He thought about many possibilities, but he never expected that Irene would come to him because of this.
While his mind was still digesting this information,
Eileen took out a copper noble coat of arms and a parchment letter of appointment from the deerskin bag she carried with her.
Her crystal eyes sparkled like a caring little daughter-in-law, "I know you are afraid of trouble, so I have taken care of all the procedures for you. With these things, it will be much more convenient for you in the future."
"Um?"
Raymond was stunned for a moment, and then he recovered from his confusion, "Huh? I will become a noble now?"
Although there are so many nobles in the world of navigation,
But for ordinary civilians,
Not to mention a baron,
It is extremely difficult to obtain the status of an ordinary knight's retinue.
But,
It is this kind of aristocratic status that is simply out of reach for ordinary people.
For Erin,
It's just a matter of a few words.
There are many benefits to being a noble. Not only do you receive a fixed salary, but you also have many privileges over civilians.
for example...
If Raymond's shooting of Sissi is exposed,
Tried according to territorial laws,
If he were a commoner, he would be hanged;
But if he is a noble, then he will only be fined and compensated according to the law, and he will not even have to go to jail.
This is the sense of superiority of the nobility.
He suddenly felt that some luck was playing tricks on people,
Carefully calculated,
It's not as good as someone else's words.
With this baron status, many things in front of me can be easily solved.
...
"Um."
Eileen nodded, then revealed the ultimate purpose of her move, and whispered: "With the status of baron, you can now directly transfer to the elite class."
When Raymond heard this, something suddenly touched his heart.
Isn't this noble status a 'back door' that Irene specially gave herself?
Sure enough, Eileen hesitated for a moment and then explained: "The annual competition is very dangerous... You are a noble now, there is no need to participate in that kind of competition. Also... I heard that the college guard picked up a classmate
The report said that you are suspected of a murder... I believe that Mr. Raymond is not that kind of person. There must be some misunderstanding here. With this noble status, you will also have less trouble... At least the guard has no definite evidence
Before, they wouldn't have troubled you."
She tried her best to keep her tone calm, but her trembling crystal eyes could not hide the uneasiness in her heart.
Raymond seems to have been at home for too long in his previous life, and he is inexplicably slow about emotions.
At this moment, his thoughts were not focused on Irene's good intentions.
I can't understand what the trace of expectation in her eyes means,
Instead he frowned,
I muttered in my heart,
"Evidence? It seems that you will have to use the 'Hex's Three-Barrel Warhammer' less in front of others in the future..."
When he thought about it, Sissi did die in his own hands after all.
Moreover, there were traces of the fierce battle between himself and Goss in the alley, especially the exaggerated ballistic traces of the three-barrel war hammer, which were highly identifiable.
Use the Hex three-barreled war hammer less often in front of people, so as to leave the least possible clues to others, which is the most important thing to pay attention to.
Really need it,
You have to kill them all.
...
Taking over the noble coat of arms and parchment,
Raymond felt like he should say something.
He scratched his head and couldn't think of anything good to say.
In the end, he only spat out two words.
"Thanks."
As if her long-awaited response had been answered, she smiled like a flower.
"You're welcome, Mr. Raymond."
Eileen didn't know why she was helpless and panicked, and said: "After all, you saved my life... these little things are not worth mentioning."
[Ding! Irene’s favorability towards you is 5.]
The system prompts that the favorability level has increased again.
But Raymond felt that he was not as happy as he expected.
He looked at this delicate girl like a porcelain doll,
Suddenly I felt a little ashamed of my previous behavior of deceiving people into favor...
Moreover, if nothing unexpected happens, he plans to lie to her several more times in the future.
He couldn't help but sigh in his heart,
A long sigh.
What a kind and simple girl,
How could you become such a cold-blooded and cruel admiral in the late game?
...
The two of them strolled in the garden of the college,
From time to time someone would point fingers.
Eileen is very uncomfortable with being watched.
Now that the purpose of the trip has been achieved, she took the initiative to say goodbye: "Classmate Raymond, if nothing happens, I will leave first."
"Eileen, are you familiar with the second floor of the library? If it's convenient, I'd like to invite you to take me around."
Raymond thought for a while, then casually invited him, and then said: "Actually, I have always wanted to take a look at the second floor of the library. I was not qualified before. Now..."
Hearing this, Irene was stunned for a moment and asked: "Did classmate Raymond invite me to go to the library together?"
When Raymond said this, he actually just wanted to pave the way for the follow-up plan.
He doesn't know at all,
In this nautical world, inviting a girl to the library alone is almost the same as going on a date.
When aristocratic young men and women go on their first date, they will choose some public places such as libraries or museums to show the aristocracy's reserve and gentlemanly demeanor, and not to make the woman feel embarrassed.
Raymond didn't understand where the panic in Irene's eyes came from, and he casually asked again: "Yes, is it convenient for you?"
Naturally, he didn't notice anything wrong.
His purpose was just to go to the second floor to look for learning books on "Knicks Common Language".
Then find an opportunity to bring the topic to the secret room on the third floor,
This invitation to eat was originally just part of the plan.
"I..."
Upon hearing the second invitation, Irene suddenly looked away, and her cheeks suddenly glowed.
It is said that...
When a girl agrees to go to the library together, it means that she has acquiesced in a certain relationship between the two.
This classmate Raymond...
Why are you so direct the first time?
Raymond looked at Irene in a daze, thinking she didn't hear clearly, and asked again: "Irene, would you like to go to the library with me?"
"that..."
A flash of panic flashed in Irene's crystal eyes, like a frightened deer.
Raymond was focused on the task entrusted by Anna at the moment.
Moreover, this kind of steely straight man has no idea what the girl's tangled expression means.
All his experiences in flirting with girls,
I also learned it from scumbag dramas.
Raymond recalled the scene in the TV series,
Trying hard to imitate the "tyrannical boss" momentum of the scumbag starring actor,
He coughed lightly and invited again: "If it's okay, I'll see you in the library tomorrow morning. What do you think?"
This tone was a bit domineering, seemingly asking, but in fact it was unquestionable.
Time and place are all cleverly strangled!
Hearing the third invitation,
Erin's body trembled slightly.
...
"Huh? Did I remember the lines wrong?"
In fact, Raymond felt a little regretful after saying this.
The expected effect did not appear,
On the contrary, Irene remained silent.
The atmosphere between the two became strangely awkward.
He looked at Irene who had not spoken a word, and his heart was pounding,
"Weren't those words just now so direct that they offended her?"
Raymond exclaimed in his heart,
Damn it, this scumbag man drama made me miss a big deal!
Thinking that I should say something to make amends,
The momentum suddenly dropped,
He glanced at Irene's face and said weakly: "Well...if it's inconvenient, forget it."
"Ah...I didn't mean that!"
Irene panicked when she heard this,
She knew that her hesitation had caused misunderstanding to Raymond.
"Classmate Raymond...then...see you tomorrow morning."
After saying this, she suddenly felt as if her cheeks were on fire, and a blush appeared on her face.
After saying that, he turned around and ran away without a trace.
[Ding! Irene’s favorability towards you is 2.]
"Huh? My favor didn't drop, but it actually increased?"
Raymond looked at Irene's back, confused.
this...
After all, he succeeded in remediating it himself.
Or is the scumbag drama routine working?
Doesn’t it mean that after the favorability level reaches “friendly”, it will be difficult every time you increase it?
Is there something wrong with this broken system?
Why are there always inexplicable reminders that Erin’s favorability is still rising?
