At the beginning of the Ankylosaurus calendar 410, the Kingdom of Asra.
This is a rich country located in the north-central part of the central continent. Its comprehensive strength is the highest among all countries. About five hundred years ago, the third war between humans and demons broke out. The demon god Laplace gathered the demons on the demon continent. The Orcs and Sea Tribes unite to launch an attack, excluding the Kingdom of Asra and the Holy Kingdom of Milis, and all human nations are wiped out.
In the end, the seven heroes defeated the demon god and sealed Laplace at the expense of four people. The demon peace faction who cooperated with humans in the war also received corresponding rewards. The blockade of the demon continent was lifted, and superficial discrimination was banned.
In short, Asra has a strong historical and material foundation. The Red Dragon Mountains have created a superior geographical environment. Although no major war has broken out for a long time, there is still a considerable number of troops in the territory, even if the nobles are extremely addicted to enjoyment. , and it is far from causing turmoil.
Late at night, the Royal Capital of Ars, Silver Palace.
The noise in the banquet hall had just subsided, and the heads of the four superior nobles returned to the castle, surrounded by servants and guards. The firewood crackled in the fireplace, and the smell of spices lingered in the entire hall. The maids collected the leftovers and tableware, and the housekeepers The minister had already left in the middle of the banquet, leaving only one chamberlain to deal with the aftermath.
Today is the fourteenth birthday of Sariel Anemoi Asra. He is a direct descendant of the late king and the younger brother of the current King Asra. The specifications of this adult banquet are in line with royal standards, but the real The point is that the king was not present.
Generally speaking, the five, ten, and fifteen years old are important celebration points for the Asra people. However, the Minister of the Interior held an adult banquet when Saliel was fourteen years old. This was a major mistake, but it was enough as a signal. clear.
Sariel, like other former princes, was not favored by King Asra, and this point would become a consensus among the nobles.
Jiang Yuan opened his eyes, and what caught his sight was the brilliant lights. He was sitting at the second seat of the long table in the middle. On the opposite side of the fireplace, five oil paintings were hung. The first king and the king added more than ten years ago were on the right. On one side, the second of the three heroes is lined up on the other side, with the Ankylosaurus King Pergius in the middle. The reason why this hero can receive such an honor is simple, because he is most likely still alive.
Outside the window whose frame is dotted with fine gems, an aerial castle is faintly visible in the sky. For hundreds of years, people have obviously been accustomed to the existence of this miraculous building. According to the mainstream theory, it is the residence of the Ankylosaurus King, but there are also rumors that it is. A cemetery. Since Pergius avoided the world after the war, the accurate results have never been confirmed.
Basic information containing humanistic knowledge echoed in his mind, and Jiang Yuan felt his own consciousness projection.
His physical strength is higher than that of ordinary people, but in his opinion, he is so weak that it makes people miss him. His fourteen-year-old body has not yet matured. After receiving complicated lessons in language, mathematics, etiquette, etc., he can train as a swordsman. It started not long ago.
Sword God style, lower level swordsman.
"Uncle, it's time for me to say goodbye."
On the main seat, the blond girl stood up, held the corner of her gorgeous clothes and saluted. Her appearance was exquisite and dazzling. Ariel Anemoi Asra, she is the second princess and the third heir, representing Asra. Wang attended the banquet. Because of her young age, she was not much taller than the table at the age of seven, but her speech and behavior were very qualified.
Two knights stepped forward and came to Ariel's side to escort her away. The boy among them was Luke, the second son of the head of the Notos family, one of the four superior nobles.
Jiang Yuan looked around the hall. At this time, the palace nobles were exiting in an orderly manner according to their status. Ariel obviously received a lot of attention besides him. There is a kind of special ability that people are born with in this world. On the positive side, it is called the Son of God. On the negative side, it is called Son of God. Known as the Curse, the Second Princess is the naturally charismatic Son of God.
Of course, this had nothing to do with Jiang Yuan. He paid attention to his surroundings because he noticed something interesting.
The guests left, the maids cleaned the hall, and the stronger male servants moved the tables and chairs. Four people came over, saluted respectfully and prepared to clear the long table. Tomorrow is a large dance, and the Asra nobles gather every day for a year. The reasons for getting up are almost the same.
