Carefree Path of Dreams

Panda Novel

In the morning. The dawn sunlight shone onto the ground and turned into thin rays of golden strings.

In the Shawshank Family castle, the atmosphere was not as happy and celebratory as it should have been, even though they had won a large battle.

When they had defeated Frey’s troop, Baron Shawshank, the lord of the knights and owner of this land, had unfortunately passed away from heavy injuries, leaving a huge mess.

On the other hand, there was no need to be tangled with Knight Frey anymore as he had died in an explosion the night before.

However, Bishop Daniel survived due to his exceptional strength and was captured.

At the moment, his hands and legs were tightly tied with a rope and placed with other valuable captives. They were sealed in an underground jail and awaiting their sentence.

And in the baron’s living room, the baroness’ eyes were red and swollen, obviously having cried more than once.

“Although Lord Baron has passed away, we should have Timo inherit his position to become the new Baron Shawshank!”

Fang Yuan, Gray, and a few other important figures in the castle had gathered together. After a short discussion, they decided to give Timo the new title as lord. They had changed into a new set of clothes and bowed to the reserved and sorrowful young baron.

Of course, considering that the baron was still young and could not manage much work, the baroness would takeover. This was only to be expected.

“Ahem, ahem… Everybody!”

After they discussed a series of matters, Knight Gray coughed to gain their attention. “There is another matter that we have to discuss. It’s about the engagement of Sir Luhn and Tanya. When the baron was still alive, he had made a large effort to bring them together. At this time, we should let his soul in the Netherworld rest in peace…”

“What do you think, Sir Luhn?” The former baroness looked at Fang Yuan.

Even the soul of the baron was mentioned. What else can I say? Fang Yuan mentally rolled his eyes and made a hesitant expression. “I have no issues, but the baron just passed away…”

“That’s alright. We can just settle the engagement first,” said a scholarly man.

“Alright, we’ll do it this way. Scholar Luwin, prepare the gift exchange formalities.”

The baroness rubbed her red eyes. “The baron was prepared to give Storm Hills to Sir Luhn as a dowry.”

“Storm Hills?”

Fang Yuan was shocked.

This was only a small hill and nothing compared to his territory.

However, the key was that after the addition of this land, his territory would be completely linked with the thousand acre enclave where the Howl Manor was. Storm Hills would be the heart, and there would be at least two more knight territories newly added.

In an instant, he would exceed many knights and become the top faction under the new baron.

This is roping me in, but also isolating me!

Fang Yuan looked around. Although many had smiling eyes, the meaning inside was somewhat thought-provoking.

This was still under the premise that he had led the soldiers to obtain the great victory the night before!

If there was no merit built before accepting the fiefs, he would most likely instantly become the object of public criticism?

Fang Yuan laughed coldly in his heart, feeling the devious culture among the nobles. It was truly killing people without seeing blood.

However, there’s no need to leave meat uneaten when it’s been sent to my mouth.

He smiled. “Since this is the great kindness of the baron, I will thank him on behalf of Tanya.”

Looking at this, Gray looked down.

If the baron could have held on until today and seen the great success Luhn had achieved the night before, he would have inevitably changed his way of doing things.

Unfortunately, everything was now too late.

However, it’s only an additional knight territory that allows Luhn to become the first knight under the baron. He’s still a newly promoted noble. To integrate the territory and increase his strength, it’s not something that can be done in a short time…

Thinking about this, Gray became much calmer.

Unfortunately, he did not know that there were people in the world that did things completely beyond the expectations of others.

“Alright. One last thing is the captive problem!”

Fang Yuan threw out this puzzle and silence fell, as if everyone was waiting for someone else to speak.

Usually, an average defeated soldier would either wait for his lord or family to pay the ransom, or be reduced to a slave. There was long a set of conventions.

However, what Fang Yuan was talking about was not the average soldiers, but Bishop Daniel, as well as the other liaisons of the churches.

Without their help, Knight Frey would not have had the power to challenge the baron, or even surround the baron’s castle.

However, aside from Fang Yuan, no one else had the boldness to be violent. After all, they were all from the churches. Even if they did meddle in the mortal world, they could not be casually judged.

So everyone looked down and seemed to be pondering.

Looking at this, Fang Yuan smiled. “Since no one has an idea, why don’t I suggest something? Let’s just give them to the grand duke as gifts”

Although these captives were somewhat troublesome for a baron, they were not so to a grand duke.

They could even be used as bargaining chips. Although they were not very important, it was still better than nothing.

