The Hero Who Troubles the Heroes

Chapter 2: Seeing him rise from Zhulou

When all the guests left, everything was silent.

The lanterns inside and outside McGarden Manor have been extinguished. Under the command of the butler, the servants used waterproof covers coated with slime glue to cover up those lanterns that were expensive and energy-intensive. The next time these lanterns will see the light of day, it will be the autumn harvest festival on the autumn equinox here.

It's not that the McGarden family can't afford those lights. They can light up the lights for 30 days a month, 12 months a year, and it's not bad for them. The reason is that the family motto of this family is "to be diligent and thrifty."

More than 300 years ago, the humans in the east of the continent and the demons in the west fought a splendid and tragic war.

In the early days of the war, the human army sang triumphantly under the leadership of the heroes who were once again summoned from a place called Japan in another world. The human coalition not only wiped out a large number of the demon army, but a group of brave men even sneaked into the demon emperor city and beheaded the emperor of the demon clan, Ivan the Terrible, in the palace.

However, just when the human coalition thought the war was about to be won and everyone was ready to go home with the spoils for the New Year, destruction came.

Ekaterina, the eldest princess of the demon clan, who has been traveling as an adventurer in the eastern part of the mainland, sneaked back to the Demon Imperial City to become the throne after receiving the news of her father's death.

At the same time, a blockbuster exploded on human territory. Known as the "moving library" and the "walking fountain of wisdom", the great sage Philip, who is both the saint of the harvest temple and the saint of the forging temple, defected and followed the adventurer teammate Ekater. Linna went to the demons.

And their adventurer team leader, Victoria, who was the Elf Princess at the time, rode her dragon to chase and kill the two, until the other party got the support of a team of demon troops before returning without success.

After taking the throne, Queen Catherine gathered up the defeated troops in a short period of time and assembled a powerful cavalry force. Then, with the tactic of "following a few routes, I'll go all the way", we concentrated our forces to eliminate the human army that had already split up in the Demon's territory with a partial force advantage.

The human army, which had changed from a great victory to a great defeat in an instant, had to temporarily withdraw from the Demon Race's territory, waiting for a comeback.

The demons also took this opportunity to lick their wounds to prepare for the next battle.

The brief peace lasted only ten years.

Ten years later, the flames of war reignited, and the two armies took the forest sea where the territory of demons and humans is now cut off in the middle of the continent as the stage.

After three years of war, the two sides gathered their final strength and launched the final decisive battle in the middle of the forest.

The fighting lasted for five days and five nights, and the blood made the earth muddy.

Just when Ekaterina thought she was about to win the final victory, the great sage Philip, who had been lurking by her side, jumped back and killed the exhausted Ekaterina with a full blow.

With this blow, the divine power of the God of Harvest and the God of Blacksmithing broke through the sky, and the golden color of the harvested wheat ears and the red like the flame of the hearth were intertwined, and the interwoven beam of light was clearly visible dozens of kilometers away.

Afterwards, only the Elf Queen Victoria survived on the battlefield. It was she who brought the great sage Philip back to the human world by hiding behind the enemy for more than ten years and assassinating the Demon Queen at the last moment.

Two years later, a group of elven guards brought a teenage child to the edge of the maple forest and supported him to establish a county here.

"This picture of 'be low-key, be thrifty and manage your family' written by the Elf Queen is the family motto left to us by our ancestors, the great sage Philip." After telling the story to Charles, Earl McGarden in the study pointed to the study said a quaint parchment hanging on it.

The parchment is mounted in a wooden frame that emits a lot of magical energy, and it is still well preserved for more than three hundred years. The handwriting above does not show the beauty of female handwriting, but reveals a sharp edge of knife and axe.

"Perhaps when the Elf Queen was writing, she thought of her deceased comrades and hatred for the enemy in her heart." Charles looked at the handwriting on the parchment and thought.

"Then who was the mother of the first Earl McGarden?" Charles discovered that a key figure was missing from his father's story.

"It is said to be a female adventurer." Earl McGarden said quickly, "I heard that one day our great sage ancestor drank too much. You will understand when you grow up."

"She died in the later war to defend her homeland. The elf queen found her and the great sage's orphan after the war."

After listening to the story, Charles couldn't help but ponder. At the beginning of the story, he had read many versions in many books, from hot-blooded chicken soup to those not suitable for children.

Now that his father told him that the protagonist of the story was his ancestor, he recalled the kind of story he had seen before, and after removing the **** and saving the essence, he found that there was something wrong with the story of the Infernal Affairs.

