Chapter 5 of Volume 6: The Title of Nobility

  Ernst Magic Academy does not publicly disclose magic spells of level 7 and above.

  If you want to learn more advanced skills, you can only choose to rely on one side.

  "Thank you, Lord Gilmer, Lord Lampson." Lin Lei said gratefully.

  Lin Lei's mind also recalled the descriptions of some powerful wind system magic in the books, and the more advanced the wind system magic was, the more terrifying its power became. Especially single-target attack magic, which could even be said to be the first among all systems.

  Like the forbidden magic "Dimensional Blade", like the 9th level magic "True Vacuum Assassination Technique".

  "Lin Lei, like this, when we return to Fenlai City, I will immediately send someone to inform Clyde. Clyde will confer a title upon you in the near future and bestow a manor upon you." Gilmer said with a smile.

  Lin Lei nodded slightly.

  "Ling Lei." Next to him, Lampson patted Ling Lei's shoulder intimately. "Some things in the officialdom don't need you to worry about, what you need to do is to quietly cultivate, I really want to see that within fifty years, our Glory Temple will have another Saint Realm expert emerge."

  Fifty years?

  Lin Lei was confident that he would become a Holy Domain Dragon Blood Warrior within fifty years. As for becoming a Holy Domain Magic Master in fifty years, the difficulty was too great.

  "Work hard." Gilmer also patted Lin Lei's shoulder enthusiastically.

  A luxurious carriage was galloping along the country road, with cypress trees rapidly receding into the distance behind it. In front of and behind the carriage were rows of majestic knights. This grand procession had already arrived at Finlay City by noon.

  Finlay Castle, in the Deb's family mansion living room.

  "Alice, can you forgive me?" Kalan said, gazing at Alice while holding her hand.

  Alice nodded slightly with a hint of helplessness.

  What can she do?

  "Roline will be here soon." Alice said softly, "I'll go back first."

  No matter what, Alice and Kaito are not yet husband and wife, even if they are engaged. Only after the formal wedding ceremony can they be considered a true married couple. And before that, Alice still needs to avoid suspicion. Every day she returns to her own home.

  "Roland?" Karl's eyebrows furrowed at the mention of this name.

  Luolin is his legitimate wife, Ka Lan.

  Because of the fame of the stone carving 'Dream Awakening', the woman carved by 'Dream Awakening' has also deeply entered the hearts of many people. Once Kalan is engaged, I'm afraid many people will recognize Alice. The Debus family has already chosen a legitimate wife for Kalan in a short period of time.

  "Card Blue."

  A cheerful voice rang out, and a blonde girl with a long braid ran over happily. The girl looked very innocent and had a noble air about her. Especially those big, shining eyes made her look even more adorable.

  "Roline, you're here." Kalan forced a faint smile.

  Kalan also had to admit that Roline was a very lovely girl. Being with Roline, probably no one would refuse. It's just that in his heart, he truly loved Alice.

  "Where's Uncle Bernard?" Rowan's big eyes darted back and forth.

  "My father has gone out on business and will probably be back soon," Kalan replied.

  Kalan was well aware of what his father had gone to do, because the oppression of Dawson Chamber of Commerce had caused Debus family's various businesses in the Kingdom of Finlay to almost all collapse, losing money every day. Such losses would be fine for a year or two, but if it went on for too long, even with a thick foundation, the family wouldn't be able to withstand it.

  Moreover, a family cannot just sit back and enjoy their wealth. After all, other families in the kingdom of Finlay are also watching with envy.

  So... his father Bernard made a very threatening decision, smuggling aquamarine mines.

  Aquamarine is a relatively precious crystal, generally used for inlaying on magic wands. It's very beneficial for water system magicians. Aquamarine has a large underground reserve in the kingdom of Finley, and the kingdom also made a fortune from it.

  Due to the preciousness of water jade, it naturally led many people to start smuggling water jade.

  However, smuggling aquamarine is deeply detested by His Majesty King Clyde, and for those smugglers who get caught, Clyde would directly sentence them to death. But the profit from smuggling aquamarine is too great, with a return of five or six times the investment, which is enough to make these merchants risk their lives.

  In the past, the Debus family didn't need to take risks, but now there's no way out.

  The legitimate trade route was completely blocked by Dowson's Chamber of Commerce, and the Debus family had no choice but to smuggle!

  "It shouldn't go wrong, should it?" Kalan thought to himself, "The partner my father chose is the current Minister of Finance for the kingdom, His Majesty's younger brother, Duke Paderson. The possibility of problems arising from cooperating with him should be very low."

  Paderson, who is the Minister of Finance of the Kingdom of Finlay.

  As the manager of a kingdom's finances, Clyde naturally had himself appointed as the new Minister of Finance.

  "Uncle Bernard is back." Lorraine's crisp voice rang out.

  Kala also looked up.

  Bernard walked in from outside the door with a smile on his face and saw Lauren smiling, saying: "Lauren, you're here? Have you had dinner?"

  "Not yet." Rolen replied.

  Bernard nodded: "Tonight, you'll have dinner with your brother Kalan. Yes, I have something to discuss with your brother Kalan, so go chat with Alice first. Later, I'll let your brother Kalan come and keep you company." Bernard said this while giving a signal to Kalan.

  Cleverly, Carla followed Bernard into the secret room.

  Closed the stone gate and lit the candle.

  "Father, how is it?" Kalan anxiously asked.

  Bernard had a self-satisfied smile on his face: "I've already discussed it with the Duke of Paderson, and he's agreed to our terms. However, this time the profit will be split 50/50."

  "What's the split?" Kalan glared, "Father, isn't this Patterson Duke being too greedy? The smuggling of water jade mine stones was funded by our family, and even the personnel were provided by us. He just arranged some channels and ensured the safety of the smuggling routes."