Blood was spilled, and a manservant who had lifted the edge of the long table with both hands died instantly. The other three simultaneously drew out daggers coated with dark green liquid and suddenly attacked the target.
The sound of screaming and shouting for guards sounded. Jiang Yuan reached out to hold the table knife on the table. When he turned back, his feet hooked the chair and knocked forward. The assassin closest to him was disturbed from his sword posture and held the sword. His hand hit the chair and cracks appeared.
When Jiang Yuan landed, his body was in a forward leaning posture. As his muscles tightened, his strength suddenly exploded. After one step, the table knife penetrated the cracks in the chair and stabbed directly into the enemy's eyeball. Without any hesitation, he removed the assassin's dagger and immediately raised it to the upper left.
The blades met, and the second assassin's face showed confusion, as if there was an unknown force pushing his dagger to slip, and the illusory airflow on the sword was useless.
Jiang Yuan cut the opponent's wrist, turned around and threw it, and stabbed out with the dagger, forcing the last assassin to stop. The blow was fierce, but due to the strength of the body, the speed was not fast. Cutting the cheek was already the limit, and he could not It kills the superior swordsman directly, but the poison on it is very effective.
At this time, the second assassin's dagger fell from his hand. Jiang Yuan raised his leg and kicked sideways, hitting the rotating hilt with his foot. The dagger suddenly accelerated and plunged into the neck of the original sword holder in the direction of the force.
A few seconds passed, and three elite assassins at the advanced swordsman level died. The last one lost consciousness when the poison eroded his brain. His screams gradually disappeared, and the orders of the guard captain were faintly heard from a distance.
Jiang Yuan checked the wrist injury. The activities beyond the body's endurance had obviously caused some inconvenience. How much strength he could exert before a certain objective limit depended on the price he was willing to pay.
This is a world of magic and fighting spirit.
Subordinate, intermediate, superior.
Saint level, king level.
Emperor level, god level.
Among them, the classification of the third stage is relatively confusing. Most of them are strong men who can only appear after historical legacy. They do not point to the specific realm, and it is difficult to measure. If the emperor level successfully challenges the god level, the opponent's title will be taken away. The founder of a major school The leader automatically inherits the title of god.
To a certain extent, King level is the limit of normality, and those two levels are used to describe guys who go beyond common sense.
"Your Highness Sariel."
The captain of the guard hurriedly led his men, and behind him was a group of twelve fully armored knights. Only senior swordsmen could master fighting spirit. Even these carefully selected talents would be difficult to reach that point in large numbers.
"Write down the name of the nobleman left in the hall now." Jiang Yuan said calmly. The other party was positioned as his earl bodyguard, a superior swordsman selected through the knight academy training - Cullen. Of course, the title was court earl. There was no real power.
"Ah...understood." Cullen replied.
An assassination occurred in the Silver Palace. The forbidden army mobilized and surrounded the hall. The Royal Blood Knights gathered. The leader of the Knights was ordered to personally investigate the incident. This sword king with half royal blood practiced the water god style that is good at defense and was a big shot in the royal capital.
The minister in charge of the ceremony sent the royal order, and Jiang Yuan left the Silver Palace under the protection of the guards and returned to his mansion in the inner city.
The night view of the royal capital of Ars is quite brilliant. It is the largest city in the world, with the majestic royal city-Silver Palace standing on the hill, the rows of fortress-like mansions surrounding it, and the fortress-like buildings that wrap these up. Outside the city wall, there are streets that seem to extend infinitely.
The fighting arena and the training ground for the Knights are both the size of a town. The temple of the Order of St. Milis is very gorgeous. Land bridges are scattered everywhere. There are many opera houses. There are also luxurious flower streets, the headquarters of major chambers of commerce, and the three major swordsmanship factions. Dojo.
On the outermost side is a grand gate to commemorate the victory of the Third War between Humans and Demons.
Jiang Yuan returned to the mansion and received news from the house servant before he entered the house.
The second princess Ariel was assassinated, and one of the two guardian knights died.
"Your Majesty the Earl..." the house attendant said awkwardly.