At this time, Earl McGarden said to Charles in an educative tone: "Charles, I know you have been very smart since you were a child. Your grandfather told me before his death that you would become a great scholar."

Charles nodded, after all, this is the welfare of the reincarnated transmigrator.

Earl McGarden continued: "According to the tradition of the nobility, I will find a wise tutor to be responsible for your enlightenment education for you, and he will become your steward in the future, just like our steward Alfred. Then when When you are twelve years old, you will be sent to the knowledge city to choose an excellent college for further study."

At this time, Charles realized that there was something in his father's words, so he asked tentatively, "Then the situation has changed now?"

Earl McGarden didn't answer, just said, "Guess."

Charles knew his father's temper. Whenever he said that, it meant that a person's wisdom was being tested.

Charles has not rarely seen his father test his subordinates like this. If the other party's answer can satisfy the count, the subordinate is waiting for a promotion and salary increase. Almost all the managers of the caravan in the home maple syrup workshop and outside have been tested in this way.

Now it was Charles' turn to be tested for the first time, so he thought about his father's problems while learning the posture that his grandfather often used when thinking about problems - the three fingers in the middle of his right hand tapping on the table in turn.

"Father told a historical story just now, so is it related to this history?" While thinking about it, Charles glanced at the bookshelf in the study, and then landed on one of the books - "The Legend of the Hero from Another World".

"That's it!" Charles' eyes lit up, and then the book that was thick enough to kill a slime flew towards him and hit him in the face.

"You need more practice with your mage hand." The father said to his son with a smile.

Charles rubbed his nose and turned to the directory of the book.

In this troubled world, the war between humans and demons has lasted for two or three thousand years.

More than a thousand years ago, after the gods bestowed divine protection on mortals, the balance of victory began to tilt in favor of humans.

Under the guidance of the gods, human beings began to use the power of the gods to summon a group of brave men from a place called Japan in another world to lead human beings to fight.

Starting from the year when the first devout person was granted divine protection as the first year of the divine calendar, it is now the year 1919 of the divine calendar. The warriors from another world who are summoned every three hundred years are already the same as cutting leeks. Called several times.

What makes Charles feel gratified is that these five brave warriors from Japan not only resisted the demons, but also brought a lot of fine traditions from the original world.

For example, the sewers of conscience in the city, clean toilet paper and hot spring culture, etc.

When Charles, who came here at the beginning of the year, knew that he was in a world with a European medieval background, he remembered the hygiene conditions in the Middle Ages and the Black Death, and almost made him suffocate himself to death while breastfeeding and travel again.

The catalogue marked the time when these brave warriors crossed over, and Charles pinched his fingers...

"The sixth batch of warriors is also about to come." Charles raised his head and said to his father, "The flame of war is about to rekindle."

Earl McGarden nodded with satisfaction, and then suddenly asked, "Are you also a brave who came from across?"

Charles looked at his father with the same eyes as Slime, and this moment finally came. After all, it was written in the book that the heroes who came through were reincarnated, summoned, death-snatched, and emergent. Four, that is, I don't know what the relationship between the brave and the word "fennel" in fennel beans is.

And the important feature of the reincarnated {deleted}fennel bean{/deleted} brave is the early wisdom like Charles.

So Charles shook his head and said, "No."

Just kidding, the family has money and land and is a nobleman. It's good to be a rich man who pays the money in the back. Why do you want to go all out with those Japanese people?

My great-grandfather, when he was a foreign trader, was handsome and rich, and turned back a little princess from a small kingdom that was on the verge of bankruptcy to be his wife.

His grandfather, when he was studying in the Knowledge City, abducted the dean's precious granddaughter because he was handsome, knowledgeable and rich, and left behind the brothers who cursed him for eating slime without a spoon. .

My own father, the one in front of him, was in business and abducted the youngest daughter of a duke who was trying to rebel against him, who was going to marry with another family. And I heard that he has a lover outside who is too beautiful to make his mother jealous.

According to the McGarden family's tradition of alternating between generations of businessmen and scholars, Charles is ready to go to the knowledge city to find schoolgirls.

When the brave go to fight to the death? Or please another Gao Ming.

Earl McGarden naturally wouldn't let his son go so easily, because he was not the only one who doubted Charles as much as him.

"Really?" Earl McGarden revealed his aura. The coercion of a magician cannot be resisted by a child.

Charles didn't resist the pressure from his father, in fact, he couldn't resist.

