Chapter 193 - Thats Odd (2/2)

After all, even meeting a baronet and talking to them is already a hard thing to do, and taking a quest even from the lowest ranking noble would net them a lot of rewards, much less a Duke.

Michael doesn't actually care even if the noble is a Duke, a King or even an Emperor! With a Sage behind him, he could practically walk sideways like an arrogant second-generation young master!

With a powerful teacher behind him, getting missions and meeting nobles makes it easier for him complete things that he couldn't do without proper backing. After all, this is a game and not the real world, everything depends on luck, chance, hard work and a little bit of fairness in there.

”Your teacher?”

”Yes Duke, does your family have a teleportation portal or something that could send me in the Sharval Kingdom or somewhere near the kingdom?” Michael asked while looking at Duke Cympyr.

”Well, there is a teleportation platform nearby but..”

The duke hesitated for a few moments before he continued, ”But it's in the neighboring Orvon Kingdom, at the Church of Freya located at their capital city, Orion”

”Ohh~” Michael looked at them, realizing the reason behind the Duke's hesitation earlier.

It was because the Orvon Kingdom is hostile towards Cympyr Dukedom, where the former has been trying to invade the latter for two decades now.

The two nations have already created huge bad blood between the two with how many deaths both sides had suffered during the past two decades of their war, which clearly cemented a deep hatred and rivalry between the two, especially towards the common populace who had lost their loved ones because of the war.

Michael wouldn't even be surprised if a huge war would suddenly erupt from out of nowhere that would embroil the other neighboring kingdoms because of the two.

”Father, the Sea Tribe! Could it be...is there a chance that the Sea Tribe are the reason behind that the Mountain Trolls that had always been amicable suddenly started rampaging like a group of mad beast!?”

Beatrice suddenly stood up from her seat, as she suddenly came into a grave conclusion.

Hearing her, the husband and wife suddenly had grave expressions on their faces. It was because the Mountain Trolls before had never descended from their mountains and never attacked anyone unless they were provoked.

But this time, a group of them had descended from their homes and started attacking villages here and there like a group of mad beasts, and their rampaging spree was just recently quelled by his daughter and her knights.

And now hearing what his daughter said, the duke suddenly had a terrible thought that his duchy might be one of the frontlines in a Race War in the future if the information that Michael had given them is true.

Meanwhile, Michael had a surprised and skeptical look on his face as he stared at Beatrice.

”Wait..the Mountain Trolls are amicable creatures?”

”That's odd”
