Chapter 87: Chapter 87 Fairy’s Evolution Tide

"Your Highness Noah, my journey this time is to investigate the Earl of Anglu’s family and examine their loyalty to the Augustus family..."

The Great Fairy Elfino softly explained to Noah her reasons and purpose for this outing.

The two Great Fairies remaining at the Duke Mansion hurried over to pay their respects as Elfino explained. They, understanding Noah’s uncertainties, joined in providing explanations.

Noah patiently listened to the fairies’ descriptions, nodding thoughtfully. He now understood why the fairies could receive such privileged treatment and why the Great Fairies had such extravagant prestige when traveling.

Because compared to the time when Tidel requested him to co-govern, the fairies that stayed at the Duke Mansion, during his deep sleep period, were given more daring roles by his adoptive mother.

During Noah’s governance, the fairies’ activities were confined to the Duke Mansion, where they focused on tasks related to documentation.

Even though the Great Fairies’ decisions, given temporary authority, could impact millions’ livelihoods, this power was not visible without leaving the Duke Mansion.

However, when Noah returned to the mountain and entered his deep sleep, the situation for the fairies changed dramatically, and they were no longer restricted to the Duke Mansion.

The Little Fairies expanded their activities to the entire Elisium City, conveying orders and will from the highest decision-makers to city officials and visiting nobles, thus manifesting their authority.

However, compared to the Little Fairies, the changes for the Great Fairies were even more significant, with their activities extending throughout the Augustus family’s domain.

Any Great Fairy appearing outside Elisium City represented the will of the Augustus family and even the Duke and Duchess’s decisions.

For this reason, the Great Fairies could wear a complete set of magic clothes that even a giant dragon would covet, because they represented more than just themselves.

All this sounded promising and appeared quite splendid. However, after understanding what the Great Fairies had to do during their outings, Noah knew the role they played in the Augustus family administration.

Enforcers!

There is no more accurate description than this.

They inspect and combat all illegal activities within the domain, whether it’s well-known adventurer groups or alien races already serving the family, or even vassal nobles.

The fairies enforce strict governance, uphold the Augustus family’s order, and fiercely combat any actions that could destabilize their governance.

Listening to the fairies’ increasingly pleased recount, Noah roughly summarized what they did during his deep sleep period.

Just among the nobles, they executed at least three Earls, seven Viscounts, and countless Barons and Knights, reducing or stripping the titles of many more.

These were all real power-holding nobles with feuds because this was a borderland. But even so, under the Great Fairies’ scepter, these nobles lost everything.

It’s worth mentioning that those executed — the three Earls and many of the Viscounts — had their family territories at the border long before Noah’s adoptive father ascended to legend.

Yet now, these established pioneering nobles have been cruelly crushed by the fairies, with no regard for face or repercussions.

"You now even have a Guardian Knight Order belonging to you? Hmm, that’s deserved."

After understanding the basic situation, Noah was not amazed by the status and power the fairies held. They deserved such treatment.

From a relatively neutral standpoint, Noah felt these fairies were somewhat shortchanged, and his adoptive mother should reward them with more benefits.

Too ruthless!

This was Noah’s current sentiment, regarding both internal and external matters.

Only the inexperienced and naive fairies dared to do such things; some slightly more astute officials might not have the courage to execute actions like stripping nobles of their titles.

Border families who carved out their place with blood and blade would relentlessly oppose the Augustus family after losing everything, targeting the enforcers.

"You did well!"

Though his fairy servants became enforcers, Noah could not criticize this because his current interests were tightly bound to the Augustus family.

"However, if any of you feel tired, exhausted, and no longer wish to handle matters of the Duke Mansion, you may return to me. No one will hold you accountable, and you can relieve yourselves of the burdens at any time."

Noah did not force the fairies; instead, he offered them a new choice. They could decide freely whether to continue their duties at the Duke Mansion or return to him and serve him again.

"Your Highness, I have waited for a year, and it is an honor to continue serving you."

The blue butterfly Great Fairy Sifreya immediately expressed her willingness, followed by the last ascended Great Fairy, Lu Tixiya,

"To serve by your side is my greatest wish."

"Do not rush to make a decision, just follow your heart. You can choose at any time."

Seeing the hesitation in Great Fairy Elfino’s expression, Noah showed his generosity.

He had not signed a strictly binding contract with the fairies; their allegiance was voluntary, as was his favor.

Thus, Noah took two Great Fairies and some Little Fairies from the Duke Mansion, leaving one Great Fairy and more Little Fairies behind.

The allure of power is incredibly enticing to intelligent creatures, especially to small magical creatures who spend most of their lives hiding.

The rare chance to stand proudly before other wise beings was precious to the fairies, so many Little Fairies couldn’t let go after experiencing it.

Noah understood this behavior without harboring any resentment. To him, it didn’t matter what choices they made.

He didn’t care!

However, those fairies who chose to continue serving Noah soon experienced an enormous surprise after staying by the Golden Dragon for just a few days.

Evolution

Whether it was enough accumulation or simply a certain aura from the Golden Dragon, within less than half a month, Little Fairies evolved one after another, ascending to Great Fairies, with even cases of synchronous evolution appearing.
