Raphael being so vague and mysterious like this made all three of them more and more curious. No matter how they thought about it, they couldn’t guess what he was planning.

“Can you give us a little hint? I’ll give you a holy herb.”

The rich really do things beyond imagination. Just for asking a question, Iris was offering a treasure like a holy herb as a gift.

Of course, Raphael wouldn’t be tempted that easily. Right now, he had no need to use a holy herb. Besides, he still had one holy herb on him that he hadn’t used yet.

“You keep it and use it yourself. If I tell you, the effect will be less. Just let things happen naturally. Who knows, maybe you all will have a talented person to help you soon.”

He clearly wasn’t being specific, but he did give the three of them a little hint. Soon, they would definitely have a chance to meet a person. Being highly regarded by someone like Raphael meant the other party must truly be talented.

Thinking about this area, those people aren’t the type with huge power like Raphael. So that means their knowledge or expertise in some field is very good.

The three of them exchanged glances and nodded, understanding each other silently. It was only at times like this that you’d see Iris and Michael being serious would make them seem much smarter.

“So now we just wait for that knight guy or whatever? Feels like a waste of time like this.”

Although Michael was complaining, the smirk at the corner of his mouth betrayed his words. Getting a few weeks of rest… no, even just a few days was an incredibly luxurious thing for him after all these years.

Iris was like a machine that never got tired, or maybe it’s that dragons just have abnormal nerves. Every few days she’d find him to fight, and after fighting him, she’d sometimes still find Leo to fight.

She fought so much that over the past six years, the number of practice spars between Leo and Michael was pathetically low. If it weren’t for occasional team training sessions between the three of them, the number would be even smaller.

The things Iris had done over the past few years could be counted on one hand. Besides eating, sleeping, and fighting, she also… made dresses and jewelry.

Michael was initially stunned by this behavior of hers. He didn’t understand how someone as violent as her could sit still for hours doing things like sewing or carving.

Although she used quite a bit of force, you couldn’t forget that her control was extremely good. This could be seen as a type of training, and at the same time, it was her playing with her precious materials.

Before, she really didn’t do these things because, well, a dragon was just too big for this kind of stuff. Now that her size was much smaller, she could use shiny things in more ways.

Of course, she also wasn’t afraid of her clothes getting damaged or gemstones falling off. Because when she transforms, she has her own outfit like Michael’s Master Chef state or Leo’s Big Panda state.

“Wait a minute, Iris wearing that kind of outfit out on the streets isn’t a problem?”

Suddenly remembering her habit of wearing clothes as bright as a moving light bulb, Michael couldn’t help but worry.

If she wore that out on the streets, they’d probably be stared at by dozens of greedy eyes every moment.

It wasn’t that they were scared, but it would be extremely troublesome. Although Michael liked to show off, he didn’t show off to that extent.

“You want me to change into clothes as shabby as yours? Don’t even think about it. A genie, yet afraid to wear genie clothes, always using those rags. I’m not a coward like you.”

A vein bulged on Iris’s forehead when she heard Michael’s ‘nonsensical’ suggestion. Her pride didn’t allow her to wear worthless things while she had a whole wardrobe of luxury dresses.

“From what I know, only clothes like these are worthy of someone with the status of a human noble. Making me wear those lowly outfits is an insult to me!”

She continued yelling right in Michael’s ear, making him feel like his eardrums were about to burst.

One of her important traits was that she wasn’t afraid of death. So using the reason that it would be dangerous for her was completely useless.

Raphael and Leo, who were originally uninvolved, also got dragged into the insult. If those clothes were rags, then what were the two of them?

In times like this, only someone who understood the social situation well, like Raphael, could speak up and have their words be persuasive enough.

“Actually, it’s not a big problem. If she only had a few pieces of jewelry like gold rings or small gemstones, there’s a good chance they’d get stolen. But with her dressing this flashy, no one will dare have any bad intentions.”

All three of them were stunned by Raphael’s way of putting it. Even Iris herself couldn’t understand.

“You kidding me?”

Michael, with his modern knowledge, felt like Raphael was talking nonsense. Were thieves only after a little money and turned their noses up at a lot?

“No. It’s that you guys don’t understand how huge the status of the noble class is on this continent. Being able to wear clothes as extravagant as hers, in other people’s eyes, even if she’s not a high-ranking noble herself, she’s directly connected to one. If someone dares to touch her, all the nearby nobles will kill them…”

He paused for a moment, another special exception popping into his head.

“Although the chances are very low, if you run into people from that old man Gabriel’s faction, it’s not certain your stuff won’t get stolen.”

“See? My style was completely correct.”

Iris’s face lit up with pride after seeing that Raphael didn’t object to her style of dress.

But Michael was preoccupied with the matter of nobility and paid no attention to her.

“Raphael, if you went and served the empire now, wouldn’t you become a noble? Even if it’s not the highest rank, they’d probably still accept you, right?”

Michael knew a saying like this: “There are no eternal enemies, only eternal interests.”

So he was sure that even if Gabriel had committed crimes, it wouldn’t go as far as completely blocking Raphael’s path to nobility.

“This matter isn’t as simple as you think.”

Raphael immediately shook his head. Although he had never intended to return to being a noble, he knew that his current status was so bad that no amount of strength could save it.
