The roar of the train gradually increased, and after reaching the maximum value, it quickly weakened. When the roar of the train completely disappeared, the next second, the long-closed hatch on the right side opened by itself, revealing the darkness outside.
Barla!
The opening of the car door means that the mission has begun. Regardless of whether the executor is willing or not, they must get out of the car as soon as possible, otherwise everyone will only be ruthlessly wiped out.
The train stopped, the door opened, and there was still darkness outside. This darkness was so absolute that even if the executioner used a flashlight or wore night vision goggles, it would be impossible to see the outside world clearly. According to past practice, waiting for the court to
Several newcomers shared some precautions
Later, Ye Wei took the lead to get off the train, followed by the others. Soon, her vision fell into the familiar darkness. Fortunately, Ye Wei had explained before. Although the newcomers were mostly panicked when they got off the train, they were able to stay calm for a while. After that,
It took about a minute for everyone's vision to gradually return to clarity.
Sure enough, as soon as the vision became clear, all the seniors, except for the nervous ones, immediately turned their attention to the surroundings and began to observe the environment. As for the four newcomers, they turned back as expected, looking back for the person who had disappeared without knowing when.
It’s a pity that they are destined to not get the result. After all, even experienced people still can’t figure out how the train disappeared.
Closer to home, after observing for a while, everyone found that they were currently in a broad plain. The place was open and the environment was clear at a glance. The surrounding scenery was very beautiful. The blue sky, white clouds and fresh air gave people a sense of natural beauty. However, unfortunately
Yes, no matter how beautiful the scenery is, no matter how beautiful the environment is, it has nothing to do with them as executors, because... as the observation continues, in addition to being able to determine the location of everyone's environment, the line of sight is directly ahead, several hundred meters away.
Outside...
There is also a large European-style manor that is completely different from the modern architectural style.
Since the current location of everyone is considered to be a plain and high slope, they can easily see the situation of the manor clearly even though they are not far away. Looking around, the first thing that catches the eye is a thick wall that surrounds the entire manor.
The fence is made up of long white columns connected to a large number of vertical iron bars. The iron gate in the middle seems to be engraved with multiple patterns as a symbol.
The decoration makes the entrance of the manor quite artistic. Looking beyond the wall, there is a beautiful stone brick road. The road winds and extends to the central building on the road. There are many lush plants and flowers planted on both sides. It can even be said that besides
Except for the surrounding buildings and the middle road, most of the ground in the manor is almost covered with flowers and plants.
Of course, this is not the most important thing. The line of sight continues to stretch along the road until it is fixed at the front and the center of the entire manor. A tall European-style building immediately appears in the field of vision. In order to match the surrounding environment, the front of the building
There are also many artistic sculptures and flower gardens on the left and right. It is obvious that this building is undoubtedly the core of the manor. Anyone with a little common sense knows that it is where the owner of the manor and his family live.
Yes, this is the British Empire in the early to mid-17th century in 1643 AD, and the mission ahead is most likely the location... Halton Manor.
At the same time, Halton Manor is also mentioned in the mission information as the Marquis Mel's Mansion. There is no doubt that this is a noble mansion in the late Middle Ages.
Observing this place, he may have been attracted by the beautiful environment and artistic atmosphere. He Fei, who was standing on the left side of Ye Wei, did not think about the task first as before. Instead, he couldn't help but praise: "It's very beautiful, no matter the scenery."
As for the architecture, the location of this manor is also very good from a geographical point of view. It feels like a paradise far away from the town. It seems that no matter in ancient times or modern times, rich Westerners always enjoy life."
The college student spoke out with emotion. He thought he would be echoed by others. Unexpectedly, as soon as he finished speaking, Cheng Ying, who had been silent next to him, jumped out at an inappropriate time and poured cold water on the young man. First, he glanced at He Fei with a country bumpkin look.
Then he shook his head and argued seriously:
"Hey, hey, you are really thinking too much. Don't forget that the era we are in this time is not the modern mission world similar to the real world in the past. This is Europe in the 17th century. Do you really think that this large luxury manor is
Is it possible to live just because you have money?”
He Fei couldn't help but hesitate after hearing this, and immediately turned to Cheng Ying with a puzzled tone and asked: "Huh? What do you mean? Am I right?"
Similar to Peng Hu, the young man also gave full play to his good spirit of asking questions when he didn't understand. Unfortunately, what he got in exchange was still Cheng Ying's disdainful look. However, the disdain turned into contempt. Cheng Ying did not say anything because she was always observing Ye Ye in the manor.
Wei spoke, and then she said something that surprised most of the people present who didn’t know anything about the ancient West:
"He Fei, Cheng Ying is right in your argument. Things are not as simple as you think. Putting aside modern Europe, Europe in the 17th century was at the end of the Middle Ages. No matter which country it was, it was basically ruled by an aristocratic system for a long time. This
This is very different from the ancient imperial examination and official selection system of our country Z. Therefore, for a long time, European countries have no matter whether they are military or civilian.
