This is a world very similar to the European Middle Ages in William's previous life. It was still in the feudal era, where the nobles were superior, the people lived in hardship, and productivity was low.
The only difference is that this is a world with extraordinary power.
There are warriors who temper their bodies and inspire life energy. They are also called knights. The strength, physique and reaction speed of knights are more than twice that of ordinary people, allowing them to explode with terrifying lethality, even if one can fight ten or dozens.
It looks like a self-propelled human tank.
Ordinary people, when encountering such knights, would just end up being slaughtered easily.
In William's memory, the aristocrats in this world were extremely exploitative, but not many people rose up to resist, just because of the existence of knights.
Knight, suppress all dissent!
Just like William, he has practiced knighthood since he was a child. Although he has not yet inspired the life energy to become a knight, he is still a peak knight attendant. He has integrated the seeds of life and has a body with far more physical strength than ordinary people. John was pushed gently by him just now.
, just push it out four or five meters away.
If William exerted all his strength, John would probably be injured.
The power of the knight is evident.
In addition to knights, there seems to be another supernatural power system circulating in this world, a supernatural power that is even more terrifying than knights.
The young Master Andrew whom John was talking about seems to have been detected to have the training qualifications of that extraordinary power system. Therefore, he is extremely favored in the family, and can even be said to be completely obedient. All the resources in the family are tilted towards him, and even sent
Two personal knights were at his command.
This time, Andrew randomly ordered two knights to injure William in the garden, causing William to fall into coma, lose consciousness, and be snatched away by Lin Xu who followed.
But for such a serious mistake, will Andrew be punished?
not at all!
The father of this body, Grand Duke Odyssey VII of the Principality of Fadil, thought it was William's fault!
It is a mistake to think that William appears in front of Andrew!
He is also the son of Grand Duke Odyssey VII, and this shows the Grand Duke's partiality.
Although the Grand Duke of Odyssey VII usually did not like to see William, whose deceased mother was born as a maid, William was often ridiculed and even bullied by his half-brothers and sisters whose mothers were mostly born in noble families. They believed that William had tarnished the blood of the Odyssey family.
Noble, but in this incident, the treatment of Grand Duke Odyssey VII was still extremely unfair!
Sure enough, there is no human rights without power? William thought to himself.
He was taught this wise saying as soon as he passed through this "new society". William's face was ugly and a little uncertain.
John was the loyal attendant left to him by his deceased mother. Seeing William's appearance, a trace of unbearability flashed in his eyes, as if he was hesitant to speak.
William noticed John's strange behavior, frowned, and asked, "John, in this world, you are as kind as my right and left hands. Is there anything else that you cannot tell me?"
John showed a smile that looked like he was crying and said bitterly, "Master William, the Grand Duke is very angry about this incident and has decided not to let you live in the castle..."
"Oh, my dear father, have you finally decided to kick me out of the house?" William stepped into his own role and said in a neutral tone.
John's frown deepened, and he glanced at the calm William cautiously, and then said, "The Grand Duke has decided to make you Baron Dickas, and the Dark Forest, the surrounding small village of Nisei, and the Shadow Swamp deep in the Dark Forest.
They are all your territory. The Grand Duke also said that as long as you can occupy the lands north of Shadow Swamp, you can recognize your ownership of them!"
The more William listened, the colder his face became. When he heard the last word, he couldn't help but sneered, which made John feel particularly distressed and a little scared.
"My dear father has been so kind to me!" William said.
The land granted to him by Grand Duke Odyssey is in the northernmost part of the Principality of Fardir, and it covers a large area. William estimates that the total area of the Dark Forest, Shadow Swamp, is almost 10,000 square kilometers, which is larger than the area of Guangzhou in his previous life.
The entire Principality of Fadil is only more than 200,000 square kilometers, and William's area accounts for one-twentieth, which is larger than the area of a viscount.
But, what kind of land was enfeoffed to him?
They are all bitter cold places!
And after passing the Shadow Swamp, there is the Kingdom of Golden Rose.
The Kingdom of Golden Rose and the Principality of Fardir have been hostile for generations, and both sides claim ownership of Shadow Swamp.
If it weren't for the low productivity of this era and the existence of the swamp blocking the progress of both parties, otherwise, there would be a new battlefield for the two countries!
