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

Demon

As the captain of the personal Knight Legion of Emma, Lord Isnas and the third princess of Hollevin, Caesar had always had an inexplicable sense of superiority.

After all, he was protecting Princess Emma, who was known to be the most beautiful woman in Hollevin. Princess Emma was gentle and knowledgeable, and she was also the Holy Lady of the Temple of Storm.

With two exaggerated titles, coupled with her own abilities and territory, Emma could be said to be one of the best girls in the world. For most men, she had a fatal attraction.

However, she had been training in the Temple of Storm recently, and it was hard for the Knight Legion to meet her. But yesterday, Joseph sent someone to deliver news that the princess had returned, but she had brought back an unknown man.

Everybody in the Knight Legion was infuriated. It was intolerable.

For the Knight Legion, internal competition was not a problem, but outsiders were not allowed to interfere. There were many descendants of great nobles in the Knight Legion. They were willing to become Emma's Knight because they all had common intentions.

Caesar's first reaction when he saw Liang Lidong was that he was a strong opponent. The guy was handsome, and he wasn't bad himself. However, the guy was wearing a red magic robe, which was a great advantage for spellcasters. Besides, he believed that spellcasters could communicate better with each other, which was extremely disadvantageous for the Knight Legion.

That was why he asked about the guy's family background. Although there were few spellcasters, there were still some among the nobles. As long as he could suppress the guy at home, he felt that he would have a fair chance of competing. Otherwise, he would have to resort to dirty tricks.

That was why he opened his mouth to ask. His words did indeed have the intention of suppressing the other party's imposing manner, but he did not expect that the other party's counterattack would be so sharp … The other party directly reduced himself to a liar. This was already a clever move to advance by retreating.

Hearing that, Caesar knew that things weren't good.

As he expected, Princess Emma immediately scolded him. He had to reevaluate the guy's abilities … Also, he could tell that this spellcaster was very aggressive in interpersonal skills. He shut up immediately.

He immediately shut his mouth … If he said anything more at this time, it would only lower his impression in Princess Emma's heart.

After that, Caesar watched the princess and her three friends finish their meal, and then watched them wander around the city. When night fell, Princess Emma wanted to rest. Caesar could only leave her side and return to the Knight Order's encampment.

He didn't really want to leave, but he had no choice. The princess did not invite him to stay.

After returning to the Knight Order's encampment. Many people immediately surrounded him. These people were his subordinates and also members of the Knight Order.

Caesar looked at the people around him and said, "The information that butler Joseph reported to us is correct. The Princess has indeed brought back a man. Not only is that man a Spell Caster, but he's also very capable."

Her words immediately caused an uproar among the crowd. A Knight straightened his neck and said angrily, "How can you do this? How can the Princess do this?"

"Why can't I do that?" Caesar scolded, "We are just the Princess' Knight. Who told you that we must be the Princess' husband or lover?"

"But we have done so much for the princess."

Caesar laughed sarcastically. "How much did you do? With the rations that the Princess gave you. Apart from the three hours of necessary exercise every day, the rest of the time is spent in taverns or banquets. This can be considered as doing a lot for the Princess. Don't make me laugh. "

"So you mean to let the Princess be seduced by an outsider?"

Caesar took a breath and said, "Of course not. I just want to tell everyone that the Princess doesn't owe us anything. If we still have such an attitude, the Princess will definitely marry out. She will no longer choose a husband or lover from among us. Now that the crisis has come, we have to think about it together, treat it seriously, and think about how to get rid of that damn bastard. Then we can compete among ourselves. "

Someone suggested, "Let's unite everyone's background to oppress him. No matter how powerful he is, no matter how powerful he is, he can't compete with us. "

Caesar nodded. "That's a good idea, but be careful when you do it. You have to do it without leaving any traces, or it will cause Her Highness to be unhappy. Come, let's go in and discuss it. "

On the other side, Liang Lidong was making magic scrolls in his room. He had purchased a lot of magic materials from the Guild of Mercenaries when he was shopping today. At this moment, there were hundreds of kilograms of gold bricks in his Backpack. He was definitely a big tycoon.

Speaking of the gold bricks, Liang Lidong intended to give some to Emma and the others, but Emma and Kail both turned him down except for Alice.

Emma said with a smile that she already had a fief and a lot of money and didn't need gold bricks. Besides, she had already received the princess's crown and other accessories. She was satisfied.

