Baron Bezos spoke in a soft voice.
Such a gentle tone left him feeling a bit flattered.
In Harold's mory, since he reached adulthood, he had rarely seen his father speak to him so tenderly.
"By the way, father..."
"On my way back to Boss Bang, I encountered a group on the road."
"The leader happened to be armored and riding a pig."
"He was leading a team of heavy cavalry. I passed by him but couldn't catch up."
After a brief silence, Harold told Baron Bezos about what he observed on the return journey.
He deeply longed to make ritorious achievents.
Right now is a great opportunity.
If he could catch the person who rescued the Church Saintess.
Then, he could naturally gain recognition in the Giant City.
And also win the favor of Viscount Kunyel.
Furthermore, as the bounty target on the wanted notice, it's also an achievent.
It would raise his fa among the young mbers of the Chebman Clan.
Without a noble title, reputation, or achievents, that's his awkward situation as a noble's second generation.
He's the typical "three-no" youth.
According to the kingdom's tradition, noble succession requires a decline in tier, and Bezos' noble title is that of a Baron.
There wouldn't be any title at all below that.
It's almost impossible for Harold to inherit Boss Bang as a "three-no" youth.
At least the Chebman Clan would not allow such a situation to occur.
Once Baron Bezos rests in peace.
The family would appoint another governor for Boss Bang.
As for Harold, he could only inherit the wealth left by Bezos.
As his father gradually ages.
He must quickly obtain a noble title or certain fa.
The humans in this world are not a long-lived species.
The average lifespan of most commoners ranges from 55 to 65 years.
The lifespan of indulged nobles doesn't go much further.
Overeating, excessive indulgence, erratic schedules, all contribute to affecting lifespan.
For ordinary nobles, generally after 60 years old, they enter the aging period.
Both physical and ntal states will be far inferior.
Reaching the range of 80 to 95 years old is considered longevity.
Of course, this is not absolute.
So nobles with magic talent, and stronger spiritual power.
And those trained to high-tier warrior or knight standards.
Their lifespan will be extended sowhat.
A robust physique and spiritual power can effectively slow the aging of the body.
Mages have an advantage; if they can practice to the level of a Tier Five Advanced Mage.
They can easily live for around 140 to 150 years.
But even after 120 years, they would still enter a severe aging period.
This is why Baron Bezos was so surprised and envious upon knowing that Zong Shen acquired magic talent.
Nobles and mages are the best match.
Their longer lifespan compared to ordinary people allows them to leisurely enjoy worldly splendor.
And watch their rivals die of old age one by one.
For the noble lords, nothing is more delightful than that.
There's a profound saying on Earth, which also applies in this world.
"Where there are people, there are conflicts."
Even among nobles, they have their own friends and foes.
Just like how Baron Bezos always disliked Evans.
Therefore, Harold was extrely eager to capture that mysterious pig rider.
Baron Bezos naturally could feel his son's feelings.
This was also the most troubling part for him.
Fortunately, his mindset was stable, and he didn't let Harold see through any mysterious flaws.
He reached out and patted Harold's shoulder.
"Dear son, I will handle everything."
"I have noticed all your efforts."
"Even if you can't capture this mysterious pig rider, it's okay."
"Not long after, there will be another good opportunity."
Baron Bezos said with a smile, appearing very relaxed.
Hearing this, Harold was slightly stunned.
"Father..."
"The good opportunity you ntioned...?"
Baron Bezos, with a smile, looked up towards the west, in the direction of Lentax Giant City.
Then he slowly began to speak.
"In a little over a month, Lentax Giant City will hold a grand banquet."
"This banquet will be hosted by Governor of the Giant City, the honorable Marquis Henry Lancaster."
"We have also been invited, and about half a month later, we will set off.
"The Marquis's youngest daughter has just co of age..."
When Baron Bezos said this, he deliberately paused before continuing.
"My dear child, use your handsoness and masculinity to capture her heart."
"I will find a way to create opportunities for you."
"Compared to the mysterious pig rider, pursuing marvelous love is better."
"Once you beco the Marquis's son-in-law, what is Boss Bang compared to that."
His words carried a hint of persuasion.
To Harold, Bezos was a father worth respecting.
Words from a beloved father naturally wouldn't make him suspicious.
Under these dual factors, his attention was successfully diverted.
He was already 25 years old this year, still unmarried.
According to the standards of human indigenous people in this world.
Commoners typically start a family between the ages of 16 to 18.
And noble or wealthy offspring usually settle marriage matters around the age of 22.
