Chapter 607 The values of the upper class nobility!
Although there are indeed many descendants of nobles in the Human Alliance who have a bad reputation.
There are various affairs with beautiful or handsome servants.
But this kind of thing rarely happens among the nobles above the middle level of the empire.
After all, the higher you are in a high position, the more you need to pay attention to your words, deeds, and external image.
For a small nobleman with no big ambitions, this matter is nothing.
But for the upper-class nobles, or the middle-class nobles who intend to further develop the family.
This is a rather troublesome scandal.
In the Human Alliance, the virtues that the nobles have been promoting to the outside world are never just words.
Although nobles are often insidious, cunning, and cold and ruthless.
But such faces usually only appear when interests are entangled and purposes conflict.
When they have nothing to do with interests, they will still show a gentle, kind, abiding by their creed, elegant and generous side.
——Only with this kind of behavior can one be worthy of the title of great noble!
As a new generation of nobles almost appointed by the Kaya Empire, Brand is still more concerned about his image.
So, after a brief thought, Brand called Hisali over to give a lesson on nobility.
He told her the values that members of the Holland family should have.
After listening carefully to Brand’s words.
Hisali gradually became thoughtful.
Then, she asked curiously:
“I have heard about low-status servants marrying nobles in many places.
Hasn't this happened in the Kaya Empire? "
Hearing this, Brand shook his head and said:
"What you are talking about should be a fictional story full of suspense and twists compiled by the bard based on various rumors.
Most of these stories deliberately praise divine love, while removing many boring but necessary realities. ”
After a slight pause, Brand continued to explain:
"In our Kaya Empire, there have been cases in the past where servants eventually became the wives or husbands of nobles.
However, when the two got married, the servant was no longer a servant.
But a strong person or a powerful person who matches the noble status.
Because status is no longer an obstacle, they can get married. This is the so-called necessary and boring reality. ”
Listen. At this point, Hisari couldn't help but feel a little disappointed and said:
"Then I have no chance? After all, I am now the master's slave."
"Not really."
After shaking his head in denial, Brand explained:
“Our Holland family’s management of slaves is still very loose.
Many people who have contributed to the family have changed from slaves to retainers.
There are also some people who choose to leave their families, become free people, and then venture out on their own in the Farnes Continent.
The same goes for you. When you make enough contributions, your identity will also change! ”
Hearing this, Hisari’s eyes suddenly shone with anticipation.
And Brand drank the tea made by Catherine leisurely, without saying anything. No more words.
——He just said that hard work can bring about changes in identity, but he didn’t say anything else!
After using a little trick to make Hisari calm down.
Brand turned his attention to the several portable rune arrays in front of him and began to think about ways to improve and strengthen them.
——Compared to the narrow shield, he still wants to rest in the wide barrier!
As for Hisari.
After thinking about a bright future.
Looking at Catherine who was reading a book beside her, she recalled the "bullying" Catherine had done to her some time ago.
And one time before, Catherine knocked her out with a fist.
She couldn't help but cast a "rebellious" look.
——Forget about that fist, after all, she was not one of our own at that time. ——But now everyone is Master Brand's slave, you are just a little stronger and more qualified than me!
——It’s really not certain who will be favored by the young master in the future!
Immediately afterwards, I may have become annoyed by being stared at by Hisari.
Or maybe she thinks that Hisari's attitude is not correct enough and she doesn't understand her position clearly.
After a brief thought, Catherine took out an envelope and threw it to Xisali, and then said:
“You are still far away!”
He looked at the writing on the envelope with a puzzled expression.
Hisali quickly discovered that this was a letter written by Brand's father to Catherine.
Opening the envelope, taking out the letter paper, and reading it carefully,
Hisali's expression changed quickly.
Beyond the gorgeous rhetoric, this letter can be simply summarized as Brand’s elders’ “approval” of Catherine!
——Recognize that Catherine can become Brand’s wife!
Yes!
Katherine, who has been with Master Brand for a long time and is deeply trusted by him, whose strength and talent are so amazing...
——How could the respected head maid Catherine be just a girl? An ordinary servant!
After carefully placing the letter back in the envelope.
Sisali, who recognized the gap in status between them, returned the envelope to Catherine with a "proper attitude", and then sat aside and quietly looked through the knightly inheritance of the Holland family.
At some point late at night, Brand finished studying the rune array and lay on the bed to rest.
Catherine and Hisari also extinguished the lights and lay on the other two beds, one on the left and the other on the right.
The next morning, after breakfast, the three of them continued on their way.
As it goes deeper and deeper, the yellow sand of the earth element rolls more and more violently in the area outside the shield.
They gradually had the feeling of walking on the rugged bottom of a sea of yellow sand.
After noticing the surrounding situation, Catherine asked softly:
"Master, the elements outside are more dense and the ground is a little unstable. Do we need to slow down a little?"
Brand shook his head and said:
"Don't bother me. My talents in wind and earth elements are quite good, and my perception has not dropped too much.
I will choose a relatively stable road to walk on. If it doesn't work, I will use magic to build a road. ”
Although Brand said this.
However, something unexpected happened. Catherine and Sisali pressed closer to Brand’s side and tightened their grip even harder. Brand's palm.
Moving along the more violent direction of the elements, using spells and knight secret skills.
Occasionally using earth spells to build roads, occasionally collecting resources, and occasionally stopping. After eating, they did not rest until late at night
When the sun rose again one day, Brand found that they had been buried under the yellow sand.
After wasting a lot of effort and returning to the ground, the three of them continued to move forward.
That evening.
Brand was keenly aware that the ground had become a little moister, and there was gradually an active atmosphere of water element around him.
——They are about to enter the central area of the elemental storm!
Brand immediately pulled the two of them to a stop.
After carefully testing the shield's endurance, they continued moving forward.
Not long after they walked, there was no longer loose sand under their feet.
Due to the influence of the water element, the gravel of the earth element has become thicker, and it no longer flies easily in the wind in large tracts.
But at the same time, the gravel flying and hitting the shield was much heavier than before.
The small shield of the sublimated portable rune array will be slightly rippled from time to time.