Kail, on the other hand, was not interested in money at all. Besides, if he married Barbara, he would own half of Winterwind. So, he didn't really care about money. What he wanted most at this moment was to travel around and broaden his horizons.

If he offered the gold bricks to Goddess Woking, they would be enough for him to reach level ten and become a Master. But on second thought, he abandoned the idea.

After all, if his guess was correct, the holy war would come very soon, and the world would be in chaos. When he was shopping during the day, he already saw minor conflicts between the local Temple of Storm and the Temple of Life's believers.

In the past, there had been such frictions, but this time, Liang Lidong saw something different. It was the faint hostility hidden under the noise.

If the holy war really broke out, and he had nothing else to do, it would be better for him to offer gold bricks to level up. But now, he was going to develop the Woking Church and Reed Village, so money was necessary.

Besides, there were a lot of gold bricks. Together with the monthly share from the gold mines in Winterwind, it was enough for the early development.

Besides, now that his quest system had been activated, he would level up much faster than before. After all, it took him no more than eight years to become a Legend in the game. He might be slower in reality, but he was definitely much faster than ordinary people.

So, it would be more appropriate not to offer gold bricks to level up.

While thinking, he made magic scrolls. Very soon, it was late at night. The entire castle was pitch-black, and only the sentry posts were barely lit.

He snapped his fingers, and a white mist slowly appeared and enshrouded the whole castle.

The Mist Manipulation spell did not have any mana fluctuations. If it appeared slowly, most people would only think that it was an ordinary thick fog.

Even Emma wouldn't suspect that the mist was caused by Liang Lidong as long as they didn't go out.

Joan Of Arc was still sleeping on the bed. The bird was getting more and more sleepy, which probably had something to do with her upcoming advancement. Magic pets were different from human beings. Human beings couldn't make a breakthrough until they reached level ten, but magic pets could advance when they reached level eight.

At this moment, Joan Of Arc was level seven, and she was preparing for her next growth.

Liang Lidong cast Slow Landing and jumped out of the window, landing on the grass without a sound.

He suspected that other demons were hiding in the castle, but he didn't tell Emma. After all, it was just a suspicion, and Emma might be unhappy or nervous if he told her.

So, he decided to investigate it himself.

The greatest advantage of Mist Manipulation was that it was permeable. As long as there was a gap for the mist to seep in, it would be effective.

In addition, Mist Riding also had the ability to detect enemies. Liang Lidong looked at the yellow and green creature targets in the system and waited patiently.

However, in order not to make the mist look too exaggerated, he reduced the density of the mist.

After waiting for about five minutes, the red prompts finally came. There were three of them, each of which was slightly larger than the others, indicating that their energy reactions were very strong.

Liang Lidong followed the direction and found the entrance to a cellar in the woods on the left side of the castle. He flicked it and avoided an alarm. Then, he walked in.

The cellar seemed to have been built a long time ago, because the soil here had become very solid. Obviously, someone had reinforced it from time to time.

The passage to the cellar wasn't deep. After only a few steps, Liang Lidong found a corner up ahead, from which vague sounds and light came.

He took a few steps forward and listened carefully.

"Nielson is dead. According to the message sent from above, the red priest seems to have the ability to see through invisibility. We have to be extra careful."

"Then we won't go out for a while. We'll continue our activities after he leaves."

"The problem is that the higher-ups want us to continue to push the deviated fate back on the right track, which is troublesome."

"In the past, we could use our invisibility to do a lot of things. Even if the little princess wanted to change, as long as we were here, she could always change her fate back. But now, a nemesis has come. What should we do? "

"Why don't we avoid the red priest first and poison the food? As long as we find a way to kill him, things will be much easier."

"Okay, let's do that. Now, everyone go out and search for magic materials to make the poison."

The sound of footsteps came from the end.

Liang Lidong put his hand into his dimensional backpack and took out two light magic scrolls. As soon as the leading demon appeared from the corner, he threw them at him.

In an instant, the whole passage was filled with light. Because Liang Lidong was prepared, he had closed his eyes. But the other side was different. They only heard three screams, as miserable as a male pig being castrated.

Light Illumination … could barely be regarded as an area-of-effect buff spell, which could dispel some specific negative magic, but for demons, it was a powerful area-of-effect skill.

Listening to their screams, Liang Lidong felt that they were still full of energy so he threw a chain lightning over.