He raised his trembling hand tremblingly and said, "I can swear to the **** of light that I am not a hero from Japan."

In this world where gods exist, one of the most common uses of gods is to use them as lie detectors, even for a family that doesn't believe in gods like the McGarden family.

A holy white light flashed across Charles' body, and then nothing happened to him.

Of course, if what he said was "I am not a hero from another world", he would have been burned by the flames of light for lying.

Earl McGarden breathed a sigh of relief, and then his whole person returned to his usual fatherly appearance.

Charles, who had passed this level, also breathed a sigh of relief. He didn't want to endure this kind of family education a second time.

Earl McGarden went on to say: "Because the war is coming, many people's minds are starting to become active."

"Hey hey hey..." Earl McGarden said coldly, "That big bear is so smart, he hit us on the head."

"And the prince who proposed to your sister Mila two months ago also got his idea on our heads. But don't worry about him, I will ask Miss Elizabeth to help us negotiate with his father. ."

This time Charles understood that everything was a routine. No wonder Marquis Hermanlik wanted to stuff Cynthia to himself.

The troubled times are approaching, the McGarden family has money, and the Hermanlik family has an army. At that time, the title of Marquis Hermanlik may become a duke known as the "King's Reserve". Since it is a reserve team, it is not impossible to climb up.

And with this kind of ambition, Marquis Hermanlik is not the only one.

"So last month when Mira just turned twelve years old, I sent her to Bright Seminary. That was the path she chose." Earl McGarden said, "Next, I plan to spend a few days. I will send you to the Knowledge City. Your grandfather left a letter of recommendation for you before he died, and you can take the letter and ask his old classmates for help. "

Charles nodded, and it seemed that his journey of picking up girls could start ahead of schedule.

Then, Earl McGarden solemnly took out a box from the drawer. When he opened the box, Charles saw a ring inside.

"Take it and put it on, I know you've wanted it for a long time." Earl McGarden put the box with the ring in front of Charles.

This ring with no gems inlaid and only a simple pattern is naturally not a ring that symbolizes the title of the earl, but a space ring filled with various books.

The McGarden family's business school heirlooms rely on the knowledge in the ring.

No matter what era, knowledge is the most precious wealth.

Charles now knew what his father meant, so without hesitation he picked up the ring he had seen on Grandpa's hand and put it on the index finger of his left hand.

The ring seemed to be alive. After it was put on Charles' finger, it automatically shrunk to a size suitable for his finger.

Charles had to sigh with emotion. Sure enough, the products produced by elves must be excellent products.

It was late at night, and Earl McGarden stood up and looked out at the moonlit garden outside the window.

"It's a pity, Miss Elizabeth still didn't make it to your birthday. It seems that the heavy rain a few days ago hindered their trip." Earl McGarden sighed.

At this point, the words to be said have been said, and Earl McGarden asked Charles to wash and sleep.

Since it is to wash and sleep, it is natural to wash before going to bed.

Thanks to the heroes of different worlds, this world does not have the bad habit of treating bathing like a flood. Moreover, they also brought the hot spring culture of Japan.

The only fly in the ointment is that the hot spring in the McGarden family's domain is too far from the manor. Although the scenery is very good, it is too troublesome to visit.

However, this is not a problem.

As long as the mind does not slip, there are always more solutions than problems.

If Charles' parents want to take a hot spring at home, they can "biu" two first-level fireballs in a small swimming pool-like bath by themselves. If there are two or three more "biu", they can take a sauna.

Of course, this is the strength of a middle-aged magician. And Charles, a little boy who can only know one or two little magics and can't even be regarded as an apprentice, it is not bad that the small fireball from "biu" can heat the water in the big wooden barrel.

So Charles, who is self-reliant, is now soaking in the steaming hot water heated by himself in a large wooden bucket. When he soaked his face flushed, he immediately climbed out of the hot water bucket and turned to another side with a cool well that had just been drilled. Water in a large wooden barrel.

On this midsummer night, after a hard day's work, a simple version of the sauna can dissipate the day's fatigue.

As the young master of the evil landlord class in feudal society, when taking a bath, there is naturally a maid waiting by the side of the bathroom.

At this moment, a maid in a long black dress and a white apron stood in the bathroom watching the young master jump up and down between the two wooden barrels.

In her own words, her job now is to make sure that the young master doesn't drown in the bucket while playing in the water.

After tossing for a while, Charles finally sat down quietly against the wall of the cold water bucket, resting his head on the rim.

