"Master, you can't go on like this! If you don't eat anymore, you will really starve!"
"Bah! Look at what a mess you made!"
"I don't dare to deceive the master. There have been three or four chefs in the castle these days, and the food they cook doesn't have any bad taste..."
Beside the long, square oak table, a young manservant was defending in a low voice.
On the side, Bruno glanced at the food on the table with disgust and felt a chill in his stomach.
Bruno is a time traveler.
In the 21st century, when time-travel activities are becoming more and more rampant, he has closely followed the pace of the times and become a member of the army of time-travelers.
However, he did not travel to ancient China like others, but passed through his soul and became a noble from another world.
The original owner of this body was Bruno Stuart, a young earl of the Norman Empire who owned a vast fiefdom on the east coast of the continent.
The nobles of another world may sound pretty good, but the reality is cruel.
Because this world is in an era similar to the Western Middle Ages on earth. Although there are extraordinary powers like mages, poverty and backwardness are still the mainstream of this era.
Even though Bruno is a noble, his quality of life is far from luxurious.
Even from the perspective of Bruno, a time traveler, the aristocrats of this era... are a bit miserable...
The food placed on the long oak table was considered a delicacy that only nobles could enjoy in this era, but Bruno still felt a touch of sadness.
For example, the "black pudding" placed in the middle of the table sounds like a good dessert, but in fact it is a black paste-like object. Not only is it unpleasant to the stomach, but the taste is hard to describe.
As a history buff, Bruno certainly knew that the so-called black pudding was actually made by boiling the pig's heart, liver, lungs, stomach and other internal organs by adding oats and pig blood, but looking at the black pudding
, Bruno really couldn't bring up the slightest appetite.
Looking over the food on the table, white bread may be the only food Bruno can swallow on this table. Although it is very different from the bread of later generations, it is enough to satisfy his hunger.
Picking up a piece of rough white bread, Bruno took a vicious bite, and a sour taste lingered in his mouth.
In fact, the reason why Bruno ignored the background of this era and found fault everywhere was because the original owner of this body was an extremely absurd guy, and all kinds of weird ideas emerged in an endless stream, so that Bruno wanted to avoid being noticed.
Strangely, he had no choice but to make things difficult for the servants around him from time to time according to his original memory.
Seeing that his lordship had finally eaten, the young manservant standing aside suddenly jumped for joy. This was a happy and at ease feeling.
The valet quickly served a bowl of steaming vegetable soup and handed it to his dear Lord with a warm smile like an aunt's.
"Master, eat slowly, don't choke."
The soup is just a bland clear soup with a few celery leaves floating in it. Although it doesn't taste very good, it is much stronger than the thick soup at the beginning.
People in this world, like the Western Middle Ages, have habits that are completely opposite to those of later generations, and have a strange enthusiasm for cooking fruits and eating raw vegetables.
However, after all, Bruno is the owner of the castle, so he reversed this habit during his first meal after traveling.
"Sabi, I'll reward you with that piece of black pudding."
Taking the vegetable soup from the young manservant, Bruno said calmly.
The young manservant's name is Shabi, Bruno's valet, with a name as elegant and beautiful as a Tunisian poet on Earth.
"Thank you for your gift, sir."
The valet Sabi was immediately overjoyed, and his moist eyes were filled with tears of excitement. You know, that was a delicious black pudding...
The white bread was not delicious, but it was enough to satisfy his hunger. Besides, Bruno had no other choice, so he ate it voraciously.
It's not that he doesn't want to spend effort and time to improve the extremely backward diet in this world, but because he has more important things to do now!
After randomly stuffing something into his mouth, Bruno stood up.
The servants waiting on the side quickly bowed their heads and greeted him. It was not until Bruno's figure completely left the hall that Shabi, like a hungry tiger pouncing on food, stuffed the black pudding on the table into his mouth carefully under the envious eyes of the servants.
The ground started chewing.
It smells so good...
I don’t know why the lord is not interested in such delicious food.
…
Bruno's room is located on the top floor of the castle. It is a very large bedroom. The warm sunlight slants in through the window sill, dispelling the cold and old atmosphere in the castle.
There is no gorgeous silk and satin on the spacious bed, and there is no soft velvet carpet on the floor of the room. Although the ancient castle looks majestic and majestic from the outside, it is really not very comfortable to live in.
There is a thick light yellow gauze curtain surrounding the bed, which is embroidered with patterns that are not very symmetrical and beautiful.
After locking the door, Bruno lay on his back on the big bed in the room and closed his eyes.
moment.
There was a hazy smoke in Bruno's vision, and a familiar text appeared in front of his eyes...
【From the first sprout of life underwater, to the giant beasts of the Stone Age, to the first time humans walked upright, you have experienced a lot. Now, start your greatest exploration: from the cradle of early life to the vastness
Xingyu...]
Bruno: "..."
It’s that familiar line again…
Gradually, the text slowly disappeared from the field of vision, and an attribute panel quietly appeared on the left side of Bruno's field of vision.
【Idar City】
Total number of soldiers: 314
Reserve personnel:1205
Gold coin surplus: 2520
National Ideas: Unlocked
National policy: not unlocked
Religious affiliation: Church of Light (religious unity 76%)

[The host can obtain rewards by building wonders. This system will comprehensively evaluate the grandeur of the wonders to determine the reward rating]
…
Since coming to this world two days ago, this panel has appeared in Bruno's vision.
There is nothing to be surprised about. After all, they have traveled to this poor and backward world. Bruno's mentality has long since collapsed. If he didn't give himself a golden finger, he would definitely knock the author to the ground and beat him up.
Huh?
wrong!
Why do I have such strange thoughts?
Abandoning the random thoughts in his mind, Bruno continued to observe his "golden finger".
The attribute panel systematically recorded several major aspects of information on his territory. Although it was not exhaustive, it at least gave him a general understanding of his territory.
After these two days of research, Bruno basically understood the urinary properties of this system.
Although it is not an advanced artificial intelligence and does not have any interactive experience, it arranges its tasks clearly. For example, right now, there is a line of light gold text in the most conspicuous position above the property panel.
