Carefree Path of Dreams

Panda Novel

“Illusion?”

At the moment, Fang Yuan understood the cause and effect.

Even so, their hammer was extremely heavy. The wind whistled, and he could not find any flaws.

Undoubtedly, he would suffer a serious blow mentally if he was heavily injured here.

“But to play with illusions in front of a Dream Master?” Fang Yuan revealed a cold smile and suddenly bellowed, “Take my punch!”

He clenched his right fist and quickly swung it.

Kaboom!

The space shattered and transformed into Earth, Fire, Wind, and Water before returning everything into a primeval state of chaos.

Under a Sage’s might and his magic punch, the Legend barbarian’s face was slugged. His whole body was reduced into particles.

Suddenly, a black hole appeared with him in the center and expanded outwards non-stop.

The whole world suddenly shattered. For a while, Fang Yuan lost the concept of gravity and floated in a space of nothingness.

However, he smiled slightly, and with a wave of his hand, flowers fell from the sky while a golden lotus suddenly bloomed from the ground. A golden ray spread, occupying the entire empty space in the blink of an eye.

The hidden will was forced to reveal itself instantly, shouting in shock and anger, “Mutated God!!”

Unfortunately, he was still wrapped up by the golden lotus no matter how he struggled and appeared on Fang Yuan’s hand.

“You have degenerated. Why should such a small will remain? You seem to have the idea of reincarnating by borrowing a body… but it’s a pity that you met me.”

In front of a Legend’s will, average people would definitely not have any power to resist. However, to a Sage, he was walking right into a trap!

Fang Yuan sat down cross-legged and slowly placed his palms together, as if he was a god that was high above.

Crack!

The golden flower shattered, and the remains of Glendon’s will inside vanished among the chaos.

At the same time, a mysterious thing continuously leaked out and was absorbed by Fang Yuan.

This was an expert’s martial techniques, a Legend profession’s advance knowledge, and some shattered memories of secrets.

Of course, most importantly, the tad essence that the Legend had left behind.

“A domain seed? If a normal person obtained this, they could completely become a powerful professional. Of course, due to the restriction of the original owner, the probability of breaking through to Legend drops drastically.”

Fang Yuan thought of something, and a brilliance with four colors appeared. It evolved into Earth, Fire, Wind and Water and refined the seed. It then disappeared into his forehead.

How could the fragmented power of a Domainer shake his path?

Furthermore, this was not his original body. There would naturally not be any restraint.

…

Morning.

Pleasant sunshine beamed in from the window, bringing a feeling of warmth.

Fang Yuan opened his eyes and realized that he was sitting on a chair in the study. It seemed that he had fallen asleep on the table.

“Dream?!”

Everything that happened the night before seemed to be a dream. However, the changes in his stats window clearly showed that the legacy of Glendon really existed.

“Name: Luhn (Fang Yuan)

Essence: 10.0 (200)

Spirit: 10.0 (200)

Magic: 10.0 (200)

Profession: Warrior

Cultivation: ???

Technique: ???

Skill: [Medicine (Level 3)], [Botany (Level 6)(Peak)], [Fiery Golden Eyes (Level 3)], [Body Seal (Ultimate form)]”

“A Legend knight’s remains can quickly increase my cultivation.”

Fang Yuan stood up and stretched in satisfaction before opening the door of the villa.

Bishop Daniel, Scholar Hahn, and the other notaries, as well as housekeeper Marseille, were all standing in front of the door.

When they saw Fang Yuan, they had a surprised look on their faces. “You… succeeded?”

“Succeeded?”

Fang Yuan laughed, unbothered. “If the condition is to live in the study for a night, then I have indeed achieved it.”

“Congratulations, Sir Luhn!”

Daniel and Hahn made eye contact before nodding their heads.

Since he had achieved the ‘condition’, it was at least unquestionable regarding the party’s inheritance of the knight’s fief.

However, they still had to observe if he had inherited the Legend knight’s power. But this was no longer their responsibility.

After the ‘ceremony’ ended, more and more forces would naturally pay close attention to this place.

“Master!”

Looking at the scene, housekeeper Marseille and the other servants did not hesitate to express their loyalty toward their new owner.

Next was a string of trivial matters of signing documents and having a banquet. Under the lead of Marseille, Fang Yuan also gathered the people in the village to let them get to know him, the newly-promoted lord.

Daniel and Hahn made a signal with their eyes. After enjoying a sumptuous lunch, they chose to bid goodbye.

“Phew… It’s much quieter at last.”

Fang Yuan touched the arm of the study’s chair while looking at the coat of arms on the wall behind.

Nobles would definitely have a coat of arms. A true scholar could tell the origin of the family just from a coat of arms’ pattern and style.