Grand Duke Odyssey VII entrusted Shadow Swamp to a man who didn't even have the strength to be a knight. This was not a gift, it was pushing him into a pit of fire!
This is also the reason why William is angry.
Grand Duke Odyssey VII wanted him to die, and not to die in front of him, but to get away and die!
"When?" William finally calmed down, took a long breath, and then asked.
"Master William, I heard from others that the Grand Duke has handed over the resolution to the Parliament of Nobles! I'm afraid it won't take long!"
"How long exactly?"
John hesitated for a moment and said, "In only five days at the earliest, the Grand Duke will ask you to leave the castle, leave the city of Sayre, and go to the fief!"
"Five days? How can the efficiency of the principality be so high? Okay!" William sighed.
"Master William..." John frowned, wanting to comfort William, but didn't know what to say.
"John, please go out first."
"Master William, you...actually it's okay to leave. Your deceased mother will be very happy to know that you have become a baron." John was very worried about William's condition.
"I know, I'm fine, I just want to be alone. Is that okay, John?" William looked at John.
"Of course...it's as you wish!" John had no choice but to salute, walked out, and closed the door.
As soon as John left, William's originally tense body relaxed and he let out a long breath.
The pain in his body spread like a tide, and William couldn't help but grin.
This is the damage caused by Andrew's two knights, and it will take time to recover.
But he couldn't show it in front of John.
In front of John just now, he was acting.
Acting with the reaction that William's body should have!
He didn't dare to let others see the abnormality in his body, especially at this pass he had just passed through.
Grand Duke Odyssey VII had so many sons, he would not care about losing a son he hated.
So Lin Xu, oh, no, I should say William, must be careful!
William shook his head and smiled bitterly, and could only comfort himself and said, "At least you start as a small noble, which is much better than many time-traveling predecessors who can only start as a poor person!"
"I just didn't expect that I just bought an hourglass and a fairy tale book, but I would also buy a time travel?"
"I just don't know whether to cry or laugh?"
"By the way, I don't know who will have that hourglass in the end? I still like it very much." William's thoughts were flying in his mind.
Suddenly, just when he was thinking about the hourglass, an hourglass emitting bright and soft light appeared in front of him out of thin air, suspended in mid-air.
"How is that possible?" William was frightened for a moment.
The hourglass in front of him was very similar to the hourglass in his previous life.
It's just that the glass ball walls on both sides are filled with colorful light spots of unknown disillusionment. The rusty pipe belt in the middle also has an ancient and wild smell, but inside a glass ball wall, it is filled with silver.
The light spots formed a silver light band that circled endlessly!
"Is this the same hourglass I bought in my last life? It has also traveled through time? How did it become like this? Where is the fairy tale book? Didn't it travel through time?"
William couldn't help but reach out and touch the hourglass.
As soon as he touched it, the bright light on the hourglass enveloped William.
After a moment's rest, the light receded, but a trace of understanding and wonder flashed in William's eyes.
"This hourglass actually has this magical function. As long as it accumulates enough energy, it can take me to other worlds?"
"Go? Or not?"
At this time, the hourglass is full of energy and can take William to other worlds, but William is caught in the battle between heaven and man, hesitating!
"It's like this anyway, so what are you afraid of? Let's go and have a look first. If it doesn't work, just come back first."
In the end, curiosity defeated reason.
William's hand suddenly grasped the hourglass, and with a thought, the hourglass suddenly shone brightly, surrounding William.
The space in front of William was suddenly torn open, revealing a dark passage.
The smell in the passage is like the iron pipe connecting two glass balls in an hourglass, full of the flavor of eternity.
William hesitated and walked in.
The hole behind William was immediately closed.
He walks alone on the road of emptiness!
Not long after walking, a bright light suddenly appeared in front of us.
William walked quickly into the light.
Suddenly his vision changed, and he had appeared in a field under the scorching sun.
The air is full of fresh smell.
William looked around and found that not far from him, there were several men in ragged clothes and sallow faces, plowing the fields with ancient plows.
Seeing William's sudden appearance, they were also curious, gathered together, and pointed at William.
Now that he was discovered, William had no intention of hiding it.
He walked towards the men generously and asked, "Hello, where are you?"
"Jiligualahuliguala..." A man opened his mouth and said.
William's face suddenly stiffened.
There is a language barrier after time travel, how to solve this problem?
