?


    As this question lingered in the young man''s mind, Valyr recalled what he knew about noble ns and families, as well as the system that was in y regarding their hierarchy.


    Simr to the nobility title system he was incredibly familiar with, the young man knew that ns and families could separated into three tiers as well, which were noble, royal, and imperial, respectively.


    Just like the nobility title system, noble ns and families were of lesser importancepared to royal ns and families. On the other hand, imperial ns and families reigned at the peak of the hierarchy, obtaining their rank due to their n having a great amount of power amongst their members or their founder achieving a great amount of merit.


    With that, the young man found it odd that the Zeihardt n, which was only considered a royal n, ording to what Aster and Julian had told him, had obtained the attention of almost every organization as the drama between the two factions attempting to find him continued to this very day.


    ''Is it because their might is infinitely close to the imperial ns?'' asked Valyr to himself, finding it a highly likely possibility. After all, any organization would pay attention to the happenings urring within the imperial n, whether it be a minor or a major matter.


    However, what Julian would tell him was definitely beyond his initial expectations.


    "Who told you the Zeihardt n was only a royal n?" With an eyebrow still raised, Julian looked at Valyr with a slight frown.


    "Didn''t you mention on the day before that tournament that the Zeihardt n was a royal n in status and how everyone was paying attention to it because of their might?" Hearing Julian''s question, Valyr answered back with a question, the confusion in his mind slowly building up.


    "Wait…" At the young man''s words, Julian went silent as it seemed like multiple pieces in his mind had finally connected together. "Do you really think the Zeihardt n as a whole is only considered a royal n?"


    "Is it not?" At this point, Valyr gave the man an answer with a tone of slight caution, wondering if what he knew from Aster and Julian were even correct.


    "It''s definitely not just a royal n if almost everyone is paying full attention to it." Julian shook his head, letting out a faint sigh. "If anything, only the Algerie Kingdom branch of the Zeihardt n is considered a royal n."


    "Then again, multiple branches of the Zeihardt n in the other kingdoms have also reached that status."


    "…huh?" Unsurprisingly, Valyr went silent after hearing that, giving Julian the freedom to continue with his exnation.


    "Well, considering your circumstances, it''s not that surprising that you don''t know everything there is to know about the n," said Julian with a slightly bitter smile, briefly looking at Valyr with an expression of pity as he began toy out the entirety of the Zeihardt n to the young man.


    "Though, before I begin my exnation, who told you that the Zeihardt n is only considered a royal n?" asked the man. "Of course, if you don''t want to tell me, that''s fine. Though, if you found the information on a book, you can tell me the title of the book instead."


    "A man from one of the noble ns," replied Valyr, not wanting to be very specific in slight fear of Julian harming them. "He told me back then that the main Zeihardt n was considered a royal n."


    "I see." Going silent for a bit, Julian eventually nodded in response. "I guess he hails from a n that''s not far away from Algerie… or perhaps a n that''s not far away from any of the other Zeihardt n branches I''ve mentioned earlier."


    "In any case, the Zeihardt n''s entire might is not just on the level of a royal n," said the man. "Nor is it on the level of an imperial n either, even though the Zeihardt n situated in the human race''s only empire is considered one."


    "It is on a level far above the imperial ns, being the only n with that kind of ssification in existence." Saying these words, Julian''s expression turned solemn as he gave Valyr time to digest what he had said.


    "Being linked directly to the Zeihardt Sovereignty, the main Zeihardt n boasts a level of strength that could only be ssified as a primordial n."


    Ding!


    [You have gained a piece of information regarding your true identity.]


    Hearing the system respond to Julian''s words, Valyr''s eyes briefly widened in surprise as he opened up the notification screen in his mind. With it, it did not take long for him to put two and two together as he asked the man a question.


    "So… do Ie from this primordial n, then?"


    "But of course." Julian nodded, looking at Valyr as if it were a matter of fact. "It''s exactly because you were born into the primordial n as a Herald that the entire Zeihardt n has split into two factions, with each branch falling under one of them."


    "Keep in mind that Algerie Kingdom''s Zeihardt n branch is on the side of the rebel faction, which is why the Imperial Production Guild has taken a lot of measures the very moment you arrived at the kingdom to make sure that information of you being here doesn''t leak out."


    "Is that so…" Feeling like he had gained more answers and questions from such a short discussion, Valyr went silent for a bit as he looked at the stage before them, seeing that Sirius was moving onto the next item of the auction, being a pair of essories that greatly increased one''s passive health regeneration.


    Mulling over the information he had obtained from Julian, the young man decided to end the conversation regarding the Zeihardt n''s strength then and there, instead shifting it onto another topic that still had something to do with the n yet not at the same time.


    "Say, Julian."


    "What is it?" Looking at Valyr once more, Julian raised his eyebrow in curiosity.


    "Do you perhaps know a person or an organization that could help me collect information on the Zeihardt n?"
