Chapter 433 Obtaining a Title and Rumors
"This isn't my chair. You can sit here if you want, but don't even think about stealing my food."
Broly doesn't mind sharing a table with others, but he is concerned that his food might be stolen by the other person.
"Of course, if you really want to eat some, you can tell me, and I can share some with you."
That's right, stealing food is not allowed, but if the other party asks for it openly, Broly is willing to share some with them.
That's a bit hard to accept.
Do I look like someone who can't afford to eat?
Nataya thought to herself, but said outwardly, "Mr. Broly, I can order my own food."
"I won't eat you."
Broly immediately assured him.
"It's okay to eat it."
"Um?"
"If it's alright, I'll pay for your dinner."
"Are you going to treat me to dinner?"
"It is my honor to have dinner with such a master as you."
Nataya, who looked like a handsome young man, smiled and said this, which greatly increased Broly's liking for her.
Anyone who was willing to treat him to a meal would leave Broly with the impression of being a good person.
"Mr. Broly, have you ever heard of the Elliott family?"
After sitting down opposite her, Nataya asked the question.
"I'm sorry, I'm new here and haven't heard of your family before."
Broly shook his head honestly.
"I don't know, would you like to know?"
"If you want to say something."
When someone treats you to a meal, it's only right to listen to what they have to say.
"Our Elliott family's history can be traced back to the early days of the Kingdom of Dragon Kings, when our ancestors were among the pioneering knights..."
Nataya was a talkative person. She did not recount her family history with the haughty attitude of a nobleman, but rather spoke of the heroic deeds of her ancestors in the tone of a bard telling a knight's tale.
Broly listened with considerable interest; these stories were perfect accompaniments to his meal. But Nataya wasn't telling these stories to entertain Broly; rather, she was proving that the family her surname represented was a noble family with a long and distinguished history.
After recounting her family's glorious history, Nataya Elliott then brought up the idea of recruiting Broly as an advisor to her family.
This idea arose after learning that Broly had completed two S-rank subjugation missions and was suspected of possessing King-level strength.
Her family is currently facing some problems, namely that her father, who possesses Saint-level strength, is ill, which has made many things in the family unstable.
However, if they could find a king-level expert who doesn't have many ties with other nobles in the Wanglong Kingdom to return and take charge, many things in the family would likely be able to stabilize.
What is a family advisor?
Broly asked, somewhat curiously.
"You are the one who will help our family develop. For this, our Elliott family is willing to hire you for 1 King Dragon Kingdom gold coin per month."
This price is not low, because most of the time the family advisor doesn't need to do anything; they just need to be listed as an advisor and receive money every month.
However, Broly would need to return to Viscount Elliot's territory with the Elliot Merchant Guild and stay there during his employment.
If Broly were a native of this world, he might have accepted this high-paying, low-skilled job as a bodyguard and enforcer.
"I'm sorry, I'm not interested in staying in one place for too long."
But Broly wasn't, so he refused.
"The terms are negotiable."
"This isn't about compensation."
"What's the problem?"
"I'm looking for someone."
"A destined partner?"
Nataya had heard about it.
"Um."
Broly nodded.
"Unless the person I'm looking for is located within your family's territory."
"Perhaps there are. There are quite a few beautiful girls in the Elliott family's territory. Mr. Broly, you might be able to come back with us, and I can gather the beautiful girls from the territory for you to see."
"How long will it take to get there?"
"Based on past years, we will likely return to Viscount Elliot's territory in January of next year."
"Excuse me, I'm in a hurry."
Broly has the time to stay in this world, so why would he waste it here?
"All right."
Nataya was somewhat helpless, but not surprised; it was indeed not easy to recruit a King-level expert.
She stopped talking and silently finished her dinner.
After the man finished eating, Broly ordered another table of food.
Feeling the gaze directed at him, Broly turned and asked, "Are you regretting inviting me to dinner?"
"No, I'm just a little surprised by your appetite..."
How can such a small body hold food that is larger than its own body size?
