"According to the rules of the City of Dawn, titles can be inherited by heirs, but they are inherited by demotion. In other words, you can inherit your father's title, but not as an earl, but as a viscount."
Barritt looked at Duke and explained.
Everyone else's eyes showed envy. In the City of Dawn, a title is not just a false title, it has many practical benefits, not to mention it is a viscount title.
"I, Barret Elvis, in the name of the Elvis family, canonize Duke Elvis, the eldest son of Earl Baker, as Viscount of the City of Dawn."
Barritt handed the viscount ring to Duke.
In fact, it stands to reason that this kind of canonization of a title requires going to the city hall and being canonized by the city lord and the council. However, because this title is not a new one but an inheritance, it belongs to the Elvis family's own property, so it does not need to be done.
So troublesome, you can just canonize it at home. Barritt has already registered it with the city hall in advance, and this ring was given to him by the city hall.
Duke took the ring and followed Barritt's example, wearing it on the index finger of his right hand. The world is not so particular, and the ring can be worn anywhere.
"The noble title ring is also called the nitrogen defense ring. When you encounter fatal danger, you can press this gem and the ring will activate a one-time nitrogen shield on the front to help you withstand a fatal attack. The premise is that you
Your fingerprints need to be entered."
High-tech stuff!
Duke was finally a little excited. In a sense, this was a life.
It is also very simple to enter fingerprints. This is a brand new ring. You can bind it to it by placing your thumb on the gemstone for the first time.
As for unbinding and the like, you need to go to the city hall to do it. This is their unique technology and no one can crack it.
The nitrogen shield of this ring is disposable and will be gone after use, but the ring is not disposable.
If the nitrogen shield is gone, you can go to the city hall to replenish the energy for a small fee.
Duke resisted the urge to press the gem and looked at Barritt.
The noble title and defense ring are just the appetizers, if nothing else, there should be more later.
"As a direct descendant of the Elvis family, everyone will get an estate when they reach adulthood. Duke, you can choose one."
Barrick turned sideways, revealing a large computer with a dim light on the curved screen behind him. This computer was somewhat similar to the computers of the 20th century, but more bulky.
Duke was a little surprised that there was still industry.
Does that mean you can leave Elvis Castle?
Duke is not very concerned about the value of the industry. Needless to say, it is definitely not very good. But he is very interested in being able to leave openly.
Barritt tapped a few times on the keyboard, and a map of the City of Dawn was displayed on the screen.
The red part is the property belonging to the Elvis family, and the green part is the place that has nothing to do with the Elvis family.
It was also the first time that Duke learned about the Elvis family so intuitively.
I have to say that they are indeed one of the top forces in the City of Dawn. Although the red parts on the entire map do not look big, they are numerous and densely packed throughout half of the City of Dawn.
Among them, the West City has the most red dots. After all, West City is the headquarters of the Elvis family.
But Duke took the lead and eliminated West City.
He doesn't want to stay next to the Elvis family, he wants to live and stay away from the Elvis family!
Duke looked directly at Dongcheng, then pointed at a spot on the display screen and asked:
"Is it okay if I want to take a look here?"
Barritt was a little surprised. He thought Duke would choose West City. West City was the choice of most tribesmen. After all, it was close to the castle, which was one of the reasons why West City had many industries.
"Can."
Although he was surprised, Barritt still clicked on the area that Duke pointed out.
This is just a very simple floor plan. I can't see the environment here, the location, or the potential of these industries. I can only see the words "Vacant" and "Family Agency" behind the names on it.
"There is an owner" and other remarks.
But Duke didn't care about this. He just felt that there were the fewest red dots here.
Then Duke randomly picked a seemingly remote location, which was marked: vacant.
Only vacant properties or family agency properties can be selected.
"This is it, okay."
If it were another direct descendant, at this time, he would have already figured out each industry clearly and knew which position was best.
But Duke was alone and had no one to analyze for him, so he didn't care and just picked one at random.
Barritt was silent for a moment, then nodded.
"Once confirmed, it cannot be changed. Are you sure?"
"Sure."
Duke nodded.
"good."
Barritt didn't talk nonsense. With a few clicks on the keyboard, the note behind the property changed from "vacant" to "occupied."
In addition to this property, Duke will also receive a set of Elvis family equipment, a Dawn Bank VIP account, a car and a servant.
This set of "family equipment" is very interesting, including a portable radiation detector, a portable mental state monitor, a backpack radiation radar, a portable personal computer, a dress, and a set of regular clothes.
However, in Duke's opinion, these so-called portables are really not portable.
In addition to the radiation detector, which is about the same size as a large watch and can barely be considered portable, the portable mental state detector is as big as a basketball!
Portable personal computers are worn on the forearm like a mechanical exoskeleton.
Of course, if you complain, you should accept it anyway. I guess this thing is worth a lot of money.
The VIP account of Shuguang Bank was opened for Duke in Shuguang Bank, the largest bank in Shuguang City, as the Elvis family.
Compared with ordinary accounts, this account has certain extra privileges. Although there is not a penny in it, for Duke, it is better than nothing.
Duke didn't see the car for the time being, but only got the car key - a pure mechanical key with a black maple leaf engraved on it.
As for this servant, Duke is asked to choose one from within the family.
This is a two-way choice. If you are willing to go with Duke, the servant will become Duke's personal, and Duke will have to worry about the servant's salary and other things.
Generally speaking, no servant dares to refuse. It is said to be a two-way street, but everyone understands that the servant has no right to choose.
Duke looked at Alyssa. He knew this servant, but he couldn't guarantee that Alyssa would follow him. After all, he heard that Alyssa was very hard-working, literate, and knew a lot of things. In Elvi
The Si family is very popular, and the previous assignment to Duke was only temporary.
Duke, on the other hand, seems to have a noble status, but in fact he has neither status nor money. Compared with other direct descendants, he is still far behind. It has not happened before that direct descendants go out to make a living, and then return home in disgrace, and the servants starve to death.
situation.
Servants are humans too and must have their own thoughts.
