The cold-faced earl doesn't want to trigger the plot

It turns out that in this world, there really exists such a perfect person who seems to have walked out of a fantasy story...

Veronica thought silently in her heart, then patted her cheeks with both hands to make sure she was not dreaming.

She thought she must be in a miracle right now.

So what she can do is to cherish the present time.

"My lord, I will work hard!"

Veronica clenched her fists vigorously, and whispered to herself as if to cheer herself up.

And it just so happened that Riber, who had just walked out of the stable, seemed to hear someone calling him from a distance.

"Huh? Did you say anything?"

"No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, good night, Lord Earl!"

Just like that, waving the fist she just clenched, Veronica turned around and walked away from the back door of the mansion as if fleeing.

"Good night or something...I haven't had dinner yet."

Riber looked at Veronica's rapidly shrinking back, shrugged, and walked towards the mansion.

...

...

On the second floor of the mansion, Riber, who was sitting at the dining table early, waiting for the day's dinner, saw Alice coming up the stairs.

It seems that this is a rare day for Alice to go to school all day.

Due to the cooler weather, Alice wore a lot of furry clothes that day, and her whole body looked like a fur ball.

And behind Alice was Sebastian carrying school bags of various sizes.Because, he was the one who picked up Alice from school today.

Watching this scene, Riber's expression couldn't help becoming subtler.

how to say?

Compared to his young master, is Alice more like a young lady with a housekeeper taking care of her daily life?

When did it become like this!

"Ah! Riber!"

Hmm... This brat, Alice, is also underestimating the great Earl this day.

After calling Riber, the little fur ball bounced and ran to Riber's side.

"Ribel, I'm going to have my tenth birthday in three days!"

With a happy smile, Alice reported to Ribel.

And Riber just calmly picked up the teacup in front of him, took a sip of tea,

"is it?"

No wonder, when Alice saw him today, her first reaction was not to frown.It turned out that it was a gift.

"If you want to borrow money from me, I don't have it. So, you can go to Sebastian directly."

"That's not it!"

Alice stamped her feet,

"Why do you think that a child who is about to have her tenth birthday talks to you and wants to borrow money from you?"

"Uh..."

Maybe it's because I have encountered all kinds of new online scams in my previous life?

Riber thought for a while, put down the teacup, then solemnly turned to Alice, and said earnestly,

"Alice, you should also know that there are 360 ​​five days in a year. Therefore, divide the total population of this world by 360 five, which is the average number of people who celebrate their birthdays per day. That is to say, your On your birthday, there are also hundreds of thousands or even millions of people celebrating your birthday. So, it’s not your own holiday, and it’s not rare at all.”

Alice tilted her head and raised her face, listening to Riber's words.

Every time Riber said something, her expression became dumbfounded.

"Besides, the birthday itself does not make that day special. Even if it is a birthday, isn't that day also 24 hours? The sun will also rise and set? There is no difference from other ordinary days. What is there to celebrate? necessary?"

Alice's eyes gradually lost their luster.

"More importantly, assuming that you can live to be a hundred years old, you have to celebrate a hundred birthdays. Even if you eat a hundred bags of your favorite lilac beans in a row, you will feel that Nausea, right? So, the more you feel overwhelmed by birthday surprises now, the more you will be bored by past birthdays..."

"Ribel, will I really cry?"

Interrupting Riber's words, Alice said to him with a calm expression as if she had let everything go.

And Riber met Alice's gaze, and after making a serious judgment, he felt that this little guy was serious.

then...

"Okay, don't cry. Tell me, what do you want, I will give it to you as a birthday present then."

Riber said, sighing.

No way, who made him the most upright and kind-hearted young man who couldn't see children crying?

"Really?"

"real."

"Anything is fine?"

"Naturally. The premise is that I can do it."

Hearing Riber's words, Alice's eyes suddenly glowed again.

"Ribel!"

"I want to be an earl!"

Volume II: Chapter 83, A Day in the Earl's Day

Riber looked at Alice who suddenly spoke strange words with a calm expression, and began to drink tea again.

Gee.

Even elementary school students in another world are under so much pressure?

"Don't ignore me!"

Seeing Riber's flat reaction, Alice said dissatisfied.

"Okay, okay, then tell me again what you are going to do."

"I want to be an earl!"

"Uh...isn't it a bit too conservative to be an earl? Or, how about being a king? I'll find someone to customize a crown for you tomorrow. It's inlaid with three gemstones, what do you think?"

Riber said to Alice with a gentle look at his own silly child.

