Since the system became my girlfriend

"Ding! Grand Marshal Salo has adopted you as his son! Do you accept?!"

With a system notification, an option appeared in front of Su Rui!

With this hint, Su Rui knew very well that once he agreed to this option, he would definitely get some benefits, but along with it would be the enemies that Marshal Salo had accumulated over the years!

Although these enemies haven't dared to retaliate against Marshal Salo, that's because he's a level 80+ boss. But what about Su Rui? He's just a level 20+ player. If these enemies come looking for revenge, they'll have to be at least level 60 or 70 bosses, right? He simply can't handle that.

Furthermore, if there are only benefits and no drawbacks, the system prompts will not remind him to choose carefully!

"Agreed!" Despite facing numerous dangers, Su Rui, out of respect for Marshal Salo, did not hesitate at all. As he agreed, he solemnly assured Marshal Salo, "Grand Marshal! Rest assured, I will certainly not disgrace the honor of the Salo family!"

"Silly child, do you still call me Grand Marshal..." Marshal Salo managed a weak smile.

"Godfather!" Su Rui shouted loudly!

"Good! Good! Good! Cough cough cough cough cough..." Marshal Salo shouted "good" three times, which pushed his already weak body to its limits, causing him to cough up blood several times in a row.

“Godfather…” Su Rui quickly supported the swaying Marshal Salo.

“Ah! My child, I’m sorry, I have nothing to leave you except this sword and this clan crest…” Salo said apologetically.

"Godfather, what I respect is you as a person; I don't care about those external things!" Su Rui said righteously and solemnly.

"Good boy! Then I can rest assured!" Marshal Salo nodded, then carefully handed the family heirloom sword to Su Rui and said to him, "Treat it well!"

"I will!" Su Rui nodded.

"My son, the unfinished business of mine rests on your shoulders. You must protect this country and not let the Brotherhood succeed!" Marshal Salo said, holding Su Rui's hand.

"Yes! Godfather! I promise!" Su Rui was also moved to tears. Although he knew that all the plots were designed, it did not stop him from being moved to tears by Marshal Salo.

"Goodbye, child, I'm going to see my other children... I owe them so much, I hope I can make it up to them properly over there..." Marshal Salo's hand suddenly fell to his sides...

"Godfather..." Su Rui let out a wail. He was so engrossed in the role that he didn't even hear the series of system notifications that followed!

A moment later, Marshal Salo's body disappeared. After all, the game is not reality, and there's no need to collect corpses here. Dead NPCs will be refreshed quickly.

"Godfather...don't worry, I will protect this country for you!" Su Rui took a deep breath, but with his current strength, protecting this kingdom was a joke. He had to grow stronger quickly.

"Huh?!" After Su Rui snapped out of his emotional immersion in the story, he realized he had missed several system notifications, so he quickly scrolled back.

"You have become Marshal Francis Salo's adopted son! You have inherited the glorious Salo name!"

Su Rui hurriedly checked his character attributes, and sure enough, his name had changed from simply "It's Me" to "It's Me Salo"!

"As Marshal Salo's sole heir, you have inherited Marshal Salo's title—Count!"

Marshal Salo, a veteran of several dynasties, had countless military achievements and should not have been just an earl. However, he was too noble and virtuous. After retiring to his hometown, he not only wanted to resign from all his positions, but also to resign from the marquisate he had earned with his life. However, the king appreciated his hard work and great achievements and ultimately forced him to retain the title of earl.

Now that Marshal Salo is dead, he has no heirs other than his adopted son Su Rui. So the title of Earl naturally falls to Su Rui, but he has not yet met the King and has not yet received the formal investiture.

"The reputation between you and the Moraka Brotherhood has dropped from hostile to mortal enemy!"

"Your reputation with several NPCs, including XXXX, has been reduced to the level of blood feud!"

……

Aside from the two system notifications mentioned above that indicated the benefits Su Rui had gained, the remaining fifty or sixty system notifications were all about the decrease in reputation between Su Rui and various NPCs. Some of these NPCs had become blood enemies or mortal foe to Su Rui, but in any case, it was almost impossible to recover their reputation through reputation.

Clearly, Su Rui has inherited all of Marshal Salo's enemies. In addition to these NPCs, some other NPCs will also have their reputations reduced to below hostile after learning that Su Rui is Marshal Salo's adopted son.

"His Majesty the King has arrived!" Just as Su Rui was checking these system notifications, a sharp voice announced that the King had entered the military hall.

Su Rui raised his head and looked towards the entrance of the hall. He saw that among the group of people who had come, there were two people, one older and one younger. The older one looked to be in his thirties, and the younger one looked to be about thirteen or fourteen years old.

King Anselm

Regent of Bagldu

Health Points: ?

Su Rui, relying on his privilege as a player, could immediately see the other party's name and identity. The thirteen or fourteen-year-old child was the king, but because of his young age, he wasn't even a BOSS, just a level 30 elite.

But the regent beside him was different; he was an 85-level boss, on par with the Lord of Daryl!

"Where is the teacher?" the little king asked as soon as he entered.

“Your Majesty, Marquis Valens is a member of the Moraka Brotherhood. He fled after wounding Grand Marshal Salo!” an officer stepped forward to report.

"Teacher? The Moraka Brotherhood? How is that possible?!" The young king was completely dumbfounded.

“Your Majesty, it’s absolutely true! We all saw it with our own eyes; he used dark magic!” The soldiers and the officials who witnessed it testified one after another.

"What about Marshal Nasalo?" Regent Bagher patted the young king on the shoulder and then asked.

"The Grand Marshal has succumbed to his injuries... he has already..." the officer said, choking back tears.

"What?! The Grand Marshal is dead?!" Bagher was stunned.
