Since he was only a court noble with no territory, when his great-great-grandfather inherited the title, he was only a marquis.
His great-grandfather was an earl, his grandfather was a viscount, and his father was a baron.
But when it comes to his area, it's nothing.
Because the lowest title of a palace noble is a baron, and a palace knight requires strength to be canonized!
Of course, the saddest thing is that even if his father is a viscount, he has no hope of inheriting the title, because he has two brothers above him, and he is only the third eldest son, so he is destined to be unable to inherit the family business.
In fact, this is also the case. Although the ancestors have some family property passed down to some extent, he does not share it. When he came of age, his father called him to the study, patted him on the shoulder, and said that he must mature when he becomes an adult.
After becoming independent, he handed him a wallet and kicked him out of the house.
Well, his mind was blank from beginning to end and he couldn't react.
There are one hundred gold coins in the wallet.
I have to say that for ordinary people, this is a huge wealth.
Even for a court aristocratic family like them, 100 gold coins is not too little. After all, they have no territory. In many cases, the means and speed of gathering wealth are not as good as those of nobles who own large territories.
Although Caleb was kicked out of his home, the various educations he received before becoming an adult made him clearly realize that he really needed to be independent.
He used the money to do business, but unfortunately he was still inferior to those profiteers. The capital of 100 gold coins was quickly lost.
In desperation, Caleb could only put down his body and go to work.
He worked as an accountant, but his boss went bankrupt within a few months.
He worked as a tutor, and the earl's daughter he taught fell in love with him. But before he could do anything, the old earl, who had the strength of a great knight, almost split him in two with his sword!
After doing a variety of jobs but failing to continue smoothly, Caleb chose to do manual labor and carry sacks in the trading market.
The body trained by a noble family is always much stronger than that of ordinary people. This allows him to have enough food and clothing every day, and he can also come to the tavern for a drink or something.
Moreover, the proprietress of the tavern seemed to have taken a liking to him and was hooking up with him during this period.
Caleb wondered if he should just accept the offer of his wife. Even though she was a widow, she could still make a lot of money every month from the tavern she ran.
The key is that the other person still has charm and is the type that Caleb likes.
But just when Caleb was hesitant, the system sub-body was activated in his mind.
After some seemingly incomprehensible and seemingly profound but actually useless binding operations, Caleb got his first mission.
Mission requirement: Go home.
Mission reward: 500 gold coins.
go home?
Caleb thought of the home he left.
His mother still loves him. It can be seen from some letters sent by his mother that his father seems to be working hard for the glory of the family. He is trying to break the rule of reduction of the palace nobility and let his eldest son inherit the title of baronet.
For this reason, the family spent a lot of money, and his father even sold his most beloved long sword.
If I go home at this time, will my eldest brother think that I am going back to seize the title?
This made Caleb hesitate.
Valley
After all, in this aristocratic family, the affection between brothers has been greatly worn away with the passage of time.
Before Caleb came of age and left home, he heard that his second brother had angered his father because of something, and was sent to the military camp one year before he reached adulthood, never having the chance to return home.
If I go home at this time, if my father and elder brother misunderstand me, I will be in trouble.
But the later mission reward made Caleb's face warm and his heart beat involuntarily.
It has to be said that gold coins are too tempting for ordinary humans.
So after hesitating for a moment, Caleb decided to go home.
Of course, he planned to go back on the pretext of missing his mother too much.
When he returned to the manor located on the outskirts of the royal city, the system prompted that the task was completed, and he could choose one of two ways to distribute the task rewards.
Either directly charge 500 gold coins into his bank card, or directly distribute it to him in kind.
At this time, he did not go to receive the mission reward, because his attention was attracted by his mother who was running quickly.
The mother was very happy to see her son come home. Not only did she arrange a sumptuous dinner, but she also had a nice talk with Caleb after the dinner.
I have to say that maternal love is great in any dimension.
However, Caleb was soon called to the study by his father and asked about the purpose of his return home.
The father is not as innocent as the mother. He is afraid that the third son will come back to compete for the title. In that case, it will inevitably have a great impact on the inheritance of the title. Besides, the inheritance of the title has not been settled yet.
But what Caleb's father never expected was that Caleb actually said that he could provide money to help his eldest brother handle the succession of the title, but there was only one small condition.
That is to ask his father to take him to the king's birthday party a week later.
For this, Caleb is willing to pay 300 gold coins!
Seeing his third son bargaining with him like a perfect businessman, his father's emotions were very complicated.
But he finally agreed to Caleb's trading conditions.
After all, with these three hundred gold coins, the issue of title succession would not have many problems in the operation of the Noble Senate.
As for taking the third son to attend the king's birthday party, this is not a big deal.
The reason why Caleb was willing to pay 300 gold coins to do this was not really to contribute to the family, but because after he had dinner, a new task was released.
Let him participate in the king's birthday party, and the task reward is to activate the divine blood hidden in the body and become a divine blood swordsman!
Well, to put it simply, the Divine Blood Swordsman is equivalent to the priest of the God of Slavery.
Since the God of Slavery does not have a complete church system, the birth of priests under his command can only rely on the activation of divine blood.
Of course, the divine blood swordsmen are not just simple priests, they possess powerful force, speed, defense, and are also staunch defenders of the royal family.
Once each divine blood swordsman is born, the royal family will absorb it, confer the corresponding title, and even marry the princess in order to allow the royal family's descendants to obtain a stronger bloodline.
From the above introduction, it can be seen that the birth of the Divine Blood Swordsman is still relatively difficult.
First of all, it is easier for royal members with stronger divine blood to activate divine blood.
