Chapter 1 Wuyao Snake Village
Squeaky!
The horse’s hooves stepped on the road paved with broken charcoal, making a soft sound. The three knights in the group slowly admired the manor bathed in the sun in the distance.
On the crooked roadside sign, there are the words “Black-waisted Snake Manor”.
There is also a line of small words below: “There are black-rumped snakes nearby. They are poisonous. Be careful of being bitten.”
As if worried that someone was illiterate, next to the small characters, a black, coiled snake was drawn with charcoal and a big “×” mark was placed on it.
“Among the 19 manors in the Youguang River Valley, the Black-rumped Snake Manor is considered a large manor. On nearly 20,000 hectares of land, there are 580 households of serfs and about 3,500 people.” On the horse on the left, a middle-aged knight with an unshaven beard and big brown teeth .
Raising his whip, the middle-aged knight said happily: “The Baron has made this manor your fief, which shows how much he values you, Russell.”
“The burden is also heavy.” On the horse in the middle is a young and handsome knight with sword-shaped eyebrows and starry eyes, red lips and white teeth. He is not wearing a knight’s helmet. His light blond hair is particularly smooth. He smiles gently, “Teacher Charles.”
Charles, an unshaven middle-aged knight, smiled and said: “In the lower reaches of the Netherworld Valley, beyond the Black-rumped Snake Manor, there are large underground river caves. The untouchables there are the best moats. You don’t need to worry at all.”
Hear the words.
The knight on the right said in a low voice: “The free people of Xiangshui River Cave are unreliable.”
Charles said casually: “Isn’t there still you? Eric, as Russell’s guard knight, you have the unshirkable responsibility to protect the safety of Black-waisted Snake Manor.”
Eric is about thirty years old and has a standard Chinese character face: “Do your best.”
“Okay, two teachers, the Black-rumped Snake Manor has not been handed over yet. After the handover, it will not be too late to make detailed arrangements.” The young and handsome knight gently kicked the horse’s belly, and sat down on the black horse. He immediately started running on the charcoal road.
Go straight to the Black-rumped Snake Manor ahead.
The wind whistled in my ears.
The weather was still very cold, and there were tiny ice crystals in the air, hitting my face.
However, the rising fighting energy in his body effectively eliminated the power of the cold wind, and his body was still warm no matter how thin his clothes were.
“Grudge!”
Even though he had been feeling it for a full week, Russell still felt incredible about this magical power.
The horse’s hooves are fast.
He was about to arrive at his fiefdom, and the corners of his mouth couldn’t help but curl up.
I secretly admired in my heart: “Romain Rolland said that there is only one kind of true heroism in this world, and that is to still choose to love life after recognizing the truth of life… As a time traveler, I have a deep understanding of my current life… …satisfy.”
Born into a noble family!
His father’s name is Roman, his eldest brother’s name is Roland… He also has a sister named Luo Lin, well, there is also a sister named Laura.
But their family name is not “Luo”.
Their family name is “Luoshu”, an aristocratic surname named after a certain kind of mushroom, which originated from his great-grandfather, the first Baron Netherlight.
His grandfather inherited the title and was the second generation Baron Netherlight.
His father then inherited the title and became the third generation Baron Netherlight.
In his generation, the eldest brother Roland Fluorescent Fungus was ambitious and was ready to inherit the title of Baron Netherlight and the fiefdom of Netherlight Valley at any time.
certainly.
His father, Roman Fluorospora, was in his prime, and he had no plans to pass away for the time being.
Therefore, he, the somewhat useless second son of a baron, could rely on the love of his parents. After his coming-of-age ceremony at the age of sixteen, he was able to be canonized as a lord and own a small fief of his own – nearly 20,000 hectares of black-waisted snake. manor.
It’s said to be a manor, but it’s actually about the same size as Russell’s hometown town on Earth.
It’s just that the population is very small.
“Hush!”
Walking to the entrance of the Black-waisted Snake Manor, you can see a large area of farmland on both sides of the Youguang River. Many serfs are bending down and working in the farmland.
In a place surrounded by farmland, there is a cluster of low-slung bungalows, the highest of which is no more than two stories.
There were faint sounds of cock crows and dogs barking.
Snap, snap.
Horse hooves walked down the road and stepped on the stones by the river.
“Russell, don’t you go in and take a look?” Charles asked, following Russell.
“No need, I just came here to take a look today. After the handover is completed, there will be enough time to take a look,” Russell said.
The coming-of-age ceremony has just passed, and the Black-rumped Snake Manor has not yet been handed over. There are only some serfs and serfs in charge here.
He also needs his parents to recruit followers and servants for him, and give him enough wealth so that he can safely move into the Black-waisted Snake Manor.
“This will be your place of prosperity.” Charles flattered, and then pointed to a large two-story stone house across the Youguang River, “There, the baron’s courtyard can be used as your castle in the future. Don’t want to give me a name first?”
Russell shook his head: “No need.”
It’s just a two-story building. Although it is slightly larger than the rural villa back home on Earth, it has nothing to do with a castle.
How dare you come up with a name.
Seemingly guessing what Russell was thinking, Charles laughed and said: “Don’t underestimate this place. Every noble starts from the rank of Lord. Russell, your starting point is more stable than anyone else. After ten years of hard work and achievements in battle, you may not be able to win.” Cannot be promoted to Baron.”
A slightly dull Eric nodded in agreement: “Indeed.”
Russell responded with a small smile.
Charles suddenly changed the subject and said in a blabbering voice: “Of course, I think the safest progress is actually to win over Mr. Ross. Really, Russell, if you can make a contract with Mr. Ross, maybe the baron will be yours!”
“Stop it, Teacher Charles, don’t say such words again.” The smile on Russell’s face disappeared and he looked at Charles calmly.
Charles suddenly smiled and said, “Ah, this year’s ice age is retreating later than before. At this time in previous years, the water in the Youguang River was already rolling and muddy, but this year it is only a shallow layer.”
The topic was abandoned, and the three of them walked slowly along the river, taking in the general situation of the Black-rumped Snake Manor.
The sun was setting in the west, and Russell turned his horse’s head: “Go back.”
The black horse under the seat rushed onto the road like a sharp arrow, galloping in the direction from which it came.
Charles turned his horse’s head and looked at Russell’s quickly retreating figure. He whispered to Eric beside him: “What I said is a good shortcut, isn’t it? Getting the approval of Mr. Ross is more effective than any military exploits. “
Eric responded in a muffled voice: “This is the Baron’s family matter, Charles.”
After saying that, he rode towards Russell.
“Really… We have already stamped Russell’s seal. Russell’s high position is our high position… Why are you so careless, there is a shortcut but you don’t take it!” Charles muttered a few words to himself, and then quickly caught up with Russell and Eyre. Rick.
And at this moment.
Russell, who was galloping ahead, was not in a calm mood.
This is a bizarre world, a world with extraordinary power: “Snow demons freeze the land…volcanoes breed oasis…knights, fighting spirit…elves, mushrooms, fantasy beasts…the most important thing is dragons!”
The dragon can decide everything! And Mr. Ross is a dragon, belonging to the fluorescent mushroom family!