The political capital has always been in the hands of the nobles. In addition, unlike ancient Z country civilians who could advance through the imperial examination, it was difficult for civilians in ancient European countries to get ahead unless they made special or significant contributions to the country.
You can be promoted to a noble by being ennobled, otherwise you will always be a commoner. This involves institutional issues, and it is not just about having money that you can do whatever you want."
"Not only that, European kings have also established a sound system of noble titles. Generally, most noble titles are hereditary. Putting aside the royal family, the king or queen will reward those who have made contributions to the country with titles.
Promotion, generally speaking, noble titles are divided into five levels: Duke, Marquis, Earl, Viscount, and Baron. Except for the fact that most of the Dukes are held by relatives of the emperor, the Marquis is already the top that ordinary nobles can be promoted to. The title does not represent
Official position is not only a symbol of noble status, but also a symbol of the status of the person being canonized in this country. Of course, with the title, you also have the right to obtain an official position. The monarch will often reward the person with land according to the title of the person.
, residences, slaves, etc., and sometimes they are even appointed to official positions to rule the people. This luxurious manor in front of us... is probably the residence given to the Marquis of Mel by the British monarch."
After finishing these words, after a pause, Ye Wei immediately turned her gaze back to He Fei and continued to explain: "You can understand that ancient European nobles were often rich people, but rich people are not necessarily nobles, even if you
No matter how rich you are, civilians are still not allowed to live in houses exceeding a certain size, and the manor we are about to enter is a typical aristocratic mansion."
Ye Wei is indeed a person who has seen the world, and his historical knowledge is equally profound. As expected, as soon as the other party finished speaking, He Fei, who realized that he had made a big joke unintentionally, couldn't help but blush. In order to find a way for himself, his eyes flashed.
He turned around and said with an awkward smile: "Ah, haha, Sister Ye Wei is indeed a master's student, she knows a lot."
In fact, this is not to blame He Fei for making a joke. Unlike Ye Wei, who has been in the upper class society for a long time in the real world, He Fei is just an ordinary college student. He has never been to other provinces a few times, not to mention that he has been abroad, not to mention that he is in school.
The subject he studied during this period was not the history department, so the embarrassment was understandable. It can even be said that except for Cheng Ying and Ye Wei, most of the executors around him initially held the same views as He Fei, but He Fei unintentionally
It just serves as a pathfinder for everyone.
Perhaps for fear of making a joke, He Fei chose to shut up after saying these words. However, Zhao Ping, who seemed to have ignored the scenery from beginning to end and was instead thinking about something about it, instinctively took action and helped him.
Wearing glasses on the bridge of his nose, he walked to Ye Wei's side, then stared at Ye Wei while narrowing his eyes slightly and asked him a key question: "The mission information has mentioned that in order to facilitate the execution of the mission, we will be blocked after entering the mission.
It shouldn’t be a problem to be given status and move into the manor, right?”
The man with glasses was a little worried in his words, but Ye Wei, who had actually experienced the identity assignment mission, nodded affirmatively and replied: "Well, no problem. Although it is rare for executors to be assigned a specific identity in the mission world, it does not mean that it is rare.
No, for example, when I first entered the cursed space, my first mission happened to be an identity-conferring mission. Curses don’t lie, so there is no problem with identity. As long as you are given an identity by a mission in a mission world, then
Your identity will never change in the eyes of people in this world."
Having said this was enough to put Zhao Ping and others at ease. Then, Xu suddenly remembered something. After answering the question, the beautiful female captain once again added to the people around her: "By the way, sometimes, when the executor is given
After a specific identity is established, there are often some additional items on the body, such as things that can prove the identity of the executor."
Hmm? Proof of identity?
Let's not talk about the reaction of the newcomer who performed the supernatural mission for the first time. As soon as Ye Wei said this, not only Zhao Ping, who asked the question, hesitated slightly, but He Fei, Cheng Ying and Peng Hu who were standing aside all looked shocked.
Especially Cheng Ying, as a professional killer whose historical level and knowledge are not inferior to Ye Wei, she just finished listening to
As the other party spoke, he subconsciously reached for his pocket. The next moment, he actually took out a small item from his pocket under the gaze of others around him and even himself, which was quite surprising. It was something that he and everyone else had never seen before.
Something that could never appear before, or something that appeared in my pocket for no apparent reason at any time...
It was a rectangular bronze medal made of brass. It was not large in size. On the front, there was a vertical row of ancient traditional Chinese characters that were obviously different from modern Chinese characters. Although it was ancient Chinese, everyone could still see what was written on the bronze medal at a glance.
What is:
One hundred households in Fusi, North Town of Ming Dynasty.
