Chapter 204 Friend Nick
The aristocracy system has existed in the West for many years. Those aristocrats may have been ruffians and scoundrels, but they were also the bravest group of people.

They raised money, risked their lives to explore unknown lands, plundered wealth, killed dissidents, and gained more resources and land for their country, thereby gaining their noble status.

While enjoying great respect, they also often need to be at the forefront in times of war, leading the battle and mobilizing momentum.

In the chaos of fighting, strong war horses and sophisticated armor cannot completely guarantee their safety.

But showing off their power is their job, or in other words, apart from demonstrating their majesty to the outside world, the nobles do not need to care about other things.

As time passed, the nobles who enjoyed luxury were no longer brave, and their external majesty gradually turned into internal majesty, so they naturally lost the value of their existence.

Of course, these are some situations related to Mu Hua’s previous life.

But in today's world, those nobles are largely not much different from Mu Hua's previous life.

In the dark ages when the Federation was ravaged by monsters, the nobles were the leaders of humanity. They needed to make people realize that even poor and weak humans could fight against monsters.

In that era, the mortality rate of the nobility was actually quite high.

As the monsters retreated from the human world and the courtyard came into being, the nobles here began to live a luxurious life of being butlers when they had work to do and butlers when they had nothing to do.

Then the nobility fell from power. . .

The reason why the aristocracy system has not disappeared is that some nobles have retained the structure of their ancestors' knights. They have connections and reputation, a duty to protect, and a certain symbolic significance. And among those powerful adventurers, there are actually many who have noble blood.

When it comes to fighting monsters, the strategy team has, to a certain extent, taken over the original nobles' role in leading the people.

But let alone the strategy group, even for the heroes, if a strong adventurer extends an olive branch to them, most of them will throw themselves into the world of adventurers without hesitation.

This is a bit funny.

So, what is the greatest meaning of a hero's existence?

Raiders of the courtyard? Don't make a fuss...

Isn’t it just to make the settlers who tighten the screws think that we are awesome too? Isn’t it just to enable the settlers to have stable offspring and live and work in peace?

You've thrown yourself directly into the arms of an adventurer. What does this mean?
Especially the problem of reproduction. Cloning and test tubes can produce reproductive degradation, but they cannot produce magical adaptability. If the settlers don't give birth, do you still expect the adventurers to give birth?

Compared to passing on the family line and having and raising children, adventurers would probably be more willing to think about their own life transition and invest resources in themselves.

Even if there are adventurers who take it as their responsibility to continue their family line, you will see whether there are more births or deaths. . .

So, heroes can be used within a region, but not for big things. It's fine to shoot some videos and movies about fighting, love, picking up artifacts, and saving saints when lost.

When we really encounter a more formal and large-scale occasion, we still need some people who can represent the residents to appear.

At this time, the nobles who owned territories and enjoyed tax benefits were pushed to the front as if no one else was around.

But there is a small problem here, that is, the nobles have been stripped of their power, and now they are not concerned about such matters.

In the end, when the situation required negotiations with the Lord of the Courtyard, and when the residents needed to be shown that powerful adventurers should also respect them, bureaucrats like Nick who were more inclined towards the Democratic Party were pushed to the front.

"You said that this Star Patrol Conference was initiated by Odysseus?"

In the clothing store, Nick changed into a decent set of clothes. When Mu Hua took out the bill, he asked Nick.

"It wasn't initiated, it just happened that his proposal passed the review." Nick corrected.

The clothing stores in the Fiona community naturally wouldn't sell any unknown brands or high-end clothing that had no defensive function at all but were extremely expensive.

Nick almost ran away from home naked, without even taking a space prop.

It’s not that Mu Hua cannot afford such luxury brands now, but it’s okay for Nick to be a big spender. As for himself, it’s obvious that he hasn’t formed this consumption concept yet.

"Of course, Odysseus is still very powerful. I didn't expect Webster to give you the position of Inspector General." The two left the clothing store, and Nick explored curiously.

"Webster is quite arrogant. What's wrong with him? He actually used Odysseus's team to make trouble for you. Does Odysseus have any objection?"

"Some small issues, maybe we are more compatible." Mu Hua did not say it explicitly. Nick seemed to be thinking about it, but did not ask any more questions.

"The scale of this star patrol meeting may be quite large. I heard that Daryl's deep-sea fleet has been invited."

"Since you are the supervisor of the Odysseus team, it seems that you have to attend as well. Let's take care of each other as brothers. I hope the master of the courtyard of 375 can behave better." Nick patted Mu Hua's shoulder, his tone sounding like a pair of brothers in distress.