“That’s a great idea!” The eyes of the baroness lit up. Looking at how everyone else nodded in agreement, she immediately said, “That’s what we’ll do then.”

Looking at this, Fang Yuan coldly laughed inside.

These nobles were afraid of the pressure of the churches and the Noether Kingdom, but did not want to lose their autonomy. All along, they could only act like ostriches.

Unfortunately, they did not know that the Noether Kingdom might not have the chance to invade the Stan Duchy any longer.

Because there would soon be a large change to this world!

…

The Da Qian World, in the Heavenly Abode.

A storm swept across and it was raining cats and dogs. The ocean, which was originally as silent as a virgin, transformed into a roaring, giant beast under the influence of the gale, setting off raging waves.

However, under such a terrifying environment, there was a barque stubbornly surviving without sinking.

Splash!

A wave arrived. A huge amount of seawater gushed onto the deck, sweeping away many supplies and sailors.

The mast of the barque was split in half. At the moment, it could only float along with the waves.

“Hard to port!”

Within the cockpit, Ge Fei was wearing a greyish shirt that exposed his solid chest and muscular abdomen. He bellowed hysterically, “Idiots, if you don’t want to die, hurry up and find a rope to tie yourself to the ship!”

Due to the increased fighting spirit, he could stand as firm as a mountain. At the moment, his glare was as sharp as an eagle’s. “Ocean, you cannot stop me! I will definitely find the legendary treasure island!”

…

After a night, the sky cleared and white seagulls chirped under the sunlight.

The ocean had recovered its calm, as if everything that had happened the night before was only a nightmare.

Ge Fei released the helm and returned to the captain’s room. He began writing a letter:

To His Majesty the Respected Wellington,

Very sorry. Due to the sudden storm, my ship couldn’t complete the ocean route on time, but please believe that I am more and more certain about my deduction. Our continent is not alone. On this world, there are still other brothers and sisters existing…

Once again, thank you for your sponsorship that allowed me to have the possibility of sailing this ocean. According to the agreement, I will give all of the ocean charts and routes to Your Majesty. Yesterday, we encountered a huge storm. It has caused our course to change. We have no idea how far we are from the original goal. May the Creator bless us…

…

“Captain, you should come out and take a look!”

While Ge Fei was writing, hurried footsteps were heard. His first mate knocked on his door. “In front… we discovered a harbor!”

“Hmm? Harbor, this doesn’t seem like our supply island? Maybe we’ve been blown back to our hometown? Thank the Father God!”

Ge Fei made a praying gesture.

“No! This isn’t our city!”

The first mate had a slightly terrified look. “This is a completely new world!”

“A new world?!”

Ge Fei was shocked. He went over to the observation tower and raised the telescope to look.

In his vision, a large land appeared, a large harbor standing there silently.

There was a large amount of vessels anchored, their styles totally different from the ships of the Avalon Empire.

“Such a large harbor can probably be one of the five biggest in the empire? Also, there seems to be humans there as well,” Ge Fei muttered.

Suddenly, he said with a smile, “Everyone, we’ll all be recorded in history due to this discovery. Of course, we’re also going to be rich!”

“Ahwhoooo!” the sailors cheered.

In this era, those that were willing to risk their lives to be sailors were basically the poor or exiled criminals. The only thing that motivated them was wealth.

Seeing their hope, they could not contain it anymore.

“I’m not sure how big this land is. Could the empire send soldiers to conquer it, or just make it a business partner?”

As Ge Fei was pondering, the harbor had also clearly discovered their vessel.

After an uproar, few large warships drove out. Their vessel was surrounded by these warships.

Ge Fei was quick to notice that their flag was a black mountain peak, but he did not know what it meant.

At this time, an armored soldier appeared on the opposite deck and shouted in a language that he didn’t understand.

If it was a normal Mountain Country person, they would know immediately that this was their patrolling navy officer giving a final warning to the intruder. “You have already entered the borders of the Mountain Country! Immediately drop your weapons and accept our investigation! Otherwise, there will be no room to talk!!!”

…

Fang Yuan did not want to care about the conflict in the mortal world.

However, at the instant when the Yin-Yang Continent and the Five Elements Continent met, a mighty force was produced and turned into a sacred white brilliance. It pushed the whole Heavenly Abode up.

“The Heavenly Abode has been promoted!”

His True Spirit that had returned formed ripples of surprise and joy. “If it continues like this, it won’t be just a dream to become a world in the future!”
