"Hello!"

Downton showed a smile, with eight neat and white teeth that dazzled everyone.

Only then did the aristocratic ladies realize that the big boy in front of them was still so handsome and sunny. Although he had some country bumpkin vibes from a small place, it brought out the closeness of the boy next door, unlike the kind that existed when other nobles were dating.

Mental wariness, isolation and low self-esteem.

"The battle in the Lava Secret Realm, your Excellency really opened my eyes. I can't believe that after seeing you for a few months, your rank has improved so quickly."

Dupont walked up to Downton as if he was familiar with him, stretched out his hand and beat his chest, feeling as if he had met old friends for many years.

"Who is this young man?"

"Idiot, you don't even know about the geniuses of the Dupont family in the Kuta Magic Empire? Do you have the nerve to say that you belong to the aristocracy?"

"What about Downton? Isn't he a duke from a third-rate country? Why did he get involved with Dupont?"

The onlookers whispered that they were not as scheming as the elders of the family, so all their thoughts were expressed on their faces.

"No, I've never heard of a Sequoia Duke in Frankfurt."

"It shouldn't be fake, and the Geese family is not stupid. Look at the attitude of the principal towards him."

"Wait a minute, I heard that there was a big war in Frankfurt recently. A commoner killed Duke Placido of the West and became the Duke. Couldn't it be him?"

"It can't be wrong, it must be him, otherwise the Gis family wouldn't treat him like this!"

Frankfort is only a third-rate country, its influence is too small, and Downton's majesty in killing super beasts is relatively popular among magicians. The nobles still don't understand it well. After all, the two are mixed.

They are not in the same circle, that is, only the Frankfurt Territory knows a little bit about it, because it involves activities such as business and trade.

"Seeing your behavior now, I realize that Torres's death was not unjust!" Dupont said casually, "Let's go have a drink!"

Seeing that Dupont, who came from a noble family, treated a new aristocrat like this, even neglecting Wortford, everyone found it incredible and began to inquire about Downton's information.

"Be careful with Dupont, this guy is very insidious!"

Seeing Downton and Dupont chatting happily, Homer suddenly interrupted.

"Um?"

Downton was puzzled and glanced at Dupont without trace. He had to say that the education Dupont and Woodford received was unmatched by him. No matter what the topic chosen by the former, it made him feel like he had met a close friend.

I don’t feel bored and want to talk to him more.

Next to him, Wutford was also quite a gentleman. He didn't answer, but his occasional interruptions were just right. Of course, the most important thing was that neither of them looked down on Downton because of his status.

"You underestimate the nobles too much. The acting skills of these two are absolutely master-level. You can't tell that this is normal."

Cheap God teases.

"Isn't it just to win over me?"

Downton felt that he still had some value.

"Haha, you think too highly of yourself. Woodford may have this intention. But he is testing you. As for Dupont, he wants to kill you."

Homer's words shocked Downton, "How could that be?"

"Do you think Dupont is complimenting you? He is actually flattering you."

Homer snorted.

"No, those nobles didn't show any hostility towards me?"

Downton thought that his observation skills were pretty good, but not only the nobles around him, but also Xuerle, who had just fought, didn't look too jealous.

"It would be too embarrassing if you saw his hidden tricks."

Homer is right. Dupont is indeed deliberately adding a dazzling aura to Downton, making him proud, proud, and gradually arrogant in all kinds of praise. Wait until the right moment to give him a heavy blow. He will definitely fall to pieces.

"The higher you climb, the harder you fall."

Dupont murmured in his heart that it would be great if someone was jealous and caused trouble for him during Downton's fall.

Until now, Dupont can't let go. He didn't see the First Element's plan in the Spark Palace and was deceived by Torres. If Torres hadn't died, he would have knocked on the door a long time ago. As for Downton, he was not sure about this guy.

At that time, he stayed intentionally, or he was favored by the goddess of luck. It happened that the blind cat met a dead mouse, but those were not important. He got the first element. This alone was destined to kill Dupont.

In the eyes of geniuses like Dupont who have almost never experienced failure, Downton is a talent and available, but he wants to kill him more to wash away his own defeat.

The three of them sat at a round table on the front deck. Without anyone's instructions, someone had already cleaned it and served various pastries and tea.