The maid knew that the young master had done enough tossing, so she carried a small bucket of water and a small bottle of shampoo to wash the young master's hair.

At this moment, the whole bathroom fell silent, except for the sound of the maid's fingers rubbing against Charles' hair and scalp, and the sound of water being flushed.

After finishing his hair, Charles said to the maid, "Aunt Pomegranate, go to the kitchen when you get home. I asked them to leave some snacks for you to take back."

Just as Pomegranate put the small wooden bucket and shampoo away, she was excited and a little embarrassed and said, "Thank you, young master, and let me bring some snacks back."

Pomegranate is a free man under the Earl of McGarden, and the country people are sincere, and often use those common flowers and plants to name their children. It is said that her father was haggling with a pomegranate vendor when she was born, so she got the name.

Twelve years ago, when Charles' sister Mila was born, their mother began to look for a reliable maid to help raise the child.

After layers of screening, Pomegranate, who had raised all four of her children in her thirties, became the exclusive parenting servant of the McGarden family.

To match Charles with a young and beautiful sister? Just kidding, the experience value of never having a child is zero. Is a maid a ghost?

Therefore, for the past eight years, Pomegranate, the industrious and simple maid, has been by the side of the two brothers, Charles and Mila.

After returning to his room from the bathroom, Charles lay on the bed and looked at the silver moon outside the window, recalling what his father said in the study tonight.

The chaotic world is coming, this chaotic world.

Charles waved his hand, and a light screen that only he could see appeared in front of him.

On the A4 paper-sized screen is his personal information, just like in the countless games, frozen eels and online novels that he has watched in his past life, it shows his name, age, level, experience, physical strength, Information on constitution, strength, magic, agility, spirit, skills, and blessings.

When Charles opened this thing under the guidance of his grandfather, he almost collapsed. He could accept that he lived in a world with gods, swords, magic and slimes, but he couldn't accept this thing.

He once wondered if he was burned into a vegetative state by the fire, and then his family let him participate in some strange experiments in order to save medical expenses. After all, in his last life, the conditions of his home were not good. The house had a building but the red line for demolition was two meters away, and he was just an ordinary construction dog. Even if he was given a few lottery tickets before he died, who could Guaranteed to win?

It wasn't until he noticed some small details around him that he accepted that this was a real world.

After all, he has never heard of any virtual reality game that arranges menstrual periods for female NPCs or characters.

After seeing that his physical strength and physique had increased by 1 point each due to the physical exercise a while ago, Charles complained as always, "This is really a world written into a novel that will definitely hit the streets."

In addition to these messy settings, what makes Charles uncomfortable is that the gods of this world are likely to go to India, their hometown, to drink the Ganges water.

Because the political structure on this continent exudes a hint of caste system.

The relationship between the five different classes of the monks and nobles at the top of the temples, the kings of the various kingdoms, and their relatives within three generations, the royal family, the nobles, the free people, and the slaves, is very similar to the four castes in India.

Most importantly, Charles saw the suppression of technology—whether scientific history or magical technology—in history. UU Reading www.uukanshu.com

Not to mention other things, there is a big problem with the paper. Inexpensive paper that can be used for writing has appeared two or three times with the hero. But whenever the war is over, and the brave men go back or stay old and die, in less than 20 years, those workshops and techniques for making paper will be completely wiped out.

If it wasn't for the elves living long enough, humans might not even know that such a thing happened.

Now the paper on the mainland is only parchment and soft toilet paper that cannot be used for writing.

And the only ones who can do this are the gods in the sky.

In such a world, Charles lived a very depressed life.

Especially when the war is coming, his family's previous practice of weakening conventional power while maintaining independence in order to maintain independence is obviously difficult to work.

This approach is like having two powerful but unresponsive "Big Ivans" at home, and the conventional power is utterly weak.

Usually everyone is afraid of "Big Ivan", so they don't act rashly. But when the "Big Ivans" are restrained, the McGarden family will become a fat sheep that has been killed for ten years.

Fortunately, the McGarden family has one specialty - money. When the wind is not right, hiring a group of reliable adventurers, plus the guards of the family caravan, can at least deter Xiao Xiao.

As for the face fruit left by the ancestors? Just kidding, if you don't have the strength, that thing is similar to Maple Leaf's butt-wiping in troubled times.

Just when Charles was thinking about how to improve his strength in the next time, suddenly his eyes darkened after a loud "Boom", and in the end he didn't know anything.
