The Newbie Is Too Strong's
111. Luca Obtained the title of Count from the Emperor?
“Umu, so so. I-i understand. Luca, then from today on I set you as imperial noble with the title count.”
Luca was seen gawking about the sudden slurping of the female emperor.
Luca originally came to the empire to explain the mission of the stabilizing exam he received from the system that said he had to be the emperor's loyal servant, hoping that the emperor would be willing to forge a temporary conditional cooperation pact with the assassin guild until the implementation of his mission was completed.
During that period of time, the empire would also be helped by obtaining voluntary manpower in carrying out missions such as the extermination of monsters or the assassination of imperial traitors.
But what the emperor said was completely beyond Luca's common sense.
“But Brother Emperor, how could Brother Emperor easily raise an ordinary folk without the origin of nobility like me to be a nobleman without adequate achievements and moreover not a baron, but a count?”
“Umu, that's right. Then let's just set a name that will be the origin of your nobility now. What about Auralia? Count Luca Auralia, seems pretty good, doesn't it?”
However, it seems that the emperor did not understand the essence of Luca's worries at all.
“What are we talking about now is the name of nobility? After all Brother Emperor, I already have a last name, I am Luca Dewantara, a Devantara, a name I inherited from my father.”
“I don't know about that. You mean your soul essence doesn't seem to be imprinted with that name?”
“That's because now I'm a player who zxxxxxx”
Again in the crucial moments when Luca wanted to explain the concept of the name in the making of his avatar character who is different from his figure as an individual with his original body, the system coldly limits his speech.
“Hmm? You said something, Dik Luca?”
Luca could not continue his words about the system that locked his mouth.
After a moment of silence and thought, Luca spoke again,
“But Brother Emperor, I am only afraid that Brother Emperor will receive protests from other nobles if Brother Emperor raises new nobles arbitrarily, especially from a wanderer.”
“Why can you say it? Isn't your feat of preventing the zombie disaster from the Land of Death as well as the rampage of the demon monsters in the capital already quite an achievement? Moreover, an item belonging to the First Emperor that no one had been able to use, had also recognized you as his master. What is less?”
“Actually I wanted to do it a long time ago, but because I was worried about the rules of the wanderers, I held back. But because the rules themselves have given the green light, what else is awaited? If you are worried about the opinions of the other nobles, then do not worry, no longer dare to defy my orders.”
Emperor Cecilia momentarily stopped his words as he combed his gaze down from the left end to the right end of the top of his throne toward the representatives of the imperial nobility who were then in the imperial palace.
Emperor Cecilia then smiled cynically and said, “Will anyone here still dare to oppose my decision?”
“Nothing. No one dared, My Lord!” All the representatives of the nobility simultaneously replied while bowing down in fear before the new emperor who had consolidated his power without any more opposition means that were able to prevent the emperor in achieving his every wish.
“It... It is not just tyranny... Tyranny is not good..” Luca half muttered saying it after speechless with the attitude of the emperor who seemed to not consider the opinions of others.
The emperor breathed his breath.
“That does not mean I am doing this out of my personal desire, but this I am doing taking into account my position as an imperial leader, all for the sake of the empire.”
“Oke.” The emperor suddenly clapped his hands as he rose from his throne.
“Because everything has been decided, starting today, I appointed the wanderer Luca to be the imperial count of Lalania under the name of Count Luca Auralia.” The emperor said loudly to announce the appointment.
Everything was suddenly decided just like that without Luca being able to reject it again.

And Luca's staging test just finished. Plus, he obtained the title with extremely amazingly beneficial effects.
***
I woke up from my sleep today with a bad feeling.
\=\=\=
Name: LUCA/Count Luca Auralia (Lv 25)
Race: Man
Age: 15 years
Gender: Male
Occupation: Assassin
\=\=\=
Unexpectedly, Brother Emperor can grant me such an easy noble title.
Well, but because of the result I passed the staging exam and obtained the degree with cool effect, then let's think positively that this is heading in a good direction.
Sister Nina had also eradicated as many as 62 mountain rat monsters, which means the remaining 38 tail before the exam mission was completed.
So did Raia's sister. Of the 10 matches he participated in colossium yesterday, he won 6 times. That meant 4 more victories left for him to complete his maturation exam mission.
But what worries me is the announcement of the first session match in virtual room A on the board of this second round qualifying match.
...\=\=\= ...
...Team Lost Child – United States – The Last Gardenia...
...Vs...
...Team Shadow Park – Indonesia – The Last Gardenia ...
...\=\=\= ...
Based on what Leo said yesterday,
“Oh, Team Lost Child huh? Yes, their team is the 1st champion in our country. They also use the base game The Last Gardenia made in Indonesia.”
“Eh, but their characters seem more luxurious..”.
“Hahahahaha. Our country is a liberal country that does not give any restrictions to its citizens on what type of games are the national benchmark. That is why various genres of games are featured in our country qualifying round matches. And the greatest and even very far stand out among the rest is their team.”
“But the great one is just a tamer with two twin dragons, right, Brother Leo?”
“No, Luca. Maybe because of the overpowering skill of the tamer, the ability of the other one so looks not prominent, but actually the other four core players also have a very extraordinary ability.”
“A assassin who can blend with shadows with stealth, shadow step, and warp techniques that are beyond imagination, Goruth.”
“A mage ruler of four elements with magic activation output ability that is beyond normal limits, Silua.”
“A alchemist who managed to create synthetically living creatures resembling thorny plants as his pet whose poison is very deadly, Aghena.”
“A swordsmen who can split dimensions, Kalora.”
“And the last and the most overpowering among them, a tamer who is able to rule two twin dragons that have been trusted only as a legend, Ekila.”
At least, that's what Leo's sister said. And I also witnessed with both eyes my own head about the overpowering power of that player named Ecila yesterday. There is no doubt that Brother Leo did not overestimate their abilities at all.
But wait, Ecila?
Wouldn't it be read upside down that her name was Alice? Alice and the Twin Dragon? Did he deliberately take that name as a reference to his character's name or was he an NPC just like me who came out of the game that had a close relationship with the legend of Alice?
No, no, no matter how you think, the first option is the most likely.
But if only, if only there was a chance that the second option actually happened, just thinking about it that there were NPCs other than myself stranded into the real world, it felt a bit strange.
Think positive and don't think.
What matters now is Kak Krimson and his team. I hope they will be fine in front of that overpowering opponent.
