Fruit Basket Village entrance.

"To have such a beautiful servant, it seems Your Highness is also a person with a deep understanding of aesthetics."

Karen sighed, then rode the Black Abyss Wolf, preparing to enter the village.

Although he had not yet met that Your Highness, he already had a faint belief in his heart.

After all, the appearance of a servant can, in some ways, reflect the rank of a noble.

Perhaps, this beautiful servant in front of him came with that Your Highness from the East Continent.

"Please wait a moment."

Just as Karen was about to enter the village, he was stopped by Anlìyà.

Her snow-white, slender arm fearlessly blocked the Black Abyss Wolf's intimidating wolf mouth, without considering the risk that this giant beast could tear her apart with a slight fit of anger.

"Your Highness only allows you to enter alone, please dismount, Viscount, dismount the wolf." Anlìyà stated calmly.

Hearing this, Karen frowned tightly.

If it was just not allowing the Sauron Knights and guards to enter, that would be fine, after all, if a battle really broke out, they would only be a burden.

But Black Tail was different; a Knight's combat power is greatly reduced without a mount.

What's more, Black Tail, as a magical beast, is a major combat force in itself.

"My mount has a good temper and will not disturb Your Highness." Karen said in a deep voice, with a hint of sternness in his tone.

He patted the Wolf Head under him, and the Black Abyss Wolf very spiritually wagged its dark tail to show its well-behaved nature.

"I'm sorry, this is Your Highness's order. If you insist on refusing, please leave."

Ignoring the sternness in the lord's voice, Anlìyà said in a clear, spring-like voice, word by word.

At the same time, she raised her arm and made a gesture of asking him to leave.

Karen was silent.

His dark green eyes stared intently at the girl, trying to exert mental pressure on her.

The Black Abyss Wolf under him also instantly changed from a "dog" to a wolf, glaring fiercely at Anlìyà and slightly baring its sharp fangs.

However, faced with this extremely oppressive scene, enough to frighten ordinary people into panic and flight, the girl's will did not waver in the slightest, and she still maintained her previous gesture of asking him to leave.

Ten seconds, twenty seconds, a minute passed, and Karen was defeated.

He sighed softly and jumped off the back of the Black Abyss Wolf.

He had originally thought of using the Black Abyss Wolf as a means of testing the other party's identity.

After all, if the other party was really a prince from a super kingdom that unified the entire East Continent, even if he was not good at fighting, he would definitely be accustomed to magical beasts of the Black Abyss Wolf's level.

Therefore, he would definitely not show surprise when he saw the Black Abyss Wolf; on the contrary, it would indicate the falsity of his identity. But now it seemed that this means of testing was no longer necessary. After all, even his servant was indifferent to the Black Abyss Wolf, so why should he make a fool of himself?

"Viscount Hughes, you only need to go straight ahead, Your Highness is waiting for you under the Old Oak Tree in the center of the village."

Seeing that Karen had given up on riding the Black Abyss Wolf into the village, Anlìyà withdrew her arm that had been blocking the way.

"You are an excellent maid."

Karen said lightly as he passed Anlìyà.

"It is because the master taught me well." The girl replied calmly.

Sunlight slanted across the ground, illuminating a time-worn Old Oak Tree, thick enough to encircle with several people, standing tall and firm.

Its stout branches and dense canopy formed a giant umbrella, shielding from the scorching sun.

Beneath the shade, there was a stone table and two wooden chairs.

A young man of about twenty years old was already sitting on one of the wooden chairs.

This was the scene Karen saw after entering the village and walking a short distance.

Of course, his attention was not wasted on these sights at the moment, but was all focused on the long string of white text above the young man's head.

"Heir to a Kingdom of 1.4 Billion Citizens!"

Karen couldn't help but read it out, and then he was stunned.

Although he had already heard it from his Servant Knight Sauron, seeing it with his own eyes was a different concept from hearing it.

What's more... the other party's outrageous Status Blessing was actually word for word! No, no, it might be some kind of illusion, calm down, I need to calm down.

Karen's palms clenched into fists, the pain of his nails digging deep into his flesh quickly woke him from his astonishment.

Then, he concentrated his magic power into his eyes, and his dark green pupils glowed slightly, trying to see through this ingenious illusion.

One second, two seconds, five seconds passed, and the text in front of him remained unchanged.

This meant that either this Status Blessing bestowed by heaven was real, or the other party's illusion or some kind of magic had reached a point where even a Star Rank powerhouse could not see through it.

In any case, this meant that the other party was worthy of his extremely cautious treatment.

Thinking of this, Karen quickly withdrew his magic power, and the indifferent expression on his tough face was quickly replaced by a bright, even slightly ingratiating smile.

Ah, since becoming the lord, he seemed to have never shown such an expression again, after all, there was no need to perform anymore.

Worried that his smile might be too fake and would be seen through by that Your Highness, Karen walked towards the young man uneasily.

On the other side.

"Is he the lord of Black Wolf Territory, Viscount Hughes?"

Xian sat in the chair, looking at the mature young man in his early thirties from a distance.

After taking the job of College Student, he had an all-round improvement in his physique, such as strength, speed, stamina... even his eyesight had been improved, so he could clearly see the person coming.

So tall and strong!

This was his first impression.

Xian's height was 1.83 meters without shoes, which was also in the range of tall people on Earth.

But the man in the black dress, who couldn't hide his muscles, was at least 1.93 meters tall, and with his terrifying double-door shoulder width, it really gave this Earth person a small shock at first glance.

He had no doubt about the viscount's martial power, after all, judging from his appearance alone, even three Sauron Knights would not be his opponent.

Besides his appearance, another thing that caught his attention was the line of Emerald Green text above the man's head—"Noble."

Concise and to the point.

Without a doubt, this would be his first contact with the ruling class of this world.

Honestly, Xian felt a little nervous inside, and his forehead was even slightly sweaty due to the tension and the hot weather.

But after a moment, he relaxed.

Because he saw that noble Viscount Hughes standing there blankly, staring wide-eyed at him—or rather, at the text above his head.

He stared so intently that his eyes were dry and shining, yet he couldn't bear to look away.

Hey, stop looking, no matter how much you look, it's still real.

Although, apart from the text above my head, everything else about me is fake.

Xian picked up the wooden cup filled with Red Fruit Wine on the table, took a sip, and thought to himself.
