Chapter 171: Eat, eat, eat, that’s all you know_3

"In that case, allow me to extend the hospitality of a host."

After reviewing the Hero’s upcoming schedule, the Count nodded his head.

"In the time to come, you’ll stay here. There are many guest rooms in the mansion, and your luggage will be delivered later."

Upon hearing this, the Hero hurriedly reached for pen and paper.

But the Count stretched out his hand to gently press down and stopped her.

"Don’t be polite, consider it a father’s repayment."

The Count, with eyes the same color as the little girl’s, earnestly looked at the Hero.

"I’ve naturally heard about your adventure with my daughter. Without you, I might have lost her, and just thinking about it now scares me.

"While helping a friend might be natural for you, so too is the act of repaying a benefactor for me.

"Please, do not let this inadequate father feel ashamed again."

Had the Count been the one to plan his daughter’s trip, he certainly wouldn’t have settled for just those four young guards.

Although they were loyal and possessed a certain degree of strength, their combination was overly simplistic to deal with the various unexpected events on the road.

But before that, the Count would never have let his young daughter journey back through such distances.

Therefore, when he saw his own daughter suddenly appearing at home before her birthday, his heart felt more alarmed than pleasantly surprised.

And after hearing the story of her travels with the Hero, even more so.

Fantasy Species, high fever, Elf Rabbit...

Even if the Count humbly claimed ignorance, he still listened with bated breath.

So at this moment, his gratitude towards the Hero was indeed sincere.

And moreover, if the daughter’s words about the Phoenix Power were true...

[The Count’s opinion on Phoenix Power?]

1. Hahaha, how could that be, she must have misunderstood.

2.Although the future holds promise, it’s meaningless if the owner is not strong.

3. The little girl didn’t tell him.

4. Are you interested in joining the army?♛

9. Knows the place where the Phoenix once fell.

And with such a sincere plea, the Hero’s pen could not write the words of refusal, thus had no choice but to accept the Count’s kindness.

Seeing the Hero nod in agreement, the Count’s expression softened.

If it wasn’t for hearing the vivid narration from his daughter and conducting his own investigation, it would be hard to imagine that not only was this girl a Hero, but she also harbored such power within.

[Does the Count remember the Hero’s father? (Third Ascension+30, eight years ago-10)]

50-: No♛

100: The father was a battle hero, confirmed Fourth Transition.

110+: You are actually relatives.

=120: Father slew the Demon King.

D100+20=d100(4)+20=24

Although her father was a Military Merit Duke and a Pantheon Mage, the Count had no impression of him.

The Count looked at the Hero, her dark hair and Emerald Eye pupils, without any extraordinary consideration, detached from the fact that she was the daughter of the Wu family.

No matter what, he was the Count ruling the Border, in command of the Kingdom’s strongest army, his power far surpassing those court Counts, even ordinary Kings.

And in the past battles at the Border, there were countless individuals stronger than Heroes, swarming like fish across the river.

[The current number of official Heroes in the Kingdom (peaceful-30, less than 30 signifies only the Church has)]

D70=46

Now, at the Border, there’s a renowned Hero stationed at the very frontline, who slew the Demon King that sparked the Arcane Surge eight years ago.

[He—She]

D100=72

So, while her father was a competent Military Merit Duke, stars of strong individuals emerged from the battlefield, and he, as the Lord of this land, could not and need not remember each of these people.

To the Border Count, aside from being a friend of his daughter, the girl in front of him was nothing more than an ordinary girl with some adventure experience and potential.

Not someone that needed his level of courtesy.

Still, the father slightly bowed his head towards the young lady, sincerely conveying his thanks and request.

And after the Hero agreed to stay, he hesitated for a moment but still asked,

"Child, are you interested in joining the Border’s military?"

The Count’s sudden question took the Hero by surprise.

"I know this question is abrupt, and your goals differ from typical Heroes, but our army is also responsible for the eradication of low-level Magic Creatures, including Goblins."

Keywords reached the Hero’s ears, making her expression turn serious.

The Count continued.

"Although you’ve joined the Church, the constraints of the Outer Court aren’t strong, and the Church and the army also collaborate.

"For a Hero, the army is a good environment for growth, with collective assistance and plenty of battles to experience.

"In fact, the current commander holding the front line is a Hero, and also a female at that. She should be a good example for you.

"What do you think?"

[Interest of the Hero in joining the army]

D100=d100(50)=50

Seeing the Hero in hesitation, the Count did not rush her.

"You don’t have to answer me now, just visit the barracks when you have time, or participate in an activity of our troops. After a field inspection, you’ll be able to make a better decision.

"With your potential, you shouldn’t limit yourself to being just a—no, perhaps I shouldn’t be the one to say this."

The Count stopped his speech.

This time, he finally took a step and headed towards the door.

"I’ve talked too long by accident; I really have to deal with official duties now, or the Maid Supervisor will get angry."

The Count waved his hand, looking less like a Noble going to handle official duties and more like an Engineer about to tackle a difficult challenge.

"You can take your time enjoying the rest of the desserts; someone will take you to the guest room later."

Naturally, the Hero couldn’t just sit down and continue eating, and she quickly stood up to see the Count off.

Before the Count reached the door, it opened automatically, and the Maid Supervisor with a gentle smile was already waiting outside.

Her eyelids lifted slightly as if she was about to speak but then surprisingly widened her eyes, looking at the dessert table next to the Hero.

Attracted by the Maid’s action, the Hero also shifted her gaze.

On the plate that she had just cut a piece of dessert for the Count, was a black card, placed seemingly casually and smeared with some residual honey.

"Just hosting you overnight doesn’t count as much of a reward."

Seeing both of them noticing the existence of the Black Card, the Count chuckled easily.

"However, it’s been quite a while since I’ve interacted with a young lady of your age, and indeed I found it hard to choose a suitable gift.

"After all, with the abundance of the Count Mansion’s collection, even if you picked something directly from it, you’d probably struggle to decide what suits you."

The Count looked at the Hero.

"So consider it a time-limited reward; that’s my card, and I’ve already authorized its use to you. During your stay at the border, you can freely use it.

"Also, pass the word along to avoid any misunderstandings."

"I understand."

The Maid Supervisor next to him did not show any doubt, only nodding her head in deference.

"As for what to buy and how to use it, that’s up to you.

"As long as it’s something in this city, it can be bought—of course, except for the soul."

[The Hero obtained a time-limited item: the Black Card of the Count]

[Limit: unlimited]

At this moment, in your hands, you hold the future.

"Oh, and if I find out you’ve spent too little, I certainly won’t allow you to leave the city."

Before the shocked Hero could refuse, the Count closed the door and left with a light laugh.

"My daughter indeed, she actually said she was going to study, not to socialize, so she left all those pieces of jewelry at home... I’ve told her so many times those are Magic Items... she should take at least one or two..."

Outside, the voice of the Count grew fainter and fainter.

The Maid Supervisor once again bowed to the Hero and then left.

The door of the reception room closed again, leaving the Hero alone, staring blankly at the Black Card that seemed to absorb all light in the pervading silence.

Holding this card at the border, you could buy anything...
