TOP SECRET: Adventures in the Dark Continent

Chapter 114: Birthday party

The governor's mansion was lively at night, many people were at the entrance waiting to enter. The guards inspect the invitations and the carriages to see if there was anything wrong before allowing the carriages to enter.

The party mood could be felt in the mansion. Not just in the mansion, but in the entire city.

The inhabitants also held parties in honor of the governor. The streets and buildings were decorated to celebrate.

As Liu Yang only had a common carriage, he preferred to walk the streets to the governor's mansion. When he arrived in front of the mansion, the guards and the other nobles were surprised to see someone walking and not arriving with the carriage.

"Stop. Identify yourself "A guard stopped Liu Yang.

Liu Yang's current appearance was not that of a nobleman, but neither was that of a commoner. He looked like those people who had money but were not rich. That is, he was between the nobility and the commoners.

"Here is my invitation" Liu Yang showed the letter to the guard.

The guard looked at the invitation before returning it to Liu Yang.

"Mr. Berny, I apologize for my previous lack of education. You can enter. The governor will be happy with your visit "The guard gesticulates for Liu Yang to enter. He saw that Liu Yang was a special guest of the governor. 

The guards were ordered to treat a person named Berny with great courtesy. This shows that he had great status.

"No problem" Liu Yang entered the mansion property without any problems under the eyes of the other curious nobles.

None of them understood why the guard left someone who came walking to the governor's birthday party.

"Hey!! Who is that guy? Why was he allowed to enter the mansion? Is his invitation true? " A nobleman asked the guard who let Liu Yang enter the mansion. That question was something that everyone wanted to know.

"Mr. Cheek, that person is called Berny, I don't know his last name. It looks like he's an important guest of the governor" The guard doesn't know much about Liu Yang.

"I see ... So he is the person called Berny, the new noble recognized by the daughter of the Thorps family..." Mr. Cheek murmured.

The city's nobles have already received information about Liu Yang. They were surprised to find that two children from the Thorps family were in town. Besides, the daughter carried a stamp with the power to give titles of nobility. This was a very shocking thing to hear.

It was necessary to know that there was a division between the nobles. The low-level nobles were those who came from small cities, the middle ones were those from the average city and the high-level nobles were from great cities.

This type of division was common and was created to show the difference in wealth and influence of noble families. Each city had different sizes, so the number of people and wealth was very different.

One such example is big cities in low-level territories. The level of people's power was low, but the amount of wealth that the city can earn is very large because of the large number of people.

For comparison, a medium-sized city in a medium-level territory can generate less wealth than a big city in a low-level territory. This is able to show the number of people living in big cities. The difference between the two types was very large.

However, the power of this is only wealth. The fighting power of a small city cannot be compared to the average city.

But it depends on the location, if members of the middle city go to the low-level zone, they will have the powers suppressed. Unfortunately, the opposite is not the case. If someone from the low-level zone goes to a high-level zone, they will not have increased powers.

In general, depending on where the family received the title of nobility, the influence of that family will be greater.

As Liu Yang was a nobleman recognized by the Thorp family and by Gold-Minner City, he had far more influence than the nobles of Silkhall City. Liu Yang did not have wealth or large territories like them, but his background was much bigger than theirs. This gave Liu Yang much more influence than the nobles in Silkhall City.

The Thorp family was one of the wealthiest and most powerful families in the Temore Kingdom. While Gold-Minner City was one of the bigger and richest cities in the kingdom because of gold mining and rare jewelry. These two factors made the city's nobles much richer and more powerful.

(This is a good chance to try to build a good relationship with this person named Berny. He is a nobleman from one of the most powerful cities in the kingdom, and he also has a friendship with the daughter of the head of the family Thorp. This gave him a lot of influence) The nobles were thinking the same thing.

Do not offend Liu Yang and try to build a good relationship with him. If they cannot build a good relationship, they will try to avoid offending Liu Yang.

Liu Yang walked along the side of the road towards the governor's mansion. The property was large with a small dirt road with trees around it and even a fish pond.

As he walked, many nobles passed inside the carriages and looked at him. Some were curious while others were jealous, as Liu Yang managed to become a nobleman with the help of someone much more influential and powerful than them.

Thus, Liu Yang's influence was much greater than theirs. Even though he is a new noble who received the title of noble less than a month ago. This was unfair, but the system created by the nobles has always been this way.

The walk took a few minutes until Liu Yang arrived at the mansion's entrance.

The place was completely lit up with bright, colorful lights. The nobles wore high-quality and luxurious clothes covered in ruffles.

Men wear smoke while women wear long, ornate dresses.

The arrival of Liu Yang caught everyone's attention at the entrance, as he was the only one walking towards the mansion. The other guests were in luxurious and expensive carriages.

Suddenly, a middle-aged man appeared at the entrance to the mansion. His appearance surprised everyone, but the nobles around realized what he was trying to do.

"Good evening, Mr. Berny, I'm glad you accepted the invitation." The middle-aged man who came was the governor. He appeared to welcome Liu Yang personally, this was showing that he was trying to please him a little.

This hidden meaning was noticed by Liu Yang and the surrounding nobles.

"I'm happy with the invitation"

"Let's go in. The party will start shortly. Food and drink are already being served. "The governor invited Liu Yang to enter.

"I thank you for that." Liu Yang followed the governor and entered the mansion.