The Star Patrol Conference is not a small fight, it is a negotiation between humans and monsters, and usually a new courtyard will go through this process. It is called a meeting, but in fact it is also a demonstration by humans against monsters, showing that humans have the ability to overturn the table through a display of strength.

This will force the Lord of the Courtyard to make more concessions and restrain some powerful monsters so that they cannot ambush and kill humans at will.

This kind of demonstration usually requires coordination among multiple parties. After all, humans’ high-end combat capabilities are limited, and it is impossible to take care of every courtyard.

The 375 courtyard in Bear Pig Town has appeared for two or three years, but it has never been approved by the Star Patrol Conference.

Even though it was a proposal, Mu Hua didn't expect that Odysseus could actually organize something of this level.

"I just heard about the Star Patrol Conference from a goblin general yesterday, and today you tell me that I need to attend it too?" Mu Hua protested, slapping away Nick's arm that was on his shoulder.

"Heh, you dare to provoke the Goblin General? Don't worry, since the other party has agreed to negotiate with humans, at most they will make some prank-like provocations. If a war breaks out, there will generally not be monsters at the level of Demon Generals." Nick said with a smile, not taking the so-called Star Patrol Conference too seriously.

"But..." Nick changed the subject and looked at Mu Hua strangely.

"Just now I saw you staring at the shopping guide with shining eyes. Are you sure Debbie didn't cast any curse on you?" Nick asked Mu Hua.

"The curse has no effect on me." Mu Hua shook his head. Tuesday was squatting in his body. He was a spirit of curse. If a curse was really cast on him, it would be eaten by Tuesday.

However, as Nick asked, Mu Hua looked Nick up and down thoughtfully.

He needed to find some young ladies to study body art, and Nick in front of him seemed to be the right size and length, so he should be more familiar with this aspect.

"Nick? Do you know how many girls there are there? The kind that are more open-minded." Mu Hua asked implicitly.

"Hmm? Of course. Do you need Uncle Nick to take you to see the adult world?" Nick raised his eyebrows and teased Mu Hua in surprise.

"Well, I mean a place with more people, higher quality and more privacy," Mu Hua added.

"A lot? How much do you want? Or, can we have a party? I have a villa on the East Coast, how about we go there?" It was rare for Mu Hua to express this kind of demand, and Nick was quite interested.

"Well, I need to study the bodies of some girls. It would be best to find some that I can examine closely. Well, maybe I need to look at more of them, the kind that can take off all their clothes..." Mu Hua explained with a dry cough.

"Huh? You...?" Nick was surprised.

"Hey, buddy, are you in any health problem?" Nick asked carefully, looking Mu Hua up and down with a strange expression.

"No, well, I'm studying magical life and I'm going to try to create some. I need to know more about the girls' body shapes." Mu Hua was discouraged. He had no good excuse for this matter, so he simply explained it to Nick.

"Ha! Magical life? Mu, there's nothing wrong with liking dolls. Many people like them."

"Don't worry, I won't discriminate against you in this regard. Researching magical life? Hahaha." After a brief surprise, Nick laughed jokingly.

Don't think that Mu Hua casually calls the "magical life", but it is an existence that even demons recognize as a living being.

Even in this world, magical life is very advanced, and Nick doesn't believe that Mu Hua can create magical life.

He just thought that Mu Hua wanted to create a bionic puppet that suited his wishes, or at most find a workshop to customize a magical life form.

Many men dreamed of this kind of existence when they were young, but most of them gave up because they were concerned about the opinions of people around them.

Nick didn't expect Mu Hua to be so fresh. While chatting and laughing, he saw Mu Hua's serious face and Nick's expression became hesitant again.

"Mu, you can't do this. I don't want people to think there's something wrong with me."

"How about I introduce you to a pimp and you can communicate with the girls yourself." Nick resisted, thinking that a group of girls would secretly laugh at his physical and mental health problems.

"Stop talking nonsense and let's go to your villa. Now, contact someone. I'll pay." Mu Hua grabbed Nick who wanted to dodge, with an attitude of being rich and willful.

Studying body art is a good thing, but if you are too eager for quick success, you are a bit like a pervert...

Mu Hua was also a little hesitant in this regard, and with Nick accompanying him, how could Mu Hua let him get away?

Well, the girls this guy usually comes into contact with are of pretty high quality. It’s better to have him help find someone than to look around blindly on my own.

This money Muhua doesn’t feel bad about spending. At most he can just cover his face. Nick can have fun however he wants. He will just watch...

Well, take a closer look...