"Schürrle, apologize for pouring wine for Downton."

Wutford gave a calm order.

"Why?"

Xu Erle was dissatisfied. How could he bow to others with his status? If his cousin hadn't taken action, he would have fed Downton to the sharks. But seeing his cousin's sharp eyes and thinking of his terrifying record, he couldn't help but

Dare to refute, and obediently picked up the wine glass.

"No need, it was your friend who made the mistake, not you." Downton smiled and reached out to hold down the wine glass. "Actually, I admire your courage to go out of your way to save your friends."

"Yeah?"

Xu Erle looked happy. It is always a happy thing to be praised by others, not to mention that the other party is powerful and has a super beast demon servant like a bone dragon. Of course, the most important thing is that Dupont and his cousin are very good.

He is optimistic about him. He knows the vision of these two people, so invisibly, the value of Downton has also increased in his heart.

"Oh no!"

Dupont was so fed up that he didn't expect that his praise would backfire.

"Well!"

Wutford laughed. His original intention was to ask Schürrle to accompany him to apologize, and then to hate Downton. However, he did not expect that he underestimated his position in his cousin's heart and instead built momentum for Downton. Of course, this boy's response was also

Not bad, it seems to be a personal talent.

By letting the two people conflict, Wutford can not only test Downton's strength, but also lend a helping hand when he fails. In this way, he has a strong support at hand. If he dies, he has nothing to lose. After all, Wutford has never lost anything.

There is no need for waste, his men are all elites.

"Huh? That's not right. Hu Tao was the guard who killed him?"

Downton had a smile on his face, but his heart was pounding. He couldn't understand the behavior of these nobles. If his subordinates were killed, he would definitely fight tooth and nail.

"In their hearts, those subordinates are just tools. Servants will die when they die. Only those top subordinates will show a little emotion to win over them." Homer took the opportunity to teach Downton, "You want to be a noble, this is a must.

a step."

"It's so inhumane."

Downton shook his head.

"Who can be sacrificed, how to win over allies, and who can be used as stepping stones in order to win. These are all required courses, and you still have a lot to learn."

The Cheap God is very dissatisfied with the recent number of soul sacrifices and wants Downton to go on a killing spree.

"What's the name of that war hammer of yours? Is it a medium-grade legendary one?"

Xuerle felt that Downton was very sensible and did not push too far, allowing him to save face. While he was happy, he focused on the war hammer. Even a family like his did not have many legendary weapons. "I can take a look."

?”

"It's called the Hand of the Balrog." Downton took out the warhammer from the war space and handed it to Xuerle. He had no choice. If he refused, Xuerle would definitely be offended to death, and he would also be known as a stingy person.

"it's beautiful!"

Xuerle sighed with emotion, but as soon as he caught it, he felt the weight of the hammer. He couldn't hold it at all, and it hit the deck with a bang. If he hadn't dodged quickly enough, his feet would have been swollen.

"Be careful, hiss. Is this an epic weapon?"

Wutford was not a melee fighter, so he didn't pay much attention to the war hammer, but after taking a glance at it, he couldn't look away.

"You didn't get it in the secret realm, right?"

Dupont stared at the warhammer and reached out to touch it. His eyes were full of regret and jealousy, and then turned into a strong possessiveness.

"Yes!"

Downton sighed. He had originally avoided revealing the quality of the war hammer, but these two men had vicious eyes and could not hide it at all.

"Be more generous. If they dare to rob, let them pay the price."

Cheap gods comfort Downton.

"You really want them to come and rob me, and then I'll kill them and turn them into soul sacrifices, right?"

Downton rolled his eyes.

"My Goddess, it's actually an epic weapon. It's incredible." Xuerle exclaimed, causing everyone around him to glance over.

The Hohenzollern family has a great business, so it naturally has epic weapons, but even if Schürrle is the heir, he is not qualified to touch them. After all, this can be regarded as a clan weapon. Unexpectedly, the Duke of a small country carries it with him and uses it.

"They said epic? Did I hear that right?"

"You don't even know who those people are. They've seen so many treasures, how could they be wrong?"

"It seems that Downton is not simple. Do you want to win over him?"

The nobles were originally worried that Schürrle would be unhappy by getting to know Downton, but now that they saw them talking happily, they naturally had an idea.