The Saiyan digestive system is a mystery, but Broly did have no problem eating food larger than himself.
Even when he doesn't eat much, his belly doesn't bulge out; it's as if the food has entered an alternate dimension pocket or a terrifying compression and decomposition machine.
"So, you're still willing to pay?"
"Even if you eat all the food in this restaurant, I'll still pay the bill."
"You're a good person, so since you're a good person, I'll tell you something."
Broly acknowledged the noble lady in front of him who was still willing to treat him to a meal despite seeing his large appetite.
"What is it?"
Nataya asked curiously.
"You are about to encounter misfortune."
"Well……"
I'm not kidding you.
Broly emphasized.
"Mr. Broly, you have no idea what misfortune awaits me?"
The words of someone who was suspected to be a King-level expert always carried some weight, so Nataya pressed for more information.
"I don't know about that."
However, Broly gave this answer.
"Ah, you don't know, so how could I possibly be destined for misfortune?"
Nataya's expression turned somewhat strange.
"It was a god called 'Man God' who spoke to me in my dream last night."
Broly said honestly.
"Excuse me for speaking frankly, but I have never heard of a god like a human god."
"But He does exist."
"I am willing to respect your beliefs."
"I don't believe in Him."
Nataya: "..."
The situation in this conversation made her a little nervous.
"After I go to sleep tonight, I can ask the gods about your situation. I'll come to see you again tomorrow morning and tell you about the misfortune that is about to befall you."
"Then I will await your good news, Mr. Broly."
Since things had come to this point, Nataya could only agree and sit to the side, watching Broly finish his dinner and pay the bill before politely parting ways with the Saiyan boy.
That night, after Broly went to sleep, he saw the god again in his dream and actually helped inquire about the other's misfortunes.
"She's not the person you're looking for, why are you asking about her?"
The latest novel is first published here!
"She treated me to dinner, and I want to reciprocate."
"You really are a kind-hearted child."
The gods and men praised it.
"So, do you even know anything about her situation?"
Broly asked.
"Of course, there are few things in this world that I don't know. Her misfortune is quite simple: her brother was planning to send assassins to kill her."
"Huh, why?"
"What else could it be for? Of course, it's for the right to inherit the Elliott family. Her brother is a good-for-nothing noble young master who indulges in debauchery."
Meanwhile, the Viscount Elliot's domain was being coveted by the neighboring Earl's domain. Viscount Elliot believed that handing the family over to his dissolute son would ruin the family's future, so he intended to let his more capable daughter inherit his title and domain.
This angered the good-for-nothing nobleman, who then poisoned his father, forcing someone to take charge of certain family affairs. Miss Nataya Elliott was chosen to represent her father in this business trip.
But she didn't know that her brother wouldn't let her go back alive.
Are things like this common in this world?
"It's not uncommon, but it's relatively rare in the Wanglong Kingdom. The Asura Kingdom's are truly spectacular."
The gods and humans seemed to be talking about some interesting topics, mentioning the power struggles involving patricide and fratricide that were always playing out in the Kingdom of Asura.
"So, the other person was assassinated?"
"No, if it were just an assassination attempt, it wouldn't be considered a tragedy."
Miss Nataya would actually escape the assassination attempt, but she would be captured by a passing slave-catching team on her way back to Viscount Elliot's territory.
After she revealed her true identity to the slave trader, she thought her family would be able to redeem her safely, but she didn't know that her father had already been killed by her brother.
After learning that she was still alive, her brother instructed slave traders to sell her to the rival nobles of the Elliott family.
Miss Nataya was sold for a good price, but afterwards, she spent a miserable life in the prison of the nobleman who bought her.
As he said this, the god wiped away non-existent tears and then secretly glanced at Broly, wanting to see how the Saiyan boy would react.
Did Broly react?
Yes, but not much.
"When will the assassins arrive?"
"Thirteen days later."
Upon learning that the assassin wouldn't arrive for another thirteen days, Broly abandoned his plan to casually help with the minor issue.
