Chapter 2 I really don't want to destroy the world,
In order to pursue defense, medieval castles were built with huge rocks, with small windows and poor lighting conditions.
Especially the hall of Fort Sotos, there are many candles lit even during the day.
Aaron stood in the corner, watching his father, eldest brother, and a group of knights arguing fiercely, while looking at the white candles.
'In this world of low productivity, civilians also use candles or oil lamps for lighting. However, the castle uses beeswax candles, which produce very little smoke when burning. However, civilians can only use paraffin candles or animal fat...using too much may cause eye damage.
They'll all be smoked blind.'
As for the disputes between his father and his staff and the conflicts with the territory next door, Aaron knew it very well.
Speaking of which, he really admired the time-travelers in previous life novels, the kind of people who could promote the development of science and technology and even the upgrading of industries by themselves, as if they had encyclopedia-like erudition in their minds.
When I got here, as a liberal arts monk, I could only recall some extremely limited and incomplete information.
Of course, even extremely limited information is extremely precious in this era.
But what can I say, Aaron Sotos really can't get excited.
After all, with the existence of the orthodox heir Colin, Theodore, as a veteran nobleman, could not allow himself to inherit the territory. In order to centralize power, Theodore also rejected any behavior that split the territory.
As the second son of the family, when he grows up, he will at most receive a meager amount of money as a gift, and then he will have to make a living on his own.
Aaron also tried once, and after many failures, he figured out how to make cheap and durable paper, and thus built a papermaking workshop.
Then his nominal father just gave a verbal compliment and ordered the housekeeper to take the workshop into public ownership.
This move immediately made Aaron feel relieved and he understood his situation.
Although the reincarnation technique is good, it is still a bit lacking.
Not only cannibalism is practiced in ancient Eastern ethics, but also in Western rules.
In the territory, the lord's words are law! Any resistance without strength is a joke!
He even needs to be thankful that he is not a commoner or even a serf at the lowest level.
Once, Aaron saw a smart serf boy trying to report the tax official's corruption while Colin was inspecting the farmland.
Then, before the other party could even rush to Colin, he was kicked half to death by the guard because he blocked the noble Lord's way with his dirty body!
As for the content of the shouting, Colin didn't even bother to listen!
Since then, Aaron has become more cautious, or silent.
As for killing Colin, just take over directly?
To be honest, he had thought about this idea, but after weighing the supporters of both parties and their status in Theodore's heart, he gave up this not very attractive idea.
After all, because of his show of weakness, although Colin didn't like him very much and did not directly kill him, allowing him to strike first, he still felt a little uncomfortable.
But just a paper-making workshop is just a reward for living and drinking for so many years.
The conflict between the Sotos family and the Davis family also started because of this workshop.
Because the profits from the papermaking workshop aroused the covetousness of the Davis family, they had sent some spies before. After several discussions between the two clan leaders, they finally signed a peace agreement, which was symbolized by the marriage contract between the direct descendants of both parties.
But now...
"The Davis family is not satisfied with our previous plan and wants more..."
Theodore pulled out the dagger and nailed it to the wooden table, the end still trembling: "We want them to know that they made a huge mistake!"
The men in the hall howled savagely, among them Colin was the most blushing and thick-necked.
Aaron also shouted a few slogans, but his interest was very low.
Theodore didn't know why, but he glanced at the corner: "Aaron, you are sixteen years old and an adult. It's time to go to the battlefield and gain your merits."
"Yes, father." Aaron was silent for a moment and responded calmly.
After all, this is a society where two lords can fight over a wild boar. I am lucky enough to delay going to the battlefield until now.
…
Night falls.
"Despite this, Colin's engagement was annulled, and I have to go to the battlefield for him. It's really unpleasant. The sword and arrow have no eyesight, and I might die... I can't bear to leave my maid at home..."
Aaron was shirtless and waved, letting a beautiful maid with a blush on her face walk out of the room. He looked at the closed door and thought to himself.
Well, entertainment was rare in ancient times, and he was not a gentleman and could not resist the temptation, but he persisted until he was sixteen. According to the gossip among the maids, Colin, that bastard boy, lost his virginity at the age of thirteen. It is really unknown.
What should I say?
At this moment, Aaron felt like he had no desires or desires in his heart. He was like a sage who closed his eyes and fell asleep.
His sleep quality has always been good and he can basically fall asleep with the pillow on his face.
"The world doesn't exist when I close my eyes..."
…
The body was falling, and there was a sudden jolt.
Aaron opened his eyes and saw a blue ocean: "Here again, this dream again!"
As a time traveler, he still has a golden finger. Although he is useless, he will enter this dream as soon as he falls asleep and stay awake, as if he is having a lucid dream.
When he was still a baby, Aaron entered this dream and saw the blue sea.
And he himself was in a very strange state, seeming to be suspended above the sea and without any weight.
He is like a ghost, any object can pass through him, but he has no strength and cannot pick up a particle of dust.
It's like...a pure observer, a prisoner in a fixed position.
Aaron even suspected that this was just a special dream and not a golden finger.
It wasn't until he tried many times later and found that he entered the same dreamland that he finally had to admit that this might not be a dream, but a different world.
"But...why is it located in a sea?"
Aaron was speechless. He almost vomited when he looked at the sea level.
However, as time passed, he found that his consciousness seemed to be getting stronger little by little.
In other words, dreaming every night is strengthening the power of consciousness.
Until tonight!
Sixteen years of savings seem to have finally reached a certain limit!
Boom!
Aaron Sotos felt an indescribable touch.
His consciousness expands infinitely, as if breaking a certain shackle, extending and expanding endlessly...
Disorder, chaos... It seems like it is in the center of nothingness, with twisted afterimages dancing along with green flames and crazy flute sounds...
Powerful power surged in my heart, as if I could change everything in front of me just by stretching out my hand!
He smiled, looking at the sea level that seemed to have remained unchanged for sixteen years, and the sun in the sky, thinking slightly crazily: "If it could be changed, this sun would look so boring. If it were red,
Enough!"
As soon as the thought came to mind, Aaron felt as if a floodgate had opened in his consciousness, and the power he had accumulated for sixteen years poured out!
In the sky, that seemingly eternal star suddenly had scarlet spots on its surface. The spots then connected into blocks, dyeing the entire sun red!
Scarlet light shines down, covering the earth and the ocean...
In this light, there seems to be unspeakable terror and weirdness hidden.
Wow!
The sea level parted, and sea fish emerged on the surface one after another, and then their scales exploded. It seemed that there were many nematodes crawling under the flesh and blood, growing sharp claws and teeth...
The strange fish gathered together, biting, devouring, and merging with each other...
Not far away, a larger shadow emerged, and a whale-like creature became the final winner and began to undergo even more crazy flesh and blood distortions...
"I...I didn't mean it..."
Feeling that his consciousness seemed to have returned to the weakness of his infancy, and the gradual awakening from madness, Aaron wanted to cry without tears.
At this time, in his mind, pieces of broken information emerged:
【I am a dream, I am entropy, I am everything!】
[I am independent from all dimensions, I am indescribable and indescribable!]
