"So what do I have to give?"
William looked at the dwarf Liam who was explaining to him and asked calmly.
There is never a free lunch in this world, nor is there any unreasonable kindness. The two of them are not in a father-son relationship. Suddenly, they are explaining so many things to themselves, and their attitude is so friendly. No matter how you look at it, it seems weird.
The real world is like this, and the world of fairy tales is no exception. The male protagonist of Aladdin's magic lamp was also used by the bad guy "uncle" to take away the magic lamp.
He can be useful to some extent, and it is precisely because he is useful that Liam talks to him so much.
If it had no value, he would have been hacked to death by the drunken Liam as a sneak attack.
"I don't need you to pay. Do you think you have anything else that I can covet now?"
Liam shook his head and chuckled, "As you can see, I am a prince, and a prince cannot live without horses or servants. Do you understand what I mean? I am short of a servant. I think you’re a good fit.”
William was stunned for a moment. Seeing the shyness hidden under Liam's smile, he originally thought there was some conspiracy, but he suddenly felt that he was overthinking it.
Liam, the dwarf prince, might be a parallel prince like Prince Brant and his friend Hans.
In the world of fairy tales, the prince rides on a white horse and takes a servant with him, and then starts wandering around the world. What's more, he doesn't even bring a servant, and he starts wandering without even a horse. In reality, this actually reflects a It is a very real fact that the kings and princes in the fairy tale world are very poor.
William's Holy Empire has more than 300 states and thousands of hereditary knight territories. The king counts every ton and the princes travel everywhere.
It's just that although there are many countries in the Holy Empire, there are more royal families. There is only one prince to inherit the throne. What to do with the other princes? They can only go out alone with a sword and a horse.
The reason why the princes of Eastern countries are valuable is that the Eastern court can use 30 to 40% of the fiscal revenue to raise the clan like pigs. The Japanese court cannot afford to raise it, so it has no choice but to let the princes and princesses become monks, so that they have no offspring but can enjoy corresponding treatment. If the contemporary royal family cannot afford to support them, then the only option is to expel the royal family, demote them to ministerial status, and support themselves.
Only one of each generation of princes in the Ottoman Empire can become the future sultan (king). According to the laws of the Ottoman Empire, as long as one of them succeeds to the throne, for the sake of order, his brother and his brother's descendants must be killed.
Sometimes, in order for his son to succeed to the throne smoothly, the old sultan would personally kill his own son or grandson to make way for his heir.
The reason why Knight Ryan does not want to canonize his son Hans as a knight is because Hans is the youngest son. In front of him, there is the eldest son who inherits the family business, and there are also two brothers. According to the tradition of the empire, these second sons have no inheritance rights. If you are unable to inherit property and territory, you will only be kicked out by your father or brother, and you will go out to make your own way in the world.
Territory and title are basically not divided now.
For the second sons of nobles, they were either sent to the knights of the church, went on crusade and died in the war bears, or became clergy of the church.
"Shall I become your attendant?" William asked in disbelief.
"You are not just a squire, but you are also my servant, my knight, my steward, and my foreign affairs officer. In short, you are responsible for all trivial matters. If I find a horse, you will also work as a groom for me part-time. Of course, as a reward, I will teach you fighting skills, and at the same time, I will help you resurrect when you come to the human world. After all, an undead cannot serve me. There is definitely no money, and I don't even think I have enough money to buy beer."
Liam spoke openly. William's mouth twitched and he wanted to refuse, but then he saw Liam said unhurriedly, "This condition is already quite favorable. There is no such store after this village. I Knowing the destiny gold coin will put you in a state of good luck to a certain extent, but once the evil dragon knows that you are not dead..."
"My respected Master Liam, may I ask what your orders are."
William lowered his head respectfully and assumed the identity of a servant. It was an old-fashioned threat, but it was very effective.
Come on, they're just servants, bodyguards, grooms, boys, bookboys, and housekeepers.
"I'm going to attend the fairy's banquet tomorrow. When the time comes, you can go with me. I really miss the wine. Anyway, I'm going to sleep now. Remember to call me when it gets up."
After Liam finished speaking, he fell directly on his seat and leaned against the tree and fell asleep. William's face turned ugly when he saw the snoring coming from him.
For his own resurrection, it seems that he can only be a servant for a while.
Liam was once the prince of the human kingdom, once human.
William touched his chin and sat near the bonfire, staring at Liam's face, and then looked at the radiance of the gold coin of fate spinning above his head.
The gold coin of destiny will push destiny to make him stronger, so he brought himself to a different world and met Liam. This means that if he wants to be resurrected and slay the dragon, he must rely on Liam.
Elf?
According to legend, elves are also called leprechauns, and they are not very powerful creatures.
It’s just that Liam doesn’t look like a leprechaun.
The downtrodden prince.
He is handsome, tall and possesses amazing strength.
Why does this setting of one person conquering the world look so like the protagonist in a fairy tale?
If Liam can build a country through hard work, then William can also prosper.
Is it just Liam the main character?
According to Francis, the king is God's arrangement, and the prince, as a reserve king, also has a rank in the Kabbalah tree of life.
William found a place near Liam and leaned against the tree, looking at the burning bonfire. Suddenly, the originally calm flames made a crackling sound.
The flame transformed into a fiery red mini dragon, and the dragon's power that made the body tremble directly hit the heart. William wanted to grab a sword, but he thought that the holy sword had already been destroyed by the evil dragon's breath, and he was in a panic. He only grabbed a branch and pointed it at the evil dragon.
"Liam, wake up, the dragon is coming, that evil dragon is coming."
William called out to Liam who was sleeping deeply, but he just adjusted his sleeping position and continued to sleep without hearing William's call at all.
The flame-transformed red dragon stared at him with piercing eyes, as if he could see through everything.
"Hello, William!" the red dragon greeted with a human voice.
William held the branch in his hand as if he was wielding a holy sword. It was this evil dragon that took away the lives of the brave Francis, the Dragon Slaying Mercenary Group, his friends Hans, Kun, Hess and himself. .
"I have no hostility towards you. I am Arthur Pendragon, King of Britain, leader of the Knights of the Round Table. This red dragon is my incarnation!"
The red dragon spoke human words and looked at the fate gold coin above William's head, "Destiny guided me to come, maybe it is God's arrangement. Don't be afraid, I am here to help you, young dragon slayer!"
