Surviving The Fourth Natural Disaster - CH 2
At the gate of the castle, Hill’s valet, Bonn, was waiting for him in a carriage.
When he saw Hill appear, Bonn said with a smile: “Lord Baron! Everything is packed! Let’s go!”
Bonn’s parents were servants who followed Hill’s mother.
Hill couldn’t keep meeting his other family member on the grounds of the Earl, who was very unhappy with Melanie.
And he estimated that his grandfather was already a Legendary Wizard, which was enough to make the Earl as a great knight bow to him.
But Frank gave him a large sum of money without appearing in front of the Earl. Hill knew very well about his disdain and hatred for the Earl.
Because of that, Hill had better to stay far away from the Earl and leave everyone behind.
He got into the carriage and said softly, “Let’s go!”
The carriage set off quickly.
Bonn’s parents, Lock and Lina, were waiting outside the town with their other two children in a carriage. When they saw Hill’s carriage, they followed and started all the way to the western border.
The Earl of Perast territory was in the interior of the Salar Kingdom, not far from the royal city, rich but not powerful.
If he stayed in the capital, he was a little worried.
But Melanie told him before her death that he must go to the royal city to find his grandfather when he becomes an adult.
Hill wanted to take a look at first.
However, Frank suddenly appeared the day before his coming-of-age ceremony.
There must be something going on in the royal city. Frank felt that Hill, who was just a mage, might have some trouble at the gate.
But if Hill decided to go, he had no problem.
Hill had to make his own decision, whether to take the risk or took refuge with Frank.
So Frank just left without saying anything, letting Hill think about what kind of future he wanted.
Hill knew that the warlock grows freely before he reached the level of legend, and he couldn’t learn spells of other departments. The spell scrolls that Melanie left him were enough for him.
No matter what happens to the royal city, there would be no problem with Frank as an archmage, but if Hill was in the royal city, it was likely to be used to drag Frank into the water. Hill had no interest in being held as a hostage, so he should rush to the border as soon as possible and go abroad for some adventure!
The pioneering order in his hand was a very good tool.
The decree inside was witnessed by the God of Justice. Approved by all the countries of this continent, only issued by the Temple of Justice.
As long as it is used in the wilderness area, the territory would be Hill’s. Automatically backed up by the hall of justice, and no kingdom could interfere.
As a territory recognized by the gods, it would automatically appear on the alchemy map.
However, if the land developed by the lord exceeds the scope of the alchemy map, it depends on whether the lord could protect these places.
But, after a long period of occupation, the alchemy map would recognize this as your territory.
Generally speaking, most of these developed territories were destroyed by the claws of monsters.
Once the core was shattered, the backup part of the hall of justice also dissipates automatically.
Go back to your own country and become a landless noble in your own country.
There are many successful people, and that’s how the kingdom of Salar was built.
But more lives were lost.
The wilderness area was endless. In ancient times, the gods could fall into the abyss, not to mention now that the gods couldn’t come to the world.
The most gratifying thing about this world was the complexity of the god system, and the higher-rank gods were the mainstream. Without a unified pantheon, the wilderness divides all races far away from each other, and only the strong could walk everywhere.
The opponents of all races were the monsters from the wilderness. Also, the devils and demons from the abyss. There were enough conflicts within the human race, and the human country was under the eyes of the gods. All wars could only be carried out within the agreed bottom line.
The gods could only attract believers and couldn’t force them, and believers abound among the strong. Hill respected the gods. After all, in the history of mankind, it was the gods who protected mankind from being swallowed up by the wilderness.
But as a transmigrator, he couldn’t give himself to any god.
As a wizard, it was normal to not believe in God, and no one will be suspicious. There were also some wizards who believe in the god of knowledge, while the others would hide from missionaries of the temple.
The inheritance of warlocks had allowed many people to become legends as long as they didn’t expose their identities. There were many people who overturned their cars after believing in gods, and even gods had been pitted to the point of vomiting blood.
The God of Justice once had a Warlock with a bloodline of the devil as a believer. Before the legendary level, his piety was admired by the God of Justice. However, once he entered the Legend after his bloodline was fully awakened, he used his life to search for a loophole in the God of Justice’s contract.
As a former devout believer, he knew the God of Justice very well. The chaos created during that time made the Church of the God of Justice unwilling to talk about it to this day. And although this legendary warlock disappeared among humans, there were also rumors that he escaped to the abyss.
Since then, it was a free choice for warlocks to believe in God. You could believe in it, but the gods would basically not give anything back.
However, the nobles really hope that the family would have a warlock bloodline.
Noble titles must be inherited by knights or above. If the direct line loses the title, the collateral line who becomes a full-time professional could also get the right of inheritance. Mage, you had to have both talent and strong will and wisdom. People who couldn’t even be a knight could only be a mage apprentice all their lives.
