Zeus stood in front of the official as he bit back a curse, as he was getting increasingly annoyed at that official in front of him he was busy being a king in his dream and Zeus had already called him a few times in order To wake him up but the person was busy drooling without a care for the world, Zeus took a deep breath as he shouted out, "A SUDDEN INSPECTION IS HAPPENING THE CITY LORD IS HERE."The man suddenly jumped up on his feet as he saluted the trio who had gazed with a deadpanned stare, as Zeus spoke, "Good morning Sir, we are here to raise our cla.s.s.", he finished with an innocent smile.
The man snarled as he spoke as he raised an accusing figure, "HOW DARE YOU MAKE SUCH A POOR JOKE, WHERE IS HIS LORDSHIP? HOW DARE YOU GIVE ME A HEART ATTACK!!"
Zeus simply blinked owlishly, "What are you talking about dear Sir? I joke about something like that please Sir we just arrived and you stood up all of a sudden as you saluted us we are innocent sire you may ask the other two who have arrived at the same time as me."
As the man glanced at Tarasque and Azi they both nodded back at him with serious expressions on their face, as Zeus continued speaking, "I think there is some misunderstanding I am simply here to advance our cla.s.s."
The man sighed as he spoke, "So how many cla.s.ses do you want to ascend?"
Zeus: "Is there any difference between ascending a single rank and ascending multiple ranks?"
The official: "Of course there is, when you raise your cla.s.s through multiple tier, you have to pay the fees for all ranks in between until unless someone of very high cla.s.s in our kingdom like an Archduke gifts you as such."
At that the trios eyes widen as Zeus mumbled something about cutthroat thieves and bandits as he sighed before speaking, "Well we will be moving onto the "Squire" rank if you would please."
The man smile even grew bigger as he spoke, "Then since you will be jumping into 2 tiers at the same time you will have to pay an additional fee of 3 Silver coins."
Zeus was taken a back as he spoke, "3 Silver coins why so?"
The official: "For moving into the Citizen tier you have to pay 1 Silver coin extra and for moving into the n.o.bel tier you have pay another 2 Silver coin extra but more importantly you have to have at least 800 fame in order to became a "Squire"."
Zeus sighed as he did a mental math before he sighed while speaking, "It seems I have to pay 5 Silver and 160 Bronze right, meaning 3Gold 4Silver and 80Bronze coin in total for all three of us, meh so is there anything we have to do."
The official shrugged as he spoke, "Well simply pay up and put your hand on top of this crystal ball."
Zeus nodded as he was about to pay the fees he was stopped by his teammates as Tarasque spoke, "Let us pay for ourselves Zeus."
Zeus waved his hand as he spoke, "You can pay me later on but for now let me pay on your behalf.", with that he paid the amount as they rose through skipping over the other ranks reaching "Squire" cla.s.s.
The official spoke with a smile, "Congratulations My Lord and Ladies, Congratulations on becoming a n.o.bel."
As soon as the official spoke those words a message appeared in front of their eyes,
[CONGRATULATIONS ON BECOMING A n.o.bEL.
CLa.s.s CHANGED TO SQUIRE.
"Squire", although the cla.s.s is seen as that of n.o.bility unfortunately it is not nonhereditary.
Gained t.i.tle "n.o.bel (lv. 1)"]
Zeus: "Cool I gained a new t.i.tle, did you two get one as well?"
Both of his teammates nodded at that as Zeus checked on his new t.i.tle.
[ n.o.bel(Lv. 1, Although you are a newbie "n.o.bel" of the lowest rank, but still a n.o.bel as such you will have access to various facilities within the city also you will now have a voice within the city politics, now minor decision regarding the city has 5% chance of being taken into considerations.]
Zeus sighed at that before he turned towards his teammates as he spoke, "Well I think it is time for us to visit the Grand Cathedral at the core part of the city."
The other two nodded at that as Azi spoke, "Well what are we waiting for let us leave then."
Tarsque: "Who are we going to seek an audience at the Cathedral?"
Zeus: "The Head honcho of course and seeing it is a big city there is a chance we will run into the Arch Bishop of all people."
Tarasque: "Wait a minute we all are n.o.bles now we cannot go to visit the Grand Cathedral and ask for an audience with the Arch Bishop looking like this."
Azi punched her hands as she spoke, "You are right Tarasque, give me some time and I will create some clothes for us till then please try to upgrade your stuff and what not."
Zeus sighed at that as they made his way to his master"s shop as he reached there he was greeted by the ever smiling face of Alfostrog who spoke in a jovial tone, "Welcome brat welcome, how does it feel to conquer the dungeon?"
Zeus smiled back at him as he spoke, "It was cool teacher, but before we speak about anything I want to show you something."
With that he showed the newest weapon he received at the end of the dungeon run, Alfostrog took the weapon in his hand casually before his eyes widen at that, as his hands trembled before he spoke with disbelief, "Where did you get this?"
Zeus smirked as he spoke, "I got it after I conquered the dungeon."
Alfostrog jumped up showing surprising agility for a heavily built dwarf as he slammed his hands hard on Zeus"s head as he shouted out to him, "YOU COLOSSAL FOOL! Do you have any idea what you have been holding all this time?"
Zeus was on his knees holding on to his head the hit on his head as he mumbled out, "A weapon."
If Alfostrog were a dragon he would have already turned Zeus into ash with his breath, he quickly looked around checking if someone was listening to them before he dragged him into the store room before he closed the door as he spoke with an angry voice, "You colossal fool this is not a weapon it is a treasure, rumored to be created by Duias the G.o.d of us Blacksmiths, this are also called Life Bound Treasure as this treasure grows alongside its wielder not only that but it is rumored to be alive, and in this current age and time no one I repeat no one knows how to create them and you just so happened to be lucky enough to get your hand on one of them, a weapon if reaches the ears of someone wrong they will do anything in order to kill you and destroy this weapon, during the Great War eons ago this treasures in the hands of great warriors devastated the armies of darkness."
Zeus looked at his newest weapon as he spoke, "I see.", only to get hit on his head again as Alfostrog shouted out, "How dare you take this thing not seriously? Before I speak anything did you bind it to yourself?"
Zeus spoke as he winced at the fresh wound on his head, "Well I did."
Alfostrog nodded as he spoke, "Good good, at least you have something left inside your head, now remember not to mention anything about it unless you want to commit suicide DO.YOU.UNDERSTAND."
Zeus nodded at that fast as he spoke, "Yes Teacher I did."
Alfostrog returned the weapon as he spoke, "So what do you wish to do today disciple of mine?"