Ultimately, if you don't have much of a relationship with the other person, giving them a heads-up is enough; there's no need to waste any more time.
The next day, Broly went to the Adventurers' Guild to retrieve the remaining money from the meet-and-greet he had posted. Then he found Nataya at the Elliott Merchant Guild and told her about her brother poisoning their father and trying to harm her, his sister.
"How could you slander Young Master Elliot like that?!"
The manager of the merchant guild, who overheard his words, immediately glared at him angrily.
"Miss Nataya, you must not believe it. You've been manipulated by outsiders into having a strained relationship with your brother."
Nataya didn't speak, but looked at Broly and asked.
How did you know I was a woman?
"It was a god who told me."
"I'm very sorry, but it's more convenient to be a man when you're out in public."
Nataya removed the ring from her hand, and her Adam's apple disappeared.
The lines and contours of his face suddenly softened.
She transformed from a handsome young boy into a beautiful young woman.
She's not very old; in this world, fifteen is the age of adulthood, so she's only sixteen or seventeen.
"Mr. Broly, can I trust you?"
This is a noble lady who knows how to use her beauty. Her delicate demeanor, which contrasts with her capable appearance, easily arouses men's protective instincts.
"Believe it or not, I've told you what to do. If you don't believe me and then suffer the consequences, that's your own problem. Goodbye!"
Broly was unhappy that he was not trusted for telling the truth, and after saying this, he flew away in a very sigma manner in front of Nataya Elliott.
Broly went to the next city guided by the gods and humans, and simply copied the operations of Kur Town.
They also found the local adventurers' guild and posted a city-wide quest to meet people.
Then, I would accept high-paying quests in the local area that were relatively easy to complete using force, and then go and do those quests.
Unfortunately, after returning from the mission, they still found nothing in the new city.
In the days that followed, Broly repeated this practice.
Whenever he arrives in a new place, he throws around a lot of money and posts bizarre requests to meet people.
Then, accept high-paying raiding missions to earn money.
During this time, he would occasionally go to see the women he had been guided by the gods to meet the criteria he had previously set for a wife.
However, the target of the romance is simply not being encountered.
However, due to his strange behavior, rumors about him began to circulate in the Kingdom of Wanglong.
He is rumored to be known as the "Half-human Sword King".
Of course, this "sword" is not the same as the sword in the story. It refers to the "sword" that he obtained by making various requests to meet people in different places and spending a lot of money.
The "half-man" refers to his appearance, while "king" refers to the fact that he accepted various high-difficulty missions to defeat monsters and completed them with terrifying efficiency, leading everyone to acknowledge that he possessed king-level strength, which was above the saint level.
Because Broly would visit every town in each region to post appointment requests, his schedule was slower than the rumors he was spreading.
The five-copper-coin invitation and the S-rank monster slayer are all stories from the legends of meeting the king.
Of course, the most discussed topic is why he posted the request to meet people.
Although the petition clearly stated that it was to find a destined partner, the vast audience of the Dragon Kingdom did not believe the literal meaning.
Many people believe that there must be a tragic story here that perfectly aligns with the general public's perception.
Sure enough, when Broly had only 55 days left to stay and was having dinner at a tavern in a big city, he heard the bard in the tavern tell his tragic story.
He was born into a small tribe of halflings. He had a childhood sweetheart with whom he got along very well. But fate is unpredictable. A slave-catching team broke into the tribe of halflings and kidnapped his childhood sweetheart, who did not exist, and made her a slave.
Then he worked hard and, after reaching the King level, ventured alone to the Central Continent. He posted a commission to find the halfling girl who had long since disappeared and was destined to be with him.
The story was told with such vivid detail that Broly, who had just heard it, almost took out a silver coin and threw it into the hat of the bard telling the tale.
Rumors are really absurd. Broly recalled the rumors about himself as a bloodthirsty demon when he was sending some of his friends home in the Akame ga Kill! world.
