Wizard, I Have Another World – Chapter 7

Chapter 7: Title Acquired

If he gathered thirty gold coins too quickly, Father Vic would feel that he had asked for too little, and it would be easy for him to raise the price temporarily.

Too late,

he might lose the title.

The balance needed to be carefully grasped.

After two days of hardship, Karl’s ‘piety’ was finally recognized by Father Vic, who agreed to bestow his blessing.

In this world where people have powers beyond ordinary people, only by receiving the blessing of the gods can one become a true noble.

The ceremony of inheritance was not as complicated as the conferment of honors, but it still required bathing, changing clothes, worship, and prayer.

The whole process would take one to two days.

Karl, dressed in a white shirt and a red robe, placed his weapons and soft armor on the altar and held the scriptures in his hands to take an oath.

“I, Karl Bergman, swear before the statue of the great Morning Sun that I will uphold loyalty and honor throughout my life…”

“As a noble, I will treat the weak with kindness, bravely fight against violence, and fight for the unarmed…”

“Baron Karl.”

At the entrance of the church, a blonde woman nodded to Karl, who had just finished the ceremony:

“Congratulations.”

“Chief Dana.” Karl stopped and said in surprise:

“Why are you here?”

The woman in front of him had three-dimensional features, a tall figure, a long sword hanging from her waist, and naturally upturned blonde hair.

Long pants hugged her slender legs, and the leather top perfectly fit her curves, giving her a wild beauty.

Dana Yeager, South City Patrol Chief, third daughter of Viscount Saxon, and Karl’s immediate superior.

The two were not familiar.

The young and beautiful woman took out something from behind her and handed it over:

“A gift.”

“Thank you.”

Karl bowed in thanks and accepted the gift.

It was a gentleman’s cane, made of fragrant cedarwood and embellished with silver, beautifully shaped and with an excellent grip.

“As a noble, how can you not have a cane?” Dana said with a chuckle:

“I happened to be handling something nearby, so I came to take a look.”

“Something?” Karl tapped the ground lightly with his cane, not continuing to be polite, as the other party was not short of this little money:

“Do you need help?”

“No, you’re still on vacation.” Dana turned around with her hands behind her back:

“Two commoners died in the night, and some say it was the work of vampires, so I had to come and take a look.”

“Vampires?” Karl’s expression changed:

“Really?”

“Of course not!” Dana laughed:

“It’s not even certain whether there are vampires in this world, but the blood of the deceased was indeed sucked dry.”

“Hmm…”

“Although it’s a bit strange, just leave it to the police.”

Karl nodded.

They were patrol officers, and they would only personally intervene if it involved nobles or events of great impact.

Ordinary maintenance of public order and the arrest of fugitives were the responsibility of the police.

This was the difference between officers and officials.

“Karl.”

As they walked forward, Dana said:

“Do you remember I have a cousin named Martha?”

“Martha?”

A scene from a banquet flashed through Karl’s mind, in which there was a young and cheerful girl:

“I remember.”

“She’s not married yet.” Dana looked at Karl and said:

“She’s not much younger than you, would you like to meet her?”

“This…” Karl hesitated:

“I don’t want to get married so early, and I’m afraid I’ll scare people looking like this.”

He said, touching the scar on his face.

“For a man, good looks are useless.” Dana said:

“Now you are a noble, there are plenty of women willing to marry you, even bring you wealth.”

Karl didn’t say anything.

He had no resistance to being a kept man, but he was not comfortable with others forcing him to be one.

Before he became a baron, the other party had never mentioned this matter, and now she mentioned it only because she valued his title.

Just like his uncle Giles.

“If a family wants to prosper, it can’t rely on just one person.” Dana continued:

“The reason our Yeager family has come this far is because we have many children and our bloodline’s influence is great.”

“Yes.”

Karl nodded and suddenly said:

“Chief, you don’t seem to have a fiancé either?”

Oops!

As soon as the words left his mouth, he regretted it. This woman was not easy to tease, but it was obviously too late to realize it now.

“Hmm?”

Dana’s face darkened, her footsteps stopped, and an invisible pressure enveloped the place.

The majestic life force was tangible, making Karl’s breathing quicken.

Knight Squire!

He had heard that she was already a peak-level Knight Squire, and could become a Formal Knight at any time, it seemed to be true.

This blonde beauty in front of him was not weak at all, and even three of him might not be her match in a fight.

Karl had been training since he was a child, but his physique was still within the range of ordinary people.

Facing a peak Knight Squire was like a mouse meeting a cat. The life force of a higher being was a deterrent to him on a primal level.

“Chief.”

Karl swallowed:

“I remember I have something to do at home, can I leave first?”

“…” Dana was expressionless, and hummed softly through her nose, then saw Karl leave in a hurry.

“This guy…”

Looking at Karl’s back, Dana’s eyes showed a trace of surprise, and she whispered thoughtfully:

“His personality seems to be different from before?”

Karl used to be reckless and prone to yelling, but although his performance just now was a bit disrespectful, he was much more cautious.

Touching her chin, she shook her head slightly, no longer thinking about it. It was very common for a person’s personality to change drastically after experiencing a life-or-death situation.

Back at his residence, Jenny was singing as usual, her voice more beautiful than in previous days.

She really had a good talent for singing.

“Thump!”

Karl threw himself heavily on the bed, fingers interlaced, staring at the ceiling, seemingly in a daze but actually with his mind racing.

‘Having the status of a noble is indeed much more convenient, even Chief Dana took the initiative to be a matchmaker.’

‘But, what I want is not money!’

If he wanted money and a decent life, then marrying a wealthy merchant’s daughter was undoubtedly the best choice.

With the status of a baron, it wouldn’t be difficult to achieve this.

But Karl didn’t lack money.

Well,

at least not for now, and most likely not in the future either.

Although the other world was somewhat dangerous, it was still very easy to obtain a certain amount of wealth.

“What I want is a breathing technique!”

As far as he knew, most breathing techniques were in the hands of the Church, and the rest were passed down among the great nobles and knights.

Very few were scattered outside.

It was even more difficult to obtain them, and even some nobles with centuries-old lineages did not have breathing techniques.

‘Compared to here, it’s easier to get breathing techniques in the other world, at least there’s a chance to buy them with money.’

A few days later.

Karl opened the curtains and looked up at the full moon in the sky.

“Morning Sun bless…”

Pulling the curtains, he gathered all the things he had prepared in advance in his arms, closed his eyes, and came to that mysterious place.

After jumping through the mysterious place, Karl, carrying a lot of supplies, came to the other world again.

This time.

That bone-chilling coldness did not appear.

“On the day of the Burning Moon, the fog dissipates, the half-dead creatures dare not show themselves, and Black City will also become safe.”
