Advertisement
After paying the Gate toll, Gabriel and the Barthélemy family walked inside the Dragon Peak city. Gabriel can see many people walking around the city; some of them are a commoner while the other is a Noble. They continue to walk toward the center of the City, where the Palace located.
They continue to ride for a minute before they arrive at the palace, The palace is massive, and if looked from under the castle, it was like seeing a tower that touches the sky. As they arrive in front of the palace they get stopped by the palace guard, but Arthur explains their reason to go to the palace. Arthur's reasoning is to meet his wife, the Duchess of Arcadia, and the Advisor of the current king. As for Gabriel, his reasoning is to register himself as a noble. After saying it, Gabriel shows his ID where he takes his ID inside his office for a minute before he comes back and says.
"All cleared, please proceed toward the Prime he currently inside his office to the left."
"Come on, Gabriel, I will show you the way."
"Thank you, Arthur."
Arthur then leads him to the Prime Minister office, where he should be able to register his Noble Status. After knocking at the Prime Minister door, Arthur and Gabriel then walked inside the office and greeted by a man with Red hair, Green eyes while wearing glasses.
"Welcome, how can I help... Oh, it's you, Arthur, how are you, my friend?"
"Hello, Archibald long time no see and I'm fine, thank you"
"So, What can i do for you?"
"My friend here wants to register his new noble status"
"Really? Then please give me your ID."
Gabriel then gives the Prime Minister his ID, where he checks the ID for a second before writing something on his book and then looks at him and said.
"With this, you are a Baron of D'arc family."
"Eh? Didn't I need to do some paperwork?"
"Hah, yeah, you should have, but if Arthur is calling you his friend, then you don't need any paperwork."
"I-I Thank you."
"No problem, now which land to you want?"

"Land?"
"Of course land, every Noble need land for themself."
"Can... Can I not choose any land? because I am planning to travel around the world and not stay in one place."
"I see, but it's okay. You don't need to stay at your fief all the time, you can stay for time to time, and you are good."
"Can't I just become Baron without a land?"
"No, you can't every noble need a fief to call themself a noble."
"I-I... Verywell"
"Then, you can take land on this list..."
"Wait, Archibald."
"What is it, Arthur?"
"He can also take a piece of land on my territory if he wants."
"Are you sure?"
"Yeah, the land is fertile and easy to planting any plant, and it was also has a river that connects my territory and Marquess Reiner."
"Very well, So Gabriel, do you want this land?"
"Yes, please."
"Good then here, your Land certificate, give this to the Village chief in your territory, and he will show you the mansion where you will stay."
"Thank you."
"No problem, is there anything else?"
"No"
"Then can you leave us? I need to discuss something with Arthur for a minute."
Gabriel then leave the office and began to walk toward the city where he finds an Inn and rent some room to stay for 1 week, Gabriel has a plan to increase his level while also doing some quest that the Adventure Guild will provide him.
"First thing first, I need to earn some money to buy a skill Book."
When they are on the road, Gabriel able to learn from Arthur that someone can buy a Skill book and use it to get a skill without training yourself for years to gain it. There is a requirement if someone wants to buy a skill book, The first thing is the person must be noble and the second thing is they must be at least level 50 and already upgrade their job.
"I guess I will take some quest then."
================================================================
After the new Noble Lord leave, Archibald then began to face his old friend Arthur Barthélemy the former General of Imperial Army.

"Arthur, why are you giving him that specific land?"
"I have my reasoning."
"You know that land has a high-level Dungeon, right? The same dungeon that makes you retired from the Army"
Archibald looks at his friend with a stern expression, but Arthur did not answer his question and stay silent.
"Can you at least tell me your reason?"
"It was my feeling that was telling me that he able to clear that dungeon, Old Friend"
"Are you kidding?"
"No, I'm serious about this one."
"That dungeon has a monster with a minimum level of 75 and the strongest monster inside it is the Goblin Emperor with the name of Borg, It currently has a level of 150, and you want him to cleared this dungeon?"
"Yes"
"Are you insane?"
"No, I'm not."
"Haaaah, I don't care anymore. That particular dungeon already has many victims, including you. Anyway, hows your Arms and Leg?"
"They are already healed"
"Wait, really?"
"Yeah"
Arthur then shows him his Arms that should be has a large wound on it, but the former wound is vanished and replaced by smooth skin.
"How?"
"Gabriel, heal all my injuries."
"Really?"
"Yeah"
"Then he should be good for the Hero..."
Before Archibald able to finish his sentences, Arthur releasing a massive killing intent that makes him almost fainted. After a few seconds, Arthur's expression began to calming down.
"Don't say anything about that 'Hero' c*nt because of their arrogant we lose many soldiers in the wave. We also lose many good commanders because of their ignorant."
Archibald still remembers when the 'Heroes' first monster wave where they fight the monster with some flashy technique without care for their surroundings, which results in a friendly fire that killed almost 10 people with that single attack.
While the 'Heroes' Mage is bad, Archibald has shiver when he remembers their so-called healer. The healer has incredible power that makes all her healing spell insanely powerful but the attitude that makes her the most hated person in the Heroes group. She has a policy that all-male won't get any healing because of their Filthy and Perverted Nature. That single attitude that makes many people died in the monster wave. This attitude become stronger when the other male heroes are all Pervert.
The third hero is the swordsman, this hero is the most likable person in the hero group. He has a charming personality, polite, and also a hardworking person. He is the reason why the King didn't Order his guard to execute the Hero Party.
The fourth hero is their Knight. This hero is the most egoist and perverted person Archibald ever meet. When they get summoned and get their first job, this Hero complaining about he doesn't want to become a 'Tank,' so he put all his Stats point into STR and go killing the monster without thinking about his comrade that need protection. He is also the person that stealing many woman underwear and sniffs it as if it was the most precious object he ever holds.
The last hero is another Mage, but this time it's a female mage, while the other one is an Elementalist, this mage use Void Magic where she can open up a portal and teleport around the battlefield. She also the most egoist hero, as she uses her comrade as a meat shield by switching places with other people when the monster comes and attacking her. Many people already said that she should be able to teleport to another place instead of using other people as her shield but, her response is that she doesn't have enough mana, and she wants to farm so 'EXP' or something like that.
Archibald knows why Arthur hates the Hero Party. They are the reason Arthur Brother Death, and His brother died because of a friendly fire because of the Hero Elementalist. When they approach the Elementalist, he says something about 'Noob only useful as a meat shield.' Arthur mad about it, so he approaches the hero healer hoping her to heal his brother, but the healer said.
"Hah, as if I want to heal that useless Filthy Pervert."
That day Arthur lose his beloved brother Richard 'The Kind' as many people call him. Arthur then walked to the king to make him punish the 'Hero,' but the king can't do anything as the Church protects them from their wrongdoing, as the human needs them to end the Monster Wave.
Archibald then remembers about the last Monster Wave and shudder a little, but that memory is for another time.