Isn't it the behavior of a bad adult to deliberately destroy a child's dream?So, he won't scoff...

Hahahaha!

"I'm serious!"

Seeing Riber's perfunctory, Alice said with a dissatisfied expression.

"Well, I'm actually quite serious. But well, since you're more serious..."

Riber sighed and suddenly yelled,

"Sebas—!"

"Yes! Young master!"

Sebastian, who seemed to be tidying up Alice's room, heard an echo from afar.

"Can I list Alice as my heir?"

"Huh? What are you talking about, young master! This does not conform to the rules of nobles!"

From the voice, Sebastian was clearly in a hurry.

And Riber, who got the answer, spread his hands to Alice,

"Here, listen. It's not that I haven't tried."

"So-so-that's not the case. Who's going to be your heir..."

Alice, who seemed tired of losing her temper with Riber, also supported her forehead with the same expression as Riber, and said with a sigh.

Riber raised his eyebrows.

Hey, that's what I said.

The position of the heir to the dignified earl, this little guy actually doesn't think much of it.Believe it or not, if such news is released, those who want to be heirs can stand around Greenwater City several times?

"Then what exactly do you want?"

Riber asked helplessly.It is really difficult to communicate with children.

And at this moment, Sebastian, who hurried down from the upstairs, roughly understood the current situation, and began to explain to Riber.

It turned out that the "Count" that Alice said was different from the Earl that Riber understood.

What she wanted was to be blessed by the God of Light, like Earl Bethos, who could fly into the sky and slay dragons.

"Really...I, the real earl, am in front of you every day. What you yearn for is actually the earl in those legendary stories?"

Riber looked at Alice in disbelief.

And Alice also looked at Riber with an incomprehensible expression.

"You don't do anything but sit in the dining room and drink tea every day. Is there anything you can look forward to?"

"Well..."

Riber was speechless.

"Anyway, young master. Miss Alice, I probably hope that you can take her to the Church of Light to be baptized by the church."

Sebastian on the side, regardless of the young master who was greatly hurt in his heart, continued to popularize science with a kind expression.

In the past during the old Mebrian Kingdom, the Church of Light was indeed a channel for promotion for common people.And the only one.Therefore, like the Church of All Things and the Adventure Guild, the Church of Light at that time almost always refused to come.However, after the old Mebrian became the new Mebrian, the style of the Church of Light also changed.

To put it simply, like the old aristocrats, the Church of Light has a little more "reservation".

Therefore, it is no longer as easy as before to be baptized by the Guangming Church, and there is a certain threshold.

At Alice's age, only those who have maintained excellent grades in elementary schools under the name of the Bright Church and are considered good enough to be recommended by nuns or priests can participate in the annual baptism ceremony.

Lovely Liz...

Riber looked complicatedly at the little girl who was still emitting the dim light of the protagonist, then stretched out his hand and rubbed her head.

Seeing Alice screaming "What are you doing?" and then trying to break his hand away, he didn't think that this stupid little guy was qualified to participate in the christening ceremony.

"So that's it. I probably understand. But, Sebastian, if I come forward, can the people of the Church of Light in Greenwater City conduct a baptism for Alice?"

"Of course it is possible, young master! Even if you ask the Church of Light to hold a grand baptism ceremony, they will not refuse."

Sebastian replied with a proud expression.

Listening to this, it seems that my own face is quite good on the side of the Guangming Church?

Riber thought about it in his heart.

Presumably, it was because his ancestor, the original Earl of Campret, became the eighth-rank Earl through the power of the God of Light.Therefore, their family may have a relatively close relationship with the Illuminati Church, and even bear the brand of the Illuminati Church.

In short, since it's not a big deal, it's a rare occasion for Alice to celebrate her birthday, so it's okay to ask the Church of Light for her sake.

but...

"Alice, you have to think about it carefully. This is a matter of your life. Because, after most people get the power of the God of Light, they can no longer gain the power of the God of Love and the God of Knowledge. So , if you have received the full blessing of the God of Light, it’s fine, but you have only obtained a little power, which may prevent you from becoming a person with great power yourself.”

Riber, who finally became a little more serious, said to Alice.

If it is only the power of the gods at the most basic level, the power of the other two giants is obviously much more practical than the power of the God of Light, which is difficult to promote.

Because of the longing for the characters in the story, I decided to devote myself to the Church of Light or something...

From an adult's point of view, Alice's reason is too hasty and imprecise, and there is still 3 minutes of suspicion.
