Noble Emblem

A young Brave walked out of his village, gathered companions to his side, defeated the Great Demon King, became famous, then came back with beauties in hand! This was a legend that appears in the world of Seyrol every 200 years! Our protagonist, however, isn’t a Brave. Even so, for over a thousand years his figure has loomed throughout its history. Unwittingly, the name of the Red Priest began to resound throughout the world. Red Priest’s legend included extraordinary sword techniques and magic, erudite knowledge, and an almost prophetic ability to lead young Braves toward the proper path. People of the world think of him as a descendent of the ancient Golden Race which led to his omnipotence. In essence, however, this was just the characteristics of the profession known as ‘Noble’. A word from the fabulousest translator/editor on Earth which is me I took upon this translation/editing project for the same reason I started translating my first Chinese novel. There are just too many big ass gems buried in a deep cesspool. I've long guessed that Qidian stopped introducing good Chinese novels on this platform in order to give some breathing room for English (and other) originals, but I don't agree with such approach. From a reader's standpoint, it is such a shame that we don't even know how many brilliant works we are missing because of the language barrier. To be honest, I'm mainly copypasting from the site called Novelhi. It is a really good resource and their machine translation is the best I've seen so far, and they also translate up to the latest available chapter. Still, they have several issues. For some reason they always miss the last paragraph which make you can missout on a potentially very important information related to a story, and they also have parts where just a couple of words gets repeated for a whole paragraph and it actually replaces the original text. They also translate an ad together with a chapter which is immersion breaking. I'll be correcting the inherent sins of such MTL with manual editing and translation and I will also polish some rough edges so that the readers will have as much seemless reading experience as possible. You will definitely have a better time reading this than me for sure

Bold

Most of the time, good intentions were rewarded in the end.

Beta had thought that he had lost contact with Perth, but now he realized that Aisha was also a member of the upper nobles, and it wasn't surprising that she knew some special information.

After sending away the resentful Aisha, Beta opened the internal affairs interface, but there was no information about the Trump family. This was normal. After all, Beta had only been in Perth for a few days. No matter how good his talent in internal affairs was, he couldn't have collected too much information in such a short time.

After a quick lunch, Beta went out again. This time, he went to the rich area.

At the same time, he ordered Joan Of Arc to continue monitoring the slums in the mental channel.

Although Perth was one of the most prosperous cities in the world, it was extremely polarized. The rich were extremely rich, and the poor were extremely poor. The number of middle-class people was pitifully small.

This was also a characteristic of the desert kingdom.

The rich area was obviously different from other places. Apart from the roads that were paved with special white sand, there were all kinds of exaggerated large mansions, and there were many dry iron trees that were unique to the desert.

This kind of tree was very drought-resistant and had a large crown. The only drawback was that it only bore fruit once in decades, and it grew very slowly. In the rich area, there were at least a thousand dry iron trees. It was conceivable that most of the dry iron trees near Perth must have been dug up.

Few people walked in the rich area, because ordinary civilians couldn't enter this area, so it was very quiet, except for the occasional sound of the wind blowing in the desert.

The Trump family was in the northwest of the rich area. It was easy to ask anyone on the road.

This was a villa that covered an area of about two thousand square meters. For the nobles, it wasn't particularly large, but for the ordinary people, such a building was something that they couldn't build in their entire lives … or even ten lifetimes.

Beta stood outside the wall of the Trump family for a while, memorized the magic coordinates of the place, and turned to leave.

He returned to the city and continued to collect information. It was a strange thing for a spellcaster to walk around the city. Many nobles knew that Beta left a bad impression last night because he was good at leaving banquets.

Many nobles usually liked to drink and chat in high-class places outside, and they also liked to sit on the balcony and look down at the civilians below, who walked around like ants, struggling for a living.

They were high and mighty, which made them feel as if they were gods themselves.

As Beta walked on the street, he was noticed by many nobles who were paying attention.

Gazes filled with mockery fell on Beta one by one.

As a Master-level expert, Beta naturally sensed these people's gazes. He walked and walked, then suddenly stopped and looked at the second floor on his right.

It was a rather luxurious tavern. Several nobles, both men and women, were sitting on the balcony on the second floor. Among them, a young noble was the most imposing. He looked at Betta as if he were looking at a clown.

Reading the man's eyes, Beta smiled. He leaped up lightly and jumped directly to the balcony on the second floor.

The women screamed in fright and jumped up from their seats, while the men all stood up and looked at Beta with some dissatisfaction.

Beta ignored the others and went straight to the young man who looked the most imposing and looked down on Beta the most.

"Your Excellency, your behavior is extremely rude." The young man's tone was indifferent, but his expression was a little stubborn. "It's hard to imagine that someone like you would be a Mage and even a lord."

Beta pressed lightly on the other party's shoulder, and the other party's expression changed drastically. He sat back in his seat as if he had eaten sh * t.

At this time, the others reacted and all at once accused Beta of being rude.

However, Beta's face darkened, and his noble temperament and Master-level mental strength gushed out. Within a radius of a hundred meters, it immediately became silent. Then, the pedestrians on the street immediately ran away, and it was a mess.