"Everyone knows that I don't have the background to carry out the assassination, and I lack the necessary motive, so I don't have to cooperate with the investigation. Cullen, give him the list. There are nobles who saw me who were not present. The number is probably enough. "
"yes."
Cullen took one out from under his armored hand and handed it over. The house attendant breathed a sigh of relief, at least he could handle his responsibilities.
After entering the mansion, Jiang Yuan raised his hand to refuse the approach of the maid, and took off the monster velvet clothes outside. Sariel was the youngest son of the late king. Before King Arras succeeded to the throne, he held the title of duke. The situation changed, and the title was changed to The Earl of the Palace also serves as one of the twenty-four warehouse officers. This is a false position that cannot manage the house. To be precise, it does not even have a corresponding office location.
There are still many meaningless official positions in the Asra Center, which are used to accommodate the increasing number of royal and noble relatives as time goes by. If everything goes well, Sariel's descendants will inherit this position and receive salary all year round. .
Jiang Yuan walked into the study room. There were many general books on the bookshelf behind him, which could help him clarify the current situation.
First of all, Xia Mi is lost. This is not important. After all, he does not expect the other party to be of much help. The fighting instinct accumulated by the Dragon King over a long period of time is not weak. Under normal circumstances, it is not a big problem, but with that guy's performance , it is not uncommon to die unexpectedly.
The second thing is what happened tonight. The main target of this assassination should be Alice. She is just a target to create flaws. Although the first assassination brought the Forbidden Army and the Knights together, the real level of vigilance will inevitably drop. The incident has passed Autosuggestion can help people relax after overreactions.
As far as he knew, a similar incident occurred three years ago. In the same crisis, a certain number of sword-wielding maids died, and some were fired because of injuries. They were used as bait to drive away from the Royal Palace of Silver. Among them was Lily. Ya, later a member of the Rudeus family.
In the end, both Asra and the world were too peaceful.
"War, endless war."
Jiang Yuan determined the overall goal of this trip, not only for the starlight, but also to condense the extremely rare mysterious characteristics and become the incarnation and symbol of war. This concept is more suitable for the advancement of power in the future.
On the table, a book wrapped in a monster's skin is placed in front of you. This book records basic magic knowledge and is a common textbook among nobles.
Magic is roughly divided into three types, attack magic, healing magic and summoning magic.
The use of magic requires magic power, which comes from two sources: oneself and the outside world. The latter can be extracted from items containing magic power.
At the same time, there are two ways to activate magic, namely chanting and magic circle.
It is worth mentioning that everything in the jobless world contains magic, including the corpses on the roadside. The only difference is how much.
In theory, anyone can become a magician, but in practice, it requires a certain level of talent.
Jiang Yuan raised his hands flat and recited the eulogy of the intermediate fire magic - Fireball.
As he adapted to and controlled the energy in his body, a small orange-red fireball appeared in his palm.
The fireball dispersed, Jiang Yuan closed his eyes and recalled the flow and route of the magic power. The next second, the fireball rekindled, but this time he did not chant a hymn.
The so-called chantless magic is an advanced technique. It can be successful by completely recording the flow of magic power and forming a profound physical instinct. There is no need to use chants to echo the energy, and it only needs to be proficient at a comfortable level.
"Same as Muji Ninjutsu."
Jiang Yuan closed the book. The simplest chant took five seconds. Therefore, in today's world, the swordsman group has a clear advantage over the magician group.
In addition, the tool textbook mentions that one's magic power is predetermined at birth, which is partially false. To be precise, continuous high-intensity exercise before the age of ten will increase the upper limit of magic power. However, given the overwhelming presence of swordsmen, , people generally believe that the cost of practicing cultivation will be much less after the body has grown up.
"We need to find a way to increase our magic power."
…
The next day, Silver Palace, King's Garden, Pavilion.
"Are you sure you want to choose this way?"
The speaker was a man over fifty years old.
King Asra, the master of the most powerful country in the world.