Therefore, once awakened, a warlock at the official mage level was really attractive to nobles.
As a result, many little warlocks were treated as stallions before they grow up, and the sorceress was even more miserable.
This chaotic day had passed for almost a hundred years, and the senior warlocks must make a comeback for their kin and their own future.
But the bloodline of warlocks had too many bizarre things, legendary warlocks who have the ability to organize associations couldn’t guarantee that they would not fight after meeting, and there was also a single legendary warlock who could only protect the people that stand around him.
In the end, the only legendary sorceress at that time, Dirant, built a magic tower in the wilderness to receive all the sorceresses who defected.
This small territory was protected by all the legendary sorceresses, and the nobles also know that this was their bottom line.
This tower also survived in the wilderness, and after thousands of years, it became the current Sorceress Kingdom Dirant.
But the warlocks were left alone, either lingering in the sorceress kingdom and being driven out when he grew into a legendary or finding a corner to live silently.
In fact, there were many warlocks who could survive independently until the legendary level, but there were also warlocks who didn’t care about becoming a stallion, marrying a wife, and having children. Such people would never be able to enter the legend, and no one would care.
Hill didn’t know why he was reborn in this world, but after the childbirth, Melanie’s stormy operation made him astonished and passed the adaptation period. The angry witch ended the quarrel with the earl with a firestorm and moved directly from the castle with Hill and the maid family.
The witch’s enthusiasm for life seems to have disappeared along with her scorching love. She plunged into the alchemy laboratory and did not go out for a year and a half.
Fortunately, There was the maid, Lina, who took care of Hill.
Bonn, his valet, was three years old at the time. Lina’s whole mind was devoted to taking care of Hill, and she never had thought of having a second child.
It was not until Hill returned to the castle that Lina, who stayed at the manor, gave birth to another pair of twins, Dean and Shani.
After Hill was 3 years old, Melanie began to teach him common sense and writing.
That time was really hard, Melanie didn’t care how much he could learn, she just kept teaching at her own pace.
Fortunately, he had a memory of his previous life studying civil engineering, and his second life made him had an unforgettable memory. He knew that his fate was unpredictable, and Hill would persevere no matter how boring it was.
Melanie only taught him for two years. After seeing him learn magic runes and mathematics independently, she went back to alchemy. Hill could only teach himself.
If it wasn’t for the memory of his past life, he would never be able to hold on. When he was really irritable and powerless, Hill pulled Bonn over to study.
Bonn is the valet who was ordered to follow Hill. He needed to learn many skills with his parents, and he had to be pulled by the little master to learn the common sense of the mage, which was actually very hard.
But for Bonn, who was a servant, even if he awakened a little mana, his descendants may become mages, and he could only insist on it.
Bonn’s persistence gave Hill a stimulus: no one wants to fall behind!
After meditating to the limit every day, he read the book and tell Bonn about it, and then used the conclusion from teaching Bonn to sort out the context. Hill organized the knowledge of spells from simple to profound.
When Melanie was injured and lay on the bed and started teaching Hill, she found that her son seemed to be very talented, and she began to pour her knowledge toward Hill.
That kind of gratification from his mother was actually very heartbreaking. Fortunately, he had memories since he was born, and he had no expectations from these two people. If he was an ordinary child, he would have been tricked to death by such parents.
His parents in his last life gave him a lot of love. Melanie was very young, and she was only 16 when she gave birth to him. Hill did not regard her as a mother and did not seek any maternal love from her, so he was tolerant of her. A lot, after all, Melanie was much better than the Earl as a father.
And Melanie was really rich as an alchemist, and her love for her son can only be reflected in the wealth she gave him. Hill had 4 storage rings.
Bonn’s mana was awakened a year ago and he could become a mage apprentice. Although he could only recreate a small spell, Hill let Bonn work more slowly in purchasing supplies during the year.
Although they thought would spend a period of time in the capital with Frank, the habit of the civil engineers making a lot of plans helped a lot. Now they only needed to buy some special products along the road, and everything else was ready.
Salar always issued a pioneering order to the landless baron in the kingdom, and no one would be stupid to refuse to accept it. After all, even if you couldn’t accept the risks, just in case your descendants may need it.
It’s just that there would be a difference in the development order. As a father, the earl still gave Hill the best kind: Hill could own territory with the size of an earldom.
Hill also had some advantage while he’s been inside Perast castle for 4 years, as he read the entire castle’s books. In the earl’s private small study, there were many ancestral manuscripts that were only allowed to be read by the direct descendants.
When Hill looked at these ancestral manuscripts, he always thought that the earl would stop him, but even Manton didn’t come. The word that knowledge was wealth was probably forgotten by these people long ago, and as a beneficiary, Hill could only make a fortune in silence.