The young nobles on the balcony were so frightened that they sat on the ground, trembling all over.

Beta had always felt that the nobles of this world were very strange. They clearly knew that strength was the foundation of everything, but there were often some idiots who could not help but provoke people who were stronger than themselves.

For example, these young people in front of him who did not know the immensity of heaven and earth.

Although Beta was arrogant, he also knew how to judge the situation and worked hard to make himself stronger.

But what was the matter with these people? Did they think that they could look down on professionals who were stronger than them just because of their status? Or did they think that this was their country, and that a foreigner like Beta would not dare to cause trouble here?

The oppressive aura came quickly, and naturally left quickly as well. The oppressive aura of a Master was too much to deal with these young people who did not have much strength. Beta was afraid that they would all be left with some psychological sequelae if it was any longer.

The young man sat down and struggled to stand up, but Beta's hand was like a mountain pressing down on him, making him unable to move at all.

His face was dark, and there was some fear and anger in it. He suppressed his voice and asked, "What do you want to do?"

However, Beta smiled and asked, "What's your name?"

"Lune Maugham."

Hearing the voice that was almost forced out of his teeth, Beta smiled in satisfaction, and then continued to ask, "What's your background?"

"My father is the sheriff of Perth City …" The young man named Lune knew very well that this identity would definitely not be able to suppress the noble spellcaster in front of him, so he continued, "My grandfather is Count Cosell, and he has several large territories. He is also a person with real power in Sunland. If you do not want to cause a diplomatic dispute, you'd better apologize to me."

"Hehe, apologize?" Beta patted the man's head gently, as if an elder was encouraging a junior. "Why should I apologize to someone who looks down on me and even wants to mock me?"

"Because I am a noble," Lune said with a grim smile. "And this is Sunland, and you are an outsider. You beat up a noble in our territory. This crime is not so easy to justify. "

"So, you have to apologize to me and pay a certain price, or I will ask my grandfather to negotiate with the Kingdom of Hollevin. I don't think you can bear the crime of damaging the relationship between the two countries."

So that's what's going on. That's what the other party was planning, using this little political trick to offend and despise a Professional.

Under normal circumstances, even a Master would not dare to mess around in another country. After all, the relationship between countries was very sensitive, and it would be extremely difficult to clean up the mess if it was not handled properly.

But strange creatures like players were an exception. Players didn't care at all about the diplomatic relations between countries in the game, and Beta was at the top of the pyramid among players.

He was indeed a noble of Hollevin now, but in reality, he didn't think much of Hollevin, and he had no interest in whether the relationship between the two countries was hostile or not.

And now, he just wanted to complete the epic quest on his quest list.

He was worrying about how to find out the truth about the Trump family, and now that a guy had run into his gun, if he didn't take advantage of this opportunity, he would really be a disgrace to the name of a player.

"Lune Maugham?"

Beta looked at him with a faint smile, and a young noble next to him secretly hid a stick behind him. Seeing that Beta's back was to him, malice rose in his heart, and he was about to rush forward when he saw Beta look back at him. The young noble who planned to sneak up on him suddenly knelt on the ground, trembling all over.

"Then do you know who I am?"

"Is it important who you are?" Seeing that scene just now, Lune had a bad feeling in his heart, but his noble dignity didn't allow him to put down his pride and bow his head to apologize to the person he had just mocked. "You have to know, this is the city of Perth of Sunland, not your Hollevin."

From the perspective of Sunland, Lune was a good young man who didn't bow his head in the face of "evil forces," and worked hard to preserve the dignity of the country.

But the problem was that in many cases, the relationship between countries was indeed based on strength, and it just so happened that Beta was very strong and bold.

"This is indeed not Hollevin, but the more it is so, the easier it is for me. For example, do you know who I am? "

"A spellcaster? And a noble? "

Lune was already feeling more and more uneasy.

"I've never liked to talk like this. After all, there's a chance of being treated as pretentious and being laughed at." Beta shrugged helplessly. "But when I meet an idiot like you, I can only tell you my identity."

Lune narrowed his eyes and said stubbornly, "Then tell me, I'm listening, but you'd better not make me laugh."

"First of all, I'm a spellcaster, a Master."

Lune's eyes widened, and there was already some panic in his pupils.

"In addition, I'm also a lord."

Lune's expression was already a little ugly.

"And finally, I'm also the archbishop of the Temple of Woking."

People would eventually have some resistance after being hit too many times. At this time, Lune calmed down instead. "How do I know if what you're saying is not a lie?"

"The mayor knows my identity, and I think a small number of people in this city also know my identity. At the banquet last night, I didn't give the mayor a good look. Did you see what he did to me? Anyway, it's a young man like you who has a lot of guts. "

Lune was silent for a long time. He looked around at his companions who were a little scared and said with a bitter smile, "Okay, it's true that I'm too idiotic and too bold, I accept this lesson. Your Excellency, what do I have to do for you to let me go? "

"I need intelligence, especially about the Trump family? I'd be happier if you were allies with them."
