“Hey, what about traffic rules? Uooohhhh—”

Although he had some doubts, Aarons was finally bewitched and got on the motorcycle without wheels.

——Then he had a valuable experience that he had never experienced in his previous life.

"Traffic rules? Are there any such rules in this city?"

“No, but you can’t fly over other people’s heads either—”

This wheelless magic jet motorcycle, which relies on wind magic to float and propel itself, only floats to a height just above that of an ordinary truck.

Every time it passes over the heads of pedestrians or vehicles on the street, it will deliberately spray out a violent airflow, making the people who are blown by it unable to help but curse.

This princess' driving skills are so poor!

"We're here, let me down--"

"Tsk, the distance is so short."

After smacking his lips in obvious dissatisfaction, the black-clad knight deliberately stepped hard on the pedal used to slow down, and then the motorcycle swung a big circle in the air before finally landing on the ground.

If Aarons hadn't fastened his seat belt as soon as he got in the car, he might have been knocked unconscious by now.

"Hoo-ha-ha-so you're trying to murder me?"

"How could that be? I'm a professional pilot with an advanced license. I even won a prize in a competition in the imperial capital."

Are all the people in the imperial capital sick?!

Although the journey was indeed a bit thrilling, Aarons managed to reach the city hall smoothly.

Since he had no idea what Her Royal Highness the Princess wanted to do, Aarons didn't dare to give her any instructions.

As the two of them walked into the hall one after the other like a real master and servant, they were immediately surrounded by a large group of people.

"Mr. Marquis! Do you still need new servants? We can all help!"

"I'm a level 4 fighter, choose me!"

"Mr. Marquis, we are healers who are good at light magic. Can we go to your house and be servants?"

Aarons had no idea what was going on. He had never seen anyone treat him so warmly. If the princess hadn't taken the initiative to stand in front of him and block him for a while, he might have been drowned by the excited crowd.

Besides, Her Royal Highness the Princess is almost the same height as me...if you include the high heels, she's actually a little taller than me!

"Wait, wait...what's going on?"

"I'm sorry, Master... No, Lord Marquis. They have been waiting for your visit since yesterday, and they were a little excited to see you."

After Director Chen finally squeezed out of the crowd, Aarons realized that the people surrounding him seemed to be someone he had seen somewhere before.

"When did I become so popular?"

"Have you forgotten that these people are the ones who fought with you in Conil Village?"

It turns out that these people were the volunteers during the Beast Tide - but why?

Aarons did not think that he deserved such respect. After all, he did not participate in the battle at that time. He was just standing on the city wall and giving orders to those below as he pleased.

"Master, I still dream about the battle you commanded... If it weren't for you, we would have died there long ago!"

"Why call me Young Master? This is the Marquis! Marquis, you want to fight against other nobles, so count us in as well!"

"You can survive by following Lord Aarons!"

How could I, who played no actual role in that battle, really earn such respect from others?

Aarons shook his head in disbelief, but Her Royal Highness the Princess stepped behind him and whispered in his ear.

"My Lord Marquis still has some popularity. Can you tell me about the battle they talked about?"

The soft and sweet tone, which was completely different from the previous one, made Aarons shudder violently.

It's so scary to suddenly speak in such a pinched voice!

"Master, who is this lady?"

"Oh, she is the public...ah!"

When Aarons was about to reveal the identity of the person next to him, he suddenly felt an unbearable pain in the soft part of his waist.

Not only did he instantly take a breath of cold air, he almost bit his tongue. It was then that he finally realized that it was the princess who was secretly pinching him.

——Those two layers of clothing that could defend against third-level magic attacks, for some reason, were completely unable to block such a direct attack.

"…She is my new servant."

"Is that so? Then there's no chance for you guys this month. Come back next month."

"Wait a minute, Director Chen, I came here to solve the problem of manpower. I didn't expect there would be so many people... but now I have a new idea."

Looking at the people around him who had ordinary looks and mediocre abilities, Aarons couldn't help but feel moved.

In the past, he had never experienced the feeling of being surrounded by people like this, and he never thought that one day he would have so many supporters.

"You all know that I will be dealing with other nobles in this match, and I will prioritize dealing with those nobles who have great power behind them, right? To deal with these people, brute force alone will not work."

Although the rules limit the number of combatants, it does not mean that you cannot seek help from others.

"I need someone to help me go to various cities to collect information about other players' activities. This job may be boring and even dangerous. If you are willing to help me, I am willing to pay you generously."

Paying someone to help might violate the rules against hiring mercenaries, but no one would care about buying intelligence.

If the people here are really willing to help, then my future actions will be easier.

"Oh, the Marquis intends to send us to gather intelligence. Where is the best place for us to go, brother?"

"Speer, I know a lot of people there."

"Are we going to Kraal? Or Sigwedo?"

"Mar-Vell probably needs help too, right? It would be great if a few of us magicians could go over there."

The crowd's reaction once again surprised Aarons. Not only did these people not intend to bargain, they were even ready to give it a try.

Seeing Aarons looking somewhat at a loss, Director Chen, who used to be a subordinate of Marquis Moti, smiled with relief.

"Master, I have always believed that your efforts will be rewarded. Why don't you just build your own power from now on and let those who once looked down on you see your talents?"

"...Well, let's do it this way. Everyone, please be quiet for a moment, and then go to the counter and line up! I need to count the specific combat power of the participants!"

After hearing Aarons' command, these people actually took action immediately according to his words - perhaps after that life-and-death battle, they had already bet their future on this young master who was called a waste.

"It's really exciting to witness the first step of the Marquis's career - I want to queue up and register too."

"...Don't do this, I'm scared."

Watching Her Royal Highness the Princess walking happily towards the team of volunteers, Aarons couldn't help but tremble again.

——What’s the point of being an honorary noble... This princess is the most dangerous opponent!