At this time, two plump and beautiful women were sitting on his lap. With the movement of their palms, inappropriate sounds sounded in the garden of the palace. The surrounding guardian knights and internal affairs officers did not think there was anything wrong with this. However, there has not been a full-scale war for hundreds of years, and the nobles of Asra are going further and further on the path of perversion. Today, His Majesty even intends to restrain himself. After all, the Yao Di in front of you was assassinated just yesterday.
"The royal capital is like a whirlpool. I haven't liked disputes since I was a child. It's a blessing to be able to block some of the troubles for Ariel. I just want to spend the rest of my years in a remote place. As for Cullen, he still has a broader future, and besides, I also I don't have a good impression of martial arts." Jiang Yuan said seriously. Although Cullen didn't reveal any flaws in the note, the possibility of surveillance was still high.
The strength in King Asra's hand unconsciously increased, and the look of thinking on his face became thicker.
"You don't even need the troops. It seems that this assassination is a bit excessive." King Asra said, "Indeed, according to the ancestors, you do have the choice to become a pioneering noble, but for four hundred years, the fiefdom has been destroyed The nobles have been divided, and there are not many wars. The current situation lacks room to expand the existence of the nobles."
"Nachen hopes to study abroad in the Magic Three Kingdoms." Jiang Yuan said.
"How could I let you pass?" King Asra said with a smile. This kind of result that would cause trouble in the next generation's succession competition should be avoided from the beginning. Sariel is a direct descendant and is currently ranked twelfth in the line of succession. , but this is only a possibility. Leaving the border means completely giving up cultivating party members, and the original intention is commendable.
Silence fell in the garden, with only the voices of the two beautiful women echoing. After a while, they slipped from King Asra's lap. Their graceful bodies looked as soft as boneless, and their whole bodies trembled slightly.
"You have already passed your coming-of-age ceremony."
"Fourteen doesn't count."
"You said it doesn't count?"
Jiang Yuan's face was expressionless, and some bloody thoughts were already coming up in his mind.
"Come here, go get the image stone."
A guardian knight left and returned not long after with a box made of precious wood. After opening it, there were rectangular transparent stones inside, each with corresponding information.
"All the girls of suitable age from middle-level noble families in the kingdom are here. I haven't seen them either. You can choose for yourself. Forget about pioneering nobles. Asra doesn't need a hero. If not, just lower-level nobles will give me an answer before tomorrow."
King Asra wanted to pick up the woman on the ground, and tried it. After failing, he stood up and left with a cold expression. The woman suddenly became frightened, rolled over and followed His Majesty regardless of her manners, letting her body roll over the stone road, stained with grass clippings. Don't dare slow down.
"Ha, you guy."
King Asra laughed heartily, and the minister in charge of the ceremony next to him bowed and asked, "Your Majesty."
"Dispose of it."
"clear."
In an instant, the other woman in the pavilion turned pale. She quickly turned over and prepared to imitate, but the guardian knight carried her away without hesitation, and the panicked cry for mercy spread.
Jiang Yuan ignored everything happening around him and carefully searched for the mid-level nobles who were suitable for occupying the magpie nest. However, these nobles usually had many branches and it was expected to take a long time.
"Give me the ones from lower nobles as well."
"Yes." the internal affairs officer responded.
A few minutes later, Jiang Yuan got the photographic stone and information that recorded the lower-level nobles. Leaving the capital was the first priority. The war faction had no place to survive here. It was just an accident. It all depended on who was unlucky.
"Um?"
Jiang Yuan's hand paused. The female countess, Chamis Tumitit, had just replaced her deceased grandfather as the lord a while ago. She was fourteen years old.
Tumitit Territory is located in the northeast corner of the kingdom, east of Feitoa Territory, close to the Red Dragon Mountains.
There are strong people living on the Red Dragon Mountains - groups of Red Dragons. They will not allow any creature to cross the mountains, and even wild dogs will kill them. However, due to the agreement between the Ankylosaurus King Pergius and the First King, the animals in the mountains will A few canyons were not included, and four fortresses were formed. Through this path, the kingdom maintained a long-term and powerful intervention in the disputed lands beyond the mountains, preventing it from forming a complete kingdom for hundreds of years.
Tumitit Territory is located near the northern fortress.
Jiang Yuan's eyes moved to the image stone. There was still the image of the old man inside, which had obviously not been updated yet.