The previous coat of arms of Jorah’s family was the shape of a shield. The base color was bright red and had crossed swords and a flower crown at the top. There was also a circle of olive leaves surrounding it as decoration.

“The bright red base color is the tradition of the Stan Duchy, and the crossed swords symbolizes the knight… The crown on top, on the other hand, represents the meritorious deed that was once achieved…” Fang Yuan muttered, and then asked promptly, “Marseille… My keeper, tell me, what have I inherited?”

“Yes, Master!”

Marseille consciously straightened his back.

To a new owner, it was almost only right to change all the old servants. To be willing to let them stay, the newly promoted knight was very gracious.

Especially when Fang Yuan had confirmed his job as a housekeeper, this caused him to be energized and wanting to show his best side. “On the territory that belonged to Sir Jorah previously, there is a thousand acres of farming land. If the mountains and hills are included, there is around 2000 acres of land. According to the rule that Knight Jorah had set before, the tax is half of the output of the territory.”

Half of the tax was already terrifying.

Needless to say, this was only the agricultural tax. As the lord, he could also extract business tax, labor, and even anything else he could think of, such as the famous ‘right of the first night’.

At this standard, Knight Jorah was actually acknowledged as a ‘gracious’ lord. This made Fang Yuan feel more pessimistic about the lives of the lower class people.

“There are 987 people on the whole territory, with 105 households, including five households of free residents among them.

“Aside from this, you also have a mill. In this villa, there are a total of 17 servants, including two chefs, six maids, and four grooms…

“Previously, Sir had also left behind a suit of knight armor, two horses, and 257 Stan gold coins.”

The life of a noble ought to be extravagant, and it was common to have over ten servants.

What Fang Yuan had taken a liking to was still the suit of armor. This was a family heirloom to many knights, and its value was even equal to half of the territory.

After thinking, Fang Yuan went on to instruct, “Allow all the other servants to come back and clean the villa once.”

People had, of course, lived in this villa previously. The sons of the Knight Jorah, as well as their descendants, had lived there.

However, when the inheritance ceremony was activated, it had become a ghost territory at night.

As the source of it was settled by Fang Yuan, there was no longer a problem.

“Alright, this is about it. Is there anything else?” Fang Yuan asked the housekeeper for suggestions.

“There’s nothing else.” Marseille shook his head. “However, as a newly promoted lord, you need to bring gifts to visit your lord, Baron Shawshank, within a month.”

“Okay. I’ll leave the gift preparations to you.”

Fang Yuan waved his hands to dismiss the housekeeper.

By obtaining what a Legend had left behind, it could greatly increase his knowledge about this world. He could not wait to open up this treasure.

…

At the moment, there was a horse carriage that was moving slowly under many knights’ escort outside the estate of the newly promoted Sir Luhn.

“Bishop Daniel.” Looking at Daniel, who was writing swiftly over a table on the jolting horse carriage, Scholar Hahn could no longer hold it in and opened his mouth to ask, “Knight Luhn has already inherited the Legend’s power…”

“That’s right… Legend…”

Daniel laughed lightly once. “But there’s no need to give him importance. After all, he has only obtained the inheritance and still needs time to grow and develop.”

As a bishop of the Church of Death, Daniel had a much higher vision than Scholar Hahn.

Even he had seen a true ‘Son of God’ once and knew the secret within.

Even if the god soul had arrived from a young age, the sons and daughters of the God would need a long time to grasp or recover their original power.

Since even they were like this, there was nothing much to say about a Legend.

“Of course, with that little amount of the Legend’s essence, Knight Luhn will definitely grow to become a high-level professional in the future, or even a ‘Quasi-Legend’. However, it’s quite impossible to break through again. By swallowing a Legend, one wouldn’t be able to create another Legend. Why would there something so easy in the world? Needless to say, what he obtained was only a tiny amount of a Legend’s essence, not everything.”

Even so, the speed of his progress will also be unbelievable, and he’ll meet many challenges. This is the price of the inheritance ceremony, Daniel thought silently.

As for the request of the pastor from the countryside, he could already reject it.

To be able to inherit the power of Glendon, it meant that Luhn had passed the test of not only his bloodline, but his soul as well. The so-called ‘Descender’ was, in fact, unfounded rumor.

“However, Scholar Hahn, I think what’s most important to you now is to inform the baron about the good news. I believe that he will definitely be on cloud nine,” Bishop Daniel said, smiling.

“That’s right!”

Scholar Hahn smiled along, but was not very sure in his heart.

To the duchy, when a powerful subject appeared, it might indeed be an additional military asset in the future. However, was it really good for the lord?

This question… was even difficult to answer for Baron Shawshank.
