become a wealthy family in one fell swoop."
"Viscount Servi, how about this title?"
Sonia was silent for a moment and said: "If you have this ability, then the person you want to win over should not be me."
"You are indeed not the first person to be attracted by this bargaining chip." Felix said.
In the flash of lightning, Sonia thought of many things.
Since she is not the first, it means that there are already many nobles in this country, and the first priority in their hearts is no longer loyal to the stars. So what do these people want?
"Don't get me wrong, we don't want to subvert the stars." Felix said: "We are just a group of like-minded magicians who pursue power. The reason why we want to get rid of the shackles of the blessings of the stars is just to have fewer obstacles on the path of magicians. And our numbers are small, let alone subversion, we can’t even shake the stars.”
Sonia was a little strange: "If you want to get rid of the shackles completely, then you can not be a noble."
"The catalog of starry miracles you see now is incomplete." Felix said: "Only nobles can read the complete catalog of miracles and obtain the redemption rights for the royal magic spirit treasure house. If you do not become a noble, you will not accept the blessings of the stars. , Fanxing’s truly advanced resources will not be open to you.”
"I remember I asked you if you would like to become a noble after you knew the secret of the blessing of the stars. Your answer at that time was yes." Felix looked at her and said: "Now you become a three-winged magician , your answer still hasn’t changed?”
Seeing Sonia's silence, Felix knew that she was tempted.
Sonia was sincere when she said she was willing, and her hesitation now is also true.
Eryi and Sanctuary are two completely different classes. The former is still a cog in society, but the latter can already control their own life.
Personal will, of course, can be easily sold when you are a cog; but if you can touch freedom, then you will subconsciously be stingy with your loyalty.
However, there is no need to rush to force her to express her position. When she goes back and asks Trozan to learn more about the nobles, she will naturally come up with the correct answer.
So Felix stood up: "I won't disturb you for now. If you are interested, you can come to me."
"When you mentioned nobles just now," Sonia suddenly asked, "Did you exclude Sword Lords?"
Felix was stunned, nodded and said: "The Sword Lord is a reserve member of the nobility, and is not yet qualified to receive the blessings of the stars. Because of this, the Sword Lord has almost no aristocratic authority, and his position can only be that of an ordinary guard, officer, or officer, and he cannot control it. that power."
"That's fine."
"That's okay?"
"I just need to be a Sword Lord." Sonia said casually: "Everyone calls me Sword Lady. Don't the titles of Sword Lord and I go well together? I appreciate your kindness, but I don't need your help."
"Why!?" Felix immediately sat back: "Do you know what you are talking about? Even if you are not a noble of the near palace, you can't just stay as a Sword Lord!"
"Why not?"
"If you want to be a professor, you must be promoted to Lord Gong, and you will also receive the blessings of the stars when the time comes!"
"Then I won't be a professor." Sonia said with a smile: "I didn't want to teach in the first place. My career is a singer and a movie queen."
"Movie girls and singers are under the jurisdiction of the Cultural Center, and they also have titles." Felix said: "Important film and television programs, albums sung across the country, film and television dramas with major investments... these are ordinary resources, as long as they are national All film and television resources give priority to artists with titles!”
"If you stay at the Sword Lord level, then the college league is the only stage where you can appear nationwide!"
Sonia blinked: "That's indeed a pity."
"Besides, don't you think about your mother?" Felix said: "The Sword Lord can only extend the temporary residence of his relatives in Galaxian to 100 days, but still cannot live permanently, because the House of Nobles has changed from one From the beginning, there was no intention for people to stay at the Sword Lord level. As long as ordinary operators work hard, they can be promoted to Shield Lord within five years and have permanent family residence... If you stay at the Sword Lord level, you cannot bring your mother to Galashi. Got it!"
"Thank you for your concern." Sonia smiled: "But I discussed this with my mother a few days ago, and she actually doesn't want to come."
"ah?"
"Although I have always thought about having my own business in Kalashi, and then bringing my mother here to enjoy the blessings, this is just my wish, not my mother's idea." The village girl shrugged: "She is different from me. She doesn’t yearn for the prosperous Kalashi, nor does she hate that boring and remote town. I think that town is a familiar prison, and she also thinks Kalashi is a strange prison cell.”
"And since my news came back, those relatives who bully good and fear evil are getting better and better towards her. She is very satisfied with her current life and just wants to protect our family's land."
Felix couldn't understand that some people would rather stay in Agricultural Town than come to Kalashi. She shook her head and said, "With all due respect, your mother's idea is too short-sighted, but you..."
"My mother is a village girl, and I am the daughter of a village girl." Sonia spread her hands: "My mother wants to guard our family's land, and I just want to protect everything I value, rather than risk pursuing things that are not my responsibility. resources.”
"What about your career?" Felix asked: "You can be dazzling as long as you take one step forward. Are you willing to stay here?"
Sonia blinked.
"In the past, maybe I would have promised you a long time ago." She said: "Yes, I do long to stand on the stage and become a movie queen and singer like Deida Rose, to be the admiration and dream of others. Childhood. Eyes on everyone, famous among stars."
"But, my life is not just career."
Sonia closed the book, stood up and said, "Felix, what you felt just now is actually right."
Felix asked in despair: "What?"
"If it were before, I would have definitely indulged in the beauty brought by the halo of the Holy Domain Magician, attended extravagant banquets, and enjoyed the adulation of everyone; if it had been before, I would have been happy to accept your invitation and become an irresponsible person. As a noble, enjoy the resources that only nobles can have; if it were before, I would definitely be pretending to be humble and really showing off when I speak now..."
Sonia put the books into her schoolbag, put them on her back and waved goodbye.
"If it were before."
11pm.
Sonia, whose soul has recovered, is already ready in the meditation building.
Don't be nervous, she thought.
There is nothing to be nervous about. Since the viewer was able to deliver the potion to her table five days ago, it means that the viewer is out of danger. Be calmer later, unless the viewer is the first to show concern for her, then she can show a little hypocrisy as appropriate.
Don't be nervous...don't be nervous...
As the familiar feeling spreads, the soul connects to the virtual realm, and the consciousness sinks into the empty space.
Sonia opened her eyes and found herself on a street surrounded by people.
She confirmed that she was in a 'dream' in the distant airspace, but when she looked around, her mood instantly felt like falling into an ice cave.
There were strange pedestrians all around.
There is no viewer, no witch.
She subconsciously held the hilt of the sword, suppressed the desire for destruction in her heart, and walked quickly down the street to look around.
No.
No.
No.
The more he looked around, the heavier the depression in his chest became, as if it was blocking his throat. Turning another corner, seeing the street full of strangers, Sonia couldn't walk any further. Her lips trembled and she couldn't help but vent all her frustration:
"Viewer!"
"exist!"
Sword Girl turned her head to look at the street behind her, and saw the spectators raising their hands stupidly and looking around. When their eyes met, they immediately moved towards each other.
Sonia was still walking at first, but soon turned into a foot race, and finally started running, knocking all passers-by away. The passerby who was knocked away seemed to want to express his opinion, but when he saw that the hilt of the sword she was holding had been slightly pulled out, he watched her leave with his eyes.
As the distance got closer and closer, Sonia's heart slowly dropped, and what followed was an uncontrollable excitement that made her almost want to pounce.
"Viewer!"
Sword Princess stopped and watched the witch pounce on the viewer.