"What's Viscount Tumitit's reputation like?"
The internal affairs officer was stunned when he heard this, and answered truthfully: "There are very few rumors leaked out."
"That's her." Jiang Yuan decided.
…
In the evening, a dance was held in the banquet hall, hosted by the First Prince. King Asra was not interested in such activities. He liked a more direct approach.
Currently, the most powerful upstart in the center of the kingdom is Darius, who became the superior minister a year ago. He and the first prince Gravel are essentially in an alliance, and the family behind the former is also quite powerful.
In front of the King's Palace, Jiang Yuan was waiting in a black hunting suit, with a long sword that looked more like an ornament hanging on his waist. After the attendant announced, the Minister of Internal Affairs came out disheveled, with a luxurious aroma on his body. .
"Your Majesty has rested. Your Majesty is responsible for the wedding. The gifts have been prepared. There will be two teams of Imperial Guards as escorts. Your Majesty requires Cullen to go with him." The Minister of the Interior was obviously impatient and impatient. He did not tidy up his clothes. Human games are only in the ordinary scope among the Asra nobles. Being able to cooperate with the king is undoubtedly a high honor.
"Can the gift be exchanged?" Jiang Yuan asked. Asra's style had to be baptized by war. He felt more and more that his decision was in line with the current national conditions and that it was hard to go against the general trend.
"This doesn't fit..."
“Then let’s talk about the specific data first.”
"As long as they are of equal value, if His Highness is fine, I have to go back to take care of His Majesty. I won't send you far away."
The Minister of Internal Affairs turned around and entered the King's Palace. Sariel was not taken seriously. He only needed to get along on the surface and there was no need to give too much accommodation.
Jiang Yuan put the image stone in his hand back into his cuff, took the list from the guarding knight at the door, and turned to head to the royal warehouse.
On the list, two teams of twenty-four fully armored knights were at the top of the list. Off-the-job cavalry were very valuable. Even if there were only two teams, the supply could bring down an ordinary village.
There are three housekeepers, fifty-four maids, and twenty-seven male servants. This is the standard. The rest include gold, silver, jewelry, famous paintings and other things. In terms of appearance, he has not encountered any difficulty. After all, the royal family If they are humiliated, the first group of people who will be dissatisfied will be other royal families. This is due to their own sense of crisis, just as few kings can truly tolerate the surrender of the regicide.
Arriving at the royal warehouse, the people on duty were important cadres of the Knights, a sword master, two earth magicians, and some ordinary imperial guards and clerks.
Jiang Yuan communicated with the Juggernaut to change the items on the list, preparing to replace servants and scrolls with ores and magic materials.
The Sword Master looked at the image stone and said, "That's easy to handle. Your Highness, please come in."
There is no such thing as being old-fashioned. The warehouse is full of royal collections. If the exchange is completed, he can take a lot of commissions.
In the warehouse, an inexplicable smell came from the accumulation of large amounts of ore, somewhere between earthy smell and heavy rust.
As a qualified master of alchemy, it is not difficult to distinguish and determine the inner characteristics of materials through the appearance of materials. From the most fundamental point of view, this is the adaptability of civilization.
Clerks began to check the value of servants. Servants trained by the internal affairs system were extremely popular among lower-level nobles and knights. They all had basic numeracy and writing skills. More importantly, they knew correct and standardized etiquette, and they could often be sold for sky-high prices. .
Jiang Yuan selected the ores and materials and prepared to build a military tower. War requires manpower. He didn't want to put too much effort into maintaining loyalty, so he decided to simply use the alchemy soldiers. Most of the strong men in the jobless world didn't have much defense. Except for aliens, this creates the feasibility for the army to encircle and kill them.
In the end, Jiang Yuan took away a longbow worth seven maids. Such magical add-ons are usually produced in mazes and have various special effects, but most of them are useless.
"Blood Longbow, Your Highness has good eyesight." The sword master complimented, he made a lot of money.
The longbow's effect is bleeding, and the upper limit is high-level healing magic. In the holy country of Milis, healing magicians are quite rare.
Forgot to divide the papers, reincarnated without a job
