A Demon's Journey-Chapter 579 Side Story: Noah (7)

As months passed, Noah's Heretical Paladins got used to the culture of the Great Qin Empire. They had changed their accent considerably, and it would be difficult to distinguish them from a local of Granca Town.

The initial hype about Noah's Heretical Paladins settled down as well.

During this time, Noah's men focused on gathering information about the region of Granca Town.

This region is assigned to the Noble Family Balgett. This is a Sixth Grade Noble Family with close connections to a Seventh Grade Noble Family named Rothsbert.

Apparently, the Noble Heiress of Rothsbert fell in love with the Noble Heir of Balgett during their time in Academy. They expressed their desires to their respective family and got married.

Naturally, the process wasn't as straightforward.

The Balgett family didn't have an issue with the marriage, but the Rothsbert family was split with many opinions.

Some group members praised the union and offered compelling justifications. There were, however, many who opposed this union as well. They were opposed to this union for good reasons. It would have been more desirable for the Rothsbert Family to conduct this marriage with another Seventh Grade Noble Family.

The Noble Heiress of Rothsbert is a beauty that is rarely seen, even in a high-ranking Noble Family. Her lovely looks, elegant temperament, and powerful bloodline were considered very precious.

However, the Balgett Family didn't stay silent during this period. The heir of the Balgett family decided to prove his talent by challenging all Noble Family students in Academy.

He destroyed them all in battle!

Well, all those who participated. There were some Noble Family Heirs who disdained participating in this battle. They knew the purpose of this battle and didn't wish to interfere.

The Balgett Family Heir held a good relationship with all other academy students. So, no one actually sabotaged him at this moment.

There were even some Noble Family Heirs who didn't fight earnestly and gave him an easy win.

Rothsbert observed these battles closely and was convinced by the martial prowess of the Balgett Family's Heir.

It wasn't actually his power that convinced the Rothsbert Family, but his level of insight in Flame Element.

Even though the Balgett Family Heir is just a 4 Star Warrior, he shows spectacular comprehension.

This level of comprehension implied that he would definitely reach the King Rank and have a chance of advancing to the Emperor Rank.

This news pleased the Rothsbert Family, but other Sixth Grade Noble Families felt threatened.

Firstly, the Balgett Family's Heir's talent and comprehension alarmed them. Secondly, this union of the Balgett Family and the Rothsbert Family would definitely change the rankings of the Noble Families. It would significantly affect the interests of the other Noble Families.

These Noble Families were holding secret meetings to prepare a countermeasure.

Meanwhile, Noah shared this information with Sargan and others.

Upon hearing this information, Yrellea said, "Joining this family has few merits. They won't allow Noah to keep his army or increase it."

Laura agreed with that statement, "Yeah, Noah. You should roam around and try your luck in sects. Recruit the outer sect disciples from different sects and put them through your training. I am sure they will become very powerful."

"I will provide you with pellets. Although the quality of these pellets won't be as high as what Master used to concoct, it should be passable," Ralph declared.

"…I think you should join this Noble Family, Noah. There is one benefit to joining this Noble Family, and that is their political power. We need the support of a Noble Family within the Great Qin Empire if we are to find any information regarding our Master," Sargan spoke seriously.

Tiana added, "I concur with this statement. The Noble Family must have taken note of Noah and his Heretical Paladins group. They will send an official delegate soon."

"…Moreover, there is a chance that the Noble Families will realize you are a foreigner. It would be best to join a Noble Family that would shelter you and obscure you from other forces," William spoke.

These words actually convinced Yrellea and Laura as well.

"So, I should wait for the Noble Family's delegates to arrive?" Noah inquired with a puzzled look.

Sargan spoke, "No. It would be best to take the initiative. Just head to the family estate of this Noble House and express your desire to work for them."

Yrellea suddenly spoke, "What if they inquire about his origins?"

Sargan responded casually, "I will naturally help him with the cover story."

He then grew a bit serious and added, "Noah, you must never reveal any information about our master."

"Got it," Noah spoke.

Sargan seemed satisfied upon hearing Noah's response. He began, "The cover story is that you belonged to an aristocratic family in the Glerian Kingdom. You unlocked your talents very early, and the whole family focused on you and tried their best to increase your cultivation. After the Lamhilhan Theocracy and the Sinyalian Kingdom waged war on the Glerian Kingdom, you created the Heretical Paladins and fought for the Glerian Kingdom as best as you could."

"Alright, I will keep that in mind," Noah uttered.

"Take Aria and Luna along. Their cover identity will be that of your maid. They won't have any issue acting according to this role, right?" Yrellea asked.

"They won't disobey my orders," Noah assured her.

After settling a couple more details, the meeting ended.

In this meeting, Sargan never actually stated the true reason why he wanted Noah to enter the Noble Family.

He knew that once Noah entered this Noble Family, they would discover his exceptional talent. It wouldn't be far-fetched to say that Noah's talent could be ranked in the top ten of the entire world. 𝗳𝗿𝐞ℯ𝙬𝗲𝗯n𝗼νel.𝒄𝑜𝘮

As a 5-Star Warrior, Noah had already unlocked the True Sword Domain. He could even target a warrior's spirit with his Sword Qi. And even more importantly, Noah's Sword Qi had grown strong enough that it could even pass through a Spatial Tunnel without losing much of its power.

Thus, Noah had already shared much of his Sword Qi with Azaroth's other retainers through the Mystical Spiritual Connection Ring.

This Sword Qi was so powerful that it could even affect a 6-Star Warrior. This was another layer of defense for them.

Anyway, after the Noble Family discovers Noah's outstanding talent, they will try their best to conceal Noah and connect him to their family.

There is a huge possibility that the Balgett House would betroth Noah to an heiress from the main family.

Sargan also had an explanation for choosing Balgett Housoveran Rothsbert House even though it was one rank lower.

This was because the Rothsbert Houswasis was already at the top of the hierarchy in the Great Qin Empire. There only ones above it are the great sects, associations, and the Royal Family.

They don't possess that many rivals or even the ambition to grow.

However, the Balgett House is different. Their ambition to reach the Seventh Grade Noble Family will compel them to take risks.

And these decisions will only be favorable for Noah.