  Kala understands the importance of channels.

  But the Debus family spent too much money, while Paddison didn't spend a single gold coin and just made a move to shut down and got a huge fortune.

  "It's still acceptable to split five-five." Bernard said with a faint smile, "This Paderson Duke is not just arranging channels, the most important thing is that he betrayed Finlay Kingdom and his brother by doing so. If Clyde finds out, even if Paderson is his own brother, I'm afraid Clyde won't show mercy."

  Kala nodded slightly.

  The other was a duke and also the Minister of Finance. It's understandable that he would take such great risks to arrange the channel and get half of the profit.

  Bernard and Caleb walked out of the secret room and returned to the living room. At this time, Roland was chatting with Alice.

  "Ah, Kalan, I just found out from Paderson that in three days' time, His Majesty the King will personally confer a title on Lin Lei at the palace." Bernard instructed, "You go prepare a gift for me, I'll be giving it to Lin Lei in a few days."

  Kala nodded.

  Alice, who was talking to Lorraine nearby, couldn't help but glance over here.

  "Lin Lei big brother, is he going to be enfeoffed?" Alice muttered to herself.

  The grand hall in the palace of Finlay City.

  Dozens of noble ministers stood in order under the grand hall, while Clyde was high above, looking down at the crowd below.

  "Ladies and gentlemen, I have a major announcement to make today." Clyde said with a bright smile. Some of the ministers who had already received the news in private were well aware of what Clyde was going to say. Clyde glanced at the attendant beside him, and that court attendant immediately shouted loudly: "Pass Lin Leibaru, enter the hall."

  The sound spread out, and after a while, Lin Lei, wearing a black and gold mixed mage robe, walked into the grand hall. The eyes of all the nobles and ministers in the entire grand hall were cast towards Lin Lei.

  "Your Majesty." Lin Lei bowed respectfully and said.

  Clyde looked at Lin Lei, a smile blooming on his face: "Lin Lei, I'm delighted that you can serve the kingdom. From now on, I appoint you as the First Court Magician of the Kingdom of Fenley and grant you the title of Marquis."

  "Gentlemen, do you have an opinion?" Clyde glanced down below.

  The noble ministers below all looked at Lin Lei with envy, but none of them raised any objections.

  "Your Majesty, I thank you." Lin Lei immediately bowed his head in gratitude.

  Actually, according to Cardinal Gilmour's words, the Holy See of Light can make Lin Lei a duke. It's just that Lin Lei thinks it's too shocking. After all, he didn't have any titles in the past. Suddenly being promoted too much isn't good either.

  So take a step back and first become a marquis.

  "Lin Lei, as the First Court Magician and a Marquess, you naturally can't continue living in Dawson's Merchant Guild anymore. I've arranged for a very secluded mansion for you, located on Green Leaf Road, not far from the palace." Clyde said with a smile.

  Lin Lei immediately thanked him again.

  Actually, about the title and the mansion, Clyde had already discussed it with Lin Lei last night, today in the grand hall of the palace is just a public announcement.

  When leaving the grand hall, Lin Lei also started talking with these ministers.

  The highest level of the Kingdom of Fenley, mainly the Legion Commander, Right Prime Minister, Left Prime Minister, Chancellor of Finance, and Inspector General, are only a handful of people. These few people almost control all kinds of internal affairs in the Kingdom of Fenley. Most of their titles are Dukes, and even the lowest-ranking Inspector General holds a Marquis title.

  On Green Leaf Road.

  Lin Lei sat in the carriage with his eyes closed, meditating quietly.

  "Lord Lin Lei, we've arrived." A voice came from outside the carriage.

  Lin Lei opened his eyes and then lifted the curtain and got off the carriage. Beibei directly jumped onto Lin Lei's shoulders from the carriage.

  "Wow, what a big mansion." Beibei's eyes shone brightly as she gazed at the mansion in front of her.

  Lin Lei also carefully looked at the mansion bestowed by His Majesty, this mansion was indeed very spacious, and the gate alone was enough to be ten meters wide. Through the open gate, Lin Lei could see many male and female servants inside, as well as several knights from the temple.

  "Not bad." Lin Lei nodded and stepped inside.

  "Sir." The gatekeeper bowed respectfully, and immediately the maids and servants in the front yard of the mansion all stopped what they were doing and bowed to Lin Lei.

  The first time you want to leave a good impression on your master, the servants here all know their master's strengths and weaknesses.

  "Master Lin Lei, congratulations, congratulations!" Suddenly a familiar voice came from beside him.

  Lin Lei turned his head and looked over: "Mr. Bernard."

  The newcomer was Bernard, the head of the Debus family. He smiled at Lin Lei: "Master Lin Lei, what a coincidence! My family's mansion is also on Green Leaf Road, just one house away from yours. It'll be much more convenient for us to visit each other in the future."

  "Oh." Lin Lei also remembered that the first time he saved Alice and Carla, etc., and sent them to Carla's house, it seemed that Carla's house was not far from here.

  "But Master Lin Lei's mansion is much larger than my family's. Your mansion used to be the emperor's own residence, wasn't it?" Bernard said with flattery.

  Lin Lei also found the mansion to be astonishingly large, much larger than his own ancestral home. To have such a large mansion in the expensive city of Fenlai, it's not something that can be achieved simply by having money. This was originally where Lord Clyde himself resided, no wonder.

  "Mr. Bernard, I'll take my leave first, let's talk again when we have time." Lin Lei smiled humbly and turned to enter the mansion.

  At this time, at the entrance of the Debus family, Kalan, Roland and Alice were standing together, looking far away.
