BXBX NOVEL Chapter 15 Melvix Family Plaque
The next morning.
Wearing an aristocratic dress, Zick looked at himself in the mirror.
\'The more I grow up the more handsome I became.....with this looks I totally surpass the protagonist\'s charms don\'t I ?\'
Having such a narcissistic thought, he tried smiling at himself in the mirror. Looking at the beautiful smile which can charm anyone he had another thought.
\'I would like to take the dragon heart in this journey but that\'s impossible...\'
The dragon heart is located at the east of the first continent where the Mhydrasvil empire is currently located.
"Sigh....."
Sighing to himself, Zick took a last look into his ring to see if he didn\'t miss anything. There was a diary, some spare dress, some swords and two bottles of wine.
He carried the diary around with him even though it is written in the native language of earth just in case if he needs it.
He got the Wine bottles from Butler Von at dinner yesterday. He could only take two of the best bottles of wine as it is so rare that there are only five bottles in the whole Melvix family.
With just these four items the space ring\'s storage was fully filled.
\'I should buy a better space ring if I can\'
Not owning any money made him uncomfortable but he couldn\'t do anything about it right at the moment.
Heading towards the front of the estate, Zick could see a carriage in front of the gate.
The carriage looked fancy no matter how he looked at it. The plating of the carriage was in brown colour along with designs made of gold upon it.
The thing which caught Zick interest the most was the crest which looked like a black sword aiming at the sun, it was etched in the middle of the carriage.
It was the Melvix family\'s crest.
Walking near it, Zick could see 10 horses with knights sitting upon it positioned in front and back of the carriage.
Suddenly one of the knights headed towards Zick with his horse. Getting near him, he got off the horse\'s back and kneeled.
THUD! THUD!...
Zick could hear all the knights getting down their horse and kneeling towards him.
"We have been ordered to escort you to the Garcia estate safely, Young master Zick"
The one who kneeled in front of him started speaking when all the knights had also kneeled.
The knight looked to be in his 30s with light weight armour and a sword with the Melvix family crest drawn on it, which hung in his waist. He had brownish hair and two sharp brown eyes matching his hair.
\'What....\'
Being in the knight\'s training ground for so long, Zick could tell the ranks of the other people easily by looking at the mana around them. Only the mana of the assassin is hard to make out for Zick now.
The knight kneeling in front of him was a peak rank knight without a doubt. He knew that there would be knights to guard him but he didn\'t expect it to be a peak rank knight.
Peak rank knights are already an elite force, losing them is a huge loss that cannot be taken lightly even by the ruling forces.
All the other knights guarding him were high rank knight too.
\'one peak rank knight and nine high rank knight....unless a master swordsman appears I don\'t have anything to fear\'
"What is your name?"
Zick asked the peak rank knight with a smile on his face.
"Vincent, sir!"
Answering in a loud voice, Vincent bowed his head lower with respect written all over his face.
\'He is really loyal to the Melvix family isn\'t he?\'
Nodding his head, Zick ordered everyone to prepare for travelling.
Butler Von was standing beside the carriage almost like a statue, Zick could see a letter in his hands.
Butler Von stepped forward and handed it to Zick when all the knights began preparing to leave.
"What is this??"
"It\'s the Melvix family\'s plaque"
"..."
Hearing Butler Von\'s plain voice, Zick was left speechless with his smile frozen in place.
He would be an idiot if he didn\'t know what this was.
A plaque of a noble family works like a cheque in this world and not to say it was the plaque of the Melvix family.
\'what is he planning to do now...?\'
Zick wasn\'t aware that he would be sent to do a mission when he turns 12 year old so he became suspicious of Zevkoras generous action.
A plaque of the Melvix family can only be handed over to someone else with the permission of the current head of the family.
So Zick knew that Zevkoras was the one who ordered the plaque to be given to him.
Even though there was a smile on Zick\'s face, his eyes were staring blankly at the plaque.
In the end he decided to just take it.
\'I was planning on buying things anyway, I should just take it with me\'
He put it in his pocket and headed within the carriage.
Inside the carriage he sat comfortably on the seat. Butler Von sat beside the coachman in front of the carriage.
\'this is the first time I am leaving this estate....\'
Zick wasn\'t a fan of travelling around so going on an adventure didn\'t even cross his mind.
As long as it wasn\'t necessary he didn\'t like travelling.
To reach the Garcia family\'s estate the carriage had to cross two cities in total.
The beginning two of the city are owned by a marquise rank noble.
His name is Marquis Loshwod.
The cities names are fiersvel city and belscon city respectively.
Marquise Loshwod has already been informed of their carriage passing through their cities so there shouldn\'t be any problem.
Normally a lower ranked noble would have to come greet a higher ranked noble to pay them respect but this time there was no need for it.
Zick is a heir of the Melvix family, This title itself holds a lot of power but it couldn\'t make a marquise ranked noble come and pay respect to them.
After crossing these Cities they just had to travel for one day to reach the domain of the Garcia family.
The carriage was passing through a thick forest; the Melvix family estate was surrounded from all sides with thick forest.
The carriage destination was the fiersvel city. It takes at least 9 hours to reach there.
But it wasn\'t accurate as in the middle the carriage would have to stop in the middle sometimes for everyone to eat food.
After becoming a knight, even the lowest rank could stay alive for a long time without eating food. But the knights still decided to take breaks in the middle.
So it would take a while for them to reach their first destination.
Zick started training to increase his mana as he had a lot of free time.
The rank of the noble of this world is as follows-
DUKE
MARQUISE
COUNT
VISCOUNT
BARON
