”So… You're telling me it's an NPC?”

Ian quickly nodded his head

”That, that's what I'! She's a Summoner NPC that I appointed as my Retainer this time”

While IanHarin

And with a sullen expression, she opened her ain

”But why of all people did it have to be a young, pretty and cute girl?”

Ian couldn't tell why, but he felt hi out into a cold sweat

This was because he felt a bizarre atmosphere from Harin's tone that he had never felt before

”That… Since that NPC's abilities were the best…?”

Ian's voice, which autorew faint!

As Harin heard that voice, she felt her heart weaken a little bit

Harin sed down her jealousy and began to hypnotize herself

'That's right, would a guy that only knows about gairls purposely choose a pretty NPC? He probably picked her just by her abilities'

As she finished thinking there, she became a little embarrassed as well

'To have felt jealousy towards not even a huame'

As she felt that she would actually be seen as a girlfriend with a narrow-ame if she pressed him any further, Harin forced a smile

”That's… That's what it was, right?”

Feeling Harin's voice slightly soften, Ian's expression slightly brightened

”Yeah, I' you!”

”Alright Then, I'o this time!”

While looking at Harin, who spoke as if she was being incredibly kind-hearted, Ian shtly

Of course, he had no idea what he was at fault for nor what she was letting hio for

The place that Ian, who had barely calmed Harin doas headed for was the Dimensional Tower

If it was Dimensional Enchanter Gripper, as at the Dimensional Tower, there was no h rank, and so he had come with the hope that by chance he could appoint him

'It probably won't happen… But since it doesn't hurt to try'

And Ian, who had arrived at the Tower, received a elcome from Gripper

”Oh, Ian Long time, no see I heard the news about you, so I know of it”

At Gripper's words, Ian wore a quizzical expression as he asked back

”Huh? What news?”

”What do you mean what news, it's obviously the news that you had become a respectable Baron”

Ian was taken aback

”Where, where did you hear that?”

Gripper's wrinkled eyes crinkled as he responded

”I have an acquaintance in the imperial family of the Luspel Empire”

”Ah… I see”

Ian felt so eird

'What is this, how does Gripper have an acquaintance in the imperial family? By any chance…?'

Ian hastily checked Gripper's information

Gripper

Level: ?

Race: Human

Class: Magician (Dimensional Enchanter)

Position: Earl

Personality: Full of curiosity

Talent Rank: (Unknown)

Combat Stats (Expand)

Specific Abilities (Expand)

Owned Abilities (Unknown)

A Diends

And before he realized, he sucked in a breath of air

'What the hell, for his level to be h is it?'

He had seen this kind of case before

'hellaim, is he at a similar level to that monster?'

On top of that, his position was an Earl

It was an aristocrat rank that was higher than Ian's

There was no way that a Baron could have an Earl as their retainer

Ian slightly pushed in the seal of the Lord that he was about to pull out

”Haha, so you were an aristocrat of the Luspel Empire as well, Gripper?”

At Ian's words, Gripper let out a hearty laugh as he nodded his head

”That's right It happened a long tieneration had bestowed the title of the Earl upon icians of the Luspel Empire's imperial palace from time to time”

”As expected… Gripper, you were an a person”

Gripper, as in a goodwith him for some time, Ian ended up unable to say a word about the retainer-part and could only return to the Domain

Ian decided to rid of soreed

'Later… If I raise ain'

While he was thinking of it, Ian checked the requireo up to the next title

The next title after Baron was 'Viscount'

User title Rank

Current Rank: Baron

Next Rank: Viscount

Fame consumed for promotion: 800 thousand

Authority: 25 NPCs can be appointed as subordinates

”Tsk…”

Ian licked his lips

The amount of Fame that Ian currently had was a little over 900 thousand

He could immediately be promoted to a Viscount title, but the only considerable advantage he would be gaining would be that the number of NPCs he could appoint as subordinates would increase just by about 5

If his Fame dropped, the Affinity of the Domain NPCs dropped, and as several different benefits from Fame, such as item discounts, would be reduced as well, there was absolutely no reason for hiht now

'After Viscount is Earl, and after that, it's Marquis, and then after that, it's Duke, so I've still got a long way to go'

Ian checked his retainer list, which was practically eh

'That's right, even though they aren't as good as I'uys between the Huood enough'

As he still had enough space left until the retainer appointing limit anyways, and he also checked that the limit also increased once his title went up

Ian now headed towards the Human Resource Centre

The Lotus Domain, the conference room of the manor

It had been a while since the individuals that could be considered the leading athered in the conference room

As the uild had about 150 total guild members

Ast them, over 100 of them were made up of users that were over lv 100, so they could be considered to have quite a strong fighting power

Fiolan, who still uild, was a whopping lv 118, and several, including Herz, were hot on her tail at lv 115

Even Ian, who leveled up at a monstrous speed, was already at lv 114

”As expected, a territory war request came in as soon as the protection was released”

At Fiolan's words, Herz nodded his head

”Well, it can't be helped Since our guild is definitely holding onto a good Douilds that want it”

Kroban, as next to him, also opened his mouth
